The first period in respect of which interest shall be so calculable shall commence on the expiry of the Interest Period during which the Notes become so repayable.

3 Form of the Notes

3.1 The Global Notes: The Notes shall initially be represented by a temporary Global Note or a permanent Global Note in the nominal amount of the Tranche being issued.

Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons so executed and, in the case of the Notes, authenticated shall be binding and valid obligations of the Issuer.

4 Stamp Duties and Taxes

The Issuer shall also indemnify the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders from and against all stamp, issue, documentary or other taxes paid by any of them in any jurisdiction in connection with any action taken by or on behalf of the Trustee or, as the case may be, the Noteholders or the Couponholders to enforce the Issuer’s obligations under this Trust Deed or the Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons.

- 6 -

4.2 Change of Taxing Jurisdiction: If the Issuer becomes subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of a territory or a taxing authority of or in that territory with power to tax other than or in addition to The Netherlands or any such authority of or in such territory then the Issuer shall (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees) give the Trustee an undertaking satisfactory to the Trustee in terms corresponding to the terms of Condition 7 with the substitution for, or (as the case may require) the addition to, the references in that Condition to The Netherlands of references to that other or additional territory or authority to whose taxing jurisdiction the Issuer has become so subject. In such event this Trust Deed and the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall be read accordingly.

5 Application of moneys received by the Trustee

5.1 Declaration of Trust: All moneys received by the Trustee in respect of the Notes or amounts payable under this Trust Deed shall, despite any appropriation of all or part of them by the Issuer, be held by the Trustee on trust to apply them (subject to Clause 5.2):

first, in payment of all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities properly incurred by the Trustee (including remuneration payable to it) in carrying out its functions under this Trust Deed

secondly, in payment of any amounts owing in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons pari passu and rateably and

thirdly, in payment of any balance to the Issuer for itself.

If the Trustee holds any moneys in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons that have become void or in respect of which claims have become prescribed, the Trustee shall hold them on these trusts.

5.2 Accumulation: If the amount of the moneys at any time available for payment in respect of the Notes under sub-Clause 5.1 is less than 10 per cent of the nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee may, at its discretion, invest such moneys. The Trustee may retain such investments and accumulate the resulting income until the investments and the accumulations, together with any other funds for the time being under its control and available for such payment, amount to at least 10 per cent of the nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding and then such investments, accumulations and funds (after deduction of, or provision for, any applicable taxes) shall be applied as specified in sub-Clause 5.1.

5.3 Investment: Moneys held by the Trustee may be invested in its name or under its control in any investments or other assets anywhere whether or not they produce income or deposited in its name or under its control at such bank or other financial institution in such currency as the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, think fit. If that bank or institution is the Trustee or a subsidiary, holding or associated company of the Trustee, it need only account for an amount of interest equal to the largest amount of interest payable by it on such a deposit to an independent customer. The Trustee may at any time vary or transpose any such investments or assets or convert any moneys so deposited into any other currency, and shall not be responsible for any resulting loss, whether by depreciation in value, change in exchange rates or otherwise.

5.4 Appropriation of Moneys: If, when the Trustee receives moneys under this Trust Deed, amounts are also due but unpaid under another obligation owed by the Issuer for which it is Trustee (including other Series of Notes constituted by this Trust Deed), the Trustee shall apportion such moneys rateably between this trust and such other trust or trusts unless that other obligation is subordinated to the Notes.

6 Enforcement

6.1 Proceedings brought by the Trustee: At any time after the Notes of any Series shall have become immediately due and repayable, the Trustee may at its discretion and without further notice take such proceedings as it may think fit against the Issuer to enforce repayment thereof together with premium (if any) and accrued interest and any other moneys payable pursuant to this Trust Deed.

6.2 Proof of default: Should the Trustee take legal proceedings against the Issuer to enforce any of the provisions of this Trust Deed:

6.2.1 proof therein that as regards any specified Note the Issuer has made default (beyond any applicable grace period) in paying any principal, premium or interest due in respect of such Note shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that the Issuer has made the like default as regards all other Notes which are then due and repayable and

6.2.2 proof therein that as regards any specified Coupon the Issuer has made default (beyond any applicable grace period) in paying any interest due in respect of such Coupon shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that the Issuer has made the like default as regards all other Coupons which are then due and payable.

6.3 Calculation of rate of interest: The rate of interest payable in respect of any Notes bearing interest at a floating rate in the event of such Notes having become immediately due and repayable shall be calculated at the same intervals as the rate of interest payable pursuant to the Conditions of such Notes, commencing on the expiry of the interest period during which such Notes become immediately due and repayable mutatis mutandis in accordance with the provisions of Condition 4 except that no notices need be published in respect thereof.

7 Proceedings

7.1 Action taken by Trustee: The Trustee shall not be bound to take any such proceedings as are mentioned in Clause 6.1 unless respectively directed or requested to do so (i) by an Extraordinary Resolution or (ii) in writing by the holders of at least one-fifth in nominal amount of the Notes of the relevant Series then outstanding and in either case then only if it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against all actions, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may thereby render itself liable and all costs, charges, damages and expenses which it may incur by so doing.

- 11 -

10.3 Resolutions of Noteholders: The Trustee shall not be responsible for having acted in good faith on a resolution purporting to have been passed at a meeting of Noteholders in respect of which minutes have been made and signed even if it is later found that there was a defect in the constitution of the meeting or the passing of the resolution or that the resolution was not valid or binding on the Noteholders or Couponholders.

11 Trustee liable for negligence

Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to any function of the Trustee, provided that if the Trustee fails to show the degree of care and diligence required of it as trustee, having regard to the provisions of this Trust Deed conferring on him any powers, authorities or discretions, nothing in this Trust Deed or any Supplemental Trust Deed shall relieve or indemnify it from or against any liability that would otherwise attach to it in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which it may be guilty.

12 Waiver and proof of default

12.1 Waiver: The Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders and without prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, from time to time and at any time, if in its opinion the interests of the Noteholders will not be materially prejudiced thereby, waive or authorise, on such terms as seem expedient to it, any breach or proposed breach by the Issuer of this Trust Deed or the Conditions or determine that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall not be treated as such provided that the Trustee shall not do so in contravention of an express direction given by an Extraordinary Resolution or a request made pursuant to Condition 9.

Any such waiver, authorisation or determination shall be binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and, if the Trustee so requires, shall be notified to the Noteholders as soon as practicable.

12.2 Proof of Default: Proof that the Issuer has failed to pay a sum due to the holder of any one Note, Receipt or Coupon shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that it has made the same default as regards all other Notes, Receipts or Coupons relating to that Series that are then payable.

The Trustee and any other person, whether or not acting for itself, may acquire, hold or dispose of any Note, Receipt, Coupon, Talon or other security (or any interest therein) of the Issuer or any other person, may enter into or be interested in any contract or transaction with any such person and may act on, or as depositary or agent for, any committee or body of holders of any securities of any such person in each case with the same rights as it would have had if the Trustee were not acting as Trustee and need not account for any profit.

14 Modification and Substitution

14.1 Modification: The Trustee may agree without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders to any modification to this Trust Deed of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest error or to comply with mandatory provisions of law. The Trustee may also so agree to any modification to this Trust Deed that is in its opinion not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders, but such power does not extend to any such modification as is mentioned in the proviso to paragraph 2 of Schedule 3.

14.2 Substitution:

14.2.1 The Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, agree to the substitution of the Issuer’s successor in business or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or its successor in business (the “Substituted Obligor”) in place of the Issuer (or of any

- 14 -

previous substitute under this sub-Clause) as the principal debtor under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons provided that:

(i) a deed is executed or undertaking given by the Substituted Obligor to the Trustee, in form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee, agreeing to be bound by this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons (with consequential amendments as the Trustee may deem appropriate) as if the Substituted Obligor had been named in this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer

(ii) if the Substituted Obligor is subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of a territory or any authority of or in that territory with power to tax (the “Substituted Territory”) other than the territory to the taxing jurisdiction of which (or to any such authority of or in which) the Issuer is subject generally (the “Issuer’s Territory”), the Substituted Obligor shall (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees) give to the Trustee an undertaking satisfactory to the Trustee in terms corresponding to Condition 7 with the substitution for the references in that Condition to the Issuer’s Territory of references to the Substituted Territory whereupon the Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons shall be read accordingly

(iii) if any 2 Directors of the Substituted Obligor certify that it will be solvent immediately after such substitution, the Trustee need not have regard to the Substituted Obligor’s financial condition, profits or prospects or compare them with those of the Issuer

(iv) the Issuer and the Substituted Obligor comply with such other requirements as the Trustee may direct in the interests of the Noteholders and

(v) unless the Issuer’s successor in business is the Substituted Obligor, the obligations of the Substituted Obligor under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, and the Coupons are guaranteed by the Issuer.

14.2.2 Release of Substituted Issuer: An agreement by the Trustee pursuant to sub-Clause 14.2 shall, if so expressed, release the Issuer (or a previous substitute) from any or all of its obligations under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons. Notice of the substitution shall be given to the Noteholders within 14 days of the execution of such documents and compliance with such requirements.

14.2.3 Completion of Substitution: On completion of the formalities set out in sub-Clause 14.2, the Substituted Obligor shall be deemed to be named in this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or of any previous substitute) and this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons shall be deemed to be amended as necessary to give effect to the substitution. In the case of such a substitution the Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders or the Couponholders, to a change of the law governing the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons, the Talons and/or the Trust Deed provided that such change would not in the opinion of the Trustee be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders.

15 Appointment, Retirement and Removal of the Trustee

15.1 Appointment: The Issuer has the power of appointing new trustees but no-one may be so appointed unless previously approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders. A trust corporation shall at all times be a Trustee and may be the sole Trustee. Any appointment of a new Trustee shall be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders as soon as reasonably practicable.

15.2 Retirement and Removal: Any Trustee may retire at any time on giving at least 3 months’ written notice to the Issuer without giving any reason or being responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement and the Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution remove any Trustee provided that the retirement or removal of a sole trust corporation shall not be effective until a trust corporation is appointed as successor Trustee. If a sole trust corporation gives notice of retirement or an Extraordinary Resolution is passed for its removal, the Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that another trust corporation be appointed as Trustee.

15.3 Co-Trustees: The Trustee may, despite sub-Clause 15.1, by written notice to the Issuer appoint anyone to act as an additional Trustee jointly with the Trustee:

15.3.1 if the Trustee considers the appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders and/or the Couponholders or

15.3.2 to conform with a legal requirement, restriction or condition in a jurisdiction in which a particular act is to be performed or

15.3.3 to obtain a judgment or to enforce a judgment or any provision of this Trust Deed in any jurisdiction.

Subject to the provisions of this Trust Deed the Trustee may confer on any person so appointed such functions as it thinks fit. The Trustee may by written notice to the Issuer and that person remove that person. At the Trustee’s request, the Issuer shall forthwith do all things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and it irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its attorney in its name and on its behalf to do so.

15.4 Competence of a Majority of Trustees: If there are more than 2 Trustees the majority of them shall be competent to perform the Trustee’s functions provided the majority includes a trust corporation.

16 Notes held in Clearing Systems and Couponholders

16.1 Notes Held in Clearing Systems: So long as any Global Note is held on behalf of a clearing system, in considering the interests of Noteholders, the Trustee may have regard to any information provided to it by such clearing system or its operator as to the identity (either individually or by category) of its accountholders or participants with entitlements to any such Global Note and may consider such interests on the basis that such accountholders or participants were the holder(s) thereof.

16.2 Couponholders: No notices need be given to Couponholders. They shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of any notice given to Noteholders. Even if it has express notice to the contrary, in exercising any of its functions by reference to the interests of the Noteholders, the Trustee shall assume that the holder of each Note is the holder of all Receipts, Coupons and Talons relating to it.

- 16 -

17 Currency Indemnity

17.1 Currency of Account and Payment: The Contractual Currency is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer under or in connection with this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons, including damages.

17.2 Extent of Discharge: An amount received or recovered in a currency other than the Contractual Currency (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or otherwise), by the Trustee or any Noteholder or Couponholder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer shall only discharge the Issuer to the extent of the Contractual Currency amount that the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

17.3 Indemnity: If that Contractual Currency amount is less than the Contractual Currency amount expressed to be due to the recipient under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons, the Issuer shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Issuer shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase.

17.4 Indemnity Separate: The indemnities in this Clause 17 and in sub-Clause 9.4 constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Trust Deed, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Trustee and/or any Noteholder or Couponholder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts and/or the Coupons or any other judgment or order.

18 Communications

18.1 Method: Each communication under this Trust Deed shall be made by e-mail (provided that such e-mail is promptly followed by a fax), fax or otherwise in writing. Each communication or document to be delivered to any party under this Trust Deed shall be sent to that party at the e-mail address, fax number or address, and marked for the attention of the person (if any), from time to time designated by that party to each other party for the purpose of this Trust Deed. The initial telephone number, e-mail address, fax number, address and person so designated by the parties under this Trust Deed are set out in the Procedures Memorandum.

18.2 Deemed Receipt: Any communication from any party to any other under this Trust Deed shall be effective, (if by e-mail or fax) when good receipt is confirmed by the recipient following enquiry by the sender and (if in writing) when delivered, except that a communication received outside normal business hours shall be deemed to be received on the next business day in the city in which the recipient is located.

19 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

19.1 Governing Law: This Trust Deed is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law.

19.2 Jurisdiction: The courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or in connection with this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this

- 17 -

Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. The Issuer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objections to Proceedings in such courts on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. This submission is for the benefit of each of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders and shall not limit the right of any of them to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not).

19.3 Service of Process: The Issuer irrevocably appoints The Law Debenture Corporation plc at its registered office for the time being in London to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings in England. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to such process agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by the Issuer). If for any reason such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or no longer has an address in England the Issuer irrevocably agrees to appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Trustee and shall immediately notify the Trustee of such appointment. Nothing shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

1 by the Issuer giving notice to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders of its intention to effect such exchange

2 otherwise, if this permanent Global Note is held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other clearing system (an “Alternative Clearing System”) and any such clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so.

“Exchange Date” means a day falling not less than 60 days, or in the case of failure to pay principal in respect of any Note when due (where such failure is continuing beyond any applicable grace period) 30 days after that on which the notice requiring exchange is given and on which banks are open for business in the city in which the specified office of the Issuing and Paying Agent is located and, except in the case of exchange pursuant to 2 above, in the cities in which Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or, if relevant, the Alternative Clearing System, are located.

Subject as provided in the Conditions applicable to Party Paid Notes, any such exchange may be effected on or after an Exchange Date by the holder of this permanent Global Note surrendering this permanent Global Note to or to the order of the Issuing and Paying Agent. In exchange for this permanent Global Note, the Issuer shall deliver, or procure the delivery of, duly executed and authenticated Definitive Notes in an aggregate nominal amount equal to the nominal amount of this permanent Global Note submitted for exchange (if appropriate, having attached to them all Coupons (and, where appropriate, Talons) in respect of interest, and all Receipts in respect of Instalment Amounts, that have not already been paid on this permanent Global Note), security printed substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed as supplemented and/or modified and/or superseded by the terms of the Third Schedule hereto.

Benefit of Conditions

Except as otherwise specified herein, this permanent Global Note is subject to the Conditions and the Trust Deed and, until the whole of this permanent Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, the holder of this permanent Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as if it were the holder of the Definitive Notes for which it may be exchanged and as if such Definitive Notes had been issued on the Issue Date.

Payments

No person shall be entitled to receive any payment in respect of the Notes represented by this permanent Global Note that falls due after an Exchange Date for such Notes, unless upon due presentation of this permanent Global Note for exchange, delivery of Definitive Notes is improperly withheld or refused by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Issuer does not perform or comply with any one or more of what are expressed to be its obligations under any Definitive Notes.

Payments in respect of this permanent Global Note shall be made to its holder against presentation and (if no further payment falls to be made on it) surrender of it at the specified office of the Issuing and Paying Agent or of any other Paying Agent provided for in the Conditions.

- 26 -

payment shall be endorsed on the First or Second Schedule hereto, as appropriate, by the Issuing and Paying Agent or by the relevant Paying Agent, for and on behalf of the Issuing and Paying Agent, which endorsement shall (until the contrary is proved) be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has been made.

Prescription

Claims in respect of principal and interest (as each is defined in the Conditions) in respect of this permanent Global Note shall become void unless it is presented for payment within a period of 10 years (in the case of principal) and 5 years (in the case of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date.

Meetings

The holder of this permanent Global Note shall (unless this permanent Global Note represents only one Note) be treated as 2 persons for the purposes of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Noteholders and, at any such meeting, as having one vote in respect of each nominal amount of Notes equal to the minimum Specified Denomination of the Notes for which this permanent Global Note may be exchanged.

Cancellation

Cancellation of any Note represented by this permanent Global Note that is required by the Conditions to be cancelled (other than upon its redemption) shall be effected by reduction in the nominal amount of this permanent Global Note representing such Note on its presentation to or to the order of the Issuing and Paying Agent for endorsement in the First Schedule hereto, whereupon the nominal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so cancelled and endorsed.

Purchase

Notes may only be purchased by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries if they are purchased together with the right to receive all future payments of interest and Instalment Amounts (if any) thereon.

Issuer’s Options

Any option of the Issuer provided for in the Conditions shall be exercised by the Issuer giving notice to the Noteholders within the time limits set out in and containing the information required by the Conditions, except that the notice shall not be required to contain the serial numbers of Notes drawn in the case of a partial exercise of an option and accordingly no drawing of Notes shall be required.

Noteholders’ Options

Any option of the Noteholders provided for in the Conditions may be exercised by the holder of this permanent Global Note giving notice to the Issuing and Paying Agent within the time limits relating to the deposit of Notes with a Paying Agent set out in the Conditions substantially in the form of the notice available from any Paying Agent, except that the notice shall not be required to contain the serial numbers of the Notes in respect of which the option has been exercised, and stating the nominal amount of Notes in respect of which the option is exercised and at the same time presenting this permanent Global Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent, or to a Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Issuing and Paying Agent, for notation accordingly in the Fourth Schedule hereto.

Notices

- 27 -

Luxembourg or such other clearing system, as the case may be, or otherwise to the holder of this permanent Global Note, rather than by publication as required by the Conditions, except that so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so require, notices shall also be published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort).

2 the holder of this permanent Global Note is and shall be absolutely entitled as against all previous holders to receive all amounts by way of amounts payable upon redemption, interest or otherwise payable in respect of this permanent Global Note and the Issuer has waived against such holder and any previous holder of this permanent Global Note all rights of set-off or counterclaim that would or might otherwise be available to it in respect of the obligations evidenced by this Global Note and

3 payment upon due presentation of this permanent Global Note as provided herein shall operate as a good discharge against such holder and all previous holders of this permanent Global Note.

No provisions of this permanent Global Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal and premium of and interest on the Notes when due in accordance with the Conditions.

This permanent Global Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by or on behalf of the Issuing and Paying Agent.

Powers of meetings

2 A meeting shall, subject to the Conditions and without prejudice to any powers conferred on other persons by this Trust Deed, have power by Extraordinary Resolution:

2.1 to sanction any proposal by the Issuer or the Trustee for any modification, abrogation, variation or compromise of, or arrangement in respect of, the rights of the Noteholders and/or the Couponholders against the Issuer, whether or not those rights arise under this Trust Deed

2.2 to sanction the exchange or substitution for the Notes of, or the conversion of the Notes into, shares, bonds or other obligations or securities of the Issuer or any other entity

provided that the special quorum provisions in paragraph 18 shall apply to any Extraordinary Resolution (a “special quorum resolution”) for the purpose of sub-paragraph 2.2 or 2.8, any of the proposals listed in Condition 10(a) or any amendment to this proviso.

Convening a meeting

3 The Issuer or the Trustee may at any time convene a meeting. If it receives a written request by Noteholders holding at least 10 per cent in nominal amount of the Notes of any Series for the time being outstanding and is indemnified to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses, the Trustee shall convene a meeting of the Noteholders of that Series. Every meeting shall be held at a time and place approved by the Trustee.

4 At least 21 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day of the meeting) shall be given to the Noteholders. A copy of the notice shall be given by the party convening the meeting to the other parties. The notice shall specify the day, time and place of meeting and, unless the Trustee otherwise agrees, the nature of the resolutions to be proposed and shall explain how Noteholders may appoint proxies or representatives, obtain voting certificates and use block voting instructions and the details of the time limits applicable.

Arrangements for voting

5 If a holder of a Note wishes to obtain a voting certificate in respect of it for a meeting, he must deposit it for that purpose at least 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting with a Paying Agent or to the order of a Paying Agent with a bank or other depositary nominated by the Paying Agent for the purpose. The Paying Agent shall then issue a voting certificate in respect of it.

6 A voting certificate shall:

6.1 be a document in the English language

6.2 be dated

6.3 specify the meeting concerned and the serial numbers of the Notes deposited and

6.4 entitle, and state that it entitles, its bearer to attend and vote at that meeting in respect of those Notes.

7 Once a Paying Agent has issued a voting certificate for a meeting in respect of a Note, it shall not release the Note until either:

7.1 the meeting has been concluded or

7.2 the voting certificate has been surrendered to the Paying Agent.

8 If a holder of a Note wishes the votes attributable to it to be included in a block voting instruction for a meeting, then, at least 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting, (i) he must deposit the Note for that purpose with a Paying Agent or to the order of a Paying Agent with a bank or other depositary nominated by the Paying Agent for the purpose and (ii) he or a duly authorised person on his behalf must direct the Paying Agent how those votes are to be cast. The Paying Agent shall issue a block voting instruction in respect of the votes attributable to all Notes so deposited.

- 44 -

9 A block voting instruction shall:

9.1 be a document in the English language

9.2 be dated

9.3 specify the meeting concerned

9.4 list the total number and serial numbers of the Notes deposited, distinguishing with regard to each resolution between those voting for and those voting against it

9.5 certify that such list is in accordance with Notes deposited and directions received as provided in paragraphs 8, 11 and 14 and

9.6 appoint a named person (a “proxy”) to vote at that meeting in respect of those Notes and in accordance with that list.

A proxy need not be a Noteholder.

10 Once a Paying Agent has issued a block voting instruction for a meeting in respect of the votes attributable to any Notes:

10.1 it shall not release the Notes, except as provided in paragraph 11, until the meeting has been concluded and

10.2 the directions to which it gives effect may not be revoked or altered during the 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting.

11 If the receipt for a Note deposited with a Paying Agent in accordance with paragraph 8 is surrendered to the Paying Agent at least 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting, the Paying Agent shall release the Note and exclude the votes attributable to it from the block voting instruction.

12 Each block voting instruction shall be deposited at least 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting at such place as the Trustee shall designate or approve, and in default it shall not be valid unless the chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before the meeting proceeds to business. If the Trustee requires, a notarially certified copy of each block voting instruction shall be produced by the proxy at the meeting but the Trustee need not investigate or be concerned with the validity of the proxy’s appointment.

13 A vote cast in accordance with a block voting instruction shall be valid even if it or any of the Noteholders’ instructions pursuant to which it was executed has previously been revoked or amended, unless written intimation of such revocation or amendment is received from the relevant Paying Agent by the Issuer or the Trustee at its registered office or by the chairman of the meeting in each case at least 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting.

14 No Note may be deposited with or to the order of a Paying Agent at the same time for the purposes of both paragraph 5 and paragraph 8 for the same meeting.

Chairman

15 The chairman of a meeting shall be such person as the Trustee may nominate in writing, but if no such nomination is made or if the person nominated is not present within 15 minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Noteholders or agents present shall choose one of their number to be chairman, failing which the Issuer may appoint a chairman. The chairman need not be a Noteholder or agent. The chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as the chairman of the original meeting.

- 45 -

Attendance

16 The following may attend and speak at a meeting:

16.1 Noteholders and agents

16.2 the chairman

16.3 the Issuer and the Trustee (through their respective representatives) and their respective financial and legal advisers

16.4 the Dealers and their advisers.

No-one else may attend or speak.

Quorum and Adjournment

17 No business (except choosing a chairman) shall be transacted at a meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time initially fixed for the meeting, it shall, if convened on the requisition of Noteholders or if the Issuer and the Trustee agree, be dissolved. In any other case it shall be adjourned until such date, not less than 14 nor more than 42 days later, and time and place as the chairman may decide. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for a meeting so adjourned, the meeting shall be dissolved.

18 Two or more Noteholders or agents present in person shall be a quorum:

18.1 in the cases marked “No minimum proportion” in the table below, whatever the proportion of the Notes which they represent

18.2 in any other case, only if they represent the proportion of the Notes shown by the table below.

COLUMN 1	COLUMN 2	COLUMN 3
Purpose of meeting	Any meeting except one referred to in column 3 ______________________	Meeting previously adjourned through want of a quorum ______________________
	Required proportion	Required proportion
To pass a special quorum resolution	75 per cent	25 per cent
To pass any other Extraordinary Resolution	A clear majority	No minimum proportion
Any other purpose	10 per cent	No minimum proportion

- 46 -

19 The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) a meeting adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. Only business which could have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at a meeting adjourned in accordance with this paragraph or paragraph 17.

20 At least 10 days’ notice of a meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given in the same manner as for an original meeting and that notice shall state the quorum required at the adjourned meeting. No notice need, however, otherwise be given of an adjourned meeting.

Voting

21 Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by the chairman, the Issuer, the Trustee or one or more persons representing 2 per cent of the Notes.

22 Unless a poll is demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has or has not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against it.

23 If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which it was demanded as at the date it was taken. A demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing for the transaction of business other than the question on which it has been demanded.

24 A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken at once.

25 On a show of hands every person who is present in person and who produces a Note or a voting certificate or is a proxy or representative has one vote. On a poll every such person has one vote in respect of each nominal amount equal to the minimum Specified Denomination of such Series of Notes so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or for which he is a proxy or representative. Without prejudice to the obligations of proxies, a person entitled to more than one vote need not use them all or cast them all in the same way.

26 In case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to any other votes which he may have.

Effect and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution

27 An Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the Noteholders, whether or not present at the meeting, and on all the Couponholders and each of them shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing of such a resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify its being passed. The Issuer shall give notice of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution to Noteholders within 14 days but failure to do so shall not invalidate the resolution.

Minutes

28 Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting and, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the contrary is proved every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.

- 47 -

Trustee’s Power to Prescribe Regulations

29 Subject to all other provisions in this Trust Deed the Trustee may without the consent of the Noteholders prescribe such further regulations regarding the holding of meetings and attendance and voting at them as it in its sole discretion determines including (without limitation) such requirements as the Trustee thinks reasonable to satisfy itself that the persons who purport to make any requisition in accordance with this Trust Deed are entitled to do so and as to the form of voting certificates or block voting instructions so as to satisfy itself that persons who purport to attend or vote at a meeting are entitled to do so.

30 The holder of a Global Note shall (unless such Global Note represents only one Note) be treated as 2 persons for the purposes of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Noteholders.

31 The foregoing provisions of this Schedule shall have effect subject to the following provisions:

31.1 Meetings of Noteholders of separate Series will normally be held separately. However, the Trustee may from time to time determine that meetings of Noteholders of separate Series shall be held together

31.2 A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects one Series alone shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a separate meeting of the Noteholders of the Series concerned

31.3 A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Noteholders of more than one Series but does not give rise to a conflict of interest between the Noteholders of the different Series concerned shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a single meeting of the Noteholders of the relevant Series provided that for the purposes of determining the votes a Noteholder is entitled to cast pursuant to paragraph 25, each Noteholder shall have one vote in respect of each €1,000 nominal amount of Notes held, converted, if such Notes are not denominated in euro, in accordance with sub-Clause 10.13

31.4 A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Noteholders of more than one Series and gives or may give rise to a conflict of interest between the Noteholders of the different Series concerned shall be deemed to have been duly passed only if it shall be duly passed at separate meetings of the Noteholders of the relevant Series

31.5 To all such meetings as aforesaid all the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply as though references therein to Notes and to Noteholders were references to the Notes and Noteholders of the Series concerned.
