	(i)		Bonds theretofore cancelled by the Fiscal Agent or delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation;

	(ii)		Bonds, or portions thereof, for the payment or redemption of which moneys in the necessary amount shall have been deposited in trust with the Fiscal Agent or with any Paying Agent or shall have been set aside and segregated in trust by the Issuer or the Guarantor (if the Issuer or the Guarantor acts as their own paying agent); provided that if such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been given as in Condition 8 provided, or provision satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent shall have been made for giving such notice;

5.		PAYMENT TO THE FISCAL AGENT

(1)		The Issuer (failing which, the Guarantor) shall, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Central European time) one Business Day prior to each date on which any payment of principal and/or interest in respect of any of the Bonds becomes due and payable or if the due date is not a Business Day on the immediately preceding such Business Day, transfer to an account specified by the Fiscal Agent such amount of euros as shall be sufficient for the purposes of the payment of principal and/or interest in same day funds or in such funds and at such times (being not later than 10:00 a.m. (Central European time) on the relevant due date or if the due date is not a Business Day in Brussels on the immediately preceding such Business Day) as may be determined by the Fiscal Agent to be customary for the settlement of similar transactions.

6.		NOTIFICATION OF NON-PAYMENT BY THE ISSUER OR THE GUARANTOR

		The Fiscal Agent shall notify by telex each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and the other Paying Agents forthwith:

	(a)		if it has not by the relevant date specified in clause 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 Bonds or Coupons after such date.


		The Fiscal Agent shall, at the expense 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 13.

7.		DUTIES OF THE PAYING AGENTS

(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 Bonds 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 Bond, endorsement as required pursuant to the terms of the Global Bond, of Bonds 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.

(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.

(3)		If on presentation of a Bond or Coupon the amount payable in respect of the Bond 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 Bond or Coupon is presented shall procure that the Bond or Coupon is enfaced with a memorandum of the amount paid and the date of payment.

(4)		Any monies paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to a Paying Agent in respect of a Bond or Coupon, and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such payment shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption, purchase or otherwise), shall then be repaid to the Issuer, and upon such repayment all liability of such Paying Agent, with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer or the Guarantor may have to pay such payment in respect of the Bond or Coupon as the same shall become due. Any such payments that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be obligated to make shall be made at offices or agencies selected by it outside the United States and its territories and possessions.

8.		REIMBURSEMENT OF THE PAYING AGENTS

8.1		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 Paying Agents the amount of all payments made by them under clause 7 immediately upon notification from them, subject in each case to any applicable laws or regulations.

8.2		If any Paying Agent makes a payment in respect of the Bonds at a time at which the Fiscal Agent has not received the full amount of the relevant payment due to it under clause 5 and the Fiscal Agent is not able out of the funds received by it under clause 5 to reimburse such Paying Agent therefor, the Issuer failing which the Guarantor shall from time to time on demand pay to the Fiscal Agent for account of such Paying Agent:

	(a)		the amount so paid out by such Paying Agent and not so reimbursed to it; and

	(b)		interest at a rate to be mutually agreed by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the relevant Paying Agent on such amount from the date on which such Paying Agent made such payment until the date of reimbursement of such amount and an amount sufficient to indemnify such Paying Agent against any cost, loss or expense which it reasonably incurs as a result of making such payment and not receiving reimbursement of such amount;

		provided, however, that any payment made under paragraph (a) above shall satisfy pro tanto the Issuer’s (failing which, the Guarantor’s) obligations under clause 5.

9.		NOTICE OF ANY WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION

		If the Issuer or the Guarantor is, in respect of any payment in respect of the Bonds, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes as contemplated by Condition 9, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor shall give notice to the Fiscal Agent as soon as reasonably practicable after 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 reasonably require to enable it to comply with the requirement.

10.		DUTIES OF THE FISCAL AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH REDEMPTION FOR TAXATION REASONS

		If the Issuer decides to redeem all the Bonds for the time being outstanding under Condition 8(2), it shall give notice of the decision to the Fiscal Agent at least 30 days before the relevant redemption date.

11.		PUBLICATION OF NOTICES

		Paying Agents shall give to the Fiscal Agent details of all payments made by it and shall deliver all cancelled Bonds and Coupons to the Fiscal Agent (or as the Fiscal Agent may specify). Where Bonds are purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor which in accordance with the Conditions are to be cancelled after such purchase, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor, shall procure that the Bonds (together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining to the Bonds) are promptly cancelled and delivered to the Fiscal Agent or its authorised agent.

(2)		The Fiscal Agent or its authorised agent shall (unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer in writing and save as provided in clause 14(1)), destroy all cancelled Bonds and Coupons and furnish the Issuer and the Guarantor with a certificate of destruction containing written particulars reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Guarantor including the serial numbers of the Bonds and the number by maturity date of Coupons so destroyed.

13.		ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT BONDS AND COUPONS

(1)		From time to time after such time (if ever) as definitive Bonds may be issued, the Issuer shall cause a sufficient quantity of additional forms of Bonds and Coupons to be available, upon request, to the Paying Agent in Luxembourg (the “Replacement Agent”) at its specified office for the purpose of issuing replacement Bonds or Coupons as provided below.

(2)		The Replacement Agent shall upon receipt of replacement Bonds executed on behalf of the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with Condition 12 and the following provisions of this clause, cause to be authenticated (in the case only of replacement Bonds) and delivered any replacement Bonds or Coupons which the Issuer may determine to issue in place of Bonds or Coupons which have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed. The Replacement Agent will inform the Issuer upon receiving any request from a Bondholder for the issue of a replacement Bond or Coupon.

(3)		In the case of a mutilated or defaced Bond, the Replacement Agent shall ensure that (unless otherwise covered by such indemnity as the Issuer may require) any replacement Bond only has attached to it Coupons corresponding to those attached to the mutilated or defaced Bond which is presented for replacement.

(4)		The Replacement Agent shall obtain verification, in the case of an allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Bond or Coupon in respect of which the serial number is known or believed to be known, that the Bond or Coupon has not previously been redeemed, cancelled or paid. The Replacement Agent shall not issue a replacement Bond or Coupon unless and until the applicant has:

	(a)		paid such expenses and costs as may be incurred in connection with the replacement;

	(b)		furnished it with such evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require; and

	(c)		in the case of a mutilated or defaced Bond or Coupon, surrendered it to the Replacement Agent,

		provided, however, that, if, as a result of negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer, loss, mutilation, defacement or destruction of a Bond has occurred, the Replacement Agent will issue a replacement Bond upon the request of the relevant Bondholder or Accountholder and the expenses and costs that may be incurred in connection with such replacement will be borne by the Issuer (failing which, the Guarantor) subject to clause 17.

(5)		The Replacement Agent shall cancel mutilated or defaced Bonds or Coupons in respect of which replacement Bonds or Coupons have been issued pursuant to this clause and all Bonds which are so cancelled shall be delivered by the Replacement Agent to the Fiscal Agent (or as it may specify).

(6)		The Replacement Agent shall, on issuing any replacement Bond or Coupon, forthwith inform the Issuer and the other Paying Agents of the serial number of the replacement Bond or Coupon issued and (if known) of the serial number of the Bond or Coupon in place of which the replacement Bond or Coupon has been issued. 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.

(7)		Whenever a Bond or Coupon for which a replacement Bond 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.

The Fiscal Agent shall at all reasonable times make the records and Coupons (if any) available to the Issuer and the Guarantor.

(2)		Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (1), if at any time a Paying 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 Paying Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, administration or liquidation, its appointment will automatically terminate, in which event notice shall be given to the Bondholders under Condition 13 as soon as is practicable.

(3)		The termination of the appointment a Paying Agent under this Agreement shall not entitle the Paying Agent to any amount by way of compensation but shall be without prejudice to any amount then accrued due.

(4)		All or any of the Paying 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 45 days’ prior written notice to that effect provided that, so long as any of the Bonds is outstanding, the notice shall not, in the case of a Paying Agent, expire less than 30 days before any due date for the payment of interest.

If the Fiscal Agent shall resign or be removed pursuant to subclauses (1) or (2) above or in accordance with this subclause (4), the Issuer and the Guarantor shall promptly and in any event within 30 days appoint a successor (being a leading bank acting through its office in London). If the Issuer and the Guarantor fail to appoint a successor within such period, the Fiscal Agent may select a leading bank acting through its office in London to act as Fiscal Agent hereunder and the Issuer and the Guarantor shall appoint that bank as the successor Fiscal Agent.

(5)		Notwithstanding the provisions of subclauses (1), (2) and (4), so long as any of the Bonds is outstanding, the termination of the appointment of a Paying Agent (whether by the Issuer and the Guarantor or by the resignation of the Paying Agent) shall not be effective unless upon the expiry of the relevant notice there is:

	(a)		a Fiscal Agent;

	(b)		at least two Paying Agents (one of which may be the Fiscal Agent) having specified offices in separate European cities one of which, so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, shall be Luxembourg; and

This Temporary Global Bond is issued in respect of €115,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% Guaranteed Bonds due 2005 (the “Bonds”) of Milacron Capital Holdings B.V. (the “Issuer”). The Bonds are issued subject to and with the benefit of a fiscal agency agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated April 6, 2000 between the Issuer, Milacron Inc.

		Subject as provided in this Temporary Global Bond, the Issuer, for value received, promises to pay the bearer upon presentation and surrender of this Temporary Global Bond such sum as is equal to the principal amount of the Bonds represented by this Temporary Global Bond as shown in the title of this Temporary Global Bond or such lesser amount as is shown by the latest entry in the Schedule to this Temporary Global Bond on April 6, 2005, or on such earlier date as the principal or other amounts in respect of this Temporary Global Bond may become due under the Conditions and to pay interest on the principal sum for the time being outstanding at the rate of 7.625% per annum from April 6, 2000 payable annually in arrears on April 6 in each year until payment of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for in full together with any other amounts as may be payable, all subject to and under the Conditions.

2.		Exchange for Permanent Global Bond and Purchases

		The Permanent Global Bond to be issued in exchange for this Temporary Global Bond will be substantially in the form set out in Part II of Schedule 1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and will be exchanged on and subject to the terms and conditions set out below.

		On and after May 16, 2000 (the “Exchange Date”) this Temporary Global Bond may be exchanged in whole or in part at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent (or such other place as the Fiscal Agent may direct) for the Permanent Global Bond and the Issuer shall procure that the Fiscal Agent shall issue and deliver, in full or partial exchange for this Temporary Global Bond, the Permanent Global Bond (or, as the case may be, endorse the Permanent Global Bond) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Temporary Global Bond submitted for exchange; Provided that if definitive Bonds (together with the Coupons appertaining thereto) have already been issued in exchange for all the Bonds represented for the time being by the Permanent Global Bond, then this Temporary Global Bond may thereafter be exchanged only for definitive Bonds (together with the Coupons appertaining thereto) and in such circumstances references herein to the Permanent Global Bond shall be construed accordingly; and Provided further that the Permanent Global Bond shall be issued and delivered (or, as the case may be, endorsed) only if and to the extent that there shall have been presented to the Issuer a certificate from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) or from Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), substantially in the form of the certificate attached as Exhibit A. No definitive Bonds delivered in exchange for interests in the Temporary Global Bond will be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States or its possessions in connection with the exchange.

		Any person who would, but for the provisions of this Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global Bond and of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, otherwise be entitled to receive a definitive Bond or definitive Bonds shall not be entitled to require the exchange of an appropriate part of this Temporary Global Bond for a like part of the Permanent Global Bond unless and until he shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate substantially in the form of the certificate attached as Exhibit B (copies of which form of certificate will be available at the offices of Euroclear in Brussels and Clearstream, Luxembourg in Luxembourg and the specified office of each of the Paying Agents).

		Upon (i) any exchange of a part of this Temporary Global Bond for a like part of the Permanent Global Bond or for a definitive Bond or (ii) the purchase by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor and cancellation of a part of this Temporary Global Bond in accordance with the Conditions, the portion of the principal amount hereof so exchanged or so purchased and cancelled shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer on Part I of the Schedule hereto, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged or so purchased and cancelled and, in each case, endorsed.

3.		Payments

		Until the entire principal amount of this Temporary Global Bond has been extinguished, this Temporary Global Bond shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as the definitive Bonds for the time being represented hereby, except that the holder of this Temporary Global Bond shall not (unless upon due presentation of this Temporary Global Bond for exchange, issue and delivery (or, as the case may be, endorsement) of the Permanent Global Bond is improperly withheld or refused and such withholding or refusal is continuing at the relevant payment date) be entitled (i) (subject to (ii) below) to receive any payment of interest on this Temporary Global Bond except upon certification as hereinafter provided or (ii) on and after the Exchange Date, to receive any payment on this Temporary Global Bond. Upon any payment of principal or interest on this Temporary Global Bond the amount so paid shall be

		endorsed by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer on Part I of the Schedule hereto.

		Payments of interest in respect of Bonds for the time being represented by this Temporary Global Bond shall be made to the bearer only upon presentation to the Issuer of a certificate from Euroclear or from Clearstream, Luxembourg substantially in the form of the certificate attached as Exhibit A. Any person who would, but for the provisions of this Temporary Global Bond, otherwise be beneficially entitled to a payment of interest on this Temporary Global Bond shall not be entitled to require such payment unless and until he shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate substantially in the form of the certificate attached as Exhibit B (copies of which form of certificate will be available at the offices of Euroclear in Brussels and Clearstream, Luxembourg in Luxembourg and the specified office of each of the Paying Agents).

		Upon any payment of principal and endorsement of such payment on Part II of the Schedule hereto, the principal amount of this Temporary Global Bond shall be reduced for all purposes by the principal amount so paid and endorsed.

		Any monies paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Fiscal or other Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds, and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption, purchase or otherwise), shall then be repaid to the Issuer, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal or Paying Agent, as the case may be, with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer or the Guarantor may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Bond as the same shall become due. Any such payments that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be obligated to make shall be made at offices or agencies selected by it outside the United States and its territories and possessions.

		All payments of any amounts payable and paid to the bearer of this Temporary Global Bond shall be valid and, to the extent of the sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for the moneys payable hereon, on the Permanent Global Bond and on the relevant definitive Bonds and Coupons.

4.		Notices

		For so long as the Bonds are represented by this Temporary Global Bond and this Temporary Global Bond is held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, notices to Bondholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) for communication to the relative Accountholders (as defined below) rather than by publication as required by Condition 13, provided that so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, notices shall also be published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the Bondholders on the seventh day after the date on which such notice is delivered to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) as aforesaid.

5.		Accountholders

		For so long as the Bonds are represented by this Temporary Global Bond and this Temporary Global Bond is held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular principal amount of the Bonds (each an “Accountholder”) (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the principal amount of the Bonds standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes) shall be treated as the holder of such principal amount of the Bonds for all purposes (including for the purposes of any quorum requirements of, or the right to demand a poll at, meetings of the Bondholders) other than with respect to the payment of principal and interest on such Bonds, the right to which shall be vested, as against the Issuer, solely in the bearer of this Temporary Global Bond in accordance with and subject to its terms and the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Each Accountholder must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for its share of each payment made to the bearer of this Temporary Global Bond.

6.		Prescription

		Claims against the Issuer in respect of principal and interest on the Bonds represented by this Temporary Global Bond will be void unless it is presented for payment within a period of 10 years (in the case of principal) and 5 years (in the case of interest or additional amounts) from the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 9).

7.		Authentication

		This Temporary Global Bond shall not be or become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until authenticated by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent.

8.		Guarantee

		Payments in respect of the Bonds will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor by the guarantee which is endorsed on this Temporary Global Bond.

9.		Governing law

		This Temporary Global Bond is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America (without reference to any conflict of law rules).

		Any State or federal courts siting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Temporary Global Bond, and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Temporary Global Bonds (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Proceedings in any such courts whether on the ground of the laying of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further agrees that a judgement in any Proceedings brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause 9 shall limit any right to take Proceedings against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor in any other court

		of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

		To the extent that either the Issuer or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Temporary Global Bond.

		The Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the process by which any Proceedings in New York City are begun may be served on it by being delivered to it c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011. If the appointment of the person appointed to receive process on behalf of the Issuer or Guarantor ceases to be effective, the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall forthwith appoint a further person to accept service of process on its behalf and notify the name and address of such person to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) pursuant to clause 4 above, rather than by publication as required by Condition 13 and, failing such appointment within 15 days, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice addressed and delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantor.

IN WITNESS whereof this Temporary Global Bond has been executed on behalf of the Issuer.

	(i)		this Permanent Global Bond is held on behalf of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and/or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) and either such clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so and no alternative clearing system satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent is available; or

	(ii)		a notice following an Event of Default (as defined in the Conditions) has been given in accordance with Condition 11; or

	(iii)		either the Issuer or the Guarantor would suffer a material disadvantage in respect of the relevant Bonds as a result of a change in the laws or regulations (taxation or otherwise) of any applicable jurisdiction, or as a result of a change in the practice of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg which would not be suffered were the Bonds in definitive form and a certificate to such effect signed by two duly authorised officers of the Issuer or Guarantor (as the case may be) is delivered to the Fiscal Agent for display to the Bondholders.

		Thereupon (in the case of (i) and (ii) above) the holder (acting on the instructions of (an) Accountholder(s)) may give notice to the Fiscal Agent and (in the case of (iii) above) the Issuer may give at least 45 days’ notice to the Fiscal Agent and the Bondholders of its intention to exchange this Permanent Global Bond for definitive Bonds on or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) specified in the notice.

		In addition, at any time upon request of any holder of an interest in the Permanent Global Bond including any Accountholder upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Fiscal Agent specifying an Exchange Date (as defined below), such holder’s interest in a Permanent Global Bond will be exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for Bonds in definitive form, in which

		case all costs involved in such exchange will be borne in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

		Upon (a) receipt of instructions from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg that, following the purchase by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor of the whole or a part of this Permanent Global Bond, or (b) the whole or a part of this Permanent Global Bond being declared immediately due and repayable following an Event of Default (with notice to the Fiscal Agent stating the principal amount of the Bonds hereby represented being declared due and repayable), the portion of the principal amount of this Permanent Global Bond so cancelled or declared shall, in the case of (a), be entered by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent on Part II of the Schedule to this Permanent Global Bond, whereupon the principal amount of this Permanent Global Bond shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so cancelled or, in the case of (b), upon the holder’s election, become void as to such portion with the relevant Accountholder(s) thereby acquiring directly enforceable rights against the Issuer (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) as though the Bonds credited to the account of such Accountholder(s) at Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg had been exchanged for definitive Bonds, as provided for in the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

		On or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) this Permanent Global Bond may, or in the case of (iii) above shall, be exchanged in whole but not in part at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent (or such other place as the Fiscal Agent may direct) for definitive Bonds in equal aggregate principal amount and the Issuer shall deliver, or shall procure that the Fiscal Agent shall issue and deliver, in full exchange for this Permanent Global Bond, duly executed and authenticated definitive Bonds (having attached to them all Coupons in respect of interest which has not already been paid on this Permanent Global Bond), security printed in accordance with any applicable legal and stock exchange requirements and in, or substantially in, the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Permanent Global Bond submitted for exchange. On exchange in full of this Permanent Global Bond, the Issuer will procure that it is cancelled and, if the holder so requests, returned to the holder together with any relevant definitive Bonds. No definitive Bonds delivered in exchange for interests in the Permanent Global Bond will be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States or its possessions in connection with the exchange.

		If for any reason definitive Bonds have not been delivered to the relevant holder(s) by 5 p.m. (London) on the Exchange Date, then at 5 p.m. (London) on the Exchange Date, such relevant holder(s) of the Permanent Global Bond will cease to have any rights under the Permanent Global Bond and Accountholders (as defined below) holding for such relevant holders will acquire directly against the Issuer and the Guarantor all those rights that such Accountholders would have had if they had been in possession of the applicable definitive Bonds that should have been delivered to them.

		“Exchange Date” means a day falling not less than 60 days, or in the case of an exchange following the giving of a default notice 30 days, after that on which the notice referred to above requiring exchange is given and on which banks are open for business in the city in which the specified office of the Fiscal Agent is located and, except in the case of exchange pursuant to (i) above, in the city in which the relevant clearing system is located.

		Upon the exchange of this Permanent Global Bond for definitive Bonds, the principal amount hereof so exchanged or the portion thereof so purchased and cancelled shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer on Part II of the Schedule hereto, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and, in each case, endorsed.

4.		Payments

		Until the entire principal amount of this Permanent Global Bond has been extinguished, this Permanent Global Bond shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as the definitive Bonds. Upon any payment of principal or interest on this Permanent Global Bond the amount so paid shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer on Part III of the Schedule hereto.

		Upon any payment of principal and endorsement of such payment on Part III of the Schedule hereto, the principal amount of this Permanent Global Bond shall be reduced for all purposes by the principal amount so paid and endorsed.

		Any monies paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Fiscal or other Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds, and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption, purchase or otherwise), shall then be repaid to the Issuer, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal or Paying Agent, as the case may be, with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer or the Guarantor may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Bond as the same shall become due. Any such payments that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be obligated to make shall be made at offices or agencies selected by it outside the United States and its territories and possessions.

		All payments of any amounts payable and paid to the bearer of this Permanent Global Bond shall be valid and, to the extent of the sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for the moneys payable hereon and on the relevant definitive Bonds and Coupons.

5.		Notices

		For so long as the Bonds are represented by this Permanent Global Bond and this Permanent Global Bond is held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, notices to Bondholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) for communication to the relative Accountholders (as defined below) rather than by publication as required by Condition 13, provided, that so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, notices shall also be published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the Bondholders on the seventh day after the date on which such notice is delivered to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) as aforesaid.

6.		Accountholders

		For so long as the Bonds are represented by this Permanent Global Bond and this Permanent Global Bond is held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as

		the holder of a particular principal amount of the Bonds (each an “Accountholder”) (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the principal amount of the Bonds standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes) shall be treated as the holder of such principal amount of the Bonds for all purposes (including for the purposes of any quorum requirements of, or the right to demand a poll at, meetings of the Bondholders) other than with respect to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds, the right to which shall be vested, as against the Issuer solely in the bearer of this Permanent Global Bond in accordance with and subject to its terms and the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Each Accountholder must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for its share of each payment made to the bearer of this Permanent Global Bond.

7.		Prescription

		Claims against the Issuer in respect of principal and interest on the Bonds represented by this Permanent Global Bond will be void unless it is presented for payment within a period of 10 years (in the case of principal) and 5 years (in the case of interest) from the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 9).

8.		Authentication

		This Permanent Global Bond shall not be or become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until authenticated by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent.

9.		Guarantee

		Payments in respect of the Bonds will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor by the guarantee which is endorsed on this Permanent Global Bond.

10.		Governing law

		This Permanent Global Bond is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, United States of America (without reference to any conflict of law rules).

		Any State or federal courts siting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Permanent Global Bond, and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Permanent Global Bonds (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Proceedings in any such courts whether on the ground of the laying of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further agrees that a judgement in any Proceedings brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause 10 shall limit any right to take Proceedings against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

		To the extent that either the Issuer or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its

		property, the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Permanent Global Bond.

		The Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the process by which any Proceedings in New York City are begun may be served on it by being delivered to it c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011. If the appointment of the person appointed to receive process on behalf of the Issuer or Guarantor ceases to be effective, the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall forthwith appoint a further person to accept service of process on its behalf and notify the name and address of such person to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) pursuant to clause 5 above, rather than by publication as required by Condition 13 and, failing such appointment within 15 days, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice addressed and delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantor.

IN WITNESS whereof this Permanent Global Bond has been executed as a deed poll on behalf of the Issuer.

(i)		Liens on property of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary;









(ii)		Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof or incurred within 180 days of the time of acquisition thereof (including, without

(iv)		Liens in favour of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary;









(v)		Liens in favour of the United States of America, any State or possession thereof or the District of Columbia, or any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute;

(x)		Liens incurred to finance construction, alteration or repair of any Principal Property and improvements thereto prior to or within 270 days after completion of such construction, alteration or repair; or









(xi)		any extension, renewal, refunding or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals, refundings or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (x), inclusive; provided, however, that (I) such extension, renewal, refunding or replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien extended, renewed, refunded or replaced (plus improvements on such property) and (II) the Funded Debt secured by such Lien at such time is not increased.

(ii)		the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary within 270 days after the sale or transfer shall have been made by the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount in cash equal to the greater of (I) the net proceeds of






		the sale or transfer of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such arrangement or (II) the fair market value of the Principal Property so leased at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by any two of the following officers of the Guarantor: the chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Directors, the president, any executive vice president or vice president, the treasurer and the controller) to the retirement of Secured Funded Debt of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Secured Funded Debt owned by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary); provided, that the amount to be applied to such retirement shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of other Secured Funded Debt voluntarily retired by the Guarantor within 270 days after such sale or transfer (notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in this item (ii) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision);









(iii)		the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary applies the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such transaction to investment in another Principal Property within 270 days prior or subsequent to such sale or transfer; provided that this exception shall apply only if such proceeds invested in such other Principal Property shall not exceed the total acquisition, repair, alteration and construction cost of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in such other Principal Property less amounts secured by any purchase money or construction mortgages on such Principal Property;

			effective after the date the Bonds are first issued, on the occasion of the next Interest Payment Date in respect of the Bonds, the Issuer (or, where payment is required to be made under the Guarantee, the Guarantor) would be required to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 9 and (ii) the requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer or Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it (which measures shall not result in the incurrence by the Issuer or Guarantor of substantial costs or expenses), the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may at its option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 13 (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date fixed for redemption), redeem all the Bonds, but not some only, at any time at their principal amount together with interest accrued to but excluding the date of redemption, provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days before the earliest date on which the Issuer (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) would be required to pay the additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Bonds then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate signed by either the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Executive Officer of the Guarantor stating that the requirement referred to in (i) above will apply on the occasion of the next Interest Payment Date and cannot be avoided by the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) taking reasonable measures available to it and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of the change or amendment.

	(b)		If the Issuer or Guarantor determines that any payment made outside the United States and its possessions by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or any Paying Agent in respect of any Bonds or Coupons or, in the case of the Guarantor, under the Guarantee, would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to the Issuer, the Guarantor, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of such Bond or Coupon who is a United States Alien (other than a requirement that (i) would not be applicable to a payment by the Issuer, the Guarantor, or any Paying Agent (I) directly to the beneficial owner or (II) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (ii) is applicable only to a payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to such beneficial owner, or (iii) can only be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien, provided that, in any case referred to in clauses (i)(I), (ii) or (iii) above, payment by the custodian, nominee or agent to the beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall at its option either (x) redeem all the Bonds, but not some only, at their principal amount together with interest accrued to but excluding the date of redemption or (y) if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall make such determination as soon as practicable and publish prompt notice thereof (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of such certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, whether the Issuer or Guarantor will redeem the Bonds or, if the conditions of the next

			succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the Bonds must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, subject as provided herein, elect by notice to the Fiscal Agent at least 45 days before the date fixed for redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not so redeem the Bonds if the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognised standing, subsequently determine not less than 30 days prior to the date affixed for redemption, that subsequent payments on the Bonds and Coupons (or under the Guarantee, as the case may be) would not be subject to any such certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, in which case the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall give prompt notice of such subsequent determination by publication in accordance with Condition 13 and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect.

			Notwithstanding the foregoing, and so long as the certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of back-up withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) may elect to pay as additional interest such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States and its possessions following the effective date of such requirement by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Paying Agents in respect of any Bond or any Coupon of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity, other than status as United States Alien, of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, the Guarantor, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority) after deduction or withholding, for or on account of such back-up withholding tax or similar charge (other than a back-up withholding tax or similar charge) that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of the presentation of such Bond or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later), will not be less than the amount provided for in such Bond or Coupon to be then due and payable. If the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, and as long as the Issuer or Guarantor is obligated to pay such additional amounts, the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall have the right to redeem the Bonds at any time in whole but not in part at their principal amount together with interest accrued to but excluding the date of redemption and notice of such redemption of the Bonds will be given to the holders of the Bonds not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in accordance with Condition 13. If the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be

			satisfied, then the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall redeem the Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

		In case the Fiscal Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right under these Conditions or the Fiscal Agency Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver, rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Fiscal Agent, then and in every such case the Issuer and/or the Guarantor and the Fiscal Agent shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor and the Fiscal Agent shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

13.

NOTICES

All notices to the Bondholders will be valid if published in a leading English language daily newspaper published in London or such other English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe as the Issuer may decide and, so long as the Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange shall so require, in one daily newspaper published in Luxembourg. The Issuer shall also ensure that the notices are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Bonds are for the time being listed. Any notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of publication or, if so published more than once or on different dates, on the date of the first publication. It is expected that publication will normally be made in the Financial Times and the Luxemburger Wort.

14.		MEETINGS OF BONDHOLDERS AND MODIFICATION

(1)		The Fiscal Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of the Bondholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the modification by Extraordinary Resolution of these Conditions or the Guarantee or the provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The quorum at any meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be one or more persons present holding or representing a clear majority in principal amount of the Bonds for the time being Outstanding (as defined in Condition 4 above), or at any adjourned meeting one or more persons present whatever the principal amount of the Bonds held or represented by him or them, except that at any meeting, the business of which includes the modification of certain of these Conditions (including, without limitation, modifying the date of maturity of the Bonds or any date for payment of interest thereon, reducing or cancelling the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable in respect of the Bonds, or altering the currency of payment of the Bonds or Coupon) the necessary quorum for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be one or more persons present holding or representing not less than two-thirds, or at any adjourned meeting not less than one-third, of the principal amount of the Bonds for the time being Outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the Bondholders will be binding on all Bondholders, whether or not they are present at the meeting, and on all Couponholders.

		For the purpose of this Condition 14 “Extraordinary Resolution” shall mean a resolution passed at a meeting of the Bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions contained in the Fiscal Agency Agreement by a clear majority of the votes given on a poll or a show of hands, except that in the case of any meeting, the business of which includes the modification of certain of these Conditions (including, without limitation, modifying the date of maturity of the Bonds or any date for payment of interest thereon, reducing or cancelling the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable in respect of the Bonds, or altering the currency of payment of the Bonds or Coupon), the majority shall consist of not less than 75% of the votes given on a poll or a show of hands, as the case may be.

(2)		The Fiscal Agent may agree, without the consent of the Bondholders or Couponholders, to any modification of any of the terms and conditions of the Bonds, the Coupons or the Guarantee or any of the provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement which is not, in the opinion of the Fiscal Agent, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders or to any modification which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest error.

(3)		Any modification shall be binding on the Bondholders and the Couponholders and, unless the Fiscal Agent agrees otherwise, any modification shall be notified by the Issuer to the Bondholders as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with Condition 13.

15.		FURTHER ISSUES

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Bondholders or Couponholders create and issue further bonds, having terms and conditions the same as those of the Bonds, or the same except for the amount of the first payment of interest, which may be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Bonds.


16.		GOVERNING LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION

(1)		The Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Guarantee, the Bonds and the Coupons are governed by, and will be constructed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(2)		Any State or federal courts siting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with the Bonds, the Coupons, the Guarantee, or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Bonds, the Coupons or the Fiscal Agency Agreement (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non- exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to Proceedings in any such courts whether on the ground of the laying of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further agrees that a judgment in any Proceedings brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Condition shall limit any right to take Proceedings against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

(3)		To the extent that either the Issuer or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Guarantee or under any Bond or Coupon.

(4)		The Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the process by which any Proceedings in New York City are begun may be served on it by being delivered to it c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011. If the appointment of the person appointed to receive process on behalf of the Issuer or Guarantor ceases to be effective, the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) shall forthwith appoint a further person to accept service of process on its behalf and notify the name and address of such person to the Bondholders pursuant to Condition 13 and, failing such appointment within 15 days, the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice addressed and delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantor.

SCHEDULE 3

- FORM OF GUARANTEE TO BE ENDORSED ON THE GLOBAL BONDS, THE BONDS
IN DEFINITIVE FORM AND THE COUPONS

GUARANTEE OF MILACRON INC.

Milacron Inc. (the “Guarantor”) as primary obligor unconditionally and irrevocably:

	(a)		guarantees to the holder from time to time of each Bond or Coupon by way of continuing guarantee the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer in respect of the Bond or Coupon (including any additional amounts which may become payable under Condition 9) 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 Bondholder or Couponholder first to take steps against the Issuer or any other person) pay to the relevant Bondholder or Couponholder the amounts otherwise due under the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement in the currency in which the amounts are payable by the Issuer.

All payments by the Guarantor under this Guarantee to a Bondholder or Couponholder who is a United States Alien (as defined below) will 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 Netherlands, the United States of America or any political subdivision or authority or any State thereof or therein, as the case may be, having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Guarantor will pay to a Bondholder who is a United States Alien such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the holders of the Bonds and Coupons after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts then due and payable which would have been receivable in respect of the Bonds or, as the case may be, Coupons, in the absence of the withholding or deduction; except that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply to any one or more of the following:

(a)

			for United States tax purposes or a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or

	(b)		any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder of a Bond or Coupon for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later (such date, the “Relevant Date”); or

	(c)		any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

	(d)		any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States or the Netherlands (or another European Union Member State) of the holder or beneficial owner of a Bond or a Coupon, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department or the Netherlands Ministry of Finance or Netherlands tax authorities (or any European Union authority) as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

	(e)		any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Bonds; or

	(f)		any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment on a Bond or Coupon if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent; or

	(g)		any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by a person described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) or Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (or any successor provision thereto),

		nor will additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of principal of or interest in respect of any Bond to any United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of the Bond.

		The term “United States Alien” means any person who, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust; the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the States thereof and the District of Columbia); and the term “possessions” means Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and the Northern Mariana Islands.

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;

	(c)		any unenforceability, invalidity or irregularity.

4.		Where any discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee (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.

5.		the Guarantor will not itself, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or create any Secured Funded Debt, without effectively providing concurrently with the incurrence, issuance, assumption, guaranty or creation of any such Secured Funded Debt that the Bonds (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinated to the Bonds) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Funded Debt, so long as such Secured Funded Debt shall be secured by a Lien, unless, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the aggregate amount of all outstanding Secured Funded Debt of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries together with all Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions relating to a Principal Property (with the exception of Attributable Debt which is excluded pursuant to clauses 6(a) to (f) below), would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from Secured Funded Debt in any computation under this clause 5, Funded Debt secured by:

	(d)		Liens in favour of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary;

	(e)		Liens in favour of the United States of America, any State or possession thereof or the District of Columbia, or any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute;

			Principal Property less amounts secured by any purchase money or construction mortgages on such Principal Property;
