7

3.7If the Fourth Issuer is obliged to issue or procure the issue of any Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes pursuant to Clause 3.5 but fails to do so within 30 days of the occurrence of the relevant event described in Clause 3.5, then the Fourth Issuer shall indemnify the Note Trustee, the registered holder of the relevant Global Fourth Issuer Note(s) and the relevant Noteholders and keep them indemnified against any and all loss or damage incurred by any of them if the amount received by the Note Trustee, the registered holder of such Global Fourth Issuer Note(s) or the relevant Noteholders in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes is less than the amount that would have been received had Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes been issued in accordance with Clause 3.5.  If and for so long as the Fourth Issuer discharges its obligations under this indemnity, the breach by the Fourth Issuer of the provisions of Clause 3.5 shall be deemed to be cured ab initio.

Any breach of or failure to comply with any such terms and conditions as are referred to in subclauses 18.1 and 18.2 of this Clause shall constitute a default by the Fourth Issuer in the performance or observance of a covenant or provision binding on it under or pursuant to these presents.

19.ENTITLEMENT TO TREAT NOTEHOLDER AS ABSOLUTE OWNER

The Fourth Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) deem and treat the registered holder of any Fourth Issuer Note or of a particular principal amount of the Fourth Issuer Notes as the absolute owner of such Fourth Issuer Note or principal amount, as the case may be, for all purposes (whether or not such Fourth Issuer Note or principal amount shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership thereof or of trust or other interest with regard thereto, any notice of loss or theft thereof or any writing thereon), and the Fourth Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  All payments made to any such registered holder of a Definitive Fourth Issuer Note or Global Fourth Issuer Note shall be valid and, to the extent of the sums so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for the monies payable in respect of such Fourth Issuer Note or principal amount, as the case may be.

20.CURRENCY INDEMNITY

The Fourth Issuer shall indemnify the Note Trustee, every appointee of the Note Trustee and the Noteholders and keep them indemnified against:

(a)any liability incurred by any of them arising from the non-payment by the Fourth Issuer of any amount due to the Note Trustee or the Noteholders under these presents by reason of any variation in the rates of exchange between those used for the

30

purposes of calculating the amount due under a judgment or order in respect thereof and those prevailing at the date of actual payment by the Fourth Issuer; and

(b)any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the local currency equivalent of the amounts due or contingently due under these presents (other than this Clause) is calculated for the purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Fourth Issuer and (ii) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation.  The amount of such deficiency shall be deemed not to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any distribution of assets in connection with any such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation.

The above indemnity (and the indemnities given by the Fourth Issuer in Clause 14.5 and Clause 15(l)) shall constitute obligations of the Fourth Issuer separate and independent from its obligations under the other provisions of these presents and the Fourth Issuer Notes and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Note Trustee or the Noteholders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the judgment or filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Fourth Issuer for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under these presents (other than this Clause).  Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Noteholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Fourth Issuer or its liquidator or liquidators.

21.ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION; NEW NOTE TRUSTEE

21.1Eligibility and Disqualification

This Deed shall always have a Note Trustee which shall be eligible to act as Note Trustee under Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.  The Note Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.  If the Note Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Note Trustee and the Fourth Issuer shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any deed or deeds under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Fourth Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met.  If at any time the Note Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 21.1, the Note Trustee shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect specified in Clause 22.

21.2New Note Trustee

(a)Subject to paragraph (b) below the power to appoint a new trustee of these presents shall be vested in the Fourth Issuer but no person shall be appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders.  One or more persons may hold office as trustee or trustees of these presents but such trustee or trustees shall be or include a Trust Corporation.  Whenever there shall be more than two trustees of these presents the majority of such trustees shall be competent to execute and exercise all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested in the Note Trustee by these presents provided that a Trust Corporation shall be included in such majority.  Any appointment of a new trustee of these presents shall as soon

31

as practicable thereafter be notified by the Fourth Issuer to the Principal Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

(b)Any new trustee must (i) meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) not be an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the Fourth Issuer or of any person involved in the organisation or operation of the Fourth Issuer; (iii) not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Fourth Issuer; and (iv) execute an agreement or instrument concerning the Fourth Issuer Notes containing provisions to the effect set forth in Section 26(a)(3) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.

21.3Separate and Co-Trustees

Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause 21.2 above, the Note Trustee may, upon giving prior notice to the Fourth Issuer (but without requiring the consent of the Fourth Issuer or the Noteholders), 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 Note Trustee:

(a)if the Note Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders;

(b)for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts is or are to be performed; or

(c)for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of these presents or any of the other Fourth Issuer Transaction Documents against the Fourth Issuer or any other party thereto.

The Fourth Issuer irrevocably appoints the Note Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any such instrument of appointment.  Such a person shall (subject always to the provisions of these presents) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Note Trustee by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment.  The Note Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person.  Such reasonable remuneration as the Note 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 this Deed be treated as costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Note Trustee.

22.NOTE TRUSTEE’S RETIREMENT AND REMOVAL

A trustee of this Deed may retire at any time on giving not less than three months’ prior written notice to the Fourth Issuer without giving any reason and without being responsible for any costs incurred by reason of such retirement.  The Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution of each class of Noteholders remove any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents.  The Fourth Issuer undertakes that in the event of the only trustee of these presents which is a Trust Corporation giving notice under this Clause or being removed by Extraordinary Resolution of each class of Noteholders it will use its best endeavours to procure that a new trustee of these presents being a Trust Corporation is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.  The retirement or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed.  If a successor trustee being a trust corporation has not been appointed within two months after the

32

date of the notice of retirement of the Note Trustee, then the retiring Note Trustee may appoint its own successor trustee being a trust corporation.

23.NOTE TRUSTEE’S POWERS TO BE ADDITIONAL

For so long as any Fourth Issuer Notes are represented by a Global Fourth Issuer Note, transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in such Global Fourth Issuer Notes and entitlement to payments thereunder will be effected subject to and in accordance with the rules and procedures from time to time of DTC, in the case of the Dollar Global Fourth Issuer Notes, and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg in the case of the Reg S Global Fourth Issuer Notes.

A Global Fourth Issuer Note will be exchanged for Fourth Issuer Notes of the relevant series and class in definitive registered form (“Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes”) only if any of the following applies:

(i)(in the case of Dollar Global Fourth Issuer Notes) DTC has notified the Fourth Issuer that it is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as holder of such Global Fourth Issuer Notes or is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as, or has ceased to be, a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor to DTC registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not able to be appointed by the Fourth Issuer within 90 days of such notification or (in the case of the Reg S Global Fourth Issuer Notes) both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg are closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of

283

holiday, statutory or otherwise) or announce an intention permanently to cease business and do so cease to do business and no alternative clearing system satisfactory to the Note Trustee is available; or

(ii)as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of the United Kingdom (or of any political subdivision thereof) or of any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, or in the interpretation or administration by a revenue authority or a court or in the application of such laws or regulations, which becomes effective on or after the Closing Date, the Fourth Issuer or any Paying Agent is or will be required to make any deduction or withholding from any payment in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes which would not be required were the Fourth Issuer Notes in definitive registered form.

If Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes are issued, the beneficial interests represented by the Dollar Global Fourth Issuer Notes of each series and class and by the Reg S Global Fourth Issuer Notes of each series and class shall be exchanged by the Fourth Issuer for Fourth Issuer Notes of such series and classes in definitive form (the “Dollar Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes” and “Reg S Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes” respectively). The aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes and the Reg S Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes shall be equal to the Principal Amount Outstanding at the date on which notice of exchange is given of the corresponding Dollar Global Fourth Issuer Notes of each series and class and the corresponding Reg S Global Fourth Issuer Notes of each series and class, respectively, subject to and in accordance with the detailed provisions of these Conditions, the Fourth Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement, the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the relevant Global Fourth Issuer Note.

Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes of each class (which, if issued, will be in the denominations set out below) will be serially numbered and will be issued in registered form only.

The denominations of the Fourth Issuer Notes in global and (if issued) definitive form will be as follows:

The registered holder of any Global Fourth Issuer Note may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) be deemed and treated at all times, by all persons and for all purposes (including the making of any payments), as the absolute owner of such Global Fourth Issuer Note regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss of any trust or other interest therein or of any writing thereon (other than the endorsed form of transfer).

Title to a Definitive Fourth Issuer Note shall only pass by and upon registration in the Register. Such Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes may be transferred in whole (but not in part) upon the surrender of the relevant Definitive Fourth Issuer Note, with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed, at the specified office of the Registrar or the Transfer Agent. All transfers of such Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes are subject to any restrictions on transfer set forth on such Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes and the detailed regulations concerning transfers in the Fourth Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement.

(E)Conflict between the classes of Fourth Issuer Notes

Each of the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge contains provisions requiring the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee to have regard to the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders equally as regards all powers, trusts, authorities, duties and discretions of the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee (except where expressly provided otherwise), but requiring the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee to have regard (a) (for so long as there are any Class A Fourth Issuer Notes Outstanding (as that term is defined in the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed)) only to the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders if, in the Note Trustee’s or the Security Trustee’s sole opinion (as the case may be), there is or may be a conflict between the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the interests of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and/or the interests of the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders, (b) (once all the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes have been redeemed and for so long as there are any Class B Fourth Issuer Notes Outstanding (as that term is defined in the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed)) only to the interests of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders if, in the Note Trustee’s or the Security Trustee’s sole opinion (as the case may be), there is or may be a conflict between the interests of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the interests of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and/or the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders and (c) (once all the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes and the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes have been redeemed and for so long as there are any Class M Fourth Issuer Notes Outstanding (as that term is defined in the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed)) only to the interests of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders if, in the Note Trustee’s or the Security Trustee’s sole opinion (as the case may be), there is or may be a conflict between the interests of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the interests of the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders. Except where expressly provided otherwise, so long as any of the Fourth Issuer Notes remain outstanding, the Security Trustee is not required to have regard to the interests of any other persons (other than the class or classes of Noteholder described above) entitled to the benefit of the Fourth Issuer Security.

The Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge each contain provisions limiting the powers of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders, inter alia, to request or direct the Note Trustee or the Security Trustee to take any action or to pass an effective Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed) according to the effect thereof on the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders. Except in certain circumstances set out in Condition 11, the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge contain no such limitation on the powers of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the exercise of which will be binding on the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders respectively, irrespective of the effect thereof on their interests.

The Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge each also contain provisions limiting the powers of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders, inter alia, to request or direct the Note Trustee or the Security Trustee to take any action or to pass an effective Extraordinary Resolution according to the effect thereof on the interests of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders. Except in certain circumstances set out in Condition 11, the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge contain no such limitation on the powers of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the exercise of which will be binding on the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders respectively, irrespective of the effect thereof on their interests.

Similarly, the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge each contain provisions limiting the powers of the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders, inter alia, to request or direct the Note Trustee or the Security Trustee to take any action or to pass an effective Extraordinary Resolution according to the effect thereof on the interests of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders.

286

Except in certain circumstances described above and in Condition 11, the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge contain no such limitation on the powers of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the exercise of which will be binding on the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders, irrespective of the effect thereof on their interests.

The Fourth Issuer Trust Deed and Condition 11 below also contain provisions regarding the resolution of disputes between the holders of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders; between the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders; between the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders; and between the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders.

The Note Trustee and the Security Trustee shall each be entitled to assume, for the purpose of exercising any right, power, trust, authority, duty or discretion under or in relation to these Conditions or any of the Transaction Documents, without further investigation or inquiry, that such exercise will not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Fourth Issuer Noteholders (or any series and/or class thereof) if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in writing that the then current ratings of the applicable series and/or class or classes of Fourth Issuer Notes would not be adversely affected by such exercise.

4.Interest

(A)Period of Accrual

Each Fourth Issuer Note bears interest on its Principal Amount Outstanding from (and including) the Closing Date. Each Fourth Issuer Note (or, in the case of redemption in part only of a Fourth Issuer Note, that part only of such Fourth Issuer Note) shall cease to bear interest from its due date for redemption unless payment of the relevant amount of principal or any part thereof is improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue on such unpaid amount (before as well as after any judgment) at the rate applicable to such Fourth Issuer Note up to (but excluding) the date on which payment in full of the relevant amount of principal is made, or (if earlier) the seventh day after notice is duly given by the Principal Paying Agent or the US Paying Agent, as the case may be, to the holder thereof (either in accordance with Condition 14 or individually) that such payment will be made, provided that, subsequently, payment is in fact made.

Whenever it is necessary to compute an amount of interest in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes for any period (including any Interest Period (as defined below)), such interest shall be calculated:

289

(i)in respect of the Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes and the Euro Fourth Issuer Notes (other than the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes), on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 360 day year;

(B)Interest Payment Dates and Interest Periods

Interest on the Fourth Issuer Notes (other than the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes and the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes) is payable quarterly in arrear on the 10th day of March, June, September and December in each year (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each such day a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”).

“Interest Payment Date” means, as applicable, a Quarterly Interest Payment Date and/or a Series 1 Class A Interest Payment Date and/or a Series 5 Class A1 Interest Payment Date.

The first Interest Payment Date will be (other than in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes and the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes) the 10th day of June 2004, and, in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes, the 10th day of April 2004 and, in the case of Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes, the 10th day of March 2005.

(a)prior to the Interest Payment Date falling in March 2011, if a Trigger Event occurs or the Fourth Issuer Security is enforced in accordance with the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge, then the Interest Period for the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes will be the quarterly period from (and including) the 10th day of the then next to occur of March, June, September and December to (but excluding) the next following 10th day of March, June, September and December;

(b)on and from the Series 5 Class A1 Interest Payment Date falling in March 2011, the Interest Period for the Series 5 Class A1 First Issuer Notes will be the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Quarterly Interest Payment Date (or in respect of the first such Interest Period, such Interest Payment Date falling in March 2011 to (but excluding) the next following Quarterly Interest Payment Date; and

In these Conditions, “Business Day” shall (save in Conditions 6(E) and (G)) mean a day which is a New York Business Day, a London Business Day and a TARGET Business Day. A “New York Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks are generally open for business in the city of New York; “London Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks are generally open for business in London; and “TARGET Business Day” means a day on which the TransEuropean Automated Realtime Gross settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) system is open.

To the extent that the funds available to the Fourth Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Fourth Issuer Pre-Enforcement Priority of Payments, to pay interest on the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes on an Interest Payment Date (in each case, after discharging the Fourth Issuer’s liabilities of a higher priority) are insufficient to pay the full amount of such interest, payment of the shortfall attributable to the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (in each case, “Deferred Interest”), which will be borne by each Class B Fourth Issuer Note, Class M Fourth Issuer Note and/ or Class C Fourth Issuer Note in a proportion equal to the proportion that the Principal Amount Outstanding of that Class B Fourth Issuer Note, the Class M Fourth Issuer Note or Class C Fourth Issuer Note, as the case may be, bears to the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes, as the case may be (in each case as determined on the Interest Payment Date on which such Deferred Interest arises), will not then fall due but will instead be deferred until the first Interest Payment Date thereafter on which funds are available (after allowing for the Fourth Issuer’s liabilities of a higher priority) to the Fourth Issuer to pay such Deferred Interest to the extent of such available funds. Such Deferred Interest will accrue interest (“Additional Interest”) at the rate of interest applicable from time to time to the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes, as the case may be, and payment of any Additional Interest will also be deferred until the first Interest Payment Date thereafter on which funds are available (after allowing for the Fourth Issuer’s liabilities of a higher priority) to the Fourth Issuer to pay such Additional Interest to the extent of such available funds. Amounts of Deferred Interest and Additional Interest shall not be deferred beyond the Final Maturity Date of the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes, as the case may be, when such amounts will become due and payable. It is possible that all or any part of any interest due on the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes, as the case may be, may never be made good if there are insufficient funds available to pay such interest after paying amounts of a higher priority. Payments of interest due on an Interest Payment Date in respect of the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes will not be deferred. In the event of the delivery of a Class A Fourth Issuer Note Acceleration Notice (as described in Condition 9), the amount of interest that was due but not paid on such Interest Payment Date will itself bear interest at the applicable rate until both the unpaid interest and the interest on that interest are paid.

The rate of interest payable in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes (each a “Rate of Interest” and together the “Rates of Interest”) and the relevant Interest Amount (as defined below) shall be determined on the basis of the provisions set out below:

(a)The Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes:

(i)on the initial Dollar Interest Determination Date (as defined below), the Agent Bank will calculate the Initial Relevant Screen Rate (as defined below) in respect of each class of Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on that date. If the Initial Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to provide the Agent Bank with its offered quotation to leading banks (in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes) for two-week and one-month Dollar deposits and (in all other cases) for two-month and three-month Dollar deposits of $10,000,000 in the London interbank market as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on such Dollar Interest Determination Date. The Rates of Interest for the first Interest Period shall be the aggregate of (a) the Relevant Margin (as defined below) and (b) the Initial Relevant Screen Rate in respect of the Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes or, if the Initial Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, (in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes) the linear interpolation of the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for and two-week and one-month Dollar deposits and (in all other cases) the linear interpolation of the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for two-month and three-month Dollar deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places);

(ii)on each subsequent Dollar Interest Determination Date, the Agent Bank will determine the Relevant Screen Rate (as defined below) in respect of each class of Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the Dollar Interest Determination Date in question. If the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide the Agent Bank with its offered quotation to leading banks for, as applicable, one-month or three-month Dollar deposits of $10,000,000 in the London interbank market as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the relevant Dollar Interest Determination Date. The Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the aggregate of (a) the Relevant Margin and (b) the Relevant Screen Rate or, if the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for (in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes) one-month Dollar Deposits and (in all other cases) three-month Dollar deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places); and

(iii)if, on any Dollar Interest Determination Date, the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable and two or three only of the Reference Banks provide offered quotations, the Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (i) or, as the case may be, (ii) above on the basis of the offered quotations of those Reference Banks providing such quotations. If, on any such Dollar Interest Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides the Agent Bank with such an offered quotation, the Agent Bank shall forthwith consult with the Note Trustee and the Fourth Issuer for the purposes of agreeing two banks (or, where one only of the Reference Banks provided such a quotation, one additional bank) to provide such a quotation or quotations to the Agent Bank (which bank or banks are in the opinion of the Note Trustee suitable for such purpose) and the Rates of Interest for the Interest Period in question shall be determined, as aforesaid, on the basis of the offered quotations of such banks as so agreed (or, as the case may be, the offered quotations of such bank as so agreed and the relevant Reference Bank). If no such bank or banks is or are so agreed or such bank or banks as so agreed does or do not provide such a quotation or quotations, then the Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the Rates of Interest in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period to which subparagraph (i) or (ii), as the case may be, shall have applied but taking account of any change in the Relevant Margin;

(b)The Euro Fourth Issuer Notes:

(i)on the initial Euro Interest Determination Date (as defined below), the Agent Bank will calculate the Initial Relevant Screen Rate (as defined below) in respect of each class of Euro Fourth Issuer Notes other than the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes as at or about 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on that date. If the Initial Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks (as defined below)

292

The Rates of Interest for the first Interest Period shall be the aggregate of (a) the Relevant Margin (as defined below) and (b) the Initial Relevant Screen Rate in respect of the Euro Fourth Issuer Notes or, if the Initial Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the linear interpolation of the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for two-month Euro deposits and the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for three-month Euro deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places);

(ii)the rate of interest payable in respect of the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes shall be 3.9615 per cent. per annum up to (and including) the interest period ending in March 2011 and thereafter shall be a floating rate of interest calculated in accordance with paragraphs (iii) and (iv) below;

(iii)on each subsequent Euro Interest Determination Date (as defined below) in the case of the Euro Fourth Issuer Notes other than the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes and, in the case of the Series 5 Class A1 Fourth Issuer Notes, on the earliest to occur of (i) the Interest Payment Date falling in March 2011, (ii) the Interest Payment Date immediately following the occurrence of a Trigger Event and (iii) the Interest Payment Date following the enforcement of the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge, the Agent Bank will determine the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of the Euro Fourth Issuer Notes as at or about 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Euro Interest Determination Date in question.

The Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the aggregate of (a) the Relevant Margin and (b) the Relevant Screen Rate or, if the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for Euro deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places); and

(iv)if, on any Euro Interest Determination Date, the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable and two or three only of the Reference Banks provide offered quotations, the Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (i) or, as the case may be, (ii) above on the basis of the offered quotations of those Reference Banks providing such quotations. If, on any such Euro Interest Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides the Agent Bank with such an offered quotation, the Agent Bank shall forthwith consult with the Note Trustee and the Fourth Issuer for the purposes of agreeing two banks (or, where one only of the Reference Banks provided such a quotation, one additional bank) to provide such a quotation or quotations to the Agent Bank (which bank or banks are in the opinion of the Note Trustee suitable for such purpose) and the Rates of Interest for the Interest Period in question shall be determined, as aforesaid, on the basis of the offered quotations of such banks as so agreed (or, as the case may be, the offered quotations of such bank as so agreed and the relevant Reference Bank). If no such bank or banks is or are so agreed or such bank or banks as so agreed does or do not provide such a quotation or quotations, then the Rates of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the Rates of Interest in effect for the last preceding Interest Period to which subparagraph (i) shall have applied but, as applicable, taking account of any change in the Relevant Margin;

293

offered quotations for three-month Sterling deposits and the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations for four-month Sterling deposits (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places);

(iii)on each subsequent Sterling Interest Determination Date, the Agent Bank will determine the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of the Sterling Fourth Issuer Notes, as at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the Sterling Interest Determination Date in question.

(D)Determination of Rates of Interest and Calculation of Interest Amounts

(ii)The Interest Amount in respect of each class of Fourth Issuer Notes shall be determined by first applying the relevant Rate of Interest to the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant class of Fourth Issuer Notes, multiplying the sum by the applicable day count fraction described in Condition 4 (A) and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest cent (in the case of Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes), the nearest Euro 0.01 (in the case of Euro Fourth Issuer Notes) and the nearest penny (in the case of Sterling Fourth Issuer Notes) (half a cent, half a Euro 0.01 and half a penny being rounded upwards), and then apportioning the resulting total between the Fourth Issuer Noteholders of the relevant class of Fourth Issuer Notes, pari passu without preference or priority amongst themselves. For these purposes, in the case of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes, following the occurrence of a Trigger Event or enforcement of the Fourth Issuer Security in accordance with the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge, the Principal Amount Outstanding will include any amount of interest which would otherwise be payable on a monthly Series 1 Class A Interest Payment Date, which interest will be deferred until the next monthly Series 1 Class A Interest Payment Date and will itself bear interest at the rate of interest applicable to

296

subsequent Interest Periods in respect of the Series 1 Class A Fourth Issuer Notes until the next Quarterly Interest Payment Date.

(E)Publication of Rates of Interest, Interest Amounts and other Notices

As soon as possible, the Agent Bank will cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount applicable to each class of Fourth Issuer Notes for each Interest Period and the Interest Payment Date falling at the end of such Interest Period to be notified to the Fourth Issuer, the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager, the Note Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agents (as applicable) and to each stock exchange, competent listing authority and/or quotation system (if any) on which the Fourth Issuer Notes are then listed, quoted and/or traded and the Agent Bank will cause notice thereof to be given to the Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14.

(F)Determination and/or Calculation by Note Trustee

If the Agent Bank does not at any time for any reason determine the Rate of Interest and/or calculate the Interest Amount for any class of the Fourth Issuer Notes in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs, the Note Trustee shall (i) determine the Rate of Interest at such rate as (having such regard as it shall think fit to the procedure described above) it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances and/or (as the case may be) (ii) calculate the Interest Amount for such class of Fourth Issuer Notes in the manner specified in paragraph (D) above, and any such determination and/or calculation shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent Bank.

(G)Notifications to be Final

All notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of this Condition 4, whether by the Reference Banks (or any of them) or any other bank or the Agent Bank (in the absence of wilful default; bad faith or manifest error) or the Note Trustee (in accordance with paragraph (F) above) shall be binding on the Fourth Issuer, the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager, the Reference Banks, such other bank, the Agent Bank, the Note Trustee (as the case may be) and all Fourth Issuer Noteholders and (in such absence as aforesaid) no liability to the Fourth Issuer Noteholders shall attach to the Fourth Issuer, the Reference Banks, such other bank, the Agent Bank, the Note Trustee (as the case may be) or the Fourth Issuer Cash Manager in connection with the exercise or non exercise by them or any of them of their powers, duties and discretions hereunder.

(H)Reference Banks and Agent Bank

The Agent Bank shall ensure that, so long as any of the Fourth Issuer Notes remains outstanding, there shall at all times be four Reference Banks with offices in London and an Agent Bank. The initial Reference Banks shall be, in the case of Fourth Issuer Notes, the principal London offices of each of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Barclays Bank PLC, Citibank, N.A. and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc. The initial Agent Bank shall be Citibank, N.A., London Branch, acting through its London office. In the event of any Reference Bank being unable or unwilling to continue to act as a Reference Bank, the Fourth Issuer shall, with the prior written approval of the Note Trustee, appoint a successor Reference Bank to act as such in its place. In the event of Citibank, N.A. being unwilling or unable to act as the Agent Bank, or resigning pursuant to the Fourth Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement, the Fourth Issuer shall, with the approval of the Note Trustee, appoint a successor Agent Bank. If the Fourth Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Reference Bank or successor Agent Bank (as the case may be), the Agent Bank shall appoint such other bank as may be previously approved in writing by the Note Trustee to act as the Reference Bank or Agent Bank (as the case may be). The resignation of the Agent Bank will not take effect until a successor approved in writing by the Note Trustee has been appointed.

5.Redemption, Purchase and Cancellation

(C)Note Principal Payments, Principal Amount Outstanding and Pool Factor

The principal amount redeemable (the “Note Principal Payment”) in respect of each Fourth Issuer Note of a particular class on any Interest Payment Date under paragraph (B) above shall be a proportion of the amount required as at that Interest Payment Date to be applied in redemption of the relevant class of Fourth Issuer Notes on such date equal to the proportion that the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Fourth Issuer Note bears to the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding

299

of the relevant class of Fourth Issuer Notes rounded down to the nearest cent in respect of the Dollar Fourth Issuer Notes, rounded down to the nearest Euro 0.01 in respect of the Euro Fourth Issuer Notes and rounded down to the nearest penny in respect of the Sterling Fourth Issuer Notes provided always that no such Note Principal Payment may exceed the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Fourth Issuer Note.

Two Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date (the “Note Determination Date”), the Fourth Issuer shall determine (or cause the Agent Bank to determine) (i) the amount of any Note Principal Payment due in respect of each Fourth Issuer Note of the relevant series on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, (ii) the Principal Amount Outstanding of each such Fourth Issuer Note (which shall be $1,000 and $10,000 (in the case of each Dollar Fourth Issuer Note), €500,000 (in the case of each Euro Fourth Issuer Note) and £1,000 and £10,000 (in the case of each Sterling Fourth Issuer Note) less (in each case) the aggregate amount of all Note Principal Payments in respect of such Fourth Issuer Notes that have been paid since the Closing Date and on or prior to that Note Determination Date (the “Principal Amount Outstanding”) and (iii) the fraction expressed as a decimal to the first decimal point (the “Pool Factor”), of which the numerator is the Principal Amount Outstanding of that Fourth Issuer Note (as referred to in (ii) above) and the denominator is $1,000 and $10,000 (in the case of each Dollar Fourth Issuer Note), €500,000 (in the case of each Euro Fourth Issuer Note) and £1,000 and £10,000 (in the case of each Sterling Fourth Issuer Notes). Each determination by or on behalf of the Fourth Issuer of any Note Principal Payment of a Fourth Issuer Note, the Principal Amount Outstanding of a Fourth Issuer Note and the Pool Factor shall in each case (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be final and binding on all persons.

With respect to the Fourth Issuer Notes of each class, the Fourth Issuer will cause each determination of the Note Principal Payment, the Principal Amount Outstanding and the Pool Factor to be notified forthwith, and in any event not later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on the Note Determination Date, to the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Registrar, the Agent Bank and (for so long as the Fourth Issuer Notes are listed on one or more stock exchanges or listing authorities) the relevant stock exchange or listing authority, and will cause notice of each determination of the Note Principal Payment, the Principal Amount Outstanding and the Pool Factor to be given to Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 by not later than the Business Day after the relevant Interest Payment Date in the case of Global Fourth Issuer Notes or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in the case of Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes. If no Note Principal Payment is due to be made on any Interest Payment Date falling after March 2011, then a notice to this effect will be given by or on behalf of the Fourth Issuer to the Fourth Issuer Noteholders which have not been paid in full in accordance with Condition 14.

If the Fourth Issuer does not at any time for any reason determine (or cause the Agent Bank to determine) a Note Principal Payment, the Principal Amount Outstanding or the Pool Factor in accordance with the preceding provisions of this paragraph, such Note Principal Payment, Principal Amount Outstanding and Pool Factor may be determined by the Note Trustee in accordance with this paragraph (C) and each such determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been made by the Fourth Issuer. Any such determination shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Fourth Issuer, the Agent Bank and the Fourth Issuer Noteholders.

(D)Optional Redemption in Full

Provided that a Fourth Issuer Note Acceleration Notice has not been served, and subject to the provisos below, upon giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Note Trustee, the counterparties under the Fourth Issuer Swap Agreements and the Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, the Fourth Issuer may redeem, unless otherwise provided, all (but not some only) of the Fourth Issuer Notes at the Principal Amount Outstanding thereof, together with any accrued (and unpaid) interest thereon, on the following dates:

•any interest payment date falling on or after the interest payment date in March 2011; or

•any interest payment date on which the aggregate principal amount of the Fourth Issuer Notes then outstanding is less than 10 per cent. of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Fourth Issuer Notes as at the closing date,

provided that (a) prior to giving any such notice, the Fourth Issuer shall have provided to the Note Trustee a certificate signed by two directors of the Fourth Issuer to the effect that the Fourth Issuer will have the funds, not subject to any interest of any other person, required to redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes as aforesaid and any amounts required to be paid in priority to or pari passu with the

300

Fourth Issuer Notes outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fourth Issuer Cash Management Agreement and (b) the Note Trustee is satisfied in accordance with the Transaction Documents that there are sufficient funds to allow the Fourth Issuer to redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes.

(E)Optional Redemption for Tax and other Reasons

Provided that a Fourth Issuer Note Acceleration Notice has not been served and if the Fourth Issuer at any time satisfies the Note Trustee immediately prior to the giving of the notice referred to below that on the next Interest Payment Date either (i) the Fourth Issuer would by virtue of a change in the law or regulations of the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction (or the application or interpretation thereof) be required to deduct or withhold from any payment of principal or interest or any other amount due under any of the Fourth Issuer Notes any amount for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than where the relevant holder or beneficial owner has some connection with the relevant jurisdiction other than the holding of the Fourth Issuer Notes) or (ii) Funding 1 would be required to deduct or withhold from amounts due under the Fourth Issuer Intercompany Loan any amount on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, and (iii) such obligation of the Fourth Issuer or Funding 1 (as the case may be) cannot be avoided by the Fourth Issuer or Funding 1 (as the case may be) taking reasonable measures available to it, then the Fourth Issuer shall use its reasonable endeavours to arrange the substitution of a company incorporated in another jurisdiction, if it avoids the relevant event described in (i) or (ii) above, approved in writing by the Note Trustee as principal debtor under the Fourth Issuer Notes and as lender under the Fourth Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement, as the case may be, upon the Note Trustee being satisfied that (1) such substitution will not be materially prejudicial to the Fourth Issuer Noteholders (and in making such determination, the Note Trustee may rely, without further investigation or inquiry, on any confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the then current ratings of the Fourth Issuer Notes would not be adversely affected by such substitution); and (2) that the position of the Fourth Issuer Secured Creditors will not thereby be adversely affected; and (3) that such substitution would not require registration of any new security under US securities laws or materially increase the disclosure requirements under US law. Only if the Fourth Issuer is unable to arrange a substitution will the Fourth Issuer be entitled to redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes as described in this Condition 5(E).

If the Fourth Issuer or Funding 1 (as the case may be) is unable to arrange a substitution as described above and; as a result, one or more of the events described in (i) or (ii) above (as the case may be) is continuing, then the Fourth Issuer may, having given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Note Trustee, the counterparties under the Fourth Issuer Swap Agreements and the Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, redeem all (but not some only) of the Fourth Issuer Notes on the next following Interest Payment Date at their aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding together with any interest accrued (and unpaid) thereon provided that (in either case), prior to giving any such notice, the Fourth Issuer shall have provided to the Note Trustee (1) a certificate signed by two directors of the Fourth Issuer stating that the circumstances referred to in (i) and/or (ii) above prevail and setting out details of such circumstances, and (2) an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Note Trustee of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Fourth Issuer has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. The Note Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the circumstance set out in (i) and/ or (ii) above, in which event they shall be conclusive and binding on the Fourth Issuer Noteholders. The Fourth Issuer may only redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes as described above if the Note Trustee is, in its absolute discretion, satisfied that the Fourth Issuer will have the funds, not subject to the interest of any other person, required to redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes as aforesaid and any amounts required under the Fourth Issuer Pre- Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments currently set out in the Fourth Issuer Cash Management Agreement to be paid in priority to or pari passu with the Fourth Issuer Notes outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

If at any time, it would be unlawful for the Fourth Issuer to make, fund or allow to remain outstanding a Term Advance made by it under the Fourth Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement and the relevant certificate states that the Fourth Issuer requires Funding 1 to prepay the Term Advance, then the Fourth Issuer may redeem all (but not some only) of the Fourth Issuer Notes at the Principal Amount Outstanding thereof, together with any accrued interest thereon, on giving not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days’ (or such shorter period as may be required by any relevant law) prior written notice thereof to the Note Trustee, the counterparties under the Fourth Issuer Swap

301

Agreements and the Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, provided that, prior to giving any such notice, the Fourth Issuer shall have provided to the Note Trustee a certificate signed by two directors of the Fourth Issuer to the effect that it will have the funds, not subject to the interest of any other person, required to redeem the Fourth Issuer Notes as aforesaid and any amounts required under the Fourth Issuer Pre- Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments (or, as the case may be, the Fourth Issuer Post- Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments) currently set out in the Fourth Issuer Cash Management Agreement to be paid in priority to or pari passu with the Fourth Issuer Notes outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

(i)(subject in all cases to restrictions contained in the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed or, as the case may be, the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge to protect the interests of any higher ranking class of Fourth Issuer Noteholders) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders or the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders or so requested in writing by the holders of at least 25 per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes or, in the case of the Security Trustee (subject to restrictions contained in the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge to protect the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders or the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders), it has been so directed by the Note Trustee acting on the instructions of an Extraordinary Resolution of Noteholders of the relevant class, or so requested by any other Fourth Issuer Secured Creditor; and

(ii)it shall have been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction.

Amounts available for distribution after enforcement of the Fourth Issuer Security shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge.

No Fourth Issuer Noteholder may institute any proceedings against the Fourth Issuer to enforce its rights under or in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes or the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed unless (1) the Note Trustee or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, has become bound to institute proceedings and has failed to do so within a reasonable time and (2) the failure is continuing. Notwithstanding the previous sentence and notwithstanding any other provision of the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed, the right

307

of any Fourth Issuer Noteholder to receive payment of principal of and interest on its Fourth Issuer Notes on or after the due date for the principal or interest, or to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of that interest or principal, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Fourth Issuer Noteholder. In addition, no Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholder, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholder or Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholder will be entitled to take proceedings for the winding up or administration of the Fourth Issuer unless:

•there are no outstanding Fourth Issuer Notes of a class with higher priority; or

•if Fourth Issuer Notes of a class with higher priority are outstanding, there is consent of holders of at least one quarter of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the class or classes of Fourth Issuer Notes with higher priority.

If, upon the Fourth Issuer Security having been enforced and realised to the maximum possible extent as certified by the Security Trustee to the Note Trustee after payment of all other claims ranking in priority to the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (as the case may be) under the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge, the remaining proceeds of such enforcement are insufficient to pay in full all principal and interest and other amounts whatsoever due in respect of the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (as the case may be) and all other claims ranking pari passu therewith, then the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and/or the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders (as the case may be) shall, be forthwith paid their respective shares of such remaining proceeds (as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Fourth Issuer Deed of Charge). On the date of such payment (the “Option Exercise Date”), the Note Trustee (on behalf of all of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and/or the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders (as the case may be)) will, at the request of Permanent PECOH Limited (the “Post Enforcement Call Option Holder”), transfer all (but not some only) of the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes and/or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (as the case may be) to the Post Enforcement Call Option Holder for a nominal amount only pursuant to the option granted to it by the Note Trustee (as agent for the Fourth Issuer Noteholders) pursuant to a post enforcement call option agreement (the “Fourth Issuer Post Enforcement Call Option Agreement”) dated on or about the Closing Date between the Fourth Issuer, the Post Enforcement Call Option Holder, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee. Immediately upon such transfer, no such former Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholder, Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholder or Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholder shall have any further interest in the Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or the Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (as the case may be). Each of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders, the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders acknowledges that the Note Trustee has the authority and the power to bind the Fourth Issuer Noteholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Fourth Issuer Post Enforcement Call Option Agreement and each Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholder, Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholder or Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholder (as the case may be), by subscribing for or purchasing Class B Fourth Issuer Notes, the Class M Fourth Issuer Notes or Class C Fourth Issuer Notes (as the case may be), agrees to be so bound.

then such condition shall be deemed to be modified with respect to the facts set out in the request referred to in (ii) so that there shall be no requirement for the confirmation or response from the Non-Responsive Rating Agency.
