principal payable in respect of the Notes and (ii) interest payable in respect of the<br />
Notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of £7,000,000 less the aggregate amount of<br />
all payments made to any Noteholder in respect of interest from time to time and/or<br />
amounts due to be paid to any Noteholder following receipt by the Guarantor of a<br />
signed demand for payment in the form set out in Schedule 4 hereto (duly completed)<br />

respect of principal on and subject to the Cap contained in this clause 6.1 not being<br />
exceeded, interest on the Notes and which has not been paid by the Company at the<br />
time the demand is made. The Guarantor's obligations under this clause are primary<br />
obligations and not those of a mere surety.<br />

satisfied, discharged or affected by an intermediate payment or settlement of account<br />
by, or a change in the constitution or control of, or merger or consolidation with any<br />
person of, or the insolvency of, or bankruptcy, winding up or analogous proceedings<br />
relating to, the Company.<br />

which the Noteholders (or any of them) may make with the Company or with another<br />
person which (but for this clause) might operate to diminish or discharge the liability<br />
of or otherwise provide a defence to a surety.<br />
6.4 Without affecting the generality of clause 6.3, the Noteholders may at any time they<br />
think fit and without reference to the Guarantor:<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
6.4.1 grant a time for payment or grant another indulgence or agree to an<br />
amendment, variation, waiver or release in respect of an obligation of the<br />
Company under this Deed;<br />

other securities or guarantees held by the Noteholders;<br />

realise all or any of those securities or guarantees; and<br />

70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
6.4.4 compound with, accept compositions from and make other arrangements with<br />
the Company or a person or persons liable on other securities or guarantees<br />
held or to be held by the Noteholders,<br />
but nothing in this clause shall affect the liability of the Guarantor under clause 6.<br />
6.5 So long as the Company is under an actual or contingent obligation to pay any<br />
principal or interest in respect of the Notes the Guarantor: (i) shall not exercise a right<br />
which it may at any time have by reason of the performance of its obligations under<br />
clause 6.1 to be or be kept indemnified by the Company, to claim a contribution from<br />
another surety of the obligations of the Company or to take the benefit (in whole or in<br />
part and by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any of the Noteholders' rights under<br />
this Deed or in respect of the Notes or of any other security taken by the Noteholders<br />
in connection with this Deed or in respect of the Notes; but (ii) notwithstanding subclause<br />
(i) above, shall not be restricted in exercising any rights that it may have<br />
against the Company under any contractual arrangement between the Guarantor and<br />
the Company, including, without limitation, any reimbursement right that the<br />
Guarantor may have against the Company.<br />
6.6 The liabilities of the Guarantor under clause 6.1 are not affected by the avoidance of<br />
any assurance, security or payment or any release, settlement or discharge which is<br />
given or made on the faith of any assurance, security or payment, in either case, under<br />
an enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency.<br />
6.7 The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Noteholders (or any<br />
of them or any trustee or agent on their behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other<br />
rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the<br />
Guarantor under this clause 6<br />

7.2.1 the Substituted Debtor is deemed to be a party to this Deed, all deeds<br />

LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
CONDITIONS<br />
1.1 The Notes are issued in amounts of integral multiples of £1 and are non-transferable<br />
save by operation of law or in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Deed.<br />
1.2 The Notes constitute direct, general and unconditional obligations of the Company<br />
which:<br />
1.2.1 rank pari passu among themselves; and<br />
1.2.2 at all times rank at least pari passu with all other future unsecured obligations<br />
of the Company, except for those obligations as may be preferred by law.<br />
2. INTEREST<br />
2.1 Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on 30 June and 31 December in each year<br />
(or in either case if not a business day, on the next business day) (each an "Interest<br />
Payment Date") in respect of the period (an "Interest Period") starting on the<br />
previous Interest Payment Date and ending on the day before the next Interest<br />
Payment Date. The first interest on the Notes is payable on the first Interest Payment<br />
Date following the date of issue of the Notes and is in respect of the period starting on<br />
the date of issue of the Notes and ending on the day before that first Interest Payment<br />
Date. Subject to Condition 2.6, the last interest on the Notes is payable on the Final<br />

rate per annum for deposits in sterling which is the offered rate for 12 month sterling<br />
deposit which appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (or on any successor or substitute<br />
page or service providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on<br />
such page for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to sterling<br />
deposits in the London interbank market) at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the<br />
first day of the relevant Interest Period or, if such day is not a business day, on the<br />
next business day. If a rate of interest cannot for whatever reason be established for<br />
an Interest Period in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Condition 2.2,<br />
the rate of interest on the Notes for such Interest Period shall be calculated by<br />
reference to such rate as the Company shall determine on the basis of quotations made<br />
for twelve months' sterling deposits in such inter-bank market or markets as the<br />
- 11 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
Company may select on the first day of the relevant Interest Period or, if such day is<br />
not a business day, on the next business day.<br />
2.3 If a rate of interest cannot be established in accordance with Condition 2.2 for:<br />
2.3.1 the first Interest Period, the Company shall calculate the rate of interest on the<br />
Notes for that period by reference to such interest rate as the Company may<br />
decide on the basis of quotations made for deposits of a similar size and<br />
currency for the Interest Period in such other interbank market or markets as<br />
the Company may select; or<br />
2.3.2 another Interest Period, the rate of interest on the Notes for that Interest Period<br />
is the same as that applicable to the Notes during the previous Interest Period.<br />
2.4 As soon as reasonably practicable after determination of a rate of interest, the<br />
Company shall notify each Noteholder of the rate.<br />
2.5 Interest is calculated on the basis of a 365 day year and actual days elapsed.<br />
2.6 Interest ceases to accrue on a Note as from the due date for redemption of the Note.<br />
However, if upon due delivery of a redemption notice in accordance with<br />
Condition 3.1 and this certificate in accordance with Condition 5.1, payment of<br />
principal on the Note is withheld or refused in breach of the provisions of the Deed,<br />
interest continues to accrue on the principle amount of the Notes until the date of the<br />
payment at the rate set out in Conditions 2.2 and 2.3.<br />
2.7 The Company shall pay each interest payment (after deduction of tax) to the<br />
Noteholders on the Register at the close of business on fifth business day before an<br />
Interest Payment Date and a Noteholder is deemed to be the holder on that Interest<br />
Payment Date of a Note held by him on that preceding date notwithstanding any<br />
intermediate transmission of the Note.<br />
3. REDEMPTION<br />
3.1 A Noteholder may require the Company to redeem all or some of the outstanding<br />
Notes in amounts or in integral multiples of £1 at par together with accrued interest<br />
(after deduction of tax) on:<br />
3.1.1 the later to occur of (i) the date falling 12 months following the date on which<br />
the Offer is declared unconditional, and (ii) the date falling 6 months<br />
following the date of issue of the relevant Notes; and<br />
3.1.2 each Interest Payment Date thereafter.<br />
To exercise this right, the Noteholder shall complete and sign the redemption notice<br />
set out in Appendix 1 to the Conditions and deliver it in writing to the Company in<br />
accordance with the instructions in the redemption notice not less than 30 days before<br />
the relevant date for redemption and deliver the relevant certificate in accordance with<br />
Condition 5. A redemption notice delivered in accordance with this Condition is<br />
irrevocable. On the relevant date for redemption the Company shall redeem the Note<br />
- 12 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
at par together with accrued interest (after deduction of tax) up to but excluding that<br />
date.<br />
3.2 Unless previously redeemed or purchased, the Company shall redeem the Notes on<br />
the fifth anniversary of the date of issue of the first Note (or, if such date is not a<br />
business day, the next business day) (the "Final Redemption Date") at par together<br />
with accrued interest (after deduction of tax) up to but excluding that date.<br />
3.3 A Noteholder shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Company to require the<br />
Company to redeem all or part (in integral multiples of £1 nominal amount) of the<br />
Notes at par together with accrued interest (after deduction of tax) up to but excluding<br />
the date of redemption on the occurrence of any of the following events:<br />
3.3.1 the failure by the Company to pay:<br />
(a) any principal moneys payable on the Note within 30 days of the due<br />
date for payment; or<br />
(b) any interest payable on the Note within 30 days of the due date for<br />
payment;<br />
3.3.2 the passing by the Company of an effective resolution for its winding up or the<br />
making by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order for the winding up of<br />
the Company or the dissolution of the Company otherwise than, in each case,<br />
for the purposes of an amalgamation, reorganisation, liquidation or<br />
reconstruction under which a successor or successors undertake(s) the<br />
obligations of the Company under the Notes or for the purposes of a members'<br />
voluntary winding up on terms previously sanctioned by an Extraordinary<br />
Resolution;<br />
3.3.3 the appointment of an administrator or the making of an administration order<br />
in relation to the Company or the appointment of a receiver over, or the taking<br />
possession of or sale by an encumbrancer of, the whole or any substantial part<br />
of the Company's assets when such person has not been paid out or such<br />
person's claim has not been discharged within 30 business days of the claim<br />
being made; or<br />
3.3.4 the making by the Company of an arrangement or composition with its<br />
creditors generally or the making by the Company of an application to a court<br />
of competent jurisdiction for protection of its creditors generally.<br />
3.4 A Noteholder may opt to require the Company (but for the avoidance of doubt, not the<br />
Guarantor) to pay, to him/her in lieu of and in satisfaction of the principal amount of<br />
the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest, an amount of US dollars equal to the<br />
sterling principal amount of such Notes calculated using the closing mid-point US<br />
dollar spot rate quoted by Bloomberg on the business day falling 14 days before the<br />
date of payment (or if such day is not a business day, the preceding business day) (the<br />
"Repayment Value"), provided that if the Repayment Value would otherwise exceed<br />
the Capped Amount (as defined below), the Repayment Value shall be replaced with<br />
the Capped Amount. The "Capped Amount" means the lower of:<br />
- 13 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
3.4.1 the sterling principal amount of the Note plus one-half of one per cent. of the<br />
sterling nominal value of the Note to be repaid, converted to US dollars at the<br />
spot rate quoted by Bloomberg on the date of redemption; and<br />
3.4.2 the sterling principal amount of the Note plus one twenty-fourth of Y per cent.<br />
of the sterling principal amount of the Note to be repaid converted to dollars at<br />
the spot rate quoted by Bloomberg on the date of redemption, where "Y" is the<br />
number of complete months between the date of issue of the Note and the date<br />
of repayment.<br />
3.5 The Company may at any time purchase Notes at any price by tender (available to all<br />
Noteholders alike) or private treaty or otherwise by agreement with the relevant<br />
Noteholder.<br />
3.6 The Company shall cancel a Note redeemed or purchased and may not reissue or<br />
resell that Note. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company is required to redeem a<br />
Note(s) but the Guarantor pays the principal and interest payable in respect of such<br />
Note(s) pursuant to and in accordance with clause 6 of the Deed (to the extent that the<br />
C ) (“Guaranteed Interest”) N ( )<br />
be treated as redeemed and shall be cancelled forthwith, and neither the Company nor<br />
the Guarantor shall have any further liability to pay any principal nor the Guaranteed<br />
Interest on such Note(s) and the Guarantor shall not have any liability to pay further<br />
interest on such Note(s) whatsoever.<br />
4. DEALINGS<br />
4.1 The Notes are non-transferable and no application has been or will be made to any<br />
investment exchange for the Notes to be listed or dealt in.<br />
4.2 The Notes have not been and will not be listed on any stock exchange and have not<br />
been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or under any laws of any<br />
state, district or other jurisdiction, of the United States, nor have clearances been nor<br />

compliance with applicable securities laws of Japan and no regulatory clearances in<br />
respect of the Notes have been, or will be, applied for in any other jurisdiction.<br />
4.3 Accordingly, unless an exemption under relevant securities laws is available, the<br />
Notes have not been and may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered or distributed<br />
(directly or indirectly) in, into or from the United States or any other Restricted<br />
Jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of, any Restricted Overseas Person.<br />
5. PROCEDURE ON REDEMPTION AND UNCLAIMED MONEYS<br />
5.1 A Noteholder whose Note is due to be redeemed shall, not later than the due date for<br />
redemption, deliver to the Company the certificate for the Note for cancellation or an<br />
indemnity in a form which is reasonably satisfactory to the Board if the certificate<br />
- 14 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
cannot be produced. Upon delivery and against a receipt (if the Company so requires)<br />
for the moneys payable in respect of the Note, the Company shall pay to the<br />
Noteholder those moneys.<br />
5.2 If the Noteholder fails to comply with Condition 5.1:<br />
5.2.1 the Company may pay all amounts payable in respect of the Note into a<br />
separate interest-bearing bank account;<br />
5.2.2 the payment of an amount into a bank account does not constitute the<br />
Company a trustee in respect of the amount and is deemed for all purposes to<br />
be a payment to the Noteholder and the Company is discharged from all<br />
obligations in respect of the Note;<br />
5.2.3 the Company is not responsible for the safe custody of the amount or related<br />
interest;<br />
5.2.4 subject to Condition 5.2.5, the Company is, and the Noteholder is not, entitled<br />
to interest accrued on the amount; and<br />
5.2.5 if the amount remains unclaimed in respect of interest on a Note after a period<br />
of five years, and in respect of principal, after a period of ten years in each<br />
case from the date of payment of the amount into the account, the Noteholder<br />
ceases to be entitled to the amount and it shall then belong to the Company.<br />
5.3 The Company may invest or otherwise use all unclaimed amounts in respect of a Note<br />
until claimed.<br />
6. PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS IN RESPECT OF NOTES<br />
6.1 The Company shall pay principal moneys and any interest payable in respect of a<br />
Note by electronic bank transfer to a bank account notified to the Company by the<br />
Noteholder or by cheque, at the risk of the Noteholders by post to the registered<br />
address of the Noteholder or, in the case of joint Noteholders, to the registered address<br />
of the Noteholder who is first named on the Register. Every such cheque shall be<br />
made payable to the person to whom it is sent.<br />
6.2 The Board may withhold payment of principal moneys and any interest in respect of a<br />
Note to a person entitled by transmission to a Note until he has proved such evidence<br />
of his right as the Board may require.<br />
6.3 If the due date for payment of an amount in respect of a Note is not a business day,<br />
the Noteholder is not entitled to payment of the amount until the next following<br />
business day and is not entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of<br />
the resulting delay in payment.<br />
7. GUARANTEE<br />
7.1 A Noteholder claiming payment by the Guarantor under the guarantee set out in<br />
clause 6 of the Deed shall deliver to the Guarantor at Deutsche Bank Luxembourg<br />
S.A., Private Wealth Management, 2, boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-1115<br />
Luxembourg (to the attention of Katrin Braun), or such other address as may from<br />
- 15 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
time to time be notified by the Guarantor to the Noteholders in writing, a signed<br />
demand for payment in the form set out in Schedule 4 hereto (duly completed) and the<br />
Guarantor shall subject to clause 6.1 of the Deed and the limitations contained therein,<br />
make payment to such Noteholder of the amount demanded upon presentation to it of<br />
a demand for payment which on its face appears to comport with such form, without<br />
any requirement that the Guarantor conduct any further investigation.<br />
7.2 If an amount is payable by the Guarantor under clause 6 of the Deed, it shall pay such<br />
amount in sterling only as will ensure that the Noteholder receives the same net<br />
benefit as he/she would have received had payment been made by the Company in<br />
sterling only and for the purposes of the Guarantee set out in clause 6.1 of the Deed<br />
and this Condition, the provisions of Condition 3.4 shall not apply.<br />
8. INTERPRETATION<br />
Words and expressions defined in the Deed shall, unless the context otherwise<br />
requires, have the same meanings in these Conditions.<br />
9. NOTICES<br />
9.1 A notice to be given to or by a Noteholder under the Deed or these Conditions shall<br />
be in writing.<br />
9.2 A notice or other document may be given personally (which shall include delivery by<br />
courier) or by post in a pre-paid envelope addressed:<br />
9.2.1 to the Noteholder at the address shown in the Register against his respective<br />
name (or at another address notified to the Company by the Noteholder as the<br />
registered address);<br />
9.2.2 to the Company at Clifford Chance LLP, 10 Upper Bank Street, London E14<br />
5JJ (for the attention of Tim Lewis); or<br />
9.2.3 to the Guarantor at Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., Private Wealth<br />
Management, 2, boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-1115 Luxembourg (to the<br />
attention of Katrin Braun) or such other address as may from time to time be<br />
notified by the Guarantor to the Noteholders in writing.<br />
9.3 If a Noteholder (or, in the case of joint holders, the person first named in the Register)<br />
has a registered address outside the United Kingdom but has notified the Company of<br />
an address in the United Kingdom at which notices or other documents may be given<br />
to him, he is entitled to have notices given to him at the address in the United<br />
Kingdom, but otherwise no such Noteholder or person is entitled to receive a notice or<br />
other document from the Company.<br />
9.4 A notice or other document sent by post from an address within the United Kingdom<br />
to another address within the United Kingdom is deemed to have been given to, and<br />
received by, the intended recipient on the next business day after posting, if pre-paid<br />
as first class.<br />
- 16 -<br />
70-40485392
9.5 A notice or other document sent by pre-paid airmail post between different countries<br />
is deemed to have been given to, and received by, the intended recipient on the third<br />
business day after posting.<br />
9.6 A notice or other document not sent by post but delivered by hand (which shall, for<br />
the avoidance of doubt, include delivery by courier) is deemed to have been given to,<br />
and received by, the intended recipient on the day it is so left.<br />
9.7 A notice or other document sent by electronic means to an email address or a fax<br />
number specified for the purpose by the intended recipient is deemed to have been<br />
given to, and received by, the intended recipient 24 hours after it was sent.<br />
9.8 A Post Office certificate of posting for a properly addressed and stamped envelope<br />
containing the notice or document is conclusive evidence that the notice or document<br />
was so sent or supplied. A printed copy of a notice or document sent or supplied by<br />
electronic means that indicates that it was properly addressed and sent (and showing<br />
the time of sending or transmission) is conclusive evidence that the notice or<br />
document was so sent or supplied.<br />
9.9 In the case of joint holders of a Note, a notice or other document shall be given to<br />
whichever of them is named first in the Register in respect of the joint holding and<br />
notice given in this way is sufficient notice to all joint holders.<br />
9.10 A person who becomes entitled to a Note by transmission or otherwise is bound by a<br />
notice in respect of the Note which, before his name is entered in the Register, has<br />
been properly served on a person from whom he derives his title.<br />
9.11 Where a person is entitled by transmission to a Note, the Company may give a notice<br />
or other document to that person as if he were the holder of a Note by addressing it to<br />
him by name or by the title of representative of the deceased or trustee of the bankrupt<br />
member (or by similar designation) at an address in the United Kingdom supplied for<br />
that purpose by the person claiming to be entitled by transmission. Until an address<br />
has been supplied, a notice or other document may be given in any manner in which it<br />
might have been given if the death or bankruptcy or other event had not occurred.<br />
The giving of notice in accordance with this Condition 9.11 is sufficient notice to all<br />
other persons interested in the Note.<br />
10. TAX<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes by or on behalf of the<br />
Company shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or<br />
on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental<br />
charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on<br />
behalf any authority having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such<br />
taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges is required by law. In that event,<br />
the Company shall pay such interest and principal after withholding or deducting such<br />
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.<br />

SCHEDULE 2<br />
PROVISIONS AS TO REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, TRANSMISSION, ETC.<br />
1. TRUSTS NOT RECOGNISED<br />
Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, the<br />
Company is not obliged to recognise a person as holding a Note on trust and is not<br />
bound by or otherwise compelled to recognise (even if it has notice of it) an equitable,<br />
contingent, future, partial or other claim to or interest in a Note other than an absolute<br />
right in the holder to the whole of the Note.<br />
2. RECOGNITION OF NOTEHOLDER<br />
The Company shall recognise a Noteholder as entitled to the Note registered in his<br />
name free from any equity, set-off or counter-claim on the part of the Company<br />
against the original or an intermediate holder of the Note.<br />
3. TRANSFERS<br />
3.1 The Notes are non-transferable save by operation of law or in accordance with<br />
this Schedule 2.<br />
4. TRANSMISSION OF NOTES<br />
4.1 The Company may recognise only the personal representatives of a deceased<br />
Noteholder as having title to a Note held by that Noteholder alone or to which he<br />
alone was entitled. In the case of a Note held by more than one person, the Company<br />
may recognise only the survivor or survivors as being entitled to it.<br />
4.2 Nothing in this Deed releases the estate of a deceased Noteholder from liability in<br />
respect of a Note which has been solely or jointly held by him.<br />
4.3 A person becoming entitled by transmission to a Note may, on production of any<br />
evidence the Board may require, request to be registered as a Noteholder by giving<br />
notice to the Company to that effect.<br />
4.4 Where a person becomes entitled by transmission to a Note, the rights of the<br />
Noteholder in relation to the Note cease. The person entitled by transmission may,<br />
however, give a good discharge for principal moneys and interest payable in respect<br />
of the Note and, subject to paragraphs 4.3 and Condition 6.2, has the rights to which<br />
he would be entitled if he were the holder of the Note. The person entitled by<br />
transmission is not, however, before he is registered as the holder of the Note, entitled<br />
in respect of it to receive notice of or exercise rights conferred by being a Noteholder<br />
in relation to meetings of the Noteholders.<br />
5. REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES<br />
Where a certificate is worn out, defaced, lost or destroyed, the Board may cancel it<br />
and issue a replacement certificate on such terms as to provision of evidence and<br />
indemnity (with or without security) and to payment of any exceptional out of pocket<br />
expenses incurred by the Company in the investigation of that evidence and the<br />
- 19 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
preparation of that indemnity and security as the Board may decide and on surrender<br />
of the original certificate (where it is worn out or defaced).<br />

1. CONVENING MEETINGS<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
SCHEDULE 3<br />
PROVISIONS AS TO MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS<br />
1.1 The Company may convene a meeting of the Noteholders at any time.<br />
1.2 The Company shall (upon receiving such indemnity (if any) as it may require against<br />
all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities which it may incur in doing so) convene<br />
a meeting of the Noteholders within 30 days of receipt of a requisition from<br />
Noteholders holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth<br />
in principal amount of the Notes outstanding at that date.<br />
1.3 The requisition:<br />
1.3.1 shall state the object of the meeting;<br />
1.3.2 shall be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office;<br />
and<br />
1.3.3 may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more<br />

decide.<br />

2.2 The notice of meeting shall specify:<br />
2.2.1 the place, date and time of the meeting;<br />
2.2.2 the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting but, except<br />
for a resolution to be proposed as an Extraordinary Resolution, the terms of a<br />
resolution to be proposed need not be specified; and<br />
2.2.3 with reasonable prominence, that a Noteholder entitled to attend and vote may<br />
appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of the Noteholder and<br />
that a proxy need not also be a Noteholder.<br />
2.3 The accidental omission to send a notice of meeting or, in cases where it is sent out<br />
with the notice, a form of appointment of proxy to, or the non-receipt of either by, a<br />
Noteholder does not invalidate the proceedings at a meeting.<br />
3. QUORUM<br />
3.1 No business may be transacted at a meeting unless a quorum is present. The absence<br />
of a quorum does not prevent the appointment of a chairman in accordance with<br />
paragraph 5, which is not treated as part of the business of the meeting.<br />
- 21 -<br />
70-40485392
3.2 The quorum for a meeting convened for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary<br />
Resolution is two Noteholders (or one Noteholder if there is only one Noteholder<br />
holding outstanding Notes) holding or representing by proxy a majority in principal<br />
amount of the Notes outstanding at the date of the meeting. The quorum for a<br />
meeting convened for any other purpose is persons holding or representing by proxy<br />
one-tenth in principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the date of the meeting.<br />

4.1 If a quorum is not present within five minutes (or such longer period as the chairman<br />
in his absolute discretion may decide) from the time fixed for the start of the meeting<br />
or if during the meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting:<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
4.1.1 if convened on the requisition of the Noteholders, shall be dissolved; or<br />

14 days nor more than 28 days later) and place as the chairman (or, in default,<br />
the Board) may decide.<br />
4.2 At an adjourned meeting the quorum shall be the Noteholders present in person or by<br />
proxy, whatever the principal amount of the Notes held by them. If a quorum is not<br />
present within five minutes (or such longer period as the chairman in his absolute<br />
discretion may decide) from the time fixed for the start of the meeting or if during the<br />
meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the adjourned meeting shall be dissolved.<br />
4.3 The Company shall give not less than seven clear days' notice of any meeting<br />
adjourned for the lack of a quorum and the notice shall comply with paragraph 2.2<br />
and shall state the quorum requirement.<br />
5. CHAIRMAN<br />
5.1 A person nominated by the Company shall preside as chairman at a meeting.<br />
5.2 The Noteholders present at the meeting may select one of their number to be chairman<br />
if:<br />

minutes after the time fixed for the start of the meeting or is not willing to act.<br />

speak at a meeting whether or not he is a Noteholder.<br />
7. POWER TO ADJOURN<br />

shall, if so directed by the meeting, adjourn a meeting from time to time and from<br />
place to place or for an indefinite period.<br />

7.2 Without prejudice to any other power which he may have under the provisions of this<br />
schedule or at common law, the chairman may, without the consent of the meeting,<br />
interrupt or adjourn a meeting from time to time and from place to place or for an<br />
indefinite period if he decides that it has become necessary to do so in order to:<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
7.2.1 secure the proper and orderly conduct of the meeting;<br />
7.2.2 give all persons entitled to do so a reasonable opportunity of speaking and<br />
voting at the meeting; or<br />
7.2.3 ensure that the business of the meeting is properly disposed of.<br />
8. NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETING<br />
Without prejudice to paragraph 4.3, whenever a meeting is adjourned for 28 days or<br />
more or for an indefinite period, at least seven clear days' notice specifying the place,<br />
the date and the time of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business<br />
to be transacted shall be given to the Noteholders and each member of the Board.<br />
Except in these circumstances and subject to paragraph 4.3, it is not necessary to give<br />
notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at the adjourned<br />
meeting.<br />
9. BUSINESS AT ADJOURNED MEETING<br />
No business shall be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than the business which<br />
might properly have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took<br />
place.<br />
10. METHOD OF VOTING<br />
10.1 At a meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is decided by a show of<br />
hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) a poll is<br />
duly demanded.<br />
10.2 A poll may be demanded on a question by the chairman of the meeting or by a<br />
Noteholder or Noteholders present in person or by proxy representing in total not less<br />
than one-twentieth in principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the date of the<br />
meeting.<br />
10.3 A demand by a proxy is deemed to be a demand by the Noteholder appointing the<br />
proxy.<br />
10.4 Unless a poll is demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the<br />
chairman that the resolution has been carried, or carried by a particular majority, or<br />
lost or not carried by a particular majority, and an entry to that effect in the book<br />
containing the minutes of proceedings, is conclusive evidence of the fact without<br />
proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the<br />
resolution.<br />

11. PROCEDURE ON A POLL<br />
11.1 If a poll is properly demanded, it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman may<br />
direct. He may appoint scrutineers, who need not be Noteholders, and may fix a time<br />
and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result of the poll is deemed to be the<br />
resolution of the meeting at which the poll is demanded.<br />
11.2 A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on any question of adjournment<br />
shall be taken at the meeting and without adjournment. A poll demanded on another<br />
question shall be taken at such time and place as the chairman may decide, either at<br />
once or after an interval or adjournment (but not more than 30 clear days after the date<br />
of the demand).<br />
11.3 No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately if the time and place at which<br />
it is to be taken are announced at the meeting at which it is demanded. In any other<br />
case at least seven clear days' notice shall be given specifying the time and place at<br />
which the poll is to be taken.<br />
11.4 The demand for a poll may be withdrawn but only with the consent of the chairman.<br />
A demand withdrawn in this way validates the result of a show of hands declared<br />
before the demand is made. In the case of a poll demanded before the declaration of<br />
the result of a show of hands, the meeting shall continue as if the demand had not<br />
been made.<br />
11.5 The demand for a poll (other than on the election of the chairman or on a question of<br />
adjournment) does not prevent the meeting continuing for the transaction of business<br />
other than the question on which a poll has been demanded.<br />
11.6 On a poll, votes may be given in person or by proxy and a Noteholder entitled to more<br />
than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the<br />
same way.<br />
12. VOTES OF NOTEHOLDERS<br />
12.1 On a show of hands at a meeting:<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
12.1.1 every Noteholder present (but not being present by proxy) and entitled to vote<br />
on the resolution has one vote; and<br />
12.1.2 every proxy present who has been duly appointed by a Noteholder entitled to<br />
vote on the resolution has one vote, except where:<br />
(a) that proxy has been duly appointed by more than one Noteholder<br />
entitled to vote on the resolution; and<br />
(b) the proxy has been instructed:<br />
(i) by one or more of those Noteholders to vote for the resolution<br />
and by one or more of those Noteholders to vote against the<br />
resolution; or<br />
- 24 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
(ii) by one or more of those Noteholders to vote in the same way<br />
on the resolution (whether for or against) and one or more of<br />
those Noteholders has given the proxy discretion as to how to<br />
vote,<br />
in which case, the proxy has one vote for and one vote against the resolution.<br />
12.2 On a poll at a meeting, every Noteholder present in person or by proxy and entitled to<br />
vote has one vote for every £1 in principal amount of the Note or Notes of which the<br />
relevant Noteholder or Noteholders is the holder.<br />
12.3 In the case of joint holders of a Note, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote,<br />
whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the<br />
other joint holders, and seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the<br />
holders stand in the Register.<br />
13. CASTING VOTE<br />
In the case of an equality of votes the chairman shall not have a casting vote.<br />
14. VOTING BY PROXY<br />
14.1 A form of appointment of proxy shall be in writing in any usual form (or in another<br />
form approved by the Board) executed by the appointor or his duly constituted<br />
attorney or, if the appointor is a company, under its seal or under the hand of its duly<br />
authorised officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign.<br />
14.2 A form of appointment of proxy is deemed (unless the contrary is stated in it) to<br />
confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on a resolution or<br />
amendment of a resolution put to, or other business which may properly come before,<br />
the meeting or meetings for which it is given, as the proxy thinks fit.<br />
14.3 A proxy need not be a Noteholder.<br />
14.4 A Noteholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion.<br />
When two or more valid but differing forms of appointment of proxy are delivered for<br />
the same Note for use at the same meeting, the one which is last validly delivered<br />
(regardless of its date or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and<br />
revoking the other or others as regards that Note.<br />
14.5 Deposit of a form of appointment of proxy does not prevent a Noteholder attending<br />
and voting in person at the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting or on a poll.<br />
14.6 A form of appointment of proxy is (unless the contrary is stated in it) valid for an<br />
adjournment of the meeting as well as for the meeting or meetings to which it relates.<br />
A form of appointment of proxy is valid for 12 months from the date of execution.<br />
14.7 The Company may send a form of appointment of proxy to all or none of the persons<br />
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at a meeting. If sent the form of appointment<br />
of proxy shall provide for three-way voting on all resolutions set out in the notice of<br />
meeting.<br />

15. DEPOSIT OF PROXY<br />

LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
15.1.1 deposited at the place in the United Kingdom specified in the notice convening<br />
the meeting or in a form of appointment of proxy or other accompanying<br />
document sent by the Company in relation to the meeting, not less than<br />
48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting or the<br />
taking of a poll at which the person named in the form of appointment of<br />
proxy proposes to vote;<br />
15.1.2 in the case of a form of appointment of proxy sent by electronic means, where<br />
the Company has given an email address or fax number for that purpose:<br />
(a) in the notice calling the meeting;<br />
(b) in a form of appointment of proxy sent out by the Company in relation<br />
to the meeting; or<br />
(c) in an invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to<br />
the meeting,<br />
be received at such address or number not less than 48 hours before the time<br />
for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting or the taking of a poll at which<br />
the person named in the form of appointment of proxy proposes to vote;<br />
15.1.3 in the case of a meeting adjourned for less than 28 days but more than 48<br />
hours or in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded,<br />
deposited as required by paragraph 15.1.1 or 15.1.2 but not less than 24 hours<br />
before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting or the<br />
taking of the poll; or<br />
15.1.4 in the case of a meeting adjourned for less than 48 hours or in the case of a<br />
poll not taken immediately but taken not more than 48 hours after it was<br />
demanded, delivered at the adjourned meeting or at the meeting at which the<br />
poll was demanded to the chairman or to the secretary or to a director of the<br />
Company.<br />
15.2 A form of appointment of proxy not deposited or delivered in accordance with<br />
paragraph 15.1 is invalid.<br />
16. WHEN VOTES BY PROXY VALID THOUGH AUTHORITY REVOKED<br />
A vote given or poll demanded by a proxy or corporate representative is valid despite<br />
termination of his authority unless notice of termination is received by the Company<br />
at the place specified for depositing the form of appointment of proxy at least<br />
one hour before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the<br />
vote is given or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the<br />
meeting or adjourned meeting) the time appointed for the taking of the poll at which<br />
the vote is cast.<br />
- 26 -<br />
70-40485392
17. CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE<br />
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
A company which is a Noteholder may, by resolution of its directors or other<br />
governing body, authorise a person to act as its representative at a meeting (the<br />
"corporate representative"). The corporate representative may exercise on behalf of<br />
the company (in respect of that part of the company's holding of Notes to which the<br />
authorisation relates) those powers that the company could exercise if it were an<br />
individual Noteholder. For the avoidance of doubt, the company is for the purposes<br />
of this schedule deemed to be present in person at a meeting if the corporate<br />
representative is present. Each reference to attendance and voting in person is to be<br />
construed accordingly. A member of the Board or the secretary of the Company or<br />
other person authorised by such member or the secretary may require the corporate<br />
representative to produce a certified copy of the resolution of authorisation before<br />
permitting him to exercise his powers.<br />
18. OBJECTIONS TO AND ERROR IN VOTING<br />
No objection may be made to the qualification of a voter or to the counting of, or<br />
failure to count, a vote, except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote<br />
objected to is tendered or at which the error occurs. An objection properly made shall<br />
be referred to the chairman and only invalidates the result of the voting if, in the<br />
opinion of the chairman, it is of sufficient magnitude to affect the decision of the<br />
meeting. The decision of the chairman is conclusive and binding on all concerned.<br />
19. AMENDMENTS TO RESOLUTIONS<br />
If an amendment proposed to a resolution under consideration is ruled out of order by<br />
the chairman the proceedings on the substantive resolution are not invalidated by an<br />
error in his ruling.<br />
20. EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTIONS<br />
20.1 In addition to any other power, a meeting of Noteholders may, with the prior written<br />
consent of the Guarantor, by Extraordinary Resolution and with the consent of the<br />
Company sanction any modification, abrogation, variation or compromise of the<br />
provisions of the Deed and/or the rights of the Noteholder under this Deed unless any<br />
such modification, abrogation, variation or compromise would not (in the opinion of<br />
the Board) be prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or is of a formal, minor or<br />
technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error, in which case neither the<br />
sanction of an Extraordinary Resolution nor the consent of the Noteholders shall be<br />
required.<br />
20.2 Without limiting paragraph 20.1, the Noteholders have power to sanction in<br />
accordance with paragraph 20.1:<br />
20.2.1 an agreement for postponing the time for the payment of principal moneys or<br />
interest payable in respect of the Notes;<br />
20.2.2 an agreement for reducing the rate of interest or for the capitalisation of any<br />
interest;<br />
- 27 -<br />
70-40485392
LONDON 3726997 v2 (2K)<br />
20.2.3 an agreement for the exchange of Notes for, or conversion of Notes into, other<br />
securities of the Company or another company; and<br />
20.2.4 a matter which under the provisions of this Deed is required to be sanctioned<br />
by Extraordinary Resolution<br />
PROVIDED THAT any such resolution exercising any such power shall only be<br />
effective if the Company agrees to it in writing, before the convening of the meeting<br />
or within seven days after the date of any such resolution in writing.<br />
20.3 An Extraordinary Resolution is binding upon each Noteholder whether or not present<br />
at the meeting and each Noteholder is bound to give effect to the Extraordinary<br />
Resolution.<br />
21. NOTEHOLDERS' WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS<br />
A resolution in writing executed by or on behalf of Noteholders holding 95 per cent.<br />
in principal amount of Notes for the time being outstanding who would have been<br />
entitled to vote upon it if it had been proposed at a meeting at which the Noteholder<br />
was present is as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting duly convened and<br />
held. The resolution in writing may consist of several instruments in the same form<br />
each duly executed by or on behalf of one or more Noteholders. If the resolution in<br />
writing is described as an Extraordinary Resolution, it has effect accordingly.<br />
22. MINUTES OF MEETINGS<br />
22.1 The Company shall cause minutes of all proceedings of meetings of the Noteholders<br />
to be entered in books kept for that purpose.<br />
22.2 A minute, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of the meeting at which the<br />
proceedings took place, or by the chairman of the next meeting, is conclusive<br />
evidence of the proceedings.<br />
22.3 Where minutes have been made in accordance with this paragraph 22 of the<br />
proceedings at a meeting then, until the contrary is proved, the meeting is deemed<br />
duly held and convened, and all proceedings had at the meeting to have been duly<br />
had.<br />
