Table of Contents
Rate Notes and the 2043 Fixed Rate Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on 17 January and

17 July of each year, commencing on 17 July 2013. Interest on the Notes will accrue from 17 January 2013.

If the date of such interest payment is not a Business Day, then payment will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest will accrue on the Notes until the principal of the applicable Notes is paid or duly

made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Interest on the Notes will be paid to the persons in whose names such Notes (or one or more predecessor

notes) are registered at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1, immediately preceding the
applicable interest payment date, whether or not such date is a Business Day.

If the date of maturity of principal of any Fixed Rate Note or the date fixed for redemption or payment in
connection with an acceleration of any Fixed Rate Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or
principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption or payment in
connection with an acceleration, and no interest shall accrue as a result of the delayed payment.

Business Day
A day on which commercial banks and exchange markets are open, or not authorized to close, in the City of
New York, London and Brussels.

Additional Amounts
To the extent any Guarantor is required to make payments in respect of the Notes, such Guarantor will make
all payments in respect of the Notes without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or
future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction at source by
or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax
resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the "Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction") unless such withholding or deduction is required by law, in which event, such
Guarantor will pay to the Holders such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as shall be
necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall
equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would otherwise have been receivable in the
absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on
account of any taxes or duties only in the circumstances described under "Description of Debt Securities
and Guarantees--Additional Amounts" in the accompanying Prospectus.

Table of Contents
References to principal or interest in respect of the Notes include any Additional Amounts, which may be
payable as set forth in the Indenture (as defined herein).

The covenant regarding Additional Amounts will not apply to any Guarantor at any time when such

Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, but shall apply to the Issuer at any time that
the Issuer is incorporated in any jurisdiction outside the United States.

Optional Redemption
The Notes may be redeemed at any time, at the Issuer's option, as a whole or in part, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

· 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

· as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted

to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate described herein plus 5 basis points in the case of the 2016 Fixed Rate
Notes, 10 basis points in the case of the 2018 Fixed Rate Notes, 15 basis points in the case of the
2023 Fixed Rate Notes and 15 basis points in the case of the 2043 Fixed Rate Notes;

plus, in each case described above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to

(but excluding) the redemption date.

Optional Tax Redemption
Each series of Notes may be redeemed at any time, at the Issuer's or the Parent Guarantor's option, as a
whole, but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts (see "Description of Debt
Securities and Guarantees--Additional Amounts" in the accompanying Prospectus), if any) to (but
excluding) the redemption date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties,
regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or
otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax,
or in the interpretation, application or administration of any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings
(including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or

the relevant Guarantor) would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be
avoided by the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor) taking reasonable measures available to it, provided,
however, that any series of Notes may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely

as a result of the Issuer assigning its obligations under such Notes to a Substitute Issuer (as defined in
"Description of the Notes"), unless this assignment to a Substitute Issuer is undertaken as part of a plan of
merger by the Parent Guarantor.

No notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or

the Guarantor would be obligated to pay the Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of such series of
Notes were then due.

Use of Proceeds
The Issuer intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds (estimated to be $3,964 million before
expenses) from the sale of the Notes toward general corporate purposes.

Listing and Trading
Application will be made for the Notes to be admitted to listing on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"). No assurance can be given that such application will be approved.

Name of Depositary
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

Book-Entry Form
The Notes will initially be issued to investors in book-entry form only. Fully-registered global notes
representing the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series will be issued and registered in
the name of a nominee for DTC, the securities depositary for the Notes, for credit to accounts of direct or
indirect participants in DTC, including Euroclear S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking,
société anonyme ("Clearstream"). Unless and until Notes in definitive certificated form are issued, the
only holder will be Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or the nominee of a successor depositary. Except as
described in this prospectus supplement or accompanying Prospectus, a beneficial owner of any interest in
a global note will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of definitive Notes. Accordingly, each
beneficial owner of any interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC, Euroclear,
Clearstream, or their participants, as applicable, to exercise any rights under the Notes.

Taxation
For a discussion of the United States, Belgian and Luxembourg tax consequences associated with the Notes,
see "Taxation--Supplemental Discussion of United States Taxation," "Taxation--Belgian Taxation" and
"Taxation--Luxembourg Taxation" in this prospectus supplement and "Tax Considerations" in the
accompanying Prospectus. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the non-United
States, United States federal, state, local and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of the Notes.
