Calculation Agent:

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

Calculation of US dollar LIBOR:

The Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR (as defined above) in accordance with the following provisions: With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the Interest Reset Date that appears on the designated LIBOR page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined as follows: the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected and identified by

– 12 –

the Issuer, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected and identified by the Issuer for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected and identified by the Issuer are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR determined as of that Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date. The designated LIBOR page is the Reuters screen “LIBOR01”, or any successor service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. The Reuters screen “LIBOR01” is the display designated as the Reuters screen “LIBOR01, or such other page as may replace the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other service or services as may be denominated for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits by the British Bankers’ Association (the “BBA”), its successor, such as ICE Benchmark Administration Limited or such other entity assuming the responsibility of the BBA or its successor in calculating the London Interbank Offered Rate in the event the BBA or its successor no longer does so. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the Interest Rate on the notes shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the notes, the Issuer and the trustee, absent manifest error

II.

Each Underwriter represents and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that (i) would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act or (ii) would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to be filed with the Commission; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor consent to the use by each Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that contains only (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering which, in their final form, will not be inconsistent with the final term sheet of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof and (ii) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and that is included in the final term sheet of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor prepared and filed pursuant to Section V(a) hereof.

III.

The Issuer and the Guarantors are advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the applicable Pricing Agreement has become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The terms of the public offering of the Securities are set forth in the Prospectus.

IV.

Payment for the Securities shall be made by certified or official bank check or checks or wire transfer, as specified in the applicable Pricing Agreement, payable to the order of the Issuer in the funds specified in such Pricing Agreement at the time and place, in each case as set forth in such Pricing Agreement, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the third New York business day thereafter, as shall be designated in writing by you, which date and time may be postponed by agreement among you, the Issuer and the Guarantors or as provided in Section X hereof.

(c) There shall not have occurred any change in the condition, financial or otherwise, business or operations, of the Parent Guarantor, its subsidiaries and its affiliates, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Pricing Prospectus, that, in your reasonable judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your reasonable judgment, after consultation with the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(d) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date certificates, dated the Closing Date and signed, respectively, by an officer of each of the Issuer and of the Guarantors, to the effect set forth in clauses (b) and (c) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have performed in all material respects all of their respective obligations to be performed hereunder or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.

VI.

– 29 –

(f) To endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request and to pay all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with such qualification Securities;provided, however, that in connection therewith neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as an underwriter of securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any U.S. jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

VII.

(a) The Issuer agrees, if requested by you prior to the Applicable Time, to prepare a final term sheet containing solely a description of the Securities, in a form reasonably approved by you, and to file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such Rule.

(b) Each Underwriter represents that other than any free writing prospectus (i) which contains only information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or the offering (or, without limitation, information concerning comparable bond prices) or (ii) which contains only information that (A) describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and (B) is included in the final term sheet described in Section VII(a) above, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Guarantors and that Schedule III to the applicable Pricing Agreement is a complete list of any free writing prospectus for which the Underwriters have received such consent.

– 30 –

(c) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors represents and agrees that, other than as required under paragraph (a) above, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives and that Schedule III to the applicable Pricing Agreement is a complete list of any free writing prospectus for which the Issuer or the Guarantors have received such consent.

(d) The Issuer has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending.

(e) The Issuer agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Issuer or the Guarantors will give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph VI(e) do not apply to statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon information concerning any Underwriter furnished to the Issuer or the Guarantors in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

VIII.

The Issuer and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including without limitation the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding on any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuer or the Guarantors shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or caused by any

– 31 –

omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Issuer or the Guarantors in writing by any Underwriter through you expressly for use therein; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the Securities that are the subject thereof if a copy of the Pricing Disclosure Package was not conveyed to such person for purposes of Sections 12(a)(2) and 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act at or prior to the Applicable Time and the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Pricing Disclosure Package.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuer and the Guarantors, their respective directors, their respective officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls each of the Issuer or the Guarantors within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to each Underwriter, but, with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuer or the Guarantors shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Issuer or the Guarantors in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in such document.

In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (hereinafter called the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the “indemnifying party”) in writing (or by facsimile and confirmed in writing) but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the

– 32 –

indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives named in the applicable Pricing Agreement in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and by the Issuer and the Guarantors in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings.

If the indemnification provided for in the first or second paragraph of this Section VIII is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the

– 33 –

one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the applicable Pricing Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or by the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section VIII were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section VIII, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section VIII are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section VIII are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section VIII and the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of any of the Issuer, the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any other person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

– 34 –

IX.

Any Pricing Agreement shall be subject to termination in your discretion, by notice given to the Issuer and the Guarantors, if (a) after the execution and delivery of such Pricing Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of Euronext Brussels, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared (x) in New York by either Federal or New York State authorities or (y) in Belgium by either the Belgian authorities or the European Central Bank or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your reasonable judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clause (a) (i), such event singly or together with any other such event makes it, in your reasonable judgment, after consultation with the Issuer and the Guarantors, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and Prospectus.

X.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder and under the applicable Pricing Agreement on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement bears to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to the applicable Pricing Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section X by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase under the applicable Pricing Agreement on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements

– 35 –

satisfactory to you, the Issuer and the Guarantors for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, either Issuer or the Guarantors.
