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

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

NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, REPRESENTS THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Certificate of Transfer has been checked and any transfers shall follow the procedures set forth in Section

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Company or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase, is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 or is about to be redeemed in accordance with Article 16 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at

any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or repurchase or redemption of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or redemption or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.09 Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.10 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. Prior to the Notes Fungibility Date, the Rule 144A Notes and the Regulation S Notes shall

have different “CUSIP” numbers. Following the Notes Fungibility Date, the Rule 144A Notes and the Regulation S Notes shall have the same “CUSIP” number.

Section 2.11 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number (or, if prior to the Fungibility Date, the same CUSIP numbers as the Rule 144A Notes or the Regulation S Notes, as applicable) as the Notes initially issued hereunder (except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued, if any) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal securities laws or income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number from both the Rule 144A Notes and the Regulation S Notes. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.06, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.09.

The Notes and any such Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.

The Company shall procure that on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date the bank through which such payment is to be made will send to the Paying Agent confirmation that it has received from the Company an irrevocable instruction to make the relevant payment (by facsimile transmission or SWIFT).

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment, repurchase or redemption (“Paying Agent”) or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, 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. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

The Company hereby initially designates (i) Citibank, N.A., as the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the transfer agent and (ii) the Corporate Trust Office and the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York as an office or agency of the Company for purposes of this Section 4.02.

Section 4.04 Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company

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

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

(ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

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

The Company shall, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. Any deposit by the Company with the Paying Agent shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

To the extent the Paying Agent will act as the Company’s withholding agent with respect to any payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, the Company shall, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the due date of such payment, furnish the Paying Agent with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee as to any circumstances in which such payment shall be subject to deduction or withholding as described in Section 4.07 and the rate of any such deduction or withholding. The Company shall also specify in the Officers’ Certificate the amount required to be so withheld and the Additional Amounts, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall deposit such Additional Amounts, if any, with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

The Paying Agent shall not be bound to make payments under this Section 4.04 until funds in such amount required for such payments have been received from the Company.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient

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

(d) Any money and ADSs deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any Note (or, in the case of ADSs, in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation) and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid, or delivered, or the case may be, to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officers’ Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such trust money and ADSs, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, before being required to make any such repayment or delivery, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money and ADSs remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money and ADSs then remaining will be repaid or delivered to the Company.

Section 4.06 Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or the ADSs delivered upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or such ADSs the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or such ADSs pursuant to Rule 144A

under the Securities Act. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or such ADSs may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or such ADSs in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Company shall file with the Trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) as of the time such documents are filed with the Commission via the EDGAR system.

(c) The Company shall: (a) as soon as practicable, provide to the Trustee three copies in English of all notices, statements and other documents issued to holders of its Common Equity or its creditors (when such notifications, statements and other documents (or summary thereof) are required to be provided to all of such creditor(s) as a whole); provided that the Company may fulfill the requirement to furnish such notices, statements and other documents to the Trustee by making such notices, statements and other documents timely available on its website; and (b) maintain proper accounting records and permit Trustee access thereto and provide the Trustee audited accounts in the English language. The Trustee shall hold documents provided under this Section 4.06(c) for the sole purposes of facilitating Holders’ inspection and review thereof; the Trustee shall not be required to review or draw any conclusions and/or consequence therefrom.

(d) Delivery of the reports and documents described in subsections (b) and (c) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers’ Certificate).

(e) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 6-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Persons who were the Company’s Affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or for which the restrictions on transfer are applicable (ending on the date that is one year from the last original issuance date of the Notes). As used in this Section 4.06(e), documents or reports that the Company is required to “file” with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(f) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(c) has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Persons who were the Company’s Affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the restrictive legend on the Notes has been removed in accordance with Section 2.05(c), the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Persons who were the Company’s Affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes).

(g) Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes.

(h) The Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with Section 4.06(e) or Section 4.06(f) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election pursuant to Section 6.03.

(i) If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(e) or Section 4.06(f), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

(j) Nowithstanding the other provision of this Indenture, in no event will the rate of Additional Interest payable in accordance with Section 4.06(e) or Section 4.06(f) when taken together with Additional Interest payable under Section 6.03 exceed a total rate of 0.50% per annum.

(k) Nowithstanding the other provision of this Indenture but subject to Section 4.06(j), additional Interest will not accrue with respect to any failure to remove restrictive legends on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(c) or if the Notes are not freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Persons who were the Company’s Affiliates during the three immediately preceding months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), in each case as required under this Section 4.06, on any date on which (i) the Company has filed a shelf registration statement for the resale of the Notes, the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Class A Common Shares represented thereby; (ii) such shelf registration statement is effective and usable by Holders identified therein as selling security Holders for the resale of the notes, the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Class A Common Shares represented thereby; (iii) the Holders may register the resale of their Notes, ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Class A Common Shares represented thereby under such shelf registration statement on terms customary for the resale of convertible securities, or securities issued upon conversion thereof, offered in reliance on Rule 144A; and (iv) the

Notes, ADSs or Class A Common Shares, as applicable, sold pursuant to such shelf registration statement become freely tradable as a result of such sale.

In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Company or any successor to the Company shall pay to each Holder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the Additional Amounts) shall equal the amounts that would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(i) for or on account of:

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

(1) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than merely holding such Note or the receipt of payments or ADSs or the enforcement of rights thereunder, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

(3) the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from the Company, addressed to the Holder or

beneficial owner, as the case may be, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or to make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder or beneficial owner and such Holder or beneficial owner is legally able to comply;

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

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

(E) any withholding or deduction required by sections 1471 through 1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), any current or future Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted to implement FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction to implement FATCA or any law enacted by such other jurisdiction to give effect to such agreement, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA; or

(F) any combination of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges referred to in the preceding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E); or

(ii) with respect to any payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable), premium, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest, on, or delivery of ADSs with respect to, such Note to a Holder, if the Holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment or delivery to the extent that such payment or delivery would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the Holder thereof.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall also be entitled to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof.

The Company shall make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. Upon reasonable request, the Company shall provide certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such taxes, or if such tax receipts are not available, certified copies or other reasonable evidence of such payments as soon as reasonably practicable to the Trustee.

In the event that the Company is obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment on, or delivery of ADSs with respect to the Notes, at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment or delivery, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable and such other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts on the relevant payment or delivery date (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 30 days prior to the relevant payment or delivery date, in which case the Company shall deliver such Officer’s Certificate as promptly as practicable thereafter). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.

The Company shall pay and indemnify each Holder and beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary taxes, or similar charges or levies (including any related interest or penalties with respect thereto) or any other excise, property or similar taxes or similar charges or levies (including any related interest or penalties with respect thereto) that arise in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, issuance, delivery, registration, enforcement or initial resale by the Initial Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement of, or payments under, the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (other than in each case those taxes excluded by subsections (i)(A), (B), (D), (E) and (F) and (ii) of this Section 4.07 and in connection with a transfer of Notes).

(c) The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer or conversion of the Notes by a Holder or beneficial owner, and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor to the Company.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company, the Trustee (in its absolute discretion) by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders accompanied by security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, all principal and accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, on the Notes will be due and payable immediately. However, upon an Event of Default as described in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) involving the Company, the aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, will be due and payable immediately without any further action required by the Trustee or Holders of the Notes.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal at the rate per annum borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the

immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the above or anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, including Additional Interest, if any, any Notes, the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, or the Repurchase Price on the Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, (ii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Indenture or (iii) in respect of any provision under this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Note affected.

Section 6.03 Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for Events of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall, for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (which will be the 60th day after written notice is provided to the Company in accordance with an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(g)), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to (a) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (ii) the 90th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred; and (b) if such Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived prior to the 91st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred, 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the 91st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (ii) the 180th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be payable on all outstanding Notes from, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (which will be the 60th day after written notice is provided to the Company in accordance with an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(g)) to, but excluding, the 181st day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with such requirements has been cured or waived or ceases to exist). On the 181st day following the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations under this Indenture, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 181st day, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. This Section 6.03 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default, and are separate and distinct from, and in addition to, the obligation to pay Additional Interest in the circumstances described in Section 4.06(e) or Section 4.06(f). To the extent the Company elects to pay Additional Interest, it will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes. If the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest

following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest on the Notes as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in this Indenture in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (which will be the 60th day after written notice is provided to the Company in accordance with an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(g)). If the Company fails to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. In no event will the rate of any Additional Interest payable under the immediately preceding paragraph, when taken together with that of Additional Interest payable as described under Section 4.06 exceed a total rate of 0.50% per annum.

Section 6.04 Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate per annum borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the properly incurred compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or

reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for properly incurred compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of properly incurred compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

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

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

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

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

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 and due to the Paying Agents, Conversion Agents and Note Registrar, including all fees, indemnity costs and expenses pursuant to the Registrar, Paying, Transfer and Conversion Agency Appointment Letter dated May 21, 2014;

Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate per annum borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, the Tax Redemption Price and any cash in lieu of fractional ADSs due upon conversion, if applicable) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable and payments of cash for any fractional ADSs due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable and payments of cash for any fractional ADSs due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

Section 6.06 Proceedings by Holders. Subject to Article 7 of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, tax, cost or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Tax Redemption Price on the Tax Redemption Date, the 2017 Repurchase Price on the 2017 Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, as herein provided;

(b) Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holders shall have offered the Trustee such security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, tax, cost or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;

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

(e) no direction that is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.09, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

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

Section 6.08 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to

direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to Notes; provided, however, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that (i) conflicts with law or with this Indenture, or (ii) that the Trustee determines unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee against all loses, liabilities, taxes, costs and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action and the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.09 to indemnify the Trustee shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes, the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may waive all past Defaults or Event of Default (except with respect to (i) nonpayment of principal of, or interest on, including Additional Interest, if any, any Note or in the payment of amounts due upon required purchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, on the 2017 Repurchase Date or upon redemption; (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with this Indenture upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right; or (iii) any provision under this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Note affected) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the uncured nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Notes or failure to deliver amounts due upon conversion that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or a Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which it is notified in writing, mail to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all Defaults of which it is notified in writing, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice.

Section 6.11 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of

Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

In case an Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs and shall be entitled to require all agents (including the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Transfer Agent) to act under its direction following a potential Event of Default or an Event of Default; provided that, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory in its sole discretion to it against any loss, liability, tax, cost or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability for actions taken at the direction of the requisite Holders.

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred;

(g) in the absence of a written agreement executed by the Company and the Trustee and written investment direction from the Company pursuant thereto, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for interest thereon, or the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Company; and

(h) in the event that the Trustee or an affiliate is also acting as Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 (including indemnity) shall also be afforded to such Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent.

(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform or delegate any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and

(g) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Default in the payment of principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof in the manner provided in this Indenture, which notice references the Notes and the Indenture.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise engage in other transactions with the Company including normal banking and trustee relationships, provided, however, that if the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar becomes aware that it has acquired any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign. Nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee, the Conversion Agent, the Notes Registrar or the Paying Agent to account for any profits earned from any business or transactional relationship. The Trustee may have interest in or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties. The Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and the Notes Registrar may do the same with like rights.

The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money or ADSs received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee, Payment Agents, Conversion Agents and Note Registrar. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, properly incurred compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between and executed by the Trustee and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances properly incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the properly incurred compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Any payment by the Company to the Trustee shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.06 shall be deemed to include its directors, officers, employees and agents) in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim (provided that the Company need not pay for settlement of any such claim made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), damage, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be

secured by a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. The obligation of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal or the Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

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

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

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

Section 7.09 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of himself and all others

similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

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

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

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

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

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

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

property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

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

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

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

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

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

writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01 Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders, or (d) pursuant to Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or the Depositary or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

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

Section 8.04 Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining

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

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

Such Continuing Entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Continuing Entity instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Continuing Entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Section 11.03 Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee. No consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of this Article 11.

ARTICLE 14

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 14.01 Conversion Privilege. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert all of any portion of their Notes at an initial conversion rate of 38.0431 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $26.29 per ADS) (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.04, the “Conversion Rate” and subject to the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).

Section 14.02 Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall (i) deliver to the converting Holder a number of ADSs equal to the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by $1,000 and (y) the applicable Conversion Rate and (ii) make a cash payment to the converting Holder in lieu of any fractional ADS in accordance with subsection (k) of this Section 14.02 based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not on a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

(b) Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date to which the Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(i) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, and provide an original signed notice of conversion with a medallion guaranty stamp on the back of the Note (a “Notice of Conversion”) and other appropriate clearing agency message and effect book-entry transfer or deliver the Notes, together with necessary endorsements and (ii) in the case of Physical Notes (1) complete and manually sign the Notice of Conversion, or a facsimile of the Notice of Conversion; (2) deliver the original Notice of Conversion with a medallion guaranty stamp, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any ADSs to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered; (3) if required by the Conversion Agent, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; (4) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and (5) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which

the Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(i). The Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion Agent), shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice or a 2017 Repurchase Notice, the Holder may not surrender that Note for conversion until the Holder has withdrawn the related repurchase notice in accordance with this Indenture. If the Company has designated a Tax Redemption Date, a Holder that complies with the requirements for conversion described in this Article 14 shall be deemed to have delivered a notice of its election to not have its Notes so redeemed.

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

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above provided that such procedures must be complied with on or prior to 2:00 pm (New York time) on a Business Day in order for the conversion to be processed on the same day. The Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of ADSs to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation.

(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion ; provided, however, that if a Holder converts Notes and receives ADSs that constitute Restricted Securities, the Holder shall be required to pay the Depositary’s fees associated with the removal of any restrictive legends required by Section 2.05 from any ADS issuable upon conversion and any assignment of an unrestricted CUSIP number to any ADS issuable upon conversion. The Depositary’s fees for which such Holder would be responsible for as of the date of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum is 10 cents per ADS.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the ADSs upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such ADSs to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The ADS Depositary may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the ADSs being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. The Company will pay the applicable fees and expenses of the Depository for the issuance of all ADSs deliverable upon conversion.

(f) The Company shall, and shall procure that the ADS Depositary shall, at all times maintain, for the benefit of the Holders, a number of ADSs available for distribution under a registration statement on Form F-6 equal to at least the maximum number of ADSs potentially required to satisfy conversion of the Notes from time to time as Notes are presented for conversion (with such maximum number of ADSs determined with the maximum number of additional ADSs added to the conversion rate).

(g) Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any ADSs issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.

(h) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(i) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s delivery to Holders of the ADSs, together with any cash payment for any fractional ADS, into which a Note is convertible, shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Note to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Note to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are converted after the close of business on any Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of the Notes at the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be made (1) for Notes converted following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the 2017 Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (4) if the Company has specified a Tax Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (5) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist, including any overdue interest, at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. For the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the 2017 Repurchase Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and any Tax Redemption Date described in this Section 14.02 shall receive the full payment of interest, if any, due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any ADSs delivered upon conversion is registered shall become the Holder of record of such ADSs as of the close of

business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.

(k) The Company shall not deliver any fractional ADSs upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional ADS issuable upon conversion based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date or, if such Conversion Date is not on a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day.

Section 14.03 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or Tax Redemption. (a) If (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date or (ii) the Company delivers a Tax Redemption Notice and in each case, a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or such Tax Redemption, as the case may be, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional ADSs (the “Additional ADSs”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to, and including, the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change). A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Tax Redemption if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date the Company delivers a Tax Redemption Notice to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Tax Redemption Date (or if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price (such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price)).

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall deliver ADSs, including the Additional ADSs, in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that, if the consideration for the ADSs in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the ADS Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per US$1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment as described in this Section 14.03), multiplied by such ADS Price. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.

(c) The number of Additional ADSs, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on (i) the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective or, in the case of a Tax Redemption, the Redemption Reference Date (in each case, the “Effective Date”) and (ii) the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per ADS in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or, in the case of a Tax Redemption, the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the

ADSs over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the applicable Redemption Reference Date (in each case, the “ADS Price”). If the holders of ADSs receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the ADS Price shall be the cash amount paid per ADS. Otherwise, the ADS Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the ADS Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such ten consecutive Trading-Day period.

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

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional ADSs by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change having the ADS Price and Effective Date set forth below:

	ADS Price
Effective Date	$20.22	$22.00	$24.00	$26.29	$28.00	$30.00	$35.00	$40.00	$45.00	$55.00	$65.00	$80.00
May 21, 2014	11.4128	9.6496	7.8641	6.2978	5.3700	4.4891	2.9443	1.9856	1.3628	0.6539	0.3026	0.0642
May 15, 2015	11.4128	9.7268	7.8026	6.1396	5.1691	4.2602	2.7048	1.7722	1.1850	0.5402	0.2341	0.0369
May 15, 2016	11.4128	9.6061	7.5111	5.7503	4.7499	3.8346	2.3264	1.4650	0.9437	0.3975	0.1534	0.0099
May 15, 2017	11.4128	8.5942	6.6388	4.9860	4.0462	3.1901	1.8068	1.0557	0.6304	0.2265	0.0669	0.0000
May 15, 2018	11.4128	8.1084	5.8343	3.9910	2.9978	2.1460	0.9376	0.4217	0.1982	0.0451	0.0002	0.0000
May 15, 2019	11.4128	7.4114	3.6236	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000

The exact ADS Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

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

(ii) if the ADS Price is greater than US$80.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional ADSs shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the ADS Price is less than US$20.22 per share (subject to adjustment

in the same manner as the ADS Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional ADSs shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate, as increased pursuant to this Section 14.03 by the number of Additional ADSs exceed 49.4559 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.

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

Section 14.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. If the number of Class A Common Shares represented by the ADSs is changed for any reason other than one or more of the events described in this Section 14.04, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the number of Class A Common Shares represented by the ADSs deliverable upon conversion of any Notes is not affected by such change.

Notwithstanding the adjustment provisions described in this Section 14.04, if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Shares any cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (but excluding Expiring Rights) and, in lieu of a corresponding distribution to holders of the ADSs, the ADSs shall instead represent, in addition to Class A Common Shares, such cash, rights, options, warrants, shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interest, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, then an adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in this Section 14.04 shall not be made unless and until a corresponding distribution (if any) is made to holders of the ADSs, and in which case such adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be based on the distribution made to the holders of the ADSs and not on the distribution made to the holders of the Class A Common Shares. However, in the event that the Company issues or distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Shares any Expiring Rights, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (in the case of Expiring Rights entitling holders of the Class A Common Shares for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Shares or ADSs) or Section 14.04(c) (in the case of all other Expiring Rights). “Expiring Rights” means any rights, options or warrants to purchase Class A Common Shares or ADSs that expire on or prior to the Maturity Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in this Section 14.04(a) to Section 14.04(e) (inclusive) results in a change to the number of Class A Common Shares represented by the ADSs, then such a change shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of such event to the extent, but only to the extent, to which such change to the number of Class A Common Shares represented by the ADSs reflects the adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise have been required on account of such event.

Subject to the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the

case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time for such adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a) If the Company exclusively issues Class A Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of its Class A Common Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		OS1
CR1 = CR0 x		OS0

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Adjustment Effective Date of such share split or combination, as applicable;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or the open of business on such Adjustment Effective Date;

OS0 = the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Adjustment Effective Date; and

OS1 = the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Adjustment Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all Holders of Class A Common Shares or ADSs any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Shares, at a price per Class A Common Share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares represented by one ADS on each such Trading Day), or to subscribe for or purchase the ADSs, at a price per ADS less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADS, in each case, over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the

Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		OS0 + X
CR1 = CR0 x		OS0 + Y

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

OS0 = the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

X = the total number of Class A Common Shares issuable (or represented by ADSs issuable) pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of Class A Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares then represented by one ADS) over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance.

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance. To the extent that the Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Class A Common Shares at a price per Class A Common Shares less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares represented by one ADS on each such Trading Day) or to subscribe for or purchase ADSs at a price per ADS less than such average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of ADSs, in such case, over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in

good faith.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Shares or ADSs, excluding (i) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment has been effected pursuant to Section 14.04(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs (as defined below) as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		SP0
CR1 = CR0 x		SP0 - FMV

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares then represented by one ADS on each such Trading Day) over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex- Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding Class A Common Share or with respect to each Class A Common Share represented by the outstanding ADSs, as applicable, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, in doing so it shall consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

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

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Shares of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of such dividend or other distribution) on a U.S. national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		FMV0 + MP0
CR1 = CR0 x		MP0

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

FMV0= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Class A Common Shares applicable to one Class A Common Share (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were ADSs) for each Trading Day during the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period beginning on, and including, the Effective Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares then represented by one ADS on each such Trading Day) over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off; provided that, in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 14.04(c) related to Spin-Offs to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with the greater of (i) such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, but excluding, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date and (ii) one Trading Day, in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Class A Common

Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Class A Common Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Class A Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Class A Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per Common Share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Class A Common Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Class A Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

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

(A) a dividend or distribution of Class A Common Shares to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

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

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made,

except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Class A Common Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Adjustment Effective Date, as applicable” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		SP0
CR1 = CR0 x		SP0 - C

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares represented by one ADS on such Trading Day) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex- Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per Class A Common Share the Company distributes to holders of its Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as applicable.

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

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

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Class A Common Shares or ADSs, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Class A Common Share or ADS exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by, in the case of Class A

Common Shares, the number of Class A Common Shares then represented by one ADS on such Trading Day) over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period beginning on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x		AC + (SP1 x OS1)
CR1 = CR0 x		OS0 x SP1

Where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in good faith) paid or payable for Class A Common Shares or ADSs purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0 = the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Class A Common Shares or ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS1 = the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all Class A Common Shares or ADSs accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP1 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the ADSs (divided by the number of Class A Common Shares then represented by one ADS on each such Trading Day) over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date (the “Averaging Period”).

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall be determined at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date but will be given effect immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date; provided that, in respect of any conversion within the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references in this Section 14.04(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate.

Without duplication of any of the foregoing adjustments, in the event of:

(1) any subdivision or split of the outstanding ADSs,

(2) any distribution of Additional ADSs to Holders of ADSs, or

(3) any combination of the outstanding ADSs into a smaller number of ADSs,

the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as of the open of business on the Effective Date for any such subdivision or combination, or as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend date for any such distribution, as the case may be, to be equal to the number of ADSs that a Holder of a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the Effective Date of any such subdivision or combination or the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, as the case may be, would hold immediately following such subdivision, distribution or combination.

(f) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Class A Common Shares or ADSs, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Shares or ADSs, or the right to purchase Class A Common Shares or ADSs or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

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

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

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

(ii) upon the issuance of any Class A Common Shares or ADSs or options or rights to purchase those Class A Common Shares or ADSs pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Company’s consolidated affiliated entities;

(iii) upon the issuance of any Class A Common Shares or ADSs pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not

described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) upon the issuance of any Class A Common Shares or ADSs not described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above that is not a transaction of the type described in Section 14.04, regardless of the price at which such Class A Common Shares or ADSs are issued;

(v) upon the repurchase of any Class A Common Shares or ADSs pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the type described in Section 14.04, including structured or derivative transactions;

(vi) a change solely in the par value of the Class A Common Shares; or

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

(i) Adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of an ADS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made (i) on the effective date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) on any Conversion Date and (iii) on any Redemption Reference Date. In addition, the Company shall not account for such deferrals when determining what number of the ADSs a Holder would have held on a given day had it converted its Notes.

(j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent of such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and file with the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, and the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of such adjustment to the Conversion Rate provided by the Company in such Officers’ Certificate. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, neither the Trustee, the Conversion Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has been notified by the Company is still in effect. Promptly after providing such notice and delivery of such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail within 5 Business Days of the date on which such adjustment of the Conversion Rate is made to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of this Indenture, provided that such notice shall not be required with regards to the adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04(g). Failure by the Company to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such Conversion Rate adjustment.

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

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) an adjustment to the Conversion Rate in respect of any dividend or distribution described in this Section 14.04 does not become effective prior to the Conversion Date for any Notes such that the relevant converting Holder receives, upon conversion, a number ADSs that does not reflect such adjustment to the Conversion Rate, and (2) the Record Date in respect of the ADSs due upon conversion for such dividend or distribution has occurred prior to the relevant Conversion Date, then, notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the Company shall pay or deliver to the relevant converting Holder, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the ADSs, the dividend or distribution that such converting Holder would have received had it held, on such Record Date, a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes converted by such Holder.

Section 14.05 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices or any functions thereof over a span of multiple days (including during the 10 Trading Day period used to determine the ADS Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the Redemption Reference Price for purposes of a conversion in connection with the Company’s election to redeem the notes in respect of a Change in Tax Law), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices or ADS Prices are to be calculated.

Section 14.06 Class A Common Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Shares or Class A Common Shares held in treasury, a sufficient number of Class A Common Shares that corresponds to the number of ADSs due upon conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of Class A Common Shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).

Section 14.07 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Class A Common Shares.

(a) In the event of:

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

(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to another third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the ADSs would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, the Company or the Continuing Entity, as the case may be, and any other issuer of securities that will be included in the Reference Property (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary for a depositary receipts program representing any such securities), shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes into a number of ADSs equal to the applicable Conversion Rate shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes based on the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of ADSs equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one ADS is entitled to receive in such Merger Event) upon such Merger Event, provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (i) any ADSs otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable units of Reference Property; and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Prices shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Merger Event causes the ADSs to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the composition of a unit of the Reference Property shall be deemed to be (A) the weighted average per ADS of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the ADSs that affirmatively make such an election or (B) if no holders of ADSs affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the ADSs, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one ADS. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 (it being understood that no such adjustments shall be required with respect to any portion of the Reference Property that does not consist of shares of Common Equity (however evidenced) or depositary receipts in respect thereof). If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary for a depositary receipts program representing any such securities), in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and provided that nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Company from causing such supplemental indenture to contain additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.

(b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee, the

Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into ADSs as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 14.08 Certain Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all ADSs issued upon conversion of Notes and all Class A Common Shares represented by such ADSs will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that, if any ADSs to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder or any Class A Common Shares represented by such ADSs require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that, if at any time the ADSs shall be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the ADSs shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 14.09 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee, the Conversion Agent, the Paying Agent and any other Conversion Agent other than Citibank, N.A. shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to perform calculations or to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any ADSs, or of any securities or other property, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto in this Indenture. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any ADSs, or the Class A Common Shares represented thereby, or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none

of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of ADSs or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) and Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent has any duty to determine how or when any adjustment described in Section 14.04 should be made. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for the failure of the Company to comply with this Indenture.

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

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

(b) Merger Event; or

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, of record shall be entitled to exchange their Class A Common Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 14.11 Stockholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan applicable to the ADSs in effect upon conversion of the Notes, on the applicable Conversion Date, the Holder of the Notes shall receive, in addition to any ADSs received in connection with such Conversion Date, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the ADSs, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all Holders of Class A Common Shares, Distributed Property as described in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 14.12 Termination of Depositary Receipt Program. If the Class A Common Shares cease to be represented by American Depositary Receipts issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company, all references in this Indenture to the ADSs related to the terms of the Notes shall be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to the number of Class A Common Shares represented by the ADSs on the last day on which the ADSs represented the Class A Common Shares (as adjusted, pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 14.12, for any other property the ADSs represented), as if the Class A Common Shares and the other property had been distributed to holders of the ADSs on that day.

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01 Repurchase at Option of Holders. (a) On May 15, 2017 (the “2017 Repurchase Date”), the Holder of Notes shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of their Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at a price (the “2017 Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, to, but not including, the 2017 Repurchase Date, provided that, such 2017 Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in which case the Company shall pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record as of the close of business on the corresponding Regular Record Date. Any Notes repurchased by the Company shall be paid for in cash.

(b) In connection with the repurchase of Notes on the 2017 Repurchase Date, the Company shall notify the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of Notes, not less than 20 Business Days prior to the 2017 Repurchase Date, of their right to require the Company to repurchase their Notes, the 2017 Repurchase Price, the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right, the name and address of the Paying Agent and the repurchase procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(c) Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the foregoing information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

(d) To exercise this repurchase right, the Holder must deliver, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the 2017 Repurchase Date, the Notes to be repurchased. If the Notes are held in global form, such delivery (and the related 2017 Repurchase Notice) must comply with all Applicable Procedures. Physical Notes must be duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written repurchase notice in the form entitled “Form of 2017 Repurchase Notice” on the reverse side of the Notes (the “2017 Repurchase Notice”) duly completed, to the Paying Agent. Each 2017 Repurchase Notice shall state:

(1) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(2) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(3) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the 2017 Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such 2017 Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the duly completed Business Day immediately preceding the 2017 Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any 2017 Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

No 2017 Repurchase Notice with respect to any Notes may be delivered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holders on the Repurchase Date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the 2017 Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the 2017 Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the 2017 Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including any Additional Interests to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates to the Holder of record as of the close of business on the corresponding Regular Record Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15. Any Notes repurchased by the Company shall be paid for in cash.

(b) To exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the Holder must deliver, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Notes to be repurchased. If the Notes are Global Notes, such delivery (and the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice) must comply with all Applicable Procedures. If the Notes are Physical Notes, such Notes must be duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written repurchase notice in the form entitled “Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice” on the reverse side of the Notes (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice”) duly completed, to the Paying Agent. Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice shall state:

(i) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be US$1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.

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

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

No Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to any Notes may be delivered and no Note may be surrendered by a Holder for repurchase thereof if such Holder has also surrendered a 2017 Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.01 and not validly withdrawn such 2017 Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

(c) On or before the 20th Business Day after the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right, if any. Such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary and state, among other things:

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

(d) Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

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

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes, or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.03 Withdrawal of 2017 Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice. (a) Holders of the Notes may withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice or the 2017 Repurchase Notice in whole or in part by a duly completed written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the 2017 Repurchase Date, as applicable.

Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice or the 2017 Repurchase Date, as applicable.

Any deposit by the Company with the Paying Agent shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn in accordance with Article 15) will be made on the later of (i) the 2017 Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, with respect to such Note (provided that the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.01 or Section 15.02, as the case may be) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.01 or Section 15.02, as applicable, by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the 2017 Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be.

(b) If by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the 2017 Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such 2017 Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, then on such 2017 Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be,

(i) the Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, will cease to accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Note is delivered to the Paying Agent; and

(ii) all other rights of the Holder will terminate other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the 2017 Repurchase Price, as applicable, and previously accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, upon delivery or transfer of the Notes.

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.01 or Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 15.05 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase of Notes on the Repurchase Date or

in connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice, the Company will:

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

ARTICLE 16

REDEMPTION

Section 16.01 [Reserved]

Section 16.02 Redemption for Taxation Reasons

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at a price (the “Tax Redemption Price”) payable in cash and equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Tax Redemption Date, including for the avoidance of doubt any Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax Redemption Price, if the Company has, or on the next Interest Payment Date would, become obligated to pay to the Holders Additional Amounts (that are more than a de minimis amount) as a result of (1) any change or amendment on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, in the case of a jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date, after such later date) in the laws or any rules or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or (2) any change on or after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, in the case of a jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date, after such later date) in an interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory or administrative authority of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the enactment of any legislation and the announcement or publication of any judicial decision or regulatory or administrative interpretation or determination) (each, a “Change in Tax Law” and such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided, that the Company may only elect a Tax Redemption if (x) the Company cannot avoid these obligations by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and an Officer’s Certificate attesting to such Change in Tax Law and obligation to pay Additional Amounts; and (z) the obligation to pay Additional Amounts is still in effect on the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price on the Tax Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price); provided further that, if the Tax Redemption Date occurs after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of the Notes on the Regular Record Date corresponding to such Interest Payment Date, and, to the extent of such payment, the Tax Redemption Price will not include the amounts described in clause (ii) above.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a Tax Redemption Date in connection with a Tax Redemption, the Company shall provide a notice of redemption to

each Holder of Notes to be redeemed (a “Notice of Tax Redemption”); provided that, as long as the Notes are held through the Depositary, such notice may be made by electronic transmission to the Depositary, as Holder.

The Notice of Tax Redemption shall specify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(a) the Tax Redemption Date;

(b) the Tax Redemption Price;

(d) that Holders have the right to elect not to have their Notes redeemed by delivery to the Paying Agent a Notice of Tax Redemption Election;

(e) that Holders who wish to elect not to have their Notes redeemed or to withdraw such an election must satisfy the requirements set forth herein and in the Indenture;

(f) that, at and after the Tax Redemption Date, Holders who elect not to have their Notes redeemed will not receive any Additional Amounts on any payments with respect to such Notes solely as a result of the Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts (whether upon exchange, required repurchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, maturity or otherwise, and whether in each Class A Common Shares, Reference Property or otherwise) after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price, such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price), and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder electing not to have its Notes redeemed converts its Notes in connection with such Tax Redemption, the Company shall be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such conversion;

(g) that Notes offered to be redeemed must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation to collect the Tax Redemption Price;

(h) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Tax Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue with respect to redeemed Notes on and after the Tax Redemption Date; and

(i) the CUSIP number of the Notes.

Simultaneously with providing such Notice of Tax Redemption, the Company shall publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or publish the information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. The Tax Redemption Date must be a Business Day.

At the Company’s written request delivered at least 3 days prior to the date such Notice of Tax Redemption is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give Notice of Tax Redemption, as prepared by the Company, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.

Upon receiving a Notice of Tax Redemption, each Holder shall have the right to elect to not have its Notes redeemed, in which case the Company will not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes solely as a result of the Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts (whether upon conversion, required repurchase in connection with a Fundamental Change or the 2017 Repurchase Date, maturity or otherwise, and whether in ADSs, Reference Property or otherwise) after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price on the Tax Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price), and all future payments with respect to the Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder electing not to have its Notes redeemed converts its Notes in connection with such Holder’s election to redeem the Notes in respect of such Change in Tax Law as described under this Article 16, the Company shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such conversion.

A Holder electing to not have its Notes redeemed must deliver to the Paying Agent a written notice of such election (the “Notice of Tax Redemption Election”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or any other form of written notice substantially similar to the Notice of Tax Redemption Election, in each case, duly completed and signed, so as to be received by the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date; provided that, a Holder that complies with the requirements for conversion described under Section 14.02 shall be deemed to have delivered a notice of its election to not have its Notes so redeemed. A Holder may withdraw any Notice of Tax Redemption Election (other than such a deemed Notice of Tax Redemption Election) by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price on the Tax Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price). If no such election is made or deemed to have been made, the Holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

No Notes may be redeemed if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date.

Section 16.03 Effect of Notice of Tax Redemption

The Notice of Tax Redemption having been given as provided in Section 16.02 hereof, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Tax Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Tax Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall Default in the payment of the Tax Redemption Price and any interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Tax Redemption Price.

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 Tax Redemption Date.

Section 16.04 Deposit and Payment of Tax Redemption Price

Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to any Tax Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an

amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Tax Redemption Price and interest in respect of all the Notes to be redeemed on that Tax Redemption Date from the last Interest Payment Date to but not including the Tax Redemption Date, other than any Notes called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit, and accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall then cause such funds to be paid to the Holders of the Notes being redeemed in accordance with this Article 16.

If any Note delivered for redemption shall not be so redeemed by payment to the Holders thereof on the Tax Redemption Date, the principal amount of such Note shall, until it is redeemed, bear interest on the Tax Redemption Date to but not including the actual date of redemption at the applicable interest rate, and each such Note shall remain convertible into ADSs pursuant to Article 14 until such Note shall have been so redeemed.

If any Note called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Company upon request by the Company or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

This Note shall bear interest at the rate of 2.50% per year from May 15, 2014, or from the most recent date to which interest had been paid or provided for to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date until May 15, 2019.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

TAL EDUCATION GROUP

2.50% Convertible Senior Note due 2019

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of US$230,000,000 all issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 21, 2014 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Citicorp International Limited (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. The Rule 144A Notes and the Regulation S Notes initially have separate CUSIP numbers and will initially not be fungible.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Tax Redemption Price, the 2017 Repurchase Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Subject to the terms, exceptions and conditions of the Indenture, in the event any withholding or deduction of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in connection with any payments by the Company or any successor to the Company under or with respect to the Indenture and the Notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal, payments of interest and deliveries of ADSs (together with payments of cash for any fractional ADSs) upon conversion, Additional Amounts will be paid to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner after any applicable withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the Additional Amounts) will equal the amount that would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required. References to principal, interest or deliveries of ADSs (together with payments of cash for any fractional ADSs) in respect of the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may

A-8

on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, the 2017 Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of US$1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes, if any, that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.

The Notes may also be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the Company’s option, at a price payable in cash and equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Tax Redemption Date, if, as a result of any change or amendment occurring on or after May 15, 2014 in the laws or any rules or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any change or amendment on or after May 15, 2014 in an interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory or administrative authority of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; provided, that the Company may only redeem the Notes if the Company cannot avoid these obligations by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and an Officer’s Certificate attesting to such Change in Tax Law and obligation to pay Additional Amounts; and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts is still in effect on the Tax Redemption date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Tax Redemption Price on the Tax Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Tax Redemption Price).

The Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of US$1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the 2017 Repurchase Date at a price equal to the 2017 Repurchase Price.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of US$1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
