Section 2.02. Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth in Exhibit A, the terms and provisions of which shall constitute, and are hereby expressly incorporated in and made a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Custodian or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as any Officer executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect prepayments, purchases, cancellations, exchanges for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts. (a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for a partial month, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall pay interest:

(i) on any Certificated Notes (A) to Holders holding Certificated Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Note Register and (B) to Holders holding Certificated Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $1,000,000, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon application by such a Holder to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies the Note Registrar to the contrary in writing; and

(ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be sent to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been sent, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system and the Depositary, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed satisfactory to the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of at least one of its Officers.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be an Officer of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations or procedures as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, prepayment or exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar for any registration of transfer of Notes or exchange of Notes for other Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required by law or permitted pursuant to Section 14.02(d) or Section 14.02(e).

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof, such portion thereof surrendered for exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for prepayment (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for redemption in accordance with Article 16.

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

(a) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(b) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Certificated Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(b) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (together with any ADSs delivered upon exchange of the Notes and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(c), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(b) and Section 2.05(c), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 FOR RESALE OF THE ORDINARY SHARES OR THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES.

No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, exchanged, canceled, prepaid, purchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Certificated Notes therefor or any Certificated Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTE UPON THE EXCHANGE OF WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS DELIVERED OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO NICE LTD. OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF (INCLUDING THE COMPANY), OR

(B) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF NICE LTD. AND, IF APPLICABLE, THE COMPANY THAT COVERS THE RESALE OF THIS SECURITY AND THE ORDINARY SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY, OR

(C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT IS NOT AN AFFILIATE OF NICE LTD., OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY, NICE LTD. AND THE DEPOSITARY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

(d) Any such ADSs as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such ADSs for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the ADSs, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of ADSs, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by Section 2.05(c).

(e) Any Note or ADS delivered upon the exchange of a Note that is purchased or owned by an Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or ADS, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(f) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may reasonably require. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Company or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature, is subject to Tax Redemption, or has been surrendered for mandatory prepayment or is about to be exchanged in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such payment or exchange, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Certificated Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Certificated Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Certificated Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Certificated Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Exchanged, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, prepayment, redemption, repurchase (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives), registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(j)), if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents or Subsidiaries), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding for purposes of this Indenture upon their payment, prepayment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, ADSs or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(j)). All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it. No Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled, except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If NICE, the Company or any of NICE’s Subsidiaries shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a purchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10. Additional Notes; Purchases. (a) The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders, issue additional Notes under this Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the Issue Date (other than differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Such Notes issued on the Issue Date and the additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.06, as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

(b) The Company may, to the extent permitted by law and without the consent of Holders, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by NICE, the Company or NICE’s other Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08, and they will no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon this repurchase.

Section 2.11. Ranking. The Notes constitute a senior general unsecured obligation of the Company, ranking senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness and ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future indebtedness of the Company that is not so subordinated.

ARTICLE 3

Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 3.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture and the Notes shall upon request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate cease to be of further effect (except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.01), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(i) either:

(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (x) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.06 and (y) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 4.04(d)) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) the Company or NICE has deposited with the Paying Agent or delivered to Holders, as applicable, after all of the outstanding Notes have (i) become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, upon a Tax Redemption or at any Fundamental Change Prepayment Date, and/or (ii) have been exchanged (and the related Settlement Amounts have been determined), cash or cash and/or ADSs (solely to satisfy the Company’s Exchange Obligations), as applicable, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and/or satisfy all exchanges, as the case may be, and pay all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Company and NICE; and

(ii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company and NICE to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and, if cash or ADSs shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(i)(B), Section 4.04 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

ARTICLE 4

Particular Covenants of the Company and NICE

Section 4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange of, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, Settlement Amounts and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or NICE, holds as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Company or NICE in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, Settlement Amounts and interest then due. Unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee, the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) and overdue Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, at the rate equal to the interest rate on the Notes 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), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for payment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for exchange (“Exchange Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. The Company shall, at all times, maintain an office or agency in the continental United States to serve as the Company’s Paying Agent and Exchange Agent for the Notes. If at any time the Company 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 may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. Further, if at any time there shall be no such office or agency in the continental United States where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, the Company shall forthwith designate and maintain such an office or agency in the continental United States, in order that the Notes shall at all times be payable in the continental United States. The Company shall 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. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Exchange Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Exchange Agent and designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company.

Section 4.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04:

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

(ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

(iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable), cash portion of the Settlement Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.

(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or amounts to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

(d) Subject to applicable escheat laws, any money and ADSs deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note (or, in the case of ADSs, in satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation) and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable), the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, or interest has become due and payable (or such ADSs have become due and deliverable) shall be paid (or delivered, as the case may be) to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company and NICE for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and ADSs, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 4.05 . [Reserved].

Section 4.06. Rule 144A Information Requirement; Reporting; and Additional Interest. (a) For as long as any Notes are outstanding hereunder, at any time NICE is not subject to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, NICE shall, so long as any of the Notes, the ADSs deliverable upon exchange of the Notes, if any, or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or the ADSs deliverable upon exchange of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or such ADSs, as the case may be, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time).

(b) The Company shall provide to the Trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule under the Exchange Act), copies of any documents or reports that NICE is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any such information, documents or reports, or portions thereof, subject to confidential treatment and any correspondence with the Commission). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall in no event be required to file with, or otherwise provide or disclose to, the Trustee or any Holder any information for which NICE is requesting (assuming such request has not been denied), or has received, confidential treatment from the Commission. Any such document or report that NICE files with the Commission via the Commission’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be provided to the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) as of the time such documents are filed via the ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or such successor).

(c) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in Section 4.06(b) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and/or NICE’s compliance with any of the Company’s and/or NICE’s covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s and/or NICE’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the Commission or the Commission’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system or any website under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls.

(d) Subject to Section 4.06(f) and Section 6.03(b), if, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the Issue Date, NICE fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than reports on Form 6-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes from, and including, the later of the date that is six months after the Issue Date and the first date on which such failure to file occurs, until the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Issue Date and (ii) the date on which such failure to file has been cured (if applicable). Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period described in the preceding sentence.

(e) Subject to Section 4.06(f) and Section 6.03(b), if, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(b) has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes as of the 365th day after the Issue Date, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the restrictive legend on the Notes has been removed, the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP and the Notes are freely tradable by such Holders.

(f) Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes and shall be in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue, at the Company’s election, as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with the Company’s obligations under Section 4.06(b). In no event, however, will Additional Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Additional Interest payable as described in Section 4.06(d), Section 4.06(e) or Section 6.03(a)) at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

(g) If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(d), Section 4.06(e) or Section 6.03(a), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable.

Section 4.07. Additional Amounts.

In the event that any such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction are required to be withheld or deducted from any payments made by NICE or the Paying Agent, NICE shall pay to each Holder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the Additional Amounts) shall equal the amounts that would have been received had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(i) for or on account of:

(A) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

(1) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than merely holding or enforcing rights under such Note or the receipt of payments thereunder;

(2) the presentation of such Note (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner or such other person would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the Note for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or

(3) the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from NICE to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or to make any declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner is able to comply with such request without undue hardship and due and timely compliance with such request is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder or beneficial owner;

(B) any estate, inheritance, gift, use, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(C) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments under or with respect to the Notes;

(E) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is required to be deducted or withheld on a payment to a Holder or beneficial owner and that is required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC of June 3, 2003, Directive 2014/48/EU of March 24, 2014, or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to such directives;

(F) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection with a Note presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) by or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such tax, assessment or governmental charge by presenting the relevant Note to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another Paying Agent; or

(G) any combination of taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F); or

(ii) with respect to any payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) and interest on such Note or the payment of cash and/or delivery of ADSs (together with payment of cash in lieu of a fractional ADS) upon exchange of such Note to a Holder, if the Holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a partner or member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, member or beneficial owner been the Holder thereof.

(b) If NICE is required to make any deduction or withholding from any payments with respect to the Notes, NICE will deliver to the Trustee official tax receipts evidencing the remittance to the relevant tax authorities of the amounts so withheld or deducted. Copies of such receipts shall be made available to Holders of the Notes upon request.

(d) The Company shall promptly pay when due any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of each Note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside of Israel or the United States and except as provided in Section 2.06, Section 14.02(d) and Section 14.02(e).

(e) All payments and deliveries made under or with respect to the transactions contemplated herein are exclusive of VAT and, accordingly, if VAT is or becomes due then NICE and the Company must pay all such VAT to the relevant tax authorities.

Section 4.08. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of the Company and NICE covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to NICE or the Company), either the Trustee by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to NICE or the Company occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.

Section 6.03. Additional Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall, after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes (subject to Section 4.06(f) and Section 6.03(b)) at a rate equal to:

(i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 90th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred; and

(ii) if such Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived prior to the 91st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred, 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the 91st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 180th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred.

(b) Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.03(a) above shall be in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue pursuant to Sections 4.06(d) and 4.06(e). Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event, however, shall Additional Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.03(a) above, together with Additional Interest payable pursuant to Sections 4.06(d) and 4.06(e)) at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

(c) If the Company elects to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 6.03(a), such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes and will accrue on all Notes then outstanding from, and including, the date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) first occurs to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding). On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if such Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) in accordance with this Section 6.03, or the Company has elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall immediately be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.03 shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

(d) In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b), the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

Section 6.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and the Notes have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal (including the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable), satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest, if any, with (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) interest on any such overdue amounts, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, NICE or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, NICE or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of NICE or the Company under Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of NICE or the Company, or the property of NICE or the Company, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to NICE or the Company, or to the creditors or property of NICE or the Company, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to NICE or the Company, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, 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 it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver, rescission or annulment pursuant to Section 6.09 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, NICE, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, the Redemption Price (if applicable) and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price (if applicable) of, and/or satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes; and

THIRD: to the Company.

Section 6.06. Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment and/or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange of any Note, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of such security or indemnity; and

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

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions or forbearances by a Holder are unduly prejudicial to other Holders.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon exchange of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit against the Company for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such right to receive such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.07. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.

(a) The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have the right to 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 Notes; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture, it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences hereunder except:

(i) a default in the payment of the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes; or

(ii) a failure by the Company to deliver the consideration due upon exchange of the Notes;

provided that, in the case of the rescission of any acceleration with respect to the Notes, (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration) have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.

Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange, the Trustee shall be 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.

Section 6.11. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price with respect to the Notes being redeemed or prepaid as provided in this Indenture) or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the payment or delivery of consideration due upon exchange.

Section 7.05. Monies and ADSs To Be Held in Trust. All monies and ADSs received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money and ADSs held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or as expressly provided herein. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money or ADSs received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct. The Company and NICE, jointly and severally, covenant to indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.06 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company and NICE under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. The obligations of the Company and NICE under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, final payment of the Notes and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.07. Officer’s Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence, willful misconduct and recklessness 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 Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of negligence, willful misconduct and recklessness on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

Section 7.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(a) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.13 within a reasonable time after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months;

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after removal of the Trustee by the Holders, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon (i) payment of all fees and expenses owing to the Trustee and (ii) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

Section 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the predecessor trustee shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such pursuant to this Indenture, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall send or cause to be sent notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 7.11. Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of authentication shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.12. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than ten Business Days after the date any Officer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.13. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.14. Limitation on Trustee’s Liability. Except as provided in this Article, in accepting the trusts hereby created, the entities acting as Trustee are acting solely as Trustee hereunder and not in their individual capacity and, except as provided in this Article, all Persons having any claim against the Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or any Note shall look only to the Company and NICE for payment or satisfaction thereof.

ARTICLE 8

Concerning the Holders

Section 8.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (i) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (ii) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held, or (iii) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

Section 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Exchange Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for exchange of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Exchange Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or ADSs so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or ADSs deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded (from both the numerator and the denominator) and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee shall join with the Company and NICE in the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver unless such amendment, supplement or waiver adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Holders do not need under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

ARTICLE 11

Consolidation, Merger and Sale

Section 11.01. Company and NICE May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

(a) Neither the Company nor NICE shall consolidate with or merge with or into or otherwise combine with another Person, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of its consolidated assets, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than, in the case of a sale, lease or other transfer or disposition, to one or more of NICE’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries), unless:

(i) (1) NICE or the Company, as applicable, is the surviving corporation or (2) (x) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not NICE or the Company, as applicable) (the “Successor Company”) (A) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Israel, the United States of America, any State thereof, the District of Columbia, the Islands of Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Canada, Germany, Guernsey, Jersey, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland or the United Kingdom, and (B) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of NICE’s or the Company’s obligations, as applicable, under the Notes, this Indenture and the Guarantee, as the case may be (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) and (y) in the event of a consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of NICE, the Board of Directors of NICE and the board of directors of the surviving Person each determine that there is no reasonable concern that, as a result of such consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease or other transfer or disposition, the surviving Person will not be able to satisfy its obligations to its creditors; and

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.

For purposes of this Section 11.01, any sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of the assets of one or more Subsidiaries of NICE (other than the Company) to another Person that would, if such assets were held directly by NICE instead of such Subsidiaries, have constituted the sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of NICE and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be deemed to be the sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of the assets of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of NICE and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person.

(b) Upon any such consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease or other transfer or disposition and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Amounts), the due and punctual delivery and/or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon exchange of the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Amounts) and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee to be performed by the Company or NICE, as applicable, such Successor Company (if not the Company or NICE, as applicable) shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of and be substituted for, the Company or NICE, as applicable, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the Company or NICE, as applicable, shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Guarantee, as applicable, except in the case of a lease. Such Successor Company (instead of the Company, if applicable) thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by an Officer of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or disposition (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11, the Person named as the “Company” or the “Guarantor” in the first paragraph of this Indenture shall be released from its respective liabilities as obligor or guarantor and maker of the Notes (in the case of the Company) and from its obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee.

(c) In the event of any such consolidation, merger, combination or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition involving the Company, if the relevant Successor Company is organized or resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, and any payments or deliveries made by such Successor Company under or with respect to the Notes are subject to withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed by such jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction from or through which payments by such Successor Company are made or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, such Successor Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges in a manner corresponding to the obligation of NICE to pay Additional Amounts as set forth in Section 4.07 (and for such purpose, as well as for purposes of any Tax Redemption, the applicable jurisdiction imposing such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges shall be a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”).

Section 11.02. [Reserved].

Section 11.03. Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate To Be Given to Trustee. No consolidation, merger, combination or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, combination or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article 11 and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, an Opinion of Counsel, which shall state that the Indenture, the Guarantee and the Notes, as applicable, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of any Successor Company, as applicable, subject to customary exceptions.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on, or the payment or delivery of consideration due upon Exchange of, any Note or the Guarantee, nor for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or NICE in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note or the Guarantee, nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary (other than the Company), as such, past, present or future, of the Company or NICE or of any of their respective successor corporations or other entities, either directly or through the Company, NICE or any of their respective successor corporations or other entities, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes and the Guarantee.

ARTICLE 13

Guarantee

Section 13.01 . Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 13, NICE hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes held thereby and the obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, upon redemption, upon prepayment or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the Notes, and the Settlement Amounts upon exchange will be promptly paid and/or delivered in full when due upon exchange, and all other payment obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full and performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, upon redemption, upon prepayment or otherwise. Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, NICE will be obligated to pay the same immediately. An Event of Default with respect to the Notes under this Indenture shall constitute an event of default under the Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of NICE hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

(b) NICE hereby agrees that its obligation hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of NICE. NICE further, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 13.03.

(c) NICE also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 13.01.

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, NICE, or any Custodian, Trustee or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or NICE, any amount paid by the Company or NICE to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) NICE further agrees that, as between NICE, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby, and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of this Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by NICE for the purpose of its Guarantee.

(f) The Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(g) In case any provision of the Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(h) Each payment to be made by NICE in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature (provided that Additional Amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.07 shall remain payable).

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantee with respect to a Note is not exchangeable and shall automatically terminate when such Note is exchanged in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 13.02 . Execution and Delivery.

The Guarantee shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of this Indenture or a supplement to this Indenture and no notation of the Guarantee need be endorsed on any Note. NICE hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of NICE.

Section 13.03 . [Reserved].

Section 13.04 . Limitation on NICE’s Liability.

NICE, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and NICE hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of NICE under the Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of NICE, result in the obligations of NICE under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 13.05 . Subrogation.

NICE shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by NICE pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, NICE shall not be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 13.06 . Benefits Acknowledged.

NICE acknowledges that it will receive benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to the Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 13.07 . Ranking.

The Guarantee of NICE constitutes a senior general unsecured obligation, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured liabilities of NICE that are not subordinated and ranking senior in right of payment to all future indebtedness of NICE that is expressly made subordinate to such Guarantee by the terms of such indebtedness.

Section 13.08 . “Trustee” to Include Paying Agent.

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 13 shall in each case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to, and including, such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 13 in place of the Trustee.

ARTICLE 14

Exchange of Notes

Section 14.01 . Exchange Privilege.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange all or any portion (if the portion to be exchanged is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note:

(i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2023 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b);

(ii) on or after September 15, 2023, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

in each case, at an initial exchange rate of 12.0260 ADSs (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.04 and, if applicable, Section 14.03, the “Exchange Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Exchange Obligation”).

(b) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2023, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes (that is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for exchange at any time during the five Business Day period after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures described below in this subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs and the Exchange Rate on each such Trading Day.

(A) The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of Notes requests in writing that the Company makes such a determination and provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to determine, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes beginning on the Trading Day following the receipt of such evidence and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day.

(B) If the Trading Price condition has been met, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.

(C) If the Company does not, when it is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it does not) obtain bids, or if the Company gives such instruction to the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it fails to make such determination), then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs and the Exchange Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.

(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2023, NICE elects to:

(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), at a price per ADS that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) NICE’s assets, securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase securities of NICE (in each case, other than any distribution pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan), which distribution has a per Ordinary Share value, as reasonably determined by NICE’s Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of (i) the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, divided by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) at least 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes (that is $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for exchange at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) NICE’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

No Holder may exchange any of its Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(ii) if such Holder otherwise participates in such issuance or distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs and as a result of holding Notes, without having to exchange its Notes as if such Holder held a number of ADSs equal to (x) the applicable Exchange Rate multiplied by (y) the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(iii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2023:

(A) a Fundamental Change occurs;

(B) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; or

(C) NICE is a party to a consolidation, merger, or other combination, statutory scheme of arrangement, statutory share exchange or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of NICE and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case, pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) would be exchanged for stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof),

then, in each case, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes (that is $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for exchange at any time from or after the open of business on the Business Day immediately following the day NICE publicly announces such transaction (even if such transaction has not yet occurred) until the close of business on the 35th Trading Day after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Prepayment Date.

The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the effective date of any such transaction as promptly as practicable following the date NICE publicly announces such transaction, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Holders prior to such effective date, if practicable.

(iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2023, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes (that is $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for exchange during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Exchange Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine whether the Notes are exchangeable and provide written notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee).

Section 14.02. Exchange Procedure; Settlement Upon Exchange

(a) Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon exchange of any Note, the Company shall, at its election, pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder, in full satisfaction of its Exchange Obligation, cash (“Cash Settlement”), ADSs (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and ADSs (“Combination Settlement”), as set forth in this Section 14.02.

(i) All exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after September 15, 2023, and all exchanges occurring after the date of the Company’s issuance of a Notice of Tax Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Tax Redemption Date, shall be settled using the same Settlement Method (including the same relative proportion of cash and/or ADSs). Except for any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after September 15, 2023, or after the date of the Company’s issuance of a Notice of Tax Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Tax Redemption Date, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method (including the same relative proportion of cash and/or ADSs) for all exchanges with the same Exchange Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to exchanges with different Exchange Dates.

(ii) If the Company elects a Settlement Method, the Company shall deliver notice to Holders through the Exchange Agent of such Settlement Method the Company has selected no later than the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately following the related Exchange Date (or (i) in the case of any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after September 15, 2023, no later than September 15, 2023 or (ii) in the case of any exchanges occurring after the date of issuance of a Notice of Tax Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Tax Redemption Date, in such Notice of Tax Redemption). If the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement with respect to that Exchange Date and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Exchange Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1,000. If the Company elects Combination Settlement in respect of any exchange but does not specify in its election a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, or the Company is deemed to have elected Combination Settlement, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000.

(iii) The cash, ADSs or combination of cash and ADSs payable or deliverable by the Company in respect of any exchange of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed by the Company as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a number of ADSs equal to the Exchange Rate on the Exchange Date (plus cash in lieu of any fractional ADS deliverable upon exchange);

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Exchange Values for each of the 60 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 60 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period (plus cash in lieu of any fractional ADS deliverable upon exchange).

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at any one time by the same Holder, the Exchange Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.

(iv) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Exchange Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional ADS, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional ADSs. The Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) (i) To exchange a beneficial interest in a Global Note (which exchange is irrevocable), the holder of such beneficial interest must:

(A) comply with the Applicable Procedures;

(B) if applicable, pay a fee of up to $0.05 per ADS, if any, deliverable upon such exchange, as well as any applicable fees, costs and expenses prescribed under the Deposit Agreement;

(D) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(g); and

(ii) To exchange a Certificated Note, the Holder must:

(A) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Exchange”) and such Note to the Exchange Agent;

(B) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;

(C) if applicable, pay a fee of up to $0.05 per ADS, if any, deliverable upon such exchange, as well as any applicable fees, costs and expenses prescribed under the Deposit Agreement;

(D) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and

(E) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(g).

The Trustee (and if different, the Exchange Agent) shall notify the Company of any exchange pursuant to this Article 14 on the Exchange Date for such exchange.

If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for exchange until such Holder has validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice (or, in the case of a Global Note, has complied with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal) in accordance with the terms of Section 15.03. If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice, such Holder’s right to withdraw such notice and exchange the Notes that are subject to prepayment will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Prepayment Date.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Exchange Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 14.02(b) above.

Subject to the provisions of Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount due in respect of the Exchange Obligation on:

(i) the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement; or

(ii) the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, if the Company elects Cash Settlement or if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement.

If any ADSs are due to exchanging Holders, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary, as the case may be, for the full number of ADSs to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Exchange Obligation.

(d) In case any Certificated Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, in $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance or delivery of any ADSs upon exchange of such Note (or the issuance of the underlying Ordinary Shares), unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such ADSs (or the Ordinary Shares) to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.

(f) Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian of the Global Note at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation in the books and records of the Trustee and Depositary as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchange of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.

(g) Upon exchange of a Note, the exchanging Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth in the paragraph below. The Company’s payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the Settlement Amount upon exchange of any Note shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon an exchange of Notes into a combination of cash and ADSs, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such exchange.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if Notes are exchanged after the close of business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. Notes surrendered for exchange during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so exchanged on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment need be made:

(i) if the Notes are surrendered for exchange following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

(ii) if the Notes are subject to Tax Redemption by the Company on a Tax Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

(iii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Prepayment Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or

(iv) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note.

Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Tax Redemption Date as described in clause (ii) above and any Fundamental Change Prepayment Date as described in clause (iii) above shall receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged following such Regular Record Date.

(h) The Person in whose name any ADSs delivered upon exchange is registered shall become the holder of record of such ADSs as of the close of business on (i) the relevant Exchange Date if the Company elects Physical Settlement or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period if the Company elects or is deemed to elect Combination Settlement. Upon an exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange; provided that (a) the exchanging Holder shall have the right to receive the Settlement Amount due upon exchange and (b) in the case of an exchange between a Regular Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall have the right to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, in accordance with Section 14.02(g).

(i) The Company shall not issue any fractional ADSs upon exchange of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional ADS deliverable upon exchange in an amount based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the relevant Exchange Date if the Company elects Physical Settlement or (ii) the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period if the Company elects or is deemed to elect Combination Settlement. For each Note surrendered for exchange, if the Company has elected (or is deemed to elect) Combination Settlement, the full number of ADSs that shall be issued upon exchange thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and, if applicable, any fractional ADS remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

(j) Upon surrender by a Holder of its Notes for exchange, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Exchange Agent to surrender, on or prior to the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Company has elected Physical Settlement, on or prior to the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date), such Notes to a financial institution chosen by the Company (the “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of exchange by the Company. In order to accept any Notes surrendered to the Company for exchange, the Designated Financial Institution must agree to pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, all of the cash, ADSs or combination thereof due upon exchange, all as provided in Section 14.02(a) (the “Exchange Consideration”). By the close of business on the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Company has elected Physical Settlement, the Company shall, by the close of business on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date), the Company shall notify the Holder surrendering Notes for exchange that the Company has directed the Designated Financial Institution to make a third party exchange in lieu of an exchange by the Company.

If the Designated Financial Institution accepts any Notes as described above, it will pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the cash, ADSs or a combination thereof due upon exchange to the Exchange Agent, and the Exchange Agent shall pay and/or deliver such cash and/or ADSs to such Holder on the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Company has elected Physical Settlement, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date). Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Financial Institution shall remain outstanding. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver the related cash, ADSs or a combination thereof, as the case may be, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall exchange the Notes and pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the cash, ADSs or a combination thereof due upon exchange on the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Company has elected Physical Settlement, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date) as described in Section 14.02.

The Company’s designation of a Designated Financial Institution does not require such Designated Financial Institution to accept any Notes (unless such Designated Financial Institution has separately made an agreement with the Company). The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with any Designated Financial Institution that would compensate it for any such transaction.

Section 14.03. Increase in Exchange Rate Upon Exchange in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange by a number of additional ADSs (the “Additional ADSs”), as described below. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Prepayment Date (or in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy its Exchange Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that, if the consideration for the ADSs in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any exchange of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Exchange Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the ADS Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of exchanged Notes equal to (i) the Exchange Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional ADSs as described in this Section 14.03), multiplied by (ii) such ADS Price. In such event, the Exchange Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Exchange Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and NICE will issue a press release announcing such Effective Date and publish the information on its website or through such other public medium as NICE may use at that time no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date (the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Company Notice”).

(c) The number of Additional ADSs, if any, by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “ADS Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per ADS in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the ADSs receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the ADS Price shall be the cash amount paid per ADS. Otherwise, the ADS Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(d) The ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted ADS Prices shall equal (i) the ADS Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the ADS Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional ADSs set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Exchange Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional ADSs by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each ADS Price and Effective Date set forth below:

	ADS Price
Effective Date	$	67.88	$	70.00	$	75.00	$	80.00	$	83.15	$	90.00	$	100.00	$	110.00	$	120.00	$	130.00	$	150.00	$	175.00	$	225.00

The exact ADS Price and/or Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the ADS Price is between two ADS Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional ADSs by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional ADSs set forth for the higher and lower ADS Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the ADS Price is greater than $225.00 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional ADSs shall be added to the Exchange Rate; and

(iii) if the ADS Price is less than $67.88 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional ADSs shall be added to the Exchange Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 14.7318 ADSs, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.

(f) Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04. Adjustment of Exchange Rate. If the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs is changed, after the date of this Indenture, for any reason other than one or more of the events described in this Section 14.04, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Exchange Rate such that the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs upon which the exchange of the Notes is based remains the same.

Notwithstanding the adjustment provisions described in this Section 14.04, if NICE distributes to holders of the Ordinary Shares any cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of NICE and a corresponding distribution is not made to holders of the ADSs, but, instead, the ADSs shall represent, in addition to Ordinary Shares, such cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of NICE, then an adjustment to the Exchange Rate described in this Section 14.04 shall not be made until and unless a corresponding distribution (if any) is made to holders of the ADSs, and such adjustment to the Exchange Rate shall be based on the distribution made to the holders of the ADSs and not on the distribution made to the holders of the Ordinary Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in this Section 14.04 results in a change to the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs, then such change shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to effect the relevant adjustment to the Exchange Rate on account of such event to the extent such change produces the same economic effect as the relevant adjustment to the Exchange Rate would have produced in the absence of the change to the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs.

The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to exchange their Notes, as if they held a number of ADSs equal to (i) the Exchange Rate, multiplied by (ii) the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a) If NICE exclusively issues Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution on the Ordinary Shares, or if NICE effects a share split or share combination of the Ordinary Shares, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀

the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and

OS₁

the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared and results in an adjustment under this Section 14.04(a) but is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date NICE’s Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If NICE issues to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per Ordinary Share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS₀

the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

the total number of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) deliverable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

the number of Ordinary Shares equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, divided by (b) the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS.

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) are not delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered (directly or in the form of ADSs). If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date NICE’s Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares represented by one ADS, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), there shall be taken into account any consideration received by NICE for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or exchange thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by NICE’s Board of Directors.

(c) If NICE distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), excluding:

(i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) described in Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b);

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 14.04(d);

(iii) except in the case of a Separation Event, any dividend or distribution pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan (as described in this Section 14.04(c));

(iv) any dividends and distributions in connection with a Specified Corporate Event described below under Section 14.07; and

(v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply;

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of NICE, the “Distributed Property”), then the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP₀

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS; and

FMV

the fair market value (as determined by NICE’s Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property so distributed with respect to each outstanding Ordinary Share (directly or in the form of ADSs) on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date NICE’s Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of NICE, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (directly or in the form of ADSs) (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

FMV₀

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) applicable to one Ordinary Share (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to the ADSs were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the Valuation Period, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS.

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be made immediately after the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any exchange of Notes where the Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the final day of the related Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Company shall deliver the consideration due upon exchange on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period. If such Spin-Off does not occur, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared, effective as of the date on which NICE’s Board of Directors determines not to consummate such Spin-Off.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by NICE to all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of NICE’s Capital Stock, including Ordinary Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs);

(ii) are not exercisable; and

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs),

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made:

(A) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per Ordinary Share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and

(B) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(ii) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then:

(A) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and

(B) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀

the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS; and

the amount in cash per Ordinary Share NICE distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs).

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date NICE’s Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of ADSs equal to the Exchange Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If NICE or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) (other than an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (such date, the “Expiration Date”), divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

ER₁

the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by NICE’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀

the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange, or represented by all ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange, as the case may be, in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁

the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange, or represented by all ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange, as the case may be, in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication); and

SP₁

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS.

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall be made at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Trading Day succeeding the Expiration Date. Because the Company shall make the adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the end of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date with retroactive effect, the Company shall delay the settlement of any exchange of Notes where the Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the final day of the related Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. In such event, the Company will deliver the consideration due upon exchange the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

In the event that NICE or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but NICE or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all or a portion of such purchases are rescinded, then the Exchange Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if an Exchange Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date and a Holder that has exchanged its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the ADSs as of the related Exchange Date as described under Section 14.02(h) based on an adjusted Exchange Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Exchange Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04, the Exchange Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such exchanging Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the ADSs on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and all adjustments to the Exchange Rate shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of an ADS. In no event will the Exchange Rate be adjusted such that the Exchange Price shall be less than the par value per Ordinary Share. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 14 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Exchange Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% to the Exchange Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustment that is less than 1% of the Exchange Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried-forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the Issue Date, (ii) in the case of any Note to which Physical Settlement applies, upon the Exchange Date, (iii) in the case of any Note to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, on each VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, (iv) on the date of a Notice of Tax Redemption and (v) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change or the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Company from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if NICE’s Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s and/or NICE’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to the holders of Ordinary Shares or the ADSs or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or ADSs) or similar event. Whenever the Exchange Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall send to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs or the right to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs or such convertible or exchangeable securities. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on NICE’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares or ADSs under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs or options or rights to purchase those Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by NICE or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) for ordinary course of business repurchases of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) that are not tender or exchange offers referred to in Section 14.04(e), including structured or derivative transactions or pursuant to a repurchase program approved by NICE’s Board of Directors;

(v) solely for a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(j) [Reserved]

(k) Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Exchange Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall send such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of this Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) [Reserved]

(m) For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of NICE, so long as NICE does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on ADSs or Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of NICE, but shall include ADSs or Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of ADSs or Ordinary Shares.

Section 14.05. Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period for determining the ADS Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Tax Redemption), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments, in good faith, to each to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date of the event occurs at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts or ADS Prices are to be calculated.

Section 14.06. Ordinary Shares To Be Fully Reserved; Approval of and Registration on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. NICE shall have reserved and provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs exchangeable under the Notes (including the maximum number of Additional ADSs that could be included in the Exchange Rate for an exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change). NICE shall have received an approval from the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange for the registration for trading of the maximum number of Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs exchangeable under the Notes (including the maximum number of Additional ADSs that could be included in the Exchange Rate for an exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change) on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Following any exchange, NICE shall promptly register the Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 14.08(f).

Section 14.07. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the ADSs.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Ordinary Shares (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination);

(ii) any consolidation, merger or other combination involving NICE; or

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer or disposition to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of NICE and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

(iv) any statutory scheme of arrangement; or

(v) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Specified Corporate Event” and any such stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), “Reference Property” and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one ADS immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Specified Corporate Event, a “Unit of Reference Property”), then the Company, or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, will execute with the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, a supplemental indenture providing that, at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event, the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for ADSs will be changed into a right to exchange such principal amount of Notes for ADSs for the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of a number of ADSs equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon such Specified Corporate Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event:

(A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon exchange of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02; and

(B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any ADSs that would have been deliverable upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the Units of Reference Property that a holder of that number of ADSs would have received in such Specified Corporate Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property; provided, however, that if the holders of ADSs receive only cash in such Specified Corporate Event, then for all exchanges that occur after the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event (x) the consideration due upon exchange of each $1,000 principal aggregate amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per ADS in such Specified Corporate Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Exchange Obligation by paying such cash to the exchanging Holder on the third Business Day immediately following the Exchange Date.

If the Specified Corporate Event causes the ADSs to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of holder election), then the Reference Property used to calculate the Daily VWAP shall be deemed to be based on: (A) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of ADSs that affirmatively make such an election; and (B) if no holder of ADSs affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holder of ADSs. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14. If the Reference Property in respect of any Specified Corporate Event includes shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) of an entity other than NICE or the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Specified Corporate Event, then such other entity, if it is party to such Specified Corporate Event, shall also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Company to prepay their Notes upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with Article 15, as the Board of Directors of NICE shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 14.07(a), the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or other assets (including any combination thereof) that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Specified Corporate Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly send notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be sent to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) If the Notes become exchangeable for Reference Property, the Company shall notify the Trustee and NICE shall issue a press release containing the relevant information and publish the information on its website or through such other public medium as it may use at that time.

(d) The Company and NICE shall not become a party to any Specified Corporate Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to exchange its Notes into cash, ADSs or a combination of cash and ADSs, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event.

(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Specified Corporate Events.

Section 14.08. Certain Covenants.

(a) NICE covenants that all ADSs delivered upon exchange of Notes, and all Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of NICE and free from all taxes, liens, charges and adverse claims as the result of any action by NICE.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) The Company and NICE shall comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and Israeli securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of ADSs upon exchange of the Notes, or any Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, including that if any ADSs to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Notes hereunder, or any Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any U.S. federal or state law or Israeli law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon exchange, NICE shall, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(d) The Company and NICE further covenant that if at any time the ADSs shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, NICE shall list and keep listed, so long as the ADSs shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any ADSs deliverable upon exchange of the Notes.

(e) NICE further covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions and obtain all approvals and registrations with respect to the exchange of the Notes for ADSs and the issuance and deposit into the ADS facility of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. NICE shall also undertake to maintain, as long as the Notes are outstanding, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs and an adequate number of ADSs available for issuance thereunder such that ADSs can be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Notes and the Deposit Agreement, as the case may be, upon exchange of the Notes.

(f) To the extent that, on the date any ADSs are issued and delivered upon any exchange of Notes, the Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, NICE shall promptly register the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs so issued and delivered for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.

Section 14.09. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any ADSs, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any ADSs or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of ADSs or the Ordinary Shares or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the exchange of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for exchange or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such exchange rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Exchange Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b). The parties hereto agree that all notices to the Trustee or the Exchange Agent under this Article 14 shall be in writing.

Section 14.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:

(a) action by NICE or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 or Section 14.11;

(b) Specified Corporate Event or any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all assets in accordance with Article 11; or

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be sent to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the date on which such action, Specified Corporate Event, any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all assets in accordance with Article 11, or any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, of record shall be entitled to exchange their ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such Specified Corporate Event, consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all assets in accordance with Article 11, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; provided, however, that if on such date, neither the Company nor NICE has knowledge of such event or the adjusted Exchange Rate cannot be calculated, the Company shall deliver such notice as promptly as practicable upon obtaining knowledge of such event or information sufficient to make such calculation, as the case may be, and in no event later than the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company, NICE or one of NICE’s Subsidiaries, Specified Corporate Event, or any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other transfer or disposition of all or substantially all assets in accordance with Article 11, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 14.11. Stockholder Rights Plans. If NICE has a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan in effect upon exchange of the Notes, Holders that exchange their Notes shall receive, in addition to any ADSs received in connection with such exchange, the appropriate number of rights under such rights agreement or rights plan (either directly or in respect of the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs), if any, and any certificate representing the ADS (either directly or in respect of the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs) issued upon such exchange shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such rights agreement or rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if prior to any exchange, the rights have separated from the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan (a “Separation Event”), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if NICE distributed to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares, Distributed Property pursuant to Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 14.12. Termination of Depositary Receipt Program. If the Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADSs issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by NICE, each reference in this Indenture to the ADSs shall be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of Ordinary Shares (and other property, if any) represented by the ADSs on the last day on which the ADSs represented the Ordinary Shares and as if such Ordinary Shares and other property had been distributed to holders of the ADSs on that day. In addition, all references to the Daily VWAP or the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs shall be deemed to refer to the Daily VWAP or the Last Reported Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares (determined by reference to the definition of Daily VWAP or Last Reported Sale Price, as the case may be, as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to the ADSs were to the Ordinary Shares), and other appropriate adjustments, including adjustments to the Exchange Rate, shall be made to reflect such change. In making such adjustments, where currency translations between U.S. dollars and any other currency are required, the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of determination shall apply.

ARTICLE 15

Prepayment of Notes at Option of Holders

Section 15.01. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 15.02. Mandatory Prepayment at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to prepay for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Prepayment Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (subject to extension if required to comply with law), at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date (the “Fundamental Change Prepayment Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Article 15.

(b) Prepayments of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, or in compliance with the Applicable Procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date; and

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, to the Paying Agent on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, in each case, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice in respect of any Notes to be prepaid shall state:

(A) in the case of Certificated Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for prepayment;

(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be prepaid, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C) that the Notes are to be prepaid by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the prepayment right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the prepayment right pursuant to this Article 15;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date;

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

(vii) the Exchange Rate and any adjustments to the Exchange Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be exchanged only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (or, in the case of a Global Note, complies with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal); and

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to prepay their Notes.

Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, NICE shall issue a press release containing the information in such Fundamental Change Company Notice and publish the information on its website or through such other public medium as NICE may use at that time.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s and NICE’s names and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company and/or NICE. In such a case, the Company shall deliver such notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the date that the notice is required to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), together with an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice.

Such notice shall be delivered to the Trustee, to the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder at its address shown in the Note Register (and to the beneficial owner as required by applicable law) or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

No failure of the Company and/or NICE to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ prepayment rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be prepaid by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders in connection with a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Certificated Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to prepay, or to make an offer to prepay, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company pursuant to this Article 15 and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company on the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date.

Section 15.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice. A Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date, specifying:

(a) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,

(b) if Certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Notes in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(c) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Prepayment Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the withdrawal notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Section 15.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Prepayment Price. (a) The Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date an amount of money sufficient to prepay all of the Notes to be prepaid at the appropriate Fundamental Change Prepayment Price. Subject to receipt of funds by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for prepayment (and not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02, by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price.

(b) If by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be prepaid on such Fundamental Change Prepayment Date or any applicable extension thereof, then, with respect to Notes that have been properly tendered and not validly withdrawn:

(i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent); and

(ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate on the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date (other than (x) the right to receive the Fundamental Change Prepayment Price and (y) if the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the right of the Holder on such Regular Record Date to receive the accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Prepayment Date).

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be prepaid in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the portion of the Note surrendered that is not to be prepaid, without payment of any service charge.

Section 15.05. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Prepayment of Notes. In connection with any prepayment offer, the Company will, if required:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act;

(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to prepay the Notes; and

(d) comply with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15, subject to extension if required to comply with law. To the extent that any securities laws and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the prepayment of Notes, the Company is required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Indenture as a result thereof.

ARTICLE 16

Redemption Only for Taxation Reasons

Section 16.01. No Redemption Except for Taxation Reasons. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, except as described in this Article 16, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes may be redeemed, for cash, at the Company’s option, as a whole but not in part (a “Tax Redemption”), at the Redemption Price, if (w) on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, NICE or the Company is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, (x) NICE or the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it (provided that changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of NICE or the Company shall be deemed not to be a commercially reasonable measure), (y) in the case of NICE, NICE would be unable, for reasons outside its control, to procure payment by the Company and (z) the requirement arises as a result of:

(1) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which change or amendment is announced on or after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date); or

(2) any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application or administration of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, order by a court or competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment or change is announced on or after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date) (each of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”).

Section 16.02. Notice of Tax Redemption.

(a) In the event that the Company exercises its Tax Redemption Right pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the “Tax Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is sent to the Holders (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such Tax Redemption (a “Notice of Tax Redemption”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the Tax Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided, however, that (i) the Company may not give a Notice of Tax Redemption on or after May 15, 2023, and (ii) if the Company shall give a Notice of Tax Redemption, it shall also give a written notice of the Tax Redemption Date to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Tax Redemption Date must be a Business Day.

(b) The Company shall not give any Notice of Tax Redemption earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which NICE would be obligated to make such payment or withholding, if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Simultaneously with providing a Notice of Tax Redemption, NICE will issue a press release containing the relevant information and make the press release available on its website (or through such other public medium as NICE may use at that time). Prior to the publication or, where relevant, sending of any Notice of Tax Redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking commercially reasonable measures available to the Company or NICE; and (ii) a written opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that NICE has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee shall accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate and opinion (without further investigation or inquiry) and it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c) The Notice of Tax Redemption, if mailed in the manner provided herein, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given duly, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Tax Redemption by mail or any defect in the Notice of Tax Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

(d) Each Notice of Tax Redemption shall specify:

(i) the Tax Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(iv) that on the Tax Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that the interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Tax Redemption Date;

(v) that Holders may surrender their Notes called for redemption for exchange at any time from the date of the Notice of Tax Redemption to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price;

(vi) the procedures an exchanging Holder must follow to exchange its Notes called for redemption and, if the Company chooses to elect a Settlement Method for any such exchanges, the relevant Settlement Method;

(vii) that Holders have the right to elect not to have their Notes redeemed by delivering to the Trustee written notice to that effect not later than the 15th calendar day prior to the Tax Redemption Date;

(viii) that Holders who wish to elect not to have their Notes redeemed must satisfy the requirements set forth herein and in the Indenture;

(ix) that, on and after the Tax Redemption Date, Holders who elect not to have their Notes redeemed will not receive any Additional Amounts on any payments with respect to such Notes solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law (whether upon exchange, prepayment, maturity or otherwise, and whether in cash, ADSs or otherwise), and all subsequent payments with respect to the Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law;

(x) the Exchange Rate and, if applicable, the number of ADSs added to the Exchange Rate in accordance with Section 16.06; and

(xi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes.

A Notice of Tax Redemption shall be irrevocable. In the case of a Tax Redemption, a Holder may exchange any or all of its Notes called for redemption at any time from the date of the Notice of Tax Redemption to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price.

Section 16.03. Payment of Notes Called for Tax Redemption.

(a) If any Notice of Tax Redemption has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Tax Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Notice of Tax Redemption and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Notice of Tax Redemption, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.

(b) Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Tax Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Tax Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Tax Redemption Date for such Notes. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

Section 16.04. Holders’ Right to Avoid Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 16, if the Company has given a Notice of Tax Redemption as described in Section 16.02, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to elect that all or a part of such Holder’s Notes will not be subject to the Tax Redemption. If a Holder elects that its Notes shall not be subject to a Tax Redemption, NICE shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments made in respect of such Notes following the Tax Redemption Date solely as a result of the relevant Change in Tax Law, and all subsequent payments in respect of such Notes shall be subject to any tax required to be withheld or deducted under the laws of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction solely as a result of the relevant Change in Tax Law. The obligation to pay Additional Amounts to any electing Holder for payments made in periods prior to the Tax Redemption Date shall remain subject to the exceptions set forth under Section 4.07. Holders must exercise their option to elect to avoid a Tax Redemption by written notice (a “No Redemption Notice”) to the Trustee no later than the 15th calendar day prior to the Tax Redemption Date; provided that a Holder that complies with the requirements for exchange of its Notes as described in Article 14 before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price) shall be deemed to have validly delivered a notice of election to avoid a Tax Redemption.

Section 16.05. Restrictions on Tax Redemption. The Company may not redeem any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays the Redemption Price) (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 16.06. Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Called for Redemption Surrendered for Exchange in Connection with a Tax Redemption.

(a) If a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Tax Redemption pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v) and this Article 16, the Exchange Rate will be increased by a number of additional ADSs as described in this Section 16.06. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Tax Redemption if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the date of the Notice of Tax Redemption to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price.

(b) The number of additional ADSs, if any, by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased pursuant to this Section 16.06 if a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Tax Redemption shall be determined by reference to the table set forth in Section 14.03(e) based on the Redemption Reference Date and the Redemption Reference Price, but determined for purposes of this Section 16.06 as if (i) the Holder had elected to exchange its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) the Redemption Reference Date were the Effective Date of the relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (iii) the Redemption Reference Price were the ADS Price in respect of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

A Holder that elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Tax Redemption and complies with the requirements for exchange as set forth in Article 14 shall be deemed to have delivered and not withdrawn a No Redemption Notice.
