		(a)	to act thereafter as Principal Paying Agent, Paying Agents, relevant Registrar and relevant Calculation Agent respectively of the Trustee in relation to payments to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee under the terms of these presents and on the terms provided in the Paying Agency Agreement or, as the case may be, the relevant Calculation Agency Agreement mutatis mutandis in relation to such Notes (save that the Trustee’s liability under any provisions thereof for the indemnification of the Paying Agents, the Registrar or any Calculation Agent shall be limited to amounts for the time being held by the Trustee on the terms of these presents in relation to such Notes which are available to the Trustee for such purpose) and thereafter to hold all such Notes and the relative Receipts and Coupons (if any) and all sums, documents and records held by them in respect of such Note and Coupons (if any) on behalf of the Trustee; and/or
		(b)	to deliver up all Notes, Receipts and Coupons (if any) of such Series and all sums, documents and records held by them in respect of such Notes and Coupons to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice PROVIDED THAT such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any document or record which the relative Paying Agent, relevant Registrar or relevant Calculation Agent is obliged not to release by any law or regulation; and

		(ii)	by notice in writing to the relevant Issuer and the relevant Guarantor(s) require each of them to make all subsequent payments in respect of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons of the relevant Series to or to the order of the Trustee and not to the Principal Paying Agent, the relevant Registrar or relevant Calculation Agent (as the case may be) and, with effect from the issue of any such notice until such notice is withdrawn, proviso (i) to subclause (A) of this Clause shall cease to have effect.
	(D)	If any Series of Floating Rate Notes becomes immediately due and repayable pursuant to Condition 10, the rate of interest and interest amounts in respect of them shall continue to be calculated in accordance with the Conditions until all such Floating Rate Notes of such Series shall have been repaid, except that the rates of interest and interest amounts need not be notified in accordance with the Conditions.
	(E)	All payments in respect of, under and in connection with these presents and the Notes, Receipts and Coupons of any Series shall be made to the relevant Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders in the relevant currency as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
	(F)	The Notes of each Series shall form a separate Series and accordingly, unless for any purpose the Trustee at its absolute discretion shall otherwise determine, all the provisions of these presents shall apply separately to the Notes of each Series and, in these presents, the expressions “Notes”, “Noteholders”, “Receipts”, “Receiptholders”, “Coupons”, and “Couponholders” and, in each case, kindred expressions shall be construed accordingly.
4.	Issue and constitution of Notes
	(A)	BY not later than the close of business (London time) on the third (or, where the copy of the relevant Pricing Supplement referred to in paragraph (i) is a Pro-Forma Pricing Supplement and is accompanied by the Relevant Certificate, the second) day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays) on which banks are open for business in the City of London preceding each proposed Issue Date, the relevant Issuer shall:
		(i)	procure that the Trustee receives a copy of the relevant Pricing Supplement; and
		(ii)	deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed (where either N.V. or PLC is the Issuer) by a director of N.V. or PLC, as the case may be, or some other person duly authorised in that behalf or (where UCC is the Issuer) by the

		President, any Vice-President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of UCC or some other person duly authorised in that behalf certifying to the best of the knowledge and belief of the giver of the certificate having made all reasonable enquiries the absence of any event listed in Condition 10 (whether or not applicable to the Notes of such Tranche) or any event which, with the lapse of time and/or the giving of notice and/or the issue of a certificate would constitute an Event of Default and compliance with the Programme Limit. The relevant Issuer shall also procure that there is delivered to the Trustee an executed copy of the relevant Pricing Supplement prior to the Issue Date in the case where the copy of such Pricing Supplement referred to in (i) above was unexecuted.
	Forthwith upon either the approval (or deemed approval) by the Trustee of the relevant Pricing Supplement or the receipt by the Trustee of the Relevant Certificate and the issue of, and full payment for, the relevant Temporary Global Note(s), or, as the case may be, the relevant Registered Notes, the Notes of the Tranche to which it or they relate(s) shall become constituted by these presents without further formality. The Trustee shall, in respect of any Pricing Supplement which is not a Pro-Forma Pricing Supplement in respect of which a Relevant Certificate has been delivered, determine, within 24 hours (or such shorter period as the Trustee and the relevant Issuer may agree) from the time of receipt by the Trustee of such Pricing Supplement (PROVIDED THAT such receipt must occur on a Business Day (as defined in Condition 8C(2)), whether or not to approve such Pricing Supplement and shall forthwith give notice of its determination to the relevant Issuer and relevant Guarantor(s). In the event that the Trustee fails within such 24 hour or other agreed period to give notice thereof to the relevant Issuer and relevant Guarantor(s), the Trustee shall be deemed to have approved such Pricing Supplement immediately after the end of the relevant period. A period of 24 hours for the purposes of this Clause 4(A) shall commence from the time on the Business Day of receipt of the Trustee of the relevant Pricing Supplement and shall end at the same time on the next succeeding Business Day.
(B)	The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may, from time to time, agree in writing the form and substance of any of the Pricing Supplements (the “Pro-forma Pricing Supplements”) which the relevant Issuer and relevant Guarantor(s) may, from time to time, use in respect of any issue of Notes to be constituted pursuant to these presents. In the event that any Issuer and Guarantor(s) resolve to issue a Pricing Supplement the terms of which are in compliance with the terms of any Pro-Forma Pricing

	Supplement, then such Issuer shall, certify in a Relevant Certificate to the Trustee that the terms of the relevant Pricing Supplement are in compliance with the terms of any Pro-Forma Pricing Settlement whereupon such Pricing Supplement shall be deemed to be approved by the Trustee for the purposes of these presents. Such Relevant Certificate shall (except in the case of manifest error) be conclusive and binding in respect of the facts therein stated and the Trustee and the Noteholders may rely absolutely thereon. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee may, from time to time, by notice in writing to the Issuers and the Guarantors declare that any Pro-Forma Pricing Supplement shall cease to be treated as a Pro-Forma Pricing Supplement and forthwith on and from the giving of such notice such Pro-Forma Pricing Supplement shall no longer be treated as such and any declaration so made by the Trustee shall be binding for all purposes on the Issuers and the Guarantors.
(C)	None of the Issuers shall be entitled to, and each Issuer hereby covenants with the Trustee that it will not, issue any Notes pursuant to these presents unless the appropriate Guarantee applies to such Notes.
(D)	Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall procure that legal opinions shall be delivered to the Trustee in any of the following circumstances:
	(i)	on such occasions as the Trustee so requests after consultation with the relevant Issuers and the relevant Guarantors, on the occurrence of either a change or a proposed change in any applicable law or regulation (or interpretation thereof) affecting any of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Notes, or these presents or on the Trustee having any other reasonable grounds; and
	(ii)	on any occasion on which the Dealers receive any legal opinion in accordance with the Dealer Agreement.
	If, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Clause 4, the Trustee is not satisfied with any legal opinion delivered to it pursuant to this Clause 4(D) (not being a legal opinion substantially in the form of the legal opinion delivered to the Trustee on the date hereof) the Trustee shall thereafter be entitled not to approve any new Pricing Supplement in respect of which such legal opinion may, at any time, relate or be connected in any way whatsoever.

5.	Forms and issue of the Notes
	(A)	THE Bearer Notes of each Tranche will be represented on issue by a Temporary Global Note. Each Temporary Global Note shall be

		exchangeable, in accordance with its terms, for a Permanent Global Note or Definitive Notes having, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Receipts or (as the case may be) Coupons attached and/or (in the case of a Series comprising both Bearer and Registered Notes) Registered Notes in global or definitive form all as set out in such Temporary Global Note. Each Permanent Global Note shall be exchangeable, in accordance with its terms, for Definitive Notes having, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Receipts or (as the case may be) Coupons attached and (in the case of a Series comprising both Bearer and Registered Notes) Registered Notes in global or definitive form all as set out in such Permanent Global Note. All Notes in global form shall be signed manually on behalf of the relevant Issuer (where N.V. or PLC is the Issuer) by a director of N.V. or PLC or, as the case may be, some other person duly authorised in that behalf or (where UCC is the Issuer) by the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of UCC, any duly authorised attorney or some other person duly authorised in that behalf and may be a master Note in global form supplied by the relevant Issuer under the provisions of the Paying Agency Agreement and authenticated by the Principal Paying Agent and delivered to a bank depositary common to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other relevant clearing system in accordance with the provisions of the Paying Agency Agreement. All Definitive Notes shall, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, be security printed in accordance with any applicable regulatory requirements from time to time (and those Notes which are listed on any stock exchange shall be security printed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable stock exchange and any other applicable regulatory requirements from time to time), shall be serially numbered and shall, if interest bearing, have attached thereto Coupons or, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, have endorsed thereon a grid for recording the payment of interest and shall, in the case of Instalment Notes, have attached thereto Receipts. The Notes in global form, the Definitive Notes and the relative Receipts, and Coupons (if any) shall be in bearer form and shall have the Conditions endorsed thereon, attached thereto or incorporated by reference therein. Title to the Notes in global form, the Definitive Notes and the relative Receipts and Coupons shall pass by delivery.
	(B)	The Registered Notes of each Series will, subject to the provisions of Clause 5(A), at all times be represented by Registered Notes PROVIDED THAT on the exchange of a Note in global form for Registered Notes, such series of Registered Notes shall at all times thereafter be represented by Registered Notes. All Registered Notes shall be prepared, completed and delivered in accordance with the delivery instructions of the

		relevant Dealers. All Registered Notes shall be printed in accordance with the requirements of the Stock Exchange and any other regulatory requirements from time to time and have endorsed thereon, attached thereto or incorporated by reference therein the Conditions. The Registered Notes shall be in registered form and shall be serially numbered. Title to the Registered Notes shall pass in accordance with Condition 5 and the provisions of the Paying Agency Agreement.
	(C)	The Definitive Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and the Registered Notes shall be signed manually or in facsimile (where N.V. or PLC is the Issuer) by a director of N.V. or PLC, as the case may be, or some other person duly authorised in that behalf or (where UCC is the Issuer) by the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of UCC, any duly authorised attorney or some other person duly authorised in that behalf. Any Issuer may use on any Definitive Note, Registered Note or any Receipt or Coupon facsimile signatures of each of the authorised signatories of the relevant Issuer set out in this sub-clause notwithstanding the fact that when such Definitive Note, Registered Note, Receipt or Coupon shall be issued any such person shall have ceased to hold such office. The Definitive Notes, Registered Notes, Receipts or Coupons so executed (and in the case of the Definitive Notes or Registered Notes authenticated) and issued shall be valid and binding obligations of the relevant Issuer. The master Temporary Global Note and the master Permanent Global Note for an Issuer shall be signed manually by or on behalf of such Issuer in accordance with Clause 5(A). Any Issuer may adopt and use the signature of any person who, at the date of signing a master Temporary Global Note or master Permanent Global Note, is authorised to sign on behalf of the relevant Issuer for such purpose notwithstanding that such person may have ceased to hold such office at the time of the creation and issue of the relevant Tranche or the issue and delivery of the relevant Notes.
	(D)	The relevant Issuer shall procure that, prior to their issue and delivery, the Notes in global form and the Definitive Notes shall be authenticated manually by an authorised signatory on behalf of the Principal Paying Agent and the Registered Notes shall be authenticated manually by an authorised signatory on behalf of the relevant Registrar. Notes in global form, Definitive Notes and Registered Notes, as the case may be, shall not be valid for any purpose unless and until so authenticated and any Receipts or Coupons appertaining to the relevant Definitive Notes shall not be valid for any purpose unless and until the Definitive Notes to which they appertain shall have been authenticated but, subject thereto, Notes in global form, Definitive Notes, Registered Notes and, as the case may be,

		Receipts or Coupons so executed shall be binding and valid obligations of the relevant Issuer.
6.	Stamp Duties
	(A)	THE relevant Issuer will pay all stamp duties and other similar duties or taxes (if any) payable in The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States on (i) the constitution and issue of the Notes, the Receipts and/or the Coupons (ii) the initial delivery of the Notes. The Issuers will pay all stamp duties and other similar duties or taxes (if any) payable in the aforesaid countries on the execution of these presents. If in consequence of an Event of Default the Trustee (or any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder where permitted under these presents so to do) shall take any proceedings against the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) and/or any proceedings to wind up the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) in The Netherlands and/or the United Kingdom and/or the United States and if for the purposes of any such proceedings these presents or any Notes, Receipts or Coupons are taken into such jurisdiction and any stamp duties or other duties or taxes become payable thereon in any such jurisdiction, the relevant Issuer will pay (or reimburse the person making payment of) such stamp duties or other duties or taxes.
	(B)	Covenant to give substitute tax undertaking If the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) shall become subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of any territory other than or in addition to The Netherlands in the case of N.V., the United Kingdom in the case of PLC or the United States or any political sub-division thereof in the case of UCC or UNUS, or any authority in such other territory having power to tax, then the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) (as the case may be) shall (unless the Trustee shall otherwise agree), but only if by virtue of becoming so subject it shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holder of any Note or, as the case may be, Receipt or Coupon after withholding or deduction for or on account of taxes or duties imposed or levied by or on behalf of such territory or authority, shall equal the respective amounts of principal or redemption amount and/or interest as would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Receipts or Coupons in the absence of such withholding or deduction, give to the Trustee an undertaking or covenant in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in terms corresponding to the terms of Condition 9 with the substitution for, or (as the case may require) the addition to, the references therein to The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States or any authority in The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United

States having power to tax of references to that other or additional territory or any authority therein having power to tax to whose taxing jurisdiction the relevant Issuer or, as the case may be, the relevant Guarantor(s) shall have become subject as aforesaid and in such event the provisions of these presents shall be read accordingly.

7.	Covenant to observe provisions of the Trust Deed and Schedules
	(A)	EACH of the Issuers and each of the Guarantors hereby covenants with the Trustee to comply with those provisions of these presents which are expressed to be binding on each of them and to perform and observe the same. The Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons shall be held subject to the provisions contained in these presents, all of which shall be binding upon each of the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and all persons claiming through or under them respectively. The issue of any Series of Notes shall constitute confirmation of the fact that the Notes of such Series carry the benefit of the Guarantee.
	(B)	The provisions contained in the Schedules shall have full effect in the like manner as if the same had been incorporated herein.
8.	Guarantee

(A)	(i)	N.V., in respect of any Notes issued by PLC;
	(ii)	PLC, in respect of any Notes issued by N.V.; and
	(iii)	each of N.V., PLC and UNUS, jointly and severally, in respect of any Notes issued by UCC,
	hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee(s) to the Trustee the due and punctual payment by the relevant Issuer of any moneys payable from time to time by the relevant Issuer in respect of the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and under or pursuant to these presents, as the case may be, in the manner hereinafter provided, namely:

(i)

if and whenever the relevant Issuer shall make default in the payment of any moneys payable by the relevant Issuer in respect of the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons or under or pursuant to these presents, as the case may be, the relevant Guarantor(s) shall forthwith upon written demand therefor made by the Trustee unconditionally pay to or to the order of the Trustee in the relevant currency the amount in respect of which such default has been made and any payment so made shall pro tanto cure such default by the relevant Issuer PROVIDED THAT every payment of such

			moneys as aforesaid made by the relevant Guarantor(s) to the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and/or the Couponholders, as the case may be, or to, or to the order of, the Principal Paying Agent or the relevant Registrar in the manner provided in the Paying Agency Agreement shall be satisfaction pro tanto of the covenants by the Guarantor(s) in this Clause contained (and shall be deemed for the purposes of this Clause to have been paid to or to the order of the Trustee) except, in the case of payment to or to the order of the Principal Paying Agent or the relevant Registrar as aforesaid, to the extent that there is default in the subsequent payment thereof to the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders, as the case may be, in accordance with the Conditions. The provisions of Condition 9 shall apply with respect to payments by any of the Guarantors made hereunder;
		(ii)	without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this sub-clause (A), each of the Guarantors shall, as between the Trustee and itself, be liable as if it were the principal debtor and not merely a surety and none of the Guarantors shall be exonerated or discharged from liability under the Guarantee by time being given to the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of them by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders or any of them, by any other indulgence or concession to the relevant Issuer granted by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders or any of them or by anything done by the Trustee in exercise of any of the trusts, powers, authorities or discretions vested in it by these presents or by anything which the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders or the Trustee or any of them may omit or neglect to do or by any other dealing or thing which, but for this provision, might operate to exonerate or discharge any of the relevant Guarantor(s) from their covenants herein contained or by the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of or any defect in the provisions of any Note, Receipt or Coupon or these presents or any of the relevant Issuer’s obligations thereunder or hereunder;
		(iii)	the Guarantee is to be a continuing guarantee and accordingly shall remain in operation until all moneys owing in respect of the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons and under these presents have been paid or satisfied and is in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights which the Trustee or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders or any of them may have under or by virtue of these presents and may be enforced

		without first having recourse to any such rights and without taking any steps or proceedings against the relevant Issuer. In particular, the Guarantee may be enforced on each and every occasion on which default is made by the relevant Issuer in payment notwithstanding that any call under this Guarantee may have been made previously by the Trustee or that any proceedings may have been commenced against any of the relevant Guarantor(s) in respect of sums already due under the Guarantee;
	(iv)	the Trustee may from time to time make any arrangement or compromise with the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of them in relation to the Guarantee which the Trustee may think fit;
	(v)	the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of them shall not, without the consent of the Trustee, at any time after default has been made by the relevant Issuer in the payment of any moneys payable by the relevant Issuer in respect of the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons or under or pursuant to these presents and so long as any moneys payable by the relevant Guarantor(s) in respect of such defaulted moneys remain unpaid, exercise in respect of any amounts paid under the Guarantee any right of subrogation or any other right or remedy which may accrue to the relevant Guarantor(s) in respect of or as a result of such payment; and
	(vi)	if any payment received by the Trustee or any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder pursuant to the provisions of these presents shall, on the subsequent bankruptcy or insolvency of the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of them, be avoided under any laws relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, such payment shall not be considered as having discharged or diminished the liability of the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of them, and the Guarantee shall continue to apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by the relevant Issuer and the relevant Guarantor(s) shall indemnify the Trustee and the Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders, as the case may be, in respect thereof.
(B)	If any moneys shall become payable by any of the Guarantors under the Guarantee, the relevant Issuer shall not, without the consent of the Trustee, so long as such moneys remain unpaid, pay any moneys for the time being due by the relevant Issuer to any of the Guarantors.
(C)	In this Clause 8, the expression “relevant Issuer” shall mean the Issuer in respect of which the relevant Guarantor(s) has or,

		as the case may be, have given its or, as the case may be, their Guarantee.
9.	Application of moneys received by the Trustee
	(A)		THE Trustee shall apply all moneys received by it under these presents in respect of the Notes of any Series:
				(i)	first, in payment or satisfaction of the reasonable costs, charges, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee in or about the preparation and execution of, or in carrying out the terms of, or enforcing the trusts of these presents (including remuneration of the Trustee);
				(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pari passu and rateably of all arrears of interest remaining unpaid in respect of the Notes of the relevant Series and all principal moneys, redemption amounts and premium (if any) due on or in respect of such Notes; PROVIDED THAT where Notes of more than one Series have become so due and payable, such moneys shall be applied as between the amounts outstanding in respect of the different Series pari passu and rateably (except where such moneys are paid in respect of a specific Series or several specific Series, in which event such moneys shall be applied solely to the amounts outstanding in respect of that Series or those Series respectively); and
				(iii)	thirdly, in payment of the balance (if any) to the relevant Issuer or, in the event that any moneys were received from the relevant Guarantor(s), to the extent of such moneys, to the relevant Guarantor(s) (provided that where any Series of Notes is guaranteed on a joint and several basis by more than one Guarantor, the Trustee shall not have regard as to how any such moneys are apportioned between the Guarantors).
				Without prejudice to the provisions of this Clause, if the Trustee shall hold any moneys which represent principal, redemption amount, premium or interest in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons which have become void under Condition 12, the Trustee shall (subject to no sums being then overdue to the Trustee in respect of any Notes, Receipts or Coupons of any Series and to the payment or provision for the payment or satisfaction of the said costs, charges, expenses and liabilities, including the remuneration of the Trustee) pay the same forthwith to the relevant Issuer (without prejudice to any question as to how such surplus should be dealt with as between the relevant Issuer and any other person for the time being entitled thereto in priority to the relevant Issuer).

	(B)	If more than one Series of Notes has become due and payable, the Trustee shall apportion between the relevant Noteholders the payment of the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities referred to in paragraph (i) of sub-clause (A) of this Clause out of moneys received and held upon trust by the Trustee as aforesaid, in such manner and in such amounts as it shall, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate.
	(C)	The Trustee shall give not less than 14 days’ notice to Noteholders in accordance with the Conditions of the day fixed for any payment to the Noteholders under this Clause 9.
10.	Power to retain and invest less than 10 per cent. IF the amount of the moneys at any time available for payment in respect of the Notes of any Series under Clause 9 shall be less than one tenth of the principal amount of the Notes of such Series then repayable, the Trustee may, at its discretion, invest such moneys upon some or one of the investments hereinafter authorised with power from time to time, at the like discretion, to vary such investments; and such investment with the resulting income thereof may be accumulated until the accumulations together with any other funds for the time being under the control of the Trustee and applicable for the purpose shall amount to a sum sufficient to pay at least one tenth of the principal amount of the Notes of such Series then repayable and such accumulation and funds shall then be applied in the manner aforesaid.
11.	Authorised investments ANY moneys which under the trusts herein contained ought to, or may be, invested by the Trustee may be invested in the name or under the control of the Trustee in any of the investments for the time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or in any other investments, whether similar to those aforesaid or not, which may be selected by the Trustee or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Trustee with such bank or other financial institution as the Trustee may think fit and in such currency as the Trustee may think fit (in the case of any currency other than the Requisite Currency), with the approval of the relevant Issuer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and the Trustee may at any time vary or transfer any of such investments for or into other such investments, subject to the proviso in Clause 22, neither it nor the relevant Issuer nor the relevant Guarantor(s) shall be responsible for any loss occasioned by reason of any such investments or such deposit whether by depreciation in value, fluctuation in exchange rates or otherwise.

12.	Indemnification of the Trustee upon enforcement
	(A)	THE Trustee shall not be bound to take any steps to enforce the performance of any of the provisions of these presents, the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons unless (i) it shall have been directed to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution or so requested in writing by the Holders of at least one-fourth in principal amount of the Notes of the relevant Series then outstanding and (ii) it shall have been indemnified to its satisfaction against all liabilities, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may thereby become liable and all costs, charges and expenses which may be incurred by it in connection therewith.
	(B)	Should the Trustee take any proceedings against any Issuer and/or any Guarantor:
		(i)	proof therein that as regards any specified Note of a particular Series, default has been made in paying any principal, redemption amount, premium and/or, where the same is not paid against presentation of a Note in global form or, as the case may be, a Coupon, interest due in respect of such Note shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that like default has been made as regards all other Notes of such Series in respect of which a corresponding payment is then due; and
		(ii)	proof therein that as regards any specified Coupon appertaining to a Note of a particular Series, default has been made in paying any interest due to the relevant Couponholders shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that like default has been made as regards all other Coupons appertaining to the Notes of such Series in respect of which a corresponding payment is then due.
13.	Payment to Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders ANY payment to be made in respect of the Notes of any Series or the Receipts or the Coupons appertaining thereto by the relevant Issuer or relevant Guarantor(s) or the Trustee may be made in the manner provided in the Conditions and any payment so made shall be a good discharge, pro tanto, to such Issuer, or, as the case may be, such Guarantor or the Trustee. Any payment in full of interest made in respect of a Coupon shall extinguish any claim of a Noteholder which may arise directly or indirectly in respect of such interest.
14.	Production of Notes, Receipts and Coupons UPON any payment to Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders under Condition 8 the Note, Receipt or Coupon in respect of which such

	payment is made shall, if the Trustee so requires, be produced to the Trustee, or the Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant Registrar by or through whom such payment is made and the Trustee shall, in the case of part payment, enface or cause such Paying Agent or, as the case may be, Registrar to enface a memorandum of the amount and date of payment on such Note, Receipt or Coupon or, in the case of payment in full, shall cancel or procure the same to be cancelled and shall certify or procure the certification of such cancellation but such Paying Agent or, as the case may be, Registrar may, in any particular case, dispense with the production and enfacement of a Note, Receipt or Coupon upon such indemnity being given as it shall reasonably think sufficient.
15.	Covenants by the Issuers and the Guarantors
	EACH of the Issuers and the Guarantors (other than, in the case of (b), (c), (e), (s) and (t) below, UNUS) hereby covenants with the Trustee that, so long as any of the Notes issued or guaranteed by it remains outstanding, it shall:

		(c)	upon becoming aware of the same, give notice in writing to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Event of Default in relation to it or any event which, with the lapse of time and/or the giving of notice and/or the issue of a certificate would constitute an Event of Default in relation to it;
		(d)	within 14 days of any written request by the Trustee and at least once in every year (if practicable at the same time as copies of the balance sheet and accounts mentioned under paragraph (e) below are sent) deliver to the Trustee (in the case of N.V. and PLC) a certificate signed by a director of N.V. or PLC, as the case may be, or some other person duly authorised in that behalf and (in the case of

	UCC) a certificate signed by the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of UCC or some other person duly authorised in that behalf to the effect that to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of such person having made all reasonable enquiries:
	(i)	there did not exist as at a date not more than five days prior to the date of the certificate nor had there existed at any other time prior thereto since the date hereof or since the date as of which the last such certificate was given any Event of Default or any event which, with the lapse of time and/or the giving of notice and/or the issue of a certificate would constitute an Event of Default or, if such an Event of Default or event did then exist or had existed, specifying the same; and
	(ii)	during the preceding financial year (or during such period as the Trustee may specify in such request) and since the completion thereof up to the date mentioned in (i) above each of the Issuers and the Guarantors complied in all material respects with its obligations contained in these presents or, if such is not the case, specifying the respects in which it has not so complied;
(e)	so far as permitted by law, at all times give to the Trustee such other information as it shall reasonably require for the purpose of the discharge of the duties and discretions vested in it hereunder or by operation of law;

16.	Remuneration of the Trustee
	(A)	THE relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), shall (subject as hereinafter provided) pay to the Trustee such remuneration as shall be agreed from time to time between the Issuers and the Trustee as remuneration for its services as Trustee under these presents. Such remuneration shall, unless otherwise agreed, be deemed to accrue from day to day and shall be paid annually in arrear. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or in the event of the Trustee finding it necessary or being required to undertake any exceptional duties (or duties otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under these presents) in the performance of its trusteeship under these presents the relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), shall pay such additional remuneration as shall be agreed between the Trustee and the relevant Issuer. In the event of the Trustee and the relevant Issuer failing to agree upon whether such duties are of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal duties of the Trustee under these presents, or failing to agree upon such increased or additional remuneration, such matters shall be determined by a merchant bank (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Trustee and approved by the relevant Issuer 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 nomination and the fee of such merchant bank being shared equally between the Trustee and the relevant Issuer) and the decision of any such merchant bank shall be conclusive and binding on the relevant Issuer, the relevant Guarantor(s) and the Trustee.
	(B)	The Trustee shall not be entitled to remuneration in respect of any period after the date on which, all the Notes of any Series having become due for redemption, the redemption moneys (including accrued interest thereon) have been paid to the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the

		Registrar or otherwise duly provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee unless, upon due presentation of any Note, Receipt or Coupon, payment of the moneys due in respect thereof is improperly withheld or refused, in which event remuneration will commence again to accrue.
	(C)	In addition to remuneration hereunder the relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), shall, on written request, pay all other reasonable costs, charges and expenses including travelling expenses which the Trustee may properly incur in relation to the preparation and execution of these presents and the exercise of the powers or the execution of the trusts vested in it by or pursuant to these presents.
	(D)	The relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), shall indemnify the Trustee (i) in respect of all liabilities and expenses properly incurred by it or any liability or expense properly incurred by any person appointed by it to whom any trust, power, authority or discretion may be delegated by it in the execution or purported execution of the trusts, powers, authorities or discretions vested in it by these presents, provided that in the case of any such delegate the Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such delegate and (ii) against all liabilities, actions, proceedings, costs, claims and demands in respect of any matter or thing properly done or omitted in relation to these presents but shall not be liable to indemnify the Trustee or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders, as the case may be, against any income tax (or similar taxes) which the Trustee pays or for which the Trustee is liable to account by reason of fees payable in respect of its acting as Trustee pursuance to these presents.
	(E)	All sums payable under sub-clauses (C) and (D) of this Clause shall be payable within 30 days of demand. All sums payable by the relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), under this Clause shall carry interest at a rate equal to one per cent. per annum over the base rate of National Westminster Bank PLC from time to time from the date 30 days after the date of the same being demanded to the day of payment or (where a demand by the Trustee specifies that payment by the Trustee will be made on an earlier date) from 30 days after such earlier date. If practicable, the Trustee will notify the relevant Issuer failing which, the relevant Guarantor(s) of any expenditure prior to incurring the same but the absence of such notice shall not deprive the Trustee of the right to be reimbursed by the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) to the same extent as the Trustee would be entitled to if prior notification had been given.

	(F)	The relevant Issuer, failing whom the relevant Guarantor(s), shall in addition pay to the Trustee (if so required) an amount equal to the amount of any value added tax or similar tax properly charged in respect of its remuneration hereunder.
	(G)	The Trustee shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to determine in respect of which Series of Notes any costs, charges, expenses or liabilities incurred under these presents have been incurred or to allocate any such costs, charges, expenses or liabilities between the different Series of Notes.
	(H)	Unless otherwise specifically stated in any discharge of these presents the provisions of this Clause 16 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding such discharge.
17.	Modifications and Substitution
	(A)	THE Trustee may from time to time and at any time without any consent of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders (or, as the case may be, the Holders of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons of any one or more Series) agree with the relevant Issuer (a) to any modification (other than of the provisos to paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Ninth Schedule hereto or any provision of these presents referred to in those provisos) of these presents which in the opinion of the Trustee is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes or, as the case may be, the Holders of the Notes of the relevant Series or (b) to any modification of these presents which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or made to correct a manifest error.

		in place of the relevant Issuer, N.V. or PLC, as the case may be (or of any previous substitute under this Clause), and the following further conditions apply:
		(i)	the relevant Issuer, N.V. or PLC, as the case may be (or any previous substitute under this Clause), and the New Company shall comply with such other requirements as the Trustee may reasonably direct in the interests of the Notes of the relevant Series;

24.	Trustee entitled to assume due performance EXCEPT as herein otherwise expressly provided the Trustee shall be and is hereby authorised to assume without enquiry, in the absence of knowledge or express notice to the contrary, that each of the Issuers and the Guarantors is duly performing and observing all the covenants and provisions contained in these presents relating to the Issuers and/or the Guarantors (as the case may be) and on their respective parts to be performed and observed and that no event has happened upon the happening of which any of the Notes of any Series may become repayable.
25.	Waiver THE Trustee may, without prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, condition, event or act, from time to time and at any time, but only if and in so far as in its opinion the interests of the Noteholders (or, as the case may be, the Holders of Notes of the relevant Series) shall not be materially prejudiced thereby, authorise or waive, on such terms and conditions (if any) as shall seem expedient to it, any proposed breach or breach of any of the covenants or provisions contained in these presents or the Notes, the Receipts or Coupons (or, as the case may be, the Notes of such Series and the relative Receipts and/or Coupons) or determine, in relation to any Series, that any condition, event or act which constitutes, or which with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time and/or the issue of a certificate would constitute, but for such determination, an Event of Default for the purposes of these presents shall not do so PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT the Trustee shall not exercise any powers conferred upon it by this Clause in respect of the Notes of any Series in contravention of any express direction by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Notes of such Series then outstanding (but so that no such direction or request shall affect any authorisation, waiver or determination previously given or made). Any such waiver, authorisation or determination shall be binding on the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders (or, as the case may be, the Holders of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons of such Series) and if, but only if, the Trustee shall so require, shall be notified by the relevant Issuer to the Noteholders (or, as the case may be, the

	Holders of Notes of such Series) in accordance with Condition 14 as soon as practicable thereafter.
26.	Power to delegate THE Trustee may, in the execution and exercise of all or any of the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it by these presents, act by responsible officers or a responsible officer for the time being of the Trustee and the Trustee may also whenever it thinks fit, whether by power of attorney or otherwise, delegate to any person or persons all or any of the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it by these presents and any such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as the Trustee may think fit in the interests of the Noteholders (or, as the case may be, the Holders of Notes of any one or more Series) and provided that the Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such delegate and subject to the proviso in Clause 22, it shall not be bound to supervise the proceedings and shall not in any way or to any extent be responsible for any loss incurred by any misconduct or default on the part of such delegate or sub-delegate. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the relevant Issuer of the appointment of any delegate as aforesaid and shall procure that any delegate shall also give prompt notice to the relevant Issuer or any sub-delegate.
27.	Competence of a majority of Trustees WHENEVER there shall be more than two trustees hereof the majority of such trustees shall (provided such majority includes a trust corporation) be competent to execute and exercise all the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested by these presents in the Trustee generally.
28.	Appointment of New Trustees
	(A)	THE power of appointing new trustees shall be vested in the Issuers but, subject to sub-clause (B) of this Clause, no person shall be appointed as Trustee in relation to any Series who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Holders of Notes of that Series. A trust corporation may be appointed sole trustee of the presents but subject thereto there shall be at least two trustees of these presents one at least of which shall be a trust corporation. Any appointment of a new trustee hereof shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the Issuers to the Paying Agents, the Registrars and to the Noteholders. The Noteholders shall together have the power, exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution, to remove any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents. The removal of any trustee shall not become

		effective unless there remains a trustee of these presents (being a trust corporation) in office after such removal.
	(B)	Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause (A) of this Clause, the Trustee may, upon giving prior notice to but without the consent of the Issuers or the Guarantors or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders (or, as the case may be, the Holders of Notes, Receipts or Coupons of any one or more Series), appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a trust corporation or not) to act either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Trustee (i) if the Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Holders of the Notes of the relevant Series or (ii) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed. The Issuers hereby irrevocably appoint the Trustee to be their attorney in their name and on their behalf to execute any such instrument of appointment. Such person shall (subject always to the provisions of these presents) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Trustee by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred on or imposed by the instrument of appointment (which shall include all relevant obligations which are imposed on the Trustee). The Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration as the Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee, shall for the purposes of these presents be treated as costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee.
29.	Retirement of Trustees
	(A)	ANY Trustee for the time being of these presents may retire at any time upon giving not less than three months’ notice in writing to each Issuer and each Guarantor without assigning any reason and without being responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement. The retirement of any Trustee shall not become effective unless there remains a trustee of the presents (being a trust corporation) in office after such retirement. Each of the Issuers covenants that in the event of a trustee giving such notice under this Clause it shall use its best endeavours to procure a new trustee to be appointed.
	(B)	Where there are outstanding separate Series of Notes constituted by this Deed the powers conferred upon the Issuers and the Guarantors, the Noteholders and the Trustee by Clause 27 and sub-clause (A) of this Clause 28 shall, at the discretion of the person exercising such power, be capable of being exercised, and

		shall be effective where so expressed to be exercised, to enable a new trustee to be appointed, a trustee to be removed, a trustee to retire and a separate trustee or co-trustee to be appointed separately in relation to each such separate Series of Notes as aforesaid, and “Trustee” as used in this Deed shall be construed accordingly. In the event of the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause (B) resulting in there being more than one Trustee at any one time, executed originals of this Deed and all other original documentation shall be held by or to the order of The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. if still trustee of any of the said separate Series of the Notes, or by such one of the trustees as the Issuers or Guarantors may, subject to any contrary direction of the Noteholders of the relevant Series by Extraordinary Resolution, from time to time designate.
30.	Powers of the Trustee are additional THE powers conferred by these presents upon the Trustee shall be in addition to any powers which may from time to time be vested in it by general law or as the Holder of any of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons.
31.	Currency Indemnity
	(A)	IF a judgment or order is rendered by a court of any particular jurisdiction for the payment of any amounts owing to the Trustee or any of the Noteholders, Receiptholders or, as the case may be, Couponholders under these presents or any of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons or under a judgment or order of a court of any other jurisdiction in respect thereof or for the payment of damages in respect of either thereof and any such judgment or order is expressed in a currency (in this Clause referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such amounts are so owing (the “relevant currency”) and the Trustee or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or, as the case may be, Couponholders do not have an option to have such judgment or order of such court expressed in the relevant currency, the relevant Issuer (failing which the relevant Guarantor(s)) shall be liable, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify and hold the Trustee and the Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation between (1) the rate of exchange applied in converting any amount expressed in the relevant currency into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and (2) the rate of exchange of the Judgment Currency for the relevant currency as at the date or dates of discharge of the said judgment or order.
	(B)	If as a result of any judgment expressed in a Judgment Currency as is referred to in sub-clause (A) of this Clause and a variation in rates of exchange as therein mentioned the amount

		received by the Trustee, if converted on the date of payment into the relevant currency, would yield a sum in excess of the sum (expressed in the relevant currency) due to the Trustee shall hold such excess to the order of the relevant Issuer.

This Temporary Global Note is issued in respect of [principal amount of Temporary Global Note] in principal amount of an issue of [aggregate principal amount of Series] in aggregate principal amount of [title of Notes] (the “Notes”) by [NAME OF ISSUER] (the “Issuer”) and has the benefit of the guarantee of [ ] (the “Guarantor[s]”) contained in the Trust Deed as defined below. The Notes are constituted by a trust deed dated 22nd July, 1994 (the “Trust Deed”, which expression shall include any amendments or supplements thereto) made between the Issuer and the other parties named therein as issuers, the Guarantor[s] and the other parties named therein as guarantors and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c.

The Issuer for value received promises, all in accordance with the Conditions (as defined in the Trust Deed) and the pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”) prepared in relation to the Notes to pay to the bearer upon surrender hereof on [maturity date] [by [ ] [equal] successive [semi-annual/quarterly/other] instalments on the dates specified in the Conditions]²or on such earlier date as the same may become payable in accordance therewith the principal sum of [denomination in words and numerals] [(as reduced from time to time in accordance with the Conditions)] or such other redemption amount as may be specified therein [and to pay in arrear on the dates specified therein interest on such principal amount at the rate or rates specified therein] all subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

Except as specified herein, the bearer of this Temporary Global Note is entitled to the benefit of the same obligations on the part of the Issuer as if such bearer were the bearer of the Notes represented hereby, and all payments under and to the bearer of this Temporary Global Note shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the corresponding liabilities of the Issuer in respect of the Notes.

If interests in a Temporary Global Note are exchanged for a Permanent Global Note as provided in this paragraph, interests in such Permanent Global Note may thereafter be exchanged for Definitive Notes or Registered Notes, as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. An exchange for Registered Notes will be made at any time upon presentation or, as the case may be, surrender of this Temporary Global Note together with a list of the names and addresses of the person(s) to be registered holders of the Registered Notes and the size of their respective holdings to the Principal Paying Agent.

¹[ ]

This Global Note is issued in respect of [principal amount of Global Note] in principal amount of an issue of [aggregate principal amount of Series] in aggregate principal amount of [title of Notes] (the “Notes”) by [NAME OF ISSUER] (the “Issuer”) and has the benefit of the guarantee (the “Guarantee”) of [ ] (the “Guarantor[s]”) contained in the Trust Deed as defined below. The Notes are constituted by a trust deed dated 22nd July, 1994 (the “Trust Deed”, which expression shall include any amendments or supplements thereto) made between the Issuer and the other parties named therein as issuers, the Guarantor[s] and the other parties named therein as guarantors and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. as trustee (the “Trustee”, which expression shall include any successor to The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. in its capacity as such for the holders of the Notes from time to time).

The Issuer for value received promises, all in accordance with the Conditions (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Notes and the pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”) prepared in relation to the Notes, to pay to the bearer upon surrender hereof on [maturity date] [by [ ] [equal] successive [semi-annual/quarterly/other] instalments on the dates specified in the Conditions]²or on such earlier date as the same may become payable in accordance therewith the principal sum of [denomination in words and numeral] [(as reduced from time to time in accordance with the Conditions)] or such other redemption amount as may be specified therein [and to pay in arrear on the dates specified therein interest on such principal amount at the rate or rates specified therein], all subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

The bearer of this Global Note is entitled to the benefit of the same obligations on the part of the Issuer as if such bearer were the bearer of the Notes represented hereby, and all payments under and to the bearer of this Global Note shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the corresponding liabilities of the Issuer in respect of the Notes.

¹ Insert names of Guarantor(s).
² Insert only where Notes are Instalment Notes.

If so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, this Global Note is exchangeable in whole (but not in part only) for definitive Notes (“Definitive Notes”) in substantially the form (subject to completion) set out in the Third Schedule to the Trust Deed and/or if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement for registered notes (“Registered Notes”) in substantially the form (subject to completion) set out in the Fourth Schedule to the Trust Deed upon the exercise of the relevant option by the bearer hereof and, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, at the cost of the Issuer. In order to exercise such option, the bearer hereof must, not less than forty-five days before the date upon which the delivery of such Definitive Notes or Registered Notes is required, deposit this Global Note with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”) which expression shall include any successor to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in its capacity as such) at its specified office with the form of exchange endorsed hereon duly completed. This Global Note will, in any event, be exchangeable in whole, but not in part, (at the cost of the Issuer) for Definitive Notes and/or Registered Notes if any Note becomes due and repayable following an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 10A) and is not duly redeemed (and the funds required for such redemption are not available to the Principal Paying Agent for the purposes of affecting such redemption) by 6.00 p.m. (London time) on the thirtieth day after the time at which such Notes become immediately redeemable, or if either Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System or Clearstream Banking société anonyme or the operator of any other relevant clearing system should cease to operate as a clearing system (other than by reason of public holidays) or should announce an intention permanently to cease business, and it shall not be practicable to transfer the Notes to another clearing system within 90 days. Any Registered Notes shall be made available in exchange in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to the Notes represented hereby and by the provisions of the Paying Agency Agreement dated 22nd July, 1994 made, inter alia, between the Issuer and the other parties named therein as issuers, the Guarantor[s] and the other parties thereto named as guarantors, the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent and the various agents and the registrar named therein (which shall apply as if the bearer of this Global Note were the bearer of the Notes represented hereby).

[On any occasion on which a payment of interest is made in respect of this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that the same is noted on the Schedule hereto.]

On any occasion on which a payment of principal or redemption amount is made in respect of this Global Note or on which this Global Note is exchanged as aforesaid or on which any Notes represented by this Global Note are to be cancelled, the Issuer shall procure that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such payment is made (or, in the case of a partial payment, the corresponding part thereof) or which are delivered in definitive form or which are to be cancelled and (ii) the remaining principal amount of this Global Note (which shall be the previous principal amount hereof less the amount referred to at (i) above) are noted on the

Schedule hereto, whereupon the principal amount of this Global Note shall for all purposes be as most recently so noted.

Insofar as the Temporary Global Note by which the Notes were initially represented has been exchanged in part only for this Global Note and is then to be further exchanged as to the remaining principal amount or part thereof for this Global Note, then upon presentation of this Global Note to the Principal Paying Agent at its specified office in relation to the Notes and to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of such Temporary Global Note is then reduced by reason of such further exchange, the Issuer shall procure that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such further exchange is then made and (ii) the new principal amount of this Global Note (which shall be the previous principal amount hereof plus the amount referred to at (i) above) are noted on the Schedule hereto, whereupon the principal amount of this Global Note shall for all purposes be as most recently noted.

This Global Note is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, English law.

[The Issuer has, in the Trust Deed, agreed for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes that the courts of England shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action, proceedings which may arise out of or in connection with the Trust Deed or the Notes (“Proceedings”) and, for such purposes, irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of such courts. The Issuer has, in the Trust Deed, agreed that the process by which any Proceedings in England are begun may be served on it by being posted in a prepaid registered or recorded delivery letter addressed to it at the address set out in Clause 31 of the Trust Deed for the time being of Unilever PLC. Nothing contained herein or in the Trust Deed shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of England shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes or 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) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.]¹

The Issuer has, in the Trust Deed, agreed that the process by which any Proceedings in England are begun may be served on it by being posted in a prepaid registered or recorded delivery letter addressed to it at the address set out in Clause 31 of the Trust Deed of Unilever PLC.

THE FIFTH SCHEDULE

Terms and Conditions of the Notes

The following is the text of the terms and conditions of the Notes which (subject to completion and amendment) will be applicable to each Tranche of Notes provided, however, that the relevant Pricing Supplement in relation to any Tranche of Notes may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with these terms and conditions, replace the following terms and conditions for the purposes of such Tranche of Notes.

The Notes are constituted by a trust deed dated 22nd July, 1994 (the “Trust Deed”, which expression shall include any amendments or supplements thereto or any restatement thereof) made between Unilever N.V. (“N.V.”), Unilever PLC (“PLC”) and Unilever Capital Corporation (“UCC”) (the “Issuers” and each an “Issuer”, which expression shall include any Group Company (as defined below) which becomes an Issuer as contemplated by Condition 15), N.V., PLC and Unilever United States, Inc. (“UNUS”) as guarantors of the Notes as hereinafter described (the “Guarantors”) and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the “Trustee”, which expression shall include any successor to The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. in its capacity as such) as trustee for the holders of each Series of the Notes (the “Noteholders”). Pursuant to the Trust Deed, the Notes issued by (i) N.V. are guaranteed unconditionally and irrevocably by PLC, (ii) PLC are guaranteed unconditionally and irrevocably by N.V., and (iii) UCC are guaranteed unconditionally and irrevocably on a joint and several basis by N.V., PLC and UNUS.

Certain statements herein are summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed, which includes the form of the Notes and of the interest coupons, if any, appertaining to the Notes (the “Coupons”) and the receipts, if any, in respect of instalments of principal (the “Receipts”). The Notes, the Coupons and the Receipts also have the benefit of a Paying Agency Agreement dated 22nd July, 1994 (the “Paying Agency Agreement”, which expression shall include any amendments or supplements thereto or any restatement thereof) made between N.V., PLC, UCC and UNUS in their capacities as Issuers and Guarantors, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as principal paying agent (the “Principal Paying Agent”, which expression shall include any successor to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in its capacity as such and any substitute or additional principal paying agent appointed in accordance with the Paying Agency Agreement) and as principal registrar (the “Principal Registrar”, which expression shall include any successor to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in its capacity as such), the paying agents named therein (the “Paying Agents”, which expression shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the Principal Paying Agent and any substitute or additional paying agents appointed in accordance with the Paying Agency Agreement) and the Trustee. Noteholders and the holders of the Coupons (the “Couponholders”) and the holders of Receipts (the “Receiptholders”) are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Paying Agency Agreement. Copies of the Trust Deed and the Paying Agency Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered office for the time being of the Trustee (being at the date of this Information Memorandum at Fifth Floor, 100 Wood Street, London EC2V 7EX) and at the specified office of each of the Paying Agents and the Registrars (as defined in Condition 5(b)).

The Notes are issued in series (each a “Series”), and each Series may comprise one or more tranches (“Tranches” and each a “Tranche”) of Notes. Each Tranche will be the subject of a pricing supplement (a “Pricing Supplement”) prepared by, or on behalf of, the Issuer a copy of which will, in the case of a Tranche of Notes which is to be listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the “UKLA”) and/or the Official Segment of the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam N.V. (“Euronext Amsterdam”), be lodged with the UKLA and the London Stock Exchange and/or Euronext Amsterdam and be available for inspection at the specified office of each of the Paying Agents appointed in respect of such Notes or, as the case may be, the Registrar and, in the case of a Tranche of Notes which is not to be listed on the Official List of the UKLA or Euronext Amsterdam or any other stock exchange, a copy of which will only be available for inspection at the specified office of each of the Paying Agents appointed in respect of such Notes or, as the case may be, the Registrar by a Holder (as defined in Condition 5(a)) or, as the case may be, a Relevant Account Holder (as defined in the Trust Deed) in respect of such Notes.

In these Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise expressly stated, references to Notes are to Notes of the relevant Series (and, where the context permits, shall be deemed to include Receipts appertaining to such Notes), references to Receipts are references to Receipts appertaining to Notes of the relevant Series, references to Coupons are to Coupons appertaining to Notes of the relevant Series, references to

the Issuer are to the Issuer of such Notes, references to the Guarantor(s) are references to the Guarantor or Guarantors (as the case may be) of such Issuer’s obligations under such Notes and references to the Paying Agents are references to the Paying Agents appointed in respect of such Notes. Subject thereto, capitalised terms shall, unless defined herein, have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust Deed.

1. FORM AND DENOMINATION

(a) Notes are issued in bearer form or in registered form, as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. This Note is a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note, a Variable Coupon Amount Note, a High Interest Note, a Low Interest Note, a Step-up Note or a Step-down Note depending upon the Interest Basis shown on its face, and a Fixed Redemption Amount Note or a Variable Redemption Amount Note depending on the Redemption Basis shown on its face. All payments in respect of this Note shall be made in the currency shown on its face unless it is stated on its face to be a Dual Currency Note (which for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions shall include Reverse Dual Currency Notes, Optional Dual Currency Notes, and any other Note in respect of which payments shall or may, at the option of the Issuer or any Holder, be made in more than one currency), in which case payments shall or may be made at the option and on the basis stated in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Form of Bearer Notes

(b) Each Tranche of Notes issued in bearer form (“Bearer Notes”) will be represented upon issue by a temporary global note (a “Temporary Global Note”) in substantially the form (subject to amendment and completion) scheduled to the Trust Deed. On or after the date (the “Exchange Date”) which is 40 days after the completion of distribution of the Notes of the relevant Tranche and provided certification as to the beneficial ownership thereof as required by U.S. Treasury regulations (in the form set out in the Temporary Global Note or such other form as may replace it) has been received, interests in the Temporary Global Note may be exchanged for:

(i)	interests in a permanent global note (a “Permanent Global Note”) representing the Notes of that Tranche and in substantially the form (subject to amendment and completion) scheduled to the Trust Deed; or
(ii)	definitive Notes in bearer form (“Definitive Notes”) which will be serially numbered and in substantially the form (subject to amendment and completion) scheduled to the Trust Deed and, in the case of a Series comprising both Bearer Notes and Notes in registered form (“Registered Notes”), Registered Notes in global or definitive form.

If interests in the Temporary Global Note are exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global Note pursuant to clause (i) above, interests in such Permanent Global Note may thereafter be exchanged for Notes described in clause (ii) above.

Each exchange of an interest in a Temporary Global Note for an interest in a Permanent Global Note or for a Definitive Note, and each exchange of an interest in a Permanent Global Note for a Definitive Note, shall be made outside the United States.

(c) If any date on which a payment of interest is due on the Notes of a Tranche occurs while any of the Notes of that Tranche are represented by the Temporary Global Note, the related interest payment will be made on the Temporary Global Note only to the extent that certification as to the beneficial ownership thereof as required by U.S. Treasury regulations (in the form set out in the Temporary Global Note or such other form as may replace it) has been received by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) or any other relevant clearing system. Payments of principal or interest (if any) on a Permanent Global Note will be made through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg without any requirement for certification.

(d) If so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, interests in a Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable in whole (but not in part only), at the option of the Holder of such Permanent Global Note and, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, at the Issuer’s cost, for Definitive Notes and/or (in the case of a Series comprising both Bearer and Registered Notes) Registered Notes in global or definitive form. In order to exercise such option, the Holder must, not less than 45 days before the date on which delivery of Definitive Notes or, as the case may be, Registered Notes in global or definitive form is required, deposit the relevant Permanent

Global Note with the Principal Paying Agent with the form of exchange notice endorsed thereon duly completed. Interests in a Permanent Global Note will, in any event, be exchangeable in whole (but not in part only) at the cost of the Issuer, for Definitive Notes and/or, as the case may be, Registered Notes (i) if any Note of the relevant Series becomes due and repayable following a Default (as defined in Condition 10A), or (ii) if either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other relevant clearing system should cease to operate as a clearing system (other than by reason of public holiday) or should announce an intention permanently to cease business and it shall not be practicable to transfer the relevant Notes to another clearing system within 90 days.

(e) Interest-bearing Definitive Notes will, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, have endorsed thereon a grid for the recording of the payment of interest or have attached thereto at the time of their initial delivery Coupons presentation of which will be a prerequisite to the payment of interest in certain circumstances specified below. Interest-bearing Definitive Notes, if specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as having Coupons attached, will also, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and shall, in the case of such Undated Notes (as defined in Condition 7(b)) or long-dated Notes, have attached thereto, at the time of their initial delivery, a talon (a “Talon”) for further coupons and the expression “Coupons” shall, where the context so permits, include Talons. Definitive Notes, the principal amount of which is repayable by instalments (“Instalment Notes”), will have endorsed thereon a grid for recording the repayments of principal or have attached thereto at the time of their initial delivery Receipts presentation of which will be a prerequisite to the repayment of the relevant instalment in certain circumstances specified below.

(f) The following legend will appear on all Bearer Notes with maturities of more than 183 days and (in the case of Definitive Notes) on Receipts, Coupons and Talons appertaining thereto:

“Any United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of the United States) who holds this obligation will be subject to the limitations under the United States income tax laws, including the limitations provided in Sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.”

The Internal Revenue Code sections referred to above provide that United States holders, with certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss on Notes, Receipts or Coupons and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment in respect of any gain recognised on any sale, disposition, redemption or payment of principal in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons.

The following legend will appear on Notes issued by Unilever Capital Corporation with maturities of 183 days or less and (in the case of Definitive Notes) on Receipts, Coupons and Talons appertaining thereto:

“By accepting this obligation, the holder represents and warrants that it is not a United States person (other than an exempt recipient described in Section 6049(b) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States and the regulations thereunder) and that it is not acting for or on behalf of a United States person (other than an exempt recipient described in Section 6049(b) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder).”

Form of Registered Notes

(g) Registered Notes will be in substantially the form (subject to amendment and completion) scheduled to the Trust Deed. Registered Notes will not be exchangeable for Bearer Notes. Notes purchased in a private placement in the United States will be Registered Notes. Registered Notes in global form (“DTC Notes”) may be deposited with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in New York.

Denomination of Bearer Notes

(h) Subject to any then applicable legal and regulatory requirements, Bearer Notes will be in the denomination or denominations (each of which denominations must be integrally divisible by each smaller denomination) specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement; provided, however, that in the case of Bearer Notes issued by Unilever Capital Corporation with a maturity of 183 days or less, the minimum denomination for a Definitive Note or an interest in a Global Note shall be U.S.$500,000 (or the equivalent thereof at exchange rates applicable on the issue date of such Note). Bearer Notes of one

denomination will not be exchangeable, after their initial delivery, for Bearer Notes of any other denomination.

Denomination of Registered Notes

(i) Subject to any then applicable legal and regulatory requirements, Registered Notes will be in the minimum denomination specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement or integral multiples thereof. Registered Notes sold pursuant to Section 4(2) of the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) will be subject to a minimum denomination of U.S.$500,000.

Currency of Notes

(j) Notes may be denominated in any currency (including, without limitation, the euro (as defined in Condition 8D(3)) subject to compliance with all applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

References to “Notes”

(k) For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, references to “Notes” shall, as the context may require, be deemed to be to Temporary Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes, Definitive Notes, Registered Notes or, as the case may be, DTC Notes.

The Depository Trust Company

(l) Registered Notes denominated in United States Dollars will, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, be the subject of an application by the Issuer to DTC for the acceptance of such Registered Notes in global form into DTC’s book-entry settlement system. If such application is accepted, one or more such DTC Notes in denominations equivalent in aggregate to the aggregate principal amount of relevant Registered Notes which are to be held in such system will be issued to and deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other person as may be nominated by DTC for the purpose, as nominee for DTC provided that no DTC Note may have a denomination of more than U.S.$400,000,000 and that, subject to such restriction, DTC Notes will always be issued in the largest possible denomination. Thereafter, such registered nominee will be the holder of record and entitled to rights in respect of each DTC Note. Accordingly, each person having a beneficial interest in a DTC Note must rely on the procedures of the participants having accounts with DTC (the “Participants”) to exercise any rights of such person. So long as Registered Notes are traded through DTC’s book-entry settlement system, ownership of the beneficial interest in the relevant DTC Note will (unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulatory requirement) be shown in, and transfers of such beneficial interest may be effected only through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its registered nominee (as to participant-interests as defined in DTC’s Rules and Regulations), or (ii) Participants having accounts with DTC, unless and until such time as definitive Registered Notes may be issued as described below.

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organised under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organisation” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). DTC holds securities that its Participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the clearance and settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerised book-entry changes in Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organisations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to procedures established by DTC (i) upon issuance of the DTC Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of designated Participants with the principal amounts of Registered Notes purchased, and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the DTC Notes will be shown in, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants’ interests), Participants and Indirect Participants. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities which they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the DTC Notes will be limited to such extent.

Upon receipt of any payment with respect to the Registered Notes, DTC will credit immediately the accounts of the Participants with such payment in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of interests in the DTC Notes as shown in the records of DTC. Payments by Participants and Indirect Participants to owners of beneficial interests in the DTC Notes in respect thereof will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of the Participants or Indirect Participants.

Registered Notes in definitive form will be issued to holders of interests in the DTC Notes if: (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as holder with respect to the DTC Notes or if at any time it ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days; (ii) an Event of Default under the Trust Deed occurs and is continuing; or (iii) at any time the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that definitive Registered Notes shall be issued.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the DTC Notes among Participants, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Issuers, Guarantors, other Group Companies (as hereinafter defined), the Trustee, the Registrar or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or the Participants or the Indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

2. STATUS OF THE NOTES

Subject to Condition 4, the Notes constitute direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and (subject as aforesaid) rank and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer (other than obligations preferred by law).

3. STATUS OF THE GUARANTEE

Subject to Condition 4, the obligations of the Guarantor(s) under the guarantee(s) constitute unsecured obligations of such Guarantor(s) and (subject as aforesaid) rank and will rank (subject to any obligations preferred by law) pari passu with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantor(s).

4. NEGATIVE PLEDGE

So long as any Notes remain outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed), neither N.V. nor PLC will create or have outstanding any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest upon the whole or any substantial part of its undertaking or assets (including any uncalled capital), present or future, to secure any Indebtedness of any person (or any guarantee or indemnity given in respect thereof) unless the Notes and the Coupons shall be secured by such mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest equally and rateably therewith in the same manner or in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee or such other security for the Notes and Coupons shall be provided as the Trustee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem not less beneficial to the Noteholders or as shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed) of Noteholders provided that the restriction contained in this Condition shall not apply to:

(i)	any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest arising solely by mandatory operation of law; and

100

(ii)	any security over assets of N.V. or, as the case may be, PLC arising pursuant to the Algemene Voorwaarden (general terms and conditions) of the Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken (Dutch Bankers’ Association) and/or similar terms applied by financial institutions, if and insofar as applicable.

For the purposes of this Condition:

“Indebtedness” means any loan or other indebtedness in the form of, or represented by, bonds, notes, debentures or other securities which at the time of issue thereof either is, or is intended to be, quoted, listed or ordinarily dealt in on any stock exchange, over-the-counter or other recognised securities market and which by its terms has an initial stated maturity of more than one year; and

“substantial” means, in relation to each of N.V. and PLC, an aggregate amount equal to or greater than 25 per cent. of the aggregate value of the fixed assets and current assets of N.V., PLC and their group companies (being those companies required to be consolidated in accordance with Netherlands and United Kingdom legislative requirements relating to consolidated accounts) (the “Unilever Group”, and any company within the Unilever Group being referred to herein as a “Group Company”), such value and such assets being determined by reference to the then most recently published audited consolidated balance sheet of the Unilever Group. A report by the Auditors (as defined in the Trust Deed) that, in their opinion, (1) the amounts shown in a certificate provided by N.V. and PLC (showing the fixed assets and current assets of the relevant part and those fixed assets and current assets expressed as a percentage of the fixed assets and current assets of the Unilever Group) have been accurately extracted from the accounting records of the Unilever Group, and (2) the percentage of the fixed assets and current assets of that part to the fixed assets and the current assets of the Unilever Group has been correctly calculated, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

5. TITLE

(a) Title to Bearer Notes and Coupons will pass by delivery. References herein to the “Holders” of Bearer Notes, Receipts or Coupons signify the bearers of such Bearer Notes, Receipts or such Coupons.

(b) Title to Registered Notes will pass by registration in the register which is kept by the registrar specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement in relation to the relevant Series of Registered Notes (the “Registrar”). References herein to the “Holders” of Registered Notes are to the persons in whose names such Registered Notes are so registered in the relevant register.

(c) The Issuer, the Guarantor(s), the Trustee, the Paying Agents and the Registrar may deem and treat the Holder of any Bearer Note, Receipt, Coupon or Registered Note as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Note, Receipt or Coupon shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of any previous loss or theft thereof or any express or constructive notice of any claim by any other person of any interest therein other than, in the case of a Registered Note, a duly executed transfer of such Note in the form endorsed thereon) for the purpose of making payments and for all other purposes.

Transfer of Registered Notes

(d) A Registered Note may, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Paying Agency Agreement, be transferred in whole or in part only (provided that such part is, or is an integral multiple of, the minimum denomination specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) upon the surrender of the Registered Note to be transferred, together with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed, at the specified office of the Registrar. A new Registered Note will be issued to the transferee and, in the case of a transfer of part only of a Registered Note, a new Registered Note in respect of the balance not transferred will be issued to the transferor.

Exchange of Bearer Notes for Registered Notes

(e) If so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, the Holder of any Bearer Notes may exchange the same for the aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes upon the terms and subject to the conditions and regulations set forth in the Paying Agency Agreement. In order to exchange a Bearer Note for a Registered Note, the Holder thereof shall surrender such Bearer Note at

101

the specified office outside the United States of the Principal Paying Agent or of the Registrar together with a written request for the exchange. Each Bearer Note so surrendered must be accompanied by all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto other than the Coupon in respect of the next payment of interest falling due after the exchange date (as defined in Condition 5(h)) where the exchange date would, but for the provisions of Condition 5(g) occur between the Record Date (as defined in Condition 8B(3)), for such payment of interest and the date on which such payment of interest falls due.

General Provisions relating to Transfer and Exchange

(f) Each new Registered Note to be issued upon the transfer of a Registered Note or the exchange of a Bearer Note for a Registered Note will, within three Relevant Banking Days (as defined below) of the transfer date or, as the case may be, the exchange date and upon the effective receipt of such form of transfer or written request for exchange by the Registrar at its specified office or, in the case of a written request for exchange made to the Principal Paying Agent, by the Principal Paying Agent at its specified office, be available for delivery at the specified office of the Registrar or, as the case may be, the Principal Paying Agent.

(g) No Holder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered or a Bearer Note to be exchanged for a Registered Note (i) during the period of 15 days ending on the due date for any payment of any principal on that Note, (ii) during the period of 60 days prior to any date on which Notes of the relevant Series may be redeemed by the Issuer at its option pursuant to Condition 7(d) or (iii) after any such Note has been drawn for redemption in whole or in part. A Bearer Note called for redemption may, however, be exchanged for a Registered Note which is simultaneously surrendered for redemption (such redemption to take place on the relevant redemption date) not later than the relevant Record Date.

(h) For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions:

(i)	“Relevant Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the place where the specified office of the Registrar is located and, in the case only of an exchange of a Bearer Note for a Registered Note where such request for exchange is made to the Principal Paying Agent, in the place where the specified office of the Principal Paying Agent is located;
(ii)	the “exchange date” shall be the Relevant Banking Day following the day on which the relevant Bearer Note shall have been surrendered for exchange in accordance with Condition 5(e); and
(iii)	the “transfer date” shall be the Relevant Banking Day following the day on which the relevant Registered Note shall have been surrendered for transfer in accordance with Condition 5(d) and all reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the Registrar shall have been satisfied in respect of such transfer.

(i) The issue of new Registered Notes on the transfer of Registered Notes or the exchange of Bearer Notes for Registered Notes will be effected without charge (or (in the case of unlisted Notes) upon payment of such charge (if any) as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) by, or on behalf of, the Issuer, the Principal Paying Agent or the Registrar, but upon payment by the applicant of (or the giving by the applicant of such indemnity as the Issuer, the Principal Paying Agent or the Registrar may require in respect of) any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed in relation thereto and the expenses of delivery otherwise than by ordinary post.

(j) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Registered Notes of any Series bearing the private placement legend (the “Private Placement Legend”) set forth in the form of Registered Note scheduled to the Trust Deed, the Registrar shall deliver only Registered Notes of such Series that also bear such legend unless either:

(i)	such transfer, exchange or replacement occurs one or more years after the later of (1) the original issue date of the Notes of such Series or (2) the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliates (as defined below) of the Issuer as notified to the Registrar by the Issuer as

102

provided in the following sentence, was the beneficial owner of such Note (or any predecessor of such Note); or

(ii)

there is delivered to the Registrar an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, of United States counsel experienced in giving opinions with respect to questions arising under the securities laws of the United States to the effect that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of such laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor(s) covenants and agrees that it will not acquire any beneficial interest, and will cause its “affiliates” (as defined in paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) not to acquire any beneficial interest, in any Registered Note bearing the Private Placement Legend unless it notifies the Registrar of such acquisition. The Registrar and all Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely without further investigation on any such notification (or lack thereof).

(k) For so long as any of the Registered Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend remains outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and the relevant Pricing Supplement specifies that such Notes will be eligible for resale in the United States to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, each of the Issuer and the Guarantor(s) covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, make available to any Holder of such Notes in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Notes from such Holder, in each case upon request, the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

6. INTEREST

Notes may be interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing, as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. The Pricing Supplement in relation to each Tranche of interest-bearing Notes shall specify which one (and one only) of Conditions 6A, 6B, 6C or 6D shall be applicable and Condition 6E will be applicable to each Tranche of interest-bearing Notes as specified therein, save, in each case, to the extent inconsistent with the relevant Pricing Supplement.

6A. Interest – Fixed Rate

Notes, in relation to which this Condition 6A is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, shall bear interest from their date of issue (the “Issue Date”) (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) or from such other date as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement at the rate or rates per annum (or otherwise) (the “Fixed Rate of Interest”) specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. Such interest will be payable in arrear on such dates (the “Fixed Interest Payment Dates”) as are specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and on the date of final maturity thereof (the “Maturity Date”). The amount of interest payable in respect of any Note in relation to which this Condition 6A is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable shall be calculated by multiplying the product of the Fixed Rate of Interest and the principal amount of such Note by the applicable Day Count Fraction (as defined in Condition 6F(6)) as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If no Day Count Fraction is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement then, in the case of Notes denominated in any currency other than U.S. dollars, the applicable Day Count Fraction shall be Actual/Actual-ISMA (as defined in Condition 6F(6)(ii)) and, in the case of Notes denominated in U.S. dollars, the applicable Day Count Fraction shall be 30/360 (as defined in Condition 6F(6)(v)).

6B. Interest – Floating Rate

6B(1) Notes, in relation to which this Condition 6B is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, shall bear interest at the rates per annum (or otherwise) determined in accordance with this Condition 6B.

6B(2) Such Notes shall bear interest from their Issue Date (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) or from such other date as may be specified

103

in the relevant Pricing Supplement. Such interest will be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in Condition 6F(1)) and on the date of the final maturity thereof (the “Maturity Date”) (if any).

6B(3) The relevant Pricing Supplement, in relation to Notes in relation to which this Condition 6B is specified as being applicable, shall specify which page (the “Relevant Screen Page”), on the Reuters Screen or Telerate or any other information vending service, shall be applicable. For these purposes, “Reuters Screen” means the Reuters Money Market Rates Service and “Telerate” means the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying comparable rates in succession thereto).

6B(4) The rate of interest (the “Rate of Interest”) for each Interest Period (as defined in Condition 6F(1)) in relation to Notes in relation to which this Condition 6B is specified as being applicable shall be determined by the Determination Agent (being the Principal Paying Agent or such other agent as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) on the following basis:

(i)	the Determination Agent will determine the rate for deposits (or, as the case may require, the arithmetic mean of the rates for deposits rounded (if necessary) to the fourth decimal place, with 0.00005 being rounded upwards) in the relevant currency for a period of the duration of the relevant Interest Period according to the rate (or rates) appearing on the Relevant Screen Page as at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date (as defined in Condition 6B(6)). If five or more rates for deposits appear on the Relevant Screen Page as at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date, the highest (or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Determination Agent for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of such rates for deposits;
(ii)	if, on any Interest Determination Date, no such rate for deposits so appears (or, as the case may require, if fewer than three such rates for deposits so appear) or if the Relevant Screen Page (or any replacement therefor) is unavailable, the Determination Agent will request appropriate quotations and will determine the arithmetic mean of the rates at which deposits in the relevant currency are offered by four major banks in, in the case of Notes denominated in any currency other than euro, the London interbank market or, in the case of Notes denominated in euro, the Euro-zone interbank market (unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement), selected by the Determination Agent, at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in, in the case of Notes denominated in any currency other than euro, the London interbank market or, in the case of Notes denominated in euro, the Euro-zone interbank market (unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) for a period of the duration of the relevant Interest Period and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If two or more of such banks provide the Determination Agent with such quotations, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded (if necessary) to the fourth decimal place, with 0.00005 being rounded upwards) of such quotations. “Euro-zone” means the zone comprising the member states of the European Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty (as defined in Condition 8D(3)(vii));
(iii)	if, on any Interest Determination Date, only three such rates for deposits are so quoted by such banks, the Determination Agent will determine the arithmetic mean (rounded as aforesaid) of the rates so quoted; or
(iv)	if fewer than three or no rates are so quoted by such banks, the Determination Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Relevant Financial Centre (as defined in Condition 8C(2)) (or, in the case of Notes denominated in euro, in such financial centre or centres as the Determination Agent may select), selected by the Determination Agent, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Relevant Financial Centre time (or local time at such other financial centre or centres as aforesaid)) on the Interest Determination Date for

104

loans in the relevant currency to leading European banks for a period of the duration of the relevant Interest Period and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time,

and the Rate of Interest applicable to such Notes during each Interest Period will be the sum of the relevant margin (the “Relevant Margin”) specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and the rate (or, as the case may be, the arithmetic mean) so determined; provided that, if the Determination Agent is unable to determine a rate (or, as the case may be, an arithmetic mean) in accordance with the above provisions in relation to any Interest Period, the Rate of Interest applicable to such Notes during such Interest Period will be the sum of the Relevant Margin and the rate (or, as the case may be, the arithmetic mean) last determined in relation to such Notes in respect of the preceding Interest Period; and provided always that, if there is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement a minimum interest rate or a maximum interest rate, then the Rate of Interest shall in no event be less than or, as the case may be, exceed such minimum or maximum interest rate.

6B(5) The Determination Agent will, as soon as practicable after determining the Rate of Interest in relation to each Interest Period, calculate the amount of interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable in respect of the principal amount of each denomination of such Notes specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement for the relevant Interest Period. The Interest Amount will be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period and such principal amount by the applicable Day Count Fraction specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If no Day Count Fraction is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement then, in the case of Notes denominated in any currency other than sterling, the applicable Day Count Fraction shall be Actual/360 (as defined in Condition 6F(6)) and, in the case of Notes denominated in sterling, the applicable Day Count Fraction shall be Actual/Actual-ISDA (as defined in Condition 6F(6)).

6B(6) For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions:

(i)	“Interest Determination Date” means, in respect of any Interest Period, the date falling such number (if any) of London Banking Days or, as the case may be, TARGET Days as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement prior to the first day of such Interest Period or, if none is specified:
	(a)	in the case of Notes denominated in sterling, the first day of such Interest Period; or
	(b)	in the case of Notes denominated in euro, the date falling two TARGET Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period; or
	(c)	in any other case, the date falling two London Banking Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period;
(ii)	“London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London;
(iii)	“Relevant Time” means the time as of which any rate is to be determined as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement or, if none is specified:
	(a)	in the case of Notes denominated in euro, approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time); or
	(b)	in any other case, approximately 11.00 a.m. (London time); and
(iv)	“TARGET Day” means a day on which the TARGET System (as defined in Condition 8C(2)(iii)) is open.

6C. Interest – Swap-Related (ISDA)

6C(1) Notes, in relation to which this Condition 6C is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, shall bear interest at the rates per annum determined in accordance with this Condition 6C.

6C(2) Each such Note shall bear interest from its Issue Date (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) or from such other date as may be specified

105

in the relevant Pricing Supplement. Such interest will be payable on such dates and in such amounts as would have been payable (regardless of any event of default or termination event thereunder) by the Issuer had it entered into a swap transaction (to which there applied an Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Agreement and the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as amended and updated from time to time) (the “ISDA Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.), with the Holder of such Note under which:

— the first day of the relevant Interest Period was the Reset Date;

— the Issuer was the Fixed Rate Payer or, as the case may be, the Floating Rate Payer;

— the Determination Agent (or such other agent specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) was the Calculation Agent;

— the Issue Date (or such other date as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) was the Effective Date;

— the principal amount of such Note was the Calculation Amount; and

— all other terms were as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Capitalised terms used in this Condition 6C shall, where the context so requires, have the meanings ascribed to them in the ISDA Definitions.

6D. Interest – Other Rates

Notes, in relation to which this Condition 6D is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, shall bear interest at the rate or rates calculated on the basis specified in, and be payable in the amounts and in the manner determined in accordance with, the relevant Pricing Supplement.

6E. Interest – Supplemental Provision

Conditions 6F(1), 6F(2), 6F(3) and 6F(5) shall be applicable to all Notes which are interest-bearing in the manner specified therein and, as appropriate, in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

6F. Interest Payment Date Conventions

6F(1) The Pricing Supplement in relation to each Tranche of Notes to which Condition 6B is applicable shall specify which of the following conventions shall be applicable, namely:

(i)	the “FRN Convention”, in which case interest shall be payable in arrear on each date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) which numerically corresponds to their Issue Date or such other date as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement or, as the case may be, the preceding Interest Payment Date in the calendar month which is the number of months specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement after the calendar month in which such Issue Date or such other date as aforesaid or, as the case may be, the preceding Interest Payment Date occurred provided that:
	(a)	if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in which an Interest Payment Date should occur, then the relevant Interest Payment Date will be the last day which is a Business Day in that calendar month;
	(b)	if an Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, then the relevant Interest Payment Date will be the first following day which is a Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case it will be the first preceding day which is a Business Day; and
	(c)	if such Issue Date or such other date as aforesaid or the preceding Interest Payment Date occurred on the last day in a calendar month which was a Business Day, then all subsequent Interest Payment Dates will be the last day which is a Business Day in the calendar month which is the specified number of months after the calendar month in which such Issue Date or such other date as aforesaid or, as the case may be, the preceding Interest Payment Date occurred; or

106

(ii)

the “Modified Following Business Day Convention”, in which case interest shall be payable in arrear on such dates (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) as are specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement; provided that, if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a date which is not a Business Day, the relevant Interest Payment Date will be the first following day which is a Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the relevant Interest Payment Date will be the first preceding day which is a Business Day.

Each period beginning on (and including) such Issue Date or such other date as aforesaid and ending on (but excluding) the first Interest Payment Date and each period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date is herein called an “Interest Period”.

Notification of Rates of Interest, Interest Amounts and Interest Payment Dates

6F(2) The Determination Agent will cause each Rate of Interest, floating rate, Interest Payment Date, final day of an interest calculation period, Interest Amount, floating amount or other item, as the case may be, determined or calculated by it to be notified to the Issuer, the Guarantor(s), the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent and, in the case of Registered Notes, the Registrar (from whose respective specified offices such information will be available) and, in the case of Notes listed on the Official List of the UKLA and/or and/or Euronext Amsterdam any other stock exchange, cause each such Rate of Interest, floating rate, Interest Payment Date, final day of an interest calculation period, Interest Amount, floating amount or other item, as the case may be, to be notified to the UKLA, Euronext Amsterdam or such other stock exchange as soon as practicable after such determination but in any event not later than the fourth London Banking Day thereafter. The Determination Agent will be entitled (with the prior written consent of the Trustee) to amend any Interest Amount, floating amount, Interest Payment Date or final day of an interest calculation period (or to make appropriate alternative arrangements by way of adjustment) without prior notice in the event of the extension or abbreviation of the relevant Interest Period or an interest calculation period and such amendment or adjustment will be notified in accordance with the first sentence of this Condition 6F(2).

6F(3) The determination or calculation by the Determination Agent (or, failing such determination or calculation by the Determination Agent, the Trustee, pursuant to Condition 6F(4)) of all rates of interest and amounts of interest and other items falling to be determined or calculated by it for the purposes of this Condition 6 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Determination or Calculation by Trustee

6F(4) If the Determination Agent does not at any time for any reason determine the Rate of Interest or calculate any Interest Amount for an Interest Period, the Trustee shall do so and such determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been made by the Determination Agent. In doing so, the Trustee shall determine or calculate the relevant matter in such manner as, in its absolute discretion, it shall deem fair and reasonable in the circumstances (having such regard as it shall think fit to the procedures described above), but subject always to any maximum or minimum interest rate which may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, or, subject as aforesaid, apply the foregoing provisions of this Condition, with any necessary consequential amendments, to the extent that, in its sole opinion, it can do so and in all other respects it shall do so in such manner as it shall, in its absolute discretion, deem fair and reasonable in the circumstances.

Accrual of Interest

6F(5) Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of each Note or, in the case of an Instalment Note, on each instalment of principal or, in the case of a partly paid Note, on the paid up principal amount of such Note or otherwise as indicated in the relevant Pricing Supplement. Interest will cease to accrue as from the due date for redemption therefor (or, in the case of an Instalment Note, in respect of each instalment of principal, on the due date for payment thereof) unless (except in the case of any payment where presentation and/or surrender of the relevant Note is not required as a precondition of payment), upon due presentation or surrender thereof, payment in full of the principal amount or the relevant instalment or, as the case may be, redemption amount is

107

improperly withheld or refused, in which case interest shall continue to accrue thereon as provided in the Trust Deed.

6F(6) The applicable “Day Count Fraction” means, in respect of the calculation of an amount for any period of time (from and including the first day of such period to but excluding the last day of such period) whether or not constituting an Interest Period (a “Calculation Period”), such Day Count Fraction as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement or, if no Day Count Fraction is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, such Day Count Fraction as is specified in Condition 6A or Condition 6B(5), as the case may be, and:

(i)	if “Actual/365” or “Actual/Actual-ISDA” is so specified, means the actual number of days in such Calculation Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of such Calculation Period falls in a leap year, the sum of (a) the actual number of days in such portion of such Calculation Period falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (b) the actual number of days in such portion of such Calculation Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365);
(ii)	if “Actual/Actual-ISMA” is so specified:
	(a)	if such Calculation Period falls within a single Determination Period, means the actual number of days in such Calculation Period divided by the product of the number of days in the Determination Period in which it falls and the number of Determination Periods in any year; and
	(b)	if such Calculation Period does not fall within a single Determination Period, means the sum of (x) the actual number of days in such Calculation Period falling in the Determination Period in which it begins divided by the product of the actual number of days in that Determination Period and the number of Determination Periods in any year and (y) the actual number of days in such Calculation Period falling in the subsequent Determination Period divided by the product of the actual number of days in the subsequent Determination Period and the number of Determination Periods in any year.
	“Determination Period” means, in the case of Notes in relation to which Condition 6A is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, the period from, and including, a Fixed Interest Payment Date in any year to, and excluding, the next Fixed Interest Payment Date;

(iii)	if “Actual/365 (Fixed)” is so specified, means the actual number of days in such Calculation Period divided by 365;
(iv)	if “Actual/360” is so specified, means the actual number of days in such Calculation Period divided by 360;

(v)

if “30/360”, “360/360” or “Bond Basis” is so specified, means the number of days in such Calculation Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months (unless (a) the last day of such Calculation Period is the 31st day of a month but the first day of such Calculation Period is a day other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes the last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (b) the last day of such Calculation Period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered lengthened to a 30-day month)); and

(vi)

if “30E/360” or “Eurobond Basis” is so specified, means the number of days in such Calculation Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months, without regard to the date of the first day or last day of such Calculation Period unless, in the case of the final Calculation Period, the date of final maturity is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month.

7. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE

Final Redemption

108

(a) Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, Notes shall be redeemed at their principal amount (or at such other redemption amount as may be specified in, or determined in accordance with, the relevant Pricing Supplement) (or, in the case of Instalment Notes, in such amounts as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) on the date or dates (or, in the case of Notes which bear interest at a floating rate, on the date or dates upon which interest is payable) specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

No Fixed Maturity

(b) This Condition 7(b) is applicable to Notes with no specified maturity date (“Undated Notes”). There is no fixed date for redemption of Undated Notes and the Issuer shall (without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 10) only have the right to repay Undated Notes in accordance with such provisions of this Condition 7 as are specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Redemption for taxation reasons

(c) The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, upon not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ notice (specifying, in the case of Notes which bear interest at a floating rate, a date for such redemption which is an Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of such Notes at their principal amount (or such other redemption amount as may be specified in or determined in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the relevant Pricing Supplement) less, in the case of any Instalment Note, the aggregate amount of all instalments which shall have become due and payable prior to the date specified for such redemption in respect of such Note under any other Condition and which remain unpaid at such date, together with interest accrued (if any) thereon (calculated as provided in these Terms and Conditions and the Trust Deed) and, in the case of Undated Notes, arrears of interest (if any) in respect thereof to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, and, in any case, any additional amounts payable under Condition 9 or under any additional or substitute undertaking given pursuant to the Trust Deed provided that the Issuer or the Guarantor(s) shall provide to the Trustee an opinion in writing of a reputable firm of lawyers of good standing (such opinion to be in a form, and such firm to be a firm, to which the Trustee shall have no reasonable objection) to the effect that there is a substantial likelihood that the Issuer or such Guarantor(s) would be required to pay Additional Amounts in accordance with Condition 9 or under any additional or substitute undertaking given pursuant to the Trust Deed upon the next due date for a payment in respect of the Notes by reason of:

(i)	any actual or proposed change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or
(ii)	any actual or proposed change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings; or
(iii)	any action which shall have been taken by any taxing authority or any court of competent jurisdiction of The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the relevant Issuer or Guarantor; or
(iv)	any actual or proposed change in the official application or interpretation of, or any actual or proposed execution of, or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which The Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States is or is to be a party,

which change, amendment or execution becomes effective, or proposal is made, on or after the Issue Date of such Notes or any earlier date specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Optional Early Redemption (Call)

(d) If this Condition 7(d) is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, then the Issuer may, upon the expiry of the appropriate notice (as specified in Condition 7(e)) and subject to such conditions as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, redeem all (but not, unless and to the extent that the relevant Pricing Supplement specifies otherwise, some only) of the Notes at their call early redemption amount (which shall be their principal amount or such other call early redemption amount as may be specified in, or determined in accordance with, the relevant Pricing

109

Supplement) less, in the case of any Instalment Note, the aggregate amount of all instalments which shall have become due and payable prior to the date specified for such redemption in respect of such Note under any other Condition and which remain unpaid at such date, together with accrued interest (if any) thereon (calculated as provided in these Terms and Conditions and the Trust Deed) and, in the case of Undated Notes, arrears of interest (if any) in respect thereof to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (each, a “Call Early Redemption Amount”).

The Appropriate Notice

(e) The appropriate notice referred to in Condition 7(d) is a notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent (in the case of Bearer Notes) or the Registrar (in the case of Registered Notes) which notice shall be signed by an authorised signatory of the Issuer and shall specify:

— the Notes subject to redemption;

— (if the relevant Pricing Supplement specifies that some only of the Notes may be redeemed) whether Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part only and, if in part only,
      the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which are to be redeemed;

— the due date for such redemption, which shall be a Business Day (as defined in Condition 8C(2)) which shall be not less than 30 days (or such lesser period as may be
      specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) after the date on which such notice is validly given, which shall be, in the case of Notes which bear interest at a floating
      rate, an Interest Payment Date; and

— the Call Early Redemption Amount at which such Notes are to be redeemed.

Any such notice shall, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, be given not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, shall also be given to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with Condition 14, shall be irrevocable (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees), and the delivery thereof shall oblige the Issuer to make the redemption therein specified.

Partial Redemption

(f) If the Notes are to be redeemed in part only on any date in accordance with Condition 7(d):

— in the case of Bearer Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be drawn by lot in such European city as the Issuer and the Trustee may agree, or identified in such other
      manner or in such other place as the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, approve and deem appropriate and fair, subject always to compliance with all applicable laws
      and the requirements and procedures of any stock exchange on which the relevant Notes may be listed and of any clearing system in which the Notes are held; and

— in the case of Registered Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be redeemed (so far as may be practicable) pro rata to their principal amounts, subject always as aforesaid
      and provided always that the amount redeemed in respect of each Note shall be equal to the minimum denomination thereof or an integral multiple thereof.

Optional Early Redemption (Put)

(g) If this Condition 7(g) is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable, then the Issuer shall, upon the exercise of the relevant option by the Holder of any Note, redeem such Note on the date or the next of the dates specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement at its principal amount (or such other redemption amount as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) less, in the case of any Instalment Note, the aggregate amount of all instalments which shall have become due and payable prior to the date specified for such redemption in respect of such Note under any other Condition and which remain unpaid at such date, together with accrued interest (if any) thereon (calculated as provided in these Terms and Conditions and the Trust Deed) and, in the case of Undated Notes, arrears of interest (if any) in respect thereof to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. In order to

110

exercise such option, the Holder must, not less than 45 days before the date so specified (or such other period as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement), deposit the relevant Note (together, in the case of an interest-bearing Definitive Note, with any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto) with, in the case of a Bearer Note, any Paying Agent or, in the case of a Registered Note, the Registrar together with a duly completed redemption notice in the form which is available from the specified office of any of the Paying Agents or, as the case may be, of the Registrar.

Purchase of Notes

(h) The Issuer, the Guarantor(s) and any Group Company may at any time purchase Notes at any price in the open market or otherwise. If purchases are made by tender, tenders must be made available to all Noteholders alike.

Cancellation

(i) All Notes (together, in the case of interest-bearing Definitive Notes, with unmatured Coupons attached thereto or surrendered therewith and, in the case of Instalment Notes, with all unmatured Receipts attached thereto or surrendered therewith) redeemed in accordance with this Condition 7 or Condition 9 shall be cancelled forthwith and may not be reissued or resold, and Notes (together, in the case of interest-bearing Definitive Notes, with unmatured Coupons attached thereto or surrendered therewith and, in the case of Instalment Notes, with all unmatured Receipts attached thereto or surrendered therewith) purchased in accordance with this Condition 7 may, at the option of the purchaser, be cancelled, held or resold.

Conditions 8A and 8B shall be applicable as specified therein, and Condition 8C shall be applicable in any event.

8A. Payments – Bearer Notes

8A(1) This Condition 8A is applicable in relation to Notes specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being in bearer form.

8A(2) Payment of amounts (whether principal, redemption amount or otherwise and including accrued interest other than interest due against surrender of matured Coupons) due in respect of a Bearer Note will be made against presentation and (in the case of payments of instalments of principal other than on the due date for redemption) surrender of the relevant Receipts (provided that the Receipt is presented for payment together with its relative Note) or, in any other case, of the relevant Bearer Note at the specified office of any of the Paying Agents outside (unless Condition 8A(4) applies) the United States provided that such payment is not made into the United States or into an account maintained in the United States.

8A(3) Payment of amounts due in respect of interest on Bearer Notes will be made:

(i)	in the case of a Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global Note, against presentation of the relevant Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global Note at the specified office of any of the Paying Agents outside (unless Condition 8A(4) applies) the United States and, in the case of a Temporary Global Note, upon due certification as required therein;
(ii)	in the case of Definitive Notes without Coupons attached thereto at the time of their initial delivery, against presentation of the relevant Definitive Notes at the specified office of any of the Paying Agents outside (unless Condition 8A(4) applies) the United States; and
(iii)	in the case of Definitive Notes initially delivered with Coupons attached thereto, against surrender of the relevant Coupons at the specified office of any of the Paying Agents outside (unless Condition 8A(4) applies) the United States.

8A(4) Payments of amounts due in respect of interest on Bearer Notes and exchanges of Talons for Coupon sheets in accordance with Condition 8A(7) will not be made at the specified office of any Paying Agent in the United States (as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Regulations thereunder) unless:

111

(i)	payment in full of amounts due or, as the case may be, the exchange of Talons in respect of interest on such Notes when due at all the specified offices of the Paying Agents outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions;
(ii)	such payment or, as the case may be, exchange is permitted by applicable United States law; and
(iii)	the Bearer Notes are denominated in and payable in United States Dollars.

If paragraphs (i) to (iii) above apply, the Issuer and the Guarantor(s) shall forthwith appoint a further Paying Agent with a specified office in New York City.

8A(5) If the due date for payment of any amount due in respect of any Bearer Note is not both a Relevant Financial Centre Day and a local banking day, then the Holder thereof will not be entitled to payment thereof until the next day which is such a day and, thereafter, will be entitled to receive payment by cheque on any local banking day, and will be entitled to payment by transfer to a designated account, on any day which is a local banking day, a Relevant Financial Centre Day and a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the relevant currency in the place where the relevant designated account is located. No further payment on account of interest or otherwise shall be due in respect of such postponed payment unless there is subsequent failure to pay in accordance with these Terms and Conditions in which event interest shall continue to accrue as provided in Condition 6F(5). For the purpose of this Condition 8A(5), “Relevant Financial Centre Day” means, in the case of a currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the Relevant Financial Centre and any other place specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and, in the case of payment in euro, a TARGET Day and a “local banking day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in the place of presentation of the relevant Note or, as the case may be, Coupon.

8A(6) Each Definitive Note initially delivered with Coupons attached thereto shall be presented and, save in the case of partial redemption of such Note (including, in the case of an Instalment Note, payment of any instalment other than the final instalment), surrendered for final redemption together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, failing which:

(i)	in the case of Definitive Notes which bear interest at a fixed rate or rates, the amount of any missing unmatured Coupons (or, in the case of a payment not being made in full, that portion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon which that redemption amount paid bears to the total redemption amount due) (excluding for this purpose Talons) will be deducted from the amount otherwise payable on such final redemption, the principal amount so deducted being payable against surrender of the relevant Coupon at the specified office of any of the Paying Agents at any time within 10 years of the Relevant Date applicable to payment of such final redemption amount;
(ii)	in the case of Definitive Notes which bear interest at, or at a margin above or below, a floating rate or which are Dual Currency Notes or Variable Coupon Amount Notes, all unmatured Coupons relating to such Notes (whether or not surrendered therewith) shall become void and no payment shall be made thereafter in respect of them; and
(iii)	in the case of Definitive Notes which are Dual Currency Notes or Variable Coupon Amount Notes initially delivered with Talons attached thereto, all unmatured Talons shall become void forthwith and no exchange for Coupons shall be made thereafter in respect of them.

The provisions of paragraph (i) of this Condition 8A(6) notwithstanding, if any Definitive Notes which bear interest at a fixed rate or rates should be issued with a maturity date and a fixed rate or fixed rates such that, on the presentation for payment of any such Definitive Note without any unmatured Coupons attached thereto or surrendered therewith, the amount required by paragraph (i) to be deducted would be greater than the amount otherwise due for payment, then, upon the due date for redemption of any such Definitive Note, such unmatured Coupons (whether or not attached) being Coupons

112

representing an amount in excess of the relevant redemption amount shall become void (and no payment shall be made in respect thereof) as shall be required so that, upon application of the provisions of paragraph (i) in respect of such Coupons as have not so become void, the amount required by paragraph (i) to be deducted would not be greater than the amount otherwise due for payment. Where the application of the foregoing sentence requires some but not all of the unmatured Coupons relating to a Definitive Note to become void, the relevant Paying Agent shall determine which unmatured Coupons are to become void, and shall select for such purpose Coupons maturing on later dates in preference to Coupons maturing on earlier dates.

8A(7) In relation to Definitive Notes initially delivered with Talons attached thereto, on or after the due date for the payment of interest on which the final Coupon comprised in any Coupon sheet matures, the Talon comprised in the Coupon sheet may be surrendered at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside (unless Condition 8A(4) applies) the United States in exchange for a further Coupon sheet (including any appropriate further Talon), subject to the provisions of Condition 12 below. Each Talon shall, for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, be deemed to mature on the due date for the payment of interest on which the final Coupon comprised in the relative Coupon sheet matures.

8A(8) Payments of amounts due (whether principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise) in respect of Bearer Notes will be made by (a) transfer to an account in the relevant currency specified by the payee or (b) cheque in the relevant currency drawn on a bank in the Relevant Financial Centre provided, however, that in the case of (a), payment shall not be made to an account within the United States unless permitted by applicable U.S. tax law requirements.

8B. Payments – Registered Notes

8B(1) This Condition 8B is applicable in relation to Notes specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being in registered form.

8B(2) Payment of amounts due in respect of Registered Notes on the final redemption of Registered Notes will be made against presentation and, save in the case of partial payment of the amount due upon final redemption by reason of insufficiency of funds, surrender of the relevant Registered Notes at the specified office of the Registrar. If the due date for payment of the final redemption amount of Registered Notes is not both a Relevant Financial Centre Day and a local banking day, then the Holder thereof will not be entitled to payment thereof until the next day which is such a day and, thereafter, will be entitled to receive payment by cheque on any local banking day and will be entitled to payment by transfer to a designated account on any day which is a local banking day, a Relevant Financial Centre Day and a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the relevant currency in the place where the relevant designated account is located. No further payment on account of interest or otherwise shall be due in respect of such postponed payment unless there is a subsequent failure to pay in accordance with these Terms and Conditions in which event interest shall continue to accrue as provided in Condition 6F(5). For the purpose of this Condition 8B(2), “Relevant Financial Centre Day” means, in the case of any currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the Relevant Financial Centre and in any other place specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and in the case of a payment in euro a TARGET Day and a “local banking day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in the place of presentation of the relevant Registered Note.

8B(3) Payment of amounts (whether principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) due (other than in respect of the final redemption of Registered Notes) in respect of Registered Notes will be paid to the Holder thereof (or, in the case of joint Holders, the first-named) as appearing in the register kept by the Registrar as at the opening of business (local time in the place of the specified office of the Registrar) on the fifteenth Relevant Banking Day before the due date for such payment (the “Record Date”).

8B(4) Payment of amounts (whether principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) due (other than in respect of final redemption of Registered Notes) in respect of Registered

113

Notes will be made by cheque and posted to the address (as recorded in the register kept by the Registrar) of the Holder thereof (or, in the case of joint Holders, the first-named) on the Relevant Banking Day not later than the relevant date for payment unless prior to the relevant Record Date the Holder thereof (or, in the case of joint Holders, the first-named) has applied to the Registrar and the Registrar has acknowledged such application for payment to be made to a designated account in the relevant currency (being, in the case aforesaid, a non-resident account with an authorised foreign exchange bank).

In such event, the Issuer, or, as the case may be, the Guarantor(s), will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the holder of any Note, Receipt or, as the case may be, Coupon, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes, Receipts or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of such withholding or deduction, provided however that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(A)	by N.V. or PLC with respect to:
(i)	any Note, Receipt or Coupon presented for payment by, or on behalf of, a Holder who is liable to such taxes or duties in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon by reason of his having some connection with The Netherlands or, as the case may be, the United Kingdom other than the mere holding of such Note, Receipt or Coupon; or
(ii)	any payment in respect of a Note where the Holder thereof would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by making a declaration of nonresidence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority; or
(iii)	if presentment is required, any Note, Receipt or Coupon presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day; or

116

(iv)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment by N.V. or, as the case may be, PLC if such payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by any other Paying Agent; or
(v)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or
(vi)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to such Note, Receipt or Coupons; or
(vii)	any Note, Receipt or Coupon where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th to 27th November, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or
(viii)	any Note, Receipt or Coupon presented for payment by, or on behalf of, a Holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note, Receipt or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or
(ix)	any combination of (i) to (viii); or
(B)	by UCC or UNUS with respect to:
(i)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for (a) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been present therein, being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein, or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (b) the presentation of such Note, Receipt or Coupon for payment on a date more than 30 days after the Relevant Date; or
(ii)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or
(iii)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or Coupons; or
(iv)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Holder’s past or present status as a personal holding company or a foreign personal holding company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or as a passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax or as a foreign tax-exempt organisation or foreign private foundation with respect to the United States; or
(v)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is required to be withheld from payments of principal of, or interest on, the Notes, Receipts or Coupons due to the failure of the Holder of any Note, Receipt or Coupon appertaining thereto to provide certification, information or documentation at or prior to the time of payment with regard to the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note, Receipt or Coupon; or
(vi)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Holder’s (a) past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10 per cent. or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of UCC or UNUS (and, in respect of Guaranteed Notes, if at the time of the determination, payments on such Guaranteed Notes are actually being made by the Guarantor, the Guarantor), (b) receiving interest described in Section 881(c) (3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, or (c) being a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States that is related to the relevant Issuer

117

	(and, in respect of Guaranteed Notes, if at the time of the determination, payments on such Guaranteed Notes are actually made by the Guarantor, the Guarantor) by actual or constructive stock ownership; or
(vii)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note, if such payment can be made without withholding or deduction by any other Paying Agent; or
(viii)	any Note, Receipt or Coupon where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th to 27th November, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or
(ix)	any Note, Receipt or Coupon presented for payment by, or on behalf of, a Holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note, Receipt or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or
(x)	any combination of (i) to (ix);

nor, in any case, with respect to the Issuer or the Guarantor(s), shall Additional Amounts be paid to any Holder who is not the sole beneficial owner of such Note, Receipt or Coupon to the extent that a beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to payment thereof had such beneficial owner been the Holder of such Note, Receipt or Coupon.

As used herein, “Relevant Date” means whichever is the later of (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (ii) if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been made available to the Principal Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the Registrar on or prior to such date, the date on which, the full amount of such moneys having been made available, notice to that effect shall have been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14.

In the case of Notes issued by UCC, if UCC shall determine (the “Determination”), based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by UCC (such opinion to be in a form, and such firm to be a firm, to which the Trustee shall have no reasonable objection), that any payment made outside the United States by UCC or any of the Paying Agents of the full amount of the next scheduled payment of either principal or interest due in respect of any Bearer Note or Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States affecting taxation or otherwise, be subject to any certification, information or other reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which requirement is the disclosure to UCC, any of the Paying Agents or any United States governmental authority, of the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from disclosure of status as a United States alien) (as defined below) of a beneficial owner of such Bearer Note or Coupon who is a United States alien (other than such a requirement which (i) would not be applicable to a payment made to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or which can be satisfied by such a custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States alien, provided, however, that payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any requirement referred to in this sentence other than in the parenthesis thereof, (ii) is applicable only to payment to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to or on behalf of such beneficial owner, or (iii) would not be applicable to a payment made by any other Paying Agent), UCC shall redeem the Bearer Notes as a whole but not in part, on the redemption date stated in the Tax Notice referred to below, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof (or such other redemption amount as may be specified in or determined in accordance with the relevant Pricing Supplement) less, in the case of an Instalment Note, the aggregate amount of all instalments which shall have become due and payable prior to the date specified for such redemption in respect of such Note under any other Condition and which remains unpaid at such date together with accrued interest (if any) thereon (calculated as provided in these Terms and Conditions and in the Trust Deed) and, in the case of Undated Notes, arrears of interest (if any) in respect thereof to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. UCC shall make its Determination as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of an event that

118

would give rise to such a Determination, and shall give prompt notice of such Determination (a “Tax Notice”) in accordance with Condition 14, stating in the Tax Notice the effective date of such certification, information or other reporting requirement and, if applicable, the date by which the redemption shall take place (which date shall be not later than one year after the publication of the relevant Tax Notice). Any such Determination shall be conclusive and binding on UCC, N.V., PLC, UNUS, the Noteholders and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UCC shall not redeem the Bearer Notes if UCC shall subsequently determine, based upon the written opinion of independent counsel selected by UCC (such opinion to be in a form and such firm to be a firm to which the Trustee shall have no reasonable objection), not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case UCC shall give notice of such Determination in accordance with Condition 14 not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption and any earlier Tax Notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. Any such Determination shall be conclusive and binding on UCC, N.V., PLC, UNUS, the Noteholders and the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if and so long as all certification, information or other reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a back-up withholding tax or similar charge, UCC may elect prior to publication of the Tax Notice to have the provisions of this paragraph apply in lieu of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, in which event the Tax Notice shall set forth the effective date of such certification, information or reporting requirements and shall state that UCC has elected to pay Additional Amounts in lieu of redeeming the Bearer Notes, which shall be in addition to those Additional Amounts (if any) referred to in the first paragraph of Condition 9. UCC shall then pay as Additional Amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made following the effective date of such a certification, information or reporting requirement outside the United States by UCC, the Trustee or any Paying Agent of principal or interest due in respect of a Bearer Note or Coupon of which the beneficial owner is a United States alien (but without any requirement with regard to any disclosure of the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such back-up withholding tax or similar charge (other than a back-up withholding tax or similar charge which (i) is imposed in relation to a requirement of disclosure referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of such Bearer Note or Coupon for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in such Bearer Note of the relevant Series or such Coupon to be then due and payable. If UCC elects to pay such Additional Amounts, UCC will have the right, at its sole option, at any time, to redeem the Bearer Notes of the relevant Series, as a whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof or such other maturity redemption amount as may be specified in or determined in accordance with the relevant Pricing Supplement, less, in the case of an Instalment Note, the aggregate amount of all instalments which shall have become due and payable prior to the date specified for such redemption in respect of such Note under any other Condition and which remains unpaid at such date together with accrued interest (if any) thereon (calculated as provided in these Terms and Conditions and in the Trust Deed) and, in the case of Undated Notes, arrears of interest (if any) in respect thereof to the date fixed for redemption, including any Additional Amounts required to be paid under this paragraph, in the manner and upon the terms prescribed in the preceding paragraph. If UCC has made the Determination described in the preceding paragraph with respect to a certification, information or other reporting requirement applicable only to interest on the Bearer Notes and elects to pay the Additional Amounts described in this paragraph and subsequently makes a Determination in the manner and of the nature referred to in the preceding paragraph with respect to such a requirement applicable to principal of the Bearer Notes, UCC will redeem such Notes in the manner and upon the terms described in the preceding paragraph, unless UCC again elects in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph and this paragraph to have the provisions of this paragraph apply in lieu of the provisions of the preceding paragraph. If, in such circumstances, the Bearer Notes are to be redeemed, UCC shall have no obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to principal payable or interest accrued after the date

119

of the Tax Notice, but will be obliged to pay Additional Amounts with respect to interest accrued to the date of such Tax Notice.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion, the term “United States alien” means any person who, for United States income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, or an estate or trust whose income is not includible in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes.

References herein to principal of, or interest on, the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable with respect thereto under this Condition or any undertakings given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor pursuant to the Trust Deed.

The provisions of this Condition shall be without prejudice to the rights of substitution conferred by Condition 15.

The relevant Pricing Supplement may set forth certain additional tax consequences to Holders of Notes of a particular Series.

10. REPAYMENT UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

10A. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, the following events or circumstances (each, a “Default”) shall be acceleration events in relation to the Notes of this Series:

Holders of Coupons and Receipts will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to Holders of Bearer Notes in accordance with this Condition.

The Trustee may also determine that any event which would or might otherwise constitute a Default under Condition 10 shall not do so, provided that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such event is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes of the relevant Series. Any such modification, waiver, authorisation or determination shall be binding on the Holders of the Notes of such Series and of the Receipts and of the Coupons (if any) relating thereto and (unless the Trustee agrees otherwise) any such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with Condition 14.

In considering the interests of the Noteholders for the purposes of any substitution, merger or transfer as aforesaid the Trustee shall not have regard to the consequences 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 or any political subdivision thereof.

16. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE TRUSTEE

The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility, including provisions relieving it from taking proceedings to enforce repayment unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

17B. Subject as provided in the Trust Deed, N.V. and PLC may designate any Group Company to become an Issuer of Notes under the Trust Deed.

7.	If within half an hour from the time appointed for any such meeting a quorum is not present the meeting shall, if convened upon the requisition of Holders of Notes, be dissolved. In any other case it shall be adjourned for such period, not being less than fourteen days nor more than 42 days, and to such time and place as may be appointed by the chairman. Save as otherwise provided in the proviso to this paragraph, at such adjourned meeting two or more persons present in person holding Notes of the relevant Series and/or voting certificates and/or being proxies or representatives (whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented) shall form a quorum and shall have the power to pass any resolution and to decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such meeting Provided that at any adjourned meeting the business of which includes any of the matters specified in the proviso to paragraph 6 above, the quorum shall be two or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate no less than 33 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes of the relevant Series for the time being outstanding.

At least fourteen days’ notice 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. Subject as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.
10.	Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of

139

	votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a Holder of a Note or as a Holder of a voting certificate and/or as a proxy.
11.	At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) or by one or more persons holding one or more Notes of the relevant Series or voting certificates and/or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-fiftieth part of the principal amount outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Series 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.
12.	If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as hereinafter provided) 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 continuance 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.

	Neither the relevant Issuer nor the relevant Guarantor(s) nor any of their group companies shall be entitled to vote in respect of Notes held by or on its behalf but this shall not prevent any proxy or representative named in the block voting instructions from being a director, officer or representative

140

		of, or otherwise connected with, the relevant Issuer, the relevant Guarantor(s) or any of their group companies.
15.	(a)	Subject as provided in paragraph 14 above, at any such meeting (a) on a show of hands every person who is present in person and is the Holder of one or more Registered Notes or who produces his appointment as a representative or a Bearer Note or a voting certificate or who is a proxy, shall have one vote and (b) on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each U.S.$1 (a “Unit”) of Registered Notes of the relevant Series of which he is the Holder or in respect of which he is a representative or proxy or in respect of each U.S.$1 (a “Unit”) of Bearer Notes of the relevant Series so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a proxy. Without prejudice to the obligations of the proxies named in any block voting instruction or form of proxy, 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. In the case of joint Holders of a Registered Note, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint Holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of the Holders of Registered Notes in respect of the joint holding.
	(b)	If any Issuer shall have issued and have outstanding Notes which are not denominated in U.S. dollars, in the case of any meeting of holders of Notes of more than one currency, the amount of such Notes shall (i) for the purposes of paragraph 23 below be the equivalent in U.S. dollars at the spot rate of a bank nominated by the Trustee for the conversion of the relevant currency or currencies to U.S. dollars on the day on which the request in writing or instrument in writing is received by the Trustee or if that is not a day on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open in London, the next following such day and (ii) for the purposes of paragraphs 6, 7, 11 and 15(a) above and paragraph 18 below (whether in respect of the meeting, or any adjournment thereof or any poll resulting therefrom) be the equivalent at such spot rate on the Business Day (as defined in Condition 8C(2)) prior to the day of such meeting. In such circumstances, and where Notes denominated in U.S. dollars but of different amounts are to be treated together for the purposes of this Schedule, on any poll each person present shall have one vote for every

141

		U.S.$1 in principal amount of the Notes (converted as above) held.
16.		A proxy named in any block voting instruction need not be a Holder of any Note.
17.	(A)	In the case of Bearer Notes, each block voting instruction and each form of proxy, together (if so required by the Trustee) with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of its due execution on behalf of the relevant Paying Agent, shall be deposited at the registered office of the relevant Issuer (or at such other place as the Trustee shall designate or approve) not less than twenty-four hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting or for the taking of the poll at which the proxy named in the block voting instruction or form of proxy proposes to vote and in default the block voting instruction or form of proxy shall not be treated as valid unless the chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting or adjourned meeting or poll proceeds to business. A notarially certified copy of each such block voting instruction and form of proxy and satisfactory proof as aforesaid (if applicable) shall be deposited with the Trustee before the commencement of the meeting, adjourned meeting or poll but the Trustee shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of, or the authority of the proxy named in, any such block voting instruction or form of proxy.

A notarially certified copy of each form of proxy shall be deposited with the Trustee before the commencement of the meeting, adjourned meeting or poll and the Trustee shall not be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of, or the authority of the proxies named in, such form of proxy.

142

18.	(A)	In the case of Bearer Notes, any vote given in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction or form of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the block voting instruction or form of proxy or of any of the Noteholders’ instructions pursuant to which it was executed; PROVIDED THAT no intimation in writing of such revocation or amendment shall have been received from the Principal Paying Agent by the relevant Issuer at its registered office or by the chairman of the meeting in each case not less than 24 hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction or form of proxy is intended to be used.
	(B)	In the case of Registered Notes, any vote given in accordance with the terms of a form of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or the revocation or amendment of the form of proxy or the authority under which the form of proxy was executed; PROVIDED THAT no intimation in writing (including by telex (tested, where appropriate) or by cable) of such death, insanity or revocation shall have been received by the relevant Issuer at its registered office or by the chairman of the meeting in each case not less than twenty-four hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting, adjourned meeting or taking of a poll at which the form of proxy is intended to be used.

	(c)	to assent to any modification or alteration of the provisions contained in the Notes or the Coupons of the relevant Series, the Conditions thereof or these presents which shall be proposed by the relevant Issuer, the relevant Guarantor(s) or the Trustee;
	(d)	to waive or authorise any breach or proposed breach by the relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor(s) of its or their obligations under the Conditions applicable to the Notes of the relevant Series or these presents or determine that any act or omission which might otherwise constitute an Event of Default under the Conditions applicable to the Notes of the relevant Series shall not be treated as such;
	(e)	to authorise the Trustee to concur in and execute and do all such documents, acts and things as may be necessary to carry out and give effect to any Extraordinary Resolution;

The passing of any such resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances of such resolution justify the passing thereof.
21.	The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when used in these presents means a resolution passed at a meeting of the Holders of Notes in respect of the Notes of the relevant Series duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions contained herein by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast thereon or an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Holder or Holders of not less than 75 per cent. of the Notes of the relevant Series for the time being outstanding.

145

		separate meetings of the Holders of the Notes of each Series so affected; and
	(iv)	to all such meetings as aforesaid all preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply as if references therein to Notes and Noteholders or Holders of Notes of the relevant Series were references to the Notes of the Series or group of Series in question and to the Holders of such Notes respectively.

146

	connection with meetings of the Noteholders and references to a “Holder”, a “registered Holder” and to a “person in whose name Registered Notes are registered” contained in this Ninth Schedule shall be construed accordingly.
