NOTICE TO EEA INVESTORS<br />

This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Senior Notes will be<br />

made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of<br />

the European Economic Area (‘‘EEA’’), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of<br />

securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of Senior<br />

Notes, which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this Offering Memorandum, should only<br />

do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the initial purchasers to produce<br />

a prospectus for such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the initial purchasers have authorized, nor do they<br />

authorize, the making of any offer of Senior Notes through any financial intermediary, other than<br />

offers made by the initial purchasers, which constitute the final placement of Senior Notes<br />

contemplated in this Offering Memorandum.<br />

In relation to each Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive<br />

(each, a ‘‘Relevant Member State’’), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus<br />

Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, no offer has been made and no offer will be<br />

made of the Senior Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:<br />

(a) to legal entities that are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not<br />

so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;<br />

(b) to any legal entity that has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the<br />

last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than A43,000,000; and (3) an annual net<br />

turnover of more than A50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;<br />

(c) to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the<br />

Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of Citigroup Global Markets<br />

Limited; or<br />

(d) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,<br />

provided that no such offer of Senior Notes shall require the publication by the Issuer, any Guarantor<br />

or the initial purchasers of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.<br />

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an ‘‘offer of the Senior Notes to the public’’ in<br />

relation to any Senior Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and<br />

by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any Senior Notes to be offered so<br />

as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any Senior Notes, as the same may be varied in that<br />

Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant<br />

Member State and the expression ‘‘Prospectus Directive’’ means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any<br />

relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.<br />

CERTAIN REGULATORY ISSUES RELATED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM<br />

Each initial purchaser represents and warrants that:<br />

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause<br />

to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the<br />

meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the<br />

Senior Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the<br />

Issuer or any Guarantor; and<br />

(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to<br />

anything done by it in relation to the Senior Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United<br />

Kingdom.<br />
