      	5.1  	
              Declaration
                of Trust:
                All moneys received by the Trustee in respect of the Notes or amounts
                payable under this Trust Deed will, despite any appropriation of
                all or
                part of them by the Issuer, be held by the Trustee on trust to apply
                them
                (subject to Clause 5.2):

            


    

     

    
      	5.1.1  	
              first,
                in payment of all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities properly
                incurred by the Trustee (including remuneration payable to it) in
                carrying
                out its functions under this Trust Deed


            


    

     

    
      	5.1.2  	
              secondly,
                in payment of any amounts owing in respect of the Notes or Coupons
                pari passu
                and rateably and

            


    

     

    
      	5.1.3  	
              thirdly,
                in payment of any balance to the Issuer for
                itself.

            


    

     

    If
      the
      Trustee holds any moneys in respect of Notes or Coupons which have become void,
      the Trustee will hold them on these trusts.

     

    
      	5.2  	
              Accumulation:
                If
                the amount of the moneys at any time available for payment in respect
                of
                the Notes under Clause 5.1 is less than 10 per cent. of the nominal
                amount
                of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee may, at its discretion,
                invest
                such moneys. The Trustee may retain such investments and accumulate
                the
                resulting income until the investments and the accumulations, together
                with any other funds for the time being under its control and available
                for such payment, amount to at least 10 per cent. of the nominal
                amount of
                the Notes then outstanding and then such investments, accumulations
                and
                funds (after deduction of, or provision for, any applicable taxes)
                will be
                applied as specified in Clause 5.1.

            


    

     

    
      	5.3  	
              Investment:
                Moneys held by the Trustee may be invested in its name or under its
                control in any investments or other assets anywhere whether or not
                they
                produce income or deposited in its name or under its control at such
                bank
                or other financial institution in such currency as the Trustee may,
                in its
                absolute discretion, think fit. If that bank or institution is the
                Trustee
                or a subsidiary, holding or associated company of the Trustee, it
                need
                only account for an amount of interest equal to the standard amount
                of
                interest payable by it on such a deposit to an independent customer.
                The
                Trustee may at any time vary or transpose any such investments or
                assets
                or convert any moneys so deposited into any other currency, and will
                not
                be responsible for any resulting loss, whether by depreciation in
                value,
                change in exchange rates or
                otherwise.

                Remuneration:
                So
                long as any Note is outstanding the Issuer will pay the Trustee as

                to
                such Noteholder or Couponholder is duly
                made.

                If
                an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred
                or
                if the Trustee finds it expedient or necessary or is requested by
                the
                Issuer to undertake duties which they both agree to be of an exceptional
                nature or otherwise outside the scope of the Trustee’s normal duties under
                this Trust Deed, the Issuer will pay such additional remuneration
                as they
                may agree or, failing agreement as to any of the matters in this
                sub-Clause (or as to such sums referred to in Clause 7.1), as determined
                by an investment bank (acting as an expert) selected by the Trustee

                approved by the Issuer or, failing such approval, nominated by the
                President for the time being of The Law Society of England and Wales.
                The
                expenses involved in such nomination and such investment bank’s fee will
                be borne by the Issuer. The determination of such investment bank
                will be
                conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders
                and the
                Couponholders save in the case of a manifest
                error.

                is expedient and the Trustee need not call for further evidence and
                will
                not be responsible for any loss occasioned by acting on such a
                certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any certificate

                two Authorised Signatories of the Issuer where the Issuer procures
                the
                delivery of the same pursuant to its obligations to do so under the

                of
                manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties, and the
                Trustee
                shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by acting on any
                such

                in

                confidential financial or other information made available to the

              Determinations
                Conclusive:
                As
                between itself and the Noteholders and Couponholders the Trustee
                may in
                its absolute discretion determine all questions and doubts arising
                in
                relation to any of the provisions of this Trust Deed including (without

                by
                the Issuer of any obligation under the Notes or Trust Deed is materially
                prejudicial to the interests of Noteholders and Couponholders. Such
                determinations, whether made upon such a question actually raised
                or
                implied in the acts or proceedings of the Trustee, will be conclusive
                and

                law) be
                converted at such rate or rates, in accordance with such method and
                as at
                such date as may reasonably be specified by the Trustee but having
                regard
                to current rates of exchange, if available. Any rate, method and

                Event of Default is in its opinion capable of remedy and/or materially
                prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders. Any such determination
                will be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Noteholders and

                any
                class of Notes.

                have regard to any information provided to it by Euroclear, Clearstream,

                individually or by category) of any of their accountholders with
                entitlements to such Global Note, and the Trustee may consider such

              Enforcement:
                The Trustee may at any time, at its discretion and without notice,
                take
                such proceedings against the Issuer as it may think fit to enforce
                the
                provisions of the Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons, but it shall
                not
                be bound to take any such proceedings or any other action in relation
                to
                the Trust Deed, the Notes or the Coupons unless (a) it has been so
                directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders or so
                requested
                in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter in outstanding
                nominal
                amount of the Notes then outstanding and (b) it has been indemnified
                and/or secured to its satisfaction. No Noteholder or Couponholder
                shall be
                entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer unless the Trustee,
                having
                become bound so to proceed, fails so to do within a reasonable period
                and
                the failure shall be continuing.

    Section
      1
      of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to any function of the Trustee, provided
      that if the Trustee fails to show the degree of care and diligence required
      of
      it as trustee, nothing in this Trust Deed shall relieve or indemnify it from
      or
      against any liability which would otherwise attach to it in respect of any
      negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which it may be
      guilty.

      	10.1  	
              Waiver:
                The Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders
                and without prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent
                breach,
                from time to time and at any time, if in its opinion the interests
                of the
                Noteholders will not be materially prejudiced thereby, waive or authorise,
                on such terms as seem expedient to it, any breach or proposed breach
                by
                the Issuer of this Trust Deed or the Conditions or determine that
                an Event
                of Default, Potential Event of Default, Restructuring Event or Potential
                Restructuring Event will not be treated as such provided that the
                Trustee
                will not do so in contravention of an express direction given by
                an
                Extraordinary Resolution or a request made pursuant to Condition
                9. No
                such direction or request will affect a previous waiver, authorisation
                or
                determination. Any such waiver, authorisation or determination will
                be
                binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and, if the Trustee
                so
                requires, will be notified to the Noteholders as soon as
                practicable.

            


    

     

    
      	10.2  	
              Proof
                of Default:
                Proof that the Issuer has failed to pay a sum due to the holder of
                any one
                Note or Coupon will (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient
                evidence
                that it has made the same default as regards all other Notes or Coupons
                which are then payable.

    The
      Trustee and any other person, whether or not acting for itself, may acquire,
      hold or dispose of any Note, Coupon or other security (or any interest therein)
      of the Issuer or any other person, may enter into or be interested in any
      contract or transaction with any such person and may act on, or as depositary
      or
      agent for, any committee or body of holders of any securities of any such person
      in each case with the same rights as it would have had if the Trustee were
      not
      acting as Trustee and need not account for any profit.

              Modification:
                The Trustee may agree without the consent of the Noteholders or
                Couponholders to any modification to this Trust Deed which is, in
                its
                opinion, of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest
                error. The Trustee may also so agree to any modification to this
                Trust
                Deed which is in its opinion not materially prejudicial to the interests
                of the Noteholders, but such power does not extend to any such
                modification as is mentioned in the proviso to paragraph 2 of Schedule
                3.

      	12.2.1  	
              The
                Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders,
                agree to the substitution of the Issuer’s successor in business or any
                Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) (the
                “Substituted
                Obligor”)
                in place of the Issuer (or of any previous substitute under this
                sub-Clause) as the principal debtor under this Trust Deed, the Notes
                and
                the Coupons provided that:

            


    

     

    
      	(i)  	
              a
                deed is executed or undertaking given by the Substituted Obligor
                to the
                Trustee, in form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee, agreeing
                to be
                bound by this Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons (with consequential
                amendments as the Trustee may deem appropriate) as if the Substituted
                Obligor had been named in this Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons
                as
                the principal debtor in place of the Issuer


            


    

     

    
      	(ii)  	
              if
                the Substituted Obligor is subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction
                of
                a territory or any authority of or in that territory with power to
                tax
                (the “Substituted

                other than the territory to the taxing jurisdiction of which (or
                to any
                such authority of or in which) the Issuer is subject generally (the
                “Issuer’s
                Territory”),
                the Substituted Obligor will (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees)
                give to
                the Trustee an undertaking satisfactory to the Trustee in terms
                corresponding to Condition 7 with the substitution for the references

                that Condition to the Issuer’s Territory of references to the Substituted
                Territory whereupon the Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons will
                be read
                accordingly

            


    

     

    
      	(iii)  	
              if

                that it
                will be solvent immediately after such substitution, the Trustee
                need not
                have regard to the Substituted Obligor’s financial condition, profits or
                prospects or compare them with those of the Issuer
                

            


    

     

    
      	(iv)  	
              the

              the

                and

                this

                (with
                consequential amendments as necessary) to the Trustee’s
                satisfaction.

                of
                the substitution will be given to the Noteholders within 14 days
                of the
                execution of such documents and compliance with such
                requirements.

                On
                completion of the formalities set out in Clause 12.2, the Substituted
                Obligor will be deemed to be named in this Trust Deed, the Notes
                and the
                Coupons as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or of any
                previous
                substitute) and this Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons will be
                deemed
                to be amended as necessary to give effect to the

      	13.1  	
              Appointment:
                Subject as provided in clause 13.2 below, the Issuer has the power
                of
                appointing new trustees but no-one may be so appointed unless previously
                approved by an Extraordinary Resolution. A trust corporation will
                at all
                times be a Trustee and may be the sole Trustee. Any appointment of
                a new
                Trustee will be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders as soon
                as
                practicable.

            


    

     

    
      	13.2  	
              Retirement
                and Removal:
                Any Trustee may retire at any time on giving at least three months’
                written notice to the Issuer without giving any reason or being
                responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement and the
                Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution remove any Trustee provided
                that the retirement or removal of a sole trust corporation will not
                be
                effective until a trust corporation is appointed as successor Trustee.
                If
                a sole trust corporation gives notice of retirement or an Extraordinary
                Resolution is passed for its removal, the Issuer will use all reasonable
                endeavours to procure that another trust corporation be appointed
                as
                Trustee and if it does not procure the appointment of a new trustee
                within
                30 days of the expiry of the Trustee’s notice referred to in this Clause,
                the Trustee shall be entitled to procure forthwith a new
                trustee.

            


    

     

    
      	13.3  	
              Co-Trustees:
                The Trustee may, despite Clause 13.1, by written notice to the Issuer
                appoint anyone to act as an additional Trustee jointly with the
                Trustee:

            


    

     

    
      	13.3.1  	
              if
                the Trustee considers the appointment to be in the interests of the
                Noteholders and/or the
                Couponholders

            


    

     

    
      	13.3.2  	
              to
                conform with a legal requirement, restriction or condition in a
                jurisdiction in which a particular act is to be performed
                or

            


    

     

    
      	13.3.3  	
              to

                Trust
                Deed in any jurisdiction.

            


    

     

    Subject
      to the provisions of this Trust Deed the Trustee may confer on any person so
      appointed such functions as it thinks fit. The Trustee may by written notice
      to
      the Issuer and that person remove that person. At the Trustee’s request, the
      Issuer will forthwith do all things as may be required to perfect such
      appointment or removal and it irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its attorney
      in its name and on its behalf to do so.

     

    
      	13.4  	
              Competence
                of a Majority of Trustees:
                If
                there are more than two Trustees the majority of them will be competent
                to
                perform the Trustee’s functions provided the majority includes a trust
                corporation.

                with
                which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
                merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be
                a party,
                or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate
                trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
                hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified
                and
                eligible under this Clause, without the execution or filing of any
                paper
                or any further act on the part of the parties
                hereto.

              Couponholders

            


    

     

    No
      notices need be given to Couponholders. They will be deemed to have notice
      of
      the contents of any notice given to Noteholders. Even if it has express notice
      to the contrary, in exercising any of its functions by reference to the
      interests of the Noteholders, the Trustee will assume that the holder of each
      Note is the holder of all Coupons relating to it.

                preclude
                the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently
                or not).

    The
      Notes
      and the Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the

      as
      provided above) rank pari
      passu,
      among
      themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law)
      equally with all other outstanding unsecured obligations (other than
      subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer from time to time
      outstanding.

    So
      long
      as any Note remains outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed) the Issuer will,
      and will procure that each of its Distribution Subsidiaries (as defined below)
      will, ensure that no Relevant Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Issuer
      or
      any Distribution Subsidiary or of any other person and no guarantee by the
      Issuer or any Distribution Subsidiary of any Relevant Indebtedness of any person
      will be secured by a mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest
      (each a “Security
      Interest”)
      upon,
      or with respect to, any of the present or future business, undertaking, assets
      or revenues (including any uncalled capital) of the Issuer or any Distribution
      Subsidiary unless the Issuer, before or at the same time as the creation of
      the
      Security Interest, take any and all action necessary to ensure
      that:

              all
                amounts payable by the Issuer under the Notes, the Coupons and the

                Deed are secured equally and rateably with the Relevant Indebtedness
                or
                guarantee, as the case may be, by the same Security Interest, in
                each case
                to the satisfaction of the Trustee;
                or

            


    

     

    
      	(b)  	
              such

                or not
                including the giving of a Security Interest) is provided in respect
                of all
                amounts payable by the Issuer under the Notes, the Coupons and the
                Trust
                Deed either (i) as the Trustee shall in its absolute discretion deem
                not
                materially less beneficial to the interests of the Noteholders or
                (ii) as
                shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the
                Trust
                Deed) of the Noteholders,

            


    

     

    save
      that
      the above restriction shall not apply to any Security Interest (1) provided
      by
      or in respect of a company becoming a Distribution Subsidiary after the issue

                redemption), as determined by an Independent Financial Adviser (as
                defined

                remain
                outstanding to 1 December 2056, would be equal to the Gross Real
                Yield on

                basis of

      any such references in Conditions 6.3 and 6.4.

     

    In
      this
      Condition:

     

    “Reference
      Stock”
means
      the 1.25 per cent. Index-Linked Treasury Stock due 2055 or, if such Treasury
      Stock is no longer in issue, such other United Kingdom government stock as
      the
      Independent Financial Adviser may, with the advice of three brokers and/or
      market makers operating in the gilt edged market, agree with the Issuer, or
      failing such agreement, decide from time to time to be appropriate;
      and

     

    The
      “Gross
      Real Yield”
on
      the
      Notes and on the Reference Stock will be expressed as a percentage and will
      be
      calculated by the Independent Financial Adviser in accordance with generally
      accepted market practice at such time, as advised by the Independent Financial
      Adviser.

     

    At
      any
      time when under these Conditions it is necessary to have, or the Trustee
      requests, the advice of brokers and/or market makers operating in the gilt
      edged
      market, the Issuer shall select and appoint them with the prior written approval
      of the Trustee and at the expense of the Issuer.

     

    Notices
      of redemption will specify the date fixed for redemption and the applicable
      Redemption Price. Upon the expiry of any notice of redemption the Issuer shall
      be bound to redeem the Notes at the applicable Redemption Price.

                for Taxation Reasons

            


    

     

    If
      the
      Issuer satisfies the Trustee immediately before the giving of the notice
      referred to below that:

     

    
      	(a)  	
              as
                a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations
                of a
                Relevant Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 7), or any change
                in the
                application or official interpretation of the laws or regulations
                of a
                Relevant Jurisdiction, which change or amendment becomes effective
                after
                29 November 2006, on the next Interest Payment Date the Issuer would
                be
                required to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in
                Condition
                7; and

            


    

     

    
      	(b)  	
              the
                requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures
                available to it,

            


    

     

    the
      Issuer may at its option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 (which notice shall
      be
      irrevocable), redeem all the Notes, but not some only, at any time at their
      outstanding nominal amount together with interest accrued to but excluding
      the
      date of redemption (each as adjusted for indexation in accordance with Condition
      8), provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than
      90
      days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be required to pay
      such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due. Prior
      to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph,
      the
      Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two directors of
      the
      Issuer stating that the requirement referred to in (a) above will apply on
      the
      next Interest Payment Date and cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable
      measures available to it, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept the
      certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions
      precedent set out above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding
      on
      the Noteholders and the Couponholders.

              Redemption
                at the option of Noteholders on a Restructuring
                Event

            


    

     

    
      	(a)  	 


    

     

    
      	(i)  	
              If,
                at any time while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Restructuring
                Event (as defined below) occurs and prior to the commencement of
                or during
                the Restructuring Period (as defined
                below):

            


    

     

    
      	(A)  	
              an
                independent financial adviser (as described below) shall have certified
                in
                writing to the Trustee that such Restructuring Event will not be
                or is
                not, in its opinion, materially prejudicial to the interests of the
                Noteholders; or

            


    

     

    
      	(B)  	
              if
                there are Rated Securities (as defined below), each Rating Agency
                (as
                defined below) that at such time has assigned a current rating to
                the
                Rated Securities confirms in writing to the Trustee that it will
                not be
                withdrawing or reducing the then current rating assigned to the Rated
                Securities by it from an investment grade rating (BBB-/Baa3, or their
                respective equivalents for the time being, or better) to a non-investment
                grade rating (BB+/Bal, or their respective equivalents for the time
                being,
                or worse) or, if the Rating Agency shall have already rated the Rated
                Securities below investment grade (as described above), the rating
                will
                not be lowered by one full rating category or more, in each case
                as a
                result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised
                in or
                arising as a result of the applicable Restructuring
                Event,

            


    

     

    the
      following provisions of this Condition 6.4 shall cease to have any further
      effect in relation to such Restructuring Event.

     

    
      	(ii)  	
              If,
                at any time while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Restructuring
                Event occurs and (subject to Condition
                6.4(a)(i)):

            


    

     

    
      	(A)  	
              within
                the Restructuring Period, either:

            


    

     

    (x)
       if
      at the
      time such Restructuring Event occurs there are Rated Securities, a Rating
      Downgrade (as defined below) in respect of such Restructuring Event also occurs;
      or

     

    (y)
       if
      at
      such time there are no Rated Securities, a Negative Rating Event (as defined
      below) in respect of such Restructuring Event also occurs; and

     

    
      	(B)  	
              an
                independent financial adviser shall have certified in writing to
                the
                Trustee that such Restructuring Event is, in its opinion, materially
                prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders (a “Negative
                Certification”),

            


    

     

    then,
      unless at any time the Issuer shall have given notice under Condition 6.2,
      6.3
      or 6.4, the holder of each Note will, upon the giving by the Issuer of a Put
      Event Notice (as defined below), have the option (the “Restructuring
      Put Option”)
      to
      require the Issuer to redeem or, at the option of the Issuer, purchase (or
      procure the purchase of) that Note on the Put Date (as defined below), at its
      outstanding nominal amount together with (or, where purchased, together with
      an
      amount equal to) interest (if any) accrued to (but excluding) the Put Date
      (in
      each case, as adjusted for indexation in accordance with Condition
      8).

     

    A
      Restructuring Event shall be deemed not to be materially prejudicial to the
      interests of the Noteholders if, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Rating
      Downgrade or a Negative Rating Event, the rating assigned to the Rated
      Securities by any Rating Agency (as defined below) is subsequently increased
      to,
      or, as the case may be, there is assigned to the Notes or other unsecured and
      unsubordinated debt of the Issuer (or of any Subsidiary of the Issuer and which
      is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Issuer) having
      an
      initial maturity of five years or more by any Rating Agency, an investment
      grade
      rating (BBB-/Baa3) or their respective equivalents for the time being) or better
      prior to any Negative Certification being issued.

     

    Any
      certification by an independent financial adviser as aforesaid as to whether
      or
      not, in its opinion, any Restructuring Event is materially prejudicial to the
      interests of the Noteholders shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
      conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders. The
      Issuer may, at any time, with the prior written approval of the Trustee appoint
      an independent financial adviser for the purposes of this Condition 6.4. If,
      within 14 London business days following the occurrence of a Restructuring
      Event, the Issuer shall not have appointed an independent financial adviser
      for
      the purposes of Condition 6.4(a)(ii)(B) and (if so required by the Trustee)
      the
      Trustee is indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against the costs
      of
      such adviser, the Trustee may appoint an independent financial adviser for
      such
      purpose following consultation with the Issuer.

     

    
      	(b)  	
              Promptly
                upon the Issuer becoming aware of the occurrence of a Put Event (as
                defined below), and in any event not later than 14 days after the
                occurrence of a Put Event, the Issuer shall, and at any time upon
                the
                Trustee becoming similarly so aware the Trustee may, and if so requested
                by the holders of at least one-quarter in nominal amount of the Notes
                then
                outstanding shall (and subject to it being indemnified and/or secured
                to
                its satisfaction), give notice (a “Put
                Event Notice”)
                to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 specifying the
                nature
                of the Put Event and the procedure for exercising the Restructuring
                Put
                Option.

            


    

     

    
      	(c)  	
              To
                exercise the Restructuring Put Option, the holder of a Note must
                deliver
                at the specified office of any Paying Agent on any Business Day (as
                defined in Condition 5.5) at the place of such specified office falling
                within the Put Period, a duly signed and completed notice of exercise
                in
                the form (for the time being current and which may, if this Note
                is held
                in a clearing system, be any form acceptable to the clearing system
                delivered in a manner acceptable to the clearing system) obtainable
                from
                any specified office of any Paying Agent (a “Put
                Notice”)
                and in which the holder must specify a bank account (or, if payment
                is to
                be made by cheque, an address) to which payment is to be made under this
                paragraph accompanied by such Notes or evidence satisfactory to the
                Paying
                Agent concerned that such Notes will, following the delivery of the
                Put
                Notice, be held to its order or under its control. A Put Notice given
                by a
                holder of any Note shall be irrevocable except where, prior to the
                due
                date of redemption, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
                in
                which event such holder, at its option, may elect by notice to the
                Issuer
                to withdraw the Put Notice. For the purposes of this Condition, the
                “Put
                Period”
                shall mean the period of 45 days after that on which a Put Event
                Notice is
                given. Subject to the relevant Noteholder having complied with this
                Condition, the Issuer shall redeem or, at the option of the Issuer,
                purchase (or procure the purchase of) the relevant Note on the fifteenth
                day after the date of expiry of the Put Period (the “Put Date”)
                unless previously redeemed or
                purchased.

                “Negative
                Rating Event”
                shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Issuer does not, either
                prior
                to or not later than 14 days after the date of a Negative Certification
                in
                respect of the relevant Restructuring Event, seek, and thereupon
                use all
                reasonable endeavours to obtain, a rating of the Notes or any other
                unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Issuer (or of any Subsidiary
                of
                the Issuer and which is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated
                basis by the Issuer) having an initial maturity of five years or
                more from
                a Rating Agency or (B) if it does so seek and use such endeavours,
                it is
                unable, as a result of such Restructuring Event, to obtain such a
                rating
                of at least investment grade (BBB-/Baa3, or their respective equivalents
                for the time being).

                either a Rating Downgrade or, as the case may be, a Negative Rating
                Event
                and (C) the relevant Negative
                Certification.

                the
                prior written approval of the
                Trustee.

                if
                the then current rating assigned to the Rated Securities by any Rating
                Agency (whether provided by a Rating Agency at the invitation of
                the
                Issuer or by its own volition) is withdrawn or reduced from an investment
                grade rating (BBB-/Baa3) or their respective equivalents for the
                time
                being, or better) to a non-investment grade rating (BB+/Bal) or their

              If
                the Index is changed by the substitution of a new base therefor,
                then with
                effect from, and including, the calendar month in which such substitution
                takes effect:

            


    

     

    
      	(A)  	
              the
                definition of “Index”
                and “Index
                Figure”
                shall be deemed to refer to the new month in substitution for January
                1987
                (or, as the case may be, such other month as may have been substituted
                therefor under this sub-paragraph (i));
                and

            


    

     

    
      	(B)  	
              the
                new Base Index Figure shall be the product of the then existing Base
                Index
                Figure and the Index Figure applicable immediately following such
                substitution, divided by the Index Figure applicable immediately
                prior to
                such substitution.

            


    

     

    
      	(ii)  	
              If
                in relation to a particular payment of interest or principal in respect
                of
                the Notes the Index relating to any month (the “relevant
                month”),
                which is required to be taken into account for the purposes of the
                determination of the Index Figure applicable to any such payment
                of
                interest or principal is not published on or before the tenth business
                day
                before the date (the “date
                for payment”)
                on which such payment is due otherwise than because the Index has
                ceased
                to be published, the Index relating to the relevant month shall be
                deemed
                to be:

            


    

     

    
      	(A)  	
              such
                substitute index figure (if any) as the Indexation Adviser shall
                agree to
                have been published by the Bank of England or the United Kingdom
                Debt
                Management Office for the purposes of indexation of payments on the
                Reference Gilt or, failing such publication, on any one or more issue
                of
                index-linked Treasury stock selected by the Indexation Adviser;
                or

            


    

     

    
      	(B)  	
              if
                no such determination is made by the Indexation Adviser within seven
                days,
                the Index last published (or, if later, the substitute index figure
                last
                determined pursuant to sub-paragraph (A) above before the date for
                payment).

            


    

     

    Where
      the
      provisions of this sub-paragraph (ii) apply, the determination of the Indexation
      Adviser as to the Index Figure applicable to the relevant date for payment
      falls
      shall be conclusive and binding. If, an Index Figure having been applied
      pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) above, the Index Figure relating to the relevant
      month is subsequently published while a Note is still outstanding no subsequent
      adjustment to amounts paid will be made.

     

    
      	(iii)  	 


    

     

    (A) If:

     

    (x) the
      Index
      has ceased to be published; or

     

    (y) any
      change is made to the coverage or the basic calculation of the
      Index,

     

    the
      Issuer will appoint an Indexation Adviser (unless one has already been appointed
      pursuant to these Conditions) and the Issuer and the Indexation Adviser together
      shall (in the case of (y) above only if the change would, in the opinion of
      the
      Indexation Adviser, be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Issuer
      or
      the Noteholders) seek to agree for the purpose of the Notes one or more
      adjustments to the Index or a substitute index (with or without adjustments)
      with the intention that the same should leave the Issuer and the Noteholders
      in
      no better and no worse position than they would have been had the Index not
      ceased to be published or the relevant fundamental change not been
      made.

     

    (B) 
If
      the
      Issuer and the Indexation Adviser fail to reach such agreement within 20
      business days following the giving of such notice by the Indexation Adviser,
      a
      bank or other person in London shall be selected by the Issuer and approved
      by
      the Trustee and appointed by the Issuer, or, failing agreement on such selection
      within 20 business days following the expiry of the 20 business day period
      referred to above, selected by the Trustee only, in its sole discretion and
      without further liability to any person for making such selection, and appointed
      by the Issuer (in each case, such bank or other person so appointed being
      referred to as the “Expert”),
      to
      determine for the purpose of the Notes one or more adjustments to the Index
      or a
      substitute index (with or without adjustments) with the intention that the
      same
      would leave the Issuer and the Noteholders in no better and no worse position
      than they would have been had the Index not ceased to be published or the
      relevant fundamental change not been made. Any Expert so appointed shall act
      as
      an expert and not as an arbitrator and all fees, costs and expenses of the
      Expert, the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such appointment shall
      be
      borne by the Issuer.

     

    (C) 
If
      the
      Index shall be adjusted or replaced by a substitute index as agreed by the
      Issuer and the Index Adviser or as determined by the Expert pursuant to the
      foregoing paragraphs, as the case may be, references in these Conditions to
      the
      Index and to any Index Figure shall be deemed amended in such manner as the
      Index Adviser and the Issuer may agree, or as the Expert may determine, to
      give
      effect to such adjustment or replacement. Such amendments shall be effective
      from the date of such agreement or determination and binding upon the Issuer,
      the Trustee and the Noteholders and the Issuer shall give notice to the
      Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 of such amendments as promptly
      as
      practicable following such agreement or determination.

                of Indexation Adviser and
                Expert

            


    

     

    At
      any
      time when under these Conditions it is necessary to have, or the Trustee
      requests, the appointment of an Indexation Adviser or Expert, the Issuer shall
      take such steps as are necessary to appoint an Indexation Adviser or, as the
      case may be, Expert, in either case approved by the Trustee and at the expense
      of the Issuer.

    The
      Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders
      of
      at least one-quarter in nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if
      so
      directed by an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject in each case to being
      indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction), (but in the case of the
      happening of any of the events described in paragraphs (b), (c) and (e) to
      (g)
      inclusive below, only if the Trustee shall have certified in writing to the
      Issuer that such event is, in its opinion, materially prejudicial to the
      interests of the Noteholders), give notice in writing to the Issuer that each
      Note is, and each Note shall thereupon immediately become, due and repayable
      at
      its outstanding nominal amount together with accrued interest (each as adjusted
      for indexation in accordance with Condition 8) as provided in the Trust Deed
      if
      any of the following events (each an “Event
      of Default”)
      shall
      have occurred:

     

    
      	(a)  	
              Non-Payment

            


    

     

    if
      default is made in the payment of any principal or interest due in respect
      of
      the Notes or any of them and the default continues for a period of 14 days
      in
      the case of principal and 21 days in the case of interest or, where relevant,
      the Issuer, having become obliged to redeem, purchase or procure the purchase
      of
      (as the case may be) any Notes pursuant to Condition 6.4 fails to do so within
      a
      period of 14 days of having become so obliged; or

     

    
      	(b)  	
              Breach
                of Other Obligations

            


    

     

    if
      the
      Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its other obligations, covenants,
      conditions or provisions under the Notes or the Trust Deed and (except where
      the
      Trustee shall have certified to the Issuer in writing that it considers such
      failure to be incapable of remedy in which case no such notice or continuation
      as is hereinafter mentioned will be required) the failure continues for the
      period of 60 days (or such longer period as the Trustee may in its absolute
      discretion permit) next following the service by the Trustee on the Issuer
      of
      notice requiring the same to be remedied; or

              Cross-Default

            


    

     

    if
      (i)
      any other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer or any Principal
      Subsidiary becomes due and repayable prior to its stated maturity by reason
      of
      an event of default or (ii) any such indebtedness for borrowed money is not
      paid
      when due or, as the case may be, within any applicable grace period (as
      originally provided) or (iii) the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary fails
      to
      pay when due (or, as the case may be, within any originally applicable grace
      period) any amount payable by it under any present or future guarantee for,
      or
      indemnity in respect of, any indebtedness for borrowed money of any person
      or
      (iv) any security given by the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary for any
      indebtedness for borrowed money of any person or any guarantee or indemnity
      of
      indebtedness for borrowed money of any person becomes enforceable by reason
      of
      default in relation thereto and steps are taken to enforce such security save
      in
      any such case where there is a bona
      fide
      dispute
      as to whether the relevant indebtedness for borrowed money or any such guarantee
      or indemnity as aforesaid shall be due and payable, provided that the aggregate
      amount of the relevant indebtedness for borrowed money in respect of which
      any
      one or more of the events mentioned above in this sub-paragraph (c) has or
      have
      occurred equals or exceeds whichever is the greater of £20,000,000 or its
      equivalent in other currencies (on the basis of the middle spot rate for the
      relevant currency against the pound sterling as quoted by any leading bank
      on
      the day on which this paragraph applies) and two per cent. of the Capital and
      Reserves, and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph (c), “indebtedness for
      borrowed money” shall exclude Non-recourse Indebtedness; or

    if
      the
      Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary shall cease to carry on the whole or, in
      the
      opinion of the Trustee, substantially the whole of its business, save for the
      purposes of amalgamation, merger, consolidation, reorganisation, reconstruction
      or other similar arrangement (A) (x) not involving or arising out of the
      insolvency of the Issuer or such Principal Subsidiary and (y) under which all
      or, in the opinion of the Trustee, substantially all of its assets are

      payment of its debts generally or shall be declared or adjudicated by a
      competent court to be unable, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay
      its debts (within the meaning of section 123(1) or (2) of the Insolvency Act
      1986) as they fall due, or shall be adjudicated or found insolvent by a
      competent court or shall enter into any composition or other similar arrangement

      period as the Trustee may in its absolute discretion permit); or

     

    For
      the
      purposes of sub-paragraph (g) above, section 123(1)(a) of the Insolvency Act

      assets over or in respect of which security has been granted in respect of
      such
      indebtedness for borrowed money; and/or

     

    (B) recourse
      to such borrower for the purpose only of enabling amounts to be claimed in
      respect of such indebtedness for borrowed money in an enforcement of any
      encumbrance given by such borrower over any such asset or assets or the income,
      cash flow or other proceeds deriving therefrom (or given by any shareholder
      or
      the like in the borrower over its shares or the like in the capital of the
      borrower) to secure such indebtedness for borrowed money, provided that (aa)
      the
      extent of such recourse to such borrower is limited solely to the amount of
      any
      recoveries made on any such enforcement, and (bb) such person or persons is/are
      not entitled, by virtue of any right or claim arising out of or in connection
      with such indebtedness for borrowed money, to commence proceedings for the
      winding up or dissolution of the borrower or to appoint or procure the
      appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar person or officer in respect
      of
      the borrower or any of its assets (save for the assets the subject of such
      encumbrance); and/or

     

    (C) recourse
      to such borrower generally, or directly or indirectly to a member of the Group,
      under any form of assurance, undertaking or support, which recourse is limited
      to a claim for damages (other than liquidated damages and damages required
      to be
      calculated in a specified way) for breach of an obligation (not being a payment
      obligation or an obligation to procure payment by another or an indemnity in
      respect thereof or any obligation to comply or to procure compliance by another
      with any financial ratios or other tests of financial condition) by the person
      against whom such recourse is available.

      Excluded Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer, as the case may
      be,
      whose only indebtedness for borrowed money is Non-recourse
      Indebtedness):

     

    
      	(i)  	
              whose
                (a) profits on ordinary activities before tax or (b) gross assets,

                case attributable to the Issuer represent 20 per cent. or more of
                the
                consolidated profits on ordinary activities before tax of the Group
                or, as
                the case may be, consolidated gross assets of the Group, in each
                case as
                calculated by reference to the then latest audited financial statements
                of
                such Subsidiary (consolidated in the case of a company which itself
                has
                Subsidiaries) and the then latest audited consolidated financial
                statements of the Group provided that in the case of a Subsidiary
                acquired
                after the end of the financial period to which the then latest audited
                consolidated financial statements of the Group relate, the reference
                to
                the then latest audited consolidated financial statements of the
                Group for
                the purposes of the calculation above shall, until consolidated financial
                statements for the financial period in which the acquisition is made
                have
                been prepared and audited as aforesaid, be deemed to be a reference
                to
                such first-mentioned financial statements as if such Subsidiary had
                been
                shown in such financial statements by reference to its then latest
                relevant audited financial statements, adjusted as deemed appropriate
                by
                the Auditors; or

                to such
                transfer is a Principal Subsidiary, whereupon the transferor Subsidiary
                shall immediately cease to be a Principal Subsidiary and the transferee
                Subsidiary shall cease to be a Principal Subsidiary under the provisions
                of this sub-paragraph (ii), upon publication of its next audited
                financial
                statements (but without prejudice to the provisions of sub-paragraph
                (i)
                above) but so that such transferor Subsidiary or such transferee
                Subsidiary may be a Principal Subsidiary of the Issuer on or at any
                time
                after the date on which such audited financial statements have been
                published by virtue of the provisions of sub-paragraph (i) above
                or
                before, on or at any time after such date by virtue of the provisions

    A
      certificate by two directors of the Issuer that, in their opinion, a Subsidiary
      of the Issuer is or is not or was or was not at any particular time or
      throughout any specified period a Principal Subsidiary may be relied upon by
      the
      Trustee without further enquiry or evidence and the Trustee will not be
      responsible or liable for any loss occasioned by acting on such a certificate
      and, if relied upon by the Trustee, shall, in the absence of manifest error,
      be
      conclusive and binding on all parties, whether or not addressed to each such
      party.

      proceedings against the Issuer as it may think fit to enforce the provisions
      of
      the Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons, but it shall not be bound to take
      any
      such proceedings or any other action in relation to the Trust Deed, the Notes
      or
      the Coupons unless (a) it has been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution
      of
      the Noteholders or so requested in writing by the holders of at least one
      quarter in outstanding nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (b)

    Should
      any Note or Coupon be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed it may
      be
      replaced at the specified office of the Principal Paying Agent upon payment
      by
      the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with the replacement and
      on
      such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require.
      Mutilated or defaced Notes or Coupons must be surrendered before replacements
      will be issued.

      Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner which
      complies with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other relevant
      authority on which the Notes are for the time being listed or traded. Any such
      notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of the first publication
      or, where required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the date
      of
      the first publication in all required newspapers. If publication as provided
      above is not practicable, notice will be given in such other manner, and shall
      be deemed to have been given on such date, as the Trustee may approve.
      Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents
      of
      any notice given to the Noteholders in accordance with this
      paragraph.

      with
      the Issuer to the substitution of certain other entities (other than an Excluded
      Subsidiary) in place of the Issuer (or of any previous substitute under this
      Condition) as the principal debtor under the Notes, the Coupons and the Trust
      Deed, subject to:

     

    
      	(a)  	
              the

      any matter affecting their interests, including the modification or abrogation
      by Extraordinary Resolution of any of these Conditions or any of the provisions

      Resolution will be one or more persons present holding or representing more
      than
      50 per cent. in outstanding nominal amount of the Notes for the time being
      outstanding, or at any adjourned such meeting one or more persons present
      whatever the outstanding nominal amount of the Notes held or represented by
      him
      or them, except that, at any meeting the business of which includes the
      modification or abrogation of certain of the provisions of these Conditions
      and
      certain of the provisions of the Trust Deed, the necessary quorum for passing
      an
      Extraordinary Resolution will be one or more persons present holding or
      representing not less than three-quarters, or at any adjourned such meeting
      not
      less than one-quarter, of the outstanding nominal amount of the Notes for the
      time being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of
      the
      Noteholders will be binding on all Noteholders, whether or not they are present
      at the meeting, and on all Couponholders.

      to
      any modification of, or to the waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed
      breach of, any of these Conditions or any of the provisions of the Trust Deed,
      or determine, without any such consent as aforesaid, that any Event of Default
      or Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Trust Deed) shall not be
      treated as such (provided that, in any such case, it is not, in the opinion
      of
      the Trustee, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders) or
      may
      agree, without any such consent as aforesaid, to any modification which, in
      its
      opinion, is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest
      error.

    In
      connection with the exercise by it of any of its trusts, powers, authorities
      and
      discretions (including, without limitation, any modification, waiver,
      authorisation, determination or substitution), the Trustee shall have regard
      to
      the general interests of the Noteholders as a class but shall not have regard
      to
      any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Noteholders
      or
      Couponholders (whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation,
      shall not have regard to the consequences of any such exercise for individual
      Noteholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being
      for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or
      subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory or any political
      sub-division thereof and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor
      shall
      any Noteholder or Couponholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer, the
      Trustee or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any
      tax
      consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders or Couponholders
      except to the extent already provided for in Condition 7 and/or any undertaking
      given in addition to, or in substitution for, Condition 7 pursuant to the Trust
      Deed.

      Deed also contains provisions pursuant to which the Trustee is entitled, inter

      obligations and perform its duties under or in relation to any such transactions
      or, as case may be, any such trusteeship without regard to the interests of,
      or
      consequences for, the Noteholders or Couponholders, and (c) to retain and not
      be
      liable to account for any profit made or any other amount or benefit received

                ISSUES

            


    

     

    The
      Issuer is at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders
      or
      Couponholders to create and issue further notes or bonds (whether in bearer
      or
      registered form) either (a) ranking pari passu
      in all
      respects (or in all respects save for the first payment of interest thereon)
      and
      so that the same shall be consolidated and form a single series with the
      outstanding notes or bonds of any series (including the Notes) constituted
      by
      the Trust Deed or any supplemental deed or (b) upon such terms as to ranking,
      interest, conversion, redemption and otherwise as the Issuer may determine
      at
      the time of the issue. Any further notes or bonds which are to form a single
      series with the outstanding notes or bonds of any series (including the Notes)
      constituted by the Trust Deed or any supplemental deed shall, and any other
      further notes or bonds may (with the consent of the Trustee), be constituted
      by
      a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed. The Trust Deed contains provisions for
      convening a single meeting of the Noteholders and the holders of notes or bonds
      of other series in certain circumstances where the Trustee so
      decides.

      Notes set out in Schedule 1 to the trust deed dated 1 December 2006 (the
“Trust
      Deed”)
      between Western Power Distribution (South West) plc (the “Issuer”)
      and
      HSBC Trustee (C.I.) Limited as trustee (the “Trustee”))
      upon
      presentation and surrender of this Global Note and to interest at the rate
      of
      1.541 per cent. per annum on the outstanding nominal amount of the Notes in
      arrear on 1 June and 1 December in each year, adjusted for indexation as
      provided in, and otherwise subject to and in accordance with, the
      Conditions.

     

    The
      aggregate nominal amount from time to time of this Global Note shall be that
      amount not exceeding £120,000,000 as shall be shown by the latest entry in the
      fourth column of Schedule A hereto, which shall be completed by or on behalf
      of
      the Principal Paying Agent upon exchange of the whole or a part of the Temporary
      Global Note initially representing the Notes for a corresponding interest herein
      or upon the redemption or purchase and cancellation of Notes represented hereby
      or exchanged for Definitive Notes as described below.

     

    This
      Global Note is exchangeable in whole but not in part (free of charge to the
      holder) for the Definitive Notes described below (1) upon the happening of
      an
      Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9) by such holder giving notice to
      the
      Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent, or (2) if this Global Note is held on
      behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Alternative Clearing
      System (each as defined under “Notices”
below)
      and any such clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period
      of
      14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces
      an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so by such holder
      giving notice to the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent or (3) if the Issuer
      would suffer a material disadvantage in respect of the Notes as a result of
      a
      change in the laws or regulations (taxation or otherwise) of any jurisdiction
      referred to in Condition 7 which would not be suffered were the Notes in
      definitive form and a certificate to such effect signed by two directors of
      the
      Issuer is delivered to the Trustee, by the Issuer giving notice to the Trustee,
      Principal Paying Agent and the Noteholders, of its intention to exchange this
      Global Note for Definitive Notes on or after the Exchange Date specified in
      the
      notice.

     

    On
      or
      after the Exchange Date the holder of this Global Note may surrender this Global
      Note to or to the order of the Principal Paying Agent. In exchange for this
      Global Note, the Issuer shall deliver, or procure the delivery of, an equal
      aggregate nominal amount of duly executed and authenticated Definitive Notes
      having attached to them all Coupons in respect of interest which has not already
      been paid on this Global Note.

     

    “Exchange
      Date”
means
      a
      day falling not less than 60 days after that on which the notice requiring
      exchange is given and on which banks are open for business in the city in which
      the specified office of the Principal Paying Agent is located and except in
      the
      case of exchange pursuant to (2) above in the cities in which Euroclear and
      Clearstream, Luxembourg or, if relevant, the Alternative Clearing System (each
      as defined under “Notices”
below)
      are located.

     

    Except
      as
      otherwise described herein, this Global Note is subject to the Conditions and
      the Trust Deed and, until it is exchanged for Definitive Notes, its holder
      shall
      be entitled to the same benefits as if it were the holder of the Definitive
      Notes for which it may be exchanged and as if such Definitive Notes had been
      issued on the date of this Global Note.

     

    The
      Conditions shall be modified with respect to Notes represented by this Global
      Note by the following provisions:

     

    Payments

     

    Principal,
      any premium and interest in respect of this Global Note shall be paid to its
      holder against presentation and (if no further payment falls to be made on
      it)
      surrender of it to or to the order of the Principal Paying Agent in respect
      of
      the Notes (or to or to the order of such other Paying Agent as shall have been
      notified to the Noteholders for this purpose) which shall endorse such payment
      or cause such payment to be endorsed in the appropriate Schedule hereto (such
      endorsement being prima
      facie
      evidence
      that the payment in question has been made). References in the Conditions to
      Coupons and Couponholders shall be construed accordingly. No person shall
      however be entitled to receive any payment on this Global Note falling due
      after
      the Exchange Date, unless exchange of this Global Note for Definitive Notes
      is
      improperly withheld or refused by or on behalf of the Issuer. Condition 5.7(c)
      and Condition 7.1(d) will apply to the Definitive Notes only.

     

    Notices

     

    So
      long
      as this Global Note is held on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”)
      or
      Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream,
      Luxembourg”)
      or
      such other clearing system as shall have been approved by the Trustee (the
      “Alternative
      Clearing System”),
      notices required to be given to Noteholders may be given by their being
      delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or, as the case may be,
      the
      Alternative Clearing System, rather than by publication as required by the
      Conditions and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the
      Noteholders on the day after the day on which such notice is delivered to
      Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, or, as the case may be, the Alternative
      Clearing System. 

     

    Prescription

     

    Claims
      in
      respect of principal, any premium and interest in respect of this Global Note
      will become void unless it is presented for payment within a period of 10 years
      (in the case of principal and premium) and five years (in the case of interest)
      from the appropriate Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 7).

     

    Meetings

     

    For
      the
      purposes of any meeting of Noteholders, the holder hereof shall (unless this
      Global Note represents only one Note) be treated as two persons for the purposes
      of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Noteholders and, at any such meeting,
      as having one vote in respect of each £50,000 nominal amount of Notes for which
      this Global Note may be exchanged.

     

    Purchase
      and Cancellation

     

    Cancellation
      of any Note represented by this Global Note which is required by the Conditions
      to be cancelled will be effected by reduction in the nominal amount of this
      Global Note on its presentation to or to the order of the Principal Paying
      Agent
      for notation in Schedule A. Notes may only be purchased by the Issuer or any
      of
      its respective Subsidiaries if (where they should be cancelled in accordance
      with the Conditions) they are purchased together with the right to receive
      interest therein.

     

    Trustee’s
      Powers

     

    In
      considering the interests of Noteholders in circumstances where this Global
      Note
      is held on behalf of any one or more of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg
      and
      an Alternative Clearing System, the Trustee may, to the extent it considers
      it
      appropriate to do so in the circumstances, (a) have regard to such information
      as may have been made available to it by or on behalf of the relevant clearing
      system or its operator as to the identity of its accountholders (either
      individually or by way of category) with entitlements in respect of this Global
      Note and (b) consider such interests on the basis that such accountholders
      were
      the holder of this Global Note.

     

    Redemption
      at the option of Noteholders on a Restructuring Event

     

    The
      option of the Noteholders provided for in Condition 6.4 may be exercised by
      the
      holder of this Global Note giving notice to the Principal Paying Agent within
      the time limits relating to the deposit of Notes with a Paying Agent set out
      in
      that Condition substantially in the form of the redemption notice available
      from
      any Paying Agent and stating the nominal amount of Notes in respect of which
      the
      option is exercised and at the same time presenting this Global Note to the
      Principal Paying Agent for notation accordingly in Schedule C
      hereto.

     

    This
      Global Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until
      authenticated by or on behalf of the Principal Paying Agent.

      law.

                Paying
                Agent for the purpose. The Paying Agent shall then issue a voting

      	7  	
              Once

              the

                in a
                block voting instruction for a meeting, then, at least 48 hours before
                the

              The
                chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) a meeting
                adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. Only
                business which could have been transacted at the original meeting
                may be
                transacted at a meeting adjourned in accordance with this paragraph
                or
                paragraph 18.

              At
                least 10 days’ notice of a meeting adjourned through want of a quorum
                shall be given in the same manner as for an original meeting and
                that
                notice shall state the quorum required at the adjourned meeting.
                No notice
                need, however, otherwise be given of an adjourned
                meeting.

            


    

     

     

    Voting

     

    
      	22  	
              Each
                question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands
                unless
                a poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show
                of
                hands) demanded by the chairman, the Issuer, the Trustee or one or
                more
                persons representing 2 per cent. of the
                Notes.

            


    

     

    
      	23  	
              Unless
                a poll is demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution
                has or
                has not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without
                proof
                of the number or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against
                it.

            


    

     

    
      	24  	
              If
                a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject
                as
                provided below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman
                directs. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution
                of
                the meeting at which it was demanded as at the date it was taken.
                A demand
                for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing for the transaction
                of
                business other than the question on which it has been
                demanded.

            


    

     

    
      	25  	
              A
                poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of
                adjournment shall be taken at once.

            


    

     

    
      	26  	
              On
                a show of hands every person who is present in person and who produces
                a
                Note or a voting certificate or is a proxy has one vote. On a poll
                every
                such person has one vote for each £50,000 nominal amount of Notes so
                produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or
                for which
                he is a proxy or representative. Without prejudice to the obligations
                of
                proxies, a person entitled to more than one vote need not use them
                all or
                cast them all in the same way.

            


    

     

    
      	27  	
              In
                case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands
                and
                on a poll have a casting vote in addition to any other votes which
                he may
                have.

            


    

     

     

    Effect
      and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution

     

    
      	28  	
              An
                Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the Noteholders,
                whether
                or not present at the meeting, and on all the Couponholders and each
                of
                them shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing
                of such
                a resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances
                justify
                its being passed. The Issuer shall give notice of the passing of
                an
                Extraordinary Resolution to Noteholders within 14 days but failure
                to do
                so shall not invalidate the
                resolution.

            


    

     

     

    Minutes

     

    
      	29  	
              Minutes
                shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting
                and, if
                purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the
                next
                succeeding meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in
                them.
                Until the contrary is proved every meeting for which minutes have
                been so
                made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held
                and
                all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been
                duly
                passed and transacted.

            


    

     

     

    Trustee’s
      Power to Prescribe Regulations

     

    
      	30  	
              Subject
                to all other provisions in this Trust Deed the Trustee may without
                the
                consent of the Noteholders prescribe such further regulations regarding
                the holding of meetings and attendance and voting at them as it in
                its
                sole discretion determines including (without limitation) such
                requirements as the Trustee thinks reasonable to satisfy itself that
                the
                persons who purport to make any requisition in accordance with this
                Trust
                Deed are entitled to do so and as to the form of voting certificates
                or
                block voting instructions so as to satisfy itself that persons who
                purport
                to attend or vote at a meeting are entitled to do
                so.
