(c) The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities and Guarantees contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person.

(a) Each Underwriter represents and agrees severally and not jointly, that (i) it has not made or invited (directly or indirectly), and will not make or invite, an offer of the Securities or the Guarantees for issue or sale in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in Australia), and (ii) it has not distributed or published, and will not distribute or publish, the Prospectus or any other offering material or advertisement relating to the Securities or the Guarantees in Australia, unless (i) the aggregate consideration payable by each offeree or invitee is at least A$500,000 (or its equivalent in another currency, in either case, disregarding moneys lent by the offeror or its associates (as defined in the Corporations Act)) or the offer or invitation otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act, (ii) the offer or invitation is not made to a person who is a “retail client” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act, (iii) such action complies with all applicable laws, regulations and directives, and (iv) such action does not require any document to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or the Australian Securities Exchange Limited.

15

(b) Each Underwriter represents and agrees severally and not jointly that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Securities to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:

(c) Each Underwriter represents and agrees severally and not jointly that (i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company or the Guarantor; and (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

16

(d) Each Underwriter represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Securities to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:

(e) Each of the Lead Managers agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will offer the Securities (i) to at least 10 persons, each of whom is carrying on a business of providing finance or investing or dealing in securities in the course of operating in financial markets, and is not known, or suspected, to be an associate (as defined in section 128F(9) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of Australia (the “Australian Tax Act”)) of any other persons to whom the offer is made by the relevant Lead Manager under this sub-paragraph (e)(i); or (ii) in such other manner as which satisfies section 128F(3) of the Australian Tax Act. Such offers will be made within 30 days of the relevant Lead Manager being unconditionally obliged to offer the Securities for sale.

(f) Each Underwriter represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that it is and will be acting as an Underwriter in the course of carrying on a business of providing finance, or investing or dealing in securities in the course of operating in financial markets.

(g) Each Underwriter represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that, in connection with the primary distribution of the Securities, it will not (directly or indirectly) sell Securities to any person if, at the time of such sale, the employees of the Underwriter who are involved in making the offer, effecting the sale or otherwise directly involved in the sale knew or had reasonable grounds to suspect that, as a result of such sale, any Securities (or an interest in any Securities) was being, or would be, acquired (directly or indirectly) by an Offshore Associate (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, if the relevant employees of an Underwriter do not know, or do not have reasonable grounds to suspect, that a person is an associate of the Company or the Guarantor, nothing in this paragraph (g) obliges that Underwriter to make positive inquiries of that person to confirm that person is not an Offshore Associate.

17

In this paragraph, “Offshore Associate” means an associate (as defined in section 128F(9) of the Australian Tax Act) of the Company or the Guarantor that is either (i) a non-resident of Australia that does not acquire, or would not acquire, the Securities in carrying on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia, or (ii) a resident of Australia that acquires, or would acquire, the Securities at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia, which, in either case, is not acquiring or would not acquire the Securities in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the placement of those Securities or in the capacity of a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of an Australian registered scheme.

(h) Each Underwriter will provide to the Company, within 14 days of receipt of a request from the Company, such information as is reasonably required for the purposes of assisting the Company to demonstrate (to the extent necessary) that the public offer test under section 128F of the Australian Tax Act has been satisfied, but no Underwriter is obliged to disclose any information which would be contrary to or prohibited by any relevant law, regulation or directive or any confidentiality agreement binding upon an Underwriter.

(i) Each Underwriter represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Lead Managers, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission other than one or more pricing term sheets relating to the Securities that contain customary information not inconsistent in any material respect with the information set forth in Schedule II hereto.

5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are subject to the following conditions:

(a) The Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Agreement. If the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b), the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have become effective by the date of this Agreement. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A under the Securities Act shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission. The Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Agreement. All requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with to the Lead Managers’ reasonable satisfaction.

18

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date,

(c) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date:

in each case to the effect set forth in clause (b)(i) and (ii) above with respect to the Company’s or the Guarantor’s securities, as applicable, and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied on or before the Closing Date.

19

The Director and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer signing and delivering such certificates may rely upon the best of their knowledge after reasonable inquiry.

(d) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Herbert Smith Freehills, Australian counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, dated the Closing Date, in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(e) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion and 10b-5 statement of Sullivan & Cromwell, special United States counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, dated the Closing Date, in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(g) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion and 10b-5 statement of Sidley Austin, United States counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Managers.

(h) On the date hereof, each of PwC and Ernst & Young shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter, dated the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Managers, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information described in subparagraphs (A) and (B), respectively, of Section 1(s) of this Agreement, in each case, which financial statements and financial information are contained or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and the Registration Statement.

(i) On the Closing Date, PwC shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished by PwC pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section 5, except that the “cut-off” date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(j) The Indenture shall have been duly executed and delivered by each of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, the Securities shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantees shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and the Securities shall have been duly authenticated by the Trustee.

20

(k) The issue and sale of the Securities shall not violate the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or the Guarantor.

(l) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Australian Securities Exchange or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market by the Commission, by any such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction, or trading in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantor on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. federal, New York state or Australian authorities or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the U.S. or Australia, or a declaration by the U.S. or Australia of a national emergency or war or (iv) a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the U.S. or Australia shall be such) the effect of which, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), is, in the judgment of the Lead Managers, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the sale or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further certificates and documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request. The Lead Managers may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder.

(e) Before preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Lead Managers a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Lead Managers reasonably objects.

22

(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 is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 under the Securities Act would be required by law to be) delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information and/or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information and/or the Prospectus to comply with law, forthwith to prepare and, subject to paragraph (e) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required), and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the)Lead Managers will furnish to the Company and the Guarantor) to which Securities may have been sold by the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as the case may be, will comply with law.

(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with defending, investigating or preparing to defend any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted), joint or several, 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 caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor in writing by such Underwriter through the Lead Managers expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 15 of this Agreement.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, the Guarantor, each of their respective directors, officers and authorized representatives who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company or the Guarantor in writing by such Underwriter through the Lead Managers expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 15 of this Agreement.

25

(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be instituted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be instituted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person 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 Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding 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 Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Lead Managers and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantor, their respective directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantor shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 the Guarantor or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

27

(e) The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 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 paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any other liability that the Company, the Guarantor or the Underwriters, as the case may be, may otherwise have, including in respect of any breaches of representations, warranties and agreements made herein by any such party, nor shall they limit any other rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Process Agent.

(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court sitting in New York City and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and binding upon itself and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Guarantor has irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System, acting through its office at 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005, United States of America, as its agent (the “Process Agent”) to accept and acknowledge, on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding brought and shall deliver to the Lead Managers written evidence satisfactory to the Lead Managers that the Process Agent has been duly empowered to so act. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that service of process upon the Process Agent and written notice of said process mailed or delivered to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the address provided in Section 15 of this Agreement shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to take all action as may be necessary to continue the appointment of CT Corporation System as Process Agent in full force and effect. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to have at all times a Process Agent for the above purposes in New York City and to irrevocably appoint promptly another Process Agent satisfactory to the Lead Managers (and to deliver to the Lead Managers written evidence satisfactory to the Lead Managers of such appointment) if CT Corporation System shall cease to act as Process Agent for the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter to bring proceedings against the Company or the Guarantor in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

28

(b) Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any amount required to be paid by the Company or the Guarantor hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars and its obligation to make any such payment shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment in any other currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the full amount of U.S. dollars expressed to be payable being received. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor to make U.S. dollar payments shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in U.S. dollars of the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of U.S. dollars expressed to be payable. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that, if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any proceeding relating to its obligations hereunder, it is necessary to convert a sum payable by the Company or the Guarantor in U.S. dollars, the rate of exchange used shall be the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the business day immediately preceding that on which final judgment is given.

29

9. Effectiveness and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of this Agreement. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice given by the Lead Managers on behalf of the Underwriters to and received by the Company and the Guarantor prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii), 5(k) or 5(l) of this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing.

10. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it 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 I bears to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Lead Managers may specify, 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 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 Lead Managers 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 or the Guarantor. In any such case either the Lead Managers 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 and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantor and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except as provided in Section 7 of this Agreement with respect to affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and controlling persons of the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 11, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

12. Underwriters’ Expenses. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or the Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will pay all expenses as set forth in Section 6(j) of this Agreement, including reimbursement of the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, of all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder (including the fees and expenses of Sidley Austin). The Guarantor agrees to make on behalf of the Company any payments required to be made but not made by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 12.

The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantor or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Company, the Guarantor or the Underwriters or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or controlling persons.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Guarantor.

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

The Company and the Guarantor may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company and the Guarantor may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company or the Guarantor from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company or the Guarantor, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), provided, however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken based on such record date previously set. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s or Guarantor’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company or the Guarantor in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 90th day after the applicable record date.

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

-10-

(2) the Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed by regular mail, sent by overnight courier, delivered or e-mailed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, e-mail: companyinfo@woodside.com, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address or e-mail address previously furnished by the Company or Guarantor by notice to the Trustee for itself and for the benefit of the Holders.

All notices delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of (a) actual receipt thereof or (b) the receipt of a registered mail receipt in respect of a notice properly addressed under this Section 105.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, elects to give the Trustee or the Paying Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s or the Paying Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company and the Guarantor understand and agree that the Trustee and Paying Agent cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee and Paying Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee and Paying Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company and the Guarantor shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and Paying Agent and that the Company, the Guarantor and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable. Neither the Trustee nor Paying Agent shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s or the Paying Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company and the Guarantor agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee and Paying Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee or Paying Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and Paying Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee and Paying Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security of any series other than a provision that expressly states that this paragraph is not applicable to the Securities of such series, when this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of Securities in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary.

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

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable, insert —, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US$__________].

[If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 10 days’ notice, [if applicable, insert — (1) on __________ in any year commencing with the year _____ and ending with the year _____ through operation of the sinking fund for this series at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, and (2)] at any time [if applicable, insert — on or after __________, 20__], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount): If redeemed [if applicable, insert — on or before __________, _____%, and if redeemed] during the 12-month period beginning __________ of the years indicated,

and thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to _____% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption [if applicable, insert — (whether through operation of the sinking fund or otherwise)] with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.]

-17-

[If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than [10] days’ notice, (1) on __________ in any year commencing with the year _____ and ending with the year _____ through operation of the sinking fund for this series at the Redemption Prices for redemption through operation of the sinking fund (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth in the table below, and (2) at any time [if applicable, insert — on or after __________], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at the Redemption Prices for redemption otherwise than through operation of the sinking fund (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth in the table below: If redeemed during the 12-month period beginning _______________ of the years indicated,

[If applicable, insert — Prior to [ ], 20[ ] ([ ] ([ ]) month[s] prior to the maturity date of the Securities of this series) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities of this series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus [ ] basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities of this series, 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 Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

-18-

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.]

[If applicable, insert — Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, prior to _______________, redeem any Securities of this series as contemplated by [if applicable, insert -- Clause (2) of] the preceding paragraph as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice) of less than _____% per annum.]

[if applicable, insert — [In addition to its ability to redeem this Security pursuant to the foregoing], this Security may be redeemed by the Company or the Guarantor on the terms set forth, and as more fully described, in the Indenture, if the Company or the Guarantor determines that if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after [insert date] of such Securities or Guarantee or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such date, (i) the Company or the Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities or Guarantees as set forth [in the Guarantee endorsed hereon] or (ii) the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is or would be required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company to enable the Company to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Securities and, in each case, the payment of such additional amounts in the case of (i) above or such deduction or withholding in the case of Clause (ii) above cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary.

-19-

[If applicable, insert — The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption on _______________ in each year beginning with the year _____ and ending with the year _____ of [if applicable, insert -- not less than US$_____ (“mandatory sinking fund”) and not more than] US$_____ aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. Securities of this series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [if applicable, insert — mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert -- mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made [if applicable, insert —, in the inverse order in which they become due].]

[The Securities may also be redeemed in whole, but not in part, upon not less than [10] nor more than [60] days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption [if the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert formula for determining amount] if the Person formed by a consolidation with the Guarantor or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which the Guarantor conveys, transfers or leases its properties and assets substantially as an entirety is required to pay a Holder Additional Amounts in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed on any such Holder or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Holder as a consequence of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease.]

[If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert — In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

[If applicable, insert — The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the series of which this Security is a part or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.]

[If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]

[If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to — insert formula for determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of, premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

-20-

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal amount of, or any premium, interest with respect to any Security or the date fixed for redemption of any Security shall not be a Business Day at a Place of Payment, then payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, or interest, need not be made on such date at such Place of Payment but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such due date.

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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor 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 specified percentages 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 or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, the Guarantee endorsed hereon, this Security or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 90 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal amount of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

(18) if applicable, that any Securities of the series shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective Depositaries for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by any such Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth in Section 202 and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 305 in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof;

(19) any addition to or change in the Events of Default which applies to any Securities of the series and any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities to declare the principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section 502;

(20) any deletion or addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Article Ten that apply to Securities of the series;

(21) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 901(5));

(22) any Additional Amounts, pursuant to Section 1006, payable by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and, if applicable, any related right to an optional redemption pursuant to Section 1108 for such a series of Securities;

(23) if the series of Securities provides for further issuances of such series; and

(24) if the series of Securities provides for different limitations on transfer or exchange from those set forth in Section 305.

The terms of all Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be established in or pursuant to Board Resolutions or supplemental indentures referred to above.

To the extent any terms of the Securities of the series are established pursuant to such Board Resolutions or supplemental indentures, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or the Guarantor and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

Section 302. Denominations.

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of US$1,000 and any integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities and any Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any one Director or Authorized Officer and on behalf of the Guarantor by any one Director or Authorized Officer, as the case may be. The signature of any Director or Authorized Officer on the Securities or any Guarantee, as the case may be, may be manual or electronic. If Article Fourteen is to be applicable to the Securities of any series, established as contemplated by Section 301, then the Guarantee endorsed on the Securities of such series shall be executed as provided in Section 1402.

-27-

Securities or any Guarantee bearing the manual or electronic signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Director or Authorized Officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or Guarantee or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or the Guarantee.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company having the Guarantee endorsed thereon executed by the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

(1) if any form of such Securities or Guarantee has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolutions or indentures supplemental hereto as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) if any terms of such Securities or Guarantee have been established pursuant to Board Resolution or indentures supplemental hereto as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(3) that such Securities and the Guarantee thereof, when such Securities and the Guarantee has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company and the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and to such other matters as counsel shall specify therein.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities, the applicable Guarantee and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued and reasonably contemplate the original issuance of each Security of such series.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

-28-

No Security or Guarantee thereof shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or electronic signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security and Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture (including, if applicable, the Guarantee pursuant to Article Fourteen).

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor by its execution of this Indenture hereby authorizes the Company, in the name and on behalf of the Guarantor, to confirm the applicable Guarantee to the Holder of each Security authenticated and delivered hereunder by its execution and delivery of each such Security, with such Guarantee endorsed thereon, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and upon a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities and having endorsed thereon the applicable Guarantee of the Guarantor, substantially in the tenor of the definitive Guarantee, in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the directors or officers executing such Securities or Guarantee may determine, as evidenced by their execution.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, having endorsed thereon the applicable Guarantee of the Guarantor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) General

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of such Securities as herein provided and the Trustee hereby accepts such appointment. There shall be only one Security Registrar for each series of Securities.

-29-

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, each such Security having endorsed thereon a Guarantee of the Guarantor.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, each such Security having endorsed thereon the applicable Guarantee of the Guarantor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and applicable Guarantee surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing (with the signatures guaranteed in satisfactory form, if reasonably required by the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee).

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or Section 1107 not involving any transfer.

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

(b) Global Securities

The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities.

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

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company and the Guarantor that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.

-30-

(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

(4) Every Security authenticated and made available for delivery upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon the Guarantee of the Guarantor, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having endorsed thereon the Guarantee of the Guarantor, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

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

-31-

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

-32-

No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of any Security.

None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311. CUSIP or “ISIN” Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall assume no responsibility for the accuracy of such numbers and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

-33-

-36-

(11) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series and any interest accrued thereon (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof established as contemplated by Section 301) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and any interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

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

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

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607;

and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

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

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission and annulment of any such declaration, pursuant to this Section 502 with respect to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission or annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such declaration, or rescission or annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration, or rescission or annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

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

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof and such default continues for a period of three Business Days,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607.

If the Company fails 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, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, as the case may be, 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 Securities, as the case may be, wherever situated.

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

In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(2) the action so directed would not be unduly prejudicial to the other Holders, and

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

provided further that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to determine whether any such direction shall be in such conflict or so unduly prejudicial.

Such lien and the obligations of the Company under this Section 607 shall survive satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

In the event the Company fails to make any such payments, the Guarantor agrees to make such payments on its behalf which agreement shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or the Guarantor or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the Guarantor and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company . If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

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

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

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or the Guarantor (or any such other obligor).

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee, with the consent of the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, except upon original issue or pursuant to Section 306, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than US$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company and the Guarantor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

-49-

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing or by Electronic Means (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect of such series of Securities.

Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, be paid to the Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, or (if then held by the Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

In that event, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts of, or in respect of, principal and any premium and interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges payable in respect of such) in the payment to each Holder of a Security of the amounts which would have been payable in respect of such Security or any Guarantee thereof, as the case may be, had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be so payable for or on account of:

(1) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the fact that such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

-59-

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

(4) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities or the Guarantees;

(5) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Security with a request of the Company or the Guarantor addressed to the Holder (A) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirement (including, as applicable, supplying an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business number or exemption details), which, in the case of (A) or (B), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(6) any tax, assessment or other governmental change imposed as a result of the Security or a Guarantee being presented for payment in Australia unless presentment could not have been made elsewhere;

(7) any withholding or deduction required to be made with respect to a Security or Guarantee presented for payment by or on behalf of a Holder of such Security or Guarantee who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security or Guarantee to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union;

(8) to the extent the Company or the Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct an amount or pay any tax, duty or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the Australian Commissioner of Taxation giving a notice under section 260-5 of Schedule 1 to the Australian Tax Administration Act of 1953 of Australia or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act (or similar provision, in relation to any other taxes, duties, assessment or other governmental charges, as amended from time to time), in respect of the Security or the Guarantee;

(9) any withholding or deduction required to be paid on the interest (as defined in Section 128A(IAB) of the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 of Australia (the “Australia Tax Act”) and which, among other things, includes amounts in the nature of, or in substitution for, interest) payable on the Security because the Holder of a Security is an “associate” of the Company (as that term is defined in section 128F(9) of the Australia Tax Act);

(10) any withholding or deduction for which a determination is made by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation that the withholding or deduction is payable because the Holder has participated in a scheme to avoid withholding tax provided that neither the Company nor the Guarantor participated in or was a party to such scheme; or

(11) any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) or (10);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, premium, if any or any interest on any Security or any Guarantee to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Security.

-60-

In addition, any amounts to be paid on the Securities will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable, the “Internal Revenue Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and no Additional Amounts will be required to be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is resident, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; provided, however, that such payment of Additional Amounts may be subject to such further exceptions as may be established in the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 301.

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any payments pursuant to a Guarantee thereof or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Section 1007. Limitation on Liens

So long as any Securities are Outstanding, the Guarantor will not itself, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed (all such Indebtedness for Money Borrowed being hereinafter in this Article called “Debt”), secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on any shares of stock in, or Indebtedness of, any Restricted Subsidiary, without effectively providing that the Securities of any series (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary which is not subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Securities of any series) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured. This Section shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any computation under this Section, Debt secured by:

(a) any Lien existing at the date of the issuance of the outstanding Securities of a series;

(b) any Lien on Property of, or on any shares of stock in, or Indebtedness of, any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person (or a division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary;

-61-

(c) any Lien in favor of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(e) any Lien in favor of the Commonwealth of Australia, any state or territory thereof, or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of either, or any municipal or local authority in Australia, or in favor of any other country or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof or any municipal or local authority therein;

(f) any Lien over oil, gas or other minerals in place or geothermal resources in place, or on related leasehold or other property interests, which are incurred to finance development, production or acquisition costs (including but not limited to Liens securing advance sale obligations);

(g) any Lien over equipment used or usable for drilling, servicing or operation of oil, gas or other mineral properties or geothermal properties;

(h) any Lien on or over all or any part of the interest of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in any Joint Ventures, including the revenues and assets derived by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in such Joint Venture, in favor of its co-venturers or the manager or operator of the Joint Venture (such entities, “Joint Venture Parties”), in each case, to secure the payment of amounts payable to Joint Venture Parties under or in respect of such Joint Ventures;

(i) any Lien required by any contract or statute in order to permit the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to perform any contract or subcontract made with or at the request of the Commonwealth of Australia, any state or territory thereof, or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of either, or any municipal or local authority in Australia, or with or at the request of any other country or any department, agency instrumentality or political sub-division thereof or any municipal or local authority therein;

(j) any Lien securing taxes or assessments or other applicable governmental charges or levies, including sales taxes, value added taxes and customs and excise taxes and duties that either (a) are not yet delinquent by more than 30 days or (b) are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves have been established or other provisions have been made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; or

(k) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in clauses (a) to (j), inclusive, for amounts not exceeding the principal amount of the borrowed money secured by the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced, provided that such extension, renewal or replacement Lien is limited to all or a part of the same Property or shares or stock of the Restricted Subsidiary that secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such Property).

-62-

Notwithstanding the above, the Guarantor and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may create, issue, incur, assume, guarantee or in any other manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of Debt secured by a Lien that would otherwise be prohibited under this Section 1007 provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such Debt of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of them together secured by Liens pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed 15% of Woodside’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the date within 150 days prior to such determination.

The following transactions shall not be deemed to create Debt secured by a Lien:

(a) the sale or other transfer of oil, gas or other minerals in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the transferee will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a specified amount of oil, gas or other minerals, or the sale or other transfer of any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as an oil, gas or other mineral payment or a production payment; and

(b) the sale or other transfer by the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of properties to a partnership, joint venture or other entity whereby the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary would retain partial ownership of such properties.

“Funded Debt” means all Indebtedness for Money Borrowed which is not by its terms subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Securities, having a maturity of more than 12 months from the date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined or having a maturity of less than 12 months but by its terms being (i) renewable or extendible beyond 12 months from such date at the option of the obligor or (ii) issued in connection with a commitment by a bank or other financial institution to lend so that such indebtedness is treated as though it had a maturity in excess of 12 months pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles.

“Indebtedness” means any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed or representing the deferred purchase price of property or assets purchased.

“Indebtedness for Money Borrowed” means any indebtedness for money borrowed now or hereafter existing and any liabilities under any bond, note, bill, loan, stock or other security in each case issued for cash or in respect of acceptance credit facilities or as consideration for assets or services, but excluding such liabilities incurred in relation to the acquisition of goods or services in the ordinary course of business of the person incurring such liabilities.

“Property” means any asset, revenue or any other property, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal, including, without limitation, any right to receive income.

“Restricted Subsidiary” means a Subsidiary of the Guarantor (i) that has substantially all of its assets located in Australia, onshore or offshore, and (ii) that owns a Principal Property.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101. Applicability of Article.

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of such series) in accordance with this Article.

Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least five Business Days prior to the date that the notice of redemption is sent (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 301, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

-64-

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated in Section 301, with respect to any series of Securities, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

(2) the Redemption Price (or, if the Redemption Price is not then determinable, the methodology for determining the Redemption Price) plus accrued interest, if any,

(3) the CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number of such Securities to be redeemed,

(4) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,

-65-

(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (together with any accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Redemption Date) will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and accrued interest, if any,

(7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and

(8) any conditions precedent applicable to the redemption.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided, however, in the latter case, the Company shall give the Trustee at least five days prior written notice.

Any notice of redemption of the Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Company may state that such redemption shall be conditional, in the Company’s discretion, on one or more conditions precedent, and that the Redemption Date may (but shall not be required to) be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied, and that such conditional notice of redemption may be rescinded by the Company if the Company determines that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied by the Redemption Date, and that in such event, such redemption notice shall be of no further force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem the Securities of the series to have been redeemed on the Redemption Date or otherwise. Notice shall be given to each Holder of Securities of the series to be redeemed, at his or her address appearing in the Securities Register. The Trustee shall promptly send a copy of such notice to the Holders of the Securities of such series.

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Not later than 10:00 a.m. in the Place of Payment on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

-66-

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

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; provided, that if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

Section 1108. Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment.

If as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the original issue date of such Securities or Guarantee or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such issue date, (a) the Company or the Guarantor (or such Subsidiary) is or would be required to pay any Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1006 of this Indenture or the terms of any Guarantee, as the case may be, (1) in respect of interest on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (assuming, in the case of the Guarantor, a payment in respect of such interest were required to be made by the Guarantor under the Guarantee thereof on such Interest Payment Date), or (2) in respect of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities and assuming, in the case of the Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such principal were required to be made by it on such date pursuant to the Guarantee, or (b) the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor is or would be required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company (or such Subsidiary) to enable the Company (or such Subsidiary) to make any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and, in each case, the payment of such Additional Amounts, in the case of (a) above or such deduction or withholding in the case of (b) above cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary, the Company or the Guarantor may, at either of their options, redeem all (but not less than all) the Securities of any series in respect of which such Additional Amounts would be so payable at any time, upon notice as provided in Sections 1102 and 1104, at a Redemption Price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that any such Securities that are Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified in the terms thereof); provided, however, that (a) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Guarantor would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities or the Guarantee thereof then due, and (b) at the time any such redemption notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect.

-67-

If (1) the Company or the Guarantor shall have on any date (the “Succession Date”) consolidated with or merged into, or conveyed or transferred or leased their properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any Successor Person referred to in Section 801(3), and (2) as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or published tax rulings of such jurisdiction of organization, or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, affecting taxation, or any change in the official administration, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or published tax rulings either generally or in relation to any particular Securities, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Succession Date or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such Succession Date, such Successor Person would be required to pay any Successor Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 801(3) hereof or the terms of any Security or the Guarantee thereof (i) in respect of interest on any Securities on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (assuming, in the case of a Successor Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such interest were required to be made by such Successor Guarantor under the Guarantee on such Interest Payment Date), or (ii) in respect of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities on the date of such determination (assuming such principal were required to be paid on such date under the terms of the Securities and, in either case if involving a Successor Guarantor, that a payment in respect of such principal were required to be made by such Successor Guarantor on such date pursuant to the Guarantee), on which, in the case of a Successor Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor would be unable, for reasons outside their control, to procure payment by the Company (or the Successor Person thereof), and the obligation to pay Successor Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company or Successor Person, the Company or the Successor Person may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) the Securities of any series in respect of which such Successor Additional Amounts would be so payable at any time, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ written notice as provided in Sections 1102 and 1104, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that any such Securities that are Outstanding Original Issue Discount Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price specified in the terms thereof); provided, however, that (1) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which a Person would be obligated to pay such Successor Additional Amounts, and (2) at the time any such redemption notice is given, such obligation to pay such Successor Additional Amounts must remain in effect.

Prior to any redemption of any Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company or a Successor Person shall provide the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company or a Successor Person to redeem such Securities pursuant to this Section have occurred and a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect of such Securities, cannot be avoided by taking measures that the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, believes are reasonable. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be based on the laws and application and interpretation thereof in effect on the date of such opinion or to become effective on or before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

On and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”) with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series, pursuant to this Section 1303, (1) the Company and the Guarantor shall be released from their respective obligations under Section 801, 1005 and 1007, and any covenants established as contemplated by Section 301(20) or adopted by indenture supplemental hereto under Section 901(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(4) with respect to any obligations referred to in Clause (1) of this Section 1303 shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby.

The following shall be the conditions to the Defeasance pursuant to Section 1302 or the Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 1303 of the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series:

(2) The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest (and any Additional Amounts then known) on the Securities of such series and any Additional Amounts then known thereon on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such series. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt.

(3) In the event of a Defeasance pursuant to Section 1302, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company or the Guarantor have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(4) In the event of a Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 1303, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

(5) The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, Defeasance and discharge, or such deposit and Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, will not cause the Holders of such Securities to recognize income, gain or loss for Australian tax purposes and to the effect that all payments out of the trust fund will be made free and exempt from any and all withholding or other income taxes of whatever nature of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

(6) The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Securities of such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit.

-71-

(7) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) through (10), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

(8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such act and that such act applied to this Indenture).

(9) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound.

(10) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

(11) The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 1305. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Trustee or the trust created hereby with respect to the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal 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 Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities 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 the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

-72-

Section 1306. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company and the Guarantor, have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

Section 1401. Guarantee.

This Section 1401 and Section 1402 applies to the Securities of any series to the extent that the form of the Guarantee to be endorsed on such Securities is not otherwise established as contemplated by Section 301.

For value received, the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to the Trustee and to each Holder of a Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed the due and punctual payment of the principal (including any amount due in respect of original issue discount) of and any premium and interest on such Security and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture, and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payments provided for pursuant to the terms of such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture. The Guarantor hereby agrees that their obligations hereunder shall be as if it were a principal debtor and not merely a surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Security of any series or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Security of any series or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of any Security of any series or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of a Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with respect to any Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect of any sinking fund payment required pursuant to the terms of a Security issued under this Indenture and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged with respect to any Security except by payment in full of the principal thereof and any premium and interest thereon or as provided in Article Four, Section 802 or Article Thirteen. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Holders and the Trustee the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

-73-

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of each Holder of Securities against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and any premium and interest on all the Securities of the same series and of like tenor shall have been paid in full.

No past, present or future stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator of the Guarantor shall have any personal liability under the Guarantee set forth in this Section 1401 by reason of his, her or their status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

The Guarantee set forth in this Section 1401 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

It is the intention of the Guarantor that the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 1402. Execution of Guarantee

To evidence its guarantee to the Holders specified in Section 1401, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Section 205 to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. The Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by any authorized person of the Guarantor. The signature of any such authorized person on the Guarantee may be manual or electronic.

A Guarantee bearing the manual or electronic signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper authorized persons of a Guarantor shall bind such Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Guarantee.

The delivery of any Security subject to the Guarantee as specified above by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse the Guarantee on any Security.

Counterparts may be delivered by via electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the electronic Signatures and records Act or other applicable law, e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or any other similar platform) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

EXECUTION VERSION

WOODSIDE FINANCE LIMITED

(ABN 97 007 285 314)

OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE

September 12, 2024

The undersigned officer of Woodside Finance Limited, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Company”), and each of the undersigned officers of Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ABN 55 004 898 962), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Guarantor”), hereby certifies, in the capacity set forth below, pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 12, 2024, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), that there is hereby established a single series of Securities (as that term is defined in the Indenture), the terms of which shall be as follows and as further set forth in the attached form of Security:

5.100% Senior Notes due 2034

1. Title. The designation of the Securities shall be 5.100% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Securities”).

2. Principal Amount. The initial aggregate principal amount of Securities shall be US$1,250,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, increase each such principal amount in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Securities. There is no limit on the aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be outstanding at any time.

3. Persons Entitled to Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 307 of the Indenture, interest will be payable to the Person in whose name a Security (or any predecessor Security) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) for such interest.

4. Payment of Principal. The principal amount of the Securities shall be payable in full on September 12, 2034, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and Clauses 6, 8 and 9 below.

5. Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates. The Securities shall bear interest at the rate of 5.100% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the date hereof or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semi-annually on March 12 and September 12 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 12, 2025, until the principal amount of the Securities has been paid or duly provided for. The “Regular Record Date” for interest payable with respect to the Securities on an Interest Payment Date shall be the February 25 and August 28 (whether or not such date is a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Company will pay interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities, the Indenture and Clause 6 below and with sufficient time to meet any applicable payment system deadline to make any such payment in respect of the Securities.

6. Business Day. For the purposes of the Securities, “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, United States of America, London, United Kingdom, Perth, Australia, or Sydney, Australia, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest with respect to such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

7. Place of Payment. Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on the Securities will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, which initially shall be the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office in the City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, including by wire transfer of such payment to the person entitled to receive such payments as specified in the Security Register; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of any amount payable in respect of a Global Security will be made in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

8. Optional Redemption due to Changes in Tax Treatment. The Securities may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, at any time in accordance with Section 1108 of the Indenture.

9. Optional Redemption Provisions.

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1108 of the Indenture, the Securities may be redeemed by the Company in whole, but not in part, at the Company’s option at any time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Amounts) on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, if any, and any other amounts due to the Redemption Date.

(b) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Indenture, the Securities may be redeemed by the Company in whole or in part, at its option at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

-2-

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities of this series, 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 Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Par Call Date” means June 12, 2034.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

-3-

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. Notice of any redemption of Securities, may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, and the Redemption Date may (but shall not be required to) be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied, and that such conditional notice of redemption may be rescinded by the Company if the Company determines that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied by the Redemption Date.

No later than 10:00 a.m. in the Place of Payment on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003 of the Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

10. Sinking Fund. The Company shall not be obligated to redeem or purchase the Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions.

11. Denominations of Securities. The Securities will be issued only in denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

12. Form of Securities. The Securities shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and shall be issued in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A. The depositary for the Global Securities representing the Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company.

13. Guarantee. The Securities will be entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee afforded by Article 14 of the Indenture.

14. Defeasance. The Securities shall be defeasible as provided in Article 13 of the Indenture.

15. Further Issuance. The Company may issue further securities of the same series on the same terms and conditions as the Securities.

Unless the context shall otherwise require, or unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Indenture.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 12, 2024 (the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, as Issuer, Woodside Energy Group Ltd, as Guarantor (the “Guarantor”, which term includes any Successor Persons under the Indenture referred to herein), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US$1,250,000,000.

Additional securities on terms and conditions identical to those of the Securities may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. The amount evidenced by such additional securities shall increase the aggregate principal amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the Securities.

Prior to June 12, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities of this series) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities of this series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities of this series, 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 Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In addition to its ability to redeem this Security pursuant to the foregoing, this Security may be redeemed by the Company or the Guarantor on the terms set forth, and as more fully described, in the Indenture, if the Company or the Guarantor determines that if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after September 5, 2024 of such Securities or Guarantee or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such date, (i) the Company or the Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities or Guarantees as set forth in the Guarantee endorsed hereon or (ii) the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is or would be required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company to enable the Company to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Securities and, in each case, the payment of such additional amounts in the case of (i) above or such deduction or withholding in the case of Clause (ii) above cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary.

The Securities may also be redeemed in whole, but not in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if the Person formed by a consolidation with the Guarantor or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which the Guarantor conveys, transfers or leases its properties and assets substantially as an entirety is required to pay a Holder Additional Amounts in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed on any such Holder or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Holder as a consequence of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the series of which this Security is a part or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal amount of, or any premium, interest with respect to any Security or the date fixed for redemption of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, or interest, need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such due date.

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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor 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 specified percentages 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 or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, the Guarantee endorsed hereon, this Security or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 90 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal amount of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer or exchange, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security and the Guarantee endorsed hereon shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof; provided, however, that all matters governing the authorization and execution of this Security by the Company shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia; and provided, further, that all matters governing the authorization and execution of any Guarantee endorsed by the Guarantor on this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.

If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

[SIGNATURE PAGE TO GLOBAL NOTE]

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 12, 2024 (the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, as Issuer, Woodside Energy Group Ltd, as Guarantor (the “Guarantor”, which term includes any Successor Persons under the Indenture referred to herein), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof limited in initial aggregate principal amount to US$750,000,000.

Additional securities on terms and conditions identical to those of the Securities may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. The amount evidenced by such additional securities shall increase the aggregate principal amount of, and shall be consolidated and form a single series with, the Securities.

Prior to March 12, 2054 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Securities of this series) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities of this series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities of this series, 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 Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In addition to its ability to redeem this Security pursuant to the foregoing, this Security may be redeemed by the Company or the Guarantor on the terms set forth, and as more fully described, in the Indenture, if the Company or the Guarantor determines that if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or the Guarantor is incorporated or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such jurisdiction (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after September 5, 2024 of such Securities or Guarantee or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such date, (i) the Company or the Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities or Guarantees as set forth in the Guarantee endorsed hereon or (ii) the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is or would be required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company to enable the Company to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Securities and, in each case, the payment of such additional amounts in the case of (i) above or such deduction or withholding in the case of Clause (ii) above cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary.

The Securities may also be redeemed in whole, but not in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice given as provided in the Indenture at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if the Person formed by a consolidation with the Guarantor or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which the Guarantor conveys, transfers or leases its properties and assets substantially as an entirety is required to pay a Holder Additional Amounts in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed on any such Holder or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Holder as a consequence of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the series of which this Security is a part or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal amount of, or any premium, interest with respect to any Security or the date fixed for redemption of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, or interest, need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such due date.

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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor 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 specified percentages 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 or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, the Guarantee endorsed hereon, this Security or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 90 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal amount of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer or exchange, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security and the Guarantee endorsed hereon shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof; provided, however, that all matters governing the authorization and execution of this Security by the Company shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia; and provided, further, that all matters governing the authorization and execution of any Guarantee endorsed by the Guarantor on this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of US$1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 5.100% Senior Notes due 2034 and US$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 5.700% Senior Notes due 2054 (collectively, the “Securities”) of Woodside Finance Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Company”), on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”), issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 12, 2024 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, Woodside Energy Group Ltd, a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, and guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the Guarantor pursuant to the guarantees contained in the Indenture relating to the Securities (the “Guarantees”), we, as your United States counsel, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that, (1) assuming the Securities have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by the Company insofar as the laws of the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia are concerned, the Securities constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, and (2) assuming the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor insofar as the laws of the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia are concerned, the Guarantees constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantor, in each case, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we are not passing upon, and assume no responsibility for, any disclosure in any registration statement or any related prospectus or other offering material relating to the offer and sale of the Securities and related Guarantees.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. For purposes of our opinion, we have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Guarantor insofar as the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia are concerned. With respect to all matters of the laws of the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia, we have relied upon the opinion, dated September 12, 2024, of Herbert Smith Freehills, Australian legal advisor to the Company and the Guarantor, and our opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinion of Herbert Smith Freehills.

Also, we have relied as to certain factual matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and the Guarantor and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, that the Securities and the Guarantees conform to the specimens thereof examined by us, that the Trustee’s certificate of authentication of the Securities has been signed by one of the Trustee’s authorized officers, and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently verified.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Report on Form 6-K to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement relating to the Securities and the Guarantees filed on Form F-3 (File Nos. 333-277499 and 333-277499-01) and to the references to us under the heading “Legal matters” in the prospectus supplement, dated September 5, 2024, which supplements the prospectus, dated February 29, 2024, included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
