3	Guarantee and Indemnity

3.1

Guarantee

Each Guarantor (jointly and severally with the other Guarantors) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Trustee that if the Issuer does not pay any sum payable by it under this Trust Deed or the Notes by the time and on the date specified for such payment (whether on the normal due date, on acceleration or otherwise) such Guarantor will pay that sum to or to the order of the Trustee, in the manner provided in Clause 2.2 (or if in respect of sums due under Clause 10, in London in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds) before close of business on that date in the city to which payment or delivery is so to be made. Clause 2.2 will apply (with consequential amendments as necessary) to such payments other than those in respect of sums due under Clause 10.

3.2

Guarantors as Principal Debtors

As between each Guarantor and the Trustee and the Noteholders but without affecting the Issuer’s obligations, each Guarantor will be liable under this Clause as if it were the sole or principal debtor. Accordingly, it will not be discharged, nor will its liability be affected, by anything which would not discharge it or affect its liability if it were the sole or principal debtor (including (1) any time, waiver or consent at any time given to the Issuer or any other person, (2) any amendment to any other provisions of this Trust Deed or to the Conditions, (3) the making or absence of any demand on the Issuer or any other person for payment, (4) the enforcement or absence of enforcement of this Trust Deed or the Notes, (5) the taking, existence or release of any security, guarantee or indemnity, (6) the dissolution, amalgamation, reconstruction or reorganisation of the Issuer or any other person or (7) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of or any defect in any provision of this Trust Deed or the Notes or any of the Issuer’s obligations under any of them).

3.3

Guarantors’ Obligations Continuing

Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Trust Deed are and will remain in full force and effect by way of continuing security until no sum remains payable under this Trust Deed or the Notes. Furthermore, these obligations of each Guarantor are additional to, and not instead of, any security or other guarantee or indemnity at any time existing in favour of any person, whether from such Guarantor or otherwise and may be enforced without first having recourse to the Issuer, any other person, any security or any other guarantee or indemnity. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives all notices and demands of any kind.

3.4

Exercise of Guarantors’ Rights

So long as any sum remains payable under this Trust Deed or the Notes:

3.4.1

any right of any Guarantor, by reason of the performance of any of its obligations under this Clause, to be indemnified by the Issuer or to take the benefit of or to enforce any security or other guarantee or indemnity, will be exercised and enforced by such Guarantor only in such manner and on such terms as the Trustee may require or approve; and

3.4.2

any amount received or recovered by such Guarantor (a) as a result of any exercise of any such right or (b) in the dissolution, amalgamation, reconstruction or reorganisation of the Issuer will be held on trust for the Trustee and immediately paid to the Trustee and the Trustee will hold it on the trusts set out in Clause 7.1.

3.5

Suspense Accounts

Any amount received or recovered by the Trustee (otherwise than as a result of a payment by the Issuer to the Trustee in accordance with Clause 2 or any Guarantor to the Trustee in accordance with Clause 3) in respect of any sum payable by the Issuer under this Trust Deed or the Notes may be placed in a suspense account and kept there for so long as the Trustee thinks fit.

3.6

Avoidance of Payments

Each Guarantor shall on demand indemnify the Trustee and each Noteholder against any cost, loss, expense or liability sustained or incurred by it as a result of it being required for any reason (including any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up, dissolution, or similar law of any jurisdiction) to refund all or part of any amount received or recovered by it in respect of any sum payable by the Issuer or, as the case may be, any Guarantor under this Trust Deed or any Note and shall in any event pay to it on demand (and shall make the relevant payment, within five business days in the jurisdiction of incorporation of such Guarantor, of such demand) the amount as refunded by it.

3.7

Debts of Issuer

If any moneys become payable by any Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Issuer will not (except in the event of the liquidation of the Issuer) so long as any such moneys remain unpaid, pay any moneys for the time being due from the Issuer to any Guarantor.

3.8

Indemnity

As separate, independent and primary obligations, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees (1) that any sum which, although expressed to be payable by the Issuer under this Trust Deed or the Notes, is for any reason (whether or not now existing and whether or not now known or becoming known to the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any Noteholder) not recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee will nevertheless be recoverable from it as if it were the sole or principal debtor and will be paid by it to the Trustee on demand and (2) as a primary obligation to indemnify and keep indemnified the Trustee and each Noteholder against any loss suffered by it as a result of any sum expressed to be payable by the Issuer under this Trust Deed or the Notes not being paid on the date and otherwise in the manner specified in this Trust Deed or any payment obligation of the Issuer under this Trust Deed or the Notes being or becoming void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason (whether or not now existing and whether or not now known or becoming known to the Trustee or any Noteholder), the amount of that loss being the amount expressed to be payable and not paid by the Issuer in respect of the relevant sum.

The Unrestricted Global Note will be issued in the name of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or its nominee and the Restricted Global Note will be issued in the name of Cede & Co. or another nominee of DTC.

4.5

Title

The Issuer (failing whom the Guarantors) will also indemnify the Trustee and the Noteholders from and against all stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other taxes paid by any of them in any jurisdiction in relation to which the liability to pay arises directly as a result of any action taken by or on behalf of the Trustee or, as the case may be, (where entitled under Condition 15 to do so) the Noteholders to enforce the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Trust Deed, the Paying and Transfer Agency Agreement or the Notes.

Any Further Notes that form a single series with the Notes will be issued with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount, or as part of a qualified re-opening (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-2(k)(3)), in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If the amount of the moneys at any time available for payment in respect of the Notes under Clause 7.1 is less than 10% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee may, at its discretion, invest such moneys. The Trustee may retain such investments and accumulate the resulting income until the investments and the accumulations, together with any other funds for the time being under the control of the Trustee and available for such payment, amount to at least 10% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and then such investments, accumulations and funds (after deduction of, or provision for, any applicable taxes) will be applied as specified in Clause 7.1.

7.3

Investment

Any moneys which under this Trust Deed 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 a trustee of trust moneys or in any other investments, whether or not similar thereto, which may be selected by the Trustee or by placing 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, in its absolute discretion, think fit. If that bank is the Trustee or an associated company of the Trustee it shall not be liable to account for interest at a rate greater than that payable by it to a standard customer on a deposit of the type made. The Trustee may at any time vary or transpose any such investments for or into other such investments or convert any moneys so deposited into any other currency, and will not be responsible for any loss occasioned thereby, whether by depreciation in value, fluctuation in exchange rates or otherwise.

10	Remuneration and Indemnification of the Trustee

10.1

Normal Remuneration

So long as any Note is outstanding, the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors, will pay to the Trustee by way of remuneration for its services as trustee such sum as may from time to time be agreed between them. Such remuneration will accrue from day to day from the date of this Trust Deed and shall be payable on such dates as may be agreed between the Issuer, the Guarantors, and the Trustee.

10.2

Extra Remuneration

At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default, the Issuer hereby agrees that the Trustee should be entitled to be paid additional remuneration calculated at its normal hourly rates in force from time to time. In any other case, if the Trustee finds it expedient in the interests of Noteholders or necessary, or is requested by the Issuer, to undertake duties which the Trustee considers to be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under this Trust Deed, the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors, will pay such additional remuneration as may be agreed between them (and which may be calculated by reference to the Trustee’s normal hourly rates in force from time to time) or, failing agreement as to any of the matters in this Clause (or as to such sums referred to in Clause 10.1), as determined by an independent investment bank or securities firm of international repute in London or person (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Trustee and approved by the Issuer and the Guarantors or, failing such approval, nominated by the President for the time being of The Law Society of England and Wales, the expenses involved in such selection and approval and the fee of such independent investment bank or securities firm or person being borne by the Issuer. The determination of such independent investment bank or securities firm or person will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Noteholders.

10.3

Payment and Default Interest

All amounts payable pursuant to Clauses 10.1 and 10.2 shall be payable (in priority to payments to Noteholders) by the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors, on such dates as may be agreed between the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, and shall carry interest at the rate of 2% per annum above the base rate from time to time of National Westminster Bank PLC from the due date therefor.

10.4

Expenses

The Issuer or, failing whom, the Guarantors will also pay or discharge all duly documented costs, charges, liabilities and expenses properly incurred by the Trustee in relation to the preparation and execution of this Trust Deed and the carrying out of its functions under this Trust Deed including, but not limited to, legal and reasonable travelling expenses and any capital, stamp, registration, documentary or other taxes or duties properly paid by the Trustee in connection with any legal proceedings brought or contemplated by the Trustee against the Issuer or any Guarantor for enforcing any obligation under this Trust Deed, the Paying and Transfer Agency Agreement, or the Notes.

10.5

Payment of Expenses

All such costs, charges, liabilities and expenses incurred and payments made by the Trustee will be payable or reimbursable by the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors within 14 days of demand by the Trustee and:

10.5.1

in the case of payments made by the Trustee prior to such demand will (if not paid within seven days of such demand) carry interest from the date on which the demand is made at the rate of 2% per annum over the base rate of National Westminster Bank PLC on the date on which such payments were made by the Trustee and

10.5.2

in all other cases (if not paid on the date specified in such demand or, if later, within 14 days of such demand) carry interest at such rate from the date on which the demand is made.

10.6

Indemnity

The Issuer and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee in respect of all liabilities and expenses paid or properly incurred by it in the fulfilment of its obligations under this Trust Deed or by anyone appointed by it or to whom any of its functions may be delegated by it in the carrying out of its functions in the fulfilment of its obligations under this Trust Deed and against any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand or expense (including, but not limited to, all costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in disputing or defending any of the foregoing) which any of them may incur or which may be made against any of them arising out of or in relation to or in connection with, its appointment or the exercise of its functions.

10.7

Provisions Continuing

The provisions of Clauses 10.3, 10.5 and 10.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the terms of this Trust Deed and will continue in full force and effect in relation to the Trustee even if it may have ceased to be Trustee in relation to claims which arose during the period of its appointment as Trustee.

11	Provisions Supplemental to The Trustee Act 1925 and the Trustee Act 2000

Certificate Signed by Directors

Custodians/Nominees

The Trustee may appoint and pay any person to act as a custodian or nominee on any terms in relation to such assets of the trusts constituted by this Trust Deed as the Trustee may determine, including for the purposes of depositing with a custodian this Trust Deed or any document relating to the trusts constituted by this Trust Deed; the Trustee is not obliged to appoint a custodian if the Trustee invests in securities payable to bearer.

11.7

Discretion of Trustee

Save as expressly provided in this Trust Deed, the Trustee will have absolute and uncontrolled discretion as to the exercise of its functions hereby vested in the Trustee and will not be responsible for the exercise or non-exercise thereof nor for any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand, expenses or inconvenience which may result from their exercise or non-exercise, but, whenever the Trustee is under the provisions of this Trust Deed or the Notes bound to act at the request or direction of the Noteholders, the Trustee shall nevertheless not be so bound unless first indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction against all actions, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may render itself liable and all costs, charges, damages, expenses and liabilities which it may incur by so doing.

11.8

17	Appointment, Retirement and Removal of the Trustee

17.1

Appointment

The Issuer will have the power of appointing new trustees but no person will be so appointed unless previously approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of Noteholders. A trust corporation will at all times be a Trustee and may be the sole trustee. Any appointment of a new trustee will be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with Condition 17.

17.2

Retirement and Removal

Any Trustee may retire at any time on giving not less than three months’ prior notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantors without giving any reason and without being responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement and the Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution remove any Trustee provided that the retirement or removal of any sole trustee or sole trust corporation will not become effective until a trust corporation is appointed as successor Trustee. If a sole trustee or sole trust corporation gives notice of retirement or an Extraordinary Resolution is passed for its removal under this Clause, the Issuer or, failing whom, the Guarantors will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that another trust corporation be appointed as Trustee, but if the Issuer and the Guarantors have failed to do so within three months of such notice being given or since the date of such Extraordinary Resolution, the Trustee may exercise the power of appointing a successor trustee.

17.3

Co-Trustees

The Trustee may, notwithstanding Clause 17.1, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantors appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a trust corporation or not) to act as an additional Trustee jointly with the Trustee:

17.3.1

if the Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders;

17.3.2

for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or

17.3.3

for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Guarantor of either a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of this Trust Deed.

Subject to the provisions of this Trust Deed the Trustee may confer on any person so appointed such functions as it thinks fit. The Trustee may by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Guarantors and such person remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors will do all things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each of them irrevocably appoints the Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to do so. Such a person shall (subject always to the provisions of this Trust Deed) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Trustee hereby) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. Before appointing such person to act as a co-Trustee, the Trustee shall (unless it is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably practicable to do so) give notice to the Issuer of its intention to make such appointment (and the reason therefore).

17.4

Competence of a Majority of Trustees

If there are more than two Trustees the majority of such Trustees will (provided such majority includes a trust corporation) be competent to carry out all or any of the Trustee’s functions.

Jurisdiction

The courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Trust Deed (including in relation to a dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Trust Deed) and the Notes and accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Trust Deed or the Notes (whether contractual or non-contractual) (“Proceedings”) may be brought in the courts of England. The Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objections to Proceedings in such courts on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. This submission is for the benefit of each of the Trustee and the Noteholders and shall not limit the right of any of them to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not).

19.3

Service of Process

The Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably appoints Hackwood Secretaries Limited, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings in England. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to such process agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be). If for any reason such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or no longer has an address in England, the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably agrees to appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Trustee and shall immediately notify the Trustee of such appointment. Nothing shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

20	Counterparts

This Trust Deed and any trust deed supplemental hereto may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same deed and any part to this Trust Deed or any trust deed supplemental hereto may enter into the same by executing and delivering a counterpart.

Other than in respect of Clause 9.13, a person who is not a party to this Trust Deed has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Trust Deed. The parties to this Trust Deed shall have the right to amend, vary or rescind any provision of this Trust Deed without the consent of any such third party.

In witness whereof this Trust Deed has been executed and delivered as a deed on the date stated at the beginning.

Schedule 3

Provisions for meetings of Noteholders

1.1

A holder of a Note in registered form may by an instrument in writing in the form available from any Agent in English (a “form of proxy”) signed by the holder or, in the case of a corporation, executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an attorney or a duly authorised officer of the corporation and delivered to any Paying and Transfer Agent not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for any meeting, appoint one or more named persons (each, a “proxy”) to act on his or its behalf in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Noteholders.

1.2

A holder of a Note in registered form which is a corporation may, by delivering to any Paying and Transfer Agent not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for any meeting a resolution in English of its directors or other governing body, authorise any person to act as its representative (a “representative”) in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Noteholders.

1.3

A proxy or representative or sub-proxy appointed under paragraph 1.4 so appointed shall so long as such appointment remains in force be deemed, for all purposes in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Noteholders specified in such appointment, to be the holder of the Notes to which such appointment relates and the holder of the Notes shall be deemed for such purposes not to be the holder.

1.4

If the holder of a Note is DTC or a nominee of DTC, such nominee or DTC may appoint proxies in accordance with and in the form used by DTC as part of its usual procedures from time to time in relation to meetings of Noteholders. Any proxy so appointed may by an instrument in writing in the form in the English language available from the specified office of the Principal Paying and Transfer Agent, or in such other form as approved by the Trustee, signed by the proxy or, in the case of a corporation, executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an attorney or a duly authorised officer of the corporation and delivered to the Principal Paying and Transfer Agent not later than 24 hours before the time fixed for any meeting or communicated to the Principal Paying and Transfer Agent by electronic means in accordance with its usual procedures appoint any person (the “sub-proxy”) to act on his or its behalf in connection with any meeting or proposed meeting of Noteholders provided that any such appointment certifies that no other person has been appointed as a sub-proxy in respect of the relevant Notes and that no voting instruction has been given in relation to those Notes. All references to “proxy” or “proxies” in this Schedule other than in this paragraph shall be read so as to include references to “sub-proxy” or “sub-proxies”.

1.5

For so long as the Notes are eligible for settlement through DTC’s book-entry settlement system, the Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of any meeting, provided such record date is no more than 10 days prior to the date fixed for such meeting. The person in whose name a Note is registered on the record date shall be the holder for the purposes of the relevant meeting.

The Issuer, each Guarantor and the Trustee at any time may, and the Trustee (subject to its being indemnified to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses thereby occasioned) upon a request in writing of Noteholders holding not less than one-tenth in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding shall, convene a meeting of Noteholders. Whenever any such party is about to convene any such meeting it shall forthwith give notice in writing to each other party of the day, time and place of the meeting and of the nature of the business to be transacted at it. Every such meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Trustee may approve.

At least 21 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day on which the meeting is held) specifying the day, time and place of meeting shall be given to the Noteholders. A copy of the notice shall in all cases be given by the party convening the meeting to each of the other parties. Such notice shall also specify, unless in any particular case the Trustee otherwise agrees, the nature of the resolutions to be proposed.

A meeting that has been validly convened in accordance with paragraph 2 above, may be cancelled by the person who convened such meeting by giving at least 5 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given or deemed to be given and of the day of the meeting) to the Noteholders (with a copy to the Trustee where such meeting was convened by the Issuer or the Guarantors or to the Issuer and Guarantors where such meeting was convened by the Trustee). Any meeting cancelled in accordance with this paragraph 4 shall be deemed not to have been convened.

A person (who may, but need not, be a Noteholder) nominated in writing by the Trustee may take the chair at every such meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the person nominated shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Noteholders present shall choose one of their number to be chairman, failing which the Issuer may appoint a chairman. The chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as was chairman of the original meeting.

At any such meeting any two or more persons present in person holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-tenth in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject as provided below) be two or more persons present in person holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding provided that at any meeting the business of which includes any of the matters specified in the proviso to paragraph 17 the quorum shall be two or more persons present in person holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.

If within 45 minutes from the time fixed for any such meeting a quorum is not present the meeting shall, if convened upon the requisition of Noteholders, be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned (unless the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee agree that it be dissolved) for such period, not being less than 14 days nor more than 42 days, and to such place, as may be decided by the chairman. At such adjourned meeting two or more persons present in person holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives (whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented) shall form a quorum and may pass any resolution and decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such meeting provided that at any adjourned meeting at which is to be proposed an Extraordinary Resolution for the purpose of effecting any of the modifications specified in the proviso to paragraph 17 the quorum shall be two or more persons so present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-third in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.

The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any meeting adjourn such meeting from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

At least 10 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given or deemed to be given and of the day of the adjourned meeting) of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given in the same manner as for an original meeting and such notice shall state the quorum required at such adjourned meeting. It shall not, however, otherwise be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

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) which he may have as a Noteholder or as a holder of a voting certificate or as a proxy or representative.

At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman, the Issuer, any Guarantors, the Trustee or by one or more persons holding one or more Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-fiftieth in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by any 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.

If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided below) either at once or after such 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 continuation of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.

13	Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a chairman or on any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.

14	The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (through their respective representatives) and their respective financial and legal advisers may attend and speak at any meeting of Noteholders.

No one else may attend at any meeting of Noteholders or join with others in requesting the convening of such a meeting unless he is the holder of a Note or a voting certificate or is a proxy or a representative.

At any meeting on a show of hands every person who is present in person and who produces a Note or voting certificate or is a proxy or a representative shall have one vote and on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each U.S.$1.00 (or, in the case of meetings of holders of Notes denominated in another currency, as the Trustee in its absolute discretion may decide) in principal amount of the Notes so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a proxy or a representative. Without prejudice to the obligations of 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.

16	The proxy need not be a Noteholder.

17	A meeting of Noteholders shall, subject to the Conditions, in addition to the powers given above, but without prejudice to any powers conferred on other persons by this Trust Deed, have power exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution:

17.1

to sanction any proposal by the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee for any modification, abrogation, variation or compromise of, or arrangement in respect of, the rights of the Noteholders against the Issuer or any Guarantor or against any of its property whether such rights shall arise under this Trust Deed or otherwise;

17.2

to sanction any scheme or proposal for the exchange, substitution or sale of the Notes for, or the cancellation of the Notes in consideration of, shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any other body corporate formed or to be formed, or for or into or in consideration of cash, or partly for or into or in consideration of such shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities as aforesaid and partly for or into or in consideration of cash;

17.3

to assent to any modification of this Trust Deed or the Conditions that relate to the rights appertaining to the Notes which shall be proposed by the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee;

17.4

to authorise anyone to concur in and do all such things as may be necessary to carry out and to give any authority, direction or sanction which under this Trust Deed or the Notes is required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution;

17.5

to appoint any persons (whether Noteholders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the interests of the Noteholders and to confer upon such committee or committees any powers or discretions which the Noteholders could themselves exercise by Extraordinary Resolution;

17.6

to approve a person proposed to be appointed as a new Trustee and to remove any Trustee;

17.7

to approve the substitution of any entity for the Issuer (or any previous substitute) as principal debtor under this Trust Deed; and

17.8

to discharge or exonerate the Trustee from any liability in respect of any act or omission for which it may become responsible under this Trust Deed or the Notes;

provided that the special quorum provisions contained in the proviso to paragraph 6 and, in the case of an adjourned meeting, in the proviso to paragraph 7 shall apply in relation to any Extraordinary Resolution for the purpose of paragraph 17.2 or 17.7 or for the purpose of making any modification to the provisions contained in this Trust Deed or the Notes which would have the effect of:

17.8.1

modifying the maturity of the Notes or the dates on which interest is payable in respect of the Notes;

17.8.2

reducing or cancelling the principal amount, or interest on, the Notes;

17.8.3

changing the currency of any payment in respect of the Notes;

17.8.4

modifying the provisions contained in this Schedule concerning the quorum required at any meeting of Noteholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution;

17.8.5

amending the terms of the Guarantees; or

17.8.6

amending this proviso.

An Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with this Trust Deed shall be binding upon all the Noteholders, whether or not present at such meeting and whether or not they vote in favour, and each of the Noteholders shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing of any such resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances of such resolution justify the passing of it.

19	The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” means a resolution passed (a) at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with these provisions by a majority consisting of not less than three-quarters of the votes cast (b) by a Written Resolution or (c) by an Electronic Consent.

Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every such meeting shall be made and entered in the books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee and any such minutes, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings transacted or by the chairman of the next succeeding meeting of Noteholders, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters contained in them and until the contrary is proved every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been so made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.

A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than three-quarters in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of a meeting (a “Written Resolution”) shall for all purposes be as valid as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders convened and held in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Deed. Such resolution in writing may be in one document or several documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the Noteholders.

For so long as the Notes are in the form of a Global Note held on behalf of one or more of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg, DTC or an alternative clearing system, then, in respect of any resolution proposed by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee:

21.1

Electronic Consent: where the terms of the resolution proposed by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee (as the case may be) have been notified to the Noteholders through the relevant clearing system(s) as provided in sub-paragraphs (i) and/or (ii) below, each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon approval of such resolution given by way of electronic consents communicated through the electronic communications systems of the relevant clearing system(s) to the Paying and Transfer Agent or another specified agent and/or the Trustee in accordance with their operating rules and procedures by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 75% in nominal amount of the Notes outstanding (the “Required Proportion”) (“Electronic Consent”) by close of business on the Relevant Date. Any resolution passed in such manner shall be binding on all Noteholders, even if the relevant consent or instruction proves to be defective. None of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall be liable or responsible to anyone for such reliance;

(i)

When a proposal for a resolution to be passed as an Electronic Consent has been made, at least 10 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day on which affirmative consents will be counted) shall be given to the Noteholders through the relevant clearing system(s). The notice shall specify, in sufficient detail to enable Noteholders to give their consents in relation to the proposed resolution, the method by which their consents may be given (including, where applicable, blocking of their accounts in the relevant clearing system(s)) and the time and date (the “Relevant Date”) by which they must be received in order for such consents to be validly given, in each case subject to and in accordance with the operating rules and procedures of the relevant clearing system(s).

(i)

If, on the Relevant Date on which the consents in respect of an Electronic Consent are first counted, such consents do not represent the Required Proportion, the resolution shall, if the party proposing such resolution (the “Proposer”) so determines, be deemed to be defeated. Such determination shall be notified in writing to the other party or parties to the Trust Deed. Alternatively, the Proposer may give a further notice to Noteholders that the resolution will be proposed again on such date and for such period as shall be agreed with the Trustee (unless the Trustee is the Proposer). Such notice must inform Noteholders that insufficient consents were received in relation to the original resolution and the information specified in sub-paragraph (i) above. For the purpose of such further notice, references to “Relevant Date” shall be construed accordingly.

For the avoidance of doubt, an Electronic Consent may only be used in relation to a resolution proposed by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee which is not then the subject of a meeting that has been validly convened in accordance with paragraph 2 above, unless that meeting is or shall be cancelled or dissolved; and

21.2

Written Resolution: where Electronic Consent is not being sought, for the purpose of determining whether a Written Resolution has been validly passed, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on consent or instructions given in writing directly to the Issuer, the Guarantors and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, (a) by accountholders in the clearing system(s) with entitlements to such Global Note and/or, (b) where the accountholders hold any such entitlement on behalf of another person, on written consent from or written instruction by the person identified by that accountholder as the person for whom such entitlement is held. For the purpose of establishing the entitlement to give any such consent or instruction, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any certificate or other document issued by, in the case of (a) above, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg, DTC or any other relevant alternative clearing system (the “relevant clearing system”) and, in the case of (b) above, the relevant clearing system and the accountholder identified by the relevant clearing system for the purposes of (b) above. Any resolution passed in such manner shall be binding on all Noteholders, even if the relevant consent or instruction proves to be defective. Any such certificate or other document shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Any such certificate or other document may comprise any form of statement or print out of electronic records provided by the relevant clearing system (including Euroclear’s EUCLID or Clearstream, Luxembourg’s CreationOnline system) in accordance with its usual procedures and in which the accountholder of a particular principal or nominal amount of the Notes is clearly identified together with the amount of such holding. None of the Issuer, the Guarantors nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person by reason of having accepted as valid or not having rejected any certificate or other document to such effect purporting to be issued by any such person and subsequently found to be forged or not authentic.

22	A Written Resolution or Electronic Consent shall take effect as an Extraordinary Resolution. A Written Resolution and/or Electronic Consent will be binding on all Noteholders, whether or not they participated in such Written Resolution and/or Electronic Consent.

Subject to all other provisions contained in this Trust Deed the Trustee may without the consent of the Noteholders prescribe such further regulations regarding the holding of meetings of Noteholders and attendance and voting at them as the Trustee may in its sole discretion determine including particularly (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) such regulations and requirements as the Trustee thinks reasonable so as to satisfy itself that persons who purport to requisition a meeting in accordance with paragraph 2 or who purport to make any requisition to the Trustee in accordance with this Trust Deed are in fact entitled to do so.

24	If and whenever the Issuer shall have issued more than one series of Notes, the foregoing provisions of this Schedule shall have effect subject to the following modifications:

24.1

a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects one series only of the Notes shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Notes of that series;

24.2

a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects more than one series of the Notes but does not give rise to a conflict of interest between the holders of Notes of any of the series so affected shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a single meeting of the holders of the Notes of all the series so affected;

24.3

a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects more than one series of the Notes and gives or may give rise to a conflict of interest between the holders of the Notes of any of the series so affected shall be deemed to have been duly passed only if it shall be duly passed at separate meetings of the holders of the Notes of each series so affected; and

24.4

to all such meetings as aforesaid all the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply as though references therein to Notes and holders were references to the Notes of the series or group of series in question and to the holders of such Notes respectively.

24.5

If the Issuer shall have issued and have outstanding (a) Notes which are not denominated in United States dollars or (b) more than one series of Notes denominated in United States dollars but in differing denominations, the following provisions shall apply.

(i) At any time prior to 15 April 2024, on giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part on the date specified in such notice (the “Optional Make-Whole Redemption Date”) at the Make-Whole Amount together with accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Optional Make-Whole Redemption Date.

(ii) At any time on or after 15 April 2024, on giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, on the date specified in such notice (the “Par Call Date”) at 100 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Par Call Date.

(c)

Redemption for Taxation Reasons

The Notes may be redeemed in whole but not in part for a redemption price equal to 100 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Amounts) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (the “Tax Redemption Date”), at the option of the Issuer, upon giving not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice (a “Tax Redemption Notice”) to the Trustee and to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17, if the Issuer determines that as a result of (i) any change in or amendment to the laws, or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction, as defined below, or (ii) any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of the laws, regulations or rulings referred to above (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Pricing Date (or, in the case that a successor entity has assumed the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor, after the date of such assumption), the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes pursuant to Condition 8; provided such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, taking reasonable measures available to it (including, in the case of a Guarantor, if a Guarantor could provide funds to the Issuer and the Issuer could make payment without Additional Amounts, or if payment could be made by another Guarantor without payment of Additional Amounts).

No such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.

Prior to giving the notice of the redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Trustee (a) a certificate signed by two duly authorised officers of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (b) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognised standing with respect to such matters to that effect based on the statement of facts. The Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the circumstances referred to in (i) and (ii) above, in which event they shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Notes.

The term “Relevant Jurisdiction” as used herein means the British Virgin Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of South Africa or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, as the case may be, or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor (including any successor entity) is resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

(d)

Optional Redemption and Tax Redemption Notices

Any notice provided by the Issuer under Condition 6(b) and any Tax Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

(e)

Redemption at the Option of Noteholders

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Condition 6(b) or Condition 6(c) above in full, the holder of each Note will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem that Note on the Change of Control Repurchase Event Put Date at 101 per cent. of its principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) (including Additional Amounts) to, but excluding, such date. To exercise such right, the holder of the relevant Note must deliver such Note to the specified office of any Paying and Transfer Agent, together with a duly completed and signed notice of exercise in the form for the time being currently obtainable from the specified office of any Paying and Transfer Agent (a “Change of Control Put Exercise Notice”), at any time during the Change of Control Repurchase Event Period. The “Change of Control Repurchase Event Put Date” shall be the fourteenth calendar day after the expiry of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Period.

Following the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Issuer shall give notice or procure that notice is given to the Trustee and the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17 (a “Change of Control Repurchase Event Notice”) within 14 days of the first day on which it becomes so aware. Such notice shall contain a statement informing Noteholders of their entitlement to exercise their rights to require redemption of their Notes pursuant to this Condition 6(e). Such notice shall also specify:

(i)

the last day of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Period; and

(ii)

the Change of Control Repurchase Event Put Date;

The Change of Control Repurchase Event Notice, if given prior to the date of occurrence of the Change of Control, will state that the offer is conditioned on the occurrence of the Change of Control on or prior to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Put Date.

Payment in respect of any such Note shall be made by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained with a bank in New York City as specified by the relevant Noteholder in the Change of Control Put Exercise Notice.

A Change of Control Put Exercise Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable and the Issuer shall redeem all Notes the subject of Change of Control Put Exercise Notices delivered as aforesaid on the Change of Control Repurchase Event Put Date.

The Issuer will not be required to give a Change of Control Repurchase Event Notice if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such a Change of Control Repurchase Event Notice made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities or corporate laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions in this Condition 6(e), the Issuer and the Company may comply with such applicable securities or corporate laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions in this Condition 6(e) by virtue of such conflict.

(f)

Purchase

Subject to any applicable stock exchange requirements, the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise at any price. Notes so purchased may be held or resold (provided that such resale is outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act) or surrendered for cancellation.

(g)

Cancellation

All Notes which are redeemed and all Notes purchased and surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of a Guarantor will be cancelled and may not be reissued or resold.

All Notes purchased by any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred if, upon such offer, resale, pledge or transfer, such Notes would be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

(h)

Multiple Notices

If more than one notice of redemption is given pursuant to this Condition 6, the first of such notices to be given shall prevail.

In this Condition, “business day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London and New York City and, in the case of presentation or surrender of a Note, in the place of the specified office of the Registrar or relevant Paying and Transfer Agent, to whom the relevant Note is presented or surrendered.

Notice of any change in the Paying and Transfer Agents or the Registrar or their specified offices will promptly be given by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17 and to the Trustee.

(i)

Fractions

When making payments to Noteholders, if the relevant payment is not of an amount which is a whole multiple of the smallest unit of the relevant currency in which such payment is to be made, such payment will be rounded down to the nearest such unit.

8	Taxation

All payments made in respect of the Notes or the Guarantees shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within any Relevant Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction through which payment is made (together with Relevant Jurisdictions, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or (as the case may be) the relevant Guarantor, in each case including any successor entity of the Issuer or of any Guarantor, shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) so as to result in the receipt by the Noteholders of such amounts as would have been received by them if no such withholding or deduction had been required.

However, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(a)

any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for:

(i)

the existence of any present or former connection between the Noteholder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than merely holding such Note, or receiving of amounts in respect of the Note or Guarantees, or enforcing the Note or Guarantees; or

(ii)

the presentation by the Noteholder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, except to the extent that the Noteholder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Note for payment on any date within such 30-day period; or

(iii)

the failure of the Noteholder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request of the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to the Noteholder, to provide information to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Noteholder or beneficial owner of that Note, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have reduced or eliminated any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would otherwise have been payable to such holder or beneficial owner; or

(iv)

the presentation of any Note for payment, where presentation is required, where the payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by the presentation of the Note for payment to at least one other paying agent;

(b)

any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(c)

any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of any Note or Guarantee;

(d)

any combination of the items listed above; or

(e)

any payment to a Noteholder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of a payment to the extent that such payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the

income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interestholder in a limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.

Whenever there is mentioned in any context the payment of principal of, and any premium or interest on, or Make-Whole Amount in respect of, any Note or under any Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

9	Events of Default

The Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders shall (subject in each case to being indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction), give notice to the Issuer that the Notes are, and they shall accordingly thereby immediately become, due and repayable at their principal amount together with accrued interest if any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a)

Non-payment

(i)

(b)

Breach of Other Obligations

The Issuer or any Guarantor does not perform or comply with any one or more of its other obligations under the Notes or the Trust Deed (other than any obligation for the payment of any interest or any other amount in respect of the Notes or any breach of Condition 2) which default or breach is incapable of remedy or, if in the opinion of the Trustee capable of remedy, is not in the opinion of the Trustee remedied within 30 days (or such longer period as the Trustee may permit) after written notice of such default or breach shall have been given to the Issuer or the Company by the Trustee requiring the same to be remedied; or

(c)

Negative Pledge

(ii)

The fair value of the assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary is less than its liabilities (taking into account contingent and prospective liabilities) which in the case of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, to meet the payment obligations under the Notes; or

10	Consolidation, Amalgamation or Merger

The Issuer and the Company will not consolidate with, merge or amalgamate into or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person (the consummation of any such event, a “Merger”), unless:

Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

14	Meetings of Noteholders, Modification and Waiver

(a)

Meetings of Noteholders

The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of Noteholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of any of these Conditions or any provisions of the Trust Deed. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee and shall be convened by the Issuer if required in writing by Noteholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing more than 50 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting two or more persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented, unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals, inter alia, (i) to modify the maturity of the Notes or the dates on which interest is payable in respect of the Notes, (ii) to reduce or cancel the principal amount of, or any premium or interest on, the Notes, (iii) to change the currency of any payment in respect of the Notes, (iv) to amend the terms of the Guarantees, or (v) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of Noteholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution, in which case the necessary quorum will be two or more persons holding or representing not less than two-thirds, or at any adjourned meeting not less than one-third, in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on Noteholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed).

An “Extraordinary Resolution” is a resolution in respect of which not less than three-quarters of the votes cast shall have been in favour at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with the Trust Deed.

The Trust Deed provides that a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than three-quarters in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of a meeting shall for all purposes be as valid as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed. Such resolution in writing may be in one document or several documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the Noteholders.

(b)

Modification and Waiver

The Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders, to (i) any modification of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, any trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, any agreement supplemental to the Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or these Conditions which in the Trustee’s opinion is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest or (in the opinion of the Trustee) proven error or to comply with mandatory provisions of law, and (ii) any other modification to the Trust Deed, any trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, any agreement supplemental to the Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or these Conditions (except as mentioned in the Trust Deed), and any waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach, of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, any trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, any agreement supplemental to the Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or these Conditions which is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders.

(c)

Entitlement of the Trustee

In connection with the exercise of its functions (including but not limited to those referred to in this Condition) the Trustee shall have regard to the interests of the Noteholders as a class and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of the exercise of its trusts, powers or discretions for individual Noteholders resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory, and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders.

15	Enforcement

The Trustee may at any time, at its discretion and without notice, take such proceedings against the Issuer and/or any Guarantor as it may think fit to enforce the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Notes, but it shall not be bound to take any such proceedings or any other action in relation to the Trust Deed or the Notes 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 principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and (ii) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction. No Noteholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer or any Guarantor unless the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed, fails so to do within a reasonable period and the failure shall be continuing.

16	The Trustee

The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility, including relieving it from taking proceedings unless indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction. The Trustee is entitled to enter into business transactions with the Issuer and/or the

Guarantors and any entity related to the Issuer and/or the Guarantors without accounting for any profit resulting therefrom. The Trustee may rely without liability to Noteholders on a report, confirmation or certificate of any accountants, financial advisers or investment bank, whether or not addressed to it and whether their liability in relation thereto is limited (by its terms or by any engagement letter relating thereto entered into by the Trustee or in any other manner) by reference to a monetary cap, methodology or otherwise. The Trustee shall be obliged to accept and be entitled to rely on any such report, confirmation or certificate where the Issuer or the Guarantors procure delivery of the same pursuant to its obligation to do so under a condition hereof and such report, confirmation or certificate shall be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Noteholders in the absence of manifest or proven error.

17	Notices

All notices regarding the Notes will be valid if published in one leading daily newspaper in the United Kingdom (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or, if this is not possible, in one other leading English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe. The Issuer shall also ensure that all notices are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Notes are for the time being listed. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. If publication as provided above is not practicable, notice will be given in such other manner, and shall be deemed to have been given on such date, as the Trustee may approve.

So long as the Notes are represented by global notes and such global notes are held on behalf of a clearing system, notices to Noteholders shall be given by delivery of the relevant notice to the relevant clearing system for communication by it to entitled accountholders.

18	Further Issues

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders create and issue further notes, bonds or debentures either having the same terms and conditions in all respects as the outstanding notes, bonds or debentures of any series (including the Notes) (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest on them and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding notes, bonds or debentures of any series (including the Notes)) or upon such terms as to interest, premium, redemption and otherwise as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. Any further notes, bonds or debentures forming a single series with the outstanding notes, bonds or debentures of any series (including the Notes) constituted by the Trust Deed or any deed supplemental to it shall, and any other notes, bonds or debentures may, with the consent of the Trustee, be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed. The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening a single meeting of the Noteholders and the holders of notes, bonds or debentures of other series in certain circumstances where the Trustee so decides. Any further notes, bonds or debentures forming a single series with the Notes will be issued with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount or as part of a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

19	Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Notes under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

20	Governing Law and Jurisdiction

(a)

Governing Law

The Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement and the Notes, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

(b)

Jurisdiction

The courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with the Trust Deed and the Notes and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Trust Deed or the Notes (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors has in the Trust Deed irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of such courts and has waived any objection to Proceedings in such courts whether on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. These submissions are made for the benefit of the Trustee and each of the Noteholders and shall not limit the right of any of them to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not).
