  5.5If the Fiscal Agent pays an amount (the Advance) to the Issuer on the basis that a payment (the Payment) has been or will be received from a Dealer and if the Payment is not received by the Fiscal Agent on the date the Fiscal Agent pays the Issuer, the Issuer shall repay to the Fiscal Agent the Advance and shall pay interest on the Advance (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) from (and including) the date the Advance is made to (but excluding) the earlier of repayment of the Advance or receipt by the Fiscal Agent of the Payment at a rate quoted at that time by the Fiscal Agent as its cost of funding the Advance provided that 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  evidence of the basis of such rate is given to the Issuer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Fiscal Agent shall not be obliged to pay any amount to the Issuer if it has not received satisfactory confirmation that it is to receive the amount from a Dealer.


  5.6Except in the case of issues where the Fiscal Agent does not act as receiving bank for the Issuer in respect of the purchase price of the Notes being issued, if on the Issue Date a Dealer does not pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Note (the Defaulted Note) and, as a result, the Defaulted Note remains in the Fiscal Agent's distribution account with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg after the Issue Date, the Fiscal Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of the Issuer.  The Fiscal Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of the failure of the Dealer to pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Defaulted Note and, subsequently, shall (a) notify the Issuer immediately on receipt from the Dealer of the full purchase price in respect of any Defaulted Note and (b) pay to the Issuer the amount so received. If by the third Business Day following the Issue Date, the Dealer has not paid the full purchase price due from it in respect of a Defaulted Note, the Issuer shall provide instructions to the Fiscal Agent for the immediate transfer of such Defaulted Note to another account. If by the close of business on the third Business Day following the Issue Date, the Issuer does not provide an instruction to the Fiscal Agent to deliver the Defaulted Note from the Fiscal Agent’s distribution account to another account, the Fiscal Agent shall arrange for the cancellation of the Defaulted Note and the Fiscal Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly thereafter.


  6.Payments


  6.1The Issuer or, failing the Issuer, the Guarantor shall, by no later than 10.00 a.m. (local time in the relevant financial centre of the payment or, in the case of a payment in euro, London time), on each date on which any payment in respect of any Note becomes due under the Conditions (or, in the Fiscal Agent's absolute discretion, by such earlier time and date as the Fiscal Agent may notify to the Issuer and the Guarantor as provided below), transfer to an account specified by the Fiscal Agent an amount in the relevant currency sufficient for the purposes of the payment in funds settled through such payment system as the Fiscal Agent and the Issuer may agree. If the Fiscal Agent determines in its absolute discretion that it requires a payment to be made pursuant to this subclause 6.1 earlier than the time stated above, it shall provide the Issuer and the Guarantor with no less than 21 days' prior notice of the same in writing.


  6.2Any funds paid by or by arrangement with the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent under subclause 6.1 shall be held for payment to the Noteholders until any Notes become void under Condition 9 (Prescription).  In that event the Fiscal Agent shall repay to the Issuer sums equivalent to the amounts which would otherwise have been repayable on the relevant Notes.


  6.3The Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor shall ensure that, before 10.00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Fiscal Agent under subclause 6.1, the Fiscal Agent shall receive a copy of an irrevocable payment instruction to the bank through which payment is to be made.  For the purposes of this subclause, Business Day means a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.


  6.4The Fiscal Agent shall notify each of the other Paying Agents, the Registrar and the Issuer and the Guarantor promptly:


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  (a)if it has not by the relevant date set out in subclause 6.1 received unconditionally the full amount in the Specified Currency required for the payment; and


  (b)if it receives unconditionally the full amount of any sum payable in respect of the Notes after such date.


  The Fiscal Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor, promptly upon receipt of any amount described in subparagraph (b), cause notice of that receipt to be published under Condition 13 (Notices).

  6.5Subject to the Fiscal Agent being satisfied in its sole discretion that payment will be duly made as provided in subclause 6.1, the Fiscal Agent or the relevant Paying Agent shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect of the Notes on behalf of the Issuer in the manner provided in the Conditions.  If any payment provided for in subclause 6.1 is made late but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agent and each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes as aforesaid following receipt by it of such payment.


  6.6Without prejudice to subclauses 6.5 and 6.11, if the Fiscal Agent pays any amounts to the holders of Notes or to any other Paying Agent at a time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant Notes in accordance with subclause 6.1 (the excess of the amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the Shortfall), the Issuer (failing which the Guarantor) will, in addition to paying amounts due under subclause 6.1, pay to the Fiscal Agent on demand interest (at a rate which represents the Fiscal Agent's cost of funding the Shortfall) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Fiscal Agent of the Shortfall.


  6.7The Fiscal Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each other Paying Agent for payments in respect of Notes properly made by each Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Conditions unless the Fiscal Agent has notified the relevant Paying Agent, prior to its opening of business on the due date of a payment in respect of the Notes, that the Fiscal Agent does not expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts falling due in respect of the Notes.


  6.8Whilst any Notes are represented by Global Notes, all payments due in respect of the Notes shall be made to, or to the order of, the holder of the Global Notes, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Global Notes.  On the occasion of each payment, in the case of any Global Note which is held under the NSS, the Fiscal Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such payment.


  6.9If the amount of principal and/or interest then due for payment is not paid in full (otherwise than by reason of a deduction required by law to be made or by reason of a FATCA Withholding or a certification required by the terms of a Note not being received), the Registrar shall make a record in the Register and each record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has not to that extent been made. In the case of any Global Note which is held under the NSS, the Registrar or the Fiscal Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such shortfall in payment.


  6.10Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Agent shall be entitled to make a withholding or deduction from any payment which it makes under any Notes for or on account of any 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event such Agent shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so withheld or deducted or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuer the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuer shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a withholding or deduction which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this subclause 6.10.  In this subclause 6.10 and subclauses 6.11 and 21.11, Applicable Law means any law or regulation, Authority means any competent regulatory, prosecuting, Tax or governmental authority in any jurisdiction and Tax means any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Authority having power to tax.


  6.11In the event that the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any Agent on any Notes, then the Issuer will be entitled to redirect or reorganise any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding provided that any such redirected or reorganised payment is made through a recognised institution of international standing and such payment is otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Fiscal Agent of any such redirection or reorganisation.  For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a withholding or deduction which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this subclause 6.11. If for any reason the Fiscal Agent considers in its sole discretion that the amounts to be received by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to subclause 6.1 will be, or the amounts actually received by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then falling due in respect of the Notes, the Fiscal Agent shall then promptly notify the Issuer and the Guarantor of such insufficiency and, until such time as the Fiscal Agent has received the full amount of all such payments, neither the Fiscal Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be obliged to pay any such claims.


  6.12 For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agents shall not have any obligation to make any payment in respect of any Note to the Noteholders until the Fiscal Agent has been put in funds by the Issuer.


  7.Determinations and Notifications in respect of Notes and Interest Determination


  7.1Determinations and notifications


  (a)The Fiscal Agent shall, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, make all the determinations and calculations which it is required to make under the Conditions, all subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

  (c)The Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify (and confirm in writing to) the Issuer, the Guarantor, the other Paying Agents and (in respect of a Series of Notes listed on a Stock Exchange) the relevant Stock Exchange of each Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date and all other amounts, rates and dates which it is obliged to determine or calculate under the Conditions as soon 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  as practicable after their determination and of any subsequent amendments to them under the Conditions.


  (d)The Fiscal Agent shall use its best endeavours to cause each Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date and all other amounts, rates and dates which it is obliged to determine or calculate under the Conditions to be published as required in accordance with the Conditions as soon as possible after their determination or calculation.


  (e)If the Fiscal Agent does not at any time for any reason determine and/or calculate and/or publish the Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and/or Interest Payment Date in respect of any Interest Period or any other amount, rate or date as provided in this clause, it shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Guarantor and the other Paying Agents of that fact.


  (f)Determinations with regard to Notes required to be made by a Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement shall be made in the manner so specified.  Unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer, or unless the Fiscal Agent is the Calculation Agent (in which case the provisions of this Agreement shall apply), those determinations shall be made on the basis of a Calculation Agency Agreement substantially in the form of ‎Schedule 1.  Notes of any Series may specify additional duties and obligations of any Agent, the performance of which will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Agent prior to the relevant Issue Date. 


  7.2Interest determination


  If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being other than EURIBOR or Compounded Daily SONIA, the Rate of Interest in respect of the Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

  7.3Determination of alternative benchmark or Reference Rate by the Issuer


  The Issuer hereby agrees that it shall not name the Fiscal Agent as Calculation Agent in the Conditions, Pricing Supplements and/or any other transaction document (the Transaction Documents) for any Series of Notes where the Calculation Agent is required to form an opinion and/or exercise discretion and/or determine alternative and/or substitute benchmarks, Reference Rates, Successor Reference Rates and/or screen pages, interest adjustment factors/fractions or spreads, market disruptions, benchmark amendment conforming changes or selections of Reference Banks. If, for whatever reason, any clause or reference or statement in the Transaction Documents refers to the Calculation Agent forming an opinion and/or exercising discretion and/or determining alternative and/or substitute benchmarks, Reference Rates, Successor Reference Rates and/or screen pages, interest adjustment factors/fractions or spreads, market disruptions, benchmark amendment conforming changes or selection of Reference Banks, and the Fiscal Agent has been appointed in such capacity then such reference to the Calculation Agent shall be construed as a reference to the Issuer exercising such opinions and/or discretions and/or making such determinations and/or selections for the relevant Series of Notes.

  8.Notice of any Withholding or Deduction


  8.1If the Issuer or the Guarantor is, in respect of any payment in respect of the Notes, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes as contemplated under Condition 8 (Taxation), the Issuer 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9

  8.2Without prejudice to subclause 8.1, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall notify the Fiscal Agent in the event that it determines that any payment to be made by any Agent under any Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligation under this subclause 8.2 shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuer, such Notes, or both. 


  8.3If any Agent is, in respect of any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes, compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges as contemplated under Condition 8 (Taxation), other than arising under subclauses 8.1 or 8.2 or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirement in respect of its Notes, it shall give notice of that fact to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the compulsion to withhold or deduct.

Each Agent shall not otherwise be liable or responsible for any Liabilities or inconvenience which may result from anything done or omitted to be done by it in connection with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt the failure of the Fiscal Agent to make a claim for payment of interest and principal on the Issuer, or to inform any other paying agent or clearing system of a failure on the part of the Issuer to meet any such claim or to make a payment by the stipulated date, shall not be deemed to constitute gross negligence, fraud or wilful default on the part of the Fiscal Agent.

  5.Interest 


  5.1Interest on Fixed Rate Notes


  Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date at the rate(s) per annum equal to the Rate(s) of Interest.  Interest will be payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year up to (and including) the Maturity Date.

  Except as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount.  Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, amount to the Broken Amount so specified.

  As used in the Conditions, “Fixed Interest Period” means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date.

  Except in the case of Notes where an applicable Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest shall be calculated in respect of any period by applying the Rate of Interest to the Calculation Amount (or, if they are Partly Paid Notes, the aggregate amount paid up) and multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention. Where the Specified Denomination of a Fixed Rate Note is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Fixed Rate Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination, without any further rounding.

  (b)Rate of Interest


  The Rate of Interest payable from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes will be determined in the manner specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

  (i)Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes other than Floating Rate Notes referencing SONIA


  Where Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, and the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies that the Reference Rate is not Compounded Daily SONIA, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will, subject as provided below, be either:

  (A)the offered quotation; or


  (B)the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations,


  (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate (being EURIBOR, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement) which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the Relevant Screen Page (or such replacement page on that service which displays the information) as at 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date in question plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable.  If five or more of such offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of such offered quotations.

  If the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of Condition 5.2(b)(ii)(A), no such offered quotation appears or, in the case of Condition 5.2(b)(ii)(B), fewer than three such offered quotations appear, in each case as at the time specified in the preceding paragraph (the “Specified Time”), the Issuer shall request each of the Reference Banks to provide the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, with its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate at approximately the Specified Time on the Interest Determination Date in question.  If two or more of the Reference Banks provide the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, with offered quotations, the Rate of Interest for the Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable.

  If on any Interest Determination Date one only or none of the Reference Banks provides the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, with an offered quotation as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, determines as being the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the

  fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates, as communicated to the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, by the Reference Banks or any two or more of them, at which such banks were offered, at approximately the Specified Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date, deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate by leading banks in the Euro-zone inter-bank market plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any) or, if fewer than two of the Reference Banks provide the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, with offered rates, the offered rate for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, or the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of the offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, at which, at approximately the Specified Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date, any one or more banks (which bank or banks is or are in the opinion of the Issuer suitable for the purpose) informs the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, it is quoting to leading banks in the Euro-zone inter-bank market plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any), provided that, if the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin is to be applied to the relevant Interest Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Period, the Margin relating to the relevant Interest Period in place of the Margin relating to that last preceding Interest Period).

  If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being other than EURIBOR, the Rate of Interest in respect of the Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

  In the Conditions:

  “Reference Banks” means the principal Euro-zone office of four major banks in the Euro-zone inter-bank market, in each case selected by the Issuer.

  Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement the Minimum Rate of Interest shall be deemed to be zero.

  (ii)Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes referencing SONIA


  Where Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, and the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies that the Reference Rate is Compounded Daily SONIA, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will, subject as provided below, be the sum of Compounded Daily SONIA and the Margin, on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period, all as determined by the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable.

  If, in respect of any London Banking Day in the relevant Observation Period, the SONIA rate is not available on the Relevant Screen Page (or such replacement page on that service which displays the information) or has not otherwise been published by the relevant authorised distributors, such SONIA rate shall be the sum of (A) the Bank of England’s Bank Rate (the “Bank Rate”) prevailing at close of business on such London Banking Day; plus (B) the mean of the spread of the SONIA rate to the Bank Rate over the previous five days on which a SONIA rate has been published, excluding the highest spread (or, if there is more than one highest spread, one only of those highest spreads) and lowest spread (or, if there is more than one lowest spread, one only of those lowest spreads).

  If the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Rate of Interest shall be (1) that determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin is to be applied to the relevant Interest Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Period, the Margin relating to the relevant Interest Period, in place of the Margin relating to that last preceding Interest Period) or (2) if there is no such preceding Interest Determination Date, the initial Rate of Interest which would have been applicable to the Notes for the first Interest Period had the Notes been in issue for a period equal in duration to the scheduled first Interest Period but ending on (and excluding) the Interest Commencement Date (but applying the Margin applicable to the first Interest Period).

  If the Notes become due and payable in accordance with Condition 10, the final Interest Determination Date shall, notwithstanding any Interest Determination Date specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, be deemed to be the date on which the Notes became due and payable and the Rate of Interest applicable to the Notes shall, for so long as any such Note remains outstanding, be that determined on such date. 

  In the Conditions:

  “Compounded Daily SONIA” means, in relation to an Interest Period, the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment (with the daily Sterling overnight reference rate as reference rate for the calculation of interest) and will be calculated by the Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, as follows, and the resulting percentage will be rounded, if necessary, to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards:

  “SONIAi-pLBD” means, in relation to any London Banking Day “i” falling in the relevant Interest Period, the SONIA rate for the London Banking Day falling “p” London Banking Days prior to such London Banking Day “i”. 

  (c)Minimum Rate of Interest and/or Maximum Rate of Interest


  If the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above is less than such Minimum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Minimum Rate of Interest.

  (d)Determination of Rate of Interest and calculation of Interest Amounts


  The Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, will at or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, determine the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period.  

  The Fiscal Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, will calculate the amount of interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable on the Floating Rate Notes for the relevant Interest Period by applying the Rate of Interest to the Calculation Amount (or, if they are Partly Paid Notes, the aggregate amount paid up) and multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention.  Where the Specified Denomination of a Floating Rate Note is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the Interest Amount payable in respect of such Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination without any further rounding.

  (0)a Successor Reference Rate; or


  (0)if such Independent Adviser determines that there is no Successor Reference Rate, an Alternative Reference Rate,


  and, in each case, an Adjustment Spread (if any) (in any such case, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) no later than five Business Days prior to the Interest Determination Date relating to the next Interest Period (the “IA Determination Cut-off Date”) for the purposes of determining the Rate of Interest applicable to the Notes for such next Interest Period and for all other future Interest Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition 5.2(e) during any other future Interest Period(s));

  (B)if a Successor Reference Rate, or, failing which, an Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) is determined by the relevant Independent Adviser in accordance with this Condition 5.2(e);


  (0)such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) shall be used in place of the Original Reference Rate for all future Interest Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of, and adjustment as provided in, this Condition 5.2(e));


  (0)if the relevant Independent Adviser:


  (x) 	determines that an Adjustment Spread is required to be applied to such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) and determines the quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then such Adjustment Spread shall be applied to such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) for all future Interest Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of, and adjustment as provided in, this Condition 5.2(e)); or

  (y) 	is unable to determine the quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, an Adjustment Spread, then such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) will apply without an Adjustment Spread for all future Interest Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of, and adjustment as provided in, this Condition 5.2(e)); and

  (0)the relevant Independent Adviser (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) may in its discretion specify:


  (x) 	changes to these Conditions and/or the Agency Agreement in order to ensure the proper operation of such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate and/or Adjustment Spread (as applicable), including, but not limited to, (a) the Additional Business Centre(s), Business Day, Business Day Convention, Day Count Fraction, Interest Determination Date, Reference Banks, Additional Financial Centre(s) and/or Relevant Screen Page applicable to the Notes and (b) the method for determining the fallback to the Rate of Interest in relation to the Notes if such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) is not available; and

  (0)promptly following the occurrence of a Benchmark Event and the determination of (i) any Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) and (ii) if applicable, any Adjustment Spread, the Issuer shall give notice thereof and of any changes (and the effective date thereof) pursuant to Condition 5.2(e)(C)(3) to the Fiscal Agent and the Calculation Agent (if applicable) and the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13.

  The Agent shall not be obliged to concur with the changes if in the opinion of the Agents, doing so would (i) impose more onerous obligations upon it or expose it to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities or reduce or amend the protective provisions afforded to the Agents in these Conditions, the Agency Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Amended & Restated and/or supplemental Agency Agreement) or (ii) expose the Agents to any additional liabilities against which it has not been indemnified to its satisfaction.

  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer is not able to appoint an Independent Adviser or a Successor Reference Rate or an Alternative Reference Rate is not determined pursuant to the operation of this Condition 5.2(e) prior to the relevant IA Determination Cut-off Date, then the Rate of Interest for the next Interest Period shall be determined by reference to the fallback provisions of Condition 5.2(b)(i) or 5.2(b)(ii), as applicable.

  For the avoidance of doubt, this Condition 5(e) shall apply to the relevant next succeeding Interest Period only and any subsequent Interest Periods are subject to the subsequent operation of, and to adjustment as provided in, Condition 5.2(b)(i) or 5.2(b)(ii), as applicable.

  Noteholders. An Extraordinary Resolution passed by the Noteholders will be binding on all Noteholders, whether or not they are present at any meeting and whether or not they voted on the resolution.

  The Fiscal Agent and the Issuer may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders, to:

  (a)any modification (except a Basic Terms Modification (being a matter in respect of which an increased quorum is required as mentioned above)) of the Notes, the Deed of Covenant or the Agency Agreement which is not in the sole opinion of the Issuer materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders; or


  (b)any modification of the Notes, the Deed of Covenant or the Agency Agreement which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error or to comply with mandatory provisions of the law.

  15.FURTHER ISSUES


  The Issuer shall be at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders to create and issue further notes having terms and conditions the same as the Notes or the same in all respects save for the amount and date of the first payment of interest thereon and the date from which interest starts to accrue and so that the same shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding Notes.

  16.CONTRACTS (RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES) ACT 1999

  17.GOVERNING LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION


  17.1Governing law


  The Agency Agreement, the Guarantee, the Deed of Covenant, the Notes and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Agency Agreement, the Guarantee, the Deed of Covenant and the Notes are governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. 

  17.2Submission to jurisdiction


  (a)Subject to Condition 17.2(c) below, the English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Notes, including any dispute as to their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of their nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Notes (a “Dispute”) and accordingly each of the Issuer and any Noteholders in relation to any Dispute submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.


  (b)For the purposes of this Condition 17.2, the Issuer waives any objection to the English courts on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum to settle any Dispute.

The Issuer agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate service.  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

  17.4Waiver of trial by jury

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  THIS DEED OF COVENANT is made on 22 February 2022 by Autoliv, Inc. (the Issuer) in favour of the account holders or participants specified below of Clearstream Banking SA (Clearstream, Luxembourg), Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) and/or any other additional clearing system or systems as is specified in Part B of the Pricing Supplement, relating to any Note (as defined below) (each a Clearing System).

  WHEREAS:

  1.The Issuer has entered into an amended and restated Programme Agreement (the Programme Agreement, which expression includes the same as it may be amended, supplemented, novated or restated from time to time) dated 22 February 2022 with the Dealers named in it under which the Issuer proposes from time to time to issue Notes (the Notes).


  4.The Issuer has also entered into an amended and restated Agency Agreement (the Agency Agreement, which expression includes the same as it may be amended, supplemented, novated or restated from time to time) dated 22 February 2022 between, inter alia, the Issuer and Citibank Europe plc (the Fiscal Agent).


  5.The Notes will initially be represented by, and comprised in, Global Notes (as defined in the Agency Agreement), in each case representing a certain number of underlying Notes (the Underlying Notes).


  6.Each Global Note may, on issue, be deposited with a depositary for one or more Clearing Systems (together, the Relevant Clearing System) and registered in the name of a nominee for one or more Relevant Clearing Systems.  Upon any such registration and deposit of a Global Note the Underlying Notes represented by the Global Note will be credited to a securities account or securities accounts with the Relevant Clearing System.  Any account holder with the Relevant Clearing System which has Underlying Notes credited to its securities account from time to time (other than any Relevant Clearing System which is an account holder of any other Relevant Clearing System) (each a Relevant Account Holder) will, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions and operating procedures or management regulations of the Relevant Clearing System, be entitled to transfer the Underlying Notes and (subject to and upon payment being made by the Issuer to the registered holder in accordance with the terms of the relevant Global Note) will be entitled to receive payments from the Relevant Clearing System calculated by reference to the Underlying Notes credited to its securities account.


  7.In certain circumstances specified in each Global Note, the registered holder of the Global Note, will have no further rights under the Global Note (but without prejudice to the rights which any person may have pursuant to this Deed of Covenant).  The time at which this occurs is referred to as the Relevant Time.  In those circumstances, each Relevant Account Holder will, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Deed, acquire against the Issuer all those rights which the Relevant Account Holder would have had if, prior to the Relevant Time, duly executed and authenticated Definitive Notes (as defined in the Agency Agreement) had been issued and registered in respect of its Underlying Notes and the Definitive Notes were held and beneficially owned by the Relevant Account Holder.


  8.The obligations of the Issuer under this Deed have been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Autoliv ASP, Inc. (the Guarantor) under a Deed of Guarantee (the Guarantee) executed by the Guarantor on 22 February 2022.  An executed copy of the Guarantee has been deposited with and shall be held by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Noteholders and the Relevant Account Holders from time to time at its specified office (being at the date hereof at 1 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland) and a copy 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  of the Guarantee shall be available for inspection at that specified office and at the specified office of each of the other agents named in the Agency Agreement.


  NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES as follows:

  1.If at any time the registered holder of the Global Note ceases to have rights under it in accordance with its terms, the Issuer covenants with each Relevant Account Holder (other than any Relevant Clearing System which is an account holder of any other Relevant Clearing System) that each Relevant Account Holder shall automatically acquire at the Relevant Time, without the need for any further action on behalf of any person, against the Issuer all those rights which the Relevant Account Holder would have had if at the Relevant Time it held and beneficially owned executed and authenticated Definitive Notes in respect of each Underlying Note represented by the Global Note which the Relevant Account Holder has credited to its securities account with the Relevant Clearing System at the Relevant Time.


  The Issuer's obligation under this clause shall be a separate and independent obligation by reference to each Underlying Note which a Relevant Account Holder has credited to its securities account with the Relevant Clearing System and the Issuer agrees that a Relevant Account Holder may assign its rights under this Deed in whole or in part.

  2.The records of the Relevant Clearing System shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive evidence of the identity of the Relevant Account Holders and the number of Underlying Notes credited to the securities account of each Relevant Account Holder.  For these purposes a statement issued by the Relevant Clearing System stating:


  (a)the name of the Relevant Account Holder to which the statement is issued; and


  (b)the aggregate nominal amount of Underlying Notes credited to the securities account of the Relevant Account Holder as at the opening of business on the first day following the Relevant Time on which the Relevant Clearing System is open for business,


  shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the records of the Relevant Clearing System at the Relevant Time.

  3.In the event of a dispute, the determination of the Relevant Time by the Relevant Clearing System shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and conclusive for all purposes in connection with the Relevant Account Holders with securities accounts with the Relevant Clearing System.


  4.The Issuer undertakes in favour of each Relevant Account Holder that, in relation to any payment to be made by it under this Deed, it will comply with the provisions of Condition 8 (Taxation) to the extent that they apply to any payments in respect of Underlying Notes as if those provisions had been set out in full in this Deed.


  5.The Issuer will pay any stamp and other duties and taxes, including interest and penalties, payable on or in connection with the execution of this Deed and any action taken by any Relevant Account Holder to enforce the provisions of this Deed.

  6.The Issuer represents, warrants and undertakes to and with each Relevant Account Holder that it has all corporate power, and has taken all necessary corporate or other steps, to enable it to execute, deliver and perform this Deed, and that this Deed constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.


  7.This Deed shall take effect as a Deed Poll for the benefit of the Relevant Account Holders from time to time.  This Deed shall be deposited with and held by the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (being at the date of this Deed Citibank Europe plc at 1 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland) until all the obligations of the Issuer under this Deed have been discharged in full.


  8.The Issuer acknowledges the right of every Relevant Account Holder to the production of, and the right of every Relevant Account Holder to obtain (upon payment of a reasonable charge) a copy of, this Deed, and further acknowledges and covenants that the obligations binding upon it contained in this Deed are owed to, and shall be for the account of, each and every Relevant Account Holder, and that each Relevant Account Holder shall be entitled severally to enforce those obligations against the Issuer.


  9.If any provision in or obligation under this Deed is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that will not affect or impair (i) the validity, legality or enforceability under the law of that jurisdiction of any other provision in or obligation under this Deed, and (ii) the validity, legality or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision in or obligation under this Deed.


  10.(a)	This Deed and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of England.


  (a)Subject to subclause 10(d) below, the English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed, including any dispute as to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of its nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it (a Dispute) and each of the Issuer and any Relevant Account Holder in relation to any Dispute submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.


  (b)For the purpose of this clause 10(a), the Issuer waives any objection to the English courts on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum to settle any Dispute.


  (c)To the extent allowed by law, the Relevant Account Holders may, in respect of any Dispute or Disputes, take (i) proceedings in any other court with jurisdiction; and (ii) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.


  (d)The Issuer irrevocably appoints Airbags International Limited at Viking Way, Congleton, Cheshire CW12 1TT as its agent under this Deed for service of process in any proceedings before the English courts in relation to any Dispute and agrees that, in the event of Airbags International Limited being unable or unwilling for any reason so to act, it will immediately appoint another person as its agent for service of process in England in respect of any Dispute. The Issuer agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate service.

  12.PROCEDURE FOR ISSUE OF VOTING CERTIFICATES, BLOCK VOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND PROXIES


  12.1Definitive Notes not held in a Clearing System 


  If Notes have been issued in definitive form and are not held in an account with any Clearing System, the Fiscal Agent may from time to time prescribe further regulations (in accordance with paragraph 22) to enable the holders of such Notes to attend and/or vote at a meeting in respect of such Notes. 

  12.2Global Notes and definitive Notes held in a Clearing System - Voting Certificate


  A holder of a Note (not being a Note in respect of which instructions have been given to the Fiscal Agent in accordance with paragraph 3.3) represented by a Global Note or which is in definitive form and is held in an account with any Clearing System may procure the delivery of a Voting Certificate in respect of such Note by giving notice to the Clearing System through which such Noteholder's interest in the Note is held specifying by name a person (an Identified Person) (which need not be the Noteholder himself) to collect the Voting Certificate and attend and vote at the meeting.  The relevant Voting Certificate will be made available at or shortly prior to the commencement of the meeting by the Fiscal Agent against presentation by such Identified Person of the form of identification previously notified by such holder to the Clearing System.  The Clearing System may prescribe forms of identification (including, without limitation, a passport or driving licence) which it considers appropriate for these purposes.  Subject to receipt by the Fiscal Agent from the Clearing System, no later than 24 hours before the time for which such meeting is convened, of notification of the principal amount of the Notes to be represented by any such Voting Certificate and the form of identification against presentation of which such Voting Certificate should be released, the Fiscal Agent shall, without any obligation to make further enquiry, make available Voting Certificates against presentation of the form of identification corresponding to that notified.

  12.3Global Notes and definitive Notes held in a Clearing System - Block Voting Instruction


  (a)A holder of a Note (not being a Note in respect of which a Voting Certificate has been issued) represented by a Global Note or which is in definitive form and is held in an account with any Clearing System may require the Fiscal Agent to issue a Block Voting Instruction in respect of such Note by first instructing the Clearing System through which such Noteholder's interest in the Note is held to procure that the votes attributable to such Note should be cast at the meeting in a particular way in relation to the resolution or resolutions to be put to the meeting.  Any such instruction shall be given in accordance with the rules of the Clearing System then in effect.  Subject to receipt by the Fiscal Agent, no later than 24 hours prior to the time for which such meeting is convened, of notification of the principal amount of the Notes in respect of which instructions have been given and the manner in which the votes attributable to such Notes should be cast, the Fiscal Agent shall, without any obligation to make further enquiry, appoint a proxy to attend the meeting and cast votes in accordance with those instructions.


  (b)Each Block Voting Instruction shall be deposited by the relevant Paying Agent at the place specified by the Fiscal Agent for the purpose not less than 24 Hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting at which the proxy or proxies named in the Block Voting Instruction proposes to vote, and in default the Block Voting Instruction shall not be treated as valid unless the Chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting proceeds to business.  A copy of each Block Voting Instruction shall (if so requested 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  by the Issuer) be deposited with the Issuer before the commencement of the meeting but the Issuer shall not as a result be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the authority of the proxy or proxies named in such Block Voting Instruction.


  (c)Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a Block Voting Instruction shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the Block Voting Instruction or of any of the instructions of the relevant Noteholder or the relevant Clearing System (as the case may be) pursuant to which it was executed provided that no intimation in writing of such revocation or amendment has been received from the relevant Paying Agent by the Issuer at its registered office by the time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting at which the Block Voting Instruction is to be used.


  13.CONVENING OF MEETINGS, QUORUM, ADJOURNED MEETINGS


  13.1The Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time, and the Issuer shall upon a requisition in writing in the English language signed by the Noteholders of not less than 10 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, convene a meeting and if the Issuer makes default for a period of seven days in convening such a meeting the same may be convened by the relevant Noteholders.  Whenever the Issuer or the Guarantor is about to convene any such meeting the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall forthwith give notice in writing to the Fiscal Agent of the day, time and place of the meeting and of the nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting.  Every such meeting shall be held at such time and place approved by the Fiscal Agent (which need not be a physical place and instead may be by way of a conference call using a videoconference platform).


  13.2At least 21 Clear Days' notice specifying the place, day and hour of the meeting shall be given to the Noteholders prior to any meeting in the manner provided by Condition 13 (Notices).  Such notice, which shall be in the English language, shall state generally the nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting thereby convened and, where an Extraordinary Resolution will be proposed at the meeting, shall either specify in such notice the terms of such resolution or state fully the effect on the Noteholders of such resolution, if passed.  Such notice shall include statements as to the manner in which Noteholders may arrange for Voting Certificates or Block Voting Instructions to be issued.  A copy of the notice shall be sent by post to the Issuer (unless the meeting is convened by the Issuer) and to the Guarantor (unless the meeting is convened by the Guarantor).


  13.3The person (who may but need not be a Noteholder) nominated in writing by the Issuer shall be entitled to take the chair at each meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the person nominated shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting the Noteholders present shall choose one of their number to be Chairman failing which the Issuer may appoint a Chairman.  The Chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as was Chairman of the meeting from which the adjournment took place.


  13.4At any such meeting one or more Eligible Persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate more than 50 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding shall (subject as provided below) form a quorum for the transaction of business (including the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution) PROVIDED THAT at any meeting the business of which includes any Basic Terms Modification (which shall only be capable of being effected after having been approved by Extraordinary Resolution) the quorum shall be one or more Eligible Persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds of the principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.  No

  business (other than the choosing of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of the relevant business.


  13.5If within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after the time appointed for such meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any particular business, then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the meeting shall if convened upon the requisition of Noteholders be dissolved.  In any other case it shall stand adjourned for such period being not less than 13 Clear Days nor more than 42 Clear Days and to such place as may be appointed by the Chairman either at or subsequent to such meeting and approved by the Fiscal Agent.  If within 15 minutes (or a longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after the time appointed for any adjourned meeting a quorum is not present for the transaction of any particular business, then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if any) for which a quorum is present, the Chairman may either dissolve such meeting or adjourn the same for such period, being not less than 13 Clear Days (but without any maximum number of Clear Days) and to such place as may be appointed by the Chairman either at or subsequent to such adjourned meeting and approved by the Fiscal Agent, and the provisions of this sentence shall apply to all further adjourned such meetings.


  13.6At any adjourned meeting one or more Eligible Persons present (whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented by them) shall (subject as provided below) form a quorum and shall have power to pass any resolution and to decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had the requisite quorum been present PROVIDED THAT at any adjourned meeting the quorum for the transaction of business comprising any Basic Terms Modification shall be one or more Eligible Persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one‐third of the principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.


  13.7Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as notice of an original meeting but as if 10 were substituted for 21 in paragraph 4.2 and such notice shall state the required quorum. 


  14.CONDUCT OF BUSINESS AT MEETINGS


  14.1Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands.  A poll may be demanded (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) by the Chairman, the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Eligible Person (whatever the amount of the Notes so held or represented by him).


  14.2At any meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution.


  14.3Subject to paragraph 5.5, if at any such meeting a poll is so demanded it shall be taken in such manner and, subject as provided below, either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll.  The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the motion on which the poll has been demanded.

  14.4The Chairman may, with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.


  14.5Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a Chairman or on any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.


  14.6Any director or officer of the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor, their lawyers and financial advisers and any director or officer of any of the Paying Agents may attend and speak at any meeting.  Save as aforesaid, no person shall be entitled to attend and speak nor shall any person be entitled to vote at any meeting unless he is an Eligible Person.  No person shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes which are deemed to be not outstanding by virtue of the proviso to the definition of "outstanding" in paragraph 1 of this Agreement.


  14.7Subject as provided in paragraph 5.6, at any meeting:


  (a)on a show of hands every Eligible Person present shall have one vote; and


  (b)on a poll every Eligible Person present shall have one vote in respect of:


  (i)each EUR1.00; and


  (ii)in the case of a meeting of the holders of Notes denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent of EUR1.00 in that currency (calculated as specified in subclause 5.13(a) and 5.13(b)).


  Without prejudice to the obligations of the proxies named in any Block Voting Instruction, any Eligible Person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same way.

  14.8The proxies named in any Block Voting Instruction need not be Noteholders. Nothing herein shall prevent any of the proxies named in any Block Voting Instruction from being a director, officer or representative of or otherwise connected with the Issuer.


  14.9The Noteholders shall in addition to the powers set out above have the following powers exercisable only by Extraordinary Resolution (subject, in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution to be proposed at a meeting, to the provisions relating to quorum contained in paragraph 4.4 and 4.6), namely:


  (a)power to sanction any compromise or arrangement proposed to be made between the Issuer and the Guarantor and the Noteholders or any of them;


  (b)power to approve any abrogation, modification, compromise or arrangement in respect of the rights of the Noteholders against the Issuer and the Guarantor against any other or others of them or against any of their property whether such rights arise under this Agreement, the Notes or otherwise;

  (c)power to agree to any modification of the provisions contained in this Agreement or the Conditions, the Notes, the Guarantee or the Deed of Covenant which is proposed by the Issuer or the Guarantor;


  (d)power to give any authority or sanction which under the provisions of this Schedule or the Notes is required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution;


  (e)power to appoint any persons (whether Noteholders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the interests of the Noteholders and to confer upon such committee or committees any powers or discretions which the Noteholders could themselves exercise by Extraordinary Resolution;


  (f)power to approve any scheme or proposal for the exchange or sale of the Notes for, or the conversion of the Notes into, or the cancellation of the Notes in consideration of, shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities of the Issuer or the Guarantor or any other company formed or to be formed, or for or into or in consideration of cash, or partly for or into or in consideration of shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities as stated above and partly for or into or in consideration of cash; and


  (g)power to approve the substitution of any entity in place of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor (or any previous substitute) as principal debtor and/or guarantor, as the case may be.

Notice of the result of voting on any Extraordinary Resolution duly considered by the Noteholders shall be published in accordance with Condition 13 (Notices) by the Issuer within 14 days of the result being known PROVIDED THAT non-publication of such notice shall not invalidate such result.


  14.11Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be made and entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Issuer and any such minutes, if purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings transacted shall be conclusive evidence of the matters contained in them and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at the meeting to have been duly passed or transacted.


  14.12Subject to all other provisions contained in this Schedule, the Fiscal Agent may without the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Noteholders prescribe any other regulations regarding the calling and/or the holding of meetings of Noteholders and attendance and voting at them as the Fiscal Agent may in its sole discretion think fit (including, without limitation, the substitution for periods of 24 hours and 48 hours referred to in this Schedule of shorter periods).  Any regulations prescribed by the Fiscal Agent may but need not reflect the practices and facilities of any relevant Clearing System.  Notice of any other

  regulations may be given to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13 (Notices) and/or at the time of service of any notice convening a meeting.


  14.13If the Issuer has issued and has outstanding Notes which are not denominated in euro, the nominal amount of such Notes shall:


  (a)for the purposes of paragraph 4.1, be the equivalent in euro at the spot rate of a bank nominated by the Fiscal Agent for the conversion of the relevant currency or currencies into euro on the seventh dealing day before the day on which the written requirement to call the meeting is received by the Issuer; and


  (b)for the purposes of paragraphs 4.4, 4.6 and 5.7 above (whether in respect of the meeting or any adjourned meeting or any poll), be the equivalent at that spot rate on the seventh dealing day before the day of the meeting,


  and, in all cases, the equivalent in euro of Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Notes, Partly Paid Notes, Zero Coupon Notes or any other Notes issued at a discount or a premium shall be calculated by reference to the original nominal amount of those Notes.

  Form of Guarantee

  GUARANTEE of AUTOLIV ASP, INC.

  2.THIS GUARANTEE is given on 22 February 2022 by Autoliv ASP, Inc. (the Guarantor).


  3.WHEREAS:


  1.The Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Autoliv, Inc. (the Issuer) under (i) the Notes to be issued by the Issuer pursuant to an amended and restated Agency Agreement (as amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the Agency Agreement) dated 22 February 2022 between the Issuer, the Guarantor, Citibank Europe plc as Fiscal Agent (the Fiscal Agent) and the other agents named therein and (ii) the Deed of Covenant executed by the Issuer on 22 February 2022 in respect of the Notes (as amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the Deed of Covenant).


  9.Terms defined in the Conditions of the Notes (the Conditions), the Agency Agreement and the Deed of Covenant and not otherwise defined in this Guarantee shall have the same meaning when used in this Guarantee.


  4.NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES AS FOLLOWS:


  1.The Guarantor as primary obligor unconditionally and irrevocably:


  (a)guarantees to (i) each holder from time to time of the Notes and (ii) each Relevant Account Holder (as defined in the Deed of Covenant), by way of continuing guarantee the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer on or in respect of the Notes (including any premium or additional amounts which may become payable under Condition 8 (Taxation)) and the Deed of Covenant as and when the same shall become due according to the Conditions and the Deed of Covenant; and


  (b)agrees that, if and each time that the Issuer fails to make any payments as and when the same become due, the Guarantor will on demand (without requiring the relevant Noteholder or Relevant Account Holder first to take steps against the Issuer or any other person) pay to the relevant Noteholder, or as the case may be, the Relevant Account Holder the amounts (as to which the certificate of the relevant Noteholder, or as the case may be, the Relevant Account Holder shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive) in the currency in which the amounts are payable by the Issuer under the Notes or the Deed of Covenant.


  21.If any sum which, although expressed to be payable by the Issuer under the Notes or the Deed of Covenant is for any reason (whether or not now existing and whether or not now known or becoming known to the Issuer, the Guarantor or any relevant Noteholder and/or Relevant Account Holder) not recoverable from the Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee then (a) it will nevertheless be recoverable from it as if it were the sole principal debtor and will be paid by it to the relevant Noteholder and/or Relevant Account Holder on demand, and (b) as a separate and additional liability under this Guarantee the Guarantor agrees, as a primary obligation, to indemnify each relevant Noteholder and each Relevant Account Holder in respect 


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  of such sum by way of a full indemnity in the manner and currency as is provided for in the Notes and the Deed of Covenant, and to indemnify each relevant Noteholder and each Relevant Account Holder against all losses, claims, costs, charges and expenses to which it may be subject or which it may incur in recovering such sum.


  22.If any payment received by any relevant Noteholder or Relevant Account Holder pursuant to the provisions of the Notes or the Deed of Covenant shall (whether on the subsequent bankruptcy, insolvency or corporate reorganisation of the Issuer or, without limitation, on any other event) be avoided or set aside for any reason, such payment shall not be considered as discharging or diminishing the liability of the Guarantor and this Guarantee shall continue to apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by the Issuer and the Guarantor shall indemnify the relevant Noteholders and/or Relevant Account Holders (as the case may be) in respect thereof provided that the obligations of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor under this clause 3 shall, as regards each payment made to any relevant Noteholder or Relevant Account Holder which is avoided or set aside, be contingent upon such payment being reimbursed to the Issuer or other persons entitled through the Issuer.


  23.All payments by the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (Taxes) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the any Relevant Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 8 (Taxation)), unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law.  In that event, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the holders of the Notes and the Relevant Account Holders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or the Deed of Covenant in the absence of the withholding or deduction; except that no additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any payment in respect of any Note:


  (a)the holder or Relevant Account Holder of which is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Note by reason of having some connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction other than by reason of being a holder or Relevant Account Holder; or


  (b)presented for payment in the United States; or


  (c)presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder or Relevant Account Holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by satisfying any statutory or procedural requirements (including, without limitation, the provision of information or a Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Form or W-9 (or a successor form)); or


  (d)presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 8 (Taxation)) except to the extent that a holder or Relevant Account Holder would have been entitled to an additional amount on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Payment Day (as defined in Condition 6 (Payments)).


  24.The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not be affected by any matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to affect the obligations including, without limitation:


  (a)any time or indulgence granted to or composition with the Issuer or any other person;


   

  			
	 

	 DOCPROPERTY "cpCombinedRef"  0012034-0005260 UKO2: 2004076912.9
	 
	 



   

  

    

  (b)the taking, variation, renewal or release of remedies or securities against the Issuer or any other person; or 


  (c)any unenforceability, invalidity or irregularity.


  25.Where any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of the Issuer or any security for the obligations of the Issuer or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall continue as if there had been no discharge or arrangement.  The holder of any Note or a Relevant Account Holder, acting in good faith, shall be entitled to concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or repayment.


  26.The Guarantor will not, and the Guarantor will procure that none of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Condition 4 (Negative Pledge)) will, create or have outstanding any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest (each a Security Interest) upon, or with respect to, any of its or their present or future business, undertaking, assets or revenues (including any uncalled capital) to secure any Relevant Indebtedness (as defined in Condition 4 (Negative Pledge)), unless the Guarantor, in the case of the creation of a Security Interest, before or at the same time and, in any other case, promptly, takes any and all action necessary to ensure that (a) all amounts payable by it under this Guarantee are secured by the Security Interest equally and rateably with the Relevant Indebtedness; or (b) such other Security Interest or other arrangement (whether or not it includes the giving of a Security Interest) shall be provided as is approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Agency Agreement) of the Noteholders; provided that, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Security Interest (i) arising by operation of law or (ii) created by an entity which becomes a Subsidiary after the date of creation of such Security Interest where the Security Interest was not created in connection with or in contemplation of such entity becoming a Subsidiary and does not extend to or cover any undertaking, assets or revenues (including any uncalled capital) of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.


  27.The Guarantor represents and warrants that:


  (a)the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee constitute the direct, unconditional and (subject to the provisions of clause 7) unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and (subject as provided above) rank and will rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor, present and future, but, in the event of insolvency, only to the extent permitted by applicable laws relating to creditors' rights; and


  (b)all necessary governmental consents and authorisations for the giving and implementation of this Guarantee have been obtained.


  28.Until all amounts which may be or become payable under the Notes and the Deed of Covenant have been irrevocably paid in full, the Guarantor shall not by virtue of this Guarantee be subrogated to any rights of any holder of any Note or any Relevant Account Holder or claim in competition with such holders against the Issuer.


  29.This Guarantee shall enure for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Relevant Account Holders and shall be deposited with and held by the Fiscal Agent.

  30.If any provision in or obligation under this Guarantee is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that will not affect or impair (i) the validity, legality or enforceability under the law of that jurisdiction of any other provision in or obligation under this Guarantee, or (ii) the validity, legality or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision in or obligation under this Guarantee.


  31.This Guarantee and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.


  32.(a)	Subject to subparagraph (c) below, the English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee, including any dispute as to its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of its nullity and any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it (a Dispute) and each of the Guarantor and any Noteholders or Relevant Account Holders in relation to any Dispute submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.


  (a)For the purposes of subparagraphs (a) and (c), the Guarantor waives any objection to the English courts on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum to settle any Dispute.


  (b)To the extent allowed by law, the Noteholders and the Relevant Account Holders may, in respect of any Dispute or Disputes, take (i) proceedings in any other court with jurisdiction and (ii) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.


  (c)The Guarantor irrevocably appoints Airbags International Limited at Viking Way, Congelton, Chesire, CW12 1TT as its agent under this Guarantee for service of process in any proceedings before the English courts in relation to any Dispute and agrees that in the event of Airbags International Limited being unable or unwilling for any reason so to act, it will immediately appoint another person as its agent for service of process in England in respect of any Dispute.  The Guarantor agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate service.  Nothing in this sub-paragraph shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 


  IN WITNESS whereof this Guarantee has been executed as a deed poll by the Guarantor.
