(b) |
each person for the time being shown in the
records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as having a particular
nominal amount of Notes credited to his securities account, |
|
as the absolute owner thereof
free from all encumbrances and shall not be required to obtain proof
of such ownership (other than, in the case of any person for the time
being so shown in such records, a certificate or letter of confirmation
signed on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other
form of record made by either of them) or as to the identity of the bearer
of any Global Note, Definitive Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon. |

represented by a Global Note and if it does so rely, such letter of confirmation,
form of record, evidence, information and/or certification shall be conclusive

|
|

and unconditionally guarantee to the Trustee: |

(i) |
the due and punctual payment in accordance
with these presents of the principal of and interest on all Notes issued
by CSF and of all other amounts payable by CSF (in its capacity as an
Issuer) under these presents in relation to such Notes and the relative
Receipts and the relative Coupons; and |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
the due and punctual performance and observance
by CSF (in its capacity as an Issuer) of each of the other provisions
of these presents on its part to be performed or observed in relation
to all Notes, Receipts and Coupons issued by it. |
|
|
|
(B) |
Cadbury Schweppes and CSF hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the Trustee: |
|
|
|
|
(i) |
the due and punctual payment in accordance
with these presents of the principal of and interest on all Notes issued
by CSI and of all other amounts payable by CSI (in its capacity as an
Issuer) under these presents in relation to such Notes and the relative
Receipts and the relative Coupons; and |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
the due and punctual performance and observance
by CSI (in its capacity as an Issuer) of each of the other provisions
of these presents on its part to be performed or observed in relation
to all Notes, Receipts and Coupons issued by it. |
|
|
|
(C) |
If the Relevant Issuer fails
for any reason whatsoever punctually to pay any such principal, interest
or other amount, the Relevant Guarantors shall cause each and every such
payment to |
18
Back to Contents
|
be made as if the Relevant Guarantors instead
of the Relevant Issuer were expressed to be the primary obligor of the
relevant Note, Receipt or Coupon and not merely as surety (but without
affecting the obligations of the Relevant Issuer) to the intent that
the holder thereof shall receive the same amounts in respect of principal,
interest or such other amount as would have been receivable had such
payments been made by the Relevant Issuer. |
|
|
(D) |
If any payment received by the Trustee or
any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder pursuant to the provisions
of these presents in relation to the relative Notes, Receipts or Coupons
shall (whether on the subsequent bankruptcy, insolvency or corporate
reorganisation of the Relevant Issuer or, without limitation, on any
other event) be avoided or set aside for any reason, such payment shall
not be considered as discharging or diminishing the liability of the
Relevant Guarantors and this guarantee shall continue to apply as if
such payment had at all times remained owing by the Relevant Issuer and
the Relevant Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee and the relative
Noteholders and/or Receiptholders and/or Couponholders (as the case may
be) in respect thereof PROVIDED THAT the obligations of the Relevant
Guarantors under this sub-clause shall, as regards each payment made
to the Trustee or any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder which
is avoided or set aside, be contingent upon such payment being reimbursed
to the Relevant Issuer or other persons entitled through the Relevant
Issuer. |
|
|
(E) |
Each of Cadbury Schweppes, CSF and CSI (in
their capacities as guarantors) hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional and that each of the Relevant Guarantors shall
be fully liable irrespective of the validity, regularity, legality or
enforceability against the Relevant Issuer of, or of any defence or counter-claim
whatsoever available to the Relevant Issuer in relation to, its obligations
under these presents, whether or not any action has been taken to enforce
the same or any judgment obtained against the Relevant Issuer, whether
or not any of the other provisions of these presents have been modified,
whether or not any time, indulgence, waiver, authorisation or consent
has been granted to the Relevant Issuer by or on behalf of the relative
Noteholders or the relative Receiptholders or Couponholders or the Trustee,
whether or not any determination has been made by the Trustee pursuant
to Clause 19(A), whether or not there have been any dealings or transactions
between the Relevant Issuer, any of the relative Noteholders, Receiptholders
or Couponholders or the Trustee, whether or not the Relevant Issuer has
been dissolved, liquidated, merged, consolidated, bankrupted or has changed
its status, functions, control or ownership, whether or not the Relevant
Issuer has been prevented from making payment by foreign exchange provisions
applicable at its place of registration or incorporation and whether
or not any other circumstances have occurred which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge of or defence to a guarantor. Accordingly,
the validity of this guarantee shall not be affected by reason of any
invalidity, irregularity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any
of the obligations of the Relevant Issuer under these presents and this
guarantee shall not be discharged nor shall the liability of each of
the Relevant Guarantors under these presents be affected by any act,
thing or omission or means whatever whereby its liability would not have
been discharged if it had been the principal debtor. |
|
|
(F) |
Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause
9(A), the Trustee may determine from time to time whether or not it will
enforce this guarantee which it may do without making any demand of or
taking any proceedings against the Relevant Issuer and may from time
to time make any arrangement or compromise with the Relevant Guarantor
in relation to this guarantee which the Trustee may consider expedient
in the interests of the relative Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders. |

(G) |
Each of the Relevant Guarantors
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of dissolution, liquidation, merger or bankruptcy
of the Relevant Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against
the Relevant Issuer, protest or notice with respect to the relative Notes,
Receipts or Coupons or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
whatsoever and hereby covenants that this guarantee shall be a continuing
guarantee, shall extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable and
obligations owed by the Relevant Issuer under these presents in relation
to the relative Notes, Receipts and Coupons, shall not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in these
presents in relation to the relative Notes, Receipts and Coupons and
is additional to, and not instead of, any security or other guarantee
or indemnity at any time existing in favour of any person, whether from
the Relevant Guarantors or otherwise. |
|
|
(H) |
If any moneys shall become payable by the
Relevant Guarantors under this guarantee each of the Relevant Guarantors
shall not, so long as the same remain unpaid, without the prior written
consent of the Trustee: |
|
|
|
|
(a) |
in respect of any amounts paid by it under
this guarantee, exercise any rights of subrogation or contribution or,
without limitation, any other right or remedy which may accrue to it
in respect of or as a result of any such payment; or |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
in respect of any other moneys for
the time being due to the Relevant Guarantors by the Relevant Issuer,
claim payment thereof or exercise any other right or remedy; |
|
(including in either case claiming
the benefit of any security or right of set-off or, on the liquidation
of the Relevant Issuer, proving in competition with the Trustee). If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation
of the Relevant Issuer any payment or distribution of assets of the Relevant
Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
shall be received by the Relevant Guarantors before payment in full of
all principal of, and interest on, the relative Notes, Receipts and Coupons
shall have been made to the relative Noteholders, Receiptholders and
Couponholders, such payment or distribution shall be received by Relevant
Guarantors on trust to pay the same over immediately to the Trustee for
application in or towards the payment of all sums due and unpaid under
these presents in accordance with Clause 10 on the basis that Clause
10 does not apply separately and independently to each Series of the
Notes save that nothing in this sub-clause (H) shall operate so as to
create any charge by the Relevant Guarantors over such payment or distribution. |

in respect of which the relevant amount is due and payable. |

PROCEEDINGS, ACTION AND INDEMNIFICATION |
|
|
(A) |
THE Trustee shall not be bound to take any
proceedings mentioned in Clause 8(A) or any other action in relation
to these presents unless respectively directed or requested to do so
(i) by an Extraordinary Resolution or (ii) in writing by the holders

against all Liabilities to which it may thereby render itself liable
or which it may incur by so doing. |
|
|
(B) |
Only the Trustee may enforce the provisions
of these presents. No Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder shall
be entitled to proceed directly against any of the relevant Obligors

APPLICATION OF MONEYS |
|
|
|
ALL moneys received by the Trustee
under these presents from any of the relevant Obligors (including any
moneys which represent principal or interest in respect of Notes, Receipts
or Coupons which have become void under Condition 9) shall, unless and
to the extent attributable, in the opinion of the Trustee, to a particular
Series of the Notes issued by the relevant Issuer, be apportioned pari
passu and rateably between each Series of the Notes issued by the
relevant Issuer, and all moneys received by the Trustee under these presents
from any of the relevant Obligors to the extent attributable in the opinion
of the Trustee to a particular Series of the Notes issued by the relevant
Issuer or which are apportioned to such Series as aforesaid, be held
by the Trustee upon trust to apply them (subject to Clause 12): |
|
|
|
FIRST in payment or satisfaction
of all amounts then due and unpaid under Clauses 15 and/or 16(J) to the
Trustee and/or any Appointee; |
|

|
SECONDLY in or towards payment pari
passu and rateably of all principal and interest then due and unpaid
in respect of the Notes of that Series; |
|

passu and rateably of all principal and interest then due and unpaid
in respect of the Notes of each other Series issued by the relevant
Issuer; and |
|
|
|
FOURTHLY in payment of the balance
(if any) to the relevant Issuer (without prejudice to, or liability in
respect of, any question as to how such payment to the relevant Issuer
shall be dealt with as between the relevant Issuer and any other person), |
|
|
|
PROVIDED ALWAYS that any payment
required to be made by the Trustee pursuant to these presents shall only
be made subject to any applicable laws and regulations. |
21
Back to Contents
|
Without prejudice to this Clause
10, if the Trustee holds any moneys which represent principal or interest
in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons issued by the relevant Issuer
which have become void or in respect of which claims have been prescribed
under Condition 9, the Trustee will hold such moneys on the above trusts. |
|
THE Trustee shall give notice
to the relevant Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 of the day
fixed for any payment to them under Clause 10. Such payment may be made
in accordance with Condition 6 and any payment so made shall be a good
discharge to the Trustee. |
|
|
12. |
INVESTMENT BY TRUSTEE |
|
|
(A) |
IF the amount of the moneys at any time
available for the payment of principal and interest in respect of the
Notes issued by the relevant Issuer under Clause 10 shall be less than
10 per cent. of the nominal amount of the Notes issued by such Issuer
then outstanding the Trustee may at its discretion invest such moneys
in some or one of the investments authorised below. The Trustee at its
discretion may vary such investments and may accumulate such investments
and the resulting income until the accumulations, together with any other
funds for the time being under the control of the Trustee and available
for such purpose, amount to at least 10 per cent. of the nominal amount
of the Notes issued by such Issuer then outstanding and then such accumulations
and funds shall be applied under Clause 10. |
|
|
(B) |
Any moneys which under the trusts of these
presents ought to or may be invested by the Trustee may be invested in
the name or under the control of the Trustee in any investments for the
time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of
trust moneys or in any other investments whether similar to the aforesaid
or not which may be selected by the Trustee or by placing the same on
deposit in the name or under the control of the Trustee at such bank
or other financial institution and in such currency as the Trustee may
think fit. If that bank or institution is the Trustee or a Subsidiary,
holding or associated company of the Trustee, it need only account for
an amount of interest equal to the amount of interest which would, at
then current rates, be payable by it on such a deposit to an independent
customer. The Trustee may at any time vary any such investments for or
into other investments or convert any moneys so deposited into any other
currency and shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from any
such investments or deposits, whether due to depreciation in value, fluctuations
in exchange rates or otherwise. |
|
|
|
UPON any payment under Clause
10 (other than payment in full against surrender of a Note, Receipt or
Coupon) the Note, Receipt or Coupon in respect of which such payment
is made shall be produced to the Trustee or the Paying Agent by or through
whom such payment is made and the Trustee shall or shall cause such Paying
Agent to enface thereon a memorandum of the amount and the date of payment
but the Trustee may in any particular case dispense with such production
and enfacement upon such indemnity being given as it shall think sufficient. |
|
|
(A) |
EACH of the relevant Obligors

|
|
|
|
(i) |
at all times carry on and conduct its affairs
in a proper and efficient manner; |
22

|
(ii) |
so far as permitted by applicable law, give
or procure to be given to the Trustee such opinions, certificates, information

authorities and discretions vested in it under these presents or by operation
of law; |

the relevant Issuer is CSI) or, as the case may be, CSI (where the relevant
Issuer is CSF) shall have no reasonable objection free access to such
books of account at all reasonable times during normal business hours
upon giving prior notice provided that an Event of Default has occurred
or the Trustee certifies in writing to the relevant Issuer that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that an Event of Default or a Potential
Event of Default has occurred, might have occurred or is about to occur
and such access is permitted by applicable law; |
|
|
|
|
(v) |
send to the Trustee (in addition to any

profit and loss account, report, circular and notice of general meeting
issued or sent to holders of its publicly held securities as soon as
practicable after the issue or publication thereof; |
|
|
|
|
(vi) |
upon becoming aware thereof forthwith give
notice in writing to the Trustee of the happening of any Event of Default
or any Potential Event of Default or of the coming into existence of
any Security which would require any security to be given to the Notes
pursuant to Condition 4; |
|
|
|
|
(vii) |
give to the Trustee (a) within 14 days after
demand by the Trustee therefor and (b) (without the necessity for any
such demand) promptly after the publication of its audited accounts in

Exchange of those of the Notes
which are quoted or listed on the relevant Stock Exchange or, if it is
unable to do so having used all reasonable endeavours or if the maintenance
of such listing is agreed by the relevant Issuer and the Trustee to be
unduly onerous, use all reasonable endeavours to obtain and maintain
a quotation or listing of such Notes issued by it on such other stock
exchange or exchanges or securities market or markets as the relevant
Issuer may (with the prior written approval of the Trustee) decide and
shall also upon obtaining a quotation or listing of such Notes issued
by it on such other stock exchange or exchanges or securities market
or markets enter into a trust deed supplemental to this Trust Deed to

respect of the Notes or the relative Receipts or Coupons by any of the
relevant Obligors shall become subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction
of any territory or any political sub-division or any authority thereof
or therein having power to tax other than or in addition to the United
Kingdom or any political sub-division or any authority thereof or therein
having power to tax, immediately upon becoming aware thereof notify the
Trustee in writing of such event and (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees)
enter forthwith into a trust deed supplemental to this Trust Deed, in
form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee, such supplemental trust
deed to modify both Condition 7(b) and Condition 8 so that, in substitution
for (or, as the case may be, addition to) the references in those Conditions
to the United Kingdom or any political sub-division or any authority
thereof or therein having power to tax, such Conditions make reference
to that other or additional territory or any political sub-division or
any authority thereof or therein having power to tax to whose taxing

THE Trustee may without the consent or sanction
of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders and without
prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default from time to time and at any time

in the opinion of the Trustee it may be proper to make PROVIDED THAT
the Trustee is of the opinion that such modification will not be materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) to these presents

required or entitled to exercise a power, trust, authority or discretion
under these presents, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction

is the holder of all Receipts and Coupons appertaining to each Definitive
Note of which he is the holder. |

NO NOTICE TO RECEIPTHOLDERS OR COUPONHOLDERS |
|
|
(B) |
Neither the Trustee nor the relevant Issuer
shall be required to give any notice to the Receiptholders or Couponholders
for any purpose under these presents and the Receiptholders or Couponholders
shall be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any
notice given to the holders of Definitive Notes in accordance with Condition
14. |
|
EACH of the relevant Obligors
shall severally indemnify the Trustee, every Appointee, the Noteholders,
the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and keep them indemnified against: |
|
|
|
|
(a) |
any loss or damage incurred by any of them
arising from the non-payment by any of the relevant Obligors of any amount
due to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes issued by the relevant
Issuer and the relative Receiptholders or Couponholders under these presents
by reason of any variation in the rates of exchange between those used
for the purposes of calculating the amount due under a judgment or order
in respect thereof and those prevailing at the date of actual payment
by such relevant Obligors; and |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
any deficiency arising or resulting from
any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the
local currency equivalent of the amounts due or contingently due under
these presents (other than this Clause) is calculated for the purposes
of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of any of the relevant Obligors
and (ii) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in such
bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. The amount of such deficiency
shall be deemed not to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange
occurring between the said final date and the date of any distribution
of assets in connection with any such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. |
|
|
|
The above indemnities shall
constitute obligations of the relevant Obligors separate and independent
from their other obligations under the other provisions of these presents
and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Trustee
or the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders from time
to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the
judgment or filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency
or liquidation of any of the relevant Obligors for a liquidated sum or
sums in respect of amounts due under these presents (other than this
Clause). Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute
a loss suffered by the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders
and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by such
relevant Obligor or its liquidator or liquidators. |
|
|
|
If the amount receivable by
the Trustee or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders if converted
on the relevant date for payment into the relevant currency of payment
would yield a sum in excess of that due in such relevant currency of
payment, the Trustee shall hold such excess to the order of the relevant
Issuer or, as the case may be, the other person making payment. |
|
|
(A) |
THE power to appoint a new trustee of these
presents shall be vested in the Issuers jointly but no person shall be
appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary
Resolution. One or more persons may hold office as trustee or trustees
of these presents but such trustee or trustees shall be or include a
Trust Corporation. Whenever there shall be more than two trustees of
these presents the majority of such trustees shall be |
33
Back to Contents
|
competent to execute and exercise
all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested in
the Trustee by these presents provided that a Trust Corporation shall
be included in such majority. Any appointment of a new trustee of these
presents shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the Issuers
to the Agent and the Noteholders. |
(B) |
Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause
(A) above, the Trustee may, upon giving prior written notice to, and
after prior consultation with, all the relevant Obligors where the Trustee
considers such consultation to be reasonably practicable but without
the consent of the relevant Obligors, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders
or the Couponholders), appoint any person established or resident in
any jurisdiction (whether a Trust Corporation or not) to act either as
a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Trustee: |
|
|
|
(i) |
if the Trustee considers such appointment
to be in the interests of the Noteholders; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
for the purposes of conforming to any legal
requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts is or are to be performed; or |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
for the purposes of obtaining a judgment
in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either
a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of these presents
against any of the relevant Obligors. |
|
|
|
The relevant Issuer irrevocably
appoints the Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf
to execute any such instrument of appointment. Such a person shall (subject
always to the provisions of these presents) have such trusts, powers,
authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Trustee
by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred
or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Trustee shall have power
in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration
as the Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable
costs, charges and expenses properly and reasonably incurred by it in
performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee, shall
for the purposes of these presents be treated as costs, charges and expenses
incurred by the Trustee. |
|
|
23. |
TRUSTEE'S RETIREMENT AND
REMOVAL |
|
|
|
A trustee of these presents
may retire at any time on giving not less than three months' prior written
notice to the Issuers without giving any reason and without being responsible
for any Liabilities incurred by reason of such retirement. The Noteholders
shall have the power exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution to remove
any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents. The Issuers
jointly undertake that in the event of the only trustee of these presents
which is a Trust Corporation giving notice under this Clause or being
removed by Extraordinary Resolution they will use all reasonable endeavours
to procure that a new trustee of these presents being a Trust Corporation
is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The retirement
or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor
trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed. |
|
|
24. |
TRUSTEE'S POWERS TO BE ADDITIONAL |
|
|
|
THE powers conferred upon the
Trustee by these presents shall be in addition to any powers which may

holder of any of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons. |

THE FIRST SCHEDULE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
NOTES
The following are the Terms and Conditions
of the Notes which will be incorporated by reference into each Global Note
(as defined below) and each definitive Note, in the latter case only if permitted
by the relevant stock exchange or other relevant authority (if any) and agreed
by the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer at the time of issue but,
if not so permitted and agreed, such definitive Note will have endorsed thereon
or attached thereto such Terms and Conditions. The applicable Pricing Supplement
in relation to any Tranche of Notes may specify other terms and conditions
which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with
the following Terms and Conditions, replace or modify the following Terms
and Conditions for the purpose of such Notes. The applicable Pricing Supplement
(or the relevant provisions thereof) will be endorsed upon, or attached to,
each Global Note and definitive Note. Reference should be made to "Form
of the Notes" for a description of the content of Pricing Supplements
which will specify which of such terms are to apply in relation to the relevant
Notes.
This Note is one of a Series (as
defined below) of Notes issued by Cadbury Schweppes public limited company
("Cadbury Schweppes"), Cadbury Schweppes Finance p.l.c. ("CSF")
or Cadbury Schweppes Investments plc ("CSI" and, together with
Cadbury Schweppes and CSF in their capacities as Issuers, the "Issuers" and
each an "Issuer") constituted by a Trust Deed (such Trust Deed
as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "Trust
Deed") dated 26 May 1999 made between Cadbury Schweppes, CSF, CSI and
The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the "Trustee", which

Pricing Supplement (as defined below).
Pursuant to the Trust Deed the payment
of all amounts payable in respect of Notes, Receipts and Coupons issued by
CSF will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Cadbury Schweppes
and CSI and the payment of all amounts payable in respect of Notes, Receipts
and Coupons issued by CSI will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed

requires, be deemed to include a reference to Talons or talons. Definitive
Notes repayable in instalments have receipts ("Receipts") for the
payment of the instalments of principal (other than the final instalment)
attached on issue. Global Notes do not have Receipts, Coupons or Talons attached
on issue.
The Pricing Supplement for this Note
(or the relevant provisions thereof) is attached to or endorsed on this Note
and supplements these Terms and Conditions and may specify other terms and
conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent
with these Terms and Conditions, replace or modify these Terms and Conditions
for the purposes of this Note. References to the
39
Back to Contents
"applicable Pricing Supplement" are

or endorsed on this Note.

which expression shall, in relation to any Notes represented by a Global
Note, be construed as provided below), the holders of the Receipts (the "Receiptholders")
and the holders of the Coupons (the "Couponholders", which expression
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the holders of the
Talons), in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
As used herein, "Tranche" means
Notes which are identical in all respects (including as to listing) and "Series" means
a Tranche of Notes together with any further Tranche or Tranches of Notes
which are (i) expressed to be consolidated and form a single series and (ii)

Agreement and the applicable Pricing Supplement are available for inspection
during normal business hours at the registered office for the time being
of the Trustee (being at the date hereof at Xxxxx Xxxxx, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx,

save that, if this Note is an unlisted Note of any Series, the applicable
Pricing Supplement will only be available for inspection by a Noteholder
holding one or more unlisted Notes of that Series, and such Noteholder must
produce evidence satisfactory to the Trustee or, as the case may be, the
relevant Paying Agent as to its holding of such Notes and identity. The Noteholders,
the Receiptholders and the Couponholders are deemed to have notice of, and
are entitled to the benefit of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed, the
Agency Agreement and the applicable Pricing Supplement which are applicable
to them. The statements in these Terms and Conditions include summaries of,
and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed and the Agency
Agreement.
Words and expressions defined in
the Trust Deed or the Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Pricing
Supplement shall have the same meanings where used in these Terms and Conditions
unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated and provided
that, in the event of inconsistency between the Trust Deed and the Agency
Agreement, the Trust Deed will prevail and, in the event of inconsistency
between the Agency Agreement or the Trust Deed and the applicable Pricing
Supplement, the applicable Pricing Supplement will prevail.
1. |
Form, Denomination and Title |
The Notes are in bearer form and,
in the case of definitive Notes, serially numbered, in the Specified Currency
and the Specified Denomination(s). Notes of one Specified Denomination may
not be exchanged for Notes of another Specified Denomination.
This Note is a Fixed Rate Note, a
Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note, an Index Linked Interest Note, a
Dual Currency Interest Note or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending
upon the Interest Basis shown in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
This Note may be an Index Linked
Redemption Note, an Instalment Note, a Dual Currency Redemption Note, a Partly
Paid Note or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending on the Redemption/Payment
Basis shown in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Definitive Notes are issued with
Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon Notes in which case references
to Coupons and Couponholders in these Terms and Conditions are not applicable.
Subject as set out below, title to
the Notes, Receipts and Coupons will pass by delivery. Each relevant Obligor,
any Paying Agent and the Trustee will (except as otherwise required by law)
deem and treat the bearer of any Note, Receipt or Coupon as the absolute
owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership
or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all
purposes but, in the case of any Global Note, without prejudice to the provisions
set out in the next succeeding paragraph.
For so long as any of the Notes is
represented by a Global Note held on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as
operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream
Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"),
each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for
the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream, Luxembourg
as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (in which regard
any certificate or other document issued by
40
Back to Contents
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
including any form of statement or print out of electronic records provided
by the relevant clearing system in accordance with its usual procedures and
in which the holder of a particular nominal amount of the Notes is clearly
identified together with the amount of such holding or any other letter of
confirmation form of recent information and/or certification made by either
of them shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case
of manifest error) shall be treated by each relevant Obligor, the Paying
Agents and the Trustee as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes
for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal or interest
on such nominal amount of such Notes, for which purpose the bearer of the
relevant Global Note shall be treated by each relevant Obligor, the Paying
Agents and the Trustee as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes
in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note and
the expressions "Noteholder" and "holder of Notes" and
related expressions shall be construed accordingly.
Notes which are represented by a
Global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures
of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. References
to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so
permits, be deemed to include a reference to any successor operator and/or
successor clearing system and/or any additional or alternative clearing system
authorised to maintain accounts therein, specified in the applicable Pricing
Supplement and/or approved by the relevant Issuer, the Agent and the Trustee.
The Notes and any relative Receipts
and Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the
provisions of Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the relevant Issuer and
(subject as aforesaid) rank pari passu without any preference among themselves
and equally with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
of the relevant Issuer (save for certain obligations required to be preferred
by law).
The payment of principal and interest
in respect of all Notes, Receipts and Coupons issued by CSF and all other
moneys payable by CSF under or pursuant to the Trust Deed has been unconditionally
and irrevocably guaranteed by Cadbury Schweppes and CSI in the Trust Deed
and the payment of principal and interest in respect of all Notes, Receipts
and Coupons issued by CSI and all other moneys payable by CSI under or pursuant
to the Trust Deed has been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by
Cadbury Schweppes and CSF in the Trust Deed (together, the "Guarantees").
The obligations of Cadbury Schweppes and CSI (if the relevant Issuer is CSF)
or Cadbury Schweppes and CSF (if the relevant Issuer is CSI) under the Guarantees
are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions
of Condition 4) unsecured obligations of such company and subject as aforesaid
rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of each
such company (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law).
So long as any of the Notes remains
outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed), no relevant Obligor will (except
as otherwise required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction) create
or permit to subsist any Security upon, or with respect to, any of its present
or future assets or revenues to secure any existing or future Relevant Indebtedness
of any person (or to secure any guarantee given by any relevant Obligor of
any Relevant Indebtedness of any person), unless such Obligor shall, simultaneously
with, or prior to, the creation of such Security, take any and all action
necessary to procure that all amounts payable by any relevant Obligor under
the Notes, the Coupons and the Trust Deed are secured equally and rateably
therewith by such Security in the same manner or in a manner satisfactory
to the Trustee or that such other Security is provided as the Trustee shall,
in its absolute discretion, deem not materially less beneficial to the Noteholders
or as shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the
Trust Deed) of the Noteholders.
The foregoing shall not apply to
(i) |
any Security created by any
relevant Obligor after the date of issue of the Notes in substitution
for any Security created by a company which becomes a Subsidiary (as
defined in the Trust Deed) of such Obligor after the date of issue of
the Notes (if such last-mentioned Security shall have been created prior
to the date of, and not in contemplation of, such company becoming a
Subsidiary of |
41
Back to Contents
|
such Obligor the value of which
does not materially exceed the then current value of the Security for
which it is being substituted; |
|
|
(ii) |
any Security created by any
relevant Obligor (whether prior to, simultaneously with or following
the issue of the Relevant Indebtedness) upon an amount or assets with
a value not exceeding the amount of the proceeds or the anticipated proceeds
of, or upon the proceeds (or any part or parts of the proceeds) of, or
upon any assets, returns, revenues or other benefits acquired or to be
acquired with, or relating to, the proceeds (or any part or parts of
the proceeds) of, any such Relevant Indebtedness; and |
|
|
(iii) |
any Security relating to any
loan or other indebtedness which does not wholly come within the definition
of Relevant Indebtedness set out below. |
"Relevant Indebtedness" means
any loan or other indebtedness which:
(a) |
has an initial maturity of
over 12 months; |
|
|
(b) |
is in the form of, or represented
by, any bonds, notes, loan stock or other securities issued otherwise
than to constitute or represent advances made by banks and/or other lending
institutions; |
|
|
(c) |
is denominated or payable
(whether compulsorily or at the option of the holder) in any currency
other than the currency of the country in which the issuer has its principal
place of business or is denominated in the currency of the country in
which the issuer has its principal place of business but is initially
placed or offered for subscription or sale by or on behalf of, or by
agreement with, the issuer as to more than 50 per cent. to persons resident
outside such country; and |
|
|
(d) |
at the time of its initial
distribution is, or is intended by the issuer to become, quoted or listed
on any stock exchange. Where any bonds, notes or other securities are

Interest |
|
|
(a) |
Interest on Fixed Rate
Notes |
|
Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest
on its outstanding nominal amount (or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, the
amount paid up) from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date at
the rate(s) per annum equal to the Rate(s) of Interest. Interest will
be payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year up
to (and including) the Maturity Date. |
Except as provided in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment
Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such
date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount. Payments of interest on any
Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement,
amount to the Broken Amount so specified.
As used in these Terms and Conditions,"Fixed
Interest Period" means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment
Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or
first) Interest Payment Date.
If interest is required to be calculated
for a period ending other than a Fixed Interest Period, such interest shall
be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination,
multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the
resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency,
half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance
with applicable market convention.
"Day Count Fraction" means
in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with
this Condition 5(a):
(i) |
if "Actual/Actual (ISMA)" is
specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement: |
42

|
(a) |
in the case of Notes where
the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the most
recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement
Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (the "Accrual
Period") is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period during
which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period
divided by the product of (1) the number of days in such Determination
Period and (2) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the
applicable Pricing Supplement) that would occur in one calendar year;
or |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
in the case of Notes where
the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which
the Accrual Period ends, the sum of: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) |
the number of days in such
Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual
Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such
Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates that would
occur in one calendar year; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) |
the number of days in such
Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the
product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y)
the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year;
and |
|
|
(ii) |
if "30/360" is specified
in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number of days in the period
from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none,
the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment
date (such number of days being calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days with 12 30-day months) divided by 360. |
In these Terms and Conditions:
"Determination Period" means
the period from (and including) a Determination Date to (but excluding) the
next Determination Date (including, where either the Interest Commencement
Date or the final Interest Payment Date is not a Determination Date, the
period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on
the first Determination Date falling after, such date).
"sub-unit" means,
with respect to any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such currency
that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency and, with
respect to euro, means one cent.
(b) |
Interest on Floating
Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes |
|
|
(i) |
Interest Payment
Dates |
|
Each Floating Rate Note and Index
Linked Interest Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount
(or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, the amount paid up) from (and including)
the Interest Commencement Date and such interest will be payable in arrear
on either: |
|
|
(A) |
the Specified Interest Payment
Date(s) in each year specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;
or |
|
|
(B) |
if no Specified Interest Payment
Date(s) is/are specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, each date
(each such date, together with each Specified Interest Payment Date,
an "Interest Payment Date") which falls the number of months
or other period specified as the Specified Period in the applicable Pricing
Supplement after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case
of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date. |
Such interest will be payable in
respect of each Interest Period (which expression shall, in these Terms and
Conditions, mean the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date
(or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first)
Interest Payment Date).
If a Business Day Convention is specified
in the applicable Pricing Supplement and (x) if there is no numerically corresponding
day in the calendar month in which an Interest Payment Date should occur
or (y) if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is
not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified is:
(1) |
in any case where Specified
Periods are specified in accordance with Condition 5(b)(i)(B) above,
the Floating Rate Convention, such Interest Payment Date (i) in the case
of (x) above, shall be the |
43
Back to Contents
|
last day that is a Business
Day in the relevant month and the provisions of (B) below shall apply mutatis
mutandis or (ii) in the case of (y) above, shall be postponed to
the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into
the next calendar month, in which event (A) such Interest Payment Date
shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and
(B) each subsequent Interest Payment Date shall be the last Business
Day in the month which falls the Specified Period after the preceding
applicable Interest Payment Date occurred; or |
|
|
(2) |
the Following Business Day
Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
day which is a Business Day; or |
|
|
(3) |
the Modified Following Business
Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the
next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the
next calendar month, in which event such Interest Payment Date shall
be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; or |
|
|
(4) |
the Preceding Business Day
Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the
immediately preceding Business Day. |
In this Condition, "Business
Day" means a day which is both:
(A) |
a day on which commercial
banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London and any
Additional Business Centre specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;
and |
|

any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which
commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the
principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency
(if other than London and any Additional Business Centre and which, if
the Specified Currency is New Zealand dollars, shall be Auckland) or
(2) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET
System is open. In these Terms and Conditions,"TARGET system" means
the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer
(TARGET) System. |
|
|
(ii) |
Rate of Interest |
|
The Rate of Interest payable
from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked
Interest Notes will be determined in the manner specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement. |
|
|
(A) |
ISDA Determination for
Floating Rate Notes |
|
Where ISDA Determination is
specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which
the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each
Interest Period will be the relevant ISDA Rate plus or minus (as indicated
in the applicable Pricing Supplement) the Margin (if any). For the purposes
of this sub-paragraph (A). "ISDA Rate" for an Interest Period
means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined by the
Agent under an interest rate swap transaction if the Agent were acting
as Calculation Agent for that swap transaction under the terms of an
agreement incorporating the 2000 ISDA Definitions as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and as amended
and updated as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes (the "ISDA
Definitions") and under which: |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
the Floating Rate Option is
as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
the Designated Maturity is
a period specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; and |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
the relevant Reset Date is
either (i) if the applicable Floating Rate Option is based on the London
inter-bank offered rate ("LIBOR") or on the Euro-zone interbank
offered rate ("EURIBOR"), the first day of that Interest Period
or (ii) in any other case, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. |
|
|
|
For the purposes of this sub-paragraph
(A), "Floating Rate", "Calculation Agent", "Floating
Rate Option", "Designated Maturity" and "Reset Date" have
the meanings given to those terms in the ISDA Definitions. |

(B) |
Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes |
|
|
|
Where Screen Rate Determination
is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which
the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest
Period will, subject as provided below, be either: |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
the offered quotation; or |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations, |
|
|
|
(expressed as a percentage rate
per annum) for the Reference Rate which appears or appear, as the case may
be, on the Relevant Screen Page as at 11.00 a.m. (London time, in the case
of LIBOR, or Brussels time, in the case of EURIBOR) on the Interest Determination
Date in question plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement)
the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Agent. If five or more of such
offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest
(or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, one only of such quotations)
and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one
only of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Agent for the purpose
of determining the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of such offered
quotations. |
|
|
|
The Agency Agreement contains
provisions for determining the Rate of Interest in the event that the Relevant
Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of (1) above, no such offered
quotation appears or, in the case of (2) above, fewer than three such offered
quotations appear, in each case as at the time specified in the preceding
paragraph. |
|
|
|
If the Reference Rate from time
to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes is specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement as being other than LIBOR or EURIBOR, the Rate of Interest
in respect of such Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable
Pricing Supplement. |
|
|
(iii) |
Minimum Rate of Interest and/or Maximum Rate of Interest |
|
If the applicable Pricing Supplement
specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in
the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period
determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) above is
less than such Minimum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such
Interest Period shall be such Minimum Rate of Interest. |
If the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies a Maximum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) above is greater than such Maximum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Maximum Rate of Interest.
(iv) |
Determination of Rate of Interest and
Calculation of Interest Amounts |
|
The Agent, in the case of Floating
Rate Notes, and the Calculation Agent, in the case of Index Linked Interest
Notes,
will at or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of
Interest is to be determined, determine the Rate of Interest for the
relevant Interest Period. In the case of Index Linked Interest Notes, the
Calculation Agent will notify the Agent of the Rate of Interest for the
relevant Interest Period as soon as practicable after calculating the
same. |
The Agent will calculate the amount of interest (the "Interest Amount") payable on the Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes in respect of each Specified Denomination for the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention.
"Day Count Fraction" means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with this Condition 5(b):
(i) |
if "Actual/365" or "Actual/Actual
(ISDA)" is
specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in
the Interest Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of that Interest Period
falls in a leap year, the sum of (A) the actual number of days in that portion
of the Interest Period |
45
Back to Contents
|
falling in a leap year divided by
366 and (B) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period
falling in a non-leap year divided by 365); |
|
|
(ii) |
if "Actual/365 (Fixed)" is specified
in
the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest
Period divided by 365; |
|
|
(iii) |
if "Actua1/360" is specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided
by 360; |
|
|
(iv) |
if "30/360","360/360" or "Bond
Basis" is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number
of days in the Interest Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months (unless
(a) the last day of the Interest Period is the 31st day of a month but
the first day of the Interest Period is a day other than the 30th or 31st
day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall
not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (b) the last day
of the Interest Period is the last day of the month of February, in which
case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to
a 30-day month)); and |
|
|
(v) |
if "30E/360" or "Eurobond
Basis" is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number
of days in the Interest Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months, without
regard to the date of the first day or last day of the Interest Period
unless, in the case of the final Interest Period, the Maturity Date is
the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February
shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month). |
|
|
(v) |
Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest
Amounts |
|
The Agent will cause the Rate
of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relevant
Interest Payment Date to be notified to the relevant Issuer and any stock
exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate
Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the time being listed or by
which they have been admitted to listing and notice thereof to be published
in accordance with Condition 14 as soon as possible after their determination
but in no event later than the fourth London Business Day thereafter. Each
Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently
be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment)
without prior notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the
Interest Period. Any such amendment will be promptly notified to each stock
exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate
Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the time being listed or by
which they have been admitted to listing and to the Noteholders in accordance
with Condition 14. For the purposes of this paragraph, the expression "London
Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which
banks and foreign exchange markets are open for general business in London. |
|
(vi) |
Determination or Calculation by Trustee |
|
If for any reason at any relevant
time the Agent or, as the case may be, the Calculation Agent defaults in
its obligation to determine the Rate of Interest or the Agent defaults
in its obligation to calculate any Interest Amount in accordance with sub-paragraph
(ii)(A) or (B) above or as otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing
Supplement, as the case may be, and in each case in accordance with paragraph
(iv) above, the Trustee shall determine the Rate of Interest at such rate
as, in its absolute discretion (having such regard as it shall think fit
to the foregoing provisions of this Condition, but subject always to any
Minimum Rate of Interest or Maximum Rate of Interest specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement), it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances
or, as the case may be, the Trustee shall calculate the Interest Amount(s)
in such manner as it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances
and each such determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been
made by the Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable. |
|
(vii) |
Certificates to be final |
|
All certificates, communications,
opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given,
expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this
Condition 5(b), whether by the Agent or, if applicable, the Calculation
Agent or the Trustee, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith
or manifest error) be binding on each relevant Obligor, the Agent, the
Calculation Agent (if applicable), the other Paying Agents and all Noteholders,
Receiptholders and Couponholders and (in the |
46

absence as aforesaid) no liability
to each relevant Obligor, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders
shall attach to the Agent or, if applicable, the Calculation Agent or the
Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers,
duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.
(c) |
Interest on Dual Currency Notes |
|
The rate or amount of interest
payable in respect of Dual Currency Interest Notes shall be determined
in the manner specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. |
|
(d) |
Interest on Partly Paid Notes |
|
In the case of Partly Paid Notes
(other than Partly Paid Notes which are Zero Coupon Notes), interest will
accrue as aforesaid on the paid-up nominal amount of such Notes and otherwise
as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. |
|
(e) |
Accrual of interest |
|
Each Note (or in the case of the
redemption of part only of a Note, that part only of such Note) will cease
to bear interest (if any) from the date for its redemption unless, upon
due presentation thereof, payment of principal is improperly withheld or
refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue as provided in
the Trust Deed. |
|
6. |
Payments |
|
|
(a) |
Method of payment |
|
Subject as provided below: |
|
|
(i) |
payments in a Specified Currency other than euro
will be made by credit or transfer to an account in the relevant Specified Currency
(which, in the case of a payment in Japanese Yen to a non-resident of Japan,
shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with, or, at the option
of the payee, by a cheque in such Specified Currency drawn on, a bank in the
principal financial centre of the country of such Specified Currency (which,
if the Specified Currency is New Zealand dollars, shall be Auckland); and |
|
|
(ii) |
payments in euro will be made by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or, at the option of the payee, by a euro cheque. |
Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8.
(b) |
Presentation of definitive Notes, Receipts and Coupons |
|
Payments of principal in respect
of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner
provided in paragraph (a) above only against presentation and surrender
(or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of definitive
Notes, and payments of interest in respect of definitive Notes will (subject
as provided below) be made as aforesaid only against presentation and surrender
(or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of Coupons,
in each case at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United
States (which expression, as used herein, means the United States of America
(including the States and the District of Columbia, its territories, its
possessions and other areas subject to its
jurisdiction)). |
Payments of instalments of principal (if any) in respect of definitive Notes, other than the final instalment, will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of the relevant Receipt in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Payment of the final instalment will be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of the relevant Note in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Each Receipt must be presented for payment of the relevant instalment together with the definitive Note to which it appertains.
Receipts presented without the definitive Note to which they appertain do not constitute valid obligations of the relevant Issuer. Upon the date on which any definitive Note becomes due and repayable, unmatured Receipts (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.
47
Back to Contents
Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form (other than Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Notes or Long Maturity Notes (as defined below)) should be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons falling to be issued on exchange of matured Talons), failing which the amount of any missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, the same proportion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon as the sum so paid bears to the sum due) will be deducted from the sum due for payment. Each amount of principal so deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of the relative missing Coupon at any time before the expiry of
10 years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 8) in respect
of such principal (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void
under Condition 9) or, if later, five years from the date on which such Coupon
would otherwise have become due, but in no event thereafter.
Upon any Fixed Rate Note in definitive form becoming due and repayable prior to its Maturity Date, all unmatured Talons (if any) appertaining thereto will become void and no further Coupons will be issued in respect thereof.
Upon the date on which any Floating Rate Note, Dual Currency Note, Index Linked Note or Long Maturity Note in definitive form becomes due and repayable, unmatured Coupons and Talons (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment or, as the case may be, exchange for further Coupons shall be made in respect thereof. A "Long Maturity Note" is a Fixed Rate Note (other than a Fixed Rate Note which on issue had a Talon attached) whose nominal amount on issue is less than the aggregate interest payable thereon provided that such Note shall cease to be a Long Maturity Note on the Interest Payment Date on which the aggregate amount of interest remaining to be paid after that date is less than the nominal
amount of such Note.
If the due date for redemption of any definitive Note is not an Interest Payment Date, interest (if any) accrued in respect of such Note from (and including) the preceding or Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, the Interest Commencement Date shall be payable only against surrender of the relevant definitive Note.
(c) |
Payments in respect of Global Notes |
|
Payments of principal and interest
(if any) in respect of Notes represented by any Global Note will (subject
as provided below) be made in the manner specified above in relation to
definitive Notes and otherwise in the manner specified in the relevant
Global Note against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such
Global Note at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United
States. A record of each payment made against presentation or surrender
of any Global Note, distinguishing between any payment of principal and
any payment of interest, will be made on such Global Note by the Paying
Agent to which it is presented and such record shall be prima facie evidence
that the payment in question has been made. |
|
(d) |
General provisions applicable to payments |
|
The holder of a Global Note shall
be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect of Notes represented
by such Global Note and each relevant Obligor will be discharged by payment
to, or to the order of, the holder of such Global Note in respect of each
amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular nominal
amount of Notes represented by such Global Note must look solely to Euroclear
or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for his share of each payment
so made by each relevant Obligor to, or to the order of, the holder of
such Global Note. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Condition, if any amount of principal and/or interest in respect
of Notes is payable in U.S. dollars, such U.S. dollar payments of principal
and/or interest in respect of such Notes will be made at the specified office
of a Paying Agent in the United States if:
(i) |
the relevant Issuer has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment in U.S. dollars at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount of principal and interest on the Notes in the manner provided above when due; |
48
Back to Contents
(ii) |
payment of the full amount of such principal and interest at all such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of principal and interest in U.S. dollars; and |
|
|
(iii) |
such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of each relevant Obligor, adverse tax consequences to any such Obligor. |
|
|
(e) |
Payment Day |
|
If the date for payment of any
amount in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a Payment Day,
the holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the next following
Payment Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further
interest or other payment in respect of such delay. For these purposes,"Payment
Day" means any day which (subject to Condition 9) is: |
|
(i) |
a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in: |
|
|
|
|
(A) |
the relevant place of presentation; |
|
|
|
|
(C) |
any Additional Financial Centre
specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; and |
|

Rate Note or an Index Linked Interest Note), on giving not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' notice to the Trustee and the Agent and, in accordance
with Condition 14, the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable),

as provided or referred to in Condition 8 or any other Obligor in respect of
such Note would be unable for reasons outside its control to procure payment
by the relevant Issuer and in making payment itself would be required to pay
such additional amounts, in each case as a result of any change in, or amendment
to or interpretation of the laws, published practice or regulations of a Tax
Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 8), or any change in the application or
interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes
effective on or after the date on which agreement is reached to issue the first
Tranche of the
Notes; and |
|
|
(ii) |
such obligation cannot be avoided by any relevant Obligor taking reasonable measures available to it, |
provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which any relevant Obligor would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.
Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition, the relevant Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two Directors of the relevant Issuer stating that the relevant Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the relevant Issuer so to redeem have occurred, and an opinion in a form satisfactory to the Trustee of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that any relevant Obligor has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment.
A relevant Obligor which is not the
relevant Issuer in any case shall be entitled to require the relevant Issuer
to exercise the Issuer's rights under this Condition 7(b).
Notes redeemed pursuant to this Condition
7(b) will be redeemed at their Early Redemption Amount referred to in paragraph
(e) below
together (if appropriate) with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date
of redemption.
(c) |
Redemption at the option
of the relevant Issuer (Issuer Call) |
|
If Issuer Call is specified in the
applicable Pricing Supplement, the relevant Issuer may, having given: |
|
|
(i) |
not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice
to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14; and |
|
|
(ii) |
not less than 15 days before the giving of the notice referred to in (i), notice to the Trustee and the Agent; |
|
|
(which
notices shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date fixed for redemption),
redeem all or some only of the Notes then outstanding on any Optional Redemption
Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount(s) specified in, or determined
in the manner specified in, the applicable Pricing Supplement together, if
appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the relevant Optional
Redemption Date. Any such redemption must be of a nominal amount not less
than the Minimum Redemption Amount or not more than a Higher Redemption Amount
in each case as may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. In
the case of a partial redemption of Notes, the Notes to be redeemed ("Redeemed Notes") will be selected individually by lot,
in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, and in accordance with the rules of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by a Global Note, not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (such date of selection being hereinafter called the "Selection Date"). In the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, a list of the serial numbers of such Redeemed Notes will be published in accordance with Condition 14 not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for |
50
Back to Contents
redemption. The aggregate nominal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes shall bear the same proportion to the aggregate nominal amount of all Redeemed Notes as the aggregate nominal amount of definitive Notes outstanding bears to the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes outstanding, in each case on the Selection Date, provided that such first-mentioned nominal amount shall, if necessary, be rounded downwards to the nearest integral multiple of the Specified Denomination, and the aggregate nominal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by a Global Note shall be equal to the balance of the Redeemed Notes. No exchange of the relevant Global Note will be permitted during the period from (and including) the Selection Date to (and
including) the date fixed for redemption pursuant to this paragraph (c) and notice to that effect shall be given by the relevant Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 at least five days prior to the Selection Date. |
|
(d) |
Redemption at the option of the Noteholders (Investor Put) |
|
If Investor Put is specified in
the applicable Pricing Supplement, upon the holder of any Note giving to
the relevant Issuer in accordance with Condition 14 not less than 15 nor
more than 30 days' notice the relevant Issuer will, upon the expiry of
such notice, redeem, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms specified
in the applicable Pricing Supplement, in whole (but not in part), such
Note on the Optional Redemption Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount
together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the
Optional Redemption Date. |
If this Note is in definitive form, to exercise the right to require redemption of this Note the holder of this Note must deliver such Note at the specified office of any Paying Agent at any time during normal business hours of such Paying Agent falling within the notice period, accompanied by a duly completed and signed notice of exercise in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from any specified office of any Paying Agent (a "Put Notice") and in which the holder must specify a bank account (or, if payment is required to be made by cheque, an address) to which payment is to be made under this Condition accompanied by, if this Note is in definitive form, this Note or evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent concerned that
this Note will, following delivery of the Put Notice, be held to its order or under its control.

Early Redemption Amounts |
|
For the purpose of paragraph (b) above
and Condition 10, each Note will be redeemed at its Early Redemption Amount

|
|
(ii) |
in the case of a Note (other than a Zero Coupon
Note but including an Instalment Note and Partly Paid Note) with a Final Redemption
Amount which is or may be less or greater than the Issue Price or which is payable
in a Specified Currency other than that in which the Notes are denominated, at
the amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable
Pricing Supplement or, if no such amount or manner is so specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, at its nominal amount; or |
|
|
(iii) |
in the case of a Zero Coupon Note, at an amount (the "Amortised Face Amount") calculated in accordance with the following formula: |
|
|

|
|
|
|
"AY" |
means the Accrual Yield expressed
as a decimal;
and |
|
|
|
|
"y" |
is a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of days (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each) from (and including) the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption or (as the case may be) the date upon which such Note becomes due and repayable and the denominator of which is 360, |

at the option of any relevant Obligor, surrendered to any Paying Agent
for cancellation. |
|

|
All Notes which are redeemed will
forthwith be cancelled (together with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons and

|
If the amount payable in respect
of any Zero Coupon Note upon redemption of such Zero Coupon Note pursuant
to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above or upon its becoming due and repayable
as provided in Condition 10 is improperly withheld or refused, the amount
due and repayable in respect of such Zero Coupon Note shall be the amount
calculated as provided in paragraph (e)(iii) above as though the references
therein to the date fixed for the redemption or the date upon which such
Zero Coupon Note becomes due and payable were replaced by references to

All payments of principal and interest
in respect of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons by each relevant Obligor
will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any
present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied
by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction unless such withholding or deduction
is required by law. In such event, each relevant Obligor will pay such
additional amounts as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts
received by the holders of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons after such withholding
or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest
which would otherwise have been receivable in respect of the Notes, Receipts
or Coupons, as the case may be, in the absence of such requirement to make
such withholding or deduction; except that no such additional amounts shall
be payable with respect to any Note, Receipt or Coupon presented for payment: |

some connection with a Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere holding of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon; or |

(ii) |
by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction (i) by presenting any form or certificate or (ii) by making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority; or |
|
|
(iii) |
more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to an additional amount on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Payment Day (as defined in Condition 6(e)); or |
52

(iv) |
where such withholding or deduction is imposed on
a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing
or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to European Union Directive
2003/48/EC or any other directive on the taxation of savings income implementing
the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000; or |

Back to Contents
|
that they maintain a Paying
Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obliged

is such a Member State). |
In addition, the relevant Issuer
and (as the case may be) any other relevant Obligor(s) shall forthwith appoint
a Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City in the circumstances
described in Condition 6(d). Any variation, termination, appointment or change

Notices |
|
All notices regarding the Notes
will be deemed to be validly given if published in a leading English
language daily newspaper of general circulation in London. It is expected

The relevant Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published
in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any stock
exchange or other relevant authority on which the Notes are for the time
being listed or by which they have been admitted to listing. Any such
notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of the first publication
or, where required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the
date of the first publication in all required newspapers. If publication
as provided above is not practicable, notice will be given in such other
manner, and will be deemed to have been given on such date, as the Trustee
may approve. |
Until such time as any definitive
Notes are issued, there may, so long as any Global Notes representing the
Notes are held in their entirety on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream,
Luxembourg, be substituted for such publication in such newspaper(s) the
delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg
for communication by them to the holders of the Notes and, in addition, for
so long as any Notes are listed on a stock exchange or have been admitted
to listing by another relevant authority and the rules of that stock exchange
or other relevant authority so require, such notice will be published in
a daily newspaper of general circulation in the place or places required
by that stock exchange or other relevant authority. Any such notice shall
be deemed to have been given to the holders of the Notes on the seventh day
after the day on which the said notice was given to Euroclear and/or Clearstream,
Luxembourg.
Notices to be given by any Noteholder
shall be in writing and given by lodging the same, together (in the case
of any Note in definitive form) with the relative Note or Notes, with the
Agent. Whilst any of the Notes is represented by a Global Note, such notice
may be given by any holder of a Note to the Agent through Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner as the Agent
and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, may approve
for this purpose.

Enforcement
and Rights of Third Parties |
|
At any time after the Notes shall
have become immediately due and repayable the Trustee may, at its discretion
and without further notice, take such proceedings against any relevant
Obligor as it may think fit to enforce repayment thereof together with
accrued interest (if any) and any other moneys payable pursuant to the
provisions of the Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons,
but it shall not be bound to take any such proceedings or any other action
in relation to the Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons
unless (i) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution
of the Noteholders or so requested in writing by the holders of at least
one-quarter in nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and (ii)
it shall have been indemnified to its satisfaction. |
|
No Noteholder, Receiptholder
or Couponholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against any Obligor
unless the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed, fails so to do
within a reasonable period and such failure is continuing. No rights
are conferred on any person under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties)
Xxx 0000 to enforce any term of this Note, but this does not affect any
right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from
that Act. |

of this Global Note for a Permanent Global Note, details of such exchange
shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two to the Permanent

exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer.
Until the exchange of the whole of

benefits as if he were the bearer of Definitive Notes and the relative Receipts,
Coupons and/or Talons (if any) in the form(s) set out in Parts III, IV, V
and VI (as applicable) of the Second Schedule to the Trust Deed.
Each person (other than Euroclear

amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note (in which regard any
certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg

6. |
If within 15 minutes (or such
longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after
the time appointed for any such meeting a quorum is not present for the
transaction of any particular business, then, subject and without prejudice
to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present,
the meeting shall if convened upon the requisition of Noteholders be
dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day
in the next week (or if such day is a public holiday the next succeeding
business day) at the same time and place (except in the case of a meeting
at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be proposed in which case
it shall stand adjourned for such period, being not less than 13 clear
days nor more than 42 clear days, and to such place as may be appointed
by the Chairman either at or subsequent to such meeting and approved
by the Trustee). If within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding
30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after the time appointed for any
adjourned meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any
particular business, then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction
of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the Chairman
may either (with the approval of the Trustee) dissolve such meeting or
adjourn the same for such period, being not less than 13 clear days (but
without any maximum number of clear days), and to such place as may be
appointed by the Chairman either at or subsequent to such adjourned meeting
and approved by the Trustee, and the provisions of this sentence shall
apply to all further adjourned such meetings. At any adjourned meeting
one or more persons present holding Definitive Notes of the relevant
one or more Series or voting certificates or being proxies (whatever
the nominal amount of the Notes so held or represented by them) shall
(subject as provided below) form a quorum and shall have power to pass
any resolution and to decide upon all matters which could properly have
been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place
had the requisite quorum been present PROVIDED THAT at any adjourned
meeting the quorum for the transaction of business comprising any of
the matters specified in the proviso to paragraph 5 above shall be one
or more persons present holding Definitive Notes or voting certificates
or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less
than one-third of the nominal amount of the Notes for the time being
outstanding. |
|
|
7. |
Notice of any adjourned meeting
at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be submitted shall be given
in the same manner as notice of an original meeting but as if 10 were |
92
Back to Contents
|
substituted for 21 in paragraph
3 above and such notice shall state the required quorum. Subject as aforesaid
it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting. |
|
|
8. |
Every question submitted to
a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and
in case of equality of votes the Chairman shall both on a show of hands
and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if
any) to which he may be entitled as a Noteholder or as a holder of a
voting certificate or as a proxy. |
|
|
9. |
At any meeting unless a poll
is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands)
demanded by the Chairman, any of the relevant Obligors, the Trustee or
any person present holding a Definitive Note of the relevant Series or
a voting certificate or being a proxy (whatever the nominal amount of
the Notes so held or represented by him) a declaration by the Chairman
that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority
or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence
of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded
in favour of or against such resolution. |
|
|
10. |
Subject to paragraph 12 below,
if at any such meeting a poll is so demanded it shall be taken in such
manner and subject as hereinafter provided either at once or after an
adjournment as the Chairman directs and the result of such poll shall
be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded
as at the date of the taking of the poll. The demand for a poll shall
not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any
business other than the motion on which the poll has been demanded. |
|
|
11. |
The Chairman may with the
consent of (and shall if directed by) any such meeting adjourn the same
from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted
at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully (but for
lack of required quorum) have been transacted at the meeting from which
the adjournment took place. |
|
|
12. |
Any poll demanded at any such
meeting on the election of a Chairman or on any question of adjournment
shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment. |
|
|
13. |
The Trustee and its lawyers
and any director, officer or employee of a corporation being a trustee
of these presents and any director or officer of the relevant Issuer
or, as the case may be, Cadbury Schweppes (where the relevant Issuer
is CSF or CSI) or, as the case may be, CSF (where the relevant Issuer
is CSI) or, as the case may be, CSI (where the relevant Issuer is CSF)
and its or their lawyers and any other person authorised so to do by
the Trustee may attend and speak at any meeting. Save as aforesaid, but
without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of "outstanding" in
Clause 1, no person shall be entitled to attend and speak nor shall any
person be entitled to vote at any meeting of Noteholders or join with
others in requesting the convening of such a meeting or to exercise the
rights conferred on Noteholders by Condition 10 unless he either produces
the Definitive Note or Definitive Notes of which he is the holder or
a voting certificate or is a proxy. No person shall be entitled to vote
at any meeting in respect of Notes held by, for the benefit of, or on
behalf of, any of the relevant Obligors or any Holding Company or other
Subsidiary of any of the relevant Obligors. Nothing herein shall prevent
any of the proxies named in any block voting instruction from being a
director, officer or representative of or otherwise connected with any
of the relevant Obligors. |
14. Subject
as provided in paragraph 13 hereof at any meeting:
|
(A) |
on a show of hands every person
who is present in person and produces a Definitive Note or voting certificate
or is a proxy shall have one vote; and |
|
|
|
|
(B) |
on a poll every person who
is so present shall have one vote in respect of each £1.00 or such
other pounds sterling amount as the Trustee may in its absolute discretion |
93
Back to Contents
|
|
stipulate (or, in the case of
meetings of holders of Notes denominated in another currency, such amount
in such other currency as the Trustee in its absolute discretion may
stipulate) in nominal amount of the Definitive Notes so produced or represented
by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a
proxy. |
|
|
|
Without prejudice to the obligations
of the proxies named in any block voting instruction any person entitled
to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes
to which he is entitled in the same way. |
15. |
The proxies named in any block
voting instruction need not be Noteholders. |
|
|
16. |
Each block voting instruction
together (if so requested by the Trustee) with proof satisfactory to
the Trustee of its due execution on behalf of the relevant Paying Agent
shall be deposited by the relevant Paying Agent at such place as the
Trustee shall approve not less than 24 hours before the time appointed
for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the proxies named
in the block voting instruction propose to vote and in default the block
voting instruction shall not be treated as valid unless the Chairman
of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting or adjourned meeting
proceeds to business. A notarially certified copy of each block voting
instruction shall be deposited with the Trustee before the commencement
of the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Trustee shall not thereby
be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the
authority of the proxies named in any such block voting instruction. |
|
|
17. |
Any vote given in accordance
with the terms of a block voting instruction shall be valid notwithstanding
the previous revocation or amendment of the block voting instruction
or of any of the relevant Noteholders' instructions pursuant to which
it was executed provided that no intimation in writing of such revocation
or amendment shall have been received from the relevant Paying Agent
by the relevant Issuer at its registered office (or such other place
as may have been required or approved by the Trustee for the purpose)
by the time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the
meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction is
to be used. |
|
|
18. |

|
|
19. |
Any resolution passed at a
meeting of the Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with
these presents shall be binding upon all the Noteholders whether present
or not present at such meeting and whether or not voting and upon all
Receiptholders and Couponholders and each of them shall be bound to give
effect thereto accordingly and the passing of any such resolution shall
be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify the passing thereof.
Notice of the result of the voting on any resolution duly considered

Minutes of all resolutions
and proceedings at every meeting of the Noteholders shall be made and
entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by
the relevant Issuer and any such minutes as aforesaid if purporting to
be signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were
passed or proceedings transacted shall be conclusive evidence of the
matters therein contained and until the contrary is proved every such
meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made
shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions
passed or proceedings transacted thereat to have been duly passed or
transacted. |

holders of the Notes of that Series; |
95
Back to Contents

|
(ii) |
a resolution which in the
opinion of the Trustee affects the Notes of more than one Series but

if passed at a single meeting of the holders of the Notes of all the
Series so affected; |
|
|
|
|

of the Notes of another Series or group of Series so affected shall be
deemed to have been duly passed only if passed at separate meetings of
the holders of the Notes of each Series or group of Series so affected;
and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
to all such meetings all the
preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply
as though references therein to Notes and Noteholders were references
to the Notes of the Series or group of Series in question or to the holders
of such Notes, as the case may be. |
|
|
|
|
(B) |
If the relevant Issuer shall
have issued and have outstanding Notes which are not denominated in pounds
sterling in the case of any meeting of holders of Notes of more than
one currency the nominal amount of such Notes shall (i) for the purposes
of paragraph 2 above be the equivalent in pounds sterling at the spot
rate of a bank nominated by the Trustee for the conversion of the relevant
currency or currencies into pounds sterling on the seventh dealing day
