For these purposes, “Accrual Period” means the relevant period for which interest is to be calculated (from and including the first such day to but excluding the last); and
“Determination Period” means the period from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, or, for the first Determination Period, March 31, 2015, as the case may be, to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date.
11
(d) A Holder of any Note at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(e) Payments on the Global Notes will be made through the Principal Paying Agent. Payments on the Notes will be made in Euros at the specified office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent; provided that all such payments with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with and registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, will be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the holder or holders thereof to the Common Depositary.
(f) Principal on Physical Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, initially the specified office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent. Interest on Physical Notes will be payable by wire transfer to the account specified by the holder or holders thereof as notified to the Principal Paying Agent in writing at least 15 days prior to such payment date.
(g) The Notes of each series shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuer as provided in Article 4.
(h) The Issuer undertakes that it will maintain a Paying Agent (which may be the Principal Paying Agent) with a specified office in a European Union member state that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct Tax (as defined in Section 3.1) pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC (as amended from time to time) or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

Section 2.5 Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes.
(a) The Global Notes initially shall be deposited with and registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream.
(b) Members of, or participants in, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by Euroclear or Clearstream, or the Common Depositary, or under such Global Note, and the Common Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by Euroclear or Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear or Clearstream and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of Euroclear or Clearstream governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for the Notes represented thereby with the
15
Common Depositary for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Management Regulations” and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream, respectively, shall be applicable to the Global Notes.
(c) The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Euroclear or Clearstream or its nominee, Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes of either series.
(d) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Common Depositary (or its nominee by a nominee of the Common Depositary to the Common Depositary or to another nominee of the Common Depositary, or by the Common Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Common Depositary or a nominee of such successor Common Depositary), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream.
(e) If at any time:
(1) either Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary for the Global Notes of either series or Euroclear or Clearstream ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary for the Global Notes of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days of such notice or cessation; or
(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Euroclear or Clearstream on behalf of their Agent Members for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes;
such Global Note or Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes of the applicable series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as Euroclear or Clearstream shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominee thereof).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(e), the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global Note to be transferred.
16
(g) Except as provided in Section 2.5(e), beneficial owners of the Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive Physical Notes.
Section 2.6 Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Note when due and payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Issuer shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders affected thereby, with a copy to the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent, a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date and amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.7 Execution of Guarantee.
The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note. If the Issuer shall execute Physical Notes in accordance with Section 2.5, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each such Note. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.
In case any Officer of the Guarantor who shall have signed the Guarantee endorsed on a Note shall cease to be such officer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor; and any Guarantee endorsed on a Note may be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Guarantee, shall be the proper officers of the Guarantor, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an officer.
Section 2.8 Add On Notes.
The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture Add On Notes having terms identical to those of the Outstanding Notes of either series, except that Add On Notes:
(a) | may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes; |
17
(b) | may have a different first Interest Payment Date after issuance than other Outstanding Notes of such series; |
(c) | may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes of such series; and |
(d) | may have terms specified in Add On Note Board Resolutions or the Add On Note supplemental indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A or B (and related definitions), as the case may be, applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes) and which shall not affect the rights, benefits, immunities or duties of the Trustee. |
In authenticating any Add On Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(a) | the Add On Note Board Resolutions or Add On Note supplemental indenture relating thereto; |
(b) | an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 8.5; and |
(c) | an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 8.5 stating, |
(1) that the forms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;
(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;
(3) that such Notes and the related Guarantees, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer and the Guarantor in the manner provided for herein and in the Base Indenture and the Guarantee, respectively, subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Notes;
18
(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes have been complied with; and
(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.
If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or an Add On Note supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes:
(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;
(2) if the Trustee in good faith determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Notes; or
(3) if the issue of such Add On Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Notes if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 2.9 ISIN Numbers and Common Codes
The Issuer in issuing the Notes of each series may use “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use) and common codes, and, if so, the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent shall use “ISIN” numbers and common codes in notices of redemption and other notices to the Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes of a given series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes of a given series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent in writing of any change in the “ISIN” numbers or common codes.
19
ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 3.
Section 3.1 Payment of Additional Tax Amounts.
All payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes of either series and by the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political sub-division thereof or by any authority therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will (a) withhold or deduct such amounts, (b) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount of interest and principal which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes of such series in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Tax Amounts”) and (c) pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant tax or other authority in accordance with applicable law, except that no such Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note:
(1) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed or levied by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner) having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the mere holding (or beneficial ownership) of such Note or receiving principal or interest payments on the Notes (including but not limited to citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or the existence of a business, permanent establishment, a dependant agent, a place of business or a place of management present or deemed present in the Taxing Jurisdiction);
(2) in respect of any Tax that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled or otherwise comply with any reasonable certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction if (a) compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or treaty as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the Taxes, (b) the Holder (or beneficial owner) is able to comply with these requirements without undue hardship and (c) the Issuer has given the Holders (or beneficial owners) at least 30 calendar days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such requirement;
(3) in respect of any Tax imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC (as amended from time to time) or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;
(4) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed by reason of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture;
(5) to the extent that any such taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Notes, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and
20
payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Tax Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or
(6) any combination of items (1) through (5) above.
For purposes of this Section 3.1, “Tax” or “Taxes” means, with respect to payments on the Notes, all taxes, withholdings, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax.
Section 3.2 Stamp Tax.
The Issuer and the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument in relation thereto.
Section 3.3 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 8 of the Base Indenture, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer and the Guarantor determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
Section 3.4 Certificates of the Issuer and the Guarantor.
The Issuer and the Guarantor will each furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as to the signers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture). In the event an Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of the Issuer comes to have actual knowledge of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, regardless of the date, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying such Default and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.5 Guarantor To Be the Sole Equityholder of the Issuer.
So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor or its successor will directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer.
21
Section 3.6 Limitation on Liens.
The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, upon any of its property or assets (including any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any subsidiary), whether owned or leased on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or hereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness incurred by the Guarantor or any subsidiary, without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Notes outstanding (together with, if the Guarantor so determines, any other Indebtedness by the Guarantor or any such subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes or the Guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured unless, after giving effect to such Lien, the aggregate amount of secured Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured solely by Permitted Liens) plus the value (as defined in Section 3.7) of all Sale-Leaseback Transactions (other than those described in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of Section 3.7) then outstanding would not exceed 10% of the Guarantor’s Consolidated Net Worth.
Section 3.7 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks.
The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction after the date of this Supplemental Indenture unless:
(a) | the Sale-Leaseback Transaction: |
(1) involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than five years;
(2) occurs within 270 days after the date of acquisition, completion of construction or completion of improvement of such property; or
(3) is with the Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries; or
(b) | the Guarantor or any subsidiary, within 270 days after the Sale-Leaseback Transaction shall have occurred, applies or causes to be applied an amount equal to the value of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any subsidiary that is not subordinated to the Notes and that has a Stated Maturity of more than twelve months; or |
(c) | the Guarantor or such subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.6 to create, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness secured by a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the property without equally and ratably securing the Notes. |
As used in this Section 3.7, the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction as determined by the
22
Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of full years of remaining term of the lease (without regard to renewal options) and the denominator is the full years of the full term of the lease (without regard to renewal options).
Section 3.8 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE 4
REDEMPTION OF NOTES
Section 4.1 Optional Redemption.
The Issuer may at its option redeem the Notes of either series in whole or in part from time to time, on any date prior to maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.2, at the Redemption Price plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Section 4.2 Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 8.4 to the Holders of Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed, with a copy of such notice delivered to the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent. Such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the intended Redemption Date.
Section 4.3 Deposit of Redemption Price.
On the Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Principal Paying Agent or any other Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price and accrued interest in respect of all the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and subject to the rules of the applicable depositary.
Section 4.4 Tax Redemption.
(a) If, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulation thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official interpretation or
23
application, is announced on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, will be obligated to pay any Additional Tax Amount, with respect to either series of Notes, and if such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), after taking measures it considers reasonable to avoid it, then at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, the Notes of such series may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders of such Notes, at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date and any Additional Tax Amounts which would otherwise be payable; provided, however, that (1) no notice of such tax redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Tax Amounts were a payment on such Notes then due, and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Tax Amounts remains in effect.
(b) Before any notice of tax redemption pursuant to Section 4.4(a) is given to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes of the relevant series, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) so to redeem have occurred or been satisfied and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) has or shall become obligated to pay Additional Tax Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described in Section 4.4(a). Such notice, once given to the Trustee and the Holders, shall be irrevocable.

“Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture, if an Event of Default described in paragraphs (a) through (f) (inclusive) of the definition thereof (if the Event of Default under paragraph (e) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class) by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such affected series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture, if an Event of Default described in paragraph (e) of the definition thereof (if the Event of Default under paragraph (e) is with respect to all series of Securities at the time Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the then Outstanding Securities hereunder (treated as one class) for which any applicable supplemental indenture does not prevent acceleration under the relevant circumstances, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture, if an Event of Default described in paragraphs (g) or (h) of the definition thereof occurs and is continuing, then the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and premium if any, with respect to any Securities then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.”
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the amendments to Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture as provided in Section 6.1 (a) above shall apply to the Notes only and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued by the Issuer under the Base Indenture.

Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the register of the Notes of the applicable series. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, while all the Notes of each series are represented by the relevant Global Note and such Global Note is deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear or Clearstream and/or any other relevant clearing system, notices to Holders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear or Clearstream and/or any other relevant clearing system and, in any case, such notices shall be deemed to be given to the Holders in accordance with the Indenture on the date of delivery to Euroclear or Clearstream and/or any other relevant clearing system.
28
In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holders of Notes when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 8.5 Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements to be Contained Therein.
Upon any application or demand by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate or Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate, as the case may be, stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Supplemental Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with.
Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Supplemental Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Supplemental Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer of officers of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.
Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.
29
Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent.
Section 8.6 Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
If the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Notes of either series or the date fixed for redemption of any such Note shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.
Section 8.7 [Reserved.]
Section 8.8 New York Law to Govern.
This Supplemental Indenture, each 2023 Note and each 2027 Note shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State.
Section 8.9 Counterparts.
This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 8.10 Effect of Headings.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding or the parties hereto have any obligation under this Supplemental Indenture, shall have an authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) in the United States upon whom process may be served in any such legal action or proceeding. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to it shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such legal action or proceeding. The Issuer and the Guarantor each hereby appoints Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (1090 Horsham Road, North Wales, PA 19454) as its agent for such purposes, and covenants and agrees that
30
service of process in any legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at such office of such agent. The Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of any change in the Authorized Agent. In the event that any Authorized Agent resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of so acting, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Authorized Agent and shall notify the Trustee in writing of such change in Authorized Agent.
Section 8.12 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and the Guarantor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
This Global Note is in respect of an issue of 1.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) of Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), incorporated under Dutch law (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Supplemental Indenture and Indenture hereinafter referred to), and issued pursuant to a base indenture dated March 31, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”) and a supplemental indenture dated March 31, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture.
The Issuer, for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank Of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, or its registered assigns, the principal amount of €1,300,000,000 on March 31, 2023, and to pay interest on such principal amount in Euros at the rate of 1.250% per annum from the date hereof until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.

The day count convention for the purpose of calculating interest on the Notes is “Actual/Actual (ICMA)”:
(1) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period in which it falls, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the Accrual Period divided by the actual number of days in the Determination Period; or
(2) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is longer than one Determination Period, it shall be calculated on the basis of the sum of (A) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which it begins divided by the number of days in such Determination Period; and (B) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period, divided by the number of days in such Determination Period.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF 2023 NOTE]
Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V.
1.250% Senior Note due 2023
Payment of Principal, Interest and Additional Tax Amounts, if any, Unconditionally
Guaranteed By
TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. | Principal and Interest. |
Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), incorporated under Dutch law (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the Interest Rate from March 31, 2015 until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable annually in arrear on each March 31 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning March 31, 2016. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date and no interest shall accrue thereon on account of such delay.
The day count convention for the purpose of calculating interest on the Notes is “Actual/Actual (ICMA)”:
(1) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period in which it falls, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the Accrual Period divided by the actual number of days in the Determination Period ; or
(2) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is longer than one Determination Period, it shall be calculated on the basis of the sum of (A) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which it begins divided by the number of days in such Determination Period; and (B) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period, divided by the number of days in such Determination Period, with any modifications that may be needed from time to time to fully conform with the actual/actual interest calculation basis recognized by the International Capital Market Association.
For these purposes, “Accrual Period” means the relevant period for which interest is to be calculated (from and including the first such day to but excluding the last such day); and
A-6
“Determination Period” means the period from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, or, for the first Determination Period, March 31, 2015, as the case may be, to, but excluding the next Interest Payment Date.
A Holder of any Note of this series at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
2. | Method of Payment. |
Interest on any Note of this series which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date for such interest.
Payments on the Global Notes will be made through the Principal Paying Agent. Payments on the Notes of this series will be made in Euros at the specified office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent; provided that all such payments with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with and registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, will be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the holder or holders thereof to the Common Depositary.
3. | Paying Agent and Registrar. |
Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Supplemental Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, at One Canada Square, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx X00 0XX, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx as Principal Paying Agent.

This Global Note is in respect of an issue of 1.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) of Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), incorporated under Dutch law (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Supplemental Indenture and Indenture hereinafter referred to), and issued pursuant to a base indenture dated March 31, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”) and a supplemental indenture dated March 31, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”).

The Issuer, for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank Of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, or its registered assigns, the principal amount of €700,000,000 on March 31, 2027, and to pay interest on such principal amount in Euros at the rate of 1.875% per annum from the date hereof until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.

Interest shall be payable annually in arrear on each March 31 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning March 31, 2016. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such interest payment date and no interest shall accrue thereon on account of such delay.
The day count convention for the purpose of calculating interest on the Notes is “Actual/Actual (ICMA)”:
(1) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period in which it falls, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the Accrual Period divided by the actual number of days in the Determination Period ; or
(2) if interest is required to be calculated for an Accrual Period that is longer than one Determination Period, it shall be calculated on the basis of the sum of (A) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which it begins divided by the number of days in such Determination Period; and (B) the actual number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period, divided by the number of days in such Determination Period, with any modifications that may be needed from time to time to fully conform with the actual/actual interest calculation basis recognized by the International Capital Market Association.
For these purposes, “Accrual Period” means the relevant period for which interest is to be calculated (from and including the first such day to but excluding the last); and
B-6
“Determination Period” means the period from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, or, for the first Determination Period, March 31, 2015, as the case may be, to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date.

Payments on the Global Notes will be made through the Principal Paying Agent. Payments on the Notes of this series will be made in Euros at the specified office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent; provided that all such payments with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with and registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream, will be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the holder or holders thereof to the Common Depositary.

B-7
(ICMA)” day count convention as defined in Section 2.1(c) of the Supplemental Indenture), at the Reinvestment Rate, plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that for any such redemption on or after three months prior to the Maturity of the Notes (i.e., December 31, 2026), the Redemption Price for those Notes shall equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
