Form of the Notes
FORM OF THE NOTES
Each Note will be evidenced by, in the case of Notes issued in bearer form, a Bearer Temporary
Global Note, a Bearer Permanent Global Note, a Bearer Definitive Note, or, in the case of Notes issued in
registered form, a Registered Global Certificate or a Registered Definitive Certificate, as the case may be,
together with the attached or incorporated Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the applicable Final
Terms.
Bearer Notes
Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and the relevant Dealers, each Tranche of Notes in bearer
form will initially be represented by one or more Bearer Temporary Global Notes without receipts, interest
coupons, or talons. The Bearer Temporary Global Note, which will be delivered on or prior to the issue
date of the relevant Tranche of Notes to (1) the Common Safekeeper (if the Bearer Temporary Global Note
is intended to be issued in NGN form, as stated in the applicable Final Terms) for the Relevant Clearing
System or (2) the Common Depositary (if the Bearer Temporary Global Note is intended to be issued in
CGN form) for the Relevant Clearing System. While any Note is represented by a Bearer Temporary
Global Note, payments of principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts, due prior to the date
determined in accordance with the Agency Agreement (as defined herein) (the “Exchange Date”) which
generally is 40 calendar days after a Bearer Temporary Global Note is issued, will be made (against
presentation of the Bearer Temporary Global Note if the Bearer Temporary Global Note is issued in CGN
form) only if a tax certification has been received. The tax certification, in a form to be provided, will state
that the beneficial owners of such Note are not United States persons or persons who have purchased for
resale to any United States person (as required by U.S. Treasury Regulations) and must be received by a
Relevant Clearing System. In turn, such Relevant Clearing System must give to the Principal Agent a like
certificate based on the certifications it has received.
The NGN form has been introduced to allow for the possibility of Bearer Notes to be issued and
held in a manner which will permit them to be recognized as eligible collateral for monetary policy of the
central banking system for the euro (the “Eurosystem”) and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem
either upon their issue or at any other time prior to the applicable Maturity Date. However, such
recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
If any Bearer Global Note (which term includes both Bearer Temporary Global Notes and Bearer
Permanent Global Notes) is issued in CGN form, upon the initial deposit of a Bearer Global Note with the
Common Depositary, the Relevant Clearing System will credit each subscriber with a nominal amount of
Notes equal to the nominal amount thereof for which it has subscribed and paid. If any Bearer Global Note
is issued in NGN form, the nominal amount of the Notes shall be the aggregate amount from time to time
entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing System. The records of the Relevant Clearing System shall
be conclusive evidence of the nominal amount of Notes represented by a Bearer Global Note issued in
NGN form and a statement issued by such clearing system at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the
records of the Relevant Clearing System at that time.
On and after the Exchange Date, interests in the Bearer Temporary Global Note will be
exchangeable (free of charge to the Noteholder) upon a request either for interests in a Bearer Permanent
Global Note, without receipts, interest coupons, or talons or, under the circumstances described in the
Terms and Conditions, for Bearer Definitive Notes (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and subject,
in the case of Bearer Definitive Notes, to such notice period as is specified in the Terms and Conditions or
the applicable Final Terms), in each case against certification of beneficial ownership as described above
unless such certification previously has been given. The holder of a Bearer Temporary Global Note will
not be entitled to collect any payment of interest, principal, premium, if any, or any other amounts due on
or after the Exchange Date.
