RELATION TO INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01 Relation To Indenture.
This Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Indenture.
SECTION 1.02 Rules of Interpretation; Definitions.
The first paragraph of Section 1.01 of the Indenture is fully incorporated by reference into this Supplemental Indenture. For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, all words, terms or phrases used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, (i) which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the TARGET2 system) or any successor thereto (including the real-time gross settlement system referred to as T2), is open.
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of issuance of the Notes:
(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Company’s Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock;
(3) the Company consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges or amalgamates with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or
(4) the adoption by the Company’s shareholders of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.
“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). However, a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Change in Control Triggering Event). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for such Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

Article
II
THE SERIES OF DEBT SECURITIES
SECTION 2.01 Title of the Debt Securities.
There is hereby created under the Indenture a series of Debt Securities designated the “4.375% Senior Notes due 2032.”
SECTION 2.02 Limitations on Aggregate Principal Amount.
The aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be initially limited to €550,000,000; provided that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of Outstanding Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding by issuing additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) in the future on the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the right to receive accrued and unpaid interest), except for differences in the issue price, issue date and first Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Notes) of the Additional Notes, and with the same CUSIP and/or ISIN number as the Notes then Outstanding; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP and/or ISIN number. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes then Outstanding and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture. From and after the issue date of any Additional Notes, any reference herein to “Notes” shall include such Additional Notes.
Except with respect to Additional Notes as provided in this Section 2.02, the Company shall not execute and the Trustee shall not authenticate or deliver Notes in excess of such aggregate principal amount.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.02 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated in Section 3.06, 3.07, 4.03 and 11.04 of the Indenture.
| 6 |
SECTION 2.03 Registered Debt Securities; Global Form.
The Notes shall be issuable and transferable in fully registered form, without coupons. The Notes shall each be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Debt Securities subject to any requirements of the Indenture for the issuance of definitive Notes in exchange therefor. The Depository for the Notes shall be Euroclear and Clearstream. Beneficial interests in the Global Debt Securities evidencing the Notes shall not be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form except as provided in Section 2.04 of the Indenture or if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
SECTION 2.04 Form and Terms of Notes; Payment.
The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and shall have the terms specified therein, the terms of which are herein incorporated by reference. The Global Debt Securities evidencing the Notes shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository and shall be registered in the name of The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee of the Common Depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, the Depository.
Principal of, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable in Euro. If Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the Euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until Euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such case, the amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted to Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day before the date that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent (or any other Paying Agent appointed in respect of the Notes under the Indenture) shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, determining the Market Exchange Rate, calculating or effecting conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations.
At the time of repayment of the Notes, whether on the Stated Maturity Date (as defined in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto), or upon earlier repayment or redemption in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may designate one or more of its Subsidiaries to acquire the Notes for its own account and to pay Holders a cash purchase price for the Notes that is equal to the amounts otherwise due upon maturity or such earlier repayment or redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will remain the sole obligor under the Notes and Holders will continue to be entitled to look solely to the Company for payment of all amounts due under the Notes. For greater certainty, in addition to the foregoing, either the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries may also purchase outstanding Notes at any time and from time to time at prevailing market prices or at such price as the Holder of the Notes being purchased may agree.
SECTION 2.05 Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent.
The Bank of New York Mellon shall initially serve as Debt Security registrar and transfer agent for the Notes. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, shall initially serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
| 7 |
The execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture by The Bank of New York Mellon shall be deemed, in addition to acceptance of the duties as Trustee for the Notes, acceptance of its responsibilities as Debt Security registrar and transfer agent for the Notes, subject to the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and indemnities set forth in the Indenture.
The execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture by The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, shall be deemed acceptance of its responsibilities as Paying Agent for the Notes, subject to the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and indemnities set forth in the Indenture.
Solely for purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), Section 5.04(a)(1) of the Indenture shall be deemed to be replaced in its entirety with the following:
“(1) The Company will, no later than 5:00 p.m., London time, on the Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount becoming due, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.”
SECTION 2.06 Applicability of Certain Indenture Provisions.
The provisions of Article Thirteen of the Indenture relating to defeasance and covenant defeasance shall be applicable to the Notes and the provisions of Section 13.04 thereof shall, in addition to those sections of the Indenture specified in Section 13.04 thereof, apply with respect to the covenants specified in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
Solely for purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), the provisions of Section 5.10 of the Indenture are hereby expressly made applicable to the covenants specified in Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
Solely for purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), Section 8.02(h) of the Indenture shall be deemed to be replaced in its entirety with the following:
“(h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice thereof;”
SECTION 2.07 Additional Amounts.

| 8 |
| (8) | which is subject to such taxes by reason of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes being an entity in respect of which the Company is a “specified entity” as defined in proposals to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada) on April 29, 2022 with respect to “hybrid mismatch arrangements” or substantially analogous provisions of any liability enacted amendment to the Income Tax Act (Canada); or |
| (9) | which is subject to Canadian Taxes by reason of any combination of (1) through (8) above.” |
Solely for purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), the second paragraph of Section 5.08(a) of the Indenture immediately following clause (9) of the first paragraph of Section 5.08(a) shall be deemed to be deleted in its entirety.

So long as the Notes shall remain Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (except to the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and in full operation for more than 365 days, with the intention of taking back a lease of such property (except a lease for a term of no more than three years entered into with the intent that the use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such term) (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) unless either (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01, to incur Secured Debt equal in amount to the amount realized or to be realized upon such sale or transfer secured by a Security Interest on the Principal Property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes or (b) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the value of the Principal Property so leased to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement), within 365 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding indebtedness for money borrowed of Unrestricted Subsidiaries) as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company and which, in the case of such indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company, is not subordinated to the Notes; provided, however, that in lieu of applying all or any part of such amount to such retirement, the Company may at its option (x) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Debt Securities of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Notes) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (y) receive credit for Debt Securities of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Notes) theretofore redeemed at its option. If the Company shall so deliver Debt Securities to the Trustee (or receive credit for Debt Securities so delivered), the amount which the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of indebtedness pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities.
SECTION 3.03 Restrictions on Transfer of Principal Property to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
So long as the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will not itself, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer (whether by merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) Principal Property that has a gross book value (without deduction for any depreciation reserves) at the date as of which the determination is being made in excess of two percent of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless it shall apply, within one year after the effective date of such transaction, or shall have committed within one year after such effective date to apply, an amount equal to the fair value of such Principal Property at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors, (a) to the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or, upon, such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or Properties or a part thereof, (b) to the redemption of Debt Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, (c) to the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such indebtedness owed to any Restricted Subsidiary or any subordinated indebtedness of the Company), or (d) in part to an acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment, in each case as set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above; provided that, in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of such fair value to such redemption, the Company may, within one year after such transfer, deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities (other than Debt Securities made the basis of a reduction in a mandatory sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Indenture) for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to clause (b) above by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities so delivered. The fair value of any Principal Property for purposes of this Section 3.03 will be as determined by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 3.04 Right to Require Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole in accordance with the Indenture by giving irrevocable notice to the Holders in accordance with the Indenture, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall give a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, in the case of Notes issued and held in certificated form, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or in the case of Notes held in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities and beneficial interests therein held in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream, by book-entry transfer in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
On the Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful at or prior to 5:00 p.m., London time, deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and
| 12 |
(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company must comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall be required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.04 by virtue of any such conflict.
SECTION 4.01 Applicability of Article Four of the Indenture.
The provisions of Article Four of the Indenture shall be applicable with respect to the Notes.
(a) Solely for purposes of the notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), the first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 4.02 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Indenture and in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall fix a date for redemption and the Company, or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall give a notice of such redemption at least 30 and nor more than 60 days (or, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 5.08(b), at least 15 and no more than 45 days) prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part by first-class mail at their last addresses as the sane appear on the Debt Securities Register or electronic delivery or transmission in accordance with the procedures of the Depository.”
(b) Solely for purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Debt Securities), the second and third sentences of the third paragraph of Section 4.02 of the Indenture are hereby amended and restated as follows:
“If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected from the Notes Outstanding not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (if the Notes are issued and held in certificated form) or, if the Notes are issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities and beneficial interests therein are held in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream, in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be; provided that unredeemed portions of any Notes redeemed in part shall remain in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.”
| 13 |
SECTION 4.02 Redemption at the Option of the Company.
The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to the Initial Par Call Date, at its option, at the Redemption Price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and
(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the Initial Par Call Date but for the redemption (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 30 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
On or after the Initial Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Unless the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such date.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario (herein referred to as the “Company” which term includes any successor entity under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK DEPOSITORY (NOMINEES) LIMITED, or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of €________________, as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Debt Security attached hereto, on March 17, 2032 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from March 17, 2023 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on March 17 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 17, 2024, at the rate of 4.375% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the Primary Market Handbook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention. The Company will pay, to the extent lawful, interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law) on overdue principal and interest at the rate per annum borne by the Notes.
Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in London, in Euro, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. The Company, however, may pay principal and interest by check payable in such money. At the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register; provided that, notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if the Notes are issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities and are held in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream, payments on the Notes will be made to the Common Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the arrangements then in effect between the Common Depositary and Euroclear and Clearstream.
In any case where any Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date or any earlier date of redemption or repurchase of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then the related payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or on the Stated Maturity Date or such earlier date of redemption or repurchase, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date or such earlier date of redemption or repurchase, as the case may be, to such Business Day. For purposes of the Notes, the term “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, (i) which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the TARGET2 system) or any successor thereto (including the real-time gross settlement system referred to as T2), is open.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[Reverse of Note]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Company designated as its “4.375% Senior Notes due 2032” (herein called the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €550,000,000 issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 16, 2014, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Note is a part), as amended and supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 17, 2023, among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent (such Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, and as hereafter amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent that any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this Note will govern and be controlling (to the extent permitted by law). All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The Notes will be redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice (except in a case of a redemption pursuant to Section 5.08(b) of the Indenture, in which notice shall not be less than 15 nor more than 45 days), on any date prior to the Stated Maturity Date at a Redemption Price, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, which includes accrued interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such methods, as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate or, if the Notes are issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities and beneficial interests therein are held in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream, in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation of this Note; provided that the unredeemed portion hereof shall be in an authorized denomination.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of any series under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all such securities of that series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture with respect to such series and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of the Notes, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Notes.
| A-4 |
No sinking fund will be established with respect to the Notes and the Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund payments.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect of the Notes and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, subject to compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Notes or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on the Notes, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
The Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
