AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF NOTES 4.1 The Issuer undertakes that the Permanent Global Note (duly executed on behalf of the Issuer ) will be available to be exchanged for interests in the Temporary Global Note in accordance with the terms of the Temporary Global Note. 3 4.2 If a Global Note is to be exchanged in accordance with its terms for definitive Notes, the Issuer undertakes that it will deliver to, or to the order of, the Fiscal Agent, as soon as reasonable practicable and in any event not later than 15 days before the relevant exchange is due to take place, definitive Notes (with Coupons attached) in an aggregate principal amount of (euro)550,000,000 or such lesser amount as is the principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be issued in exchange for the Global Note.

Following the exchange of the last interest in a Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall cause the Global Note to be cancelled and delivered to the Issuer or as it may direct. 4.5 The Fiscal Agent shall cause all Notes delivered to and held by it under this Agreement to be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that interests in the Temporary Global Note are only exchanged for interests in the Permanent Global Note in accordance with the terms of the Temporary Global Note and this Agreement and that the definitive Notes are issued only in accordance with the terms of the Global Notes and this Agreement. 4.6 So long as any of the Notes is outstanding the Fiscal Agent shall, within seven days of any request by the Issuer or the Guarantor, certify to the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor the number of definitive Notes held by it under this Agreement. 5.

NOTIFICATION OF NON-PAYMENT BY THE ISSUER OR THE GUARANTOR The Fiscal Agent shall notify by SWIFT or facsimile each of the other Paying Agents forthwith: (a) if it has not by the relevant date specified in subclause 5.1 received unconditionally the full amount in euros required for the payment; and (b) if it receives unconditionally the full amount of any sum due in respect of the Notes or Coupons after such date. 4 The Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense and request of the Issuer or the Guarantor, forthwith upon receipt of any amount as described in subparagraph (b), cause notice of that receipt to be published under Condition 12. 7. DUTIES OF THE PAYING AGENTS 7.1 Subject to the payments to the Fiscal Agent provided for by clause 5 being duly made, the Paying Agents shall act as paying agents of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor in respect of the Notes and pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor, on and after each date on which any payment becomes due and payable, the amounts of principal and/or interest then payable on surrender or, in the case of a Global Note, endorsement, of Notes or Coupons under the Conditions and this Agreement. If any payment provided for by clause 5 is made late but otherwise under the terms of this Agreement the Paying Agents shall nevertheless act as paying agents following receipt by them of payment. 7.2 If default is made by the Issuer and the Guarantor in respect of any payment, unless and until the full amount of the payment has been made under the terms of this Agreement (except as to the time of making the same) or other arrangements satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent have been made, neither the Fiscal Agent nor any of the other Paying Agents shall be bound to act as paying agents. 7.3 Without prejudice to subclauses 7.1 and 7.2, if the Fiscal Agent pays any amounts to the holders of Notes or Coupons or to any other Paying Agent at a time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the Notes in accordance with subclause 5.1 (the excess of the amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the SHORTFALL), the Issuer (failing which the Guarantor) will, in addition to paying amounts due under subclause 5.1, pay to the Fiscal Agent on demand interest (at a rate which represents the Fiscal Agent's cost of funding the Shortfall) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Fiscal Agent of the Shortfall. 7.4 Whilst any Notes are represented by a Global Note, all payments due in respect of the Notes shall be made to, or to the order of, the holder of the Global Note, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Global Note. On the occasion of each payment, the Paying Agent to which the Global Note was presented for the purpose of making the payment shall cause the appropriate Schedule to the relevant Global Note to be annotated so as to evidence the amounts and dates of the payments of principal and/or interest as applicable. 7.5 If on presentation of a Note or Coupon the amount payable in respect of the Note or Coupon is not paid in full (otherwise than as a result of withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes as permitted by the Conditions) the Paying Agent to whom the Note or Coupon is presented shall procure that the Note or Coupon is enfaced with a memorandum of the amount paid and the date of payment. 8. REIMBURSEMENT OF THE PAYING AGENTS The Fiscal Agent shall charge the account referred to in clause 5 for all payments made by it under this Agreement and will credit or transfer to the respective accounts of the other Paying Agents the amount of all payments made by them under the Conditions immediately upon notification from them, subject in each case to any applicable laws or regulations. 5 9. DETERMINATION AND NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST, COUPON AMOUNTS AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES 9.1 The Agent Bank shall determine the Rate of Interest applicable to each Interest Period and the Coupon Amount payable in respect thereof subject to and in accordance with the Conditions. 9.2 The Agent Bank shall not be responsible to the Issuer, the Guarantor or any third party for any failure of the Reference Banks to fulfil their duties or meet their obligations as Reference Banks or (except in the event of negligence, wilful default or bad faith) as a result of the Agent Bank having acted on any certificate given by any Reference Bank which subsequently may be found to be incorrect. 9.3 The Agent Bank shall notify the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and (so long as the Notes are listed thereon) any stock exchange or other relevant authority by facsimile of each Rate of Interest, Coupon Amount and relative Interest Payment Date as soon as practicable after the determination thereof, and in any event no later than the first day of each Interest Period and the Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify the other Paying Agents thereof. 9.4 The Agent Bank shall cause each Rate of Interest, Coupon Amount and Interest Payment Date to be published in accordance with Condition 12 as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than the second Business Day thereafter (as defined in Condition 5). 9.5 If the Agent Bank does not at any material time for any reason determine and/or publish the Rate of Interest or Coupon Amount in respect of any Interest Period as provided in this clause 9 it shall forthwith notify the Issuer, the Guarantor, and the Fiscal Agent of such fact. 10. NOTICE OF ANY WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION If the Issuer or the Guarantor is, in respect of any payment in respect of the Notes, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes as contemplated by Condition 8, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor shall give notice to the Fiscal Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make the withholding or deduction and shall give to the Fiscal Agent such information as the Fiscal Agent shall require to enable it to comply with the requirement. 11. DUTIES OF THE FISCAL AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AND REDEMPTION FOR TAXATION REASONS If the Issuer decides to redeem all the Notes for the time being outstanding under Condition 7, it shall give notice of the decision to the Fiscal Agent, the Agent Bank and the Noteholders in accordance with the Conditions. 12. RECEIPT AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICES 12.1 Forthwith upon the receipt by the Fiscal Agent of a demand or notice from any Noteholder or Couponholder under Condition 10 the Fiscal Agent shall forward a copy of the demand or notice to the Issuer and to the Guarantor. 12.2 On behalf of and at the request and expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent shall cause to be published all notices required to be given by the Issuer and/or the Guarantor under the Conditions. 6 13.

Each of the Paying Agents shall give to the Fiscal Agent details of all payments made by it and shall deliver all cancelled Notes and Coupons to the Fiscal Agent (or as the Fiscal Agent may specify). Where Notes are purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor's other Subsidiaries, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor, shall procure that the Notes (together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining to the Notes) are promptly cancelled and delivered to the Fiscal Agent or its authorised agent. 13.2 The Fiscal Agent or its authorised agent shall (unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer in writing and save as provided in subclause 15.1) destroy all cancelled Notes and Coupons and furnish the Issuer and the Guarantor with a certificate of destruction containing written particulars of the serial numbers of the Notes and the number by maturity date of Coupons so destroyed. 14. ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT NOTES AND COUPONS 14.1 The Issuer shall cause a sufficient quantity of additional forms of Notes and Coupons to be available, upon request, to the Fiscal Agent at its specified office for the purpose of issuing replacement Notes or Coupons as provided below. 14.2 The Fiscal Agent shall, subject to and in accordance with Condition 11 and the following provisions of this clause, cause to be authenticated (in the case only of replacement Notes) and delivered any replacement Notes or Coupons which the Issuer may determine to issue in place of Notes or Coupons which have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed. 14.3 In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the Fiscal Agent shall ensure that (unless otherwise covered by such indemnity as the Issuer may require) any replacement Note only has attached to it Coupons corresponding to those attached to the mutilated or defaced Note which is presented for replacement. 14.4 The Fiscal Agent shall obtain verification, in the case of an allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Note or Coupon in respect of which the serial number is known, that the Note or Coupon has not previously been redeemed or paid.

Whenever replacement Coupons are issued under this clause, the Fiscal Agent shall also notify the other Paying Agents of the maturity dates of the lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Coupons and of the replacement Coupons issued. 14.7 Whenever a Note or Coupon for which a replacement Note or Coupon has been issued and the serial number of which is known is presented to a Paying Agent for payment, the relevant Paying Agent shall immediately send notice to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent. 15. RECORDS AND CERTIFICATES 15.1 The Fiscal Agent shall keep a full and complete record of all Notes and Coupons (other than serial numbers of Coupons) and of their redemption and/or purchase by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor's other Subsidiaries, cancellation or payment (as the case may be) and of all replacement Notes or Coupons issued in substitution for lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Notes or Coupons. The Fiscal Agent shall at all reasonable times make the records and Coupons (if any) available to the Issuer and the Guarantor. 15.2 The Fiscal Agent shall give to the Issuer and the Guarantor, as soon as possible and in any event within four months after the date of redemption, purchase, payment or replacement of a Note or Coupon (as the case may be), a certificate stating (a) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which have been redeemed and the aggregate amount in respect of Coupons which have been paid, (b) the serial numbers of those Notes in definitive form, (c) the total number by maturity date of those Coupons, (d) the aggregate principal amounts of Notes (if any) which have been purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor's other Subsidiaries and cancelled (subject to delivery of the Notes to the Fiscal Agent) and the serial numbers of such Notes in definitive form and the total number by maturity date of the Coupons attached to or surrendered with the purchased Notes. 16.

For this purpose, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall furnish the Agents with sufficient copies of each of such documents. 17. COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES 17.1 The Issuer or, failing the Issuer, the Guarantor shall pay to the Fiscal Agent such commissions in respect of the services of the Agents under this Agreement as shall be agreed between the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Fiscal Agent. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be concerned with the apportionment of payment among the Agents. 17.2 The Issuer or, failing the Issuer, the Guarantor shall also pay to the Fiscal Agent an amount equal to any value added tax which may be payable in respect of the commissions together 8 with all reasonable expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with their services under this Agreement. 17.3 The Fiscal Agent shall arrange for payment of the commissions due to the other Agents and arrange for the reimbursement of their expenses promptly after receipt of the relevant moneys from the Issuer or the Guarantor. 17.4 At the request of the Fiscal Agent, the parties to this Agreement may from time to time during the continuance of this Agreement review the commissions agreed initially pursuant to subclause 17.1 with a view to determining whether the parties can mutually agree upon any changes to the commissions. 18. INDEMNITY 18.1 The Issuer or, failing the Issuer, the Guarantor undertakes to indemnify each of the Agents against all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, damages, expenses or demands which any of them may incur or which may be made against any of them as a result of or in connection with the appointment of or the exercise of the powers and duties by any Agent under this Agreement except as may result from its own wilful default, negligence or bad faith or that of its directors, officers or employees or any of them. 18.2 Each of the Agents severally undertakes to indemnify the Issuer and the Guarantor against all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions, damages, expenses or demands which any of them may incur or which may be made against any of them as a result of its wilful default, negligence or bad faith or that of its directors, officers or employees. 18.3 The indemnities set out above shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 19. REPAYMENT BY FISCAL AGENT Sums paid by or by arrangement with the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to be repaid to the Issuer or the Guarantor unless and until any Note or Coupon becomes void under the provisions of Condition 9 but in that event the Fiscal Agent shall forthwith repay to the Issuer or, if so directed by the Issuer, to the Guarantor sums equivalent to the amounts which would otherwise have been payable in respect of the relevant Note or Coupon. 20. CONDITIONS OF APPOINTMENT 20.1 Subject as provided in subclause 20.3, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to deal with money paid to it by the Issuer or the Guarantor for the purposes of this Agreement in the same manner as other money paid to a banker by its customers and shall not be liable to account to the Issuer or the Guarantor for any interest or other amounts in respect of the money. No money held by any Paying Agent need be segregated except as required by law. 20.2 In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Notes and the Coupons the Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuer and the Guarantor and will not assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Notes or the Coupons. 20.3 No Paying Agent shall exercise any right of set-off or lien against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any holders of Notes or Coupons in respect of any moneys payable to or by it under the terms of this Agreement. 9 20.4 Except as otherwise permitted in the Conditions or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or required by law or otherwise instructed by the Issuer or the Guarantor, each of the Agents shall be entitled to treat the holder of any Note or Coupon as the absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not the Note or Coupon shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or other writing on the Note or Coupon or any notice of previous loss or theft of the Note or Coupon). 20.5 The Agents shall be obliged to perform such duties and only such duties as are set out in this Agreement and the Notes and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Notes against the Agents other than the duty to act honestly and in good faith and to exercise the diligence of a reasonably prudent agent in comparable circumstances. 20.6 The Fiscal Agent may consult with legal and other professional advisers and the opinion of the advisers shall be full and complete protection in respect of action taken, omitted or suffered under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of the advisers. 20.7 Each of the Agents shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of action taken, omitted or suffered in reliance upon any instruction, request or order from the Issuer or the Guarantor or any document which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been delivered by the proper party or parties or upon written instructions from the Issuer or the Guarantor. 20.8 Any of the Agents, their officers, directors or employees may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, Notes or Coupons with the same rights that it or he would have if the Agent concerned were not appointed under this Agreement, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the Guarantor, and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Notes or Coupons or other obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as freely as if the Agent were not appointed under this Agreement. 20.9 The Fiscal Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Agreement which it expects will result in any expense or liability accruing to it, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its opinion, assured to it. 20.10 The obligations of the Agents hereunder are several and not joint. 21. COMMUNICATION WITH AGENTS A copy of all communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement between the Issuer or the Guarantor and any of the Agents other than the Fiscal Agent shall be sent to the Fiscal Agent. 22. TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT 22.1 The Issuer and the Guarantor may terminate the appointment of any Agent at any time and/or appoint additional or other Agents by giving to the Agent whose appointment is concerned and, where appropriate, the Fiscal Agent at least 90 days' prior written notice to that effect, provided that, so long as any of the Notes is outstanding: (a) the notice shall not expire less than 45 days before any due date for the payment of interest; and 10 (b) notice shall be given under Condition 12 at least 30 days before the removal or appointment of a Paying Agent. 22.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause 22.1, if at any time: (a) an Agent becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator or administrative or other receiver of all or any substantial part of its property, or if an administrator, liquidator or administrative or other receiver of it or of all or a substantial part of its property is appointed, or it admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they may mature or suspends payment of its debts, or if an order of any court is entered approving any petition filed by or against it under the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if a public officer takes charge or control of the Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, administration or liquidation; or (b) in the case of the Agent Bank, it fails to determine the Rate of Interest, and/or Coupon Amount in respect of any Interest Period as provided in the Conditions and this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantor may forthwith without notice terminate the appointment of the Agent, in which event (save with respect to the termination of the appointment of the Agent Bank) notice shall be given to the Noteholders under Condition 12 as soon as is practicable. 22.3 The termination of the appointment of an Agent under this Agreement shall not entitle the Agent to any amount by way of compensation but shall be without prejudice to any amount then accrued due. 22.4 All or any of the Agents may resign their respective appointments under this Agreement at any time by giving to the Issuer, the Guarantor and, where appropriate, the Fiscal Agent at least 90 days' prior written notice to that effect provided that, so long as any of the Notes is outstanding, the notice shall not expire less than 45 days before any due date for the payment of interest.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Condition 4, the Guarantor and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by mortgages which 45 would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Debt of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries which (if originally issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (xiv) above), does not at the time exceed 10 per cent. of Consolidated Total Assets, as shown on the latest quarterly consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor preceding the date of determination. CONSOLIDATED TOTAL ASSETS means, as at any particular time, the total amount of assets (less applicable reserves) as shown in the latest quarterly consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor contained in the Guarantor's then most recent annual report to stockholders or quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or other body which assumes the duties currently assigned to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as the case may be, except that assets shall include an amount equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction (each as defined in Condition 4.3) not capitalised on such balance sheet. 4.3 LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASE-BACK The Guarantor will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property is now owned or hereafter acquired) (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the Guarantor and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries), which Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary to such person (herein referred to as a SALE AND LEASE-BACK TRANSACTION), unless (a) the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Condition 4.2, to issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a mortgage upon such Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and rateably securing the Notes, provided, however, that from and after the date on which such arrangement becomes effective the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes under Condition 4.2 or 4.3 to be Debt subject to the provisions of Condition 4.2; or (b) the Guarantor shall apply an amount in cash equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity), within 120 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of Debt of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt owned by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and other than Debt of the Guarantor which is subordinated to the Notes) which by its terms matures at or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt. The term ATTRIBUTABLE DEBT shall mean the present value (discounted at the actual percentage rate inherent in such arrangement as determined in good faith by the Guarantor, compounded semi-annually) of the obligation of a lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of any lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended). Such rental payments shall not include amounts payable by the lessee for maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments and similar charges and for contingent rents (such as those based on sales). In case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such rental payments shall also include such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated. Any determination of any actual percentage rate inherent in any such arrangement made in good faith by the Guarantor shall be binding and conclusive. 5. INTEREST 5.1 INTEREST PAYMENT DATES The Notes bear interest on their outstanding principal amount from and including 28 November, 2005 (the INTEREST COMMENCEMENT DATE), and interest will be payable on 28 February, 28 May, 28 August 46 and 28 November in each year (each an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE) save that, if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would then fall into the next calendar month, in which event the Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day. 5.2 INTEREST ACCRUAL Each Note will cease to bear interest from and including the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of the principal in respect of the Note is improperly withheld or refused or unless default is otherwise made in respect of the payment. In such event, interest will continue to accrue until whichever is the earlier of: (a) the date on which all amounts due in respect of such Note have been paid; and (b) five days after the date on which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Notes has been received by the Fiscal Agent and notice to that effect has been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12. 5.3 RATE OF INTEREST The rate of interest payable from time to time in respect of the Notes (the RATE OF INTEREST) will be determined on the basis of the following provisions: (a) On each Interest Determination Date, the Fiscal Agent or its duly appointed successor (in such capacity, the AGENT BANK) will determine the Screen Rate at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on that Interest Determination Date. If the Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will request the principal Euro-zone office of each of the Reference Banks to provide the Agent Bank with the rate at which deposits in euro are offered by it to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for three months at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date in question and for a Representative Amount. (b) The Rate of Interest for the Interest Period shall be the Screen Rate plus the Margin or, if the Screen Rate is unavailable, and at least two of the Reference Banks provide such rates, the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) as established by the Agent Bank of such rates, plus the Margin. (c) If fewer than two rates are provided as requested, the Rate of Interest for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in the Euro-zone, selected by the Agent Bank, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the first day of such Interest Period for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of three months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period and for a Representative Amount, plus the Margin. If the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the above provisions, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date. (d) In these Conditions (except where otherwise defined), the expression: (i) BUSINESS DAY means a day which is both a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and a TARGET Settlement Day; (ii) EURO-ZONE means the region comprised of the member states of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community (signed in Rome on 25 March, 1957) as amended; (iii) INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE means the second TARGET Settlement Day before the commencement of the Interest Period for which the rate will apply; 47 (iv) INTEREST PERIOD means the period from and including the Interest Commencement Date to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date, and each successive period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; (v) MARGIN means 0.12 per cent. per annum; (vi) REFERENCE BANKS means the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks engaged in the Euro-zone interbank market selected by the Agent Bank and approved by the Guarantor provided that, once a Reference Bank has been selected by the Agent Bank and approved by the Guarantor, that Reference Bank shall not be changed unless and until it ceases to be capable of acting as such; (vii) REPRESENTATIVE AMOUNT means, in relation to any quotation of a rate for which a Representative Amount is relevant, an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time; (viii) SCREEN RATE means the rate for three month deposits in euro which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 (or such replacement page on that service which displays the information); and (ix) TARGET SETTLEMENT DAY means any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open. 5.4 DETERMINATION OF RATE OF INTEREST AND INTEREST AMOUNT The Agent Bank shall, as soon as practicable after 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than the third Business Day thereafter, determine the euro amount (the INTEREST AMOUNT) payable in respect of interest on each (euro)50,000 principal amount of Notes for the relevant Interest Period. The Interest Amount shall be determined by applying the Rate of Interest to such principal amount, multiplying the sum by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned divided by 360 and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). 5.5 PUBLICATION OF RATE OF INTEREST AND INTEREST AMOUNT The Agent Bank shall cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relative Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Fiscal Agent and to any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the Notes are at the relevant time listed (by no later than the first day of each Interest Period) and to be published in accordance with Condition 12 as soon as possible after their determination, and in no event later than the second Business Day thereafter. The Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. 5.6 NOTIFICATIONS, ETC. TO BE FINAL All notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition, whether by the Reference Banks (or any of them) or the Agent Bank, will (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Agents and all Noteholders and Couponholders and (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) no liability to the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Noteholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Reference Banks (or any of them), the Agent Bank in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions under this Condition. 48 5.7 AGENT BANK The Issuer shall procure that, so long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, there is at all times an Agent Bank for the purposes of the Notes and the Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Agent Bank. In the event of the appointed office of any bank being unable or unwilling to continue to act as the Agent Bank or failing duly to determine the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount for any Interest Period, the Issuer shall appoint a Euro-zone office of another major bank engaged in the Euro-zone interbank market to act in its place. The Agent Bank may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been appointed. 6.

In that event, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Noteholders and Couponholders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of the withholding or deduction; except that no additional amounts shall be payable: (a) in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or (b) in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union;

or (d) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection (other than the more holding of a Note or Coupon) between such Noteholder or Couponholder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such Noteholder or Couponholder, if such Noteholder or Couponholder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and any Relevant Jurisdiction and its possessions, including, without limitation, such Noteholder or Couponholder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein;

or (g) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any Note; or (h) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Noteholder or Couponholder, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or (i) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Noteholder or Couponholder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10 per cent, or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Guarantor entitled to vote or as a controlled foreign corporation that is related directly or indirectly to the Guarantor through stock ownership. 8.2 INTERPRETATION In these Conditions: (a) RELEVANT DATE means the date on which the payment first becomes due but, if the full amount of the money payable has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or before the due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of the money having been so received, notice to that effect has been duly given to the Noteholders by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 12; and (b) RELEVANT JURISDICTION means Bermuda or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (in the case of payments by the Issuer) or the United States of America or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (in the case of payments by the Guarantor) or in either case any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax to which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes subject in respect of payments made by it of principal and interest on the Notes and Coupons. 52 8.3 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS Any reference in these Conditions to any amounts in respect of the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this Condition. 9.

The Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the Notes are for the time being listed.

GUARANTEE The Guarantor as primary obligor unconditionally and irrevocably: (a) guarantees to the holder from time to time of each Note or Coupon by way of continuing guarantee the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer on or in respect of the Note or Coupon (including any additional amounts which may become payable under Condition 8) as and when the same shall become due according to the Conditions; and (b) agrees that, if and each time that the Issuer shall fail to make any payments as and when the same become due, the Guarantor will on demand (without requiring the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder first to take steps against the Issuer or any other person) pay to the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder the amounts (as to which the certificate of the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive) in the currency in which the amounts are payable by the Issuer. 2. TAXATION 2.1 All payments under the Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (TAXES) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Relevant Jurisdictions, unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Noteholders and Couponholders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of the withholding or deduction; except that no additional amounts shall be payable: 56 (a) in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or (b) in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union; or (c) in relation to any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that a holder would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of the period of 30 days assuming that day to have been a Presentation Date (as defined in Condition 6.5); or (d) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection (other than the mere holding of a Note or Coupon) between such Noteholder or Couponholder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such Noteholder or Couponholder, if such Noteholder or Couponholder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and any Relevant Jurisdiction and its possessions, including, without limitation, such Noteholder or Couponholder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein; or (e) for or on account of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; or (f) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Noteholder or Couponholder's past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or (g) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any Note; or (h) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Noteholder or Couponholder, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or (i) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Noteholder or Couponholder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10 per cent. or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Guarantor entitled to vote or as a controlled foreign corporation that is related directly or indirectly to the Guarantor through stock ownership. 57 2.2 Any reference to any amounts in respect of the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this paragraph 2. 3. GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not be affected by any matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to affect the obligations including, without limitation: (a) any time or indulgence granted to or composition with the Issuer or any other person; (b) the taking, variation, renewal or release of remedies or securities against the Issuer or any other person; or (c) any unenforceability, invalidity or irregularity. 4. EFFECT OF ARRANGEMENTS WITH ISSUER Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of the Issuer or any security for the obligations of the Issuer or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall continue as if there had been no discharge or arrangement. The holder of any Note or Coupon, acting in good faith, shall be entitled to concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or repayment. 5.

A Noteholder may require the issue by any Paying Agent of voting certificates and block voting instructions in accordance with the terms of paragraph 3 below. For the purposes of paragraphs 3(a) and 3(d) below, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, without further enquiry, on any information or instructions received from a relevant clearing system and shall have no liability to any Noteholder or other person for any loss, damage, cost, claim or other liability caused by its reliance on those instructions, nor for any failure by a relevant clearing system to deliver information or instructions to the Fiscal Agent.

(a) Definitive Notes - voting certificate A holder of a Note in definitive form may obtain a voting certificate in respect of that Note from a Paying Agent (unless the Note is the subject of a block voting instruction which has been issued and is outstanding in respect of the meeting specified in the voting certificate or any adjourned meeting) subject to the holder procuring that the Note is deposited with the Paying Agent or (to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent) is held to its order or under its control or blocked in an account with a relevant clearing system upon terms that the Note will not cease to be deposited or held or blocked until the first to occur of: (i) the conclusion of the meeting specified in the voting certificate or, if later, of any adjourned meeting; and (ii) the surrender of the voting certificate to the Paying Agent who issued it. (b) Global Notes - voting certificate A holder of a Note (not being a Note in respect of which instructions have been given to the Fiscal Agent in accordance with paragraph 3(d)) represented by a Global Note may procure the delivery of a voting certificate in respect of that Note by giving 64 notice to the relevant clearing system specifying by name a person (an IDENTIFIED PERSON) (which need not be the holder himself) to collect the voting certificate and attend and vote at the meeting. The voting certificate will be made available at or shortly before the start of the meeting by the Fiscal Agent against presentation by the Identified Person of the form of identification previously notified by the holder to the relevant clearing system. The relevant clearing system may prescribe forms of identification (including, without limitation, passports) which it considers appropriate for these purposes. Subject to receipt by the Fiscal Agent from the relevant clearing system, no later than 24 hours before the time for which the meeting is convened, of notification of the nominal amount of the Notes to be represented by any voting certificate and the form of identification against presentation of which the voting certificate should be released, the Fiscal Agent shall, without any obligation to make further enquiry, make available voting certificates against presentation of forms of identification corresponding to those notified. (c) Definitive Notes - block voting instruction A holder of a Note in definitive form may require a Paying Agent to issue a block voting instruction in respect of that Note (unless the Note is the subject of a voting certificate which has been issued and is outstanding in respect of the meeting specified in the block voting instruction or any adjourned meeting) by depositing the Note with the Paying Agent or (to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent) by: (i) procuring that, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting, the Note is held to the Paying Agent's order or under its control or is blocked in an account with a relevant clearing system, in each case on terms that the Note will not cease to be so deposited or held or blocked until the first to occur of: (A) the conclusion of the meeting specified in the block voting instruction or, if later, of any adjourned meeting; and (B) the surrender to the Paying Agent, not less than 48 hours before the time for which the meeting or any adjourned meeting is convened, of the receipt issued by the Paying Agent in respect of each deposited Note which is to be released or (as the case may require) the Note ceasing with the agreement of the Paying Agent to be held to its order or under its control or to be blocked and the giving of notice by the Paying Agent to the Issuer in accordance with paragraph 3(d) of the necessary amendment to the block voting instruction; and (ii) instructing the Paying Agent that the vote(s) attributable to each Note so deposited or held or blocked should be cast in a particular way in relation to the resolution or resolutions to be put to the meeting or any adjourned meeting and that the instruction is, during the period commencing 48 hours before the time for which the meeting or any adjourned meeting is convened and ending at the conclusion or adjournment of the meeting, neither revocable nor capable of amendment. (d) Global Notes - block voting instruction A holder of a Note (not being a Note in respect of which a voting certificate has been issued) represented by a Global Note may require the Fiscal Agent to issue a block 65 voting instruction in respect of the Note by first instructing the relevant clearing system to procure that the votes attributable to the holder's Note should be cast at the meeting in a particular way in relation to the resolution or resolutions to be put to the meeting. Any such instruction shall be given in accordance with the rules of the relevant clearing system then in effect. Subject to receipt by the Fiscal Agent, no later than 24 hours before the time for which the meeting is convened, of (i) instructions from the relevant clearing system, (ii) notification of the principal amount of the Notes in respect of which instructions have been given and (iii) the manner in which the votes attributable to the Notes should be cast, the Fiscal Agent shall, without any obligation to make further enquiry, attend the meeting and cast votes in accordance with those instructions. (A) Each block voting instruction shall be deposited by the relevant Paying Agent at the place specified by the Fiscal Agent for the purpose not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the proxies named in the block voting instruction propose to vote, and in default the block voting instruction shall not be treated as valid unless the Chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before the meeting or adjourned meeting proceeds to business. A notarially certified copy of each block voting instruction shall (if so requested by the Issuer) be deposited with the Issuer before the start of the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Issuer shall not as a result be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the authority of the proxies named in the block voting instruction. (B) Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the block voting instruction or of any of the instructions of the relevant Noteholder or the relevant clearing system (as the case may be) pursuant to which it was executed provided that no indication in writing of any revocation or amendment has been received from the relevant Paying Agent by the Issuer at its registered office by the time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction is to be used.

The Chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as was Chairman of the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 7. At any meeting one or more Eligible Persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than five per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the required quorum is present at the commencement of business.

If within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after the time appointed for any meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any particular business, then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the meeting shall if convened by Noteholders be dissolved. In any other case it shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (or if that day is a public holiday the next following business day) at the same time and place (except in the case of a meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be proposed in which case it shall be adjourned for a period being not less than 14 clear days nor more than 42 clear days and at a place appointed by the Chairman and approved by the Agent). If within 15 minutes (or a longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after the time appointed for any adjourned meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any particular business, then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the Chairman may either dissolve the meeting or adjourn 67 it for a period, being not less than 14 clear days (but without any maximum number of clear days) and to a place as may be appointed by the Chairman (either at or after the adjourned meeting) and approved by the Fiscal Agent, and the provisions of this sentence shall apply to all further adjourned meetings. 9. At any adjourned meeting one or more Eligible Persons present (whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented by them) shall (subject as provided below) form a quorum and shall (subject as provided below) have power to pass any Extraordinary Resolution or other resolution and to decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had the required quorum been present, provided that at any adjourned meeting the business of which includes any of the matters specified in the proviso to paragraph 7 the quorum shall be one or more Eligible Persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-third in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. 10. Notice of any adjourned meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be submitted shall be given in the same manner as notice of an original meeting but as if 10 were substituted for 21 in paragraph 5 and the notice shall state the relevant quorum. Subject to this it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS AT MEETINGS 11. Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in the case of an equality of votes the Chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as an Eligible Person. 12. At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman or the Issuer, the Guarantor or by any Eligible Person present (whatever the principal amount of the Notes held by him), a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. 13. Subject to paragraph 15, if at any meeting a poll is demanded it shall be taken in the manner and, subject as provided below, either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman may direct and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the motion on which the poll has been demanded. 14. The Chairman may, with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully (but for lack of required quorum) have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 15.

Subject to this, but without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of OUTSTANDING in clause 2 of this Agreement, no person shall be entitled to attend and speak nor shall any person be entitled to vote at any meeting of the Noteholders or join with others in requiring the convening of a meeting unless he is an 68 Eligible Person. No person shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes held by, for the benefit of, or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or the Guarantor.

Without prejudice to the obligations of the proxies named in any block voting instruction, any person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same way. 18. The proxies named in any block voting instruction need not be Noteholders. 19.

Any resolution passed at a meeting of the Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule shall be binding upon all the Noteholders whether present or not present at the meeting and whether or not voting and upon all Couponholders and each of them shall be bound to give effect to the resolution accordingly and the passing of any resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify its passing. Notice of the result of voting on any resolution duly considered by the Noteholders shall be published in accordance with Condition 12 by the Issuer within 14 days of the result being known provided that non-publication shall not invalidate the resolution. 21. The expression EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION when used in this Schedule means (a) a resolution passed at a meeting of the Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule by a majority consisting of not less than 75 per cent. of the persons voting on the resolution upon a show of hands or, if a poll was duly demanded, by a majority consisting of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes given on the poll or (b) a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all the Noteholders, which resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in similar form each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the Noteholders. 22. Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Issuer and any minutes signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which any resolution was passed or proceedings had shall be conclusive evidence of the matters contained in them and, until the contrary is proved, every meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed or proceedings had at the meeting to have been duly passed or had. 23. Subject to all other provisions contained in this Schedule, the Fiscal Agent may without the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Noteholders or the Couponholders prescribe any other regulations regarding the calling and/or the holding of meetings of Noteholders and attendance and voting at them as the Fiscal Agent may in its sole discretion think fit (including, without limitation, the substitution for periods of 24 hours and 48 hours referred to in this Schedule of shorter periods). Any regulations prescribed by the Fiscal Agent may but need not reflect the practices and facilities of any relevant clearing system. Notice of any other regulations may be given to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 and/or at the time of service of any notice convening a meeting. 70 KELLOGG EUROPE COMPANY LIMITED By: /s/ Joel Wittenberg KELLOGG COMPANY By: /s/ Gary Pilnick HSBC BANK PLC (as Fiscal Agent and Agent Bank) By: /s/ Julie Fort HSBC INSTITUTIONAL TRUST SERVICES (IRELAND) LIMITED By: /s/ Julie Fort 71
