STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTION AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED

The materials relating to the offering do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer
or solicitation in any place where offers or solicitations are not permitted by law. No action has been or will be
taken in any jurisdiction by the Initial Purchasers or the issuer that would or is intended to, permit a public
offering of the securities, or possession or distribution of the offering memorandum (in preliminary, proof or

where action for that purpose is required. If a jurisdiction requires that the offering be made by a licensed broker

professional clients are appropriate. The target market and distribution channel(s) may vary in relation to sales
outside the EEA in light of local regulatory regimes in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending such Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers'
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of such Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
You are reminded that the attached offering memorandum has been delivered to you on the basis that you

2018.
The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company. They will rank equally in right of payment with all
existing and future debt of the Company that is not contractually subordinated to the Notes or preferred by operation of law
and will be senior in right of payment to any future debt of the Company that is contractually subordinated to the Notes. The

at our option, redeem all or part of any series of Notes by paying a "make-whole" premium. At any time on or after the date
that is 90 days prior to their respective maturities, we may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of any series of
Notes at par. We may also redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time upon certain changes in tax laws. In the case
of a change of control triggering event, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof. See "Description of the Notes."
The Company plans to use the proceeds of the offering and cash on hand to redeem its outstanding $2,485,000,000
41/2% Senior Notes due 2020 and 625,000,000 45/8% Senior Notes due 2020 (together, the "2013 Notes") in their entirety.
Approval-in-principle has been received for the listing and quotation of the Notes on the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST"). The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the
statements made or opinions expressed or information contained in this offering memorandum. Approval in-principle for the
listing and quotation of the Notes on the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the offering, us, our
subsidiaries or associated companies (if any) or the Notes. Currently, there is no public market for the Notes.
The Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes are being
offered and sold in offshore transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities

Securities Act. The offering of the Notes and the related Note Guarantees are not being made to any U.S. person
(as defined in Regulation S) or within the United States, other than pursuant to offshore transactions with
non-U.S. persons conducted in accordance with Regulation S. Accordingly, the Notes and the related Note

regulations and governmental guidelines of Japan.
In addition, the Notes are not, as part of the initial distribution by the Initial Purchasers at any time, to be
directly or indirectly offered or sold to, or for the benefit of, any person other than a gross recipient, except as
specifically permitted under the Special Taxation Measures Act. A "gross recipient" for this purpose is (i) a
beneficial owner that is, for Japanese tax purposes, neither an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese
corporation, nor an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a person
having a special relationship with the issuer of the Notes as described in Article 6, Paragraph 4 of the Special
Taxation Measures Act, (ii) a Japanese financial institution or financial instruments business operator as
designated in Article 3-2-2, Paragraph 28 of the Cabinet Order (Cabinet Order No. 43 of 1957, as amended)

individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation whose receipt of interest on the Notes will be made
through a payment-handling agent in Japan as defined in Article 2-2, Paragraph 2 of the Cabinet Order. By
subscribing for the Notes, an investor will be deemed to have represented that it is a gross recipient.
Interest payments on the Notes will be subject to Japanese withholding tax unless the holder establishes
that the Note is held by or for the account of a holder that is (1) for Japanese tax purposes, neither (a) an
individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor (b) an individual non-resident of Japan or a
non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a specially-related person of ours, and in compliance with certain

would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently,
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering
