Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

8

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Notes Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Notes, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes at the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken based on such record date previously set. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 4.2, (ii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 4.7 or (iii) any direction referred to in Section 4.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes at the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken based on such record date previously set. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount of such Note.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, 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 e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event or any other communication (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary.

SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, at his address as it appears in the Notes Register or otherwise sent in accordance with the procedures of DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 1.8. Successors and Assigns.

SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 1.11. Governing Law.

This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 1.12. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.

(a) The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New York State or the federal courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Note. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, it irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder or under any Note. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment or in any manner provided by law, provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner specified in the following paragraph or as otherwise permitted by law.

(b) As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in The City of New York upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Note. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the offices of such agent. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. has accepted such appointment as agent for service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, with prior written notice to the Trustee, terminate the appointment of such agent and appoint another agent for the above purposes so that the Company shall at all times have an agent for the above purposes in The City of New York.

13

(c) The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any requirement or other provision of law, rule, regulation or practice which requires or otherwise establishes as a condition to the institution, prosecution or completion of any suit, action or proceeding (including appeals) arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Note, the posting of any bond or the furnishing, directly or indirectly, of any other security.

SECTION 1.13. Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE HOLDERS BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 1.14. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

In any case in which any Interest Payment Date of a series of Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then (unless otherwise specified in the Notes of such series) payment of principal or interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment made pursuant to the preceding sentence on such next succeeding Business Day shall have the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no additional interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period after such date.

SECTION 1.15. Communications by Holders with Other Holders.

Within five Business Days of receipt of a written application by a Holder stating that such Holder desires to communicate with other Holders of Notes, the Trustee, provided it has received a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applying Holder proposes to transmit and proof reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such Holder has owned Notes for a period of at least six months prior to such request, shall either (i) afford the applying Holder access to the requested information or (ii) transmit copies of the communication prepared by the applying Holder to the registered Holders at the expense of such applying Holder.

SECTION 1.16. English Language.

All certificates, opinions, notices, consents, requests or other documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto shall be in the English language.

SECTION 1.17. Counterparts.

This Indenture may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture and signature pages for all purposes.

14

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Indenture or any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be on the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

SECTION 1.18. Conflict with any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act.

If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision included in this Indenture by operation of Sections 310 to and including 317 of the Trust Indenture Act (an “Incorporated Provision”), such Incorporated Provision shall control.

SECTION 1.19. Force Majeure

In no event shall the Trustee or any Agents be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 1.20. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

(a) Mutual Undertaking Regarding Information Reporting and Collection Obligations. Each party hereto shall, within ten Business Days of a written request by another party, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to it, its operations, or the Notes as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other party reasonably promptly in the event that it becomes aware that any of the forms, documentation or other information provided by such party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Section 1.20 to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such party and cannot be obtained by such party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality. For purposes of this Section 1.20, “Applicable Law” shall be deemed to include (i) any rule or practice of any Authority by which any party is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (ii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any agreement between any Authority and any party that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature.

15

(b) Notice of Possible Withholding Under FATCA. The Company shall notify the Trustee and each Agent in the event that it determines that any payment to be made by the Trustee or an Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Company’s obligation under this Section 1.20(b) shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Company, such Notes, or both.

(c) Agent Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Company the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Company shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 1.20.

(ii) such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability;

(iii) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes by the Company have been complied with; and

(iv) covers such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action will materially and adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture.

SECTION 2.5. Registrar, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Notes Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Notes Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes as herein provided. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts; provided, however, that there shall at all times be a transfer agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. There shall be only one Notes Registrar. The Notes Register will show the amount of the Notes, the date of issue, all subsequent transfers and changes of ownership in respect thereof and the names, tax identifying numbers (if relevant to a specific holder), addresses of the holders of the Notes and any payment instructions with respect thereto (if different from a holder’s registered address). The Trustee will also maintain a record which will include notations as to whether the Notes have been paid or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Notes, whether such Notes have been replaced. In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, such records will include notations of each Note so replaced, and the Note issued in replacement thereof. In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, such records will include notations of each Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled. The Trustee shall upon written request make the Notes Register and such records available, during normal office hours and on reasonable written notice, to the Company, or any Person authorized by the Company in writing, for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and, at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to such Persons all lists of Holders of Notes, their addresses and amounts of such holdings as they may request.

23

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all references in this Indenture to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee and Notes Registrar and (ii) every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct, rights or privileges of the Trustee or affecting the liability or offering protection, immunity or indemnity to the Trustee shall be deemed to apply with the same force and effect to the Trustee acting in its capacities as Notes Registrar and Paying Agent and to each agent of the Trustee employed to act hereunder.

Subject to this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, at the option of the Holder, Notes may be presented for exchange for other Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount or for registration of transfer by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and with the form of transfer thereon duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed, at the office of the Trustee or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes 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.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

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 Participants 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.

24

SECTION 2.6. Global Notes.

Each Global Note authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Note or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with the Depositary (“Participants”) or persons who hold interests through such Participants. Upon the issuance of a Global Note, the Depositary or its custodian shall credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Note to the accounts of its Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such ownership interests shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interests of Participants) or by any such Participant (with respect to interests of persons held by such Participants on their behalf). Payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in a Global Note may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by the Depositary from time to time. None of the Company, the Trustee or any of their respective agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depositary’s or any Participant’s records, policies or procedures relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a Global Note or for any other aspect of the relationship between the Depositary and its Participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any Note to the contrary, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or its nominee unless (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for a Global Note or has ceased to be qualified to act as such as required by this Indenture and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such non-qualification or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. All definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. In the event and for so long as definitive Notes are not issued to any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note after the occurrence of one of the events set forth above, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of a Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 4.7 or Section 4.8, the right of such owner to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such owner’s Notes as if such definitive Notes had been issued.

25

Except in the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph, as long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered Holder of a Global Note, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner and Holder of such Global Note (and of the Notes represented thereby) for all purposes under this Indenture and the Notes. Except in the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall not be entitled to have such Global Note or any Notes represented thereby registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of definitive Notes in exchange therefor and shall not be considered the owners or Holders of such Global Note (or any Notes represented thereby) for any purpose under this Indenture or the Notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note shall be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Indenture referred to herein and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream). All payments of interest on, principal of, or Additional Amounts on, a Global Note shall be made to or to the order of the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder thereof.

Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section Section 2.6, Section 2.8 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.7. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, from any losses or claims incurred in connection with the issuance of a new Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note of any series under this Section 2.8, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

26

Every new Note of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 in exchange for any mutilated Note or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.9. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Note of any series for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. In considering the interests of the Holders of Notes of any series while title to the Notes of such series is registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary, the Trustee may refer to any information made available to it by the Depositary as to the identity (either individually or by category) of its Participants or persons who hold interests through such Participants with entitlements to such Notes and may consider such interests as if such accountholders were the Holders of such Notes. For the purposes of enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture against the Trustee, the persons named in a certificate of the Holder of any Global Note in respect of which a global certificate is issued shall be recognized as the beneficiaries of this Indenture, to the extent of the principal amounts of their interests in the Notes set out in the certificate of the Holder, as if they were themselves the Holders of such Notes in such principal amounts.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes (and all Notes paid in full at final maturity thereof) held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary practices.

27

SECTION 2.11. Japanese Withholding Taxes.

(a) In compliance with Japanese tax laws and the practices of tax authorities in Japan, in respect of any interest payment on a series of Notes issued in global or book-entry form pursuant to this Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto, any Paying Agent shall act in accordance with the procedures and forms set out in the DTC Procedures if DTC is acting as clearing organization, or the ICMA Procedures if Euroclear and/or Clearstream is acting as clearing organization, with respect to such series or with respect to depositary interests representing the Notes of such series, or in accordance with such other similar procedures as may be established by another clearing organization. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, any such Paying Agent shall be responsible only for performing such services as are specifically provided for in the DTC Procedures, the ICMA Procedures or such other procedures actually known by the Paying Agent, as applicable and as may be amended or modified and communicated to the Paying Agent from time to time. Any such Paying Agent and the Company may rely on the information provided in the claim for exemption from Japanese withholding taxes and other documentation in the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary. If any interest payment on a series of Notes is due to be made hereunder, and if and so long as payments of interest (if any) by the Company to any Paying Agent may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Japanese tax only upon receipt of Tax Documentation, the relevant Paying Agent at the direction of the Company, shall (i) accept delivery of the required Tax Documentation from the clearing organization (or Holders of the Notes, if definitive Notes representing such series of Notes have been issued); (ii) provide to the Company any required confirmations of information available to it; and (iii) deliver such Tax Documentation to, or on the written order of, the Company via facsimile or electronic mail no later than two Business Days after the Paying Agent has received such Tax Documentation and, where originals have been received by the Paying Agent, followed by first class mail or express courier at the address stipulated in Section 1.5, for filing with the relevant Japanese district tax office. Any such Paying Agent may rely on the information provided in Tax Documentation (including, where relevant, supporting documentation) in the absence of actual knowledge that such information is incorrect.

(b) If a Holder of the Notes or the holder of a depositary interest representing the Notes satisfies the requirements for claiming an exemption from Japanese withholding tax after the date on which an amount in respect of such tax is withheld and before the date on which the tax is actually paid to the Japanese tax authorities, then the Company or the Paying Agent acting at the direction of the Company may, to the extent reasonably practicable, repay the amount withheld (after deduction of reasonable costs, including amounts in respect of changes in foreign exchange rates) to the Holder,

(c) The Paying Agent shall furnish forms of certifications to Holders upon request, and shall use reasonable endeavours to assist Holders in claiming available exemptions, but shall not be liable for a Holder’s failure to qualify for such an exemption. Neither the Company nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for any withholding of tax arising as a result of a late delivery of the required Tax Documentation or incorrectly completed Tax Documentation. Based on the Tax Documentation received, the Paying Agent will make the appropriate calculations of interest payable after making the relevant deductions in accordance with this Section 2.11. Any tax to be deducted will be calculated at a rate of 15.315% unless and until the Company informs the Paying Agent otherwise. The Paying Agent will remit all amounts of tax withheld under this Section 2.11 to or to the order of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable pursuant to written instructions of the Company to remit such amounts, in order to enable the Company to make the necessary payments to the relevant tax office in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. The Paying Agent shall retain copies of Tax Documentation for a period of five years from the date of receipt and shall make such documentation available for inspection by the Company and any relevant tax authorities in Japan upon written request given in reasonable notice from the Company.

28

SECTION 2.12. Japanese Withholding Tax Legend.

Each Global Note and each definitive Note issued for exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall bear the following legend relating to Japanese withholding tax:

“INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THIS NOTE GENERALLY WILL BE SUBJECT TO JAPANESE WITHHOLDING TAX UNLESS IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT THIS NOTE IS HELD BY OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS (I) FOR JAPANESE TAX PURPOSES, NEITHER AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A JAPANESE CORPORATION, NOR AN INDIVIDUAL NON-RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A NON-JAPANESE CORPORATION THAT IN EITHER CASE IS A PERSON HAVING A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY AS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE 6, PARAGRAPH (4) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL MEASURES CONCERNING TAXATION OF JAPAN (ACT NO. 26 OF 1957, AS AMENDED) (THE “ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES”) (A “SPECIALLY-RELATED PERSON OF THE COMPANY”), (II) A JAPANESE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR A JAPANESE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BUSINESS OPERATOR DESIGNATED IN ARTICLE 3-2-2, PARAGRAPH (29) OF THE CABINET ORDER (CABINET ORDER NO. 43 OF 1957, AS AMENDED) RELATING TO THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR TAX EXEMPTION UNDER ARTICLE 6, PARAGRAPH (9) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES OR (III) A PUBLIC CORPORATION, A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR A FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BUSINESS OPERATOR, ETC. DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE 3-3, PARAGRAPH (6) OF THE ACT ON SPECIAL TAXATION MEASURES WHICH HAS RECEIVED SUCH PAYMENTS THROUGH A PAYMENT HANDLING AGENT IN JAPAN AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (1) OF SAID ARTICLE AND COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR TAX EXEMPTION UNDER PARAGRAPH (6) OF SAID ARTICLE.

INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THIS NOTE TO AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT OF JAPAN, TO A JAPANESE CORPORATION NOT DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, OR TO AN INDIVIDUAL NON-RESIDENT OF JAPAN OR A NON-JAPANESE CORPORATION THAT IN EITHER CASE IS A SPECIALLY-RELATED PERSON OF THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO DEDUCTION IN RESPECT OF JAPANESE INCOME TAX AT THE TIME OF SUCH INTEREST PAYMENTS.”

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes of any series may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers if then generally in use, and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption of Notes of such series as a convenience to 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 as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

29

SECTION 3.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

The Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

30

SECTION 3.2. Application of Trust Money.

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

ARTICLE IV

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 4.1. Event of Default.

Unless otherwise established hereunder or by any applicable supplemental indenture, an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes of any series shall mean any one of the following events which 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):

1. default shall be made for more than seven days in the payment of principal or for more than 30 days in the payment of interest in respect of any of the Notes of such series; or

2. the Company defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant, condition or provision contained in the Notes of such series or in this Indenture for a period of 90 days after written notification requesting such default to be remedied by the Company shall first have been given to the Company (and to the Trustee in the case of notice by the Holders referred to below) by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes of such series (such notification must specify the Event of Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notification is a “Notice of Default” hereunder); or

31

3. the Company shall have become bound as a consequence of a default by it in its obligations in respect of any indebtedness for borrowed moneys having a total principal amount then outstanding of at least $200,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) contracted or incurred by it prematurely to repay the same, or the Company shall have defaulted in the repayment of any such indebtedness contracted or incurred by it at the later of the maturity thereof or the expiration of any applicable grace period therefor, or the Company shall have failed to pay when properly called upon to do so, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any guarantee contracted or incurred by it of any such indebtedness in accordance with the terms of any such guarantee; provided, however, that, prior to any judgment, if any such default under such indebtedness shall be cured by the Company, or be waived by the holders of such indebtedness, in each case as may be permitted under the terms of such indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason of such default shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured or waived; or

4. a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be made or an effective resolution of the Company shall be passed for the winding-up or dissolution of the Company except for the purposes of or pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction under which the continuing corporation or the corporation formed as a result thereof effectively assumes the entire obligations of the Company under this Indenture in relation to the Notes of such series; or

5. an encumbrancer shall have taken possession, or a trustee or receiver shall have been appointed, in bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency of the Company, of all or substantially all of its assets and undertakings and such possession or appointment shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

6. the Company shall stop payment (within the meaning of the bankruptcy law of Japan) or (otherwise than for the purposes of such a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction as is referred to in paragraph 4 above) shall cease to carry on business or shall be unable to pay its debts generally as and when they fall due; or

7. a decree or order by any court having jurisdiction shall have been issued adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition seeking with respect to the Company reorganization or liquidation under bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency law of Japan, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

8. the Company shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency law of Japan or shall make a conveyance or assignment for the benefit of, or shall enter into any composition with, its creditors generally.

32

SECTION 4.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series occurs and is continuing, then in every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(7) or Section 4.1(8)) the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of each affected series may declare the principal amount of all the Notes of such affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 4.1(7) or Section 4.1(8) with respect to the Company, the principal of and interest on all outstanding notes will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(A) all overdue interest on all Notes of such series,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Notes of any series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes of such series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

33

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note of any series at the maturity thereof and such default continues for a period of seven days,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, if any, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 4.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes of any series), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company upon the Notes of any series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation and the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.6.

No provision of this Indenture 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 the Notes of any series 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; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

34

SECTION 4.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such 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 such Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 4.6. Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Notes of any series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 5.6; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes of such series (including Additional Amounts, if any) 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 for principal and interest, respectively.

SECTION 4.7. Limitation on Suits.

Other than the right to institute a suit for the enforcement of the payment of principal of, or interest on (including, in each case, any Additional Amounts, if applicable), any Notes of any series after the applicable due date specified in the Notes of such series, no Holder of any Note of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each affected series.

35

No one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 4.8. Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note of any series, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, and interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 4.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 4.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.8 and as provided in Section 4.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 4.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

SECTION 4.12. Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of each series 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, provided that

36

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(2) the action so directed would not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability,

(3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(4) the Trustee shall not be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken, and

provided further that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to determine whether any such direction shall be in such conflict or so unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by Holders of Notes of any series.

SECTION 4.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of all affected series then outstanding under this Indenture relating to such Notes (voting together as a single class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such series, waive any past default hereunder, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.14. Trustee to Give Notice of Default.

The Trustee shall give to the Holders of any series, in the case of Notes registered in the Notes Register as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Notes Register, notice by mail or in accordance with the procedures of the relevant clearing system or Depositary (or by other means provided in a supplemental indenture hereto, pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate under which such series of Notes are issued or in the form of Note for such series) of all defaults known to the Trustee which have occurred with respect to such series, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section 4.14 being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default).

37

SECTION 4.15. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any such party litigant; provided that no court shall require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, the Trustee or any Holder or group of Holders holding in aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of a series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Outstanding Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note.

SECTION 4.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 5.4. May Hold Notes.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Notes Registrar or any other agent of the Trustee or the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Notes Registrar or such other agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances will the Trustee or any Agent be liable to the Company or any other party to this Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (inter alia, being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit); in each case however caused or arising and whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee or the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract or otherwise.

The obligations of the Company to the Trustee under the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination of this Indenture and the payment in full of the Notes issued hereunder.

SECTION 5.7. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder. Each Trustee (including any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 5.8 below) shall be a Person that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and which is eligible for appointment as trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 5.7, 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 5.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 5.8. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.9.

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 5.9 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation (or within 30 days of the Trustee receiving a notice of removal pursuant to the provisions below), the resigning (or removed) Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Notes.

The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

42

If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder,

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged 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, (A) the Company may remove the Trustee or (B) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of a particular series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to a particular series and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the applicable series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 5.7. If a successor Trustee with respect to the applicable series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.9, become the successor Trustee with respect to the applicable series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.9 within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of a particular series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Company shall give notice, or shall cause the Notes Registrar to give notice, of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Notes of a particular series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 5.9. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties with respect to such series of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

43

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 5.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any bank or trust company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any bank or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such bank or trust company shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes of any series shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, consolidation or sale to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver such Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 5.11. Conflicting Interest.

The Trustee for the Notes shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time required thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Notes of any series, there shall be excluded Notes of any particular series of Notes other than that series.

(2) at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished;

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, SALE OR DISPOSITION

SECTION 7.1. Company May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

The Company may not merge or consolidate into any other Person (the Company not being the continuing entity) or sell, lease or dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety (including by way of a corporate split (kaisha bunkatsu)), whether as a single transaction or a number of transactions, related or not, to any Person unless (a) such Person assumes or succeeds the obligations of the Company under all series of Notes and this Indenture (and, if such Person is organized in a jurisdiction other than Japan, agrees to pay additional amounts in respect of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the jurisdiction of such Person, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, corresponding to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 9.5, substituting such jurisdiction for references to “Japan”) and (b) after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default with respect to any series of Notes under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (such permitted transaction, a “Succession Event”).

45

In connection with any such Succession Event, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such Succession Event and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this Section 7.1 and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture provided for or relating to such transaction have been complied with, and that this Indenture and the Notes are the legal, valid and binding obligation of such succeeding Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with their terms (subject to customary exceptions).

SECTION 7.2. Successor Substituted.

Upon any Succession Event in accordance with Section 7.1, such succeeding entity (the “Successor Person”) formed by such Succession Event shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.

ARTICLE VIII

(iii) change the redemption date or price at which Notes are redeemed,

(iv) affect the rights of Holders of less than all the Outstanding Notes,

(v) change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or interest thereon is payable, or

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 8.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

The Company hereby initially designates the office of the Paying Agent as specified in the Reverse of Note as the office or agency for each such purpose.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes of a series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

48

With respect to any Global Note, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Note as contemplated by Section 2.6, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the place of payment where such Global Note may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Notes may be delivered in exchange therefor, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Note shall be deemed to have been effected at the place of payment for such Global Note in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 9.3. Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a Paying Agent, a sum for value each due date sufficient to pay the principal of or interest (or Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes of any series, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. The Company shall deposit all such sums to the Paying Agent by 10:00 A.M. New York City time (or such other time as agreed in writing between the Company and Paying Agent) on the relevant payment date. Promptly following the transfer of amounts for payment of principal, interest or Additional Amounts, the Company shall confirm such payment, or procure confirmation by authenticated SWIFT message from the bank making such payment, to the Paying Agent.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest on Notes of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, (2) give the Trustee prompt written notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal or interest on the Notes and (3) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes of such series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes of such series.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest or Additional Amounts (if applicable) on any Note of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, interest or Additional Amounts have become due and payable and paid to the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, be paid by the Trustee or such Paying Agent to the Company and, to the extent permitted by law, the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

49

SECTION 9.4. Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, reasonably promptly after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of (i) any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse or time or both, would constitute an Event of Default or (ii) any default in the performance by the Company of any obligation under the Notes or this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof or within 10 Business Days of any request by the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions under this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and if the Company shall be in default specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which the signer may have knowledge. As of the date hereof, the fiscal year of the Company ends on March 31 of each calendar year.

SECTION 9.5. Additional Amounts.

Except as otherwise established for a series of Notes in an Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the authority. In such event, the Company shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by the Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Notes under any of the following circumstances:

(i) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Notes by reason of its (A) having some present or former connection with Japan other than the mere holding of such Notes or (B) being a person having a special relationship with the Company (a “specially-related person of the Company”) as described in Article 6, paragraph (4) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (together with the cabinet order thereunder (Cabinet Order No. 43 of 1957, as amended), the “Act on Special Taxation Measures”);

50

(ii) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information (as defined below) or to submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption (as defined below) to the relevant Paying Agent to whom the relevant Notes are presented (where presentation is required), or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the relevant Participant (as defined below) and the relevant international clearing organization to such Paying Agent;

(iii) the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined below) that complies with the requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption and (B) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies (directly, through the Participant or otherwise) the relevant Paying Agent of its status as not being subject to Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Company by reason of receipt by such individual resident of Japan or Japanese corporation of interest on such Notes through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it);

(iv) the Note is presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the day on which such payment on the Notes became due or after the full payment was provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

(v) the Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Note, and Japanese law requires the payment to be included for tax purposes in the income of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner, in each case, who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of such Note; or

(vi) any combination of (i) through (v) above.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any other person shall be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed on or in respect of any Note pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commonly referred to as FATCA, any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance implementing FATCA, or any agreement between the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or any other Person and the United States, any other jurisdiction, or any authority of any of the foregoing implementing FATCA.

51

Where the Notes are held through a participant of an international clearing organization or a financial intermediary (each, within this Section 9.5, referred to as a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of the Notes is (a) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Company) or (b) a Japanese financial institution or a Japanese financial instruments business operator (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Taxation Measures, all in accordance with the Act on Special Taxation Measures, such beneficial owner of the Notes must, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of the relevant Notes, provide certain information prescribed by the Act on Special Taxation Measures (“Interest Recipient Information”) to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted, and advise the Participant if the beneficial owner of the Notes ceases to be so exempted (including the case where a beneficial owner of the Notes that is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation becomes a specially-related person of the Company).

Where Notes are not held by a Participant, in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of the Notes is (a) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Company) or (b) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act on Special Taxation Measures, such beneficial owner must, prior to each time at which it receives interest, submit to the relevant Paying Agent a written application for tax exemption (hikazei tekiyo shinkokusho) (“Written Application for Tax Exemption”) in a form obtainable from the Paying Agent stating, inter alia, the name and address of the beneficial owner, the title of the Notes, the relevant Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest and the fact that the beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Written Application for Tax Exemption, together with documentary evidence regarding its identity and residence.

The Company shall make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount withheld or deducted to the Japanese taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge so withheld or deducted from the Japanese taxing authority imposing such tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge, and if certified copies are not available, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall make such certified copies or other evidence available to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes upon reasonable request to the Trustee.

The obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges shall not apply to (A) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge or (B) any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments of principal or interest on the Notes; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Notes and in this Indenture, the Company will pay all stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by Japan, the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein, with respect to this Indenture or as a consequence of the initial issuance, execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of the Notes.

References to principal or interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts due which may be payable as set forth in the Notes and this Indenture.

52

SECTION 9.6. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 5.8, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 9.7. Indemnification of Judgment Currency.

The Company agrees to indemnify each Holder to the full extent permitted by applicable law against any loss incurred by such Holder as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under such Note and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars, euros or such other currency in which the relevant series of Notes is denominated, as the case may be (the “Required Currency”) and as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange at which the Required Currency is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the spot rate of exchange in The City of New York, in the case of U.S. dollars, London, in the case of euros, or such other city as designated in the form of Note for such series, in case of any other currency, at which the Holder on the date that payment is made pursuant to such judgment or order is able to purchase the Required Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Holder. The Company’s obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

SECTION 9.8. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.9. Reports by the Company.

For as long as any Notes of any series are Outstanding, the Company will promptly furnish to the Trustee (A) such other documents, reports and information as shall be furnished by the Company to its security holders generally; (B) within six months after the end of each fiscal year, an annual report in English including a consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, surplus and cash flows of the Company audited by independent public accountants and prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards; and (C) as soon as practicable after the end of each interim period (other than the last interim period of a fiscal year) an interim report in English including financial statements of the Company (or, if consolidated financial statements are prepared, its consolidated financial statements).

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

53

SECTION 9.10. Reports by the Trustee.

Any Trustee’s report required under Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be transmitted on or before April 1 in each year following the date hereof, so long as any Notes of any series are Outstanding, and shall be dated as of a date convenient to the Trustee no more than 60 nor less than 45 days prior thereto.

SECTION 9.11. Annual Compliance Certificate.

So long as any Notes of any series are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee within 180 days of the end of the Company’s fiscal year each year (beginning with the year following the first issuance of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture) a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 1.2) from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture), which certificate shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act

SECTION 9.12. Negative Pledge.

So long as any Notes remain outstanding under this Indenture, the Company shall not, and shall procure that none of its Principal Subsidiaries shall, create or permit to subsist any Lien on any of its, or, as the case may be, such Principal Subsidiary’s, property, assets or revenues, present or future, to secure for the benefit of the holders of Public External Indebtedness payment of any sum owing in respect of any such Public External Indebtedness, any payment under any guarantee of any such Public External Indebtedness or any payment under any indemnity or other like obligation relating to any such Public External Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure all Notes under this Indenture equally and ratably with such Public External Indebtedness with a similar Lien on the same property, assets or revenues securing such Public External Indebtedness for so long as such Public External Indebtedness are secured by such Lien.

If by reason of any cause, it shall be impracticable to give notice to the Holder in the manner prescribed herein, then such notification in lieu thereof as shall be made by the Company or by the Trustee on behalf of and at the instruction of the Company (as set forth below) shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such notification shall, so far as may be practicable, approximate the terms and conditions of the notice in lieu of which it is given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice of redemption given to the Holder of any other Note of any series shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to such Note.

Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose payment date is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to their terms.

56

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the terms of the Note.
