The aggregate principal amount of the Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar or the Paying Agent, at the direction of the Trustee, as hereinafter provided; provided, that, except as permitted by Section 2.13, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities exceed €500,000,000.

Securities in the form of Physical Securities issued in exchange for Securities represented by interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A and, if applicable, bearing any legends required hereby.

The Securities shall be denominated in euros, and all cash payments due thereon shall be made in euros. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.02. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION OF SECURITIES.

Upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate the Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000 (the “Original Securities”).

Section 2.03. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the office of the Paying Agent, respectively, shall initially serve as the offices or agencies for the aforementioned purposes. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-Registrars, one or more additional paying agents upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, respectively, and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf. The term “Registrar” includes any co-Registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Securities Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and the Paying Agent as Paying Agent.

For purposes of the Securities, the payment office shall be the office of the Paying Agent located at 000 Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx.

Section 2.04. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section 2.05. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

The Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, in accordance with this Indenture, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part.

No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.11 or Section 7.05 of the Base Indenture or Section 4.01(b) or Article III, not involving any transfer.

Section 2.06. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section and the Base Indenture as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.13 of the Base Indenture, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Base Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.07. INTEREST PAYMENT AND RECORD DATES.

The Interest Payment Date for the Securities shall be April 4 of each calendar year, beginning with, and including, April 4, 2018. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date that falls on April 4 shall be the immediately preceding March 15.

Section 2.08. NO SINKING FUND.

There shall be no sinking fund with respect to the Securities.

Section 2.09. DEFAULTED INTEREST.

If and to the extent the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay in cash the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities and in this Section 2.09. The Company may pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent record date as provided in Section 3.05(c) of the Base Indenture.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal on the Securities at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Securities of that series to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) on the Securities of any series at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 2.10. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS AND COMMON CODES.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more CUSIP and ISIN numbers and common codes, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and ISIN numbers and common codes in notices of repurchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and ISIN numbers and common codes printed on the notice or on the Securities; provided further, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such CUSIP and ISIN numbers and common codes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers and common codes.

Section 2.11. GLOBAL SECURITIES.

The Securities shall initially be issued in the form of one of more Global Securities, and the provisions of the Base Indenture (including, but not limited to, Section 3.06 and Section 3.08) relating to Global Securities shall apply to the Securities.

Section 2.12. RANKING.

The indebtedness of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Security issued under this Indenture from time to time constitutes and will constitute a senior unsecured obligation of the Company, ranking pari passu in right of payment with each other and with all other existing and future senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Unless the context otherwise requires, the Securities shall be considered collectively to be a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including without limitation waivers, amendments, redemptions and Change of Control Offers.

Section 2.13. ADDITIONAL SECURITIES.

The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional securities (“Additional Securities”) having terms and conditions identical to those of the Securities, except that Additional Securities:

(i) may have a different issue date from the Securities;

(ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Securities; and

(iii) may have terms specified in the Additional Securities Board Resolution or Additional Securities Supplemental Indenture for such Additional Securities making appropriate adjustments to Article II and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Securities in order to conform to and ensure compliance with

the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any other agreement applicable to such Additional Securities, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Securities (other than such Additional Securities);

provided, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall cause such Additional Securities to constitute, as determined pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, a different class of securities than the Original Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Original Securities and any Additional Securities would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture.

Section 2.14. PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) In the event any withholding or deduction on payments in respect of the Securities for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge is required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, the Company will pay such additional amounts on the Securities as will result in receipt by each Holder of a Security that is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including on any additional amounts) as would have been received by such Holder had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Company will not be required, however, to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:

(i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (1) the existence of any present or former connection (other than a connection arising solely from the ownership of those Securities or the receipt of payments in respect of those Securities) between a Holder of a Security (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Security), or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, that Holder or beneficial owner (if that Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States, including that Holder or beneficial owner, or that fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present in the United States or having had a permanent establishment in the United States or (2) the presentation of a Security for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of the date on which that payment becomes due and payable and the date on which payment is duly provided for;

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise, personal property, wealth or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(iii) any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign tax exempt organization or a personal holding company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

(iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deducting from payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Securities;

(v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Security if that payment can be made without withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure of a beneficial owner or any Holder of Securities to comply with a request to satisfy certification,

information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of the beneficial owner or any Holder of the Securities (including, but not limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto, and including, without limitation, any documentation requirement under an applicable income tax treaty), provided such beneficial owner or Holder is legally able to so comply and compliance is a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by or on behalf of (1) a 10-percent shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations that may be promulgated thereunder) of the Company, (2) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Company within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or (3) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, to the extent such tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s status as described in clauses (1) through (3) of this paragraph (vii);

(viii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor version of such Sections that is substantively comparable) (“FATCA”), any regulations or other guidance thereunder, or any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith; or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA; or

(ix) any combination of items (i) through (viii) of this Section 2.14(b);

nor will the Company pay any additional amounts any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of such Securities, or a portion of such Securities, or that is a fiduciary or partnership or a limited liability company, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to that fiduciary or a member of that partnership or limited liability company or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of those additional amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of those Securities.

(c) The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities. Except as specifically provided under this Section 2.14, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

(d) As used under this Section 2.14 and under Section 3.04, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, and the term “U.S. Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable U.S. Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

(e) Any reference in the terms of the Securities to any amounts in respect of the Securities shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this provision.

Section 2.15. UNAVAILABILITY OF EUROS.

If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have previously adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate reported by Bloomberg as of the close of business on the

second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event that event that Bloomberg has not reported a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, or in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated that exchange rate, the rate as determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Securities or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent will have any responsibility for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations in connection with the foregoing.

Section 2.16. LISTING.

The Company intends to apply to list each series of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE. If such a listing is obtained, the Company has no obligation to maintain such listing, and the Company may delist the Securities at any time. The Company currently expects trading in the Securities on the NYSE to begin within 30 days after the initial issuance of the Securities. There is currently no public market for the Securities.

ARTICLE III OPTIONAL REDEMPTION; MANDATORY REDEMPTION

Section 3.01. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT.

If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (1) the redemption date, (2) the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (3) the redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount).

Section 3.02. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) The Securities are redeemable at the Company’s election, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. If the Company redeems the Securities prior to January 4, 2025 (three months prior to their maturity date), it will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed then outstanding; and

(2) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if such Securities matured on the First Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate for such Securities, plus 25 basis points;

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the Securities to be redeemed.

(b) If the Company redeems the Securities on or after January 4, 2025 (three months prior to their maturity date), it will pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

(c) If the optional redemption date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the person in whose name the security is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be made pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and the provisions of Article 9 of the Base Indenture.

Section 3.03. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

Section 3.04. REDEMPTION FOR TAX REASONS

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any political subdivision of or taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company will become, obligated to pay additional amounts as described under Section 2.14 with respect to any series of the Securities, then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the applicable series of Securities on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE IV COVENANTS

Section 4.01. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

In addition to those Covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall comply with the following covenants:

(a) Limitation on Liens.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, allow any Lien on any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ property or assets (which includes Capital Stock) securing Indebtedness, unless the Lien secures the Securities equally and ratably with, or prior to, any other Indebtedness secured by such Lien, so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured, other than Permitted Liens.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur Liens securing Indebtedness without equally and ratably securing the Securities if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Liens, the aggregate amount (without duplication) of the Indebtedness secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the property or assets (which includes Capital Stock) of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not exceed the Permitted Amount at the time of the incurrence of such Liens (it being understood that Liens securing SpectraSite ABS Facility shall be deemed to be incurred pursuant to this paragraph). For the avoidance of doubt, “incur” means to create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly liable, contingently or otherwise.

(b) Repurchase of the Securities Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter, of that Holder’s Securities, provided that any unpurchased portion of the Securities shall equal €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter, pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities up to but excluding the applicable date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, if the Company had not, prior to the Change of Control Triggering Event, sent a redemption notice for all the Securities in connection with an optional redemption permitted by Section 3.02 hereof, the Company shall mail or caused to be mailed a notice to each registered Holder briefly describing the transaction or transactions that constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase Securities on the date specified in such notice (the “Change

of Control Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to any Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.01(b), the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.01(b) by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each registered Holder of Securities so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (at the Company’s expense), or cause to be transferred by book entry, to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter. Any Security so accepted for payment shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date.

This Section 4.01(b) shall be applicable, except as described in this Section 4.01(b), regardless of whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.01(b) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

The Company may make a Change of Control Offer in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditional upon the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

1.375% Senior Notes due 2025

(the “Securities”)

1. Interest. American Tower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest, payable annually in arrears, on April 4 of each year, with the first payment to be made on April 4, 2018. Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, April 6, 2017, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, as the case may be; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Securities (or April 6, 2017 if no interest has been paid on the Securities), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

2. Maturity. The Securities will mature on April 4, 2025.

3. Method of Payment. Except as provided in the Indenture (as defined below), the Company shall pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are Holders of record of Securities at the close of business on the Regular Record Date set forth on the face of this Security next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal amount. The Company shall pay, in euros, all amounts due in cash with respect to the Securities, which amounts shall be paid (A) in the case this Security is a Global Security, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Common Depositary for the Securities or its nominee; and (B) in the case this Security is a Physical Security, by mailing a check to the address of the relevant Holder set forth in the Security Register for the Securities. The Company shall pay, in cash, interest on any overdue amount (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the Securities.

4. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch (the “Paying Agent”) shall act as Paying Agent, and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) shall act as Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar upon prior written notice to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, respectively. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

5. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an indenture dated as of May 23, 2013 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Supplemental Indenture No. 7 dated as of April 6, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (the Base Indenture, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as amended and in effect from time to time. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The Original Securities are limited to €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture (except for Securities issued in

A-4

substitution for destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Securities). Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue Additional Securities. All Securities, including any Additional Securities, shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Terms used herein without definition and that are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

6. Optional Redemption. The Securities are redeemable at the Company’s election, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. If the Company redeems the Securities prior to the First Par Call Date, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed then outstanding; and

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the Securities to be redeemed.

If the Company redeems the Securities on or after the First Par Call Date, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

If the Company selects a redemption date that is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the person in whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.

The Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. Securities called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.

For purposes of the foregoing, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation a German government bond (Bundesanleihe) whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the applicable Securities, or if an Independent Investment Banker selected by the Company in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by such Independent Investment Banker, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“First Par Call Date” means January 4, 2025.

“Reference Government Bond Dealer” means any of the primary European government securities dealers.

7. No Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Securities.

8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase.

9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 10 or Article 11 of the Base Indenture. Securities in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000, unless all of the Securities held by a Holder are to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 principal amount. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges. The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of such Security for all purposes.

12. Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets to, another Person (including pursuant to a statutory arrangement), whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, unless it complies with Article 8 of the Base Indenture.

13. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

14. Defaults and Remedies. The Events of Default relating to the Securities are defined in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Securities shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct

A-6

the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any of the Securities held by a non-consenting Holder. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

16. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

17. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent in accordance with the Indenture.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
