Any references in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable with respect to the Notes shall be deemed to include Additional Amounts, as the context shall require.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), if the Company shall be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts shall be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee or other paying agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders of such Notes on the payment date. The Company shall make copies of such certificate, as well as copies of tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the associated taxes or other charges, available to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes upon written request.

In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to this Ninth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Company agrees (i) to provide to the Paying Agent sufficient information about the parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms

9

of such transactions) so that the Paying Agent can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Paying Agent shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Paying Agent for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with Applicable Law. The terms of this section shall survive the termination for any reason of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture or the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes.

Section 2.7 Global Notes. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of a permanent Global Security or Global Securities in fully registered form and shall initially be deposited with and registered in the name of a nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as the common depository, for the accounts of Euroclear/Clearstream as Depositary or such other Depositary as any officer of the company may from time to time designate. Unless and until each such Global Security is exchanged for the Notes in certificated form, each Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made only to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global Note will be registered in the name or names that the Depositary gives to the Trustee or relevant agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Company expects that the Depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global Note that had been held by the Depositary. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a global Note and will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such global Note pursuant to the procedure described above.

ORIGINAL ISSUE OF THE NOTES

Section 4.1 Additional Notes. The Notes are initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €550,000,000. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the existing Holders of Notes, increase the principal amount of Notes by creating and issuing additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for any differences in the issue date, issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and, in some cases, the first Interest Payment Date. The Additional Notes shall be fungible for United States federal income tax purposes with, and shall have the same ISIN and CUSIP numbers as, the Notes. Any Additional Notes issued at the Company’s determination and in accordance with provisions of the Indenture shall be consolidated with and form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, for purposes of determining whether the required percentage of the Holders of record has given approval or consent to an amendment or waiver or joined in directing the Trustee to take certain actions on behalf of all Holders. The aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes shall be unlimited.

Section 4.2 Issuance in Euros. Initial Holders will be required to pay for the Notes in euros, and all payments of principal of, the Redemption Price (if any), Change of Control Payments (if any), and interest and Additional Amounts (if any), on the Notes, will be payable in euros; provided, however, that if, on or after the date of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the

13

international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any references elsewhere in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to payments being made in euros notwithstanding, payments shall be made in U.S. dollars to the extent set forth in this Section 4.2.

Section 8.7 Counterparts. This Ninth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 8.8 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the latter provision shall control.

Section 8.10 Electronic Means. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”), pursuant to this Indenture and related documents sent by Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee and Paying Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) or directions and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee or Paying Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee or Paying Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s or Paying Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee and Paying Agent, as applicable, cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee and Paying Agent, as applicable, shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee or Paying Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee and Paying Agent, as applicable, shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from its reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees (i) to assume all risks arising out of its use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee or Paying Agent including the risk of the Trustee or Paying acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee or Paying Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv)

21

to notify the Trustee and Paying Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 8.11 Sanctions Representations. (a) The Company covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers are the target or subject of Sanctions.

(b) The Company covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers will use any payments made pursuant to the Indenture or the Notes (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject or target of Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business in any country or territory that is the target or subject of Sanctions, or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any person.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of a series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €550,000,000.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice delivered electronically in accordance with the policies and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, or otherwise by mail, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, from time to time. If the Securities of this series are redeemed before the Par Call Date, the Securities shall be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities then outstanding to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption and, for purposes of the calculation, assuming that the Securities of this series would be redeemed on the Par Call Date) discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL ICMA) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 15 basis points (0.15%), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If the Securities of this series are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Securities may be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

For purposes of the redemption provisions, the following terms are applicable:

“Comparable Government Bond” means, with respect to the Securities of this series to be redeemed prior to the Par Call Date in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German Government Bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German Government Bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German Government Bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the gross redemption yield (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards) on the Comparable Government Bond on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, calculated on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company in accordance with generally accepted market practice at such time.

“German Government Bond” means a bond that is a direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany.

“Par Call Date” means August 12, 2033 (the date that is three months prior to the Notes Maturity Date).

If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected, in the case of global notes, in accordance with the policies and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, and in the case of certificated notes, by the Trustee by lot, but in either case consistent with any applicable listing standards. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for the Securities) shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Securities such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to a Holder who is not a United States person (as defined herein), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the Securities to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

(a) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ holds such Security), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary Holder, being considered as:

(1) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

(2) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Securities, the receipt of any payment

(3) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(b) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Securities, or a portion of the Securities, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(c) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities to comply with the Company’s request or a request of the Company’s agent to satisfy any certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(d) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent from the payment;

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

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

(g) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Security, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(h) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(i) in the case of any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h).

The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities. Except as specifically provided above and in Section 2.5 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

Any references in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Securities to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Securities shall be deemed to include Additional Amounts, as the context shall require.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to the date on which payment under or with respect to the Securities is due and payable, in which case it will be promptly thereafter), if the Company shall be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts shall be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee or other paying agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders of such Securities on the payment date. The Company shall make copies of such certificate, as well as copies of tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the associated taxes or other charges, available to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Securities upon written request.

As used herein and in Sections 2.5 and 3.2 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, and the term “United States person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation), partnership (or other entity taxable as a partnership) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described herein and in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Securities and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Securities on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Securities to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as described above, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to €1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein, provided that a Holder tendering Securities for repurchase only in part must retain not less than €100,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of

4

the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall electronically deliver or otherwise mail to Holders of the Securities, and furnish the Trustee with a copy thereof, a notice describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase the Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), setting forth the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased and stating that a Holder may elect to have such Securities purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below, or a comparable form, together with any other procedures that a Holder must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance.

The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall be required, to the extent lawful: (a) to accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (b) to deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and (c) to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being repurchased.

The Company shall not be required to make the Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities 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 upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Securities, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture or the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of any such conflict.

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions, the following terms are applicable:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” as the term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (ii) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries,

5

taken as a whole, to one or more Persons (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control 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 (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, with respect to the Securities, the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company.

“Person” has the meaning set forth in the Indenture and includes a “person” or “group” as these terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

“Rating Agencies” means (i) each of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P; and (ii) if either of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Securities is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of: (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control; and (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control; provided, however, that a Rating 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 Rating 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Corporate Trust Office of 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 has occurred at the time of the Rating Event).

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and any successor to its rating agency business.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person

The Ninth Supplemental Indenture contains provisions for defeasance and discharge at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
