Payment of Additional Amounts:    Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the issuer and the guarantor may be required to pay as additional interest to certain holders of notes such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment on such holders’ notes after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge of whatever nature imposed upon, or as a result of, such payment by the Netherlands or the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in such holders’ notes to be then due and payable.

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 law of the Netherlands or the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) if, in the written opinion of independent counsel chosen by the issuer or the guarantor, there is a material probability that the issuer or the guarantor will become obligated to pay additional interest on the notes as described above under “Payment of Additional Amounts.” The redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
