(iv)deliver to the converting holder a new Note representing any portion of the principal amount that was represented by the Note surrendered to the Company in connection with such conversion, but which was not converted or which could not be converted because it would have required the issuance of a fractional Ordinary Share.

ny-2522610.14A

The converting holder shall cooperate with the Company and, if applicable, the Depositary or the share registrar for the Ordinary Shares to facilitate the process outlined above, including through the execution of a subscription form for the Ordinary Shares satisfactory to the converting holder and, if applicable, the execution of a power of attorney authorizing the Company to deliver the Underlying Shares to the converting holder or the Depositary on such holder’s behalf and the converting holder providing such representations, certificates or other documentation as may be reasonably required in connection with such delivery.

(e)The issuance of the Underlying Shares and, if applicable, ADSs upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Underlying Shares or ADSs, unless the tax is due because the holder requests such Underlying Shares or ADSs to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder shall pay the tax. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Ordinary Shares and ADSs issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(f)To the extent commercially practicable and consistent with the Company’s requirements in respect of establishing entitlement to any distribution or other rights attaching to the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall not close its books against the transfer of Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Date would otherwise fall during a period in which the register of ADSs or the Ordinary Shares is closed, such Conversion Date will be postponed to the first Trading Day following the expiry such closure.

Section 5.2 Conversion Rate. The initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of the Note shall be equal to the product of (i) $1,000 divided by (ii) Initial Conversion Price (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article V, the “Conversion Rate”). To address dilution of the conversion rights granted under the Note, the Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 5.3. The Conversion Rate will also be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.5 and upon the occurrence of certain Make Whole Fundamental Changes pursuant to Section 6.2.

Section 5.3 Adjustments to Conversion Rate. If the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS is changed, after the date of this Note, for any reason other than one or more of the events described in this Section 5.3, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs upon which conversion of the Note is based remains the same. In addition, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a)In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Note is outstanding, pay a dividend in Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or make a distribution in Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

ny-2522610.14A

OS1

CR1 = CR0 × OS

where

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1    = the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;

OS0    = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and

OS1    = the number of Ordinary Shares that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend or distribution.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution that is the subject of this Section 5.3(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 of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For purposes of this Section 5.3(a), the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution shall not include Ordinary Shares held in treasury, if any. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in treasury, if any.

(b)In case outstanding Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of Ordinary Shares or combined or reverse split into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares (in each case, other than in connection with a transaction to which Section 5.4 applies), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

OS1

CR1 = CR0 × OS

0

where

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of such subdivision or combination;

CR1    = the Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date of such subdivision or combination;

15

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(c)In case the Company shall issue rights (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan or a dividend or distribution on Ordinary Shares in Ordinary Shares as set forth in (a) above) or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs), other than an issuance in connection with a transaction to which Section 5.4 applies, entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date of issuance, Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per Ordinary Share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for the distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

OS0 + X

CR1 = CR0 × OS + Y

where

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such issuance;

OS0    = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance;

X    =    the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

Y    = the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient of (x) aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by (y) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex- dividend date for such issuance.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such issuance. If any rights or warrants described in this Section 5.3(c) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its

16

ny-2522610.14A

decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Ordinary Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered. In determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights and warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors). For purposes of this Section 5.3(c), the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex- dividend date for such issuance shall not include Ordinary Shares held in treasury, if any. The Company will not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of Ordinary Shares held in treasury, if any.

(d)In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs) of any class of capital stock of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (i) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(c), (iii) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(e), (iv) any dividends or distributions in connection with a transaction to which Section

5.4 applies, or (v) any Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.3(d) applies) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

SP0

17

ny-2522610.14A

CR1 = CR0 × SP

− FMV

where

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

SP0    = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value on the ex-dividend date for such distribution of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one (1) Ordinary Share, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

In the event where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or shares of capital stock of any class or series,

18

ny-2522610.14A

or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”) that are, or when issued, will be, traded or listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other U.S. national securities exchange or market, then the Conversion Rate shall instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

19

ny-2522610.14A

CR1 = CR0 ×

where

FMV0 + MP0 MP0

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

CR1    =    the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

FMV0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Distributed Assets applicable to one (1) Ordinary Share during the ten consecutive trading day period commencing on and including the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”); and

MP0    = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision 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.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs) entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and 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 5.3(d). If any such right or

20

ny-2522610.14A

warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights 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

21

ny-2522610.14A

rights or warrants with such rights. In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the 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 5.3 was made, (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase and (B) in the case of such rights 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 and warrants had not been issued.

No adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) in respect of rights or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent that such rights or warrants are actually distributed to a holder upon conversion of this Note.

(e)In case the Company shall pay a dividend or otherwise distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares (direct or in the form of ADSs) a dividend or other distribution of exclusively cash excluding (i) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (ii) any dividend or distribution in connection with a transaction to which Section 5.4 applies, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

SP0

22

ny-2522610.14A

CR1 = CR0 × SP

− 𝐷𝐼𝑉

where

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;

CR1    = the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0    = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and

DIV = the amount in cash per Ordinary Share the Company distributes to holders of its Ordinary Shares.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution.

23

ny-2522610.14A

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(e) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision 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.

(f)In case of purchases of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs), to the extent that the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of cash and any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share (or equivalent payment per Ordinary Share represented by the ADSs) exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of ADSs then represented by each ADS on the trading day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended) (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

FMV + (SP1 × OS1)

24

ny-2522610.14A

CR1 = CR0 ×

where

SP1

CR0    = the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date;

CR1    = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date;

FMV = the fair market value, on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs) validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;

OS1    = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), after giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0    = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time; and

SP1    = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period commencing on the trading day immediately after the Expiration Date.

25

ny-2522610.14A

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately following the Expiration Date. If the Company, or one of its Subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs) pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Section 5.3(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 5.3(f).

(g)If and whenever the Company shall issue any Ordinary Shares or ADSs (other than any issuance pursuant to this Note or on the exercise of any other rights, existing as of the date of issuance of the Note, of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Ordinary Shares or ADSs) or issue or grant options, warrants or other rights to purchase, subscribe, convert into, exercise or exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs (the “Relevant Securities”, which for the purposes of this definition excludes any Ordinary Shares, ADSs, option, warrant or other rights to purchase, subscribe, convert into, exercise or exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued or granted in accordance with any share incentive plan of the Company), in each case at a consideration per ADS (on an as-converted and as-exercised basis and, in the case of any issuance of Ordinary Shares, such issue price per Ordinary Share multiplied by the applicable number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS) which is less than the Reference Price per ADS, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

𝐂𝐑𝟏 = 𝐂𝐑𝟎 ×

where:

𝐀 + 𝐁

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the date of issue of the Relevant Securities;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect as from the date of issue of the Relevant Securities; A = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the issue of the Relevant

Securities;

B = the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable for the issue of the Relevant Securities would purchase at the price equal to (x) Reference Price, multiplied by (y) the applicable number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS; and

C = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after the issue of the Relevant Securities, provided that references to the number of Ordinary Shares in the above formula shall include all the Ordinary Shares to be issued assuming that all options, warrants or other rights to purchase, subscribe, convert into, exercise or exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs are exercised in full at the initial exercise price on the date of issue of such options, warrants or other rights.

(h)In cases where:

(i)the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of Distributed Assets and cash, including with respect to a Spin-Off to which Sections 5.3(d) and 5.3(e) apply, applicable to one (1) Ordinary Share, distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs) equals or exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution, or

(ii) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution exceeds the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of such Distributed Assets or cash so distributed by less than $1.00, rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, the holder will be entitled to receive upon conversion, in addition to the ADS, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities or rights, warrants or options comprising the distribution, if any, that the holder would have received if the holder had converted this Note immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the distribution.

(i)In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a)-(h) of this Section 5.3, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and any other securities exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) business days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest, and the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares or ADSs) or similar event.

(j)All calculations under this Article V shall be made in good faith by the Company in accordance with this Article V, and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of an Ordinary Share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs) pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or for any issuance of Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities or, except as provided in this Section 5.3, rights to purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or indirectly in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities. The Company shall certify to the holder that all calculations are made in compliance with this Article V, and shall show the holder in detail the facts upon which such calculations and adjustments were made.

(k)For purposes of this Section 5.3, the number of Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Ordinary

28

ny-2522610.14A

Shares. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company.

(l)Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses in this Section 5.3, the applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3 (i) if the holder participates in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to this Section

5.3 on an as-converted basis or (ii) solely by reason of the issuance or conversion of any other Notes pursuant to the Bond Documents.

Section 5.4    Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Ordinary

29

ny-2522610.14A

Shares.

(a)In the case of:

(i)any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the ADSs or

Ordinary Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

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

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

(iv)any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the ADS or the Ordinary Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute an amendment to the Note providing that, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Note shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Note into 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 ofReference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one ADS is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event; provided, however, that any ADSs that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Note shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of ADSs would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event.

If the Merger Event causes the ADSs or Ordinary Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of holder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Note will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of 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. If the holders of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares receive only cash in such

30

ny-2522610.14A

Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, multiplied by the price paid per ADS or Ordinary Share, as applicable, in such Merger Event.

Such amendment described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti- dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article V (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 Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such other Person shall also execute such amendment and such amendment shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the holder of the Note.

(b)The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.4. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of a Note to convert its Note pursuant to the terms of the Note.

(c)The above provisions of this Section 5.4 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 5.5 Conversion Price Reset. On each of the first anniversary and second anniversary of the Closing Date (each such anniversary, a “Reset Date”), if the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares during any consecutive 40-Trading Day period in the 12 months preceding the relevant Reset Date (the “Reference Price”) is below 85% of the Initial Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to 115% of such Reference Price. If during the 12 months preceding a Reset Date there is more than one consecutive 40- Trading Day period when the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price is below 85% of the Initial Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price for the applicable Reset Date shall be calculated based on the lower of (i) the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the most recent applicable 40- Trading Day Period and (ii) the average Volume Weighted Average Closing Price for all applicable 40-Trading Day Periods within the most recent 6 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Price be lower than 60% of the Initial Conversion Price.

Section 5.6    Notices.

(a)Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall give notice of such adjustment to the Agent setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment, and the Agent shall send written notice thereof to each holder of this Note. Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Agent shall send written notice thereof to the Company and each holder of this Note, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

31

ny-2522610.14A

(b)The Company shall send written notice to the Agent at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (i) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs), any subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split or combination, or any tender offer or exchange offer,

(ii) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Ordinary Shares (whether direct or in the form of ADSs) or (iii) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Change, dissolution or liquidation.

(c)The Company shall also give at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Agent of the date on which any Fundamental Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.

ARTICLE VI CERTAIN COVENANTS

(c)In addition, the Guarantor shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Collateral Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)The Guarantor shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by the Recipient on or with respect to an amount payable by the Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement (or required to be withheld or deducted from any such amount paid to the Recipient), together with any reasonable and documented expenses arising in connection therewith and with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate from such Recipient (or by the Collateral Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient) as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Promptly after any payment of Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) by the Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the relevant return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(f)Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the imposition, deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Taxes with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Collateral Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Collateral Agent as will permit such payments to be made without imposition, deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Taxes or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and delivery of such documentation shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or delivery of such documentation would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient or subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.

(g)If a payment made to a Recipient hereunder would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Recipient shall deliver to the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Guarantor or the Collateral Agent as may be necessary for the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Guarantor or with respect to which the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund (or the amount of any credit in lieu of refund) to the Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit in lieu of refund), net of all Taxes and out- of-pocket expenses of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit in lieu of refund), provided that Guarantor, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such indemnified party in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit in lieu of refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph if the payment of such amount would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require any indemnified party to make available to the Guarantor or any other Person its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential.

(i)Each party’s obligations under this Section 6.01 shall survive the replacement or resignation of the Collateral Agent or the replacement of or any assignment of rights by a Secured Party, the repayment, discharge or satisfaction of all obligations under any Bond Document.

Section 6.02 Amendments. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a writing signed by the Guarantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Article VIII of the Note.

This clause (a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, or similar items arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Bond Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Bond Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by unintended recipients.

(c)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable /not later than thirty (30) days after demand therefor.
