Transamerica Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank National Association (successor in interest to Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago), a banking association duly
incorporated and registered under the laws of                 , as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company has executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture dated as of March 15, 1981 (the
“Indenture”) providing for the issuance by the Company from time to time of its unsecured senior debt securities issuable in one or more series; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company has issued, and the Trustee has authenticated and delivered, the series of debt securities designated 6 1/2% Debentures due March 15, 2011 (the “Notes”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company is the obligor with respect to the Notes; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Guarantor is willing to provide the Guarantee (as defined
herein) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to amend and supplement the Indenture in certain respects; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 DEFINITIONS 
  
 SECTION 1.1    DEFINITION OF TERMS. 
  
 Unless the context otherwise requires: 
  
 (a) a term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Supplemental Indenture; 
  
 (b) a term defined anywhere in this Supplemental Indenture has the same
meaning throughout this Supplemental Indenture; 
  
 (c) the
singular includes the plural and vice versa; and 
  
 (d) the
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only and do not affect the construction of this Supplemental Indenture. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 THE PARTIES 
  
 SECTION 2.1    THE TRUSTEE. 
  

The Guarantee shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, and the Trustee shall not transfer the Guarantee to any Person except in
connection with a simultaneous transfer of the Notes carried out in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 2.2    THE GUARANTOR. 
  
 The Guarantor is hereby made a party to the Indenture. 
  

 2 

 ARTICLE III 
  
 THE GUARANTEE 
  
 SECTION 3.1    GUARANTEE. 
  

(a) The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder, and to the Trustee on behalf of each Holder, the due and punctual payment
(and not merely the collection) of the principal of (premium, if any) and interest on the Notes, and all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, by acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and the Indenture without any requirement that a Holder or Paying Agent first proceed against the Company (the “Guarantee”). The obligations under the Guarantee shall be
absolute and unconditional for the duration of the Guarantee, irrespective of (i) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Notes, (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of
any other guarantee of, all or of any of the Notes, any waiver or consent by the Holder of such Note or by the Trustee or either of them with respect to any provisions thereof or of the Indenture, (iii) the obtaining of any judgment against the
Company or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such release, amendment,
waiver, consent or judgment shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Note or increase the rate or rates of interest thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof or alter the Stated
Maturity thereof. The Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect until the principal of (premium, if any) and interest in respect of all outstanding Notes shall have been paid. 
  
 (b) The Guarantor will make all payments pursuant to the Guarantee without withholding or deduction for, or on account of,
any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, levies and other governmental charges of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed or established by or on behalf of the Netherlands or any authority in the Netherlands, unless such deduction or
withholding is required by law (a “Netherlands Tax”). In the event any Netherlands Tax is so imposed or established on any amounts payable under the Guarantee, the Guarantor agrees to pay such additional amounts to each Holder (the
“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts receivable by each Holder after any payment, withholding or deduction in respect of such Netherlands Tax shall equal the respective amounts of principal (premium, if
any) and interest, which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such payment, withholding or deduction; provided, however, that the amounts with respect to the Netherlands Tax shall be payable only to Holders
that are not residents in the Netherlands for purposes of its tax laws; and provided further, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or account of: 
  

	 	A.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Netherlands, or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof
or therein or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or treated as a resident
thereof or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; 

  

	 	B.	 	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	 	C.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on,
the Notes; 

  

	 	D.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on, any Note, if such
payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent; 

  

 3 

	 	E.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed or withheld if such Holder had made a declaration of nonresidence or other similar claim for
exemption or presented any applicable form of certificate, upon the making or presentation of which that Holder would either have been able to avoid such tax, assessment or charge or to obtain a refund of such tax, assessment or charge;

  

	 	F.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on the date more
than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or more than 30 days after the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later; 

  

	 	G.	 	any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment under the Guarantee which is required to be made pursuant to a European Union directive on the taxation of savings or any law
implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or 

  

	 	H.	 	any combination of items above; 

  
 nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on any Note pursuant to the Guarantee to any such
Holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership or a beneficial owner who is other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
would not have been entitled to such Additional Amount had it been the Holder of the Note. 
  
 Whenever in the Notes there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or interest, or in respect of, any Note such payment shall be deemed to include the payment of
Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect of such payment pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable)
in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 SECTION 3.2    WAIVER OF NOTICE AND DEMAND. 
  
 The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any requirement that the Trustee or
any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Note or the indebtedness
evidenced thereby; provided, however, that the Guarantor receives prompt written notice from the Trustee or any Holder of any failure by the Company to make any payment of principal (premium, if any) or interest or any sinking fund or
analogous payment. 
  
 SECTION
3.3    WAIVER OF GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS. 
  
 The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or by any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement until the principal (premium, if any) and interest in respect of all outstanding Notes shall have
been paid. 
  
 SECTION
3.4    NO DEFENSE; IMMUNITY; SET-OFF; COUNTERCLAIM. 
  
 To the extent that the Guarantor or any of its respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or
other similar grounds, from any legal action, any suit, process or proceeding in connection with or arising out of the Guarantee, from the giving of any relief thereunder, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from
service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment or other legal action, suit, process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of
any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which any proceeding may at any time be 

  

 4 

 
commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Guarantee, the Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees, for the benefit of each Holder, from time to time, not to plead or claim any such immunity, set-off or counterclaim.

 This Supplemental Indenture creates a guarantee of payment and not of
collection. 
  
 SECTION
3.6    OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED. 
  
 The
obligations of the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the occurrence from time to time of any of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Company of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to
the Notes to be performed or observed by the Company; 

  

	 	(b)	 	any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant
to the terms of the Notes, or any action on the part of the Company granting indulgence or extension of any kind; 

  

	 	(c)	 	the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Company or any of the assets of the Company; 

  

	 	(d)	 	any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Notes; 

  

	 	(e)	 	the settlement or compromise of any obligation of the Guarantor under the Guarantee or incurred under the Guarantee; or 

  

	 	(f)	 	any other circumstance whatsoever that may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 3.6 that the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. 

  
 There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.

  
 SECTION
3.7    SUBROGATION. 
  
 The Guarantor shall
be subrogated to all rights, if any, of the Holders of the Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to
the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this
Supplemental Indenture, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and outstanding under this Supplemental Indenture. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold
such amount in trust for the benefit of the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders. 
  
 SECTION 3.8    INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS. 
  
 The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company with respect to
the Notes, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make payments with respect to the Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in

 THE PARTIES 
  
 SECTION 2.1    THE TRUSTEE. 
  

The Guarantee shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, and the Trustee shall not transfer the Guarantee to any Person except in
connection with a simultaneous transfer of the Notes carried out in accordance with the Indenture.

 The Guarantor is hereby made a party to the Indenture.

 ARTICLE III 
  
 THE GUARANTEE 
  
 SECTION 3.1    GUARANTEE. 
  

(a) The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder, and to the Trustee on behalf of each Holder, the due and punctual payment
(and not merely the collection) of the principal of (premium, if any) and interest on the Notes, and all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, by acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and the Indenture without any requirement that a Holder or Paying Agent first proceed against the Company (the “Guarantee”). The obligations under the Guarantee shall be
absolute and unconditional for the duration of the Guarantee, irrespective of (i) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Notes, (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of
any other guarantee of, all or of any of the Notes, any waiver or consent by the Holder of such Note or by the Trustee or either of them with respect to any provisions thereof or of the Indenture, (iii) the obtaining of any judgment against the
Company or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such release, amendment,
waiver, consent or judgment shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Note or increase the rate or rates of interest thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated
Maturity thereof or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of maturity thereof. The Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect until the principal
of (premium, if any) and interest in respect of all outstanding Notes shall have been paid. 
  
 (b) The Guarantor will make all payments pursuant to the Guarantee without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, levies and other governmental charges of any
nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed or established by or on behalf of the Netherlands or any authority in the Netherlands, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law (a “Netherlands Tax”). In the event any Netherlands
Tax is so imposed or established on any amounts payable under the Guarantee, the Guarantor agrees to pay such additional amounts to each Holder (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts receivable by each
Holder after any payment, withholding or deduction in respect of such Netherlands Tax shall equal the respective amounts of principal (premium, if any) and interest, which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such
payment, withholding or deduction; provided, however, that the amounts with respect to the Netherlands Tax shall be payable only to Holders that are not residents in the Netherlands for purposes of its tax laws; and provided further,
that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or account of: 
  

	 	A.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Netherlands, or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof
or therein or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or treated as a resident
thereof or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; 

  

	 	B.	 	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

  

	 	C.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on,
the Notes; 

  

 3 

	 	D.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on, any Note, if such
payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent; 

  

	 	E.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed or withheld if such Holder had made a declaration of nonresidence or other similar claim for
exemption or presented any applicable form of certificate, upon the making or presentation of which that Holder would either have been able to avoid such tax, assessment or charge or to obtain a refund of such tax, assessment or charge;

  

	 	F.	 	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on the date more
than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or more than 30 days after the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later; 

  

	 	G.	 	any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment under the Guarantee which is required to be made pursuant to a European Union directive on the taxation of savings or any law
implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or 

  

	 	H.	 	any combination of items above; 

  
 nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or any interest on any Note pursuant to the Guarantee to any such
Holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership or a beneficial owner who is other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
would not have been entitled to such Additional Amount had it been the Holder of the Note. 
  
 Whenever in the Notes there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or interest, or in respect of, any Note such payment shall be deemed to include the payment of
Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect of such payment pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable)
in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 SECTION 3.2    WAIVER OF NOTICE AND DEMAND. 
  
 The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any requirement that the Trustee or
any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Note or the indebtedness
evidenced thereby; provided, however, that the Guarantor receives prompt written notice from the Trustee or any Holder of any failure by the Company to make any payment of principal (premium, if any) or interest or any sinking fund or
analogous payment. 
  
 SECTION
3.3    WAIVER OF GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS. 
  
 The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or by any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement until the principal (premium, if any) and interest in respect of all outstanding Notes shall have
been paid. 
  
 SECTION
3.4    NO DEFENSE; IMMUNITY; SET-OFF; COUNTERCLAIM. 
  
 To the extent that the Guarantor or any of its respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or
other similar grounds, from any legal action, any suit, process or proceeding in connection with or arising out of the Guarantee, from the giving of any relief thereunder, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from
service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment from attachment in aid of execution of 

  

 4 

 
judgment, or from execution of judgment or other legal action, suit, process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any
judgment, in any jurisdiction in which any proceeding may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Guarantee, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees, for the benefit of each Holder, from time to time, not to plead or claim any such immunity, set-off or counterclaim. 
  
 SECTION 3.5    GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT. 
  
 This Supplemental Indenture creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
  
 SECTION 3.6    OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED.

  
 The obligations of the Guarantor under this Supplemental
Indenture shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the occurrence from time to time of any of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Company of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to
the Notes to be performed or observed by the Company; 

  

	 	(b)	 	any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant

	 	(c)	 	the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Company or any of the assets of the Company; 

  

	 	(d)	 	any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Notes; 

  

	 	(e)	 	the settlement or compromise of any obligation of the Guarantor under the Guarantee or incurred under the Guarantee; or 

  

	 	(f)	 	any other circumstance whatsoever that may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 3.6 that the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. 

  
 There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.

  
 SECTION
3.7    SUBROGATION. 
  
 The Guarantor shall
be subrogated to all rights, if any, of the Holders of the Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to
the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this
Supplemental Indenture, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and outstanding under this Supplemental Indenture. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold
such amount in trust for the benefit of the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders. 
  
 SECTION 3.8    INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS. 
  
 The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company with respect to
the Notes, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make payments with respect to the Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in
subsections (a) through (f), inclusive, of Section 3.6 hereof.
