for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. In the event such Notes are treated as equity<br />

in the Issuer, prospective investors in these Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal,<br />

state and local income and franchise tax consequences to these Notes and the Issuer.<br />

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will be treated as the issuer of the Notes.<br />

U.S. Federal Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders of the Senior Notes<br />

Stated Interest. U.S. Holders of the Senior Notes that use the cash method of accounting and receive a<br />

payment of interest on a Note denominated in euros will be required to include in gross income the U.S. dollar<br />

value of the payment in euros on the date the payment is received (based on the U.S. dollar spot rate for the<br />

euros on the date the payment is received). No exchange gain or loss will be recognised with respect to the<br />

payment.<br />

U.S. Holders of the Senior Notes that use the accrual method of accounting or that otherwise are required to<br />

accrue interest prior to receipt, will be required to include in gross income the U.S. dollar value of the amount of<br />

interest income that has accrued during the Interest Accrual Period. The U.S. dollar value of the accrued interest<br />

will be determined by translating the interest income at the average U.S. dollar exchange rate for euros in effect<br />

during the Interest Accrual Period or, with respect to an Interest Accrual Period that spans two taxable years, the<br />

partial period within the taxable year. A U.S. Holder may, however, elect to translate the accrued interest<br />

income using the U.S. dollar spot rate for euros on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period or, with respect to<br />

an accrual period that spans two taxable years, on the last day of the taxable year. However, if the last day of an<br />

Interest Accrual Period is within five business days of the receipt of accrued interest, the interest may be<br />

translated at the U.S. dollar spot rate on the date of receipt. If a U.S. Holder makes the election, it must be<br />

applied consistently to all of the U.S. Holder’s debt instruments and may not be changed without the consent of<br />

the IRS.<br />

An accrual basis U.S. Holder will recognise exchange gain or loss with respect to accrued interest income<br />

on the date the payment of the income is received in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the U.S.<br />

dollar value of the payment in euros on the date received (based on the U.S. dollar spot rate for euros on the date<br />

received) and the U.S. dollar value of the accrued interest income inclusion (computed as determined above).<br />

Any exchange gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.<br />

Commitment Fee. U.S. Holders of Class A1A Notes that use the cash method of accounting and receive a<br />

payment of a Commitment Fee denominated in euro will be required to include in gross income the U.S. dollar<br />

value of the payment in euros on the date the payment is received (based on the U.S. dollar spot rate for the<br />

euros on the date the payment is received). No exchange gain or loss will be recognised with respect to the<br />

payment.<br />

U.S. Holders of the Class A1A Notes that use the accrual method of accounting, or that otherwise are<br />

required to accrue a Commitment Fee prior to receipt, will be required to include in gross income the U.S. dollar<br />

value of the amount of the Commitment Fee that has accrued during the Interest Accrual Period. The U.S.<br />

dollar value of the accrued Commitment Fee will be determined by translating the Commitment Fee at the<br />

average U.S. dollar exchange rate for euros in effect during the Interest Accrual Period.<br />

An accrual basis U.S. Holder will recognise exchange gain or loss with respect to the accrued Commitment<br />

Fee on the date the payment of the Commitment Fee is received in an amount equal to the difference, if any,<br />

between the U.S. dollar value of the payment in euros on the date received (based on the U.S. dollar spot rate for<br />

euros on the date received) and the U.S. dollar value of the accrued Commitment Fee (computed as determined<br />

above). Any exchange gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.<br />

U.S. Holders of the Class A1A Notes will include in gross income payable payments of the Commitment<br />

Fee accrued or received on the Class A1A Notes in accordance with their usual method of tax accounting.<br />

Sale, <strong>Exchange</strong> and Retirement of the Senior Notes. A U.S. Holder of a Senior Note will, in general, have a<br />

basis in their Note equal to the U.S. dollar value of the euros paid (based on the U.S. dollar spot rate for euros on<br />

the date of acquisition) reduced by the U.S. dollar value of any payments of principal received (based on the<br />

U.S. dollar spot rate for euros on the date received). Upon a sale, exchange, or retirement of a Senior Note, a<br />

U.S. Holder will generally recognise gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the<br />

euros received on the date of sale, exchange or retirement (less any accrued and unpaid interest, which will be<br />

taxable as described above) and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Note.<br />
