(b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Supplement Indenture, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

All notices delivered hereunder shall be in English and shall be deemed effective when actually received.

Section 1.7 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not

earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplement Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

In addition, the Company shall publish any notices to Holders as necessary, including in English in the Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal, provided that for so long as any Senior Notes are represented by Global Notes, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to the Depository, including their Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking participants, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. If at any time publication in any such newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid for the purposes of this section if published in an English language newspaper selected by the Company with general circulation in the market regions otherwise covered by the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.

Section 2.3 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Senior Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Senior Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such overdue interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such overdue interest at the rate borne by the Senior Notes (such overdue interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Senior Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Senior Note delivered under this Supplemental Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Senior Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Senior Note.

Section 2.4 Depository and Paying Agent for Senior Notes.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depository with respect to the Global Note.

Section 4.1 Events of Default.

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(1) default in the payment of the principal of any of the Senior Notes at Maturity; or

(2) default in the payment of any interest on any of the Senior Notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in this Supplemental Indenture (other than a default in the performance, or breach, of a covenant or agreement which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Senior Notes Outstanding a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(4) (A)there shall have occurred one or more defaults by the Company or any Material Subsidiary in the payment of the principal of Indebtedness aggregating US$30 million or more, when the same becomes due and payable at the Stated Maturity thereof, and such default or defaults shall have continued after any applicable grace period and shall not have been cured or waived or (B) Indebtedness of the Company or any Material Subsidiary aggregating US$30 million or more shall have been accelerated or otherwise declared due and payable, or required to be prepaid or repurchased (other than by regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the Stated Maturity thereof; and, in each case, continuance of such default or non-annulment of such acceleration for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and

the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Senior Notes Outstanding a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(5) (A) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries for the benefit of its creditors under any applicable law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (B) the institution by the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief for the benefit of its creditors under any applicable law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or such Material Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

Section 4.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 4.1(5) of this Supplemental Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Senior Notes Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount of all Senior Notes shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(5) shall occur, the principal amount of all outstanding Senior Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Notes Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay,

(A) all overdue interest on all Senior Notes Outstanding,

(B) all unpaid principal of any Senior Notes Outstanding which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Senior Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate borne by the Senior Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of or interest on Senior Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Section 4.2.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 4.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if

(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Senior Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Senior Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee (but no such demand shall be required in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(5)), pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Senior Notes for principal and interest, and interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Senior Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Supplemental Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

All payments of or in respect of principal and interest on the Senior Notes shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Singapore or any authority of or in Singapore having authority to tax unless these taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted. In the event of such withholding or deduction, the Company agrees to pay by way of additional interest such additional amounts of, or in respect of, principal, and interest as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of Singapore) in the payment to each Holder of a Senior Note of the amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Senior Note had no withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:

(i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that such Holder:

(A) was for Singapore tax purposes treated as a resident of Singapore or who is otherwise subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges by reason of being connected with Singapore other than through the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such Senior Note; or

(B) presented such Senior Note more than 30 calendar days after the date on which the payment in respect of such Senior Note first became due and payable or provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Senior Note for payment on any day within such period of 30 calendar days;

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(iii) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from the payment of principal of or interest on the Senior Notes;

(iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Senior Note with a reasonable request by the Company addressed to the Holder (A) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any reasonable information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) or (B), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of Singapore as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge; or

(v) any combination of the items listed above;

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or interest on any Senior Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment if the beneficial owner would not otherwise have been entitled to the Additional Amounts.

Any reference herein to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Senior Note shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Supplemental Indenture to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable under this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 5.4 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain in Singapore and The City of New York an office or agency where Senior Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Senior Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Senior Notes and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The principal office of the Company shall serve as the office or agency of the Company in Singapore. The office of the Trustee in The City of New York shall serve as such office or agency of the Company in The City of New York. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the addresses thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the offices of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its Paying Agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

This Senior Note may be redeemed or repurchased as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture and summarized below. This Senior Note is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, on any date at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount of this Senior Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, if the Company determines that, as a result of (A) any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of Singapore or any authority of or in Singapore having power to tax, or rulings promulgated under any such laws or regulations or by any authority of or in Singapore having power to tax, (B) any change in the general application or official or judicial interpretation of any such laws, regulations or rulings, or (C) any change in the general application or official or judicial interpretation of, or any execution or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which Singapore is a party, which change, execution or amendment, in each case, becomes effective on or after August 3, 2005, the Company has been or will be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Senior Notes.

This Senior Note, or a portion thereof equal to US$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, is subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof upon the occurrence of certain Repayment Events described in Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture (including events relating to change of control of the Company), at a Repayment Price equal to 101% of the principal amount of this


²		This paragraph should be included only if the Note is issued in global form.

Exercise of such option by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

In the case of any redemption or repayment of Senior Notes, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date or Repayment Date will be payable to the Holders of such Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof, as provided in the Supplemental Indenture. Senior Notes (or portions thereof) for whose redemption or repayment provision is made in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date (as applicable).

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

The Supplemental Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Supplemental Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding. The Supplemental Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Supplemental Indenture and certain past defaults under the Supplemental Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Supplemental Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Senior Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Supplemental Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Supplemental Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Supplemental Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
