Currency of Payment:    All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the notes, including any payments made upon any redemption of the notes, will be made in euro. If the euro is unavailable to the issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the issuer’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Economic and Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the issuer or so used.
Payment of Additional Amounts:    The issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, pay to the beneficial owners of


   the notes who are not United States persons, additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such holder’s note after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon that holder by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided in such holder’s note to be then due and payable.
Optional Redemption:    Except as described in “Redemption for Tax Reasons” below, the notes will not be redeemable at the issuer’s option prior to maturity.
Redemption for Tax Reasons:    The issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) which would create a material probability that the issuer would be obligated to pay additional amounts as described above. This redemption would be made on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice and at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event:    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the issuer will, in certain circumstances, be required to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
