connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record
date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether
Holders of the requisite proportion of Amortizing Bonds Outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,

8
Table of Contents

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Holders or
other document provided or permitted by this Supplemental Indenture to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with,
(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at the address of
its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Supplemental Indenture, or at any
other addresses previously furnished in writing to each Holder or the Company by the Trustee, or
(b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in
the first paragraph of this Supplement Indenture, or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Trustee by the Company.
All notices delivered hereunder shall be in English and shall be deemed effective when
actually received.
Section 1.7 Notice to Holders; Waiver.
Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Company
or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if
any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.
In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor
any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such
Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplement Indenture, then any
manner of
9

giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient
giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

English in the Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal, provided that for so long as any
Amortizing Bonds are represented by Global Notes, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant
notice to Euroclear and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective participants in
substitution for publication in any such newspaper. If at any time publication in any such
newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid for the purposes of this section if published
in an English language newspaper selected by the Company with general circulation in the market
regions otherwise covered by the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. Any such notice shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on
different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.

principal herein collectively called “Defaulted Principal” and such overdue interest and
interest on such overdue interest herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

Interest (as the case may be) to the Persons in whose names the Amortizing Bonds (or their

Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest, which shall

and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed

counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of or
interest on Amortizing Bonds which have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Section 4.2.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 4.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Company covenants that if
(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Amortizing
Bond when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or
(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Amortizing Bond at the
Maturity thereof,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee (but no such demand shall be required in the case
of an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(5)), pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders of such Amortizing Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable on such Amortizing Bonds
for principal and interest, and interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the
rate borne by the Amortizing Bonds, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the
sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce
the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Amortizing Bonds and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon the Amortizing Bonds, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Supplemental Indenture or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of
Singapore or any authority of or in Singapore having authority to tax unless these taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted. In the event of such
withholding or deduction, the Company agrees to pay by way of additional interest such additional
amounts of, or in respect of, principal, and interest as will result (after deduction of such
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges of Singapore) in the payment to each Holder of an Amortizing Bond of the
amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Amortizing Bond had no withholding or
deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:
(i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been
imposed but for the fact that such Xxxxxx:
24
Table of Contents
(A) was for Singapore tax purposes treated as a resident of Singapore or who is
otherwise subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges by
reason of being connected with Singapore other than through the mere ownership of,
or receipt of payment under, such Amortizing Bond; or
(B) presented such Amortizing Bond more than 30 calendar days after the date on
which the payment in respect of such Amortizing Bond first became due and payable or
provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have
been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Amortizing Bond
for payment on any day within such period of 30 calendar days;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax,
assessment or other governmental charge;
(iii) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise
than by deduction or withholding from the payment of principal of or interest on the
Amortizing Bonds;
(iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of an Amortizing
Bond with a reasonable request by the Company addressed to the Holder (A) to provide
information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such
beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any
reasonable information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) or (B), is
required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of Singapore
as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge; or
(v) any combination of the items listed above;
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or
interest on any Amortizing Bond to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other

have been entitled to the Additional Amounts.
Any reference herein to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Amortizing Bond
shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Supplemental
Indenture to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
under this Supplemental Indenture.

The Company will maintain in Singapore and London an office or agency where Amortizing Bonds
may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Amortizing Bonds may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Amortizing Bonds and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The principal office

Trustee in London shall serve as such office or agency of the Company in London. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such offices or

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside of London) where the Amortizing Bonds may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in London for such purposes and provided, further, that the Company shall be
required at all times to maintain such an office or agency in each place of payment for the
Amortizing Bonds. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
Section 5.5 Reports to Holders
Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Amortizing Bonds remain outstanding, the Company

reporting obligations under the provisions above, the Company shall make available, upon request,
to any Holder and any prospective purchaser of the Amortizing Bonds the information required
pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
