TAX CONSIDERATIONS<br />

General<br />

The following is a summary, based upon present law, of certain Dutch, German, United Kingdom and U.S.<br />

federal income tax considerations for prospective purchasers of the Notes. The discussion does not consider the<br />

circumstances of particular purchasers, some of which (such as banks, insurance companies, dealers, traders,<br />

financial institutions, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, tax exempt<br />

organisations or persons holding the Notes as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion, integrated transaction or<br />

constructive sale transaction with other investments) are subject to special tax regimes. The discussion is a<br />

general summary; it is not a substitute for tax advice.<br />

EACH PROSPECT<strong>IV</strong>E PURCHASER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT<br />

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES UNDER THE LAWS OF THE<br />

NETHERLANDS, THE UNITED STATES AND ITS CONSTITUENT JURISDICTIONS, AND ANY<br />

OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE THE PURCHASER MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION.<br />

Purchasers of Notes may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and<br />

practices of the country of purchase in addition to the issue price of each Note.<br />

Potential purchasers who are in any doubt about their tax position on purchase, ownership, transfer or<br />

exercise of any rights in respect of any Note should consult their own tax advisers. In particular, no<br />

representation is made as to the manner in which payments under the Notes would be characterised by<br />

any relevant taxing authority.<br />

Taxation of The Netherlands<br />

The comments below are of a general nature based on taxation law and practice in The Netherlands as at<br />

the date of this Prospectus and are subject to any changes therein. They relate only to the position of persons<br />

who are absolute beneficial owners of the Notes. The following is a general description of certain tax<br />

considerations relating to the Notes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations<br />

relating to the Notes and so should be treated with appropriate caution. In particular, it does not take into<br />

consideration any tax implications that may arise on a substitution of the Issuer. Prospective investors should<br />

consult their own professional advisors concerning the possible tax consequences of purchasing, holding and/or<br />

selling Notes and receiving payments of interest, principal and/or other amounts under the Notes under the<br />

applicable laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.<br />

Under the existing laws of The Netherlands:<br />

(a) all payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes can be made free of withholding or<br />

deduction for any taxes of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, withheld, or assessed by The<br />

Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein;<br />

(b) a holder of a Note who derives income from a Note or who realises a gain on the disposal or<br />

redemption of a Note will not be subject to Dutch taxation on such income or capital gain, unless:<br />

(i) the holder is, or is deemed to be, resident in The Netherlands or, where the holder is an individual,<br />

such holder has elected to be treated as a resident of The Netherlands; or<br />

(ii) such income or gain is attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is either effectively<br />

managed in The Netherlands or carried on through a permanent establishment (vaste inrichting) or<br />

a permanent representative (vaste vertegenwoordiger) in The Netherlands; or<br />

(iii) the holder is an individual and such income or gain qualifies as income from activities that exceed<br />

normal active portfolio management in The Netherlands;<br />

(c) Dutch gift, estate or inheritance taxes will not be levied on the occasion of the transfer of a Note by<br />

way of gift by, or on the death of, a holder unless:<br />

(i) the holder is, or is deemed to be, resident in The Netherlands for the purpose of the relevant<br />

provisions; or<br />
