ADDITIONAL INFORMATION applicable in the event of listing on SeDeX ONLY
This paragraph contains information in relation to the tax regime concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. The following information is based on the Italian tax regime in force
at the date of these Final Terms, save that the said tax regime remains subject to possible changes that could have retroactive effect. Therefore, the following information is not intended to be a complete analysis of all the tax consequences of the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. Investors are recommended to consult their independent advisers with respect to the tax implications concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities.
In accordance with the Italian tax regime currently in force, the proceeds deriving from the sale and exercise of the Securities, gained by investors who are physical persons residents in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity have to be taken into account for tax purposes (a fini impositivi). In particular, pursuant to the legislative decree (21 November 1997 n. 461), that integrates the category of different income (redditi diversi) (as set out in art. 67 of D.P.R. 22 Decembers 1986, n. 917 (TUIR), as amended by the D.Lgs. 12 Decembers 2003, n. 344), the proceeds deriving from the cession and exercise of the Securities and received by physical persons resident in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity, are subject to a substitutive tax (un’imposta sostitutiva) of the income taxes (imposte sui redditi) applied at a rate of 12.50% and withheld from the tax substitute (sostituto di imposta).
To conclude, it is highlighted that, with respect to the fiscal treatment of the income (redditi) deriving from the Securities, income that is not subject of a specific official ruling of the Financial management (Amministrazione finanziaria), could be the subject of implementation of future guidelines or official positions of the Financial management or of new legislative provisions that would allow the application to such income of a more disadvantageous tax regime for the investor compared with the one mentioned above.
Particular provisions are applied to Securities held in a portfolio through a qualified intermediary to which the regime of either the so called "risparmio amministrato" (advisory accounts) or the so called “risparmio gestito” (discretionary accounts) is applied.”
RESPONSIBILITY
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in these Final Terms.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION applicable in the event of listing on SeDeX ONLY
This paragraph contains information in relation to the tax regime concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. The following information is based on the Italian tax regime in force at the date of these Final Terms, save that the said tax regime remains subject to possible changes that could have retroactive effect. Therefore, the following information is not intended to be a complete analysis of all the tax consequences of the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. Investors are recommended to consult their independent advisers with respect to the tax implications concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities.
In accordance with the Italian tax regime currently in force, the proceeds deriving from the sale and exercise of the Securities, gained by investors who are physical persons residents in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity have to be taken into account for tax purposes (a fini impositivi). In particular, pursuant to the legislative decree (21 November 1997 n. 461), that integrates the category of different income (redditi diversi) (as set out in art. 67 of D.P.R. 22 Decembers 1986, n. 917 (TUIR), as amended by the D.Lgs. 12 Decembers 2003, n. 344), the proceeds deriving from the cession and exercise of the Securities and received by physical persons resident in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity, are subject to a substitutive tax (un’imposta sostitutiva) of the income taxes (imposte sui redditi) applied at a rate of 12.50% and withheld from the tax substitute (sostituto di imposta).
To conclude, it is highlighted that, with respect to the fiscal treatment of the income (redditi) deriving from the Securities, income that is not subject of a specific official ruling of the Financial management (Amministrazione finanziaria), could be the subject of implementation of future guidelines or official positions of the Financial management or of new legislative provisions that would allow the application to such income of a more disadvantageous tax regime for the investor compared with the one mentioned above.
Particular provisions are applied to Securities held in a portfolio through a qualified intermediary to which the regime of either the so called "risparmio amministrato" (advisory accounts) or the so called “risparmio gestito” (discretionary accounts) is applied.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION applicable in the event of listing on SeDeX ONLY
This paragraph contains information in relation to the tax regime concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. The following information is based on the Italian tax regime in force at the date of these Final Terms, save that the said tax regime remains subject to possible changes that could have retroactive effect. Therefore, the following information is not intended to be a complete analysis of all the tax consequences of the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. Investors are recommended to consult their independent advisers with respect to the tax implications concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities.
In accordance with the Italian tax regime currently in force, the proceeds deriving from the sale and exercise of the Securities, gained by investors who are physical persons residents in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity have to be taken into account for tax purposes (a fini impositivi). In particular, pursuant to the legislative decree (21 November 1997 n. 461), that integrates the category of different income (redditi diversi) (as set out in art. 67 of D.P.R. 22 Decembers 1986, n. 917 (TUIR), as amended by the D.Lgs. 12 Decembers 2003, n. 344), the proceeds deriving from the cession and exercise of the Securities and received by physical persons resident in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity, are subject to a substitutive tax (un’imposta sostitutiva) of the income taxes (imposte sui redditi) applied at a rate of 12.50% and withheld from the tax substitute (sostituto di imposta).
To conclude, it is highlighted that, with respect to the fiscal treatment of the income (redditi) deriving from the Securities, income that is not subject of a specific official ruling of the Financial management (Amministrazione finanziaria), could be the subject of implementation of future guidelines or official positions of the Financial management or of new legislative provisions that would allow the application to such income of a more disadvantageous tax regime for the investor compared with the one mentioned above.
Particular provisions are applied to Securities held in a portfolio through a qualified intermediary to which the regime of either the so called "risparmio amministrato" (advisory accounts) or the so called “risparmio gestito” (discretionary accounts) is applied.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION applicable in the event of listing on SeDeX ONLY
This paragraph contains information in relation to the tax regime concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. The following information is based on the Italian tax regime in force at the date of these Final Terms, save that the said tax regime remains subject to possible changes that could have retroactive effect. Therefore, the following information is not intended to be a complete analysis of all the tax consequences of the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities. Investors are recommended to consult their independent advisers with respect to the tax implications concerning the purchase, possession, cession and exercise of the Securities.
In accordance with the Italian tax regime currently in force, the proceeds deriving from the sale and exercise of the Securities, gained by investors who are physical persons residents in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity have to be taken into account for tax purposes (a fini impositivi). In particular, pursuant to the legislative decree (21 November 1997 n. 461), that integrates the category of different income (redditi diversi) (as set out in art. 67 of D.P.R. 22 Decembers 1986, n. 917 (TUIR), as amended by the D.Lgs. 12 Decembers 2003, n. 344), the proceeds deriving from the cession and exercise of the Securities and received by physical persons resident in Italy, when not in the context of a business activity, are subject to a substitutive tax (un’imposta sostitutiva) of the income taxes (imposte sui redditi) applied at a rate of 12.50% and withheld from the tax substitute (sostituto di imposta).
To conclude, it is highlighted that, with respect to the fiscal treatment of the income (redditi) deriving from the Securities, income that is not subject of a specific official ruling of the Financial management (Amministrazione finanziaria), could be the subject of implementation of future guidelines or official positions of the Financial management or of new legislative provisions that would allow the application to such income of a more disadvantageous tax regime for the investor compared with the one mentioned above.
Particular provisions are applied to Securities held in a portfolio through a qualified intermediary to which the regime of either the so called "risparmio amministrato" (advisory accounts) or the so called “risparmio gestito” (discretionary accounts) is applied.”
RESPONSIBILITY
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in these Final Terms.

Conditions: General Conditions
The General Conditions which follow relate to the Securities and must be read in conjunction with, and are subject to, the Product Conditions and the Final Terms. The Final Terms, the Product Conditions and the General Conditions together constitute the Conditions of the Securities and will be printed on any Definitive Securities or attached to any Global Security representing the Securities.
1. DEFINITIONS
Terms in capitals which are not defined in these General Conditions shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Product Conditions or the applicable Final Terms and, if not so defined, shall be inapplicable. References in these General Conditions to interest and Coupons (and related expressions) shall be ignored in the case of Securities which do not bear interest. References in these General Conditions to the Conditions shall mean these General Conditions and, in relation to any Securities, the Product Conditions applicable to those Securities.
2. STATUS
The Securities constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer save for those preferred by mandatory provisions of law.
3. Early Termination
The Issuer shall have the right to terminate the Securities if it shall have determined in its absolute discretion that its performance thereunder shall have become unlawful in whole or in part as a result of compliance in good faith by the Issuer with any applicable present or future law, rule, regulation, judgement, order or directive of any governmental, administrative, legislative or judicial authority or power (“Applicable Law”). In such circumstances the Issuer will, however, if and to the extent permitted by the Applicable Law, pay to each Holder in respect of each Security held by such Holder an amount calculated by it as the fair market value of the Security immediately prior to such termination (ignoring such illegality) less the cost to the Issuer of unwinding any related hedging arrangements. Payment will be made to the Holder in such manner as shall be notified to the Holder in accordance with General Condition 4.
4. NOTICES
(a) Validity. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, announcements to Holders will be valid if delivered by the Issuer to the Clearing Agent(s) with an instruction from the Issuer to the Clearing Agent(s) to communicate such announcement to the Holders.
(b) Delivery. Any such announcement issued pursuant to General Condition 4(a) shall be deemed to be effective on the day following its delivery to the Clearing Agent (and if delivered to more than one Clearing Agent on the day following the date first delivered to a Clearing Agent) or, if published as specified in the applicable Final Terms on the date of such publication (and if published in more than one country then on the date first published).
5. Hedging Disruption
(a) Notification. The Issuer shall as soon as reasonably practicable give instructions to the Calculation Agent to notify the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4(a): (i) if it determines that a Hedging Disruption Event has occurred; and (ii) of the consequence of such Hedging Disruption Event as determined by the Issuer pursuant to General Condition 5(c).
(b) Hedging Disruption Event. A “Hedging Disruption Event” shall occur if the Issuer determines that it is or has become not reasonably practicable or it has otherwise become undesirable, for any reason, for the Issuer wholly or partially to establish, re- establish, substitute or maintain a relevant hedging transaction (a “Relevant Hedging Transaction”) it deems necessary or desirable to hedge the Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Securities. The reasons for such determination by the Issuer may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) any material illiquidity in the market for the relevant instruments (the “Disrupted Instrument”) which from time to time are included in the reference asset to which the Securities relate; or
(ii) a change in any applicable law (including, without limitation, any tax law) or the promulgation of, or change in, the interpretation of any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law (including any action taken by a taxing authority); or
(iii) a material decline in the creditworthiness of a party with whom the Issuer has entered into any such Relevant Hedging Transaction; or
(iv) the general unavailability of: (A) market participants who will agree to enter into a Relevant Hedging Transaction; or (B) market participants who will so enter into a Relevant Hedging Transaction on commercially reasonable terms.
(c) Consequences. The Issuer, in the event of a Hedging Disruption Event, may determine to:
(i) terminate the Securities. In such circumstances the Issuer will, however, if and to the extent permitted by the Applicable Law, pay to each Holder in respect of each Security held by such Holder an amount calculated by it as the fair market value of the Security immediately prior to such termination less the cost to the Issuer of unwinding any related hedging arrangements. Where the Securities contain provisions which provide a minimum assured return of principal, howsoever expressed, on the Settlement Date or Maturity Date as applicable, or a minimum assured return of interest or coupons, howsoever expressed, on a relevant Interest Payment Date (if applicable), any such amount to be paid under this General Condition shall not be less than the present value of such minimum assured return of principal and/or interest or coupons, such present value being determined by the Calculation Agent. Payment will be made to the Holder in such manner as shall be notified to the Holder in accordance with General Condition 4;
(ii) make an adjustment in good faith to the relevant reference asset by removing the Disrupted Instrument at its fair market value (which may be zero). Upon any such removal the Issuer may: (A) hold any notional proceeds (if any) arising as a consequence thereof and adjust the terms of payment and/or delivery in respect of the Securities; or (B) notionally reinvest such proceeds in other reference asset(s) if so permitted under the Conditions (including the reference asset(s) to which the Securities relate);
(iii) make any other adjustment to the Conditions as it considers appropriate in order to maintain the theoretical value of the Securities after adjusting for the relevant Hedging Disruption Event. Where the Securities contain provisions which provide a minimum assured return of principal, howsoever expressed, on the Settlement Date or Maturity Date as applicable, or a minimum assured return of interest or coupons, howsoever expressed, on a relevant Interest Payment Date, any such adjustment will in no way affect the Issuer’s obligations to make payment to the Holders not less than the minimum
assured return of principal and/or interest or coupons on the relevant Settlement Date or Maturity Date, or Interest Payment Date, as applicable.
6. Purchases, Further Issues by the Issuer and Prescription
(a) Purchases. The Issuer or any Affiliate may purchase Securities at any price in the open market or by tender or private treaty. Any Securities so purchased may be held, surrendered for cancellation or reissued or resold, and Securities so reissued or resold shall for all purposes be deemed to form part of the original series of Securities.
In this General Condition 6(a) “Affiliate” means any entity controlled directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, any entity that controls, directly or indirectly, the Issuer, or any entity under common control with the Issuer. As used herein “control” means the ownership of a majority of the voting power of the entity and “controlled by” and “controls” shall be construed accordingly.
(b) Further Issues. The Issuer shall be at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Holders or any of them to create and issue further securities so as to be consolidated with and form a single series with the Securities.
(c) Prescription. Any Security or Coupon which is capable of presentation and is not so presented by its due date for presentation shall be void, and its value reduced to zero, if not so presented within five years of such due date. For the avoidance of doubt, any Securities which are subject to provisions relating to their exercise shall be void, and their value shall be zero, if not exercised in accordance with their provisions.
7. Determinations and Modifications
(a) Determinations. Any determination made by the Issuer shall (save in the case of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on the Holders.
(b) Modifications. The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders or any of them, modify any provision of the Conditions which is: (i) of a formal, minor or technical nature; (ii) made to correct a manifest error; or (iii) in its absolute discretion, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders. Notice of any such modification will be given to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4 but failure to give, or non-receipt of, such notice will not affect the validity of any such modification.
8. SUBSTITUTION
(a) Substitution of Issuer. The Issuer may at any time, without the consent of the Holders substitute for itself as principal obligor under the Securities any company (the
“Substitute”), being any subsidiary or affiliate of the Issuer, subject to: (i) the obligation of the Substitute under the Securities being guaranteed by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (“Holding”) (unless Holding is the Substitute); (ii) all actions, conditions and things required to be taken, fulfilled and done (including the obtaining of any necessary consents) to ensure that the Securities represent legal, valid and binding obligations of the Substitute having been taken, fulfilled and done and being in full force and effect; and (iii) the Issuer having given at least 30 days’ prior notice of the date of such substitution to the Holders in accordance with General Condition
4. In the event of any substitution of the Issuer, any reference in the Conditions to the Issuer shall from such time be construed as a reference to the Substitute.
(b) Substitution of Office. The Issuer shall have the right upon notice to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4 to change the office through which it is acting and shall specify the date of such change in such notice.
9. TAXATION
The Issuer shall not be liable for or otherwise obliged to pay any tax, duty, withholding or other similar payment which may arise as a result of the ownership, transfer or exercise of any Securities. In relation to each Security the relevant Holder shall pay all Expenses as provided in the Product Conditions. All payments or, as the case may be, deliveries in respect of the Securities will be subject in all cases to all applicable fiscal and other laws and regulations (including, where applicable, laws requiring the deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any tax duty or other charge whatsoever). The Holder shall be liable for and/or pay any tax, duty or charge in connection with the ownership of and/or any transfer, payment or delivery in respect of the Securities held by such Holder. The Issuer shall have the right, but shall not be obliged, to withhold or deduct from any amount payable such amount, as shall be necessary to account for or to pay any such tax, duty, charge, withholding or other payment.
10. Replacement of Securities and Coupons
If any Security or Coupon is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed it may be replaced at the specified office of the Principal Agent (or such other place of which notice shall have be given to Holders in accordance with General Condition 4) upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Securities and Coupons must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. This General Condition will not apply to Securities issued in dematerialised form.
11. Adjustments for European Monetary Union
(a) Redenomination. The Issuer may, without the consent of any Holder, on giving notice to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4 elect that, with effect from the Adjustment Date specified in such notice, certain terms of the Securities shall be redenominated in euro. The election will have effect as follows:
(i) where the Settlement Currency is the National Currency Unit of a country which is participating in the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty, such Settlement Currency shall be deemed to be an amount of euro converted from the original Settlement Currency into euro at the Established Rate, subject to such provisions (if any) as to rounding as the Issuer may decide and as may be specified in the notice, and after the Adjustment Date, all payments in respect of the Securities will be made solely in euro as though references in the Securities to the Settlement Currency were to euro;
(ii) where the Conditions contain a rate of exchange or any of the Conditions are expressed in a National Currency Unit (the “Original Currency”) of a country which is participating in the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty, such rate of exchange and/or any other terms of the Conditions shall be deemed to be expressed in or, in the case of a rate of exchange, converted for or, as the case may be into, euro at the Established Rate; and
(iii) such other changes shall be made to the Conditions as the Issuer may decide to conform them to conventions then applicable to instruments expressed in euro.
(b) Adjustment to Conditions. The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders, on giving notice to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4 make such adjustments to the Conditions as the Issuer may determine to be appropriate to account for the effect of the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty on the Conditions.
(c) Euro Conversion Costs. Notwithstanding General Condition 11(a) and/or General Condition 11(b), none of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor any Agent shall be liable to any Holder or other person for any commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to or resulting from the transfer of euro or any currency conversion or rounding effected in connection therewith.
(d) Definitions Relating to European Economic and Monetary Union. In this General Condition, the following expressions have the meanings set out below.
“Adjustment Date” means a date specified by the Issuer in the notice given to the Holders pursuant to this Condition which falls on or after the date on which the country of the Original Company or, as the case may be, the Settlement Currency first participates in the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty;
“Established Rate” means the rate for the conversion of the Original Currency or, as the case may be, the Settlement Currency (including compliance with rules relating to rounding in accordance with applicable European community regulations) into euro established by the Council of the European Union pursuant to Article 123 of the Treaty;
“National Currency Unit” means the unit of the currency of a country as those units are defined on the day before the country first participates in the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty; and
“Treaty” means the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended.
12. AGENTS
(a) Principal Agent and Agents. The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any agent (the “Agent”) and to appoint further or additional Agents, provided that no termination of appointment of the principal agent (the “Principal Agent”) shall become effective until a replacement Principal Agent shall have been appointed and provided that, if and to the extent that any of the Securities are listed on any stock exchange or publicly offered in any jurisdiction, there shall be an Agent having a specified office in each country required by the rules and regulation of each such stock exchange and each such jurisdiction and provided further that, if and to the extent that any of the Securities are in registered form, there shall be a Registrar and a Transfer Agent (which may be the Registrar), if so specified in the relevant Product Conditions. Notice of any appointment, or termination of appointment, or any change in the specified office, of any Agent will be given to Holders in accordance with General Condition 4. Each Agent acts solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligation or duty to, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, the Holders or any of them. Any calculations or determinations in respect of the Securities made by an Agent shall (save in the case of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Notice of any termination or appointment will be given to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4.
The Calculation Agent acts solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligation or duty to, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, the Holders.

2. FORM
(a) Global Form. Except in the case of Securities issued in dematerialised form, the Securities are represented by a global security (the “Global Security”) which will be deposited with the Clearing Agent and will be transferable only in accordance with the applicable law and the rules and procedures of the relevant Clearing Agent through whose systems the Securities are transferred. Each person (other than another Clearing Agent) who is for the time being shown in the records of the relevant Clearing Agent as the owner of a particular unit quantity of the Securities (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by the relevant Clearing Agent as to the unit quantity of the Securities standing to the credit of the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes except in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer and each Agent as the holder of such unit quantity of the Securities (and the term “Holder” shall be construed accordingly) for all purposes, other than with respect to any payment and / or delivery obligations, the
right to which shall be vested as regards the Issuer and the Agents, solely in the bearer of the Global Security.
(b) Dematerialised Form. Certain Securities will, where required by the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agent, be issued in dematerialised form and will be registered in the book-entry system of the Clearing Agent. Title to the Securities will pass by transfer between accountholders at the Clearing Agent perfected in accordance with the legislation, rules and regulations applicable to and/or issued by the Clearing Agent that are in force and effect from time to time (the “Rules”). Accordingly, in these Conditions, the term “Holder” means a person in whose name a Security is registered in the book-entry settlement system of the Clearing Agent or any other person recognised as a holder of Securities pursuant to the Rules.
3. Rights and Procedures
(a) Exercise. Provided no Early Termination Event has occurred, the Securities will be deemed to be automatically exercised on the Exercise Date.
(b) Early Termination Event: Upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Event, the Securities will terminate automatically and the Issuer will give notice to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4.
(c) Cash Settlement. Each Security upon exercise, subject to delivery by the Holder of a duly completed Notice and to certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership, entitles its Holder to receive from the Issuer on the Settlement Date the Cash Amount. Each Security following an Early Termination Event, subject to delivery by the Holder of a duly completed Notice and to certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership, entitles its Holder to receive from the Issuer on the Settlement Date the Early Termination Amount.
(d) Interest Amount. If “Interest” is specified as being “Applicable” in the definition of the relevant Series in the applicable Final Terms, each Security shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. The Interest Amount is calculated by reference to the relevant Interest Period, the Interest Rate and the Interest Rate Day Count Fraction, and is payable on each Interest Payment Date.
(e) Interest Accrual. If “Interest” is specified as being “Applicable” in the definition of the relevant Series in the applicable Final Terms, each security shall cease to accrue interest from and including exercise. No interest shall accrue after the Exercise Date or after the Early Termination Date in respect of which an Early Termination Event
occurs, as the case may be, in the event that payment of any amount is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event.
(f) Payment Day. If the date for payment of any amount in respect of the Securities is not a Payment Day, the Holder shall not be entitled to payment until the next following Payment Day and shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of such delay.
(g) General. In the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on its part, none of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any errors or omissions in the calculation of any Cash Amount, Early Termination Amount or Interest Amount, if applicable.
(h) Notice. All payments shall be subject to the delivery of a duly completed notice (a “Notice”) to a Clearing Agent with a copy to the Principal Agent. The form of the Notice may be obtained during normal business hours from the specified office of each Agent.
A Notice shall:
(i) specify the number of Securities to which it relates;

(iv) specify the number of the account with the Clearing Agent to be credited with any Cash Amount or Early Termination Amount (if any) for such Securities;
(v) certify that neither the person delivering the Notice nor any person on whose behalf the Notice is being delivered is a U.S. person or a person within the United States. As used herein, “U.S. person” means (A) an individual who is a resident or a citizen of the United States; (B) a corporation, partnership or other entity organised in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or which has its principal place of business in the United States; (C) any estate or trust which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income; (D) any trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and if one or more United States trustees have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; (E) a pension plan for the employees, officers or principals of a corporation, partnership or other
entity described in (B) above; (F) any entity organised principally for passive investment, 10 per cent. or more of the beneficial interests in which are held by persons described in (A) to (E) above if such entity was formed principally for the purpose of investment by such persons in a commodity pool the operator of which is exempt from certain requirements of Part 4 of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s regulations by virtue of its participants being non-U.S. persons; or (G) any other “U.S. person” as such term may be defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in regulations adopted under the United States Commodity Exchange Act; and
(vi) authorise the production of such Notice in any applicable administrative or legal proceedings.
(i) Verification. In respect of each Notice, the relevant Holder must provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Principal Agent of its holding of such Securities.
(j) Settlement. The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the Cash Amount (if any) for each Security with respect to which a Notice has been delivered to the account specified in the relevant Exercise Notice for value on the Settlement Date.
(k) Determinations. Failure properly to complete and deliver a Notice may result in such notice being treated as null and void. Any determination as to whether a Notice has been properly completed and delivered shall be made by the Principal Agent and shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer and the relevant Holder. Subject as set out below, any Notice so determined to be incomplete or not in proper form, or which is not copied to the Principal Agent immediately after being delivered to a Clearing Agent as provided in the Conditions shall be void.
If such Notice is subsequently corrected to the satisfaction of the Principal Agent, it shall be deemed to be a new Notice submitted at the time such correction is delivered to such Clearing Agent and copied to the Principal Agent.
Any Security with respect to which a Notice has not been duly completed and delivered in the manner set out above by the time specified in Product Condition 3 shall become void.
The Principal Agent shall use its best efforts promptly to notify the relevant Holder if it has determined that a Notice is incomplete or not in proper form. In the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on its part, neither the Issuer nor the Principal Agent shall be liable to any person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in connection with such determination or the notification of such determination to a Holder.
(l) Delivery of a Notice. Delivery of a Notice by or on behalf of a Holder shall be irrevocable with respect to the Securities specified and no Notice may be withdrawn after receipt by a Clearing Agent as provided above. After the delivery of a Notice, the Securities which are the subject of such notice may not be transferred.
(m) Exercise and Settlement Risk. Exercise and settlement of the Securities is subject to all applicable laws, regulations and practices in force at the relevant time and neither the Issuer nor any Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever if it is unable to effect the transactions contemplated, after using all reasonable efforts, as a result of any such laws, regulations or practices. Neither the Issuer nor the Agents shall under any circumstances be liable for any acts or defaults of any Clearing Agent in relation to the performance of its duties in relation to the Securities.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
(a) Market Disruption. The Calculation Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances notify the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4 if it determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred.
“Market Disruption Event”, in relation to a Basket Constituent, means:
(i) the occurrence or existence on any Trading Day during the one hour period that ends at the official close of trading on the Exchange or any Related Exchange of any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading or the disruption or impairment in the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions (by reason of movements in price reaching or exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise):
(A) in the Shares on the Exchange or any other exchange on which the Shares are listed; or
(B) in any options contracts or futures contracts or other derivatives contracts relating to the Shares on any Related Exchange if, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, such suspension or limitation is material; or
(ii) a general moratorium is declared in respect of banking activities in the country in which the Exchange or any Related Exchange is located.
For the purposes of this definition, a limitation on the hours and number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Exchange or any Related Exchange, but a limitation on trading imposed during the course of the day by reason of movements in price otherwise exceeding levels permitted by the Exchange or any Related Exchange may, if so determined by the Calculation Agent, constitute a Market Disruption Event.
(b) Potential Adjustment Events. Following a declaration by a relevant Share Company of the terms of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Share and, if so, will:
(i) make the corresponding adjustment, if any, to any one or more of the Conditions as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for that diluting or concentrative effect; and
(ii) determine the effective date of that adjustment.
The Calculation Agent may, but need not, determine the adjustment by reference to the adjustment in respect of such Potential Adjustment Event made by an options exchange to options on the Shares traded on that options exchange. Upon making any such adjustment, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4, stating the adjustment to be made to the Conditions and giving brief details of the Potential Adjustment Event.
“Potential Adjustment Event” means any of the following: (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of relevant Shares (unless a Merger Event), or a free distribution or dividend of such Shares to existing holders by way of bonus, capitalisation, recapitalisation or similar issue; (ii) a distribution or dividend to existing holders of the relevant Shares of (A) such Shares, or (B) other share capital or securities granting the right to payment of dividends and/or the proceeds of liquidation of the relevant Share Company equally or proportionately with such payments to holders of such Shares, or (C) any other type of securities, rights or warrants or other assets, in any case for payment (cash or other) at less than the prevailing market price as determined by the Calculation Agent; (iii) an extraordinary dividend; (iv) a distribution of cash dividends on the relevant Shares equal to or greater than 8 per cent. per annum of the then current market value of the Shares;
(v) a call by a relevant Share Company in respect of relevant Shares that are not fully paid; (vi) a repurchase by a relevant Share Company of relevant Shares whether out of profits or capital and whether the consideration for such repurchase is cash,
securities or otherwise; or (vii) any other similar event that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares.
(c) De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation and Insolvency. If a De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency occurs in relation to a relevant Share Company, the Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion may take the action described in (i), (ii) or
(iii) below:
(i) require the Calculation Agent to determine in its sole and absolute discretion the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to any of the other terms of these Conditions to account for the De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency, as the case may be, and determine the effective date of that adjustment. The Calculation Agent may (but is under no obligation to) determine the appropriate adjustment by reference to the adjustment in respect of the De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency made by any Related Exchange to options contracts or futures contracts or other derivatives contracts on the relevant Shares traded on such Related Exchange; or
(ii) cancel the Securities by giving notice to Holders in accordance with General Condition 4. If the Securities are to be cancelled the Issuer will pay an amount to each Holder in respect of each Security held by him which amount shall be the fair market value of a Security (taking into account the De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency (as the case may be)) on the day selected for cancellation as shall be selected by the Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion adjusted to account fully for any losses, expenses and costs to the Issuer and/or any affiliate of the Issuer of unwinding or adjusting any underlying or related hedging arrangements (including but not limited to any equity options or selling or otherwise realising any Shares or other instruments of any type whatsoever which the Issuer and/or any of its affiliates may hold as part of such hedging arrangements), all as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. Payment will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4; or
(iii) following any adjustment to the settlement of terms of options contracts or futures contracts or any other derivatives contracts on the relevant Shares traded on any Related Exchange, require the Calculation Agent to make a corresponding adjustment to any of the other terms of these Conditions,
which adjustment will be effective as of the date determined by the Calculation Agent to be the effective date of the corresponding adjustment made by the Related Exchange. If options contracts or futures contracts or other derivatives contracts on the Shares are not traded on the Related Exchange, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustment, if any, to any of the other terms of these Conditions as the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion determines appropriate, with reference to the rules and precedents (if any) set by the Related Exchange to account for the De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency (as the case may be) that in the determination of the Calculation Agent would have given rise to an adjustment by the Related Exchange if such options contracts or futures contracts or other derivatives contracts were so traded.
Upon the occurrence of a De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Holders in accordance with General Condition 4, stating the occurrence of such De-listing, Merger Event, Nationalisation or Insolvency (as the case may be) and the action proposed to be taken in relation thereto.
“De-listing” in this paragraph (c) means a Share for any reason ceases to be listed or is suspended from listing on the Exchange (and such cessation or suspension is continuing and such Share is not subsequently listed or quoted on another stock exchange or quotation system acceptable to the Issuer).
“Merger Date” means the date upon which all holders of the Shares of a Share Company (other than, in the case of a take-over offer, Shares owned or controlled by the offeror) have agreed or have irrevocably become obliged to transfer their Shares.
“Merger Event” means any (i) reclassification or change to the Shares of a Share Company that results in a transfer of or an irrevocable commitment to transfer all outstanding Shares of such Share Company; (ii) consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Share Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which such Share Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any such reclassification or change to all the outstanding Shares of a Share Company); or (iii) other take-over offer for the Shares of a Share Company that results in a transfer of, or an irrevocable commitment to transfer, the Shares of a Share Company (other than any such Shares owned or controlled by the offeror), in each case if the Merger Date is on or before the Determination Date.

(d) Adjustments to the Basket. If a De-Listing occurs with respect to a Basket Constituent or a Basket Constituent is for any reason cancelled, the Calculation Agent may determine in its sole discretion to either (A) replace the de-listed or cancelled Basket Constituent by a successor basket constituent which has in the determination of the Calculation Agent the same or a substantially similar structure and a substantially similar economic impact and is linked to the same commodity as such Basket Constituent or (B) remove the de-listed or cancelled Basket Constituent and allocate the Final Reference Price of such Basket Constituent as of the effective date of the de-listing or cancellation pro rata to the remaining Basket Constituents.
