Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, any Exchange Agent or the Registrar, or any of their respective agents, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary and its respective Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and such beneficial owner requests that its Notes be issued in physical, certificated form.

In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this paragraph (f), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

Any Certificated Notes issued pursuant to provisions of this paragraph (f) shall bear the legend and otherwise comply as to form as required by Section 2.7 of this Indenture. Holders of an interest in a Global Note may receive such Certificated Notes, which shall be printed and distributed to the Holders by mail to the last available address of such Holders as appears on the Note Register in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary in addition to those provided for under this Indenture. In such an event, the Issuer shall notify the Holders, in the manner set forth in Section 11.1, of the applicable procedures for the payment of principal and other amounts, the delivery of Exchange Property, the procedures for transfer and exchange of Notes and the identity and contact information with respect to the then-applicable Paying Agent or Transfer Agent.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee (or the Authenticating Agent) shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Trustee, a Paying Agent, a Transfer Agent or an Exchange Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is exempt under applicable state securities laws.

(c) No Note may be offered, sold or delivered (i) as part of the distribution by the Initial Purchaser at any time or (ii) except in accordance with Rule 144A or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to Persons purchasing for their own account or for the accounts of one or more QIBs for which the purchaser is acting as fiduciary or agent. The Notes may not be sold or resold, as the case may be, in reliance on Regulation S. In addition, no Global Note may at any time be held by or on behalf of Persons that are not QIB/QPs. Neither the Trustee, the Agents nor any other Person shall register the Notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

Upon presentation for exchange or transfer of any Note as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and by any legend appearing on such Note, such Note shall be exchanged or transferred upon the Note Register and one or more new Notes shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the Holder (in the case of exchanges only) or the transferee, as the case may be. No exchange or transfer of a Note shall be effective under this Indenture unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person in the Note Register. Furthermore, the exchange or transfer of any Note shall not be effective under this Indenture unless the request for such exchange or transfer is made by the Holder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact at the office of the Registrar.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, any Exchange Agent or Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 5.1 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(d) So long as the Notes are evidenced by Global Notes and are held by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.6 and this Section 2.8(d), provided, that a beneficial interest in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the restricted Note legend on the Note. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(e) Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in definitive registered form without interest coupons pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above, and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Trustee.

(f) Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the legend set forth in Section 2.7 hereof, and if a request is made to remove such legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include such opinion of counsel as may be reasonably required by the Issuer, to the effect that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A under or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as applicable, and the Investment Company Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such legend.

(g) Each Person who becomes a holder of a beneficial interest in Notes represented by an interest in a Global Note shall be deemed to have represented, agreed and acknowledged that (terms used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A and Sections 2(a)(51) and 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act are used herein as defined therein):

(i) It and each person for which it is acting (a) is a QIB/QP, (b) is acquiring such Notes (or beneficial interests therein) for its own account or for the account of one or more QIB/QPs as to which the purchaser exercises sole investment discretion and such purchaser or transferee has full power to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account contained in Section 2.8(g)(ii) through (vii) below and in a principal amount of not less than the principal amount of the Notes for the purchaser and for each such account, (c) is aware, and each beneficial owner of such Notes has been advised, that the sale of such Notes to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) will provide notice of the transfer restrictions in this Section 2.8(g) to any subsequent transferees and (e) is not purchasing such Notes (or beneficial interests therein) with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of the Notes in violation of the Securities Act, or with the intention of evading, either alone or in conjunction with any other person, the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

(ii) It understands and agrees that the Notes (or beneficial interests therein) and the Guarantee are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States of elsewhere within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act, and have not been and will not be registered for offer or sale under the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any other jurisdiction of the United States and that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor has registered or intends to register with the SEC as an “investment company” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act.

(iii) It understands and agrees that the Notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) to the Guarantor or its subsidiaries; or (ii) to a QP who the seller reasonably believes is a QIB purchasing for its own account or for the account of one of more QIBs each of which is also a QP as to which the purchaser exercises sole investment discretion in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A in accordance with all applicable securities laws, including the securities laws of any state of the United States. In connection with any transfer of the Notes, the purchaser will furnish to the Issuer, prior to such transfer, such certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Issuer may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or that such transfer will not require the Issuer to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

(iv) It and each account for which it is purchasing is acquiring such Notes for its own account for investment purposes and not for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Less than 40% of the assets of such purchaser (and each person for whom it is acting) consist of investments in the Issuer. It and each person for which it is acting (a) was not formed, reformed, capitalized, recapitalized or operated for the purpose of investing in securities of the Issuer, including the Notes except when each beneficial owner of the purchaser and each person for which it is acting is a QP, (b) to the extent the purchaser or any person for which it is acting is a private investment company formed on or before April 30, 1996, the purchaser has received the necessary consent to its being treated as a QP from its beneficial owners who acquired their interests on or before April 30, 1996, (c) is not a participant-directed employee plan, such as a 401(k) plan or any other type of plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, unless investment decisions with respect to the plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan, (d) is not a broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25,000,000 in securities of unaffiliated issuers, (e) is not a (i) partnership, (ii) common trust fund, (iii) special trust, pension fund or retirement plan or (iv) other entity in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocation thereof, and (f) understands that the Issuer or the Guarantor may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositaries.

(v) It understands and agrees that: (a) any purported transfer of such Notes to a purchaser that does not comply with the requirements of the transfer restrictions herein will be of no force and effect and will be void ab initio; (b) the Issuer has the power to compel any beneficial owner of Notes that is not a QIB/QP to sell its interest in the Notes or may sell such interest on behalf of such owner, as described in the securities legend contained in Section 2.7(a) hereof; and (c) the Issuer has the right to refuse to honor the transfer of an interest in Notes to a person who is not a QIB/QP. It also understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in its securities from one or more book-entry depositories.

(vi) It understands that the Notes (or beneficial interests therein), including the restricted Global Note, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in accordance with applicable law, will bear a legend contained in Section 2.7(a) hereof and may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in accordance with such legend.

(vii) It acknowledges that the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Registrar (in the event that registered Notes are issued in accordance with this Indenture), the Initial Purchaser and its affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations or agreements deemed to have been made by its purchase of the Notes are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser. If it is acquiring the Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that it has sole discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each account.

(viii) It acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and the Guarantor will be solely responsible for the performance of any and all obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and shall have no right or claim against Theravance with respect to this Indenture or the Notes.

(h) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.8 shall be null and void and shall have no effect for any purpose hereunder.

Section 2.9. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes

(a) Should any Certificated Note be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the specified office of any Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, any Exchange Agent or the Registrar. Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, a claimant shall furnish an affidavit of loss and indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent, the Exchange Agents and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Certificated Note is replaced. In the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Certificated Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

(b) Upon the issuance of any new Certificated Note under this Section 2.9, the Issuer or the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, any Exchange Agent or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

(c) If at the time a mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Certificated Note is presented such Certificated Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer may pay such Certificated Note instead of issuing a new Certificated Note in replacement thereof.

(d) Every new Certificated Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 in exchange for any mutilated Certificated Note, or in lieu of any defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificated Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, the Guarantor and any other obligor upon the Certificated Notes, whether or not the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificated Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and every new Certificated Note shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificated Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may execute temporary Notes and issue an Issuer Order to the Trustee to authenticate such temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and execute definitive Notes and issue an Issuer Order to the Trustee to authenticate such definitive Notes. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer will execute one or more definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes and issue an Issuer Order to the Trustee to authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor such definitive Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of definitive Notes.

Section 2.11. Cancellation

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. All notes that are redeemed or exchanged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture will be cancelled. Each of the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Exchange Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, payment or redemption or for exchange, as the case may be. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures or return to the Issuer all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange upon Issuer Order.

Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Issuer or the Trustee shall use the same such numbers in any Exchange Notice as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any such notice and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed on the Notes. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” number.

Section 2.13. Further Issues

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Holders create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding Notes or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. Any further securities shall be issued under a separate CUSIP or ISIN number unless such securities are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the Outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes

Section 2.14. Purchases of the Notes by the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates

The Guarantor may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes at any price in the open market or otherwise. Any Note so purchased, while held by or on behalf of the Guarantor, shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote at any meeting of the Holders and shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage of Outstanding Notes in respect of which Holders have consented to any action.

ARTICLE III.

COVENANTS

Section 3.1. Payment of Notes; Additional Amounts

(a) The Issuer (failing whom, the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee) covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that it shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and any other amounts due on the Notes, pay other amounts due pursuant to Article VIII, and make all deliveries due upon an exchange of the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date for any payment due in respect of the Notes of any other amounts pursuant to Article VIII and on the Maturity Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the relevant Paying Agent in same day immediately available funds an amount sufficient to make cash payments due on such due date of payments of any other amounts or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Paying Agent shall only be obliged to remit money to Holders if it has actually received such money from the Issuer. If the Issuer, the Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, the Issuer, the Guarantor or such Affiliate shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each due date of payments of any other amounts and the Maturity Date, segregate and hold in trust an amount sufficient to make cash payments due on such due date of payments of amounts or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Principal and any other amounts on the Notes shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, the Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantor) holds in accordance with this Indenture an amount in cash designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and any other amounts then due, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is satisfied that full payment has been received from the Issuer or, upon failure of the Issuer, the Guarantor.

(b) All payments and deliveries made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes shall be free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge of any nature whatsoever imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the United Kingdom or of any territory of the United Kingdom or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax (collectively, “Taxes”), except to the extent such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made or amount delivered with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary such that the net amount received by each Holder (including such Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if the Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to Taxes:

(i) that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or therein or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or treated as a resident thereof or domiciled thereof or a national thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

(ii) that are estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, wealth or similar taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges;

(iii) that are payable other than by withholding from payments of principal of or amounts due on exchange of the applicable Notes;

(iv) that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the applicable recipient of such payment to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement to the extent such compliance is required by applicable law or administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in, the rate of deduction or withholding of such Taxes;

(v) that would not have been imposed but for the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later;

(vi) that would not have been imposed if presentation for payment of the applicable Notes had been made to a Paying Agent other than the Paying Agent to which the presentation was made;

(vii) that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Holder or beneficial owner (or any financial institution through which the Holder or beneficial owner holds any Note through which payment on the Note is made) to comply with any certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements (including entering into and complying with an agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority) imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the Notes or any successor or amended version of such provisions or any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement); or

(viii) any combination of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or delivery of amounts due on exchange of any Note to any such Holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership or a beneficial owner who is other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Note.

The Issuer shall maintain, in respect of the Outstanding Notes, at least one Paying Agent located outside the United Kingdom.

The obligation of the Issuer to pay Additional Amounts if and when due will survive the termination of this Indenture and the payment of all amounts in respect of the Notes.

Wherever in this Indenture or in the Notes there is in any provision any reference to the payment or delivery of amounts due on the Notes, whether at maturity or pursuant to any earlier redemption or repayment or otherwise, references to such amounts shall be deemed to include such Additional Amounts if, as and to the extent such Additional Amounts are payable with respect to such payment or delivery in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes, whether or not express mention to such Additional Amounts shall be made in any such provision.

Section 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency

(a) The Issuer shall maintain each office or agency required under Section 2.3. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of New York) where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve either the Issuer or the Guarantor of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer and the Guarantor, as appropriate, will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.3. Maintenance of Corporate Existence and Corporate Separateness

Subject to Article IV, the Issuer and the Guarantor will each do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

Section 3.5. Reports to Holders

At any time when the Guarantor is not subject to or is not current in any applicable SEC reporting obligations, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall upon request make available to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of Notes the information required of it by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 3.6. Notice to Holders and the Depositary

(a) So long as the Notes are outstanding and are deposited with the Depositary or a nominee therefor, the Issuer shall include in any report pursuant to Section 3.5 provided to any Person in whose name any Notes is registered a statement that (i) each such Person is required to be a QIB that is also a QP who shall be deemed to have made the representations and agreements set forth under the heading “Notice to Investors and Transfer Restrictions” in the Offering Memorandum, (ii) each such Person can only transfer the Notes to another QIB that is also a QP who shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth under the heading “Notice to Investors and Transfer Restrictions” in the Offering Memorandum and (iii) the Issuer has the right to force each such Person who is not a QIB that is also a QP to sell its Notes.

(b) The Principal Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent, upon request of the Issuer or the Guarantor, shall on the Issue Date and, for the period during which any Global Notes are outstanding, annually thereafter forward to the Depositary copies of the Important Notice in the form of Exhibit E hereto for delivery to the respective Holders.

Section 3.7. Limitation on Liens

The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, incur or assume any mortgage, charge, security interest, pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit arrangement, encumbrance, lien or other security agreement (collectively, “Liens”) on or with respect to any property, assets or revenues of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary owned on or acquired after the date of this Indenture to secure any Relevant Indebtedness without making, or causing any such Subsidiary to make, effective provision for securing the Notes equally and ratably with or prior to such Relevant Indebtedness as to such property, assets or revenues for as long as such Relevant Indebtedness is so secured.

Such restrictions on Liens shall not apply to:

(i) Liens arising by operation of law;

(ii) Liens on property, assets or revenues of any Person, which Liens are existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary; or

(iii) Liens on property, assets or revenues of any Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated with the Guarantor or any Subsidiary, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Guarantor or any Subsidiary.

On or before the 10th Business Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, or, if later, the 10th Business Day after the Issuer or the Guarantor becomes aware of such Fundamental Change, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall provide to all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent a notice of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the resulting purchase right. Such notice shall state:

(i) the events causing a Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the Redemption Date with respect to any redemption upon a fundamental change and the applicable record date;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, including the calculation thereof;

(v) that on the Redemption Date, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price will become due and payable;

(vi) the Fundamental Change Redemption Period;

(vii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Exchange Agent;

(viii) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Issuer to purchase its Notes; and

(ix) the CUSIP number of the Notes.

The “Fundamental Change Redemption Period“ shall commence on the date of the notice to all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any such Fundamental Change (pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 5.1) and end on the thirtieth Business Day following such notice; the “Redemption Date” with respect to any such redemption shall be the second Business Day following the last day of the Fundamental Change Redemption Period.

In relation to any Fundamental Change taking the form of a Merger or an Offer, the Issuer shall at all times be entitled to vote on, exercise its rights in respect of, or otherwise participate in, any such Merger as it thinks fit.

Section 5.2. Notice of Redemption

(a) To exercise the right of redemption in respect of any Note, the Holder thereof shall obtain a notice of redemption substantially in the form of Exhibit C, as may be updated from time to time (the “Redemption Notice”) from the relevant Paying Agent. Such Redemption Notice shall be duly completed in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in which the beneficial interest in the Notes to be redeemed, and shall be delivered to the Issuer, or the relevant Paying Agent on its behalf, on any day during the Fundamental Change Redemption Period, together with the applicable interest in the Global Notes in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. If the Holder holds a Certificated Note, it must deliver such Note, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written notice of the intent to exercise such redemption right, to the Paying Agent.

If a Holder delivers a Redemption Notice as described above with respect to a Note, it may not surrender that Note for exchange until such notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(c).

(b) The Issuer, or the relevant Paying Agent on its behalf, may reject any incomplete or incorrect Redemption Notice. All costs and expenses incurred or caused by an incomplete or incorrect Redemption Notice shall be paid by the relevant Holder.

(c) Holders may withdraw any Redemption Notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state the principal amount of the withdrawn Notes, if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes or, if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate DTC procedures; and the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the repurchase notice.

Section 5.3. Deposit of Redemption Price

Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money in same day immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Notes that Holders have proffered for redemption on the relevant Redemption Date.

Section 5.4. Notes Payable on Redemption Date

If a Holder gives notice of redemption in accordance with this Article V, the Notes, or the portions of Notes, delivered to the Paying Agent for redemption shall, on the relevant Redemption Date, become due and payable on the terms set forth herein. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with the notice, the Issuer shall pay the redemption price of Notes on the terms set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, as applicable.

Section 5.5. Unredeemed Portions of Partially Redeemed Note

Upon surrender of a Note that is to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of the Note at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note surrendered, provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 5.6. Redemption at Maturity

Unless previously exchanged or redeemed and cancelled as herein provided, the Notes will be repaid by the Issuer at their principal amount on June 22, 2023.

Section 5.7. Redemption at Option of the Issuer

Other than as set forth in this Section 5.7, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to the Maturity Date.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7(b) and (c), prior to June 22, 2022, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer. Subject to Section 5.7(e), on or after June 22, 2022, the Issuer may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at its option, if the value of the Exchange Property attributable to $1,000 principal amount of Notes (based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Shares or, if applicable, other Relevant Securities, taken together with any cash and the value of any other property comprising the Exchange Property) has been at least $1,300 for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, any of the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date on which the Issuer provides notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5.7(d).

(b) Subject to Section 5.7(e), the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part at any time if:

(1) the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the United Kingdom (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the application or official interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which any such jurisdiction is a party, which change, execution or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts in respect of any payment or delivery under or with respect to the Notes and the payment of such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer; or

(2) the Issuer determines, based upon an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing that, as a result of any action taken by any legislative body of, taxing authority of, or any action brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in, the United Kingdom (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) (whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Guarantor or the Issuer, as the case may be), which action is taken or brought on or after the Issue Date, there is a substantial probability that the circumstances described above would exist;

provided, however, that, in either case, no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts.

The Issuer will also pay to each holder, or make available for payment to each such holder, on the Redemption Date any Additional Amounts resulting from the payment of such Redemption Price. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption contemplated by this Section 5.7(b), the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee:

(1) an Officers’ certificate stating that it is entitled to effect a redemption in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.7(b) and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent of the right so to redeem have occurred; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the conditions specified in this Section 5.7(b) have been satisfied.

If the Issuer provides a notice of redemption in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.7(b), Holders who elect to exchange their Notes prior to redemption shall be entitled to receive upon such exchange, in addition to the pro rata share of the Exchange Property or Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable, an additional compensation amount calculated as though the redemption were an event to which the provisions set forth in Section 8.17 would apply. For purposes of the application of the provisions set forth in Section 8.17:

(i) the notice of redemption shall be deemed to be a “Merger” for purposes of clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 8.17;

(ii) such “Merger” shall be deemed to include solely an “Offered Cash Amount;”

(iii) for purposes of “MP”, the Current Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which the notice of redemption is provided by the Issuer to holders of the Notes (the “Notice Date”); and

(iv) the Notice Date shall be deemed to be the “Specified Date.”

(c) Subject to Section 5.7(e), in the event that at any time at least 90% of the original issued aggregate principal amount of Notes have been redeemed, exchanged or purchased and cancelled, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the remaining Outstanding Notes in whole but not in part.

(d) The right of Holders to exchange Notes selected for redemption will expire 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

Any redemption of the Notes at the option of the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.7 shall be upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders and the Trustee (which notice will be irrevocable and must be given in the manner set forth in Sections 5.8 and 12.1) at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

Such notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number) and shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(v) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be reissued in an authorized denomination;

(vi) that Notes selected for redemption may be exchanged for Shares until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date;

(vii) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; and

(vii) the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 5.7, the Issuer shall not be permitted to redeem the Notes if a prospectus relating to resales of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement is not available to holders of the Shares to be received upon the exchange of Notes who have complied with applicable procedures under the Registration Rights Agreement and are listed in the related prospectus or a supplement thereto at the time the Issuer provides the related notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5.7(d) or if Theravance has given notice that such prospectus will be unavailable at any time prior to the related Redemption Date.

Section 5.8. Election to Redeem by the Issuer

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.7, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 11.2(a)(i) stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of redemption have occurred.

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1. Events of Default

An “Event of Default” shall mean any one of the following events with respect to the Notes:

(a) default in payment of the principal of any Note (including any Additional Amounts with respect thereto) when due (including upon any redemption of the Notes at the option of the Issuer or the Holder), and, in the case of technical or administrative difficulties, the continuance of that default for more than two Business Days;

(b) the Issuer fails to comply with its obligations to exchange the Notes in accordance with this Indenture upon exercise by a Holder of its Exchange Rights and such failure continues for five Business Days;

(c) failure by the Issuer to provide notice of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 5.1 and such failure continues for five Business Days;

(d) default or breach of any other covenant or agreement of the Issuer or the Guarantor in this Indenture with respect to the Notes (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section 6.1), and such default or breach continues for a period of 90 days after there has been given to the Issuer and the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(e) the Issuer ceases to be controlled directly or indirectly by the Guarantor;

(f) default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed of the Issuer or the Guarantor (not including any indebtedness for which recourse is limited to property purchased) having in any particular case an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of ₤100,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency), where any such default shall have resulted in such indebtedness being accelerated and becoming due and payable prior to its stated maturity, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or such indebtedness having been discharged; provided that there shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default if such acceleration is rescinded or annulled or such payment is made within 10 days after there has been given to the Issuer and the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(g) commencement by the Issuer or the Guarantor of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or the Guarantor or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any general assignment by the Issuer or the Guarantor for the benefit of creditors.

Any delay in the delivery of Shares resulting from circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control (including any error or delay by the Depositary, the Exchange Agent for the Notes or the registrar for the Shares and any failure or delay by Theravance to take actions necessary for the registration of transfer) shall not constitute a failure by the Issuer to comply with its exchange obligations for purposes of clause (b) within the definition of “Event of Default”.

Section 6.2. Acceleration

(a) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a) through (f) (inclusive) with respect to the Notes then Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any Notes 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 Notes then outstanding hereunder by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) may declare the entire principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(g) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the Notes then Outstanding shall be and become immediately due and payable, without any notice or other action by any Holder or the Trustee, to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing to the Trustee under Section 7.7, and if any and all Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes that shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the then Outstanding Notes that have been accelerated, by written notice to the Issuer, to the Guarantor and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.3. Other Remedies

If a payment default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults

Subject to Sections 6.2, 6.7 and 9.2, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of any Security as specified in Section 6.1(b) or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.5. Control by Majority

Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7. 2, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes by this Indenture; provided, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; and provided further, that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any directions received from Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits

No Holder of any Note may institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

Section 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal or Additional Amounts payable in respect of such Holder’s Note on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes in payment of the principal as specified in Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer and the Guarantor for the whole amount of such principal of the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.6.

Section 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim, Etc.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Guarantor, the creditors of the Issuer or the Guarantor, or the property of the Issuer or the Guarantor and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it under Section 7.6. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes, the Guarantee or the rights of any Holder under the Notes or the Guarantee, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Application of Proceeds

Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six in respect of the Notes shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or Additional Amounts, if any, upon presentation of the several Notes in respect of which moneys have been collected and noting thereon the payment, or issuing Notes in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Notes if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.6;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Notes shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Notes for principal, and Additional Amounts, if any; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal without preference or priority of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount pursuant to the Guarantee, the Guarantor, or any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, the Guarantor, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the Notes, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.9, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VII.

TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT, TRANSFER AGENT, EXCHANGE AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee

(a) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.2, 6.4, 6.5 or 6.6; and

(d) Neither the Trustee nor the Principal Paying Agent shall be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(e) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VII.

(h) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

(i) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses (including documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might properly be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all sums held by the Trustee or the Agents shall be held as banker rather than as trustee, and therefore will not be held in accordance with the client money rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority or any successor regulatory body.

Section 7.2. Certain Rights of Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Exchange Agent and Registrar

Subject to Section 7.1:

(a) The Trustee and each of the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent, the Exchange Agents and the Registrar (together, excluding the Trustee, the “Agents”) may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, security or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person whether or not such document is addressed to it. The Trustee and each of the Agents need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document, but the Trustee and each of the Agents may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or any Agent shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, following reasonable notice, to make reasonable examination of the books, records and premises of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b) Before the Trustee or any of the Agents acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Section 11.2. Neither the Trustee nor any of the Agents shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. Subject to Section 7.1, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee and each of the Agents may act through its attorneys, agents, custodians and nominees not regularly in its employ and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney, custodian and nominee appointed with due care; provided that the Trustee shall be required to terminate any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee if it has actual knowledge of any failure by such Person to perform its delegated duties.

(d) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer or the Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed), and any board resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or direction.

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.5 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

(g) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(h) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, board resolution, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes affected then outstanding.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k) In no event shall the Trustee or any of the Agents be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) as a result of claims brought by any Holder irrespective of whether the Trustee or any of the Agents has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(m) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 7.4. Disclaimer

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as statements of the Issuer or the Guarantor and not of the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantee, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall be accountable for the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes or for moneys paid over to the Issuer or the Guarantor pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults

If any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing and if such Default is known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Notes, at the expense of the Issuer, notice of such Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the mailing; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal, Exchange Property or other amount with respect to the Note, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders; and provided further that in the case of any default or breach of the character specified in Section 6.1(d) with respect to Notes, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof.

Section 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity

(a) The Issuer, or failing which, the Guarantor, shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time for its services. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer, or failing which, the Guarantor, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (including the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

(b) The Issuer, or failing which, the Guarantor, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including taxes (other than income taxes), incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the Notes or the trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim asserted by any person or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.6.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the rejection or termination of this Indenture under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes, and the Notes are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. If the Trustee renders services and incurs expenses following an Event of Default under Section 6.1(g) hereof, the parties hereto and the Holders by their acceptance of the Notes hereby agree that such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law

Section 7.7. Replacement of Trustee

(b) The Trustee may resign as Trustee at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantor in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee as Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto with the consent of the Issuer. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.9 of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee with respect to the Notes, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Notes for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee in respect of such Notes to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.7(d) within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect thereto.

(d) A successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Issuer and to the Guarantor. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6 and subject to the payment of any and all amounts then due and owing to the retiring Trustee, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee in respect of the Notes to the successor Trustee (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee in respect of the Notes shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee in respect of the Notes under this Indenture.

(f) The Issuer shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee with respect to the Notes and each appointment of a successor Trustee in respect of the Notes to all Holders of Notes. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.8. Successor Trustee by Merger

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein; provided that such successor Trustee shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

Section 7.9. Eligibility; Disqualification

The Trustee shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has, together with parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 7.10. Communications

In no event shall the Agents or the Trustee be liable for any Losses arising in regards to receiving or transmitting any data from any Issuer, any Authorized Person or any party to the transaction via any non-secure method of transmission or communication, such as, but without limitation, by facsimile or email. The Issuer accepts that some methods of communication are not secure and the Agents shall incur no liability for receiving instructions via any such non-secure method. The Agents are authorized to comply with and rely upon any such notice, instructions or other communications reasonably believed by it to have been sent or given by an Authorized Person or an appropriate party to the transaction (or authorized representative thereof). The Issuer or Authorized Person should use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that instructions transmitted to the Agents or the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct. Any instructions shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Issuer or Authorized Person to the Agents or the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture.

Section 7.11. Resignation of Agents

(a) Any Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without the need to give any reason and without being responsible for any costs associated therewith by giving to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee and (except in the case of resignation of the Principal Paying Agent) the Principal Paying Agent 30 days’ written notice to that effect (waivable by the Issuer and the Trustee); provided that in the case of resignation of the Principal Paying Agent no such resignation shall take effect until a new Principal Paying Agent (approved in advance in writing by the Trustee) shall have been appointed by the Issuer to exercise the powers and undertake the duties hereby conferred and imposed upon the Principal Paying Agent. Following receipt of a notice of resignation from any Agent, the Issuer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Holders in accordance with Section 11.1. Such notice shall expire at least 30 days before or after any due date for payment in respect of the Notes.

(b) If any Agent gives notice of its resignation in accordance with this Section 7.11 and a replacement Agent is required and by the 10th day before the expiration of such notice such replacement has not been duly appointed, such Agent may itself appoint as its replacement any reputable and experienced financial institution. Immediately following such appointment, the Issuer shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the Holders, whereupon the Issuer, the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the replacement Agent shall acquire and become subject to the same rights and obligations among themselves as if they had entered into an agreement in the form mutatis mutandis of this Indenture.

(c) Upon its resignation becoming effective the Principal Paying Agent shall forthwith transfer all moneys held by it hereunder to the successor Principal Paying Agent or, if none, the Trustee or to the Trustee’s order, but shall have no other duties or responsibilities hereunder, and shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its remuneration for the services previously rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VIII.

EXCHANGE RIGHT

Section 8.1. Exchange Right

(a) Subject as hereinafter provided, each Holder shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”), subject to any applicable laws and regulations and in the manner described below, to have all or any of its Notes redeemed in exchange (the “exchange”) for a pro rata share of the Exchange Property. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon exercise of an Exchange Right, the Issuer shall deliver, on the Settlement Date, a pro rata share of the Exchange Property, to be determined as of the relevant Exercise Date (but subsequently adjusted in respect of any adjustments to the Exchange Property occurring thereafter but prior to the Settlement Date), to such Holder in exchange for the relevant Note. Exchange Rights may only be exercised in respect of an authorized denomination of a Note and may not be exercised in an amount that would result in ownership of an amount of Notes that is not an authorized denomination. Upon exchange, the right of the exchanging Holder to repayment of the Notes to be exchanged shall be extinguished and released, and in consideration and in exchange therefor the Issuer shall deliver or procure the delivery of the relevant pro rata share of the Exchange Property as provided below or the applicable Cash Settlement Amount, each as described below.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon the exercise of any Exchange Right, the Issuer may elect to deliver to the relevant Holder no later than the Settlement Date an amount equal to the relevant Cash Settlement Amount on the Settlement Date in satisfaction of the Exchange Right in respect of any Note delivered for exchange (the “Cash Settlement Option”). In order to exercise its Cash Settlement Option, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than the second Business Day following the relevant Exercise Date (the “Cash Option Exercise Date”), the Issuer shall deliver to the relevant Holder by notification through the Depositary for communication to its participants, or by hand or by courier (at the address specified by the relevant Holder in the Exchange Notice) in the case of Certificated Notes, the Cash Settlement Notice. Any Cash Settlement Notice shall be irrevocable, and in the absence of any such notice, the Issuer shall be deemed not to have exercised the Cash Settlement Option. The Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid to the relevant Holder in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by the Holder in the Exchange Notice.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, upon exercise of an Exchange Right, the Issuer shall deliver, on the Settlement Date, a pro rata share of the Exchange Property (including, if applicable, payment of an amount in cash equal to the total Cash Settlement Amount of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property or part thereof), to be determined as of the relevant Exercise Date (but subsequently adjusted in line with adjustments to the Exchange Property occurring thereafter but prior to the Settlement Date), to such Holder in exchange for the relevant Note. The Issuer will apply the Notes to be exchanged in consideration of the transfer of Exchange Property by redeeming the Notes and applying the cash on the Holder’s behalf to the Issuer as consideration for delivery of such pro rata share of the Exchange Property to the relevant Holder.

(d) Upon actual delivery of Exchange Property (and/or, if applicable, payment of an amount in cash equal to the total Cash Settlement Amount of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property or part thereof) by the Issuer to the relevant Holder following exercise of Exchange Rights, or upon any purchase and cancellation of any Notes or upon termination of the Exchange Rights, the pro rata share of the Exchange Property or the relevant part thereof attributable to each relevant Note shall cease to be part of the Exchange Property, and the Exchange Property shall be deemed to be reduced accordingly.

(e) Exchange Rights may be exercised only in respect of denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof in principal amounts of Notes.

(f) If the Issuer determines that, notwithstanding this Article VIII, an adjustment should be made to the Exchange Rights (including, but not limited to, the Exchange Property) as a result of one or more events or circumstances which might have an adverse effect on the Holders’ Exchange Rights in relation to any Exchange Property and no adjustment to the Exchange Rights under this Article VIII would arise, such adjustment (if any) to the Exchange Rights as is fair and reasonable to take account of such event and the date on which such adjustment should take effect shall be Independently Determined as soon as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall have any responsibility to make any determination as to whether or not any event has occurred which might require an adjustment to the Exchange Rights.

(g) In the event of an Offer or certain proposals for a Merger in relation to any issuer of Relevant Securities, with respect to all Notes for which (i) both (a) the Exchange Right has been exercised and (b) the Issuer has elected to exercise its Cash Settlement Option and (ii) the Calculation Period is occurring on the day which such Offer is publicly made or such Merger publicly announced, the Settlement Date shall be delayed until the expiration of the earlier to expire of (i) the period commencing on the date which is the fifth Business Day prior to the Specified Date (without taking into account any extension of the relevant Offer unless such extension is announced prior to such fifth Business Day) and ending on the fifth Business Day following the date that acceptance of the relevant Offer is withdrawn or the relevant Offer lapses or the Unconditional Date, and (ii) the period commencing on the date on which a resolution is passed by the required majority of shareholders of the issuer of any Relevant Securities eligible to vote upon such resolution in respect of any applicable Merger and ending on the fifth Business Day following the date that the same is rejected by the relevant judicial or other authorities or the Merger becomes effective (as the case may be). The Issuer shall have absolute discretion to vote on or to accept or reject such Offer or arrangement.

Section 8.2. Exchange Period

The Exchange Right in respect of any Note shall be exercisable on any Business Day on or after September 1, 2020, subject to applicable laws and regulations, and unless previously exchanged or purchased and cancelled, up to the close of business on the Final Exchange Date (such period, the “Exchange Period”). The Final Exchange Date will be the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date.

Section 8.3. Exchange Notice and Exercise Date

(a) To exercise the Exchange Right in respect of any Note, whether such exercise relates to Certificated Noted or a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Holder or beneficial owner thereof (or its Agent Member) shall deliver a notice in the then-current form obtainable from the specified office of the Exchange Agent (an “Exchange Notice”) with an appropriate medallion signature guarantee and, if required pay all transfer and similar taxes or duties, if any. An owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be required to comply with the procedures of the Depositary for exchanging a beneficial interest in a global note.

(b) To exercise the Exchange Right in respect of any Certificated Note, the holder thereof shall deliver a notice of exchange substantially in the form of Exhibit D, as may be updated from time to time (an “Exchange Notice”) obtainable from the specified office of any Exchange Agent and, if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents to pay all transfer and similar taxes. If a Holder holds a beneficial interest in a global note, the Exchange Notice shall be duly completed by or on behalf of the participant in the Depositary and any Holder shall comply with the procedures of the Depositary for exchanging a beneficial interest in a global note and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any. Deposit of a Global Note with the issuer or the Exchange Agent shall not be required (although the portion of the Global Note corresponding to the applicable beneficial interest must be validly submitted for cancellation). An Exchange Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn without the consent in writing of the Issuer. The Issuer, or the Exchange Agent on its behalf, may reject any incomplete or incorrect Exchange Notice. All costs and expenses incurred or caused by an incomplete or incorrect Exchange Notice shall be paid by the relevant Holder. If a Holder has already delivered a purchase notice as described under Section 5.1 with respect to a Note, it may not surrender that Note for exchange until such notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture. In order to exchange its Notes, each Holder must comply with the procedures set forth in the Exchange Notice (including the instructions thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the provisions incorporated herein from the Exchange Notice, the Issuer is permitted at its election to deliver Exchange Property through a clearing system should it, in its sole judgment, determine that delivery through such clearing system is practicable at the relevant time, including if the Shares have ceased to be restricted securities by the time of such delivery.

(c) The Exchange Agent shall, immediately upon receipt, forward a copy of the Exchange Notice to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor.

(d) The exercise date in respect of a Note for which the Exchange Right shall have been exercised (the “Exercise Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has completed all required steps for the exchange of its Notes including that (i) the relevant Exchange Notice has been received and (ii) the relevant Notes (other than a Global Note) have been surrendered for exchange (or, in the case of a Global Note, the relevant Notes have been electronically surrendered in accordance with provisions relating to exchange set forth in this Indenture, including Exhibit D hereto).

Section 8.4. Delivery of Shares and Exchange Property

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, the Issuer shall use all reasonable efforts to procure the transfer or delivery of the Shares or other Relevant Securities constituting Exchange Property, if any, and/or such other evidence of title to any other Exchange Property to which any Holder shall become entitled as a consequence of exercising Exchange Rights, to an exchanging Holder or its nominee as specified in the relevant Exchange Notice, in each case at the risk of the relevant Holder, on the Settlement Date and in accordance with the relevant Exchange Notice. Where Exchange Rights are exercised in respect of only some of the Notes represented by a Global Note, the principal amount of such Notes shall be noted on the relevant schedule to such Global Note and, on the Settlement Date the principal amount of such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3(a) and (b), if the Exchange Property has changed in whole or in part as a result of an Offer or Merger for or in respect of any Relevant Securities or as a result of the compulsory acquisition of any Relevant Securities, then the Settlement Date (if it would otherwise fall prior to the date which is five days following the Final Date) shall be postponed to such fifth day.

(c) With respect to any exercise of the Exchange Right as to which the Issuer has not exercised the Cash Settlement Option with respect to the entire pro rata share of the Exchange Property, the Issuer shall, unless prohibited by law, transfer or deliver the Property Settlement Portion to which any Holder shall become entitled as a consequence of exercising Exchange Rights, to an exchanging Holder or its nominee as specified in the relevant Exchange Notice, on the Settlement Date and in accordance with the relevant Exchange Notice. Where Exchange Rights are exercised in respect of only some of the Notes represented by a Global Note, the principal amount of Notes so exchanged shall be noted on the relevant schedule to such Global Note and, on the relevant Settlement Date, the principal amount of such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly.

(d) Exchange Property shall not be available for delivery in violation of any applicable securities law or regulation of the United States or any state thereof or any other jurisdiction into which such delivery would be unlawful.

(e) If, at any time during which the transfer or delivery of any Exchange Property (other than cash pursuant to the Issuer’s exercise of its Cash Settlement Option) is required, the Issuer reasonably determines that such transfer or delivery may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction or contrary to any official declaration, order, directive or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem in cash each applicable Note in respect of which Exchange Rights have been exercised and will procure an amount of cash equal to the aggregate of the Cash Settlement Amount of the Note (and the reference to Cash Option Exercise Date in the definition of “Cash Settlement Amount” shall be deemed, for these purposes, to be a reference to the later of the Exercise Date and the date on which the Issuer and the Guarantor first become aware that the provisions of this paragraph will apply to such Notes) plus amounts otherwise payable to the exchanging Holder under Section 8.5 hereof, if any. In the event of any such election, the Issuer will ensure that such redemption monies are paid to the relevant Holder as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event, not later than the fifth Business Day after the end of the Calculation Period or the date the Cash Settlement Amount is Independently Determined, as the case may be, and otherwise in accordance with this Indenture.

(f) The exercise of Exchange Rights through participants in the Depositary shall be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Section 8.5. Dividends and Other Payments on Exchange Property

(a) Except as set forth herein, Exchange Property delivered or transferred on exercise of Exchange Rights shall not include any dividends or income thereon or other distributions or rights in respect thereof that are declared, paid or made (1) by reference to a record date prior to the relevant Settlement Date or (2) in the case of the Shares or other listed Relevant Securities, by reference to a record date where the Settlement Date falls after the date on which the Shares or such other listed Relevant Securities trade “ex-rights” in relation thereto.

(b) All Exchange Property transferred to Holders (or their nominees) shall be transferred with full right, title and interest therein, free from any Security Interest.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, until such time that the Exchange Property is transferred to the Holders upon exercise of Exchange Rights, whether or not the Exchange Property is delivered to the Holders on the Settlement Date, and such delivery or transfer is reflected in Theravance’s records, Holders will not be treated as, or have any rights as, shareholders of Theravance, including but not limited to having voting rights or rights to receive dividends or distributions from Theravance. Theravance will not have any obligation to the Holders in their capacity as Holders other than in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 8.6. Fractions Arising on Exchange

No fraction of a Share or any other Relevant Security or any other property comprised in the Exchange Property that is not divisible shall be delivered to any Holder on exercise of Exchange Rights. If a fraction would otherwise be delivered to a Holder on exercise of Exchange Rights, the Issuer shall make a cash payment to such Holder in respect of such part of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property to which such Holder is entitled as is represented by a fractional entitlement. The amount of cash to be delivered shall be the Current Market Value of any such fraction on the Exercise Date. If the cash payment otherwise to be made by the Issuer to any Holder would amount to less than $10.00, then the Issuer shall be under no obligation to make any such payment to such Holder.

If more than one Note shall be redeemed pursuant to any one Exchange Notice, the existence of fractions of Shares or other Relevant Securities and the amount of any cash payment to be made in respect of fractions shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be so redeemed.

Section 8.7. Initial Exchange Property

(a) The Exchange Property initially consists of 9,644,792 Shares. On exercise of Exchange Rights and absent exercise of the Cash Settlement Option, Holders shall be entitled to have their Notes redeemed by means of the delivery or transfer by the Issuer of a pro rata share of the Exchange Property as of the Exercise Date to the relevant Holder, which pro rata share shall initially entitle a Holder to receive 29.0660 Shares in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes delivered for exchange.

(b) Except in the circumstances set forth herein, non-cash dividends and other income and other benefits and rights derived from the Exchange Property prior to the acquisition of the Exchange Property on the Settlement Date pursuant to an exercise of Exchange Rights shall not comprise part of the Exchange Property and shall belong to the record holders thereof and shall not be available for exchange. The Issuer shall, and the Holders and the Trustee and any Agent hereunder shall not, prior to the delivery or transfer of such Exchange Property into the relevant former Holder’s name (or as it may direct), be entitled to exercise the voting rights with respect to the Relevant Securities on any matters submitted to the holders of any Relevant Securities.

In exercising its voting rights with respect to the Shares or any other Relevant Securities as stated in the preceding paragraph, the record holder shall at all times be entitled to act as it thinks fit, including, in a manner which is contrary to the best interests of the Holders.

Section 8.8. Split, Subdivision, Consolidation and Redenomination

If the Relevant Securities shall be split, subdivided or consolidated or in any other manner have their par value changed (“Split, Subdivision, Consolidation or Redenomination”), then the securities resulting from such Split, Subdivision, Consolidation or Redenomination, insofar as they are attributable to the Exchange Property, shall be deemed to be included in the Exchange Property. The terms “Shares” and “Relevant Securities” as used herein shall, after a Split, Subdivision, Consolidation or Redenomination thereof, refers to such securities resulting from such Split, Subdivision, Consolidation or Redenomination.

Section 8.9. Cash; Rights Issues

If any Cash Distribution that constitutes Distributable Cash occurs, the applicable cash shall not become part of the Exchange Property and instead the Issuer shall pay an amount equal to the cash received (net of any reasonable expenses and of any stamp, transfer, registration or similar taxes or duties) to the Holders of record on the record date with respect to such Cash Distribution on the fifth Business Day after such Distributable Cash has been received by the Issuer. Any such amount paid to the Holders shall be credited against the principal otherwise payable at maturity if the Notes are not exchanged (and the amount payable at maturity in respect of the principal shall be reduced thereby).

If any Cash Distribution that does not constitute Distributable Cash occurs, the cash comprising such Cash Distribution shall thereafter be deemed to constitute part of the Exchange Property. Upon any distribution of the Exchange Property by the Issuer to a Holder that exercises its Exchange Right, such cash portion of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property shall distributed along with the pro rata share of the other Exchange Property on the Settlement Date.

If a Rights Issue occurs, the Issuer shall in good faith attempt to determine the portion of such options, rights or warrants to be sold and the portion thereof to be exercised to purchase the Shares or other Relevant Securities with the intent of acquiring as great a number of Shares or other Relevant Securities as is possible with the proceeds of such sale. The Issuer will then sell the rights on an exchange for cash, if such rights are traded on an exchange or use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the rights in non-exchange transactions if such rights are not traded on an exchange. The cash proceeds of such sale (net of any reasonable expenses and of any stamp, transfer, registration or similar taxes or duties) shall be used to subscribe for or purchase additional Shares or other Relevant Securities. No fractional Shares or other Relevant Securities shall be purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall have no obligation to use any other funds to exercise any such options, rights or warrants. If the Issuer is unable to sell such options, rights or warrants as described above using commercially reasonable efforts, the Issuer shall permit any them to lapse. Any remaining cash received from the Issuer’s sale of any such options, rights or warrants following such subscription or purchase shall be deemed to be part of the Exchange Property.

Pending the foregoing, such options, rights or warrants shall be deemed to form part of the Exchange Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any other cash is received by the Issuer, such cash will be deemed to be included in the Exchange Property and Holders shall be entitled to receive the pro rata share of such cash upon exchange.

Section 8.10. Capital Distributions, Offers, Mergers and Related Events

(a) If any of the following events occurs (each, a “Relevant Asset Event”):

(i) any Capital Distribution;

(ii) securities are received as consideration in any Offer; or

(iii) further Shares or other securities or assets are issued or transferred to the holders of Relevant Securities pursuant to any Merger with respect to any company or companies (and in particular, but not limited to, any Merger between Theravance and any other company or companies);

then such number of additional Shares, other securities or other assets as are received in relation to the Relevant Asset Event, so far as attributable to the Exchange Property, shall be deemed to be included as part of the Exchange Property.

(b) If cash is paid to the holders of Shares or Relevant Securities including the Issuer as consideration in any Offer or pursuant to any Merger with respect to any company or companies (and in particular, but not limited to, any Merger between Theravance and any other company or companies), then such cash shall be deemed to constitute part of the Exchange Property. Upon any distribution of the Exchange Property to a Holder that exercises its Exchange Right, such cash portion of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property shall be distributed along with the pro rata share of the Exchange Property on the Settlement Date.

(c) In relation to any Merger that results in a Fundamental Change, each record holder of the Relevant Securities shall at all times be entitled to vote on, exercise its rights in respect of, or otherwise participate in, any such Merger as it thinks fit, including, in a manner which is contrary to the best interests of the Holders.

Section 8.11. General Offers

In the event of an Offer for any Relevant Securities, the Issuer shall have absolute discretion to wholly or partially accept such Offer or reject such Offer.

Section 8.12. Notice of Change in Exchange Property

The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent with details of any change in composition of the Exchange Property as soon as reasonably practicable following such change, together with such details as the Trustee may reasonably require. The Trustee or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, shall notify all Holders of such change as soon as practicable in the manner specified in Section 11.1. In the event of a dispute as to whether, and the extent to which, any adjustment should be made to the composition of the Exchange Property, such dispute shall be Independently Determined.

Section 8.13. Subsequent Additions

If the Settlement Date with respect to any Note shall be on or after a date on which an addition to the Exchange Property takes effect and the relevant Settlement Date falls on a date when the relevant addition has not been received, the Issuer will procure that the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof shall be applied, mutatis mutandis, to such addition to the Exchange Property that would have been required to be delivered on exchange of such Note if the relevant addition had been received as of such Settlement Date and, in such event and in respect of such addition to the Exchange Property, references in Section 8.3 to the Settlement Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which such addition is received.

Section 8.14. Determinations

(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to calculate (i) the amount of Exchange Property to which a Holder is entitled upon exercise of its Exchange Right, (ii) the amount of cash constituting the Cash Settlement Amount and (iii) the Current Market Value, in each case, as applicable.

(b) The Issuer shall, in good faith, monitor all corporate actions by the issuers of Relevant Securities, including, but not limited to, the declaration and distribution of dividends, interest, rights issues, bonus shares, Capital Distributions, subdivisions, consolidations, redenominations, Offers and Mergers. With respect thereto and with respect to all other adjustments required to be made to the Exchange Property as well as the calculation amounts in the event of a redemption as described in Article V, the Issuer, as set forth in this Indenture, shall calculate the amount of Exchange Property to which a Holder is entitled upon exercise of its Exchange Right, and the amount of cash constituting the Cash Settlement Amount and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of any fractional shares. Any calculation or determination of the Issuer shall (in the absence of manifest error and subject to any dispute that is Independently Determined as provided under Section 8.16) be final and binding upon all parties.

(c) If the Issuer does not, at any time and for any reason, make any such calculation or determination set forth in this Section 8.14, the Issuer shall appoint an independent appraiser or independent investment bank at the Issuer’s expense to do so and such calculation or determination shall be deemed to have been made by the Issuer.

(d) The Issuer and the Guarantor hereby agree that for so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding they will notify the Trustee of any relevant public information they receive from Theravance or otherwise become aware of regarding corporate actions by the issuers of Relevant Securities, including, but not limited to, the declaration and distribution of dividends, interest, Rights Issues, bonus issues, Capital Distributions, subdivisions, consolidations, redenominations, and Offers and Mergers.

Section 8.15. Certificates to be Final

Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, all certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Indenture, whether by the Issuer or the Trustee, shall (in the absence of willful misconduct or fraud) be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agents, the Exchange Agents, and all Holders, and no liability to the Issuer, the Guarantor and/or the Holders shall attach to the Exchange Agent or the Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise of its powers, duties and discretion pursuant to such provisions.

Section 8.16. Independent Determination

The Trustee and Exchange Agents shall have the authority with respect to any determination or calculation to be made in accordance with this Article VIII to rely upon, without any liability for doing so, any determination or calculation Independently Determined.

Section 8.17. Compensation in a Theravance Change in Control

If (i) an Offer constituting a Theravance Change in Control is made for Shares or other Relevant Securities in the Exchange Property and the Issuer has accepted such Offer in exchange for consideration comprised partly or wholly of cash or other property other than ordinary shares traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or (ii) a Merger constituting a Theravance Change in Control is completed and the Shares or other Relevant Securities in the Exchange Property are replaced by consideration comprised partly or wholly of cash or property other than ordinary shares traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, then Holders exercising their Exchange Rights after the Issuer has received the Offer Consideration relating to such Offer shall be entitled to receive on any exchange of their Notes, in addition to the relevant pro rata share of the Exchange Property or Cash Settlement Amount, as applicable, an amount (the “Compensation Amount”) in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for exchange, determined in accordance with the following formula:

CA = K² * ((Principal * OIP) – IP) * (T/C) * (CB/(CB+CS)) * OP

Where:

CA	=	Compensation Amount per Note ($1,000 denomination)
K	=	the lesser of (a) IP/MP and (b) MP/IP
Principal	=	$1,000
IP	=	$740.74
CB	=	the Offered Cash Amount
CS	=	the Offered Property Value
MP	=	the Current Market Value of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property in respect of a Note with a principal amount of $1,000 on the Specified Date
C	=	1,095, being the number of days from (but excluding) the Issue Date to (and including) the Maturity Date
T	=	the number of days from (but excluding) the Specified Date to (and including) the Maturity Date (which shall be zero if the Specified Date occurs after the Maturity Date)
OP	=	the Offer Proportion
OIP		108.50%, the original issue price of the Notes expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof

“Offered Cash Amount” means, in respect of any Offer, the cash amount comprising the whole or part of the Offer Consideration received by the Issuer for one Share or one other Relevant Security, as the case may be, in the Offer (other than cash paid in respect of fractional entitlements to such Offered Property), provided that if the Offered Property comprises securities or property other than equity securities, such securities or property will be deemed, for the purpose of this definition, to form part of the Offered Cash Amount in an amount equal to their fair market value, as Independently Determined, at the close of business on the Unconditional Date.

“Offer Consideration” means, in respect of any Offer, the consideration received by the Issuer in respect of the Shares or other Relevant Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to such Offer.

“Offer Proportion” means, in respect of any Offer, the portion of the Exchange Property as to which the Issuer has accepted the Offer and received Offer Consideration.

“Offered Property” means, in respect of any Offer, the number of shares or other securities (including fractions) or property comprised in the Offer Consideration relating to such Offer for one Share or one other Relevant Security, as the case may be, received by the Issuer.

“Offered Property Value” means, in respect of any Offer, the Independently Determined fair market value of the Offered Property relating to such Offer received by the Issuer at the close of business on the Unconditional Date. In the case of an Offer where the Offer Consideration received by the Issuer is entirely the Offered Cash Amount, the Offered Property Value shall be zero.

Section 8.18. Notice of Change in Exchange Property

The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent containing details of any change in composition of the Exchange Property as soon as reasonably practicable following such change. The Trustee (or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be) shall notify all Holders of such change as soon as practicable as set forth in Section 11.1. In the event of a dispute between the Issuer and a Holder as to whether, and the extent to which, any adjustment should be made to the composition of the Exchange Property, such dispute shall be Independently Determined.

Section 8.19. Release from the Exchange Property

Upon actual delivery of the Exchange Property (and/or, if applicable, the Cash Settlement Portion) by the Issuer to the relevant Holder following exercise of Exchange Rights on the Settlement Date or upon any purchase and cancellation of any Notes or upon termination of the Exchange Rights, the pro rata share of the Exchange Property or the relevant part thereof attributable to each relevant Note shall cease to be part of the Exchange Property and the Exchange Property shall be deemed to be reduced accordingly.

Section 8.20. Other Events

If the Issuer determines (with the prior written approval of the Guarantor and Holders who hold a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes) that, notwithstanding this section, an adjustment should be made to the Exchange Rights (including, but not limited to, the Exchange Property) as a result of one or more events or circumstances which might have an adverse effect on the Holders’ Exchange Rights in relation to any Exchange Property and no adjustment to the Exchange Rights under this section would otherwise arise, such adjustment (if any) to the Exchange Rights as is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and the date on which such adjustment should take effect shall be Independently Determined as soon as practicable and at the Issuer’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall have responsibility to make any determination as to whether or not any event has occurred which might require an adjustment to the Exchange Rights.

Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note will execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee will authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it.

INSTRUCTIONS

IN ORDER TO VALIDLY EXCHANGE NOTES, ALL STEPS DESCRIBED BELOW, INCLUDING SUBMISSION OF NOTES FOR CANCELLATION, MUST BE FULLY COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING EXCHANGES.

1. This Exchange Notice will be void unless the introductory details and all sections are duly completed and complied with.

2. Your attention is drawn to Article VIII of the Indenture with respect to the conditions relating to exchange.

3. For Global Notes, this Exchange Notice is to be completed by or on behalf of a participant of DTC or any clearing system in which the relevant Note is held at such time which has an interest in such Note, with the signature hereto corresponding with the name shown on the security position listing. For Notes in certificated form, if signature is by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, officer or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, please set forth full title.

4. Terms used in the Exchange Notice and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture, dated June 22, 2020 among the Issuer, the Guarantor, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.

5. Holders should note that these instructions relate to procedures pursuant to which the Notes may be exchanged and do not include procedures for any resale of Shares thereafter. In order to resell Shares received upon exchange of the Notes on a registered basis under the related Registration Rights Agreement, holders must comply with the procedures under that agreement (including related procedures for transferring Shares), which are separate from the procedures for exchange of Notes that are set out in this Exchange Notice.

6. To validly submit Notes for Exchange, the following steps must ALL be fully completed prior to the applicable deadline for electing to exchange:

●

This Exchange Notice must be submitted, fully completed and with a valid and appropriate medallion signature guarantee by

provision of a copy of the fully completed, signed notice to each of the following addresses by email: xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx and xx.xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.

●

The Notes to which this Exchange Notice relates must be submitted for cancellation. In the case of beneficial interest in Global Notes, this is to be accomplished through entry of a one-sided DWAC entered by the applicable participant at DTC. In the case of Notes in certificated form, this is to be accomplished through delivery of the relevant certificate together with the Exchange Notice pursuant to the instruction in the preceding bullet.

D-6

●

A tax form compliant with Instruction 6 must be delivered together with the Exchange Notice pursuant to the instruction in the first bullet and the holder must pay required stamp or transfer taxes, if any.

The deadline for electing to exchange (and completing the steps described in this Instruction 5) will be the fifth Business Day before the Maturity Date (or, if the Notes are called for redemption, the fifth Business Day before the Redemption Date). At the date of the Offering Memorandum to which this form is attached the fifth Business Day before the Maturity Date is expected to be June 15, 2023.

It is anticipated that all exchanges for which the steps described in this Instruction 6 are completed on or after March 22, 2023 and by the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date will be settled by delivery of Exchange Property (and/or, if applicable, cash) on the same date (which is anticipated to be the Maturity Date). If the Notes are called for redemption, it is anticipated that all exchanges for which the steps described in this Instruction 6 are completed on or after March 22, 2023 and by the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date will be settled by delivery of Exchange Property (and/or, if applicable, cash) on the same date (which is anticipated to be the Redemption Date).

7. Tax Identification Number. The exchange of Notes may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, currently at a rate of twenty-four percent (24%). Certain holders may be exempt from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. To avoid backup withholding, U.S. persons that do not otherwise establish an exemption should complete and return an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 to the Exchange Agent or applicable withholding agent, certifying that the holder is a U.S. person, that the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) provided is correct, and that the holder is not subject to backup withholding (IRS Form W-9 is available on the IRS website at xxx.xxx.xxx). If you provide an incorrect TIN, you may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

Failure to provide the information on the Form W-9 may subject the holder to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS and federal income tax backup withholding on any payment. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability or may claim a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing a claim for refund with the IRS.

Non-U.S. persons are required to complete and submit to the Exchange Agent or applicable withholding agent an IRS Form W-8BEN (for individuals) or W-8BEN-E (for entities) or other applicable IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to the holder’s foreign status in order to avoid the application of such information reporting and backup withholding. These forms and their instructions may be obtained at the IRS website at xxx.xxx.xxx.

NEW HOLDER/RECIPIENT INFORMATION

9	Account Type – Xxxx only one box with an “X” indicating the type of account into which you are transferring shares. Complete additional sections as indicated.

Definitions of Account Types:

●	An individual registration, e.g. Xxxx X. Xxxxx, is used if there is only one account holder. There is only one individual listed on the account.
●	A joint tenant registration with right of survivorship, e.g. Xxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxx XX TEN, is used if there are two or more equal holders listed on the account. Please note, the registration must read “and.” The word “or” cannot appear in the registration. In the event of the death of one of the listed holders, the securities in the account become the property of the surviving joint holder.
●	A trust registration, e.g. Xxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxx TR UA 4-3-66 Xxxxx Family Trust, is used to allow the appointed trustees to handle the securities. All acting trustees are listed on the account, which also names the legal name and date of the trust agreement. To register shares under a trust, a legal trust agreement must exist.

●	A custodial with minor registration is only valid for a US citizen under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA) of the state of the donor, the state of the custodian or the state of the minor, e.g. Xxxx Xxx Custodian for Xxxxxxxx Xxx UTMA NY, is used if the securities are held by a custodian on behalf of a minor. The named custodian is given the legal authority to act on the account on behalf of the minor, until the minor reaches the age of majority under the applicable state’s law. The Social Security number associated with the account is that of the minor. A US citizen living abroad needs to indicate the applicable state.
●	An estate registration, e.g. Xxxx Xxxxx Executor for the Xxxx Xxx Estate, is used to allow a court-appointed legal representative to act on the account. The account is registered in the decedent’s estate.

Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2023	00000XXX0

The Issuer, the Guarantor and Barclays Capital Inc. are putting Participants on notice that they are required to follow these purchase and transfer restrictions with regard to the above referenced security.

In order to qualify for the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the exemption provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), offers, sales and resales of the $280,336,000 Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) may only be made in minimum denominations of U.S.$250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof to “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) within the meaning of Rule 144A that are also “qualified purchasers” (“QPs”) within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act. Each purchaser of Notes (1) represents to and agrees with the Issuer, the Guarantor and Barclays Capital Inc. that (i) less than 40% of the assets of such purchaser (and each person for whom it is acting) consist of investments in the Issuer; (ii) the purchaser is a QIB who is a QP (a “QIB/QP”); (iii) the purchaser is not a broker-dealer which owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than U.S.$25 million in securities of unaffiliated issuers; (iv) the purchaser is not a participant-directed employee plan, such as a 401(k) plan; (v) the QIB/QP is acting for its own account, or the account of another QIB/QP; (vi) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (vii) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the minimum denomination of Notes; (viii) the purchaser is not a partnership, common trust fund, special trust pension fund or retirement plan or other entity in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocations thereof, (ix) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in its securities from one or more book-entry depositaries; and (x) the purchaser will provide notice of the transfer restrictions to any subsequent transferees and (2) acknowledges that the Issuer has not been registered under the Investment Company Act and the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and represents to and agrees with the Issuer, the Guarantor and Barclays Capital Inc. that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, it will not offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except to a QIB that is also a QP in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Each purchaser further understands that these Notes will bear a legend with respect to such transfer restrictions. See “Notice to Investors and Transfer Restrictions” in the GSK Finance (No. 3) plc Offering Memorandum.

The securities issuance documents of the Issuer provide that in the event of a transfer of the Notes (or beneficial interests therein) to a person that is not both a QIB and a QP, the Issuer may, in its discretion, either (A) compel such transferee to sell the Notes or its interest therein to a person who is both a QIB and a QP and who is otherwise qualified to purchase the Notes in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act or (B) on behalf of such transferee (and such transferee by accepting delivery of the Notes or a beneficial interest therein irrevocably grants to the Issuer and the Issuer’s agents full power and authority to, on behalf of such transferee), sell the Notes or such transferee’s interest therein to a person designated by or acceptable to the Issuer at a price equal to the least of (1) the purchase price therefor paid by the original transferee, (2) 100 percent. of the principal amount thereof and (3) the fair market value thereof. In addition, the Issuer has the right to refuse to honor a transfer of Notes or interest therein to a person who is not both a QIB and a QP.

The restrictions on transfer required by the Issuer (outlined above) will be reflected under the notation “3c7” in DTC’s User Manuals and DTC’s Reference Directory.

Any questions or comments regarding this subject may be directed to Barclays Capital Inc. at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.
