the Issuer would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment and as a result of that<br />

amendment or change, Additional Amounts as described above under ‘‘—Additional Amounts’’ with<br />

respect to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which the Issuer cannot avoid by the use of reasonable<br />

measures available to it, then the Issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at any time<br />

thereafter, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable and<br />

given in accordance with the procedures described in ‘‘—Notices’’), at a redemption price of 100% of<br />

their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Prior to the<br />

giving of any notice of the redemption described in this paragraph, the Issuer will deliver to the<br />

Trustee:<br />

(a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be<br />

avoided by the Issuer’s taking reasonable measures available to it; and<br />

(b) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Issuer of recognized standing qualified<br />

under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee<br />

to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a<br />

result of a Change in Tax Law.<br />

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption will be given (a) earlier than 90 days<br />

prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to make such payment of Additional<br />

Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes, were then due and (b) unless at the time such notice is<br />

given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect.<br />

Notice of Optional Redemption<br />

The Issuer will publish a notice of any optional redemption of the Notes described above in<br />

accordance with the provisions of the Indenture described under ‘‘—Notices’’. These notice provisions<br />

include a requirement to publish any such notice in a newspaper having general circulation in Ireland<br />

(which is expected to be The <strong>Irish</strong> Times) if and so long as the Notes are listed on the <strong>Irish</strong> <strong>Stock</strong><br />

<strong>Exchange</strong> and the rules of such exchange so require. The Issuer will inform the <strong>Irish</strong> <strong>Stock</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> of<br />

the principal amount of the Notes that have not been redeemed in connection with any optional<br />

redemption. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the<br />

Notes by a method that complies with the requirements, as certified to the Trustee by the Issuer, of the<br />

principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed at such time or, if the Notes are not<br />

listed on a securities exchange, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole<br />

discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall<br />

reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than A50,000. The Trustee<br />

shall not be liable for any selections made by it in accordance with this paragraph.<br />

Sinking Fund; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases<br />

The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with<br />

respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor may be<br />

required to offer to purchase the Notes as described under the captions ‘‘—Purchase of Notes upon a<br />

Change of Control’’ and ‘‘—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets’’. The Parent<br />

Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiaries, including the Issuer, may at any time and from time to time<br />

purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.<br />

Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control<br />

If a Change of Control occurs at any time, then the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor must make an<br />

offer (a ‘‘Change of Control Offer’’) to each holder of Notes to purchase such holder’s Notes, at a<br />

purchase price (the ‘‘Change of Control Purchase Price’’) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the<br />

principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the<br />
