in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley &
Co. International plc, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Merrill Lynch International and BNP PARIBAS are acting as representatives
(the “Representatives”), the principal amount of its debt securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the
“Securities”), to be issued under the indenture specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Indenture”)
between the Company and the Trustee identified in such schedule (the “Trustee”). If the firm or firms listed
in Schedule II hereto include only the Representatives listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms “Underwriters”
and “Representatives” as used herein shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.
The Company
has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3
(the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto), including a prospectus, relating to the securities (the “Shelf

amended to the date of this Underwriting Agreement (“Agreement”), including the information (if any) deemed
to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,”
and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated February 13, 2026 in the form first used to confirm sales of the
Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to
Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus,
as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of
the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant
to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” and the term “preliminary
prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus”
has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the documents

available without restriction to any person. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,”
“preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents,
if any, incorporated by reference therein as of the date hereof. The terms “supplement,” “amendment,”
and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein.

Securities Act, the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use
the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company has not received notice that the Commission

part became effective, did not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain, as of

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the Registration Statement as of the
date hereof does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein

rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to
file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company
complies, or if used after the effective date of this Agreement will comply, in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Except for the free writing prospectuses,
if any, identified in Schedule I hereto, forming part of the Time of Sale Prospectus, and electronic road shows, if any, each

is applicable in such jurisdiction) in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such
qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
(ii) except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, all of the issued equity interests of each Major Subsidiary have been

in accordance with GAAP the information required to be stated therein. The summary financial information included or incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects

Act in all material respects, to the extent applicable.
12
(cc) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and delivered
its report with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules filed with the Commission as part of the
Registration Statement and included in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, is
an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) thereunder.
(dd) The
Company and its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are in compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
(ee) The Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals
and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (v) the interactive data in eXtensible Business
Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, each of the Time of Sale Prospectus and
the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the
Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, since
the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act (whether or not remediated) and
(ii) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially and adversely affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
13
(ff) The
Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-14 under
the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company
and its subsidiaries is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company by others within
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions
for which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; the Company’s auditors and the audit
committee of the board of directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses
in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize,
and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have
a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls
and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
(gg) Any statistical and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of
Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably believes to be reliable and
accurate in all material respects and, to the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such
data from such sources.
(hh) The
Company has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to
cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale
of the Securities.
(ii) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor any agent thereof acting on their behalf has taken, and none of them
will take, any action that might cause this Agreement or the issuance or sale of the Securities to violate Regulation T, Regulation
U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
(jj)
The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA,” which term, as used herein, includes the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder)) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates
are in compliance in all respects with ERISA, except for any failure to so comply which would not reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No “reportable event” (as defined
under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established
or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, except as would not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. No “employee benefit plan” established
or maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (as defined below), if such “employee
benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA),
except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Neither the Company or its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability
under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code,” which
term, as used herein, includes the regulations and published interpretations thereunder), except as would not reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each “employee benefit plan”
established or maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified
under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause
the loss of such qualification, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414 of the Code of which the Company or such subsidiary
is a member.

2.
Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters, and each
Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter
stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amounts of Securities set forth
in Schedule II hereto opposite its name at the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) set forth in Schedule I
hereto.
3.
Terms of Public Offering. The Company is advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters propose to make a
public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have
become effective as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable. The Company is further advised by the Representatives
that the Securities are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
4.
Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Securities shall be made to the Company on the date and time set forth in
Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth “business day”
thereafter, as shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day”
shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York
or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and (2) on which the Trans-European Automated
Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the TARGET2 system), or any successor thereto, operates. The time and date
of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” Delivery of certificates for the Securities
through a common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) shall be made through the facilities of Euroclear Bank
SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”) unless the Representatives
shall otherwise instruct. The Company hereby acknowledges that circumstances under which the Representatives may provide notice
to postpone the Closing Date as originally scheduled include, but are in no way limited to, a delay as contemplated by the provisions
of Section 10 hereof.
15
The Securities
shall be in global form and will initially be issued only in book-entry form and deposited with the Common Depositary for Euroclear
and Clearstream. The Securities shall be registered in such denominations as the Representatives shall request in writing not
later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date and held by the Common Depositary through its nominee for Euroclear
and Clearstream, as the Representatives may request. The Securities shall be delivered to the Representatives on the Closing Date
for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the
Securities to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery
at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
Goldman
Sachs & Co. LLC or such other Representative as the Underwriters may appoint to settle the Securities (the “Settlement
Bank”) acknowledges that the Securities represented by the global notes will initially be credited to an account (the
“Commissionaire Account”) for the benefit of the Settlement Bank the terms of which include a third-party beneficiary
clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) with the Company as the third-party beneficiary and provide that such Securities
are to be delivered to others only against payment of the net subscription monies for the Securities (i.e. less the commissions
and expenses to be deducted from the subscription monies) into the Commissionaire Account on a delivery against payment basis.
The Settlement Bank acknowledges that (i) the Securities represented by the global security shall be held to the order of the
Company as set out above and (ii) the net subscription monies for the Securities received in the Commissionaire Account (i.e.
less the commissions and expenses deducted from the subscription monies) will be held on behalf of the Company until such time
as they are transferred to the Company’s order. The Settlement Bank undertakes that the net subscription monies for the
Securities (i.e. less the commissions and expenses deducted from the subscription monies) will be transferred to the Company’s
order promptly following receipt of such monies in the Commissionaire Account. The Company acknowledges and accepts the benefit
of the third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) pursuant to the Belgian/Luxembourg Civil
Code in respect of the Commissionaire Account.
16
5.
Conditions to the Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay
for the Securities as provided herein on the Closing Date are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as determined by the Representatives
in their sole discretion of the following conditions precedent on or prior to the Closing Date:
(a) Subsequent

or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded the
Company or any of the securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act; and
(iii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set
forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and that makes it,
in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the
terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
(b) The
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Time of Sale

agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

“bring-down comfort letter” dated the Closing Date addressed to the Representatives, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Representatives, in the form of the “comfort letter” delivered on the date hereof, except that (i) it
shall cover the financial information in the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and (ii) procedures shall
be brought down to a date no more than 3 business days prior to the Closing Date.
(h) The
Underwriters shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date, a certificate signed by the Chief Financial

or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.
If any
condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated
by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without
liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Sections 6(i), 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective
and shall survive such termination.

To furnish to the Representatives, upon request, without charge, two signed copies of the Registration Statement (including

a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives

To furnish to the Representatives a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used
by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Representatives
reasonably object.
(d)
Not to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter
otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(e)
If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not
yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend
or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus
conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the judgment of the Representatives
or counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable
law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon
request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus
as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, when delivered to a prospective
purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the
Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
19
(f)
If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law
to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of
which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser,
not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters
and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been
sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements
to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances
when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser,
be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(g) (i) To endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions
as the Representatives shall reasonably request and (ii) to advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification
or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any
initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification,
registration or exemption, to use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject
it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to
taxation as a foreign corporation.

System) to the Company’s security holders and to the Representatives as soon as practicable an earnings statement covering
a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement
which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder.

would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act a free writing
prospectus prepared by, on behalf of or used by such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company
thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person,
if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act and each affiliate of each Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding as
such expenses are incurred), whether or not pending or threatened and whether or not brought by an Underwriter or any of its affiliates,
or by a security holder, creditor or other person that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of
Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the
Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the

or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; except,
in the case of each (i) and (ii), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters through the Representatives
have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus,
any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto are the concession and
reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph; the information relating to making a market in the Securities in the eighth
paragraph; and the information relating to stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions
and penalty bids contained in the ninth paragraph, in each case under the caption “Underwriting” in the preliminary
prospectus and the Prospectus (the “Underwriter Information”). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section
8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.
(b)
Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers
who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such
Underwriter, but only with reference to the Underwriter Information. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall
be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
25
(c) In
case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”)
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in
writing; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such
failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8. If any such
proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof: (1) in the case of a civil proceeding (excluding any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding provided for
in clause (2)), the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in such civil proceeding and, to the extent that it
shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay the reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses of
such counsel related to such civil proceeding, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election to assume the defense of such civil proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
under such subsection for any legal fees and expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case, subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonably incurred and documented
costs of investigation; and (2) in case of any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding, upon request of the
indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party in such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding and shall pay the reasonably
incurred and documented fees and expenses of such counsel related to such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a
reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnified party, or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel)
for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm
shall be designated in writing by the Representatives authorized to appoint counsel under this Section set forth in Schedule
I hereto, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of
such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding
and does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.
26
(d) To
the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such
paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the
Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted
in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the
aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder as set
forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto, and not joint.
(e)
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any
other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d)
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 8(e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price
at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided
for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
27
(f)
The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling
any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person
controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9.
Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Company,
if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been
suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ
Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii)
trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii)
a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, the United Kingdom or the
European Union shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S.
Federal, New York State, United Kingdom or European Union authorities, (v) there shall have occurred a material disruption
in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to the Euroclear or Clearstream systems, or (vi) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event
specified in this clause (vi), makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus
or the Prospectus.
28
10. Effectiveness;
Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on
the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed
to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be
purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities
set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth
opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives
with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities
that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount
in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing
Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder
on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth
of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting
Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company except that the provisions of Sections
6(i), 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives
or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents
or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability
in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
11. Reimbursement
of the Expenses of the Underwriters. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 9 or
because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this
Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than by reason
of a default by the Underwriters or the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (ii) (to the extent such event is
not caused by any act or omission by the Company), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters,
severally, upon demand for all out of pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of their
counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
29
12.
Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written
agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire
agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of
Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b) This
Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters,
or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) The
Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s
length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the
Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent
not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company
and (iv) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby, and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they
deemed appropriate. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the
Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.
13.
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered
Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement,
and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective
under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of
the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)
In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to
a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter
are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

22. USA PATRIOT Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law on October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective
clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and addresses of their respective clients, as well as other
information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
23. Agreement Among Managers. The Underwriters agree as between themselves that they will be bound by and will
comply with the International Capital Markets Association Agreement Among Managers Version 1/New York Law Schedule (the “Agreement
Among Managers”) as amended in the manner set out below. For purposes of the Agreement Among Managers, “Managers”
means the Underwriters, “Lead Manager” means the Representatives, “Settlement Lead Manager”
means Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, “Stabilizing Manager” means Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and “Subscription
Agreement” means this Agreement. Clause 3 of the Agreement Among Managers shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with Section 10 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement Among Managers, each Underwriter hereby
agrees that the Settlement Lead Manager may allocate such Underwriter’s pro rata share of expenses incurred by the Underwriters
in connection with the offering of the Securities to the account of such Underwriter for settlement of accounts (including payment
of such Underwriter’s fees by the Settlement Lead Manager) as soon as practicable but in any case no later than 90 days
following the Closing Date.

24. Stabilizing Manager. The Company confirms the appointment of the Stabilizing Manager as of the central point
responsible for adequate public disclosure of information, and handling any request from a competent authority, in accordance
with Article 6(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 with regard to regulatory technical standards
for the conditions applicable to buy-back programmes and stabilization measures, including such regulation as it forms part of
United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the “EUWA”).
The Stabilizing Manager for its own account may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and directives, over-allot and effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail,
but in doing so the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Company and any loss resulting from overallotment
and stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be beneficially retained, by the Stabilizing Manager.
However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will undertake
any stabilization action. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess
of €4,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Securities. Such stabilization, if commenced, may be discontinued
at any time and shall be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager in accordance with all applicable laws and directives.
25. EU
MiFID/UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules. (a) Solely for the purposes of the requirements of Article 9(8) of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the “MiFID II Product Governance Rules”) regarding

Securities.

(the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”) regarding the mutual responsibilities of manufacturers under the
UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules: (i) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, Merrill Lynch International and BNP PARIBAS (each a “UK Manufacturer” and together the “UK
Manufacturers”) acknowledge to each other UK Manufacturer that they understand the responsibilities conferred upon them
under the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules relating to each of the product approval process, the target market and the proposed
distribution channels as applying to the Securities and the related information set out in the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus
and any announcements in connection with the Securities; and (ii) the Underwriters (other than the UK Manufacturers) and the Company

of the Initial 2029 Notes, the Initial 2032 Notes, the Initial 2034 Notes, the Initial 2038 Notes or the Initial 2046 Notes, respectively,
or are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the Initial 2029 Notes, the Initial 2032 Notes,

(c) The entire outstanding principal of each series of Notes shall be payable on the applicable
Maturity Date for such series.

be on September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2027. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders
of record at the close of business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date,
or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose,
a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular
record date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest
is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or from and
including September 15, 2026, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA), as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.
(e) If any Interest Payment Date or date of maturity of principal of the Notes falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the nominal Interest Payment Date or the date of maturity, and no interest will accrue or be payable to Holders
for the period after such nominal date.
(f) The Notes shall be issuable in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Global
Notes”) and will be deposited with the Depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Clearstream and
Euroclear. The 2029 Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the 2032 Notes shall be substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B, the 2034 Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, the 2038 Notes shall
be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and the 2046 Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E, the terms of which are herein incorporated by reference. The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of €100,000 or an integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.
(g) The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the applicable maturity date,
as provided in Article 3 hereof.
(h) The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
10

in the Base Indenture upon the occurrence of any particular events.
(j) The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company.
(k) The Notes will be general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will be
ranked equally among themselves.
(l) The Notes will not have the benefit of any guarantees.
(m) Principal and interest on the Notes, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase
of the Notes, shall be payable in euros, subject to Section 2.03
of this Supplemental Indenture.
Section
2.03 Currency of Notes. The Notes shall be denominated
in euro, and all payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts, if any, with
respect to the Notes, will be payable in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls
or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is again available
to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars pursuant to this Section 2.03
will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
Section
2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.
(a) The
Company initially appoints U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch to act as the paying agent with respect to the Notes (together with its successors
and assigns, the “Paying Agent”), and the Trustee
to act as the Security Registrar with respect to the Notes (together with its successors and assigns, the “Registrar”)
and as transfer agent with respect to the Notes (together with its successors and assigns, the “Transfer
Agent”), in each case in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement and the Indenture.
(b) The
Company may change the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders.
(c) The
Company designates the office of the Paying Agent at 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom as an agency
where the Notes may be presented for payment and the office of the Registrar at 1 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110, United States of
America as an agency where the Notes may be presented for exchange or registration of transfer, in each case, as provided for in the
Indenture.

Section
2.05 Book-Entry Provisions.
Owners
of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, and will not receive or be
entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form. Except as provided below, beneficial owners will not be considered
the owners or Holders of the Notes under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by the Company or the
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of the Clearstream or Euroclear and,
if such person is not a participant of the Clearstream or Euroclear, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns
its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Indenture and the operation of customary practices of such persons governing
the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Note. Conveyance of notices and other communications by the clearing
systems to their participants, by the participants to indirect participants and by the participants and indirect participants to beneficial
owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time.
Persons
that are not Clearstream or Euroclear participants may beneficially own Notes held by the Depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear only
through direct or indirect participants in Clearstream and Euroclear. So long as the Depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear is the
registered owner of the Global Note, the Depositary for all purposes will be considered the sole Holder of the Notes represented by the
Global Note under the Indenture and the Global Note.
Members
of, or participants and account holders in, Euroclear and Clearstream, (“Participants”)
shall have no rights as a Holder under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary
or by the Trustee or any custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary or its nominees may be treated by
the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Paying Agent or the Trustee as the sole owner of such Global
Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by Euroclear and Clearstream or impair, as between Euroclear and Clearstream, on the one hand, and the Participants, on the
other, the operation of customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest
in any Global Note.
The
policies of Clearstream and Euroclear will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest
in the Notes held by them. If (i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and
a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes
represented by the Global Notes and has not been cured or waived, or (iii) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines
not to have the Notes represented by Global Notes, then in any such case the Company will issue the Notes in definitive registered form
in exchange for the applicable Global Notes. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes will be entitled
to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered
in its name. The Notes so issued in definitive form will be issued in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of
€1,000 thereafter.
None
of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent or any agent of the foregoing shall be responsible or liable for
any aspect of the records kept by Clearstream or Euroclear or any of their participants, any records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests, or for naming, or determining the need for, a successor Depositary.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Section
3.01 Applicability of Article 3 of the Base Indenture. Article
3 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead the provisions set forth in this Article
3 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in their entirety Article
3 of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture to Article
3 thereof and the provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article
3 or the applicable provisions set forth in this Article
3, respectively.
Section
3.02 Optional Redemption.
(a) Prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and
rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Optional Redemption Date) that would have been payable if such redemption
had been made on the applicable Par Call Date (assuming the Notes of such series matured on such date), discounted to the Optional Redemption
Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus (i) 15 basis points in the case
of the 2029 Notes; (ii) 15 basis points in the case of the 2032 Notes; (iii) 20 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes; (iv) 20 basis

plus,
in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date.
(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date.
(c) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to determine
or verify any determination of the Redemption Price or select any Independent Investment Banker.
Section
3.03 Redemption for Tax Reasons.
(a) If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated
under the laws) of the United States or a taxing authority of or in the United States (a “Tax
Jurisdiction”) or the official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, which change or amendment
is announced or becomes effective on or after the Issue Date, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel
selected by the Company (a “Tax Opinion”),
will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described herein under Section
5.05 hereof with respect to any series of Notes, then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the
Notes of such series on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes of such series to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
13
Section
3.04 Notice of Redemption. The Company shall
give (or shall request the Trustee to give) notice of any redemption to Holders, which shall be mailed or electronically delivered (or
otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before
the Optional Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed.
The notice shall
identify the series of Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the Optional Redemption Date;
(b) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known);
(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(d) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed;
(e) that the Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
Redemption Price;
(f) that interest on Notes of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
Optional Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the Redemption Price; and
(g) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISIN
and/or Common Code number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
Notice
of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to
the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to
one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event.
At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided,
however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the
Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice and the form of such notice.
Unless
the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Optional Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on
the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Section
3.05 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the
case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee
deems appropriate and fair (subject to the applicable procedures of Clearstream or Euroclear). No Notes of a principal amount of €1,000
or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall
state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as
the Notes are held by Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies
and procedures of the applicable clearing system.
14
Section
3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once the
notice of redemption described in Section 3.04 is mailed (or delivered)
and any conditions precedent to such redemption have been satisfied, the Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the Optional Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Optional Redemption
Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued
to the Optional Redemption Date; provided that (a) if the Optional Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior
to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the
relevant regular record date; and (b) if an Optional Redemption Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Optional Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. Such notice,
if mailed (or delivered) in the manner provided in Section
3.04, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice; provided, however, that at the
Company’s discretion, the Optional Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all conditions precedent to such redemption
shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall
not have been satisfied by the Optional Redemption Date, or by the Optional Redemption Date as so delayed. The Company shall provide
written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date if any such redemption
has been rescinded or delayed, and the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed in the same manner
in which the notice of redemption was given.
Section
3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior
to 11:00 A.M. (London time), on the applicable Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or the Trustee)
in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest
on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered
by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section
4.01 Change of Control.
The
following additional covenant shall apply with respect to each series of Notes so long as any of the Notes of such series remain outstanding:
(a) Change of Control Triggering Event.
(1) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company
shall have exercised its option to redeem the Notes in full, as set forth in Article
3 of this Supplemental Indenture, or the Company shall have satisfied and discharged the Notes or defeased the Notes, as set forth in
Article 11 of the Base Indenture or Article 7 of this Supplemental
Indenture, respectively, the Company shall make an offer (the “Change
of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased (such principal amount to be equal to €100,000 or
an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be repurchased
up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice
to the Trustee and Holders describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering
to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from

(2) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept
for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) deposit

other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase
of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Article
4, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under this Article 4 by virtue of any such conflict.
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer for the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (a) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer, or (b) prior to the occurrence of the related Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company
has given written notice of a redemption as provided under Article
3 of this Supplemental Indenture unless the Company has failed to pay the Redemption Price on the Optional Redemption Date.
(5) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly
tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making such an offer in lieu of
the Company as described in Section 4.01(a)(4) of this Supplemental
Indenture, purchase all of such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company, or such third party, has the
right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than
60 days following such repurchase pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer) to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following
such purchase on a date specified in such notice (the “Second Change
of Control Purchase Date”) and at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Purchase Date.

any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation or other official
guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA;

EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section
6.01 Applicability of Article 6 of the Base Indenture. Article
6 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions set forth in this Article
6 shall, with respect to each series of Notes, supersede in its entirety Article
6 of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture to Article
6 thereof and the provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to each series of Notes, be deemed to be references to
this Article 6 and the applicable provisions set forth in this
Article 6, respectively.
Section
6.02 Events of Default. Wherever used herein
with respect to a series of Notes, “Event of Default”
means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:
(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note of that series when it becomes due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 consecutive days;
20
(b) default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Note of that series at
its stated maturity or when otherwise due and payable;
(c) failure by the Company to observe or perform any term of the Indenture (other than those referred
to in (a) or (b) above) for a period of 90 consecutive days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series, a written notice specifying such default and requiring it
to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” hereunder;
(d) the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction in the premises of:
(1) an order for relief in respect of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary
proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law and such order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;
or
(2) a final and non-appealable order appointing a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and such order shall remain unstayed
and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(e) the commencement by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of a voluntary proceeding
under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or the consent by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as debtor to the entry of a decree
or order for relief in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or the filing by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries as debtor of a consent to an order for relief in any involuntary proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, or to the appointment
of a Custodian or the making by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until a Responsible Officer receives written
notification of such Event of Default describing the circumstances of such, and identifying the circumstances constituting such Event
of Default and stating that such notification is a notice of default.
Section
6.03 Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If
one or more Events of Default with respect to the Notes of a series shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree
or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such
case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.02(d)
or Section 6.02(e) with respect to the Company), either the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of the applicable series, by notice in writing
to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such series of Notes), may (and the Trustee, at the written request of such
Holders of such series of Notes accompanied by security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and otherwise subject to the limitations
set forth in the Indenture, shall) declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes of such series
to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and
payable without any action on the part of the Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.02(d) or Section 6.02(e) with respect to the Company occurs and
is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically
be immediately due and payable without the declaration or other act by the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes or any other party. If an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee
of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or the Indenture. The Trustee may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes of such series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
21
The
immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of any series of 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, and all existing Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the
nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes of such series 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 the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes then Outstanding, by
written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to such series of 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 the 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.
Section
6.04 Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If
an Event of Default described in Section 6.02(a) or Section
6.02(b) shall have occurred with respect to a series of Notes, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee or the requisite Holders
of such series, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such series of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Notes for principal and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal and any overdue interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture with respect to such series
of Notes. 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 applicable series of 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
such series of 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 Custodian 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 any series of 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 compensation, reasonable 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 of the Base Indenture; and any Custodian 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, advances
and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base
Indenture, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable 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.
22
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 the Indenture, or under any series 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the applicable series of Notes.
In
any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Indenture to which
the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the applicable series of Notes, and it shall
not be necessary to make any Holders of such series parties to any such proceedings.
In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the 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 6.03 or for any other reason
or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the applicable 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, such 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 or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
6 with respect to a series of Notes shall be paid over to the Paying Agent and applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee or the Paying Agent for the distribution of such monies or property, upon presentation of such series of 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 (in any capacity hereunder) under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture and to the Paying
Agent with respect to such series of Notes;
SECOND,
to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect
of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and
THIRD,
to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
23
Section
6.06 Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce
the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder of any Note of any series shall have any right by virtue of
or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with
respect to the 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 of an Event of Default
and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, with respect to such series of Notes;
(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes of such series then Outstanding shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such
Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided, to the Trustee such security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any
loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such security
or indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding with respect to such series of Notes; and
(d) no direction that is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee
by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with respect to such series 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 of such series with every other taker
and Holder of such series of Notes 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 the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of such series of
Notes (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly
prejudicial to 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 the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of such
series of Notes (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 the Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment of the principal
of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided
for in such Note or in the Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and such right to receive such payment
on or after such respective dates 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 discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by the 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 the Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted in the Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by the Indenture
or by law.
Section
6.08 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. 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 thereof or 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 the 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
6.07, 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.
24
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 any series of Notes at the time Outstanding
shall have the right, with respect to such series of Notes, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series of Notes; provided,
however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or subject the Trustee in its sole
discretion to personal liability. Subject to the provisions of Section
7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer
or officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture
Act, may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or if it is not provided with security and/or indemnity to its satisfaction may take
any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders. In addition, the Trustee will
not be required to expend its own funds under any circumstances. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
any series of Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any past Default or
Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (1) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the
principal of, such Notes, or (2) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
8 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected; provided, however, that the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the series of Notes at the time Outstanding may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such
series of Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other 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 the 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 an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer receives written notice or obtains
actual knowledge, deliver to all Holders notice of all Events of Default known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Events of Default
shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of an Event of Default in the payment
of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if
the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders (it being understood that
the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to make such determination). The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event
of Default unless and until a Responsible Officer receives written notification of such Event of Default describing the circumstances
of such, and identifying the circumstances constituting such Event of Default and stating that such notification is a “notice of
default.”
Section
6.11 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to
the 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 the 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, 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 on or after the due date expressed
or provided for in such Note or the Indenture.

DEFEASANCE
Section
7.01 Defeasance.
(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations legally
released with respect to the outstanding Notes of any series (“Legal
Defeasance”). Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the applicable series of Notes and this Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding
Notes of such series, except for:
(1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest
or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section
7.02(a);
(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes to register the transfer and exchange
of such Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes of such series, to maintain paying agencies and to hold money for
payment in trust with respect to such series;
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the obligations of the
Company in connection therewith; and
(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Supplemental Indenture.
(b) In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations released
with respect to (1) their respective obligations under Article 4,
Section 5.01 through 5.04 and Article
9, inclusive, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series and (2) the operation of Section
6.02(c), (d) and (e)
(only as such clauses, (d) and (e)
apply to Restricted Subsidiaries) (“Covenant Defeasance”)
on and after the conditions in Section 7.02 with respect to Covenant
Defeasance are satisfied, and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Notes. The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option regardless of whether it previously exercised Covenant
Defeasance.
(c) If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.
(d) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee
shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.
26
Section
7.02 Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise
either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to any series of Notes:
(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of all Holders
or all other beneficial owners of such series of Notes outstanding, a combination of money and/or Governmental Obligations in an amount
sufficient, in the written opinion of or as certified by a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent
public accountants delivered to the Trustee, that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal, any premium, and any other payments
on the outstanding Notes of such series on the stated maturity or on the applicable Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, and
the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Optional Redemption Date;
(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since
the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes
as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture on the date
of such deposit; and
(e) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance of the Notes have been complied
with.
If
the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
when due, then the Company’s obligations under the Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.
Section
7.03 Deposited Money and Governmental Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. All money and Governmental Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02(a) in respect of the outstanding
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such series of Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect
of principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.
The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Governmental Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or the principal, premium,
if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the
Holders of the outstanding Notes.
27
Anything
in this Article 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or Governmental Obligations held by it as provided
in Section 7.02(a) which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section
7.04 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any money or Governmental Obligations in accordance with Section
7.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated

each series of Notes, be deemed to be references to this Section

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holder of any series of Notes affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Indenture or otherwise.

Senior Notes due 2029
This security
is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Uber Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2024 (the “Base
Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2026 (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”
By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof (individually, a “Security,”
and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, immunities and indemnities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Holders”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Supplemental
Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest.
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 3.750%. The Company will pay interest
annually in arrears on September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day and Holders
will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay (each such day, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, if the Notes are represented
by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream
and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular record date”).
Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual
number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or from and including September 15, 2026, if
no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred
to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA), as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.
The
term “Business Day” as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking
institutions in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and (2) on which
the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the T2 system), or any successor thereto, operates.
The rights of holders of beneficial interests of notes to receive the payments of interest on such notes are subject to the applicable
procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.
Ex.
A-5
2. Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities to the persons in whose name such
Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such
interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control
Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities
as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of
the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is
again available to the Company or so used.
The
amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated
a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
3. Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act
as Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture.
The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date
the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement
of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof
as the “3.750% Senior Notes due 2029”, initially limited to €[●] in aggregate principal amount. The Company will
furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Requests may
be made to: Uber Technologies, Inc. 1725 3rd Street, San Francisco,
California, 94158. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
Ex.
A-6
5. Redemption.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.02 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
The
Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.
6.
Redemption for Tax Reasons.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.03 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
7. Change
of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem this Security in full or the Company has satisfied and discharged this Security or defeased this Security, the Company
shall make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of this Security to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Securities at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be repurchased (such principal amount to be
equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the amount of Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and each Holder, in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(1) of the
Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.
8. Denominations,
Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of €100,000 or an integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer
endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the security registrar) at the office of the security registrar or at
the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange, but a Holder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed,
the Company will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of sending of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding Securities of the same series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending and (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series
or portions thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion
of any such Security being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case may be.
9. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
10. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults and Events of Default
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
Ex.
A-7
11. Defaults
and Remedies. If one or more Events of Default with respect to the Securities of a series shall have occurred and be continuing,
then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities of such series then outstanding may (and,
in certain circumstances, will automatically) become due and payable in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in the Indenture.
12. Trustee,
Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, or
any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.
13. Discharge
and Defeasance of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.
14. Authentication.
This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication attached to the other side of this
Security.

Senior Notes due 2032
This security
is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Uber Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2024 (the “Base
Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2026 (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”
By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof (individually, a “Security,”
and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, immunities and indemnities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Holders”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Supplemental
Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest.
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 4.125%. The Company will pay interest
annually in arrears on September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day and Holders
will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay (each such day, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, if the Notes are represented
by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream
and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular record date”).
Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual
number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or from and including September 15, 2026, if
no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred
to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA), as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.
The
term “Business Day” as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking
institutions in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and (2) on which
the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the T2 system), or any successor thereto, operates.
The rights of holders of beneficial interests of notes to receive the payments of interest on such notes are subject to the applicable
procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.
Ex.
B-5
2. Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities to the persons in whose name such
Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such
interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control
Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities
as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of
the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is
again available to the Company or so used.
The
amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated
a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
3. Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act
as Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture.
The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date
the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement
of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof
as the “4.125% Senior Notes due 2032”, initially limited to €[●] in aggregate principal amount. The Company will
furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Requests may
be made to: Uber Technologies, Inc. 1725 3rd Street, San Francisco,
California, 94158. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

Indenture.

Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.
6.
Redemption for Tax Reasons.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.03 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
7. Change
of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem this Security in full or the Company has satisfied and discharged this Security or defeased this Security, the Company
shall make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of this Security to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Securities at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be repurchased (such principal amount to be
equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the amount of Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and each Holder, in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(1) of the
Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.
8. Denominations,
Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of €100,000 or an integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer
endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the security registrar) at the office of the security registrar or at
the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange, but a Holder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed,
the Company will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of sending of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding Securities of the same series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending and (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series
or portions thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion
of any such Security being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case may be.
9. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
10. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults and Events of Default
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
Ex.
B-7
11. Defaults
and Remedies. If one or more Events of Default with respect to the Securities of a series shall have occurred and be continuing,
then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities of such series then outstanding may (and,
in certain circumstances, will automatically) become due and payable in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in the Indenture.
12. Trustee,
Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, or
any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.
13. Discharge
and Defeasance of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2026 (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”
By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof (individually, a “Security,”
and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, immunities and indemnities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Holders”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Supplemental
Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest.
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 4.375%. The Company will pay interest
annually in arrears on September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day and Holders
will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay (each such day, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, if the Notes are represented
by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream
and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular record date”).
Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual
number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or from and including September 15, 2026, if
no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred
to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA), as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

The rights of holders of beneficial interests of notes to receive the payments of interest on such notes are subject to the applicable

2. Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities to the persons in whose name such
Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such
interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control
Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities
as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of
the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is
again available to the Company or so used.
The
amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated
a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
3. Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act
as Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture.
The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date
the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement
of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof
as the “4.375% Senior Notes due 2034”, initially limited to €[●] in aggregate principal amount. The Company will
furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Requests may
be made to: Uber Technologies, Inc. 1725 3rd Street, San Francisco,
California, 94158. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

Indenture.
7. Change
of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem this Security in full or the Company has satisfied and discharged this Security or defeased this Security, the Company
shall make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of this Security to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Securities at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be repurchased (such principal amount to be
equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the amount of Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and each Holder, in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(1) of the
Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.

multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in

majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults and Events of Default

Senior Notes due 2038
This security
is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Uber Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 9, 2024 (the “Base
Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2026 (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”
By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof (individually, a “Security,”
and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, immunities and indemnities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Holders”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Supplemental
Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest.
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 4.750%. The Company will pay interest
annually in arrears on September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day and Holders
will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay (each such day, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, if the Notes are represented
by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream
and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each, a “regular record date”).
Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual
number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or from and including September 15, 2026, if
no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred
to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA), as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.
The
term “Business Day” as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking
institutions in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and (2) on which
the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the T2 system), or any successor thereto, operates.
The rights of holders of beneficial interests of notes to receive the payments of interest on such notes are subject to the applicable
procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.
Ex.
D-5
2. Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities to the persons in whose name such
Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such
interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control
Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities
as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of
the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is
again available to the Company or so used.
The
amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated
a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
3. Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act
as Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture.
The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date
the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement
of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof
as the “4.750% Senior Notes due 2038”, initially limited to €[●] in aggregate principal amount. The Company will
furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Requests may
be made to: Uber Technologies, Inc. 1725 3rd Street, San Francisco,
California, 94158. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
Ex.
D-6
5. Redemption.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.02 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
The
Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.
6.
Redemption for Tax Reasons.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.03 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
7. Change
of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem this Security in full or the Company has satisfied and discharged this Security or defeased this Security, the Company
shall make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of this Security to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Securities at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be repurchased (such principal amount to be
equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the amount of Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and each Holder, in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(1) of the
Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.
8. Denominations,
Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of €100,000 or an integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer
endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the security registrar) at the office of the security registrar or at
the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange, but a Holder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed,
the Company will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of sending of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding Securities of the same series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending and (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series
or portions thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion
of any such Security being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case may be.
9. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
Ex.
D-7
10. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults and Events of Default
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
11. Defaults
and Remedies. If one or more Events of Default with respect to the Securities of a series shall have occurred and be continuing,
then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities of such series then outstanding may (and,
in certain circumstances, will automatically) become due and payable in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in the Indenture.
12. Trustee,
Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, or
any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.
13. Discharge
and Defeasance of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.
14. Authentication.
This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication attached to the other side of this
Security.

(= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2026 (the “Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”
By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof (individually, a “Security,”
and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference
is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, immunities and indemnities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Holders”).

Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest.
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 5.250%. The Company will pay interest
annually in arrears on September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day and Holders
will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay (each such day, an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of
business on the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, if the Notes are represented
by one or more Global Notes, the close of business on the clearing system business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream

Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual

the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the T2 system), or any successor thereto, operates.
The rights of holders of beneficial interests of notes to receive the payments of interest on such notes are subject to the applicable

2. Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities to the persons in whose name such

interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control
Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is after a regular record date and on or
prior to the Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities
as provided in the Indenture. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities, will be made in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of
the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in dollars until the euro is
again available to the Company or so used.
The
amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated
a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent dollar/euro exchange rate published in The
Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Neither the Trustee nor the
Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any payment in respect
of any Note so made in dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture.
3. Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Europe DAC, UK Branch will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act
as Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company
or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture.
The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date
the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement
of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof
as the “5.250% Senior Notes due 2046”, initially limited to €[●] in aggregate principal amount. The Company will
furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. Requests may
be made to: Uber Technologies, Inc. 1725 3rd Street, San Francisco,
California, 94158. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
Ex.

Indenture.

Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.
6.
Redemption for Tax Reasons.
The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 3.03 of the Supplemental
Indenture.
7. Change
of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised
its right to redeem this Security in full or the Company has satisfied and discharged this Security or defeased this Security, the Company
shall make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of this Security to repurchase any and all of such Holder’s Securities at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be repurchased (such principal amount to be
equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess of €100,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the amount of Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and each Holder, in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(1) of the
Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.
8. Denominations,
Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of €100,000 or an integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer
endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the security registrar) at the office of the security registrar or at
the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange, but a Holder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed,
the Company will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of sending of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding Securities of the same series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending and (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series
or portions thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion
of any such Security being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case may be.
9. Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
Ex.
E-7
10. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults and Events of Default
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
11. Defaults
and Remedies. If one or more Events of Default with respect to the Securities of a series shall have occurred and be continuing,
then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities of such series then outstanding may (and,
in certain circumstances, will automatically) become due and payable in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in the Indenture.
12. Trustee,
Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, or
any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.
13. Discharge
and Defeasance of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

Uber Technologies, Inc.
1725 3rd Street
San Francisco, California 94158
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Uber Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) in connection with the sale by the Company of €750,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.750% Senior Notes due 2029, €1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2032, €1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.375% Senior Notes
due 2034, €1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.750% Senior Notes due 2038, and €750,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 5.250% Senior Notes due 2046 (together the “Notes”) to be issued pursuant
to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated September 9, 2026 (the “Agreement”), by and among Goldman Sachs
& Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Merrill Lynch International and BNP PARIBAS,
as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), and the Company and a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-293483) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement
dated September 9, 2026, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (together with the Base Prospectus,
the “Prospectus”). The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated September 9, 2024 (the “Base
Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”),
as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated September 15, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the
Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined
and relied upon (i) the representations and warranties as to factual matters and have assumed performance of the covenants contained in
and made pursuant to the Agreement and the Indenture by the various parties thereto, (ii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
(iii) the Indenture and the Notes, (iv) the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently in effect, and
(v) such other records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to
enable us to render the opinion expressed below. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the
Company and have not independently verified such matters.
Our opinion herein is expressed solely with
respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and, as to the Notes constituting binding obligations of the Company,
the laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof
and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed,
without investigation: the genuineness of all signatures; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity
to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials;
and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company
of the Indenture and the Notes); that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver;
that the Indenture constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, against all parties thereto (except
that such assumption is not made with respect to the Company); and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the
parties to the Indenture or the Notes that would modify or interpret the terms thereof or the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

Our opinion is subject to the following additional
qualifications and limitations:
(i)
Our opinion is subject to, and may be limited by, (a)
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar laws which relate
to or affect creditors’ rights generally, (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and possible judicial
action giving effect to foreign governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, (c) requirements that a claim
with respect to any Notes payable in foreign or composite currency (or a foreign or composite currency judgment in respect of such claim)
be converted into United States dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law and (d) governmental
authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States or payments in which designated foreign countries,
entities or nationals have an interest.
(ii)
Our opinion is subject to the qualification that (a) the
enforceability of provisions for indemnification or limitations on liability may be limited by applicable law or public policy considerations,
and (b) the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court
before which the request is brought.
(iii)
We express no opinion as to any provision of the Notes
or the Indenture that: (a) relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any federal court of the United States of America or any federal
appellate court to adjudicate any controversy related to the Notes or the Indenture; (b) contains a waiver of any objection based on inappropriate
venue or forum non conveniens in a federal court of the United States of America; (c) relates to a right of setoff; (d) provides for liquidated
damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole payments or other economic remedies if such remedy
would be unreasonable, constitute a penalty or be otherwise contrary to public policy; (e) relates to advance waivers of claims, defenses,
rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial by jury, or procedural
rights; (f) restricts non-written modifications and waivers; (g) provides for the payment of legal and other professional fees where such
payment is contrary to law or public policy; (h) provides that provisions of the Notes or Indenture are severable to the extent an essential
part of the agreed exchange is determined to be invalid and unenforceable; (i) provides that a party’s waiver of any breach of any
provision of the Notes or the Indenture is not to be construed as a waiver by such party of any prior breach of such provision or of any
other provision of the Notes or the Indenture; (j) provides any party the right to accelerate obligations or exercise remedies without
notice; (k) purports to appoint one party as trustee for an adverse party or provides for the appointment of a receiver; (l) specifies
that the liability of any indemnitor shall not be affected by actions or failures to act on the part of the beneficiaries of the indemnity
or by amendments or waivers of provisions of documents creating and governing the indemnified obligations if such actions, failures to
act, amendments or waivers change the essential nature of the terms and conditions of the indemnified obligations so that, in effect,
a new contract has arisen between the recipient of the indemnity and the primary obligor on whose behalf the indemnity was issued; or
(m) provides for a right or remedy which may be held to be arbitrary or unconscionable, a penalty or otherwise in violation of public
policy. In connection with any provision of the Notes or the Indenture that contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum, we note that under
N.Y.C.P.L.R. Section 510 a New York State court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial.

(iv)
We express no opinion as to whether a state court outside
of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law or forum provided for
in the Notes and the Indenture.
On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon,
and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that when duly executed
and delivered by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and issued and delivered to the
Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Notes will be binding obligations of the Company.
This opinion is limited to the matters expressly
set forth in this letter, and no opinion has been or should be implied, or may be inferred, beyond the matters expressly stated. This
opinion speaks only as to law and facts in effect or existing as of the date hereof, and we have no obligation or responsibility to update
or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may
hereafter occur.
We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption
“Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report of the Company on Form
8-K. In giving such consents, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
