Holders who are individuals should note that the Issuer will not pay additional amounts under<br />

§ 7(c) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes in respect of any withholding tax imposed as a<br />

result of the EU Savings Tax Directive.<br />

Investors should note that the European Commission adopted an amending proposal to the EU<br />

Savings Tax Directive, which, among other changes, seeks to extend the application of the EU<br />

Savings Tax Directive to (i) payments channelled through certain intermediate structures (whether<br />

or not established in a member state) for the ultimate benefit of an EU resident individual, and (ii) a<br />

wider range of income similar to savings income. Further developments in this respect should be<br />

monitored on a continuing basis, since no certainty exists over whether and when the proposed<br />

amendments to the EU Savings Tax Directive will be implemented. Investors who are in any doubt<br />

as to their position should consult their professional advisors.<br />

Luxembourg<br />

Non-residents<br />

Under the existing laws of Luxembourg and except as provided for by the Luxembourg laws of 21<br />

June 2005 implementing the EU Savings Tax Directive (as defined above), there is no withholding<br />

tax on interest (paid or accrued) on, or reimbursement of principal of, the Notes made to nonresidents<br />

of Luxembourg.<br />

Under the Luxembourg laws of 21 June 2005 implementing the EU Savings Tax Directive and as a<br />

result of ratification by Luxembourg of certain related Accords with the relevant dependent and<br />

associated territories of the European Union, payments of interest or similar income made or<br />

ascribed (attribué) by a paying agent established in Luxembourg to or for the immediate benefit of<br />

an individual or certain residual entities within the meaning of Article 4.2 of the EU Savings Tax<br />

Directive (i.e., entities which are not legal persons (the Finnish and Swedish companies listed in<br />

Article 4.5 of the EU Savings Tax Directive are not considered as legal persons for this purpose),<br />

whose profits are not taxed under the general arrangements for the business taxation and that are<br />

not, and have not opted to be treated as, UCITS recognised in accordance with the Council<br />

Directive 85/611/EEC as replaced by the Council Directive 2009/65/EC or similar collective<br />

investment funds located in Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the<br />

Cayman Islands, Monserrat or the British Virgin Islands), will be subject to a withholding tax,<br />

unless the relevant beneficiary has adequately instructed the relevant paying agent to provide<br />

details of the relevant payments of interest or similar income to the fiscal authorities of his/her<br />

country of residence or deemed residence or has provided a tax certificate from his/her fiscal<br />

authority in the format required by law to the relevant paying agent. Where withholding tax is<br />

applied, it will be levied at a rate of currently 35 per cent.<br />

When used in the preceding paragraph "interest" and "paying agent" have the meaning given<br />

thereto in the Luxembourg laws of 21 June 2005 (or the relevant Accords). "Interest" will include<br />

accrued or capitalised interest at the sale, repayment or redemption of the Notes. "Paying agent"<br />

is defined broadly for this purpose and in the context of the Notes means any economic operator<br />

established in Luxembourg who pays interest on the Notes to or ascribes the payment of such<br />

interest to or for the immediate benefit of the beneficial owner, whether the operator is, or acts on<br />

behalf of, the Issuer or is instructed by the beneficial owner to collect such payment of interest.<br />

Payments of interest or similar income under the Notes to Clearstream Banking <strong>AG</strong>, Clearstream<br />

Banking, société anonyme and Euroclear Bank SA/NV and payments by or on behalf of<br />

Clearstream Banking, société anonyme to financial intermediaries will not give rise to a withholding<br />

tax under Luxembourg laws.<br />
