DESCRIPTION OF THE HEDGE ARRANGEMENTS<br />

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the hedging arrangements entered into by the Issuer<br />

on the Issue Date. The following is a summary only and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive description<br />

of the detailed provisions of such documents (copies of which are available from the specified offices of the<br />

<strong>Irish</strong> Listing Agent and any Transfer Agent).<br />

Hedge Agreements<br />

On or about the Issue Date, the Issuer entered into Sterling call options (the “Initial Hedge Agreement”<br />

and together with any subsequent hedge agreements being a “Hedge Agreement”)) with the Initial Hedge<br />

Counterparty. Subsequent hedging transactions may be entered into with any other person (each, including the<br />

Initial Hedge Counterparty, a “Hedge Counterparty”), provided that any Hedge Counterparty has the<br />

regulatory capacity to enter into derivatives transactions with Dutch residents. Each Hedge Counterparty (a<br />

guarantor of its obligations) will have to have a short term debt rating of “F1” by Fitch and “A-1+” by S&P and<br />

a long term debt rating of “A+” by Fitch.<br />

The Initial Hedge Agreement is documented under a 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross<br />

Border) in the form published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”).<br />

Transactions entered into under a Hedge Agreement are documented in confirmations to such Hedge<br />

Agreement. Each transaction will be evidenced by a confirmation entered into pursuant to a Hedge Agreement<br />

(each a “Hedge Transactions”).<br />

The Initial Hedge Agreement is governed by English law.<br />

Initial Hedge Transactions<br />

On the Issue Date, the Issuer acquired Sterling call options. The Issuer may from time to time enter into<br />

interest rate or currency swap transactions, in each case subject to the Issuer having obtained prior Rating<br />

Agency Confirmation unless such transactions are Form-Approved Hedges.<br />

Upon the exercise by the Collateral Manager of all or part of the Sterling call options as set out in the<br />

Collateral Management Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall use the Sterling amounts received, either (a) to<br />

repay Sterling Drawings as set out in the Class A1A Note Purchase Agreement; or (b) as part of the Sterling<br />

Interest Proceeds or Sterling Principal Proceeds to be applied in accordance with the Priorities of Payment on a<br />

Payment Date.<br />

Asset Swap Transactions<br />

The Issuer may enter into Asset Swap Transactions to hedge payments to be received pursuant to Non-Euro<br />

Collateral Debt Security and the Issuer shall be required to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to<br />

each new Asset Swap Transaction unless such Asset Swap Transaction is a Form-Approved Hedge.<br />

Standard Terms of Hedge Agreements<br />

Each Hedge Agreement shall contain the standard terms required by the Rating Agencies for the type of<br />

transaction described in this Prospectus including limited recourse and non-petition language and provisions in<br />

the event of a downgrade of the Hedge Counterparties. Each new Hedge Agreement shall, unless it is a Form-<br />

Approved Hedge, be the subject of Rating Agency Confirmation at the time it is entered into by the Issuer.<br />
