U.S. fe<strong>de</strong>ral income tax purposes) held by the U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r at the beginning of the first taxable year towhich the election applies or thereafter acquired by the U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r, and <strong>is</strong> irrevocable without thecons<strong>en</strong>t of the IRS. See also “— Election to Treat All Interest as Original Issue D<strong>is</strong>count”.Election to Treat All Interest as Original Issue D<strong>is</strong>countA U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r may elect to inclu<strong>de</strong> in gross income all interest that accrues on a Note using theconstant-yield method <strong>de</strong>scribed above un<strong>de</strong>r “— G<strong>en</strong>eral,” with certain modifications. For purposesof th<strong>is</strong> election, interest inclu<strong>de</strong>s stated interest, OID, <strong>de</strong> minim<strong>is</strong> OID, market d<strong>is</strong>count, <strong>de</strong> minim<strong>is</strong>market d<strong>is</strong>count and unstated interest, as adjusted by any amort<strong>is</strong>able bond premium (<strong>de</strong>scribed aboveun<strong>de</strong>r “— Notes Purchased at a Premium”) or acqu<strong>is</strong>ition premium. Th<strong>is</strong> election will g<strong>en</strong>erallyapply only to the Note with respect to which it <strong>is</strong> ma<strong>de</strong> and may not be revoked without the cons<strong>en</strong>t ofthe IRS. If the election to apply the constant-yield method to all interest on a Note <strong>is</strong> ma<strong>de</strong> withrespect to a Market D<strong>is</strong>count Note, the electing U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r will be treated as having ma<strong>de</strong> theelection d<strong>is</strong>cussed above un<strong>de</strong>r “— Market D<strong>is</strong>count” to inclu<strong>de</strong> market d<strong>is</strong>count in income curr<strong>en</strong>tlyover the life of all <strong>de</strong>bt instrum<strong>en</strong>ts with market d<strong>is</strong>count held or thereafter acquired by the U.S.Hol<strong>de</strong>r. U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>rs should consult their tax adv<strong>is</strong>ers concerning the propriety and consequ<strong>en</strong>ces ofth<strong>is</strong> election.Conting<strong>en</strong>t Paym<strong>en</strong>t Debt Instrum<strong>en</strong>tsCertain Series or Tranches of Notes may be treated as “conting<strong>en</strong>t paym<strong>en</strong>t <strong>de</strong>bt instrum<strong>en</strong>ts” for U.S.fe<strong>de</strong>ral income tax purposes (“Conting<strong>en</strong>t Notes”). Un<strong>de</strong>r applicable U.S. Treasury regulations,interest on Conting<strong>en</strong>t Notes will be treated as OID, and must be accrued on a constant-yield bas<strong>is</strong>based on a yield to maturity that reflects the rate at which the Issuer would <strong>is</strong>sue a comparable fixedrat<strong>en</strong>on-exchangeable instrum<strong>en</strong>t (the “comparable yield”), in accordance with a projected paym<strong>en</strong>tschedule. Th<strong>is</strong> projected paym<strong>en</strong>t schedule must inclu<strong>de</strong> each non-conting<strong>en</strong>t paym<strong>en</strong>t on theConting<strong>en</strong>t Notes and an estimated amount for each conting<strong>en</strong>t paym<strong>en</strong>t, and must produce thecomparable yield.The Issuer <strong>is</strong> required to provi<strong>de</strong> to hol<strong>de</strong>rs, solely for U.S. fe<strong>de</strong>ral income tax purposes, a schedule ofthe projected amounts of paym<strong>en</strong>ts on Conting<strong>en</strong>t Notes. Th<strong>is</strong> schedule must produce the comparableyield. The comparable yield and projected paym<strong>en</strong>t schedule will be available from the Issuer bysubmitting a writt<strong>en</strong> request for such information to Rabobank International, Croeselaan 18, 3521 CBUtrecht, The Netherlands.THE COMPARABLE YIELD AND PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE WILL NOT BEDETERMINED FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN FOR THE DETERMINATION OFINTEREST ACCRUALS AND ADJUSTMENTS THEREOF IN RESPECT OF CONTINGENTNOTES FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES AND WILL NOTCONSTITUTE A PROJECTION OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE ACTUALAMOUNTS PAYABLE TO THE HOLDERS OF THE NOTES.The use of the comparable yield and the calculation of the projected paym<strong>en</strong>t schedule will be basedupon a number of assumptions and estimates and will not be a prediction, repres<strong>en</strong>tation or guaranteeof the actual amounts of interest that may be paid to a U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r or the actual yield of theConting<strong>en</strong>t Notes. A U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r will g<strong>en</strong>erally be bound by the comparable yield and the projectedpaym<strong>en</strong>t schedule <strong>de</strong>termined by the Issuer, unless the U.S. Hol<strong>de</strong>r <strong>de</strong>termines its own comparableyield and projected paym<strong>en</strong>t schedule and explicitly d<strong>is</strong>closes such schedule to the IRS, and explainsto the IRS the reason for preparing its own schedule. The Issuer’s <strong>de</strong>termination, however, <strong>is</strong> notbinding on the IRS, and it <strong>is</strong> possible that the IRS could conclu<strong>de</strong> that some other comparable yield orprojected paym<strong>en</strong>t schedule should be used instead.327
