all other terms that relate to Notes or their Conditions, shall be construed as referring to those of the particular Series in question and not of all Series unless expressly so provided, so that each Series shall be constituted by a separate trust
pursuant to sub-Clause 2.3 and that, unless expressly provided, events affecting one Series shall not affect any other. 

  

	2.3	 	Covenant to Pay: The Relevant Issuer shall on any date when any Notes become due to be redeemed, in whole or in part, unconditionally pay to or to the order of the
Trustee in the Contractual Currency, in the case of any Contractual Currency other than euro, in the principal financial centre for the Contractual Currency and in the case of euro, in a city in which banks have access to the TARGET System in same
day funds the Redemption Amount of the Notes becoming due for redemption on that date together with any applicable premium and shall (subject to the Conditions) until such payment (both before and after judgment) unconditionally so pay to or to the
order of the Trustee interest on the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as set out in the Conditions (subject to sub-Clause 2.6) provided that (1) payment of any sum due in respect of the Notes made to the Issuing and Paying Agent as provided
in the Agency Agreement shall, to that extent, satisfy such obligation except to the extent that there is failure in its subsequent payment to the relevant Noteholders or Couponholders under the Conditions and (2) a payment made after the due date
or as a result of the Note becoming repayable following an Event of Default shall be deemed to have been made when the full amount due has been received by the Issuing and Paying Agent or the Trustee and notice to that effect has been given to the
Noteholders (if required under Clause 6.11), except to the extent that there is failure in its subsequent payment to the relevant Noteholders or Couponholders under the Conditions. This covenant shall only have effect each time Notes are issued and
outstanding, when the Trustee shall hold the benefit of this covenant on trust for the Noteholders and Couponholders of the relevant Series. 

  

 7 









	2.4	 	Discharge: Subject to sub-Clause 2.5, any payment to be made in respect of the Notes, Receipts or the Coupons by the Relevant Issuer or the Trustee may be made as
provided in the Conditions and any payment so made shall (subject to sub-Clause 2.5) to that extent be a good discharge to the Relevant Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be. 

  

	2.5	 	Payment after a Default: At any time after an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has occurred the Trustee may: 

  

	 	2.5.1	 	by notice in writing to the Relevant Issuer, the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents, require the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents, until notified by the Trustee to
the contrary, so far as permitted by applicable law: 

  

	 	(i)	 	to act as Paying Agents and Transfer Agents of the Trustee under this Trust Deed and the Notes on the terms of the Agency Agreement (with consequential amendments as necessary and
except that the Trustee’s liability for the indemnification, remuneration and expenses of the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents shall be limited to the amounts for the time being held by the Trustee in respect of the Notes on the terms of
this Trust Deed) and thereafter to hold all Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons and all moneys, documents and records held by them in respect of Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons to the order of the Trustee; or


  

	 	(ii)	 	to deliver all Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons and all moneys, documents and records held by them in respect of the Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and
Talons to the Trustee or as the Trustee directs in such notice save for documents required to be retained by the Agents by law or regulation; and 

  


	 	2.5.2	 	by notice in writing to the Relevant Issuer require it to make all subsequent payments in respect of the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons to or to the order of the Trustee
and not to the Issuing and Paying Agent. 

  

	2.6	 	Rate of Interest After a Default: If the Notes bear interest at a floating or other variable rate and they become immediately payable under the Conditions, the rate of
interest payable in respect of them shall continue to be calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Conditions (with consequential amendments as necessary) except that the rates of interest need not be published unless the Trustee
otherwise requires. The first period in respect of which interest shall be so calculable shall commence on the expiry of the Interest Period during which the Notes become so repayable. 

  

	3	 	Form of the Notes 

  

	3.1	 	The Global Notes: The Notes shall initially be represented by a temporary Global Note, a permanent Global Note or one or more Certificates in the principal amount of
the Tranche being issued. Interests in temporary Global Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes, Registered Notes or interests in permanent Global Notes as set out in each temporary Global Note. Interests in permanent Global Notes shall be
exchangeable for Definitive Notes and/or Registered Notes as set out in each permanent Global Note. 

  

	3.2	 	 The Definitive Notes: The Definitive Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall be security printed and the Certificates shall be printed, in each case
in accordance with applicable legal and stock exchange requirements substantially in the forms set out in 



  

 8 









	 	 
Schedule 2. The Notes and Certificates (other than Global Certificates) shall be endorsed with the Conditions. 


  

	3.3	 	Signature: The Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall be signed manually or in facsimile by a Director or an authorised signatory of the Relevant
Issuer, the Notes shall be authenticated by or on behalf of the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Certificates shall be authenticated by or on behalf of the Registrar. The Relevant Issuer may use the facsimile signature of a person who at the date of
this Trust Deed is such a Director or an authorised signatory even if at the time of issue of any Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons or Talons he no longer holds that office. Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons so executed and
authenticated shall be or, in the case of Certificates, represent binding and valid obligations of the Relevant Issuer. 

  

	4	 	Stamp Duties and Taxes 

  

	4.1	 	Stamp Duties: The Relevant Issuer shall pay any stamp, issue, documentary or other taxes and duties, including interest and penalties, payable in Belgium, Luxembourg,
the United Kingdom and the country of each Contractual Currency in respect of the creation, issue and offering of the Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons and the execution or delivery of this Trust Deed. The Relevant Issuer shall also
indemnify the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders from and against all stamp, issue, documentary or other taxes paid by any of them in any jurisdiction in connection with any action taken by or on behalf of the Trustee or, as the case may
be, the Noteholders or the Couponholders to enforce the Relevant Issuer’s obligations under this Trust Deed or the Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons or Talons. 

  

	4.2	 	Change of Taxing Jurisdiction: If the Relevant Issuer becomes subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of a territory or a taxing authority of or in that territory
with power to tax other than or in addition to the United Kingdom or any such authority of or in such territory then the Relevant Issuer shall (unless the Trustee otherwise agrees) give the Trustee an undertaking satisfactory to the Trustee in terms
corresponding to the terms of Condition 8 with the substitution for, or (as the case may require) the addition to, the references in that Condition to the United Kingdom of references to that other or additional territory or authority to whose
taxing jurisdiction the Relevant Issuer has become so subject. In such event this Trust Deed and the Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall be read accordingly. 

  

	5	 	Application of moneys received by the Trustee 

  

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

  
 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; 
  
 secondly, in payment of
any amounts owing in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons pari passu and rateably; and 
  
 thirdly, in payment of any balance to the Relevant Issuer for itself. 
  

 9 








 If the Trustee holds any moneys in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons that have become void or in
respect of which claims have become prescribed, the Trustee shall 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 sub-Clause 5.1 is less than 10 per cent of the principal
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 principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and then such investments, accumulations and funds (after deduction of, or provision for, any
applicable taxes) shall be applied as specified in sub-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 largest 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 shall not be responsible for any resulting loss, whether by depreciation in value, change in exchange rates or otherwise. 

  

	6	 	Covenants 

  
 So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, the Relevant Issuer covenants that it shall: 
  

	6.1	 	at all times carry on and conduct its affairs in a proper manner; 

  

	6.2	 	so far as permitted by applicable law, give to the Trustee such information as it shall require and in such form as it shall require (including without limitation the

requirements and all requirements for the time being of the UK Listing Authority; 

  

	6.4	 	at all times keep and procure its Principal Subsidiaries to keep proper books of account and, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of
Default or if the Trustee certifies in writing to the Relevant Issuer that it has reasonable grounds to believe that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has or may have occurred and so far as permitted by applicable law allow and
procure its Principal Subsidiaries to allow the Trustee and any person appointed by the Trustee to whom the Relevant Issuer or the relevant Principal Subsidiary (as the case may be) shall have no reasonable objection, upon reasonable notice, free
access to such books of account at all reasonable times during normal business hours for the purpose of the discharge or exercise of the duties, trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it under these presents or by operation of law;


  

 10 









	6.5	 	send to the Trustee (in addition to any copies to which it may be entitled as a holder of any securities of the Relevant Issuer) four copies in English of every balance
sheet, profit and loss account, report, circular and notice of general meeting and every other document issued or sent to its shareholders together with any of the foregoing, and every document issued or sent to its creditors (or any class thereof)
generally concerning the financial condition of the Relevant Issuer and its Subsidiaries, in each case in their capacities as such, as soon as practicable after the issue or publication thereof; 

  

	6.6	 	give notice in writing to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any Potential Event of Default immediately upon becoming aware of the same;


  

	6.7	 	send to the Trustee (a) within 14 days after demand by the Trustee therefor and (b) (without the necessity for any such demand) promptly after the publication of its audited
accounts in respect of each financial period commencing with the financial period ending 31 March 2003 and in any event not later than 180 days after the end of each such financial period a certificate of the Relevant Issuer signed by two Directors
of such Relevant Issuer to the effect that, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Relevant Issuer, as at a date not more than seven days before delivering such certificate (the “relevant date”) there did not
exist and had not existed since the relevant date of the previous certificate (or in the case of the first such certificate the date hereof) any Event of Default or any Potential Event of Default (or if such exists or existed specifying the same)
and that during the period from and including the relevant date of the last such certificate (or in the case of the first such certificate the date hereof) to and including the relevant date of such certificate the Relevant Issuer has complied with
all its obligations contained in these presents or (if such is not the case) specifying the respects in which it has not complied; 

  

	6.8	 	so far as permitted by applicable law, at all times execute and do all such further documents, acts and things as may be necessary at any time or times in the reasonable
opinion of the Trustee to give effect to these presents; 

  

	6.9	 	at all times maintain a Principal Paying Agent, a Registrar and a Transfer Agent in accordance with the Conditions and, in the case of a Principal Paying Agent and a
Registrar, so long as any of the Notes or Coupons remains liable to prescription; 

  

	6.10	 	use all reasonable endeavours to procure the Principal Paying Agent to notify the Trustee forthwith in the event that it does not, on or before the due date for any payment
in respect of the Notes or any of them or any of the Coupons, receive unconditionally pursuant to the Agency Agreement payment of the full amount in the requisite currency of the moneys payable on such due date on all such Notes or Coupons as the
case may be; 

  

	6.11	 	in the event of the unconditional payment to the Principal Paying Agent of any sum due in respect of the Notes or any of them or any of the Coupons being made after the due
date for payment thereof forthwith give or procure to be given notice to the relevant Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16 that such payment has been made; 

  

	6.12	 	 use all reasonable endeavours to maintain the listing of the Notes on the official list maintained by the Financial Services Authority in its capacity as UK
Listing Authority and the trading of such Notes on the market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc or, if it is unable to do so having used all reasonable endeavours or if the maintenance of such listing or trading is in the
reasonable opinion of the Relevant Issuer unduly onerous, use all reasonable endeavours to obtain and maintain a quotation or listing of the Notes on such other stock exchange or exchanges or securities market or markets as the 



  

 11 








 
Relevant Issuer may (with the prior approval of the Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) decide and shall also upon obtaining a
quotation or listing of the Notes on such other stock exchange or exchanges or securities market or markets enter into a deed supplemental to this Trust Deed to effect such consequential amendments to these presents as the Trustee may require to
comply with the requirements of any such stock exchange or securities market;

termination of the appointment of the Registrar or a Transfer Agent or so long as any of the Notes or Coupons remains liable to prescription in the case of the termination of the appointment of the Principal Paying Agent no such termination shall
take effect until a new Registrar, Transfer Agent or Principal Paying Agent has been appointed on terms approved by the Trustee; 

  

	6.14	 	obtain the prior written approval of the Trustee to, and promptly give to the Trustee four copies of, the form of every notice given to the Noteholders in accordance with

investment activity); 

  

	6.15	 	if the Relevant Issuer shall become subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of any territory or any political sub-division thereof or any authority therein or thereof
having power to tax other than or in addition to the United Kingdom or any such political sub-division thereof or any such authority therein or thereof, immediately upon becoming aware thereof notify the Trustee of such event and (unless the Trustee
otherwise agrees) enter forthwith into a Trust Deed supplemental to this Trust Deed, giving to the Trustee an undertaking or covenant in form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee in terms corresponding to the terms of Condition 8 with the
substitution for (or, as the case may be, the addition to) the references therein to the United Kingdom or any political sub-division thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax of references to that other or additional territory
or any political sub-division thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax to whose taxing jurisdiction the Relevant Issuer shall have become subject as aforesaid, such Trust Deed also (where applicable) to modify Condition 6(c)
so that such Condition shall make reference to the other or additional territory, any political sub-division thereof and any authority therein or thereof having power to tax;

respective obligations thereunder and not make any amendment or modification to the Agency Agreement without the prior written approval of the Trustee; 

  

	6.17	 	in order to enable the Trustee to ascertain the principal amount of Notes of each Series for the time being outstanding for any of the purposes referred to in the proviso to
the definition of “outstanding” in Clause 1, deliver to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable after being so requested in writing by the Trustee a certificate in writing signed by two Directors, or two authorised

	6.20	 	if, in accordance with the provisions of the Conditions, interest in respect of Bearer Securities denominated in U.S. dollars becomes payable at the specified office of any
Paying Agent in the United States of America promptly give notice thereof to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16;

	6.22	 	give to the Trustee at the same time as sending to it the certificates referred to in Clause 6.7 above and in any event not later than 180 days after the last day of each
financial period of the Relevant Issuer, a report by two Directors of the Relevant Issuer listing those Subsidiaries of the Relevant Issuer which as at such last day were Principal Subsidiaries for the purposes of Condition 10;


  

	6.23	 	give to the Trustee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the acquisition or disposal of any company which thereby becomes or ceases to be a Principal Subsidiary of the
Relevant Issuer or after any transfer is made to any Subsidiary of the Relevant Issuer which thereby becomes a Principal Subsidiary, a report by two Directors of the Relevant Issuer to such effect; 

  

	6.24	 	give to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within 14 days of of any request by the Trustee, a report by two Directors of the Relevant Issuer as
to the amount of Capital and Reserves, at any time;

by the Trustee and in forming an opinion on whether the Potential Restructuring Event is a Restructuring Event the Trustee shall be entitled, but not bound, to rely solely on such certificate and if it does so rely, such certificate, and the
determination of the Trustee (in reliance on such certificate) as to whether or not a Restructuring Event has occurred, shall be binding on the Relevant Issuer, the Noteholders and the Couponholders and the Trustee shall incur no liability to any
person for so relying on such certificate; and 

  

	6.28	 	procure the delivery of legal opinions addressed to the Trustee dated the date of such delivery, in form and content acceptable to the Trustee:

it prudent in view of a change (or proposed change) in (or in the interpretation or application of) any applicable law, regulation or circumstance affecting the Relevant Issuer, the Trustee, the Notes, the Certificates, the Receipts, the Coupons,
the Talons, this Trust Deed or the Agency Agreement; and 

  

	 	6.28.3	 	on each occasion on which a legal opinion is given to any Dealer in relation to any Notes pursuant to the Programme Agreement from the legal adviser giving such opinion.


  

	7	 	Remuneration and Indemnification of the Trustee 

  

	7.1	 	Normal Remuneration: So long as any Note is outstanding the Relevant Issuer shall pay the Trustee as remuneration for its services as Trustee such sum on such dates in
each case as the Relevant Issuer and the Trustee may from time to time agree. Such remuneration shall accrue from day to day from the date of this Trust Deed. However, if any payment to a Noteholder or Couponholder of moneys due in respect of any
Note, Receipts or Coupon is improperly withheld or refused, such remuneration shall again accrue as from the date of such withholding or refusal until payment to such Noteholder or Couponholder is duly made. 

  

	7.2	 	 Extra Remuneration: If an Event of Default shall have occurred or if the Trustee finds it expedient or necessary or is requested by the Relevant
Issuer to undertake duties that 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 Relevant Issuer shall pay such additional remuneration as they may agree or,
failing agreement as to any of the matters in 



  

 14 








 
this sub-Clause (or as to such sums referred to in sub-Clause 7.1), as determined by an investment bank (acting as an expert) selected by the Trustee and
approved by the Relevant 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 shall be shared equally
between the Trustee and the Relevant Issuer. The determination of such investment bank shall be conclusive and binding on the Relevant Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders. 
  

	7.3	 	Expenses: Each of the Issuers severally undertakes on demand by the Trustee to pay or discharge the full amount of all costs, charges, liabilities and expenses
properly incurred by the Trustee in the preparation and execution of this Trust Deed including, but not limited to, legal and travelling expenses. The Relevant Issuer undertakes on demand by the Trustee to pay or discharge all reasonable costs,
charges, liabilities and expenses properly incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its functions under this Trust Deed including, but not limited to, legal and travelling expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing costs, charges,
liabilities and expenses shall only be paid or discharged once in aggregate amount. The Relevant Issuer shall also on demand by the Trustee pay or discharge any stamp, documentary or other taxes or duties paid by the Trustee in connection with any
legal proceedings properly brought or contemplated by the Trustee against the relevant Issuer to enforce any provision of this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons. Such costs, charges, liabilities and expenses shall:


  

	 	7.3.1	 	in the case of payments made by the Trustee before such demand, carry interest from the date of the demand at the rate of 2 per cent per annum over the base rate of National
Westminster Bank Plc on the date on which the Trustee made such payments until reimbursement is received by the Trustee; and 

  

	 	7.3.2	 	in other cases, carry interest at such rate from 30 days after the date of the demand or (where the demand specifies that payment is to be made on an earlier date) from such
earlier date until reimbursement is received by the Trustee. 

  

	7.4	 	Indemnity: Subject to Clause 9, the Relevant Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee in respect of all liabilities and expenses properly incurred by it or by anyone
appointed by it or to whom any of its functions may be delegated by it in the carrying out of its functions under this deed and against any loss, liability, proper cost, claim, action, demand or expense (including, but not limited to, all proper
costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in disputing or defending any of the foregoing) that any of them may incur or that may be made against any of them arising out of or in relation to or in connection with, its appointment or the exercise
of its functions under this deed. 

  

	7.5	 	Continuing Effect: Sub-clauses 7.3 and 7.4 shall continue in full force and effect as regards the Trustee even if it no longer is Trustee. 

  

	7.6	 	Cost Allocation: The Trustee shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to determine in respect of which Series of Notes any costs, charges, liabilities and expenses
incurred under this Trust Deed have been incurred or to allocate any such costs, charges, liabilities and expenses between the Notes of any two or more Series.

opinion, advice or information purporting to be conveyed by such means even if it contains some error or is not authentic. 
  

	8.2	 	Resolutions of Noteholders: The Trustee shall not be responsible for having acted in good faith on a resolution purporting to have been passed at a meeting of
Noteholders in respect of which minutes have been made and signed even if it is later found that there was a defect in the constitution of the meeting or the passing of the resolution or that the resolution was not valid or binding on the
Noteholders or Couponholders. 

  

	8.3	 	Certificate Signed by Directors: If the Trustee, in the exercise of its functions, requires to be satisfied or to have information as to any fact or the expediency of
any act, it may call for and accept as sufficient evidence of that fact or the expediency of that act a certificate signed by any two Directors of the Relevant Issuer as to that fact or to the effect that, in their opinion, that act is expedient and
the Trustee need not call for further evidence and shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by acting on such a certificate. 

  

	8.4	 	Deposit of Documents: The Trustee may appoint as custodian, on any terms, any bank or entity whose business includes the safe custody of documents or any lawyer or
firm of lawyers believed by it to be of good repute and may deposit this Trust Deed and any other documents with such custodian and pay all sums due in respect thereof. The Trustee is not obliged to appoint a custodian if the Trustee invests in
securities payable to bearer. 

  

	8.5	 	Discretion: The Trustee shall have absolute and uncontrolled discretion as to the exercise of its functions and subject to Clause 9 shall not be responsible for any
loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand, expense or inconvenience that may result from their exercise or non-exercise.

(including the receipt and payment of money).

	8.9	 	Forged Notes: The Trustee shall not be liable to the Relevant Issuer or any Noteholder or Couponholder by reason of having accepted as valid or not having rejected any
Note, Certificate, Receipt, Coupon or Talon purporting to be such and later found to be forged or not authentic. 

  

	8.10	 	Confidentiality: Unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall not be required to disclose to any Noteholder or Couponholder any
confidential financial or other information made available to the Trustee by any Issuer and no Noteholder or Couponholder shall be entitled to take any action to obtain such information from the Trustee. 

  

 16 









	8.11	 	Determinations Conclusive: As between itself and the Noteholders and Couponholders, the Trustee may determine all questions and doubts arising in relation to any of
the provisions of this Trust Deed. Such determinations, whether made upon such a question actually raised or implied in the acts or proceedings of the Trustee, shall be conclusive and shall bind the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders.


  

	8.12	 	Currency Conversion: Where it is necessary or desirable to convert any sum from one currency to another, it shall (unless otherwise provided hereby or required by 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 having consulted the Relevant Issuer (if the Trustee reasonably believes such consultation to be in the interests of
the Noteholders) but having regard to current rates of exchange, if available. Any rate, method and date so specified shall be binding on the Relevant Issuer, the Noteholders and the Couponholders. 

  

	8.13	 	Events of Default: The Trustee may determine whether or not an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is in its opinion capable of remedy and/or materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Relevant Issuer, the Noteholders and the Couponholders. 

  

	8.14	 	Payment for and Delivery of Notes: The Trustee shall not be responsible for the receipt or application by the Relevant Issuer of the proceeds of the issue of the
Notes, any exchange of Notes or the delivery of Notes to the persons entitled to them.

or commenting upon the content of any such legal opinion. 

  

	8.16	 	Notes Held by the Issuer etc.: In the absence of knowledge or express notice to the contrary, the Trustee may assume without enquiry (other than requesting a
certificate under Clause 6.17) that no Notes are for the time being held by or on behalf of the Relevant Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries. 

  

	8.17	 	Programme Limit: The Trustee shall not be concerned, and need not enquire, as to whether or not any Notes are issued in breach of the Programme Limit.


  

	8.18	 	Consent or Approval: Any consent or approval given by the Trustee for the purposes of this Trust Deed may be given on such terms and subject to such conditions (if
any) as the Trustee thinks fit. 

  

	8.19	 	Recitals: With the exception of Recital (B), the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals to this Trust Deed, which shall be taken as
statements of each of the Issuers, and shall not by the execution of this Trust Deed or any Supplemental Trust Deed be deemed to make any representation as to, the adequacy, sufficiency, validity or enforceability of this Trust Deed or any
Supplemental Trust Deed.

presents or to take any steps to ascertain whether any Event of Default, Potential Event of Default, Restructuring Event, Potential Restructuring Event (as defined in Clause 6.25) or Negative Rating Event has happened and, until it shall have actual
knowledge or express notice to the contrary, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default, 



  

 17 








 Restructuring Event, Potential Restructuring Event (as defined in Clause 6.25) or Negative Rating Event
has happened and that the Relevant Issuer is observing and performing all its obligations under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons. 
  

	8.22	 	Responsibility for agents etc.: If the Trustee exercises proper care in selecting any custodian, agent, delegate or nominee appointed under this clause (an
“Appointee”), it will not have any obligation to supervise the Appointee or be responsible for any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand or expense incurred by reason of the Appointee’s misconduct or default or, where
sub-delegation is permissible in terms of this Trust Deed, the misconduct or default of any sub-delegate. The Trustee shall, as soon as possible after the appointment or the removal of any Appointee or the extension or termination of any such
appointment give written notice thereof to each of the Issuers. 

  

	8.23	 	Trustee Act 2000: To the extent that its application can be excluded, Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the trust constituted by this Trust Deed or

 If the Trustee fails to show the degree of care and diligence required of it as trustee having regard to the provisions of the Trust Deed conferring on it
powers, duties and discretions, nothing in this Trust Deed shall relieve or indemnify it from or against any liability that 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	 	Waiver and proof of default 

  

	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 any of the Issuers of this Trust Deed
or the Conditions or determine that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall not be treated as such provided that the Trustee shall not do so in contravention of an express direction given by an Extraordinary Resolution or a request
made pursuant to Condition 10. No such direction or request shall affect a previous waiver, authorisation or determination. Any such waiver, authorisation or determination shall be binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and, if the Trustee
so requires, shall be notified to the Noteholders as soon as practicable. 

  

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

  

	11	 	Trustee not precluded from entering into contracts 

  
 The Trustee and any other person, whether or not acting for itself, may acquire, hold or dispose of any Note, Receipt, Coupon, Talon or other security (or

such person in each case with the 

  

 18 








 same rights as it would have had if the Trustee were not acting as Trustee and need not account for any
profit. 
  

	12	 	Modification and Substitution 

  

	12.1	 	Modification: The Trustee may agree without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders to any modification to this Trust Deed which is 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 that is in its opinion not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders, but subject to the provisions of Clause 12.2
such power does not extend to any such modification as is mentioned in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.8 of Schedule 3. 

  

	12.2	 	Substitution: 

  

	 	12.2.1	 	The Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, agree to the substitution of any company (the “Substituted Obligor”) in place of
the Relevant Issuer (or of any previous substitute under this sub-Clause) as the principal debtor under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons 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, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons (with consequential amendments as the Trustee may deem appropriate) as if the Substituted Obligor had been named in this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Certificates, the Receipts, the Coupons and the
Talons as the principal debtor in place of the Relevant 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
Territory”) other than the territory to the taxing jurisdiction of which (or to any such authority of or in which) the Relevant Issuer is subject generally (the “Issuer’s Territory”), the Substituted Obligor shall
(unless the Trustee otherwise agrees) give to the Trustee an undertaking satisfactory to the Trustee in terms corresponding to Condition 8 with the substitution for the references in that Condition to the Issuer’s Territory of references to the
Substituted Territory, such deed or undertaking also (where applicable) to modify Condition 6(c) so that such Condition shall make reference to the other or additional territory or any political sub-division thereof and any authority therein or
thereof having power to tax whereupon the Trust Deed, the Notes, the Certificates, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons shall be read accordingly; 

  

	 	(iii)	 	if any two Directors of the Substituted Obligor certify 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 Relevant Issuer; 

  

	 	(iv)	 	the Relevant Issuer and the Substituted Obligor comply with such other requirements as the Trustee may direct in the interests of the Noteholders; and 

  

 19 









	 	(v)	 	(unless the Relevant Issuer’s successor in business is the Substituted Obligor) the obligations of the Substituted Obligor as the principal debtor under this Trust Deed, the
Notes and the Coupons are guaranteed by the Relevant Issuer to the Trustee’s satisfaction. 

  

	 	12.2.2	 	Release of Substituted Issuer: An agreement by the Trustee pursuant to sub-Clause 12.2 shall, if so expressed, release the Relevant Issuer (or a previous substitute)
from any or all of its obligations under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons. Notice of the substitution shall be given to the Noteholders within 14 days of the execution of such documents and compliance with such
requirements. 

  

	 	12.2.3	 	Completion of Substitution: On completion of the formalities set out in sub-Clause 12.2, the Substituted Obligor shall be deemed to be named in this Trust Deed, the
Notes, the Certificates, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons as the principal debtor in place of the Relevant Issuer (or of any previous substitute) and this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Certificates, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons
shall be deemed to be amended as necessary to give effect to the substitution. 

  

	13	 	Appointment, Retirement and Removal of the Trustee 

  

	13.1	 	Appointment: The Relevant 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 shall at all times be a Trustee and may be the sole Trustee. Any appointment of a new Trustee shall be notified by the Relevant Issuer to the Noteholders as soon as practicable. 

  

	13.2	 	Retirement and Removal: Any Trustee may retire at any time on giving at least 3 months’ written notice to the Relevant 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 shall 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, it shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that another trust corporation be appointed as
Trustee. 

  

	13.3	 	Co-Trustees: The Trustee may, despite sub-Clause 13.1, by written notice to each of the Issuers 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 obtain a judgment or to enforce a judgment or any provision of this 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 Relevant Issuer and that person so remove that person. At the Trustee’s request, the Relevant Issuer shall forthwith do all things as may be required
to perfect such appointment or 
  

 20 








 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 shall be competent to perform the Trustee’s functions provided the
majority includes a trust corporation. 

  

	14	 	Notes held in Clearing Systems and Couponholders 

  

	14.1	 	Notes Held in Clearing Systems: So long as any Global Note is, or any Notes represented by a Global Certificate are, held on behalf of a clearing system, in
considering the interests of Noteholders, the Trustee may have regard to any information provided to it by such clearing system or its operator as to the identity (either individually or by category) of its accountholders or participants with
entitlements to any such Global Note or the Registered Notes and may consider such interests on the basis that such accountholders or participants were the holder(s) thereof. 

  

	14.2	 	Couponholders: No notices need be given to Couponholders. They shall 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 shall assume that the holder of each Note is the holder of all Receipts, Coupons and Talons relating to it.


  

	15	 	Currency Indemnity 

  

	15.1	 	Currency of Account and Payment: The Contractual Currency is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Relevant Issuer under or in
connection with this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons, including damages. 

  

	15.2	 	Extent of Discharge: An amount received or recovered in a currency other than the Contractual Currency (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or
order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Relevant Issuer or otherwise), by the Trustee or any Noteholder or Couponholder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Relevant Issuer shall only
discharge the Relevant Issuer to the extent of the Contractual Currency amount that the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not
practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). 

  

	15.3	 	Indemnity: If that Contractual Currency amount is less than the Contractual Currency amount expressed to be due to the recipient under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the
Receipts or the Coupons, the Relevant Issuer shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Relevant Issuer shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. 

  

	15.4	 	Indemnity Separate: The indemnities in this Clause 15 and in sub-Clause 7.4 constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Trust
Deed, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Trustee and/or any Noteholder or Couponholder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order,
claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts and/or the Coupons or any other judgment or order. 

  

 21 









	16	 	Communications 

  

	16.1	 	Method: Each communication under this Trust Deed shall be made by telex, fax or otherwise in writing. Each communication or document to be delivered to any party under
this Trust Deed shall be sent to that party at the telex, fax number or address, and marked for the attention of the person (if any), from time to time designated by that party to the other party for the purpose of this Trust Deed. The initial
telephone number, telex number, fax number, address and person so designated by the parties under this Trust Deed are set out in the Procedures Memorandum. 

  

	16.2	 	Deemed Receipt: Any communication from any party to the other under this Trust Deed shall be effective, (if by telex) when a confirmed answerback is received at the
end of the transmission, (if by fax) when good receipt is confirmed by the recipient following enquiry by the sender and (if in writing) when delivered, except that a communication received outside normal business hours shall be deemed to be
received on the next business day in the city in which the recipient is located. 

  

	17	 	Governing Law and Jurisdiction 

  

	17.1	 	Governing Law: This Trust Deed shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. 

  

	17.2	 	Jurisdiction: The courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or in connection with this Trust Deed, the Notes, the
Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such
courts. Each of the Issuers irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objections to Proceedings in such courts on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. This
submission is for the benefit of each of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Couponholders and shall not limit the right of any of them to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in any one
or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not). 

  

	17.3	 	 Service of Process: Scottish Power plc shall procure that its London office, whose address is at 5th Floor, 30 Cannon Street, London EC4M 6XH, will act as its agent for service of process in any Proceedings in England. Scottish Power UK plc shall procure that
Scottish Power plc’s London office will act as its agent for service of process in any Proceedings in England. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to such process agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by the
relevant Issuer). If for any reason such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or no longer has an address in England each Issuer irrevocably agrees to appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Trustee and shall immediately
notify the Trustee of such appointment. Nothing shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 SCHEDULE 2 
 Part C 
 Terms and Conditions of the Notes 
  

 48 








 Terms and Conditions of the Notes 
  
 The following is the text of the terms and conditions that, subject to completion and minor amendment and as supplemented or varied in
accordance with the provisions of the relevant Pricing Supplement, shall be applicable to the Notes in definitive form (if any) issued in exchange for the Global Note(s) representing each Series. Either (i) the full text of the relevant provisions
of these terms and conditions together with the relevant provisions of the Pricing Supplement or (ii) these terms and conditions as so completed, amended, supplemented or varied (and subject to simplification by the deletion of non-applicable
provisions), shall be endorsed on such Bearer Notes or on the Certificates relating to such Registered Notes. Words and expressions defined in the Trust Deed or the Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Pricing Supplement shall have the same
meanings where used in these Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated provided that, in the event of inconsistency between the Agency Agreement and the Trust Deed, the Trust Deed will prevail and, in the event of
inconsistency between the Agency Agreement or the Trust Deed and the applicable Pricing Supplement, the applicable Pricing Supplement will prevail. Those definitions will be endorsed on the definitive Notes or Certificates, as the case may be.
References in the Conditions to “Notes” are to the Notes of one Series only, not to all Notes that may be issued under the Programme. References in the Conditions to the “Issuer” shall be references to the party specified as such
in the relevant Pricing Supplement. 
  
 The Notes are constituted by an
Amended and Restated Trust Deed (as amended or supplemented as at the date of issue of the Notes (the “Issue Date”), the “Trust Deed”) dated 16th December 2002 between Scottish Power plc, Scottish Power UK plc and The Law
Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the “Trustee”, which expression shall include all persons for the time being the trustee or trustees under the Trust Deed) as trustee for the Noteholders (as defined below). These terms and conditions
include summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed, which includes the form of the Bearer Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons referred to below. An Amended and Restated Agency Agreement (as amended or
supplemented as at the Issue Date, the “Agency Agreement”) dated 16th December 2002 has been entered into in relation to the Notes between Scottish Power plc, Scottish Power UK plc, the Trustee, Citibank, N.A., London as initial issuing
and paying agent and the other agents named in it. The issuing and paying agent, the paying agents, the registrar, the transfer agents and the calculation agent(s) for the time being (if any) are referred to below respectively as the “Issuing
and Paying Agent”, the “Paying Agents” (which expression shall include the Issuing and Paying Agent), the “Registrar”, the “Transfer Agents” (which expression shall include the Registrar) and the “Calculation
Agent(s)”. Copies of the relevant Pricing Supplement, Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement are available for inspection during usual business hours at the registered office of the Trustee (presently at Fifth Floor, 100 Wood Street, London EC2V
7EX) and at the specified offices of the Paying Agents and the Transfer Agents. 
  
 The Noteholders, the holders of the interest coupons (the “Coupons”) appertaining to interest bearing Notes in bearer form and, where applicable in the case of such Notes, talons for further Coupons (the “Talons”) (the
“Couponholders”) and the holders of the receipts for the payment of instalments of principal (the “Receipts”) relating to Notes in bearer form of which the principal is payable in instalments are entitled to the benefit of, are
bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed and the relevant Pricing Supplement and are deemed to have notice of those provisions applicable to them of the Agency Agreement. 
  
 Provisions in square brackets are only applicable to Notes issued by Scottish Power plc.
Provisions in square brackets preceded by an asterisk are only applicable to Notes issued by Scottish Power UK plc. 
  

	1.	 	Form, Denomination and Title 

  
 The Notes are issued in bearer form (“Bearer Notes”, which expression includes Notes that are specified to be Exchangeable Bearer Notes), in registered form
(“Registered Notes”) or in bearer form exchangeable for Registered Notes (“Exchangeable Bearer Notes”) in each case in the Denomination(s) shown thereon. 
  

 49 








 All Registered Notes shall have the same Denomination. Where Exchangeable Bearer Notes are issued, the Registered Notes
for which they are exchangeable shall have the same Denomination as the lowest denomination of Exchangeable Bearer Notes. 
  
 Bearer Notes are serially numbered and are issued with Coupons (and, where appropriate, a Talon) attached, save in the case of Notes that do not bear interest in which
case references to interest (other than in relation to interest due after the Maturity Date), Coupons and Talons in these Conditions are not applicable. Any Bearer Note the principal amount of which is redeemable in instalments is issued with one or
more Receipts attached. 
  
 Registered Notes are represented by registered
certificates (“Certificates”) and, save as provided in Condition 2(c), each Certificate shall represent the entire holding of Registered Notes by the same holder. 
  
 Title to the Bearer Notes and the Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall pass by delivery. Title to the Registered Notes shall pass by
registration in the register that the Issuer shall procure to be kept by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement (the “Register”). Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by
law, the holder (as defined below) of any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon shall be deemed to be and may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or an interest in
it, any writing on it (or on the Certificate representing it) or its theft or loss (or that of the related Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating the holder. 
  
 In these Conditions, “Noteholder” means the bearer of any Bearer Note and the Receipts relating to it or the person in whose name
a Registered Note is registered (as the case may be), “holder” (in relation to a Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon) means the bearer of any Bearer Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon or the person in whose name a Registered Note is registered (as
the case may be) and capitalised terms have the meanings given to them hereon, the absence of any such meaning indicating that such term is not applicable to the Notes. 
  

	2.	 	Exchanges of Exchangeable Bearer Notes and Transfers of Registered Notes 

  

	(a)	 	Exchange of Exchangeable Bearer Notes 

  
 Subject as provided in Condition 2(f), Exchangeable Bearer Notes may be exchanged for the same aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes at the request in
writing of the relevant Noteholder and upon surrender of each Exchangeable Bearer Note to be exchanged, together with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons and Talons relating to it, at the specified office of any Transfer Agent; provided, however, that
where an Exchangeable Bearer Note is surrendered for exchange after the Record Date (as defined in Condition 7(b)) for any payment of interest, the Coupon in respect of that payment of interest need not be surrendered with it. Registered
Notes may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes. Bearer Notes of one Denomination may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes of another Denomination. Bearer Notes that are not Exchangeable Bearer Notes may not be exchanged for Registered Notes. 

 

	(b)	 	Transfer of Registered Notes 

  
 One or more Registered Notes may be transferred upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent) of the Certificate representing such
Registered Notes to be transferred, together with the form of transfer endorsed on such Certificate duly completed and executed and any other evidence as the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only
of a holding of Registered Notes represented by one Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a further new Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be
issued to the transferor. 
  

	(c)	 	Exercise of Options or Partial Redemption in Respect of Registered Notes 

  
 In the case of an exercise of the Issuer’s or Noteholders’ option in respect of, or a partial redemption of, a holding of
Registered Notes represented by a single Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the holder to reflect the exercise of such option or in respect of the balance of the holding not redeemed. In the case of a partial exercise of an option
resulting in Registered Notes of the same holding having different terms, separate Certificates 

  

 50 








 
shall be issued in respect of those Notes of that holding that have the same terms. New Certificates shall only be issued against surrender of the existing
Certificates to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent. In the case of a transfer of Registered Notes to a person who is already a holder of Registered Notes, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of
the Certificate representing the existing holding. 
  

	(d)	 	Delivery of New Certificates 

  
 Each new Certificate to be issued pursuant to Conditions 2(a), (b) or (c) shall be available for delivery within five business days of receipt of the
request for exchange, form of transfer or Exercise Notice or surrender of the Certificate for exchange. Delivery of the new Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office of the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom
delivery or surrender of such request for exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or Certificate shall have been made or, at the option of the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant request for
exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured post at the risk of the holder entitled to the new Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless such holder requests otherwise and pays in
advance to the relevant Agent the costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may specify. In this Condition 2(d), “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open for
business in the place of the specified office of the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar. 
  

	(e)	 	Exchange Free of Charge 

  
 Exchange and transfer of Notes and Certificates on registration, transfer, exercise of an option or partial redemption shall be effected without charge by or on behalf of
the Issuer, the Registrar or the Transfer Agents, but upon payment by a Noteholder of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it (or the giving by a Noteholder of such indemnity as the Registrar or the relevant
Transfer Agent may reasonably require). 
  

	(f)	 	Closed Periods 

  
 No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered or an Exchangeable Bearer Note to be exchanged for one or more Registered Note(s) (i) during the period of 15 days ending on the due date
for redemption of, or payment of any Instalment Amount in respect of, that Note, (ii) during the period of 15 days prior to any date on which Notes may be called for redemption by the Issuer at its option pursuant to Condition 6(d), (iii)
after any such Note has been called for redemption or (iv) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date. An Exchangeable Bearer Note called for redemption may, however, be exchanged for one or more Registered Note(s) in
respect of which the Certificate is simultaneously surrendered not later than the relevant Record Date. 
  

	3.	 	Status 

  
 The Notes and the Receipts and Coupons constitute (subject to Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. The payment
obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Receipts and Coupons shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 4, at all times rank at least equally with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness and monetary obligations of the Issuer, present and future. 
  

	4.	 	Negative Pledge 

  
 So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed) the Issuer will ensure that no Relevant Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Negative Pledge Company (as defined in Condition 6) or of any
other person and no guarantee by the Issuer or any Negative Pledge Company of any Relevant Indebtedness (as defined in Condition 6) 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 Negative Pledge Company unless the Issuer shall, before or at the same time as the
creation of the Security Interest, take any and all action necessary to ensure that: 
  

 51 








 (i) all amounts payable by it under the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Trust Deed are secured equally and
rateably with the Relevant Indebtedness or guarantee, as the case may be, by the Security Interest to the satisfaction of the Trustee; or 
  
 (ii) such other Security Interest or guarantee or other arrangement (whether or not including the giving of a Security Interest) is provided in respect of all amounts
payable by the Issuer under the Notes, the Receipts, 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 Issuer or any Negative Pledge Company may create or have outstanding a Security Interest in respect of any Relevant Indebtedness and/or any guarantees given by the Issuer or any Negative Pledge Company in respect of any
Relevant Indebtedness of any person (without the obligation to provide a Security Interest or guarantee or other arrangement in respect of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Trust Deed as aforesaid) where (1) such Relevant Indebtedness has
an initial maturity of not less than twenty years and is of a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time not exceeding the greater of £250,000,000 or 20% of the Capital and Reserves (as defined in Condition 6) or (2) such Security
Interest is provided in respect of a company becoming a Subsidiary of the Issuer after the date of the relevant Pricing Supplement and where such Security Interest existed at the time that company becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer (provided that
such Security Interest was not created in contemplation of that company becoming a Subsidiary of the Issuer and the principal amount secured at the time of that company becoming a Subsidiary of the Issuer is not subsequently increased). 

 

	5.	 	Interest and Other Calculations 

  

	(a)	 	Interest Rate and Accrual 

  
 Each Note bears interest on its outstanding principal amount from the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Interest
Rate, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. 
  
 Interest shall cease to accrue on each Note on the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well after as before
judgment) at the Interest Rate in the manner provided in this Condition 5 to the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 8). 
  

	(b)	 	Business Day Convention 

  
 If any date referred to in these Conditions that is specified to be subject to adjustment in accordance with a Business Day Convention would otherwise fall on a day that
is not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified is (i) the Floating Rate Business Day Convention, such date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in
which event (A) such date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (B) each subsequent such date shall be the last Business Day of the month in which such date would have fallen had it not been subject to adjustment,
(ii) the Following Business Day Convention, such date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, (iii) the Modified Following Business Day Convention, such date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day unless it
would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event such date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day or (iv) the Preceding Business Day Convention, such date shall be brought forward to the immediately
preceding Business Day. 
  

	(c)	 	Interest Rate on Floating Rate Notes 

  
 If the Interest Rate is specified in the Pricing Supplement as being Floating Rate, the Interest Rate for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent at or about the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the following: 
  

(i) if the Primary Source for the Floating Rate is a Page, subject as provided below, the Interest Rate shall be: 
  
 (x) the Relevant Rate (where such Relevant Rate on such Page is a composite quotation or is
customarily supplied by one entity); or 
  

 52 








 (y) the arithmetic mean of the Relevant Rates of the persons whose Relevant Rates appear on that Page, 
  
 in each case appearing on such Page at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date

  
 (ii) if the Page specified in the Pricing Supplement as a Primary Source
permanently ceases to quote the Relevant Rate(s) but such quotation(s) is/are available from another page, section or other part of such information service selected by the Calculation Agent (the “Replacement Page”), the Replacement Page
shall be substituted as the Primary Source for Interest Rate Quotations and if no Replacement Page exists but such quotation(s) is/are available from a page, section or other part of a different information service selected by the Calculation Agent
and approved by the Issuer (the “Secondary Replacement Page”), the Secondary Replacement Page shall be substituted as the Primary Source for Interest Rate Quotations 
  
 (iii) if the Primary Source for the Floating Rate is Reference Banks (as defined below) or if sub-paragraph (i)(x) applies and no Relevant
Rate appears on the Page at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date or if sub-paragraph (i)(y) above applies and fewer than two Relevant Rates appear on the Page at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date, subject as
provided below, the Interest Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the Relevant Rates that each of the Reference Banks is quoting to leading banks in the Relevant Financial Centre at the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date, as determined
by the Calculation Agent and 
  
 (iv) if paragraph (iii) above applies, and the
Calculation Agent determines that fewer than two Reference Banks are so quoting Relevant Rates, subject as provided below, the Interest Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates per annum (expressed as a percentage) that the Calculation Agent
determines to be the rates (being the nearest equivalent to the Benchmark) in respect of a Representative Amount of the Relevant Currency that at least two out of five leading banks selected by the Calculation Agent in the principal financial centre
of the country of the Relevant Currency or, if the Relevant Currency is euro, in the Euro-zone as selected by the Calculation Agent (the “Principal Financial Centre”) are quoting at or about the Relevant Time on the date on which such
banks would customarily quote such rates for a period commencing on the Effective Date for a period equivalent to the Specified Duration (x) to leading banks carrying on business in Europe, or (if the Calculation Agent determines that fewer than two
of such banks are so quoting to leading banks in Europe) (y) to leading banks carrying on business in the Principal Financial Centre; except that, if fewer than two of such banks are so quoting to leading banks in the Principal Financial Centre, the
Interest Rate shall be the Interest Rate determined on the previous Interest Determination Date (after readjustment for any difference between any Margin, Rate Multiplier or Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate applicable to the preceding Interest
Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual Period). 
  

	(d)	 	Interest Rate on Zero Coupon Notes 

  
 Where a Note the Interest Rate of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero Coupon is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the
amount due and payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Redemption Amount of such Note. As from the Maturity Date, the Interest Rate for any overdue principal of such a Note shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the
Amortisation Yield (as defined in Condition 6(b)). 
  

	(e)	 	Margin, Maximum/Minimum Interest Rates, Instalment Amounts and Redemption Amounts, Rate Multipliers and Rounding 

  
 (i) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x)
generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall be made to all Interest Rates, in the case of (x), or the Interest Rates for the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in
accordance with Condition 5(c) above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting the absolute value (if a negative number) of such Margin or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject always to the next paragraph. 
  

 53 








 (ii) If any Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate, Instalment Amount or Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing
Supplement, then any Interest Rate, Instalment Amount or Redemption Amount shall be subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be. 
  
 (iii) For the purposes of any calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement), (x) all percentages resulting
from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up), (y) all figures shall be rounded to seven significant figures (with halves being rounded up) and (z)
all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded to the nearest unit of such currency (with halves being rounded up), save in the case of yen, which shall be rounded down to the nearest yen. For these purposes “unit” means
the lowest amount of such currency that is available as legal tender in the country(ies) of such currency and, with respect to euro, means 0.01 euro. 
  

	(f)	 	Calculations 

  
 The amount of interest payable in respect of any Note for any period shall be calculated by multiplying the product of the Interest Rate and the outstanding principal amount of such Note by the Day Count Fraction,
unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for its calculation) is specified in respect of such period, in which case the amount of interest payable in respect of such Note for such period shall equal such Interest Amount (or be calculated in
accordance with such formula). Where any Interest Period comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Interest Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect of each of
those Interest Accrual Periods. 
  

	(g)	 	Determination and Publication of Interest Rates, Interest Amounts, Redemption Amounts and Instalment Amounts 

  
 As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such
other time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any Redemption Amount or Instalment Amount, obtain any quote or make any determination or calculation, it shall determine the Interest Rate and calculate the amount of
interest payable (the “Interest Amounts”) in respect of each Denomination of the Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Redemption Amount or Instalment Amount, obtain such quote or make such determination or
calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Interest Rate and the Interest Amounts for each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Redemption Amount or any Instalment Amount to be notified to
the Trustee, the Issuer, each of the Paying Agents, the Noteholders, any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the Notes are listed on a stock
exchange and the rules of such exchange or other relevant authority so require, such exchange or other relevant authority as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than (i) the commencement of the relevant Interest Period,
if determined prior to such time, in the case of notification to such exchange of an Interest Rate and Interest Amount, or (ii) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination. Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Period
Date is subject to adjustment pursuant to Condition 5(b), the Interest Amounts and the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made with the consent of the Trustee by way of
adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. If the Notes become due and payable under Condition 10, the accrued interest and the Interest Rate payable in respect of the Notes shall nevertheless
continue to be calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the Interest Rate or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made unless the Trustee otherwise requires. The determination of each Interest Rate,
Interest Amount, Redemption Amount and Instalment Amount, the obtaining of each quote and the making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

  

	(h)	 	Determination or Calculation by Trustee 

  
 If the Calculation Agent does not at any time for any reason determine or calculate the Interest Rate for an Interest Period or any Interest Amount, Instalment Amount or
Redemption Amount, the Trustee shall do so (or shall appoint an agent on its behalf to do 

  

 54 








 
so) and such determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been made by the Calculation Agent. In doing so, the Trustee shall apply the foregoing
provisions of this Condition, with any necessary consequential amendments, to the extent that, in its opinion, it can do so, and, in all other respects it shall do so in such manner as it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances.

of this Condition 5, whether by the Calculation Agent or the Trustee, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee, the other Paying Agents and all Noteholders,
Receiptholders and Couponholders and (in the absence as aforesaid) no liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Calculation Agent or the Trustee in connection with the exercise or
non-exercise by them of their powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions. 
  

	6.	 	Redemption, Purchase and Options 

  

	(a)	 	Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption 

  
 (i) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition 6 or the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified hereon) is
extended pursuant to the Issuer’s or any Noteholder’s option in accordance with Condition 6(d) or 6(e), 

  

 57 








 
each Note that provides for Instalment Dates and Instalment Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the related Instalment Amount
specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding principal amount of each such Note shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if such Instalment Amount is calculated by reference to a proportion of the principal amount of such Note, such
proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related Instalment Date, unless payment of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or refused on presentation of the related Receipt, in which case, such amount shall remain outstanding until
the Relevant Date relating to such Instalment Amount. 
  
 (ii) Unless previously
redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or its maturity is extended pursuant to the Issuer’s or any Noteholder’s option in accordance with Condition 6(d) or 6(e), each Note shall be finally redeemed on the
Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Redemption Amount (which, unless otherwise provided in the Pricing Supplement, is its principal amount) or, in the case of a Note falling within paragraph(i) above, its final Instalment
Amount. 
  

	(b)	 	Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Notes 

  
 (i) The Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Note that does not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Redemption Amount of which is not linked to an index
and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Note pursuant to Condition 6(c) or 6(f) or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10 shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as provided below) of such Note.

  
 (ii) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (iii) below, the Amortised
Face Amount of any such Note shall be the scheduled Redemption Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date discounted at a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield (which, if none is shown in the Pricing Supplement,
shall be such rate as would produce an Amortised Face Amount equal to the issue price of the Notes if they were discounted back to their issue price on the Issue Date) compounded annually. Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less
than one year, it shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction shown hereon. 
  
 (iii) If the Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Note upon its redemption pursuant to Condition 6(c) or 6(f) or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10 is not paid when due, the Redemption
Amount due and payable in respect of such Note shall be the Amortised Face Amount of such Note as defined in sub-paragraph (ii) above, except that such sub-paragraph shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which the Note
becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant Date. The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph shall continue to be made (as well after as before judgment) until the Relevant Date,
unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Redemption Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date together with any interest that may accrue in accordance with Condition
5(d). 
  

	(c)	 	Redemption for Taxation Reasons 

  
 If, as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or regulations of the United Kingdom or of any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof
having power to tax or any change in the official or generally accepted interpretation or application of such laws or regulations which becomes effective on or after the date of the agreement to issue the first Tranche of the Notes, the Issuer has
or will become obliged to pay any additional amounts as described in Condition 8 (and such amendment or change has been evidenced by the delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee (who shall accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence
thereof) of (i) a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer on behalf of the Issuer stating that such amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then effective), describing the facts leading thereto
and stating that such requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer, taking reasonable measures available to it and (ii) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that such amendment or change has occurred
(irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then effective)), the Issuer may (having given not less than 30 nor more than 90 days notice to the Trustee and to the holders in accordance with Condition 16) redeem all, but not some only, of
the Notes (other than Notes in respect of which the Issuer shall have given a notice of redemption pursuant to Condition 6(d) or in respect of 

  

 58 








 
which a Noteholder shall have given a Put Event Notice in accordance with Condition 6(f), in each case prior to any notice being given under this
Condition 6(c)) at their Redemption Amount, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for such redemption, 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. 
  

	(d)	 	Redemption at the Option of the Issuer and Exercise of Issuer’s Options 

  
 If so provided in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, on giving irrevocable notice to the Noteholders falling within the Issuer’s
Option Period, redeem, or exercise the Issuer’s option in relation to, all or, if so provided, some of the Notes (other than Notes in respect of which the Issuer shall have given a notice of redemption pursuant to Condition 6(c) or in
respect of which a Noteholder shall have given a Put Event Notice in accordance with Condition 6(f), in each case prior to any notice being given under this Condition 6(d)) in the principal amount or integral multiples thereof and on
the date or dates so provided. Any such redemption of Notes shall be at their Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. 
  

All Notes in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in
accordance with this Condition. 
  
 In the case of a partial redemption or a
partial exercise of the Issuer’s option, the notice to Noteholders shall also contain the certificate numbers of the Notes to be redeemed or in respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place as the
Trustee may approve and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any applicable laws and stock exchange or other relevant authority requirements. So long as the Notes are listed on the Official List and are admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities or any other stock exchange and the rules of the relevant stock exchange or other relevant authority so require, the Issuer shall, once in each year in which there has been a
partial redemption of the Notes, cause to be published in a leading newspaper of general circulation in the United Kingdom or as specified by such other stock exchange or other relevant authority, a notice specifying the aggregate principal amount
of Notes outstanding and a list of the Notes drawn for redemption but not surrendered. 
  

	(e)	 	Redemption at the Option of Noteholders and Exercise of Noteholders’ Options 

  
 If so provided in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the holder of any such Note, redeem such Note on the date or
dates so provided at its Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. 
  
 To exercise such option or any other Noteholders’ option that may be set out hereon the holder must deposit (in the case of Bearer Notes) such Note (together with all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and

	(f)	 	Redemption at the Option of the Noteholders on a Put Event 

  
 If this Condition 6(f) is specified in the Pricing Supplement as being applicable, then if, at any time while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Restructuring
Event occurs and prior to the commencement of or during the Restructuring Period an Independent Financial Adviser shall have certified in writing to the Trustee that such Restructuring Event will not be or is 

  

 59 








 
not, in its opinion, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders, the following provisions of this Condition 6(f) shall cease to have
any further effect in relation to such Restructuring Event. 
  
 If, at any time
while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Restructuring Event occurs and (subject to this Condition 6(f)) within the Restructuring Period, either: 
  

(i) if at the time such Restructuring Event occurs there are Rated Securities, a Rating Downgrade in respect of such Restructuring Event also occurs; or 
  
 (ii) if at such time there are no Rated Securities, a Negative Rating Event also occurs; and

  
 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 a notice under Condition 6(c) or
6(d), the holder of each Note will, upon the giving of a Put Event Notice (as defined below), have the option (the “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 principal amount together with (or, where purchased, together with an amount equal to) interest (if any) accrued to (but excluding) the Put Date. 
  
 An event shall be deemed not to be a Restructuring Event if, notwithstanding the occurrence
of a Rating Downgrade or a Negative Rating Event, the rating assigned to the Rated Securities by any Rating Agency 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 a Relevant Subsidiary (or of any Subsidiary of the Issuer which is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Issuer or a Relevant Subsidiary) 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. 
  
 Promptly upon, and in any event within 14 days after, the Issuer becoming aware that a Put Event has occurred, 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 principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall, give notice (a “Put Event Notice”) to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 16
specifying the nature of the Put Event and the procedure for exercising the Put Option. 
  
 To exercise the Put Option, the holder of a Note must deposit (in the case of a Bearer Note) such Note with any Paying Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Certificate representing such Note(s) with the Registrar or any Transfer
Agent at its specified office, on a day which is a Business Day in the City of London and in the place of such specified office falling within the period (the “Put Period”) of 45 days after that on which a Put Event Notice is given,
accompanied by a duly completed and signed notice of exercise in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from any specified office of any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent (as applicable) (a “Put Notice”) and in
which the holder may specify a bank account to which payment is to be made under this Condition 6. Where any Bearer Note is delivered without all Coupons relating to it which mature after the day (the “Put Date”) being the fifteenth day
after the date of expiry of the Put Period, the exercise of the Put Option in respect of such Note shall be subject to the provision of such indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. The Paying Agent to which such Note and Put Notice or, as
the case may be, the Registrar or Transfer Agent to which the Certificate and Put Notice are delivered shall issue to the Noteholder concerned a non-transferable receipt in respect of the Note so delivered. Payment in respect of any Note so
delivered shall be made, if the holder duly specifies in the Put Notice an account with a bank to which payment is to be made, on the Put Date by transfer to that bank account and, in every other case, on or after the Put Date in each case against
presentation and surrender or (as the case may be) endorsement of such receipt at any specified office of any Paying Agent. A Put Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. For the purposes of Conditions 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 and for certain
other purposes specified in the Trust Deed, receipts issued pursuant to this Condition 6(f) shall be 

  

 60 








 
treated as if they were Notes. The Issuer shall redeem or, at the option of the Issuer, purchase (or procure the purchase of) the relevant Note on the
applicable Put Date unless previously redeemed or purchased. 
  
 A Rating
Downgrade or a Negative Rating Event or a non-investment grade rating shall be deemed not to have occurred as a result or in respect of a Restructuring Event if the Rating Agency making the relevant reduction in rating or, where applicable,
declining to assign a rating of at least investment grade as provided in this Condition 6(f) does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction or, where applicable, declining to assign a
rating of at least investment grade was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised in or arising as a result of the applicable Restructuring Event. 
  
 The Trust Deed provides that the Trustee is under no obligation to ascertain whether a Restructuring Event, a Negative Rating Event or any
event which could lead to the occurrence of, or could constitute a, Restructuring Event has occurred and until it shall have actual knowledge or express notice pursuant to the Trust Deed to the contrary the Trustee may assume that no Restructuring
Event, Negative Rating Event or such other event has occurred. The Trust Deed also provides that in determining whether or not a Restructuring Event has occurred, the Trustee may rely solely on an opinion given in a certificate signed by two

 (i) Unless the Pricing Supplement provides that the relative Coupons are to become void upon the due date for redemption of those Notes, Bearer Notes should be
surrendered for payment together with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto, failing which an amount equal to the face value of each missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, that proportion of the
amount of such missing unmatured Coupon that the sum of principal so paid bears to the total principal due) shall be deducted from the Redemption Amount due for payment. Any amount so deducted shall be paid in the manner mentioned above against
surrender of such missing Coupon within a period of 10 years from the Relevant Date for the payment of such principal (whether or not such Coupon has become void pursuant to Condition 9). 
  
 (ii) If the Pricing Supplement so provides, upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note, unmatured Coupons relating to such Note
(whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect of them. 
  
 (iii) Upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note, any unexchanged Talon relating to such Note (whether or not attached) shall become void and no Coupon shall be delivered in respect of such Talon. 

 
 (iv) Upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note that is redeemable in
instalments, all Receipts relating to such Note having an Instalment Date falling on or after such due date (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect of them. 
  

 67 








 (v) Where any Bearer Note that provides that the relative unmatured Coupons are to become void upon the due date for
redemption of those Notes is presented for redemption without all unmatured Coupons and any unexchanged Talon relating to it, and where any Bearer Note is presented for redemption without all unmatured Coupons and any unexchanged Talon relating to
it, redemption shall be made only against the provision of such indemnity as the Issuer may require. 
  
 (vi) If the due date for redemption of any Note is not a due date for payment of interest, interest accrued from the preceding due date for payment of interest or the Interest Commencement Date, as the case may be,
shall only be payable against presentation (and surrender if appropriate) of the relevant Bearer Note or Certificate representing it, as the case may be. Interest accrued on a Note that only bears interest after its Maturity Date shall be payable on
redemption of such Note against presentation of the relevant Note or Certificate representing it, as the case may be. 
  

	(g)	 	Talons 

  
 On or after the Interest Payment Date for the final Coupon forming part of a Coupon sheet issued in respect of any Bearer Note, the Talon forming part of such Coupon sheet may be surrendered at the specified office of
the Issuing and Paying Agent in exchange for a further Coupon sheet (and if necessary another Talon for a further Coupon sheet) (but excluding any Coupons that may have become void pursuant to Condition 9). 
  

	(h)	 	Non-Business Days 

  
 If any date for payment in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a business day, the holder shall not be entitled to payment until the next following business day nor to any interest or other sum in respect of
such postponed payment. In this paragraph, “business day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in the relevant place of presentation, in such jurisdictions as
shall be specified as “Business Day Jurisdictions” hereon and: 
  
 (i)
(in the case of a payment in a currency other than euro) where payment is to be made by transfer to an account maintained with a bank in the relevant currency, on which foreign exchange transactions may be carried on in the relevant currency in the
principal financial centre of the country of such currency or 
  
 (ii) (in the
case of a payment in euro) which is a TARGET Business Day. 
  

	8.	 	Taxation 

  
 All payments of principal and interest by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United Kingdom or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.
In the event of such a withholding or deduction required by law, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts as shall result in receipt by the Noteholders and Couponholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding
or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Note, Receipt or Coupon: 
  
 (a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a holder who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon by
reason of his having some connection with the United Kingdom other than the mere holding of the Note, Receipt or Coupon; or 
  
 (b) presented (or in respect of which the Certificate representing it is presented) for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the
holder of it would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting it for payment on the thirtieth day; or 
  

 68 








 (c) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to
any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th-27th November 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

  
 (d) presented for payment by or on behalf of a Noteholder or a Couponholder
who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note, Receipt or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union. 
  
 As used in these Conditions, “Relevant Date” in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon means the date on which payment in respect
of it first becomes due or (if any amount of the money payable is improperly withheld or refused) the date on which payment in full of the amount outstanding is made or (if earlier) the date seven days after that on which notice is duly given to the
Noteholders that, upon further presentation of the Note (or relative Certificate), Receipt or Coupon being made in accordance with the Conditions, such payment will be made, provided that payment is in fact made upon such presentation. References in
these Conditions to (i) “principal” shall be deemed to include any premium payable in respect of the Notes, all Instalment Amounts, Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature of principal payable
pursuant to Condition 6 or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii) “interest” shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts and all other amounts payable pursuant to Condition 5 or any amendment or supplement to it and (iii)
“principal” and/or “interest” shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition or any undertaking given in addition to or in substitution for it under the Trust Deed. 
  

	9.	 	Prescription 

  
 Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons (which, for this purpose, shall not include Talons) shall be prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years (in the case of
principal) or five years (in the case of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them. 
  

	10.	 	Events of Default 

  
 The Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the
Noteholders shall, subject to being indemnified to its satisfaction, (but, in the case of the happening of any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraphs (b), (c), (e), (f), (g) and (h) 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 to the Issuer that the Notes are, and they shall accordingly thereby forthwith become, immediately due and repayable at their
principal amount together with accrued interest (as provided in the Trust Deed) if any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall have occurred (unless such Event of Default has been remedied to the satisfaction of the
Trustee): 
  
 (a) if default is made for a period of 14 days or more in the
payment of any principal or the purchase price due in respect of the Notes or any of them pursuant to Condition 6 or 21 days or more in the payment of any interest due in respect of the Notes or any of them; or 
  
 (b) if the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its other obligations 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) such
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 of notice on the Issuer requiring the same to be remedied; or 
  
 (c) 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 

  

 69 








 
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 for 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 (as determined by the Trustee) or 2% of Capital and Reserves, and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph (c), “indebtedness for borrowed money” shall exclude Project
Finance Indebtedness; or 
  
 (d) if any order shall be made by any competent court
or any resolution shall be passed for the winding up or dissolution of the Issuer, save for the purpose of amalgamation, merger, consolidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or other similar arrangement on terms previously approved in writing by
the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed having regard to the interests of the Noteholders) or by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders; or 
  
 (e) if any order shall be made by any competent court or any resolution shall be passed for the winding up or dissolution of a Principal
Subsidiary, save for the purposes of amalgamation, merger, consolidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or other similar arrangement (A) not involving or arising out of the insolvency of such Principal Subsidiary and under which all the surplus
assets of such Principal Subsidiary are transferred to the Issuer or any of its other Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) or (B) the terms of which have previously been approved in writing by the Trustee (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed having regard to the interests of Noteholders) or by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders; or 
  
 (f) if the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary shall cease to carry on the whole or substantially the whole of its business (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is, in the
case of the Issuer, its operation as a holding company), save: 
  
 (i) in each
case for the purpose of amalgamation, merger, consolidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or other similar arrangement (A) not involving or arising out of the insolvency of the Issuer or such Principal Subsidiary and under which all or
substantially all of its assets are transferred to another member or members of the Group (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) or to a transferee or transferees which is or are, or immediately upon such transfer become(s), a member or members of the
Group (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), or (B) the terms of which have previously been approved in writing by the Trustee or by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders; or 
  
 [(ii) in each case where there is a disposal of Scottish Power UK plc or a Principal Subsidiary or the business of any Principal Subsidiary
under which all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to a third party or parties (whether associates or not) for full consideration, by the Issuer or a member or members of the Group (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) on an arm’s
length basis.] 
  
 *[(ii) in each case where there is a disposal of a Principal
Subsidiary or the business of any Principal Subsidiary under which all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to a third party or parties (whether associates or not) for full consideration, by the Issuer or a member or members of the
Group (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) on an arm’s length basis,] 
  
 provided that if neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary Undertaking holds a Relevant Licence, the Issuer shall be deemed to have ceased to carry on the whole or substantially the whole of its business (and neither of exceptions (i)(A) or
(ii) shall apply); or 
  
 (g) if the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary shall
suspend or announce its intention to suspend 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 generally (within the meaning of Section
123(1) or (2) of the Insolvency Act 1986) as they fall due, or shall be 

  

 70 








 
adjudicated or found insolvent by a competent court or shall enter into any composition or other similar arrangement with its creditors generally under
Section 1 of the Insolvency Act 1986; or 
  
 (h) if a receiver, administrative
receiver, administrator or other similar official shall be appointed in relation to the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary or in relation to the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking or assets of any of them or a distress, execution or
other process shall be levied or enforced upon or sued out against, or any encumbrancer shall take possession of, the whole or a substantial part of the assets of any of them and in any of the foregoing cases it or he shall not be paid out or
discharged within 90 days (or such longer period as the Trustee may in its absolute discretion permit). 
  
 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (g) above, Section 123(1)(a) of the Insolvency Act 1986 shall have effect as if for “£750” there was substituted “£500,000”. Neither the Issuer nor any
Principal Subsidiary shall be deemed to be unable to pay its debts for the purposes of sub-paragraph (g) above if any such demand as is mentioned in Section 123(1)(a) of the Insolvency Act 1986 is being contested in good faith by the Issuer or the
relevant Principal Subsidiary with recourse to all appropriate measures and procedures or if any such demand is satisfied before the expiration of such period as may be stated in any notice given by the Trustee under this Condition. 
  

	11.	 	Meetings of Noteholders, Modification, Waiver and Substitution 

  

	(a)	 	Meetings of Noteholders 

  
 The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of Noteholders to consider matters affecting their interests, including the modification of any of the terms and
conditions of the Notes or any provisions of the Trust Deed. Any such modification may be made if sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution (which as provided in the Trust Deed may be passed by written resolution by or on behalf of the holders of
not less than 75 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes, as well as at a meeting of Noteholders). The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary Resolution will be one or more persons holding or representing a clear majority in
principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting, one or more persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the principal amount of the Notes held or represented, unless the business of such meeting
includes consideration of proposals, inter alia (i) to postpone the maturity or redemption of the Notes, any Instalment Date or any date for payment of any interest or Interest Amount on the Notes, (ii) to reduce or cancel the principal amount of,
or any Instalment Amount of, or any premium payable on redemption of, the Notes, (iii) to reduce the rate or rates of interest in respect of the Notes or to vary the method or basis of calculating the rate or rates or amount of interest or the basis
for calculating any Interest Amount in respect of the Notes, (iv) if a Minimum and/or a Maximum Interest Rate, Instalment Amount or Redemption Amount is shown hereon, to reduce any such Minimum and/or Maximum, (v) to vary any method of, or basis
for, calculating the Redemption Amount, including the method of calculating the Amortised Face Amount, (vi) to vary the currency or currencies of payment or denomination of the Notes, (vii) to take any steps that as specified hereon may only be
taken following approval by an Extraordinary Resolution to which the special quorum provisions apply, or (viii) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of Noteholders or the majority required to pass the Extraordinary
Resolution, in which case the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding or representing not less than two-thirds, or at any adjourned meeting not less than one-third, in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. Any
Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on Noteholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed) and on all Couponholders. 
  
 These Conditions may be amended, modified or varied in relation to any Series of Notes by the terms of the relevant Pricing Supplement in
relation to such Series. 
  

	(b)	 	Modification of the Trust Deed 

  
 The Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, to (i) any modification of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Notes or the
Coupons that is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error, and (ii) any other modification (except as mentioned in the Trust Deed), and any waiver or authorisation of any 

  

 71 








 
breach or proposed breach, of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed that is in the opinion of the Trustee not materially prejudicial to the interests of
the Noteholders. Any such modification, authorisation or waiver shall be binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and, if the Trustee so requires, such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders as soon as practicable. 
  

	(c)	 	Substitution 

  
 The Trust Deed contains provisions permitting the Trustee to agree, subject to such amendment of the Trust Deed and such other conditions as the Trustee may require, but without the consent of the Noteholders or the
Couponholders, to the substitution of any other company in place of the Issuer, or of any previous substituted company, as principal debtor under the Trust Deed and the Notes. In the case of such a substitution the Trustee may agree, without the
consent of the Noteholders or the Couponholders, to a change of the law governing the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons, the Talons and/or the Trust Deed provided that such change would not in the opinion of the Trustee be materially prejudicial to
the interests of the Noteholders. 
  

	(d)	 	Entitlement of the Trustee 

  
 In connection with the exercise of its functions (including but not limited to those referred to in this Condition) the Trustee shall have regard to the interests of the
Noteholders as a class and shall not have regard to the consequences of such exercise for individual Noteholders or Couponholders and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder or Couponholder be entitled to claim, from
the Issuer any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders or Couponholders. 
  

	12.	 	Replacement of Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons and Talons 

  
 If a Note, Certificate, Receipt, Coupon or Talon is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced, subject to applicable laws, regulations and stock
exchange or other applicable authority regulations, at the specified office of the Issuing and Paying Agent (in the case of Bearer Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons) and of the Registrar (in the case of Certificates) or such other Paying Agent or
Transfer Agent, as the case may be, as may from time to time be designated by the Issuer for the purpose and notice of whose designation is given to Noteholders, in each case on payment by the claimant of the fees and costs incurred in connection
therewith and on such terms as to evidence, security and indemnity (which may provide, inter alia, that if the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Note, Certificate, Receipt, Coupon or Talon is subsequently presented for payment or, as the case may
be, for exchange for further Coupons, there shall be paid to the Issuer on demand the amount payable by the Issuer in respect of such Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons or further Coupons) and otherwise as the Issuer may reasonably require.
Mutilated or defaced Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Coupons or Talons must be surrendered before replacements will be issued. 
  

	13.	 	Further Issues 

  
 The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects
except for the first payment of interest on them) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding securities of any series (including the Notes) or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the
time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Notes include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single series with the Notes. Any further securities forming a
single series with the outstanding securities of any series (including the Notes) constituted by the Trust Deed or any deed supplemental to it shall, and any other securities may (with the consent of the Trustee), be constituted by the Trust Deed.
The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening a single meeting of the Noteholders and the holders of securities of other series where the Trustee so decides. 
  


 72 









	14.	 	Enforcement 

  
 At any time after the Notes become due and payable, the Trustee may, at its discretion and without further notice, institute such proceedings against the Issuer as it may think fit to enforce the terms of the Trust
Deed, but it need not take any such proceedings unless (a) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution or so requested in writing by holders of at least one-fifth in principal amount of the Notes outstanding, and (b) it shall have
been indemnified to its satisfaction. No Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder may proceed directly against the Issuer unless the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed fails to do so within a reasonable time and such failure is continuing.

  

	15.	 	Indemnification of the Trustee 

  
 The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility. The Trustee is entitled to enter into business
transactions with the Issuer and any entity related to the Issuer without accounting for any profit. 
  

	16.	 	Notices 

  
 Notices to the holders of Registered Notes shall be mailed to them at their respective addresses in the Register and deemed to have been given on the fourth weekday (being a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday)
after the date of mailing. Notices to the holders of Bearer Notes shall be valid if published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the United Kingdom (which is expected to be the Financial Times). The Issuer shall also ensure that notices
are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any other stock exchange on which the Notes are, for the time being, listed or other applicable authority to which it is subject. Any such notice shall be deemed to have
been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once or on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made, as provided above. 
  
 Couponholders shall be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to the holders of Bearer Notes in
accordance with this Condition. 
  

	17.	 	Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 

  
 No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Talons under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act
1999. 
  

	18.	 	Governing Law and Jurisdiction 

  

	(a)	 	Governing Law 

  
 The Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Talons are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law. 
  

	(b)	 	Jurisdiction 

  
 The courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or in connection with any Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of
or in connection with any Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons (“Proceedings”) may be brought in such courts. The Issuer has in the Trust Deed irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of such courts. 
  

	(c)	 	Service of Process 

  
 [The Issuer, in accordance with the Trust Deed, will appoint its London office, whose address is 5th Floor, 30 Cannon Street, London EC4M 6XH to act as its agent in England to receive, for it and on its behalf,
service of process in any Proceedings in England.] 
  
 * [The Issuer, in
accordance with the Trust Deed, will procure the appointment of Scottish Power plc’s London office, whose address is 5th Floor, 30 Cannon Street, London EC4M 6XH to act as its agent in England to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of
process in any Proceedings in England.]

by the Trustee. 

  

	4	 	At least 21 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day of the meeting) shall be given to the Noteholders. A copy of the notice shall
be given by the party convening the meeting to the other parties. The notice shall specify the day, time and place of meeting and, unless the Trustee otherwise agrees, the nature of the resolutions to be proposed and shall explain how Noteholders

	6.1	 	be a document in the English language 

  

	6.2	 	be dated 

  

	6.3	 	specify the meeting concerned and the serial numbers of the Notes deposited and

	7.1	 	the meeting has been concluded or 

  

	7.2	 	the voting certificate has been surrendered to the Paying Agent.

direct the Paying Agent how those votes are to be cast. The Paying Agent shall issue a block voting instruction in respect of the votes attributable to all Notes so deposited. 

  

	9	 	A block voting instruction shall: 

  

	9.1	 	be a document in the English language

	9.6	 	appoint a named person (a “proxy”) to vote at that meeting in respect of those Notes and in accordance with that list. 

  
 A proxy need not be a Noteholder. 
  

	10	 	Once a Paying Agent has issued a block voting instruction for a meeting in respect of the votes attributable to any Notes: 

  

	10.1	 	it shall not release the Notes, except as provided in paragraph 11, until the meeting has been concluded and 

  

	10.2	 	the directions to which it gives effect may not be revoked or altered during the 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting. 

  

	11	 	If the receipt for a Note deposited with a Paying Agent in accordance with paragraph 8 is surrendered to the Paying Agent at least 48 hours before the time fixed for the
meeting, the Paying Agent shall release the Note and exclude the votes attributable to it from the block voting instruction. 

  

	12	 	Each block voting instruction shall be deposited at least 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting at such place as the Trustee shall designate or approve, and in
default it shall not be valid unless the chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before the meeting proceeds to business. If the Trustee requires, a notarially certified copy of each block voting instruction shall be produced by the proxy at the
meeting but the Trustee need not investigate or be concerned with the validity of the proxy’s appointment. 

  

	13	 	 A vote cast in accordance with a block voting instruction shall be valid even if it or any of the Noteholders’ instructions pursuant to which it was
executed has previously been 



  

 81 









	  	 	revoked or amended, unless written intimation of such revocation or amendment is received from the relevant Paying Agent by the Relevant Issuer or the Trustee at its registered
office or by the chairman of the meeting in each case at least 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting.

behalf of the holder and delivered to the Transfer Agent at least 24 hours before the time fixed for a meeting, appoint any person (a “proxy”) to act on his behalf in connection with that meeting. A proxy need not be a Noteholder.


  

	15.2	 	A corporation which holds a Registered Note may by delivering to a Transfer Agent at least 24 hours before the time fixed for a meeting a certified copy of a resolution of
its directors or other governing body (with, if it is not in English, a certified translation into English) authorise any person to act as its representative (a “representative”) in connection with that meeting.


  
 Chairman 
  

	16	 	The chairman of a meeting shall be such person as the Trustee may nominate in writing, but if no such nomination is made or if the person nominated is not present within 15
minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Noteholders or agents present shall choose one of their number to be chairman, failing which the Relevant Issuer may appoint a chairman. The chairman need not be a Noteholder or agent. The chairman of
an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as the chairman of the original meeting.

	17.1	 	Noteholders and agents

	17.4	 	the Dealers and their advisers. 

  
 No-one else may attend or speak. 
  
 Quorum and Adjournment 
  

	18	 	No business (except choosing a chairman) shall be transacted at a meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. If a quorum is not present within 15
minutes from the time initially fixed for the meeting, it shall, if convened on the requisition of Noteholders or if the Relevant Issuer and the Trustee agree, be dissolved. In any other case it shall be adjourned until such date, not less than 14
nor more than 42 days later, and time and place as the chairman may decide. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for a meeting so adjourned, the meeting shall be dissolved. 

  

	19	 	One or more Noteholders or agents present in person shall be a quorum: 

  

 82 









	19.1	 	in the cases marked “No minimum proportion” in the table below, whatever the proportion of the Notes which they represent 

  

	19.2	 	in any other case, only if they represent the proportion of the Notes shown by the table below.

	20	 	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. 

  

	21	 	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 Relevant 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. 

  

 83 









	26	 	On a show of hands every person who is present in person and who produces a Bearer Note, a Certificate of which he is the registered holder or a voting certificate or is a
proxy or representative has one vote. On a poll every such person has one vote in respect of each principal amount equal to the minimum denomination of such Series 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 Relevant 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. 

  

	31	 	The holder of a Global Note or Global Certificate shall (unless such Global Note or Global Certificate represents only one Note) be treated as 2 persons for the purposes of
any quorum requirements of a meeting of Noteholders. 

  

	32	 	The foregoing provisions of this Schedule shall have effect subject to the following provisions: 

  

	32.1	 	Meetings of Noteholders of separate Series will normally be held separately. However, the Trustee may from time to time determine that meetings of Noteholders of separate
Series shall be held together 

  

	32.2	 	A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects one Series alone shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a separate meeting of the Noteholders of the
Series concerned 

  

 84 









	32.3	 	A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Noteholders of more than one Series but does not give rise to a conflict of interest between the Noteholders of
the different Series concerned shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a single meeting of the Noteholders of the relevant Series provided that for the purposes of determining the votes a Noteholder is entitled to cast pursuant to
paragraph 26, each Noteholder shall have one vote in respect of each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes held, converted, if such Notes are not denominated in U.S. dollars, in accordance with sub-Clause 8.12 

  

	32.4	 	A resolution that in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Noteholders of more than one Series and gives or may give rise to a conflict of interest between the Noteholders
of the different Series concerned shall be deemed to have been duly passed only if it shall be duly passed at separate meetings of the Noteholders of the relevant Series 

  

	32.5	 	To all such meetings as aforesaid all the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply as though references therein to Notes and to Noteholders were
references to the Notes and Noteholders of the Series concerned.
