TERMS OF ISSUE (1) The Agent shall cause all Temporary Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes and Definitive Bearer Notes delivered to and held by it under this Agreement to be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that such Notes are issued only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the relevant Global Note and Conditions.
(2) Subject to the procedures set out in the Procedures Memorandum, for the purposes of Subclause 7(1) the Agent is entitled to treat a telephone or facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Agent, after making reasonable investigation, believes in good faith to be) the authorised representative of the relevant Issuer named in the list referred to in, or notified pursuant to, Subclause 19(7) as sufficient instructions and authority of the relevant Issuer for the Agent to act in accordance with Subclause 7(1).
(3) In the event that a person who has signed on behalf of any Issuer a master Temporary Global Note, a master Permanent Global Note or Definitive Bearer Notes not yet issued but held by the Agent in accordance with Subclause 7(1) ceases to be authorised as described in Subclause 19(7), the Agent shall (unless the relevant Issuer gives notice to the Agent that Notes signed by that person do not constitute valid and binding obligations of the relevant Issuer or otherwise until replacements have been provided to the Agent) continue to have authority to issue any such Notes, and the relevant Issuer hereby warrants to the Agent that such Notes shall, unless notified as aforesaid, be valid and binding obligations of the relevant Issuer. Promptly upon such person ceasing to be authorised, the relevant Issuer shall provide the Agent with replacement master Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and (if applicable) Definitive Bearer Notes and the Agent shall cancel and destroy the master Temporary Global Notes, master Permanent Global Notes and (if applicable) Definitive Bearer Notes held by it which are signed by such person and shall provide to the relevant Issuer a confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying the Notes so cancelled and destroyed.
(4) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the relevant Issuer and the Agent, each Note credited to the Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other applicable clearing agency) following the delivery of a Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global Note, as the case may be, to a common depositary or, as the case may be, a common safekeeper pursuant to Subclause 3(1)(c), 3(1)(d), 4(1)(c) or 4(1)(d), respectively, shall be held to the order of the relevant Issuer. The Agent shall procure that the nominal amount of Notes which the relevant Purchaser has agreed to purchase is:
(a) debited from the Agent’s distribution account; and
(b) credited to the securities account of such Purchaser with Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other clearing agency (as specified in the Letter from Lead Manager/Dealer as provided for in Annex C to the Procedures Memorandum set forth in Appendix D hereto), in each case only upon receipt by the Agent on behalf of the relevant Issuer of the purchase price due from the relevant Purchaser in respect of such Notes.
(5) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the relevant Issuer and the Agent, if on the relevant Issue Date a Purchaser does not pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Note (the Defaulted Note) and, as a result, the Defaulted Note remains in the Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (or, in the case of Notes in CGN form, such other applicable clearing agency) after such Issue Date, the Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of the relevant Issuer. The Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer forthwith of the failure of the Purchaser to pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Defaulted Note and, subsequently, shall notify the relevant Issuer forthwith upon receipt from the Purchaser of the full purchase price in respect of such Defaulted Note.

(7) In the event of an issue of Notes that are listed on a Stock Exchange, the Agent will promptly, and in any event prior to the Issue Date in respect of such issue, send the applicable Final Terms to the relevant Stock Exchange.
(8) Execution in facsimile of any Notes and any photostatic copying or other duplication of the master Temporary Global Note or the master Permanent Global Note (in unauthenticated form, but executed manually on behalf of the relevant Issuer as stated above) shall be binding upon the relevant Issuer in the same manner as if such Notes were signed manually by such signatories.
Resolution of Issues In the event issues pertaining to a proposed TO/DO solicitation cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the CO, the CO reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed TO/DO solicitation. In such event, the contractor shall be notified in writing of the CO's decision. This decision is final and conclusive and shall not be subject to the "Disputes" clause or the "Contract Disputes Act."
