            Global Note in accordance with the terms thereof. Forthwith upon
            determining the Exchange Date in respect of any Tranche, the Agent

                  Clearstream, Luxembourg either in exchange for such Temporary
                  Global Note or, in the case of a partial exchange, on entering
                  details of such partial exchange of the Temporary Global Note
                  in the relevant spaces in Schedule 2 of both the Temporary
                  Global Note and the Permanent Global Note; and

            (iv)  in any other case, by attaching a copy of the applicable
                  Pricing Supplement to the Permanent Global Note applicable to
                  the relevant Series and entering details of any exchange in
                  whole or part as aforesaid.

4.2   (a)   In the case of a Tranche in respect of which there is only one
            Dealer, the Agent will determine the end of the Distribution
            Compliance Period in respect of such Tranche as being the fortieth
            day (or such later day as may be specified in the applicable


                                       9
<PAGE>
            Pricing Supplement) following the date certified by the relevant
            Dealer to the Agent as being the date as of which distribution of
            the Notes of that Tranche was completed.

      (b)   In the case of a Tranche in respect of which there is more than one
            Dealer but is not issued on a syndicated basis, the Agent will
            determine the end of the Distribution Compliance Period in respect
            of such Tranche as being the fortieth day (or such later day as may
            be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement) following the
            latest of the dates certified by all the relevant Dealers to the
            Agent as being the respective dates as of which distribution of the
            Notes of that Tranche purchased by each such Dealer was completed.

      (c)   In the case of a Tranche issued on a syndicated basis, the Agent
            will determine the end of the Distribution Compliance Period in
            respect of such Tranche as being the fortieth day (or such later day
            as may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement) following
            the date certified by the Lead Manager to the Agent as being the
            date as of which distribution of the Notes of that Tranche was
            completed.

      (d)   Forthwith upon determining the end of the Distribution Compliance
            Period in respect of any Tranche, the Agent shall notify such
            determination to the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, Euroclear,
            Clearstream, Luxembourg, the relevant Dealer(s) (in the case of a
            non-syndicated issue) and the Lead Manager (in the case of a
            syndicated issue).

5.    ISSUE OF DEFINITIVE NOTES

5.1   Upon notice from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg pursuant to the
      terms of a Temporary Global Note or a Permanent Global Note, as the case
      may be, the Agent shall deliver the relevant Definitive Note(s) in
      accordance with the terms of the relevant Global Note. For this purpose
      the Agent is hereby authorised on behalf of the relevant Issuer:

      (a)   to authenticate such Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the
            provisions of this Agreement; and

      (b)   to deliver such Definitive Note(s) to or to the order of Euroclear
            and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg either in exchange for such Global
            Note or, in the case of a partial exchange of a Temporary Global
            Note, on entering details of any partial exchange of the Temporary
            Global Note in the relevant space in Schedule 2 of such Temporary
            Global Note.

      The Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer forthwith upon receipt of a
      request for issue of Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the provisions
      of a Temporary Global Note or Permanent Global Note, as the case may be,
      (and the aggregate nominal amount of such Temporary Global Note or
      Permanent Global Note, as the case may be, to be exchanged in connection
      therewith).

5.2   Each Issuer undertakes to deliver to the Agent sufficient numbers of
      executed Definitive Notes with, if applicable, Receipts, Coupons and
      Talons attached to enable the Agent to comply with its obligations under
      this clause.

6.    TERMS OF ISSUE

6.1   The Agent shall cause all Temporary Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes
      and Definitive Notes delivered to and held by it under this Agreement to
      be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that such Notes are issued
      only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the relevant
      Global Note and Conditions.


                                       10
<PAGE>
6.2   Subject to the procedures set out in the Procedures Memorandum, for the
      purposes of subclause 3.1 the Agent is entitled to treat a telephone or
      facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Agent
      believes in good faith to be) the authorised representative of any Issuer
      and/or the Guarantor named in the lists referred to in, or notified
      pursuant to, subclause 19.7 as sufficient instructions and authority of
      such Issuer and/or the Guarantor for the Agent to act in accordance with
      subclause 3.1.

6.3   In the event that a person who has signed on behalf of any Issuer any Note
      not yet issued but held by the Agent in accordance with subclause 3.1
      ceases to be authorised as described in subclause 19.7, the Agent shall
      (unless the relevant Issuer gives notice to the Agent that Notes signed by
      that person do not constitute valid and binding obligations of the
      relevant Issuer or otherwise until replacements have been provided to the
      Agent) continue to have authority to issue any such Notes, and the
      relevant Issuer hereby warrants to the Agent that such Notes shall, unless
      notified as aforesaid, be valid and binding obligations of such Issuer.
      Promptly upon such person ceasing to be authorised, the relevant Issuer
      shall provide the Agent with replacement Notes and upon receipt of such
      replacement Notes the Agent shall cancel and destroy the Notes held by it
      which are signed by such person and shall provide to the relevant Issuer a
      confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying the Notes so
      cancelled and destroyed.

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

6.5   Except in the case of issues where the Agent does not act as receiving
      bank for the relevant Issuer in respect of the purchase price of the Notes
      being issued, if on the relevant Issue Date a Dealer does not pay the full
      purchase price due from it in respect of any Note (the DEFAULTED NOTE)
      and, as a result, the Defaulted Note remains in the Agent's distribution
      account with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg after such Issue
      Date, the Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of
      the relevant Issuer. The Agent shall notify the relevant Issuer forthwith
      of the failure of the Dealer to pay the full purchase price due from it in
      respect of any Defaulted Note and, subsequently, shall notify the relevant
      Issuer forthwith upon receipt from the Dealer of the full purchase price
      in respect of such Defaulted Note.

7.    PAYMENTS

7.1   The Issuer (failing which the Guarantor) will, before 10.00 a.m. (local
      time in the relevant financial centre of the payment), on each date on
      which any payment in respect of any Note becomes due, transfer to an
      account specified by the Agent such amount in the relevant currency as
      shall be sufficient for the purposes of such payment in funds settled
      through such payment system as the Agent and the relevant Issuer or, as
      the case may be, the Guarantor may agree.

7.2   The Issuer (failing which the Guarantor) will ensure that no later than
      10.00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day (as defined below)
      immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the
      Agent pursuant to subclause 7.1, the Agent shall


                                       11
<PAGE>
      receive from the paying bank of the Issuer or, as the case may be, the
      Guarantor a payment confirmation in the form of a SWIFT message.

      For the purposes of this clause BUSINESS DAY means a day which is both:

      (a)   day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle
            payments in London and any other place specified in the applicable
            Pricing Supplement as an Additional Business Centre; and

      (b)   either (i) in relation to a payment to be made in a Specified
            Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and
            foreign exchange markets settle payments in the principal financial
            centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other
            than London and any Additional Business Centre) and which, if the
            Specified Currency is New Zealand Dollars, shall be Auckland or (ii)
            in relation to a payment to be made in euro, a day on which the
            TARGET System is open, where TARGET SYSTEM means the Trans-European
            Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET)
            System. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing
            Supplement, the principal financial centre for any currency shall be
            as provided in the ISDA Definitions.

7.3   The Agent shall ensure that payments of both principal and interest in
      respect of a Temporary Global Note will be made only to the extent that
      certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S.
      securities laws and U.S. Treasury regulations (in the form set out in the
      Temporary Global Note) has been received from Euroclear and/or
      Clearstream, Luxembourg in accordance with the terms thereof.

7.4   The Agent or the relevant Paying Agent shall pay or cause to be paid all
      amounts due in respect of the Notes on behalf of each Issuer and the
      Guarantor in the manner provided in the Conditions. If any payment
      provided for in subclause 7.1 is made late but otherwise in accordance
      with the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and each Paying Agent
      shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes as aforesaid
      following receipt by it of such payment.

7.5   If for any reason the Agent considers in its sole discretion that the
      amounts to be received by the Agent pursuant to subclause 7.1 will be, or
      the amounts actually received by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient to
      satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then falling due in respect
      of the Notes, neither the Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be obliged to
      pay any such claims until the Agent has received the full amount of all
      such payments.

7.6   Without prejudice to subclauses 7.4 and 7.5, if the Agent pays any amounts
      to the holders of Notes, Receipts or Coupons or to any Paying Agent at a
      time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant
      Notes in accordance with subclause 7.1 (the excess of the amounts so paid
      over the amounts so received being the SHORTFALL), the relevant Issuer
      (failing which the Guarantor) will, in addition to paying amounts due
      under subclause 7.1, pay to the Agent on demand interest (at a rate which
      represents the Agent's cost of funding the Shortfall as evidenced to the
      relevant Issuer and the Guarantor by the provision of details of the
      calculation of the cost of funding) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed
      portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Agent of the Shortfall.

7.7   The Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for
      payments in respect of Notes properly made by such Paying Agent in
      accordance with this Agreement and the Conditions unless the Agent has
      notified the Paying Agent, prior to the opening of business in the
      location of the office of the Paying Agent through which payment in
      respect of the Notes can be made on the due date of a payment in respect
      of the Notes, that the Agent does not


                                       12
<PAGE>
      expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts falling
      due in respect of such Notes.

7.8   Whilst any Notes are represented by Global Notes, all payments due in
      respect of such Notes shall be made to, or to the order of, the holder of
      the Global Notes, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the
      Global Notes. On the occasion of any such payment the Paying Agent to
      which the Global Note was presented for the purpose of making such payment
      shall cause the appropriate Schedule to the relevant Global Note to be
      annotated so as to evidence the amounts and dates of such payments of
      principal and/or interest as applicable.

7.9   If the amount of principal and/or interest then due for payment is not
      paid in full (otherwise than by reason of a deduction required by law to
      be made therefrom), the Paying Agent to which a Note is presented for the
      purpose of making such payment shall make a record of such Shortfall on
      the Note and such record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima
      facie evidence that the payment in question has not to that extent been
      made.

7.10  The obligations of the Guarantor as set forth in this Clause 7 shall be
      based on the Guarantee only and not be deemed to be primary obligations of
      the Guarantor.

8.    DETERMINATIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS IN RESPECT OF NOTES AND INTEREST
      DETERMINATION

8.1   DETERMINATIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS

(a)   The Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations (howsoever
      described) as it is required to do under the Conditions, all subject to
      and in accordance with the Conditions.

(b)   The Agent shall not be responsible to any Issuer, the Guarantor or to any
      third party (except in the event of negligence, default or bad faith of
      the Agent, as the case may be) as a result of the Agent having acted on
      any quotation given by any Reference Bank which subsequently may be found
      to be incorrect.

(c)   The Agent shall promptly notify (and confirm in writing to) the relevant
      Issuer, the Guarantor, the other Paying Agents and (in respect of a Series
      of Notes listed on a Stock Exchange) the relevant Stock Exchange and
      Listing Agent of, inter alia, each Rate of Interest, Interest Amount and
      Interest Payment Date and all other amounts, rates and dates which it is
      obliged to determine or calculate under the Conditions as soon as
      practicable after the determination thereof and of any subsequent
      amendment thereto pursuant to the Conditions.

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

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

(f)   Determinations with regard to Notes (including, without limitation,
      Indexed Notes and Dual Currency Notes) shall be made by the
      Calculation Agent specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement in
      the manner specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.  Unless
      otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor and the
      relevant Dealer or unless the Agent


                                       13
<PAGE>
      is the Calculation Agent (in which case the provisions of this Agreement
      shall apply), such determinations shall be made on the basis of a
      Calculation Agency Agreement substantially in the form of Appendix A to
      this Agreement.

8.2   INTEREST DETERMINATION, SCREEN RATE DETERMINATION INCLUDING FALLBACK
      PROVISIONS

(a)   Where Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing
      Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be
      determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will, subject as
      provided below, be either:

      (i)   the offered quotation; or

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

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

(b)   If the Relevant Screen Page is not available or, if in the case of
      subclause 8.2(a)(i) above, no such offered quotation appears or, in the
      case of subclause 8.2(a)(ii) above, fewer than three such offered
      quotations appear, in each case as at the time specified in the preceding
      paragraph the Agent shall request the principal London office (in the case
      of LIBOR) or Euro-zone office (in the case of EURIBOR) of each of the
      Reference Banks to provide the Agent with its offered quotation (expressed
      as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate at approximately
      11.00 a.m. (London time, in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time, in the
      case of EURIBOR) on the Interest Determination Date in question. If two or
      more of the Reference Banks provide the Agent with such offered
      quotations, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be the
      arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place with
      0.000005 being rounded upwards) of such offered quotations plus or minus
      (as appropriate) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Agent.

(c)   If on any Interest Determination Date one only or none of the Reference
      Banks provides the Agent with such offered quotations as provided in the
      preceding paragraph, the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period
      shall be the rate per annum which the Agent determines as being the
      arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with
      0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates, as communicated to (and at
      the request of) the Agent by the Reference Banks or any two or more of
      them, at which such banks were offered, at approximately 11.00 a.m.
      (London time, in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time, in the case of
      EURIBOR) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, deposits in the
      Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used
      for the Reference Rate by leading banks in the London inter-bank market
      (in the case of LIBOR) or the Euro-zone inter-bank market (in the case of
      EURIBOR) plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any) or, if fewer
      than two of the Reference Banks provide the Agent with such offered rates,
      the offered rate for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal
      to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, or the
      arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of the


                                       14
<PAGE>
      offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to
      that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, at which, at
      approximately 11.00 a.m. (London time, in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels
      time, in the case of EURIBOR) on the relevant Interest Determination Date,
      any one or more banks (which bank or banks is or are in the opinion of the
      relevant Issuer suitable for such purpose) informs the Agent it is quoting
      to leading banks in the London inter-bank market (in the case of LIBOR) or
      the Euro-zone inter-bank market (in the case of EURIBOR) plus or minus (as
      appropriate) the Margin (if any), provided that, if the Rate of Interest
      cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
      paragraph, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last
      preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a
      different Margin is to be applied to the relevant Interest Period from
      that which applied to the last preceding Interest Period, the Margin
      relating to the relevant Interest Period, in place of the Margin relating
      to that last preceding Interest Period).

(d)   If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes
      is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being other than
      LIBOR or, as the case may be, EURIBOR, the Rate of Interest in respect of
      such Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing
      Supplement.

9.    NOTICE OF ANY WITHHOLDING OR DEDUCTION

      If any Issuer and/or the Guarantor is, in respect of any payment,
      compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes,
      duties, assessments or governmental charges as specifically contemplated
      under the Conditions, such Issuer and/or the Guarantor shall give notice
      thereof to the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to
      make such withholding or deduction and shall give to the Agent such
      information as it shall require to enable it to comply with such
      requirement.

10.   DUTIES OF THE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH EARLY REDEMPTION

10.1  If any Issuer decides to redeem any Notes for the time being
      outstanding prior to their Maturity Date in accordance with the
      Conditions, such Issuer shall give notice of such decision to the Agent
      not less than 15 days before the date on which the relevant Issuer will
      give notice to the Noteholders in accordance with the Conditions of such
      redemption in order to enable the Agent to undertake its obligations
      herein and in the Conditions.

10.2  If some only of the Notes are to be redeemed on such date, the Agent
      shall, in the case of Definitive Notes, make the required drawing in
      accordance with the Conditions but shall give the relevant Issuer
      reasonable notice of the time and place proposed for such drawing and the
      relevant Issuer shall be entitled to send representatives to attend such
      drawing and shall, in the case of Notes in global form, co-ordinate the
      selection of Notes to be redeemed with Euroclear and Clearstream,
      Luxembourg, all in accordance with the Conditions.

10.3  The Agent shall publish the notice required in connection with any such
      redemption and shall at the same time also publish a separate list of the
      serial numbers of any Notes in definitive form previously drawn and not
      presented for redemption. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for
      redemption, the redemption amount, the manner in which redemption will be
      effected and, in the case of a partial redemption of Definitive Notes, the
      serial numbers of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice will be published
      in accordance with the Conditions. The Agent will also notify the other
      Paying Agents of any date fixed for redemption of any Notes.

10.4  Each Paying Agent will keep a stock of Put Notices and will make such
      notices available on demand to holders of Definitive Notes, the Conditions
      of which provide for redemption at the option of Noteholders. Upon receipt
      of any Note deposited in the exercise of such option in


                                       15
<PAGE>
      accordance with the Conditions, the Paying Agent with which such Note is
      deposited shall hold such Note (together with any Receipts, Coupons and
      Talons relating to it deposited with it) on behalf of the depositing
      Noteholder (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until the
      due date for redemption of the relevant Note consequent upon the exercise
      of such option, when, subject as provided below, it shall present such
      Note (and any such Receipts, Coupons and Talons) to itself for payment of
      the amount due thereon together with any interest due on such date in
      accordance with the Conditions and shall pay such moneys in accordance
      with the directions of the Noteholder contained in the relevant Put
      Notice. If, prior to such due date for its redemption, such Note becomes
      immediately due and repayable or if upon due presentation payment of such
      redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent
      concerned shall post such Note (together with any such Receipts, Coupons
      and Talons) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant
      Noteholder unless the Noteholder has otherwise requested and paid the
      costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of
      depositing the Notes at such address as may have been given by the
      Noteholder in the relevant Put Notice. At the end of each period for the
      exercise of such option, each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Agent
      of the principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such option has
      been exercised with it together with their serial numbers and the Agent
      shall promptly notify such details to the relevant Issuer.

11.   RECEIPT AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICES

11.1  Forthwith upon the receipt by the Agent of a demand or notice from any
      Noteholder in accordance with the Conditions the Agent shall forward a
      copy thereof to the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor.

11.2  On behalf of and at the request and expense of each Issuer (failing which
      the Guarantor), the Agent shall cause to be published all notices required
      to be given by any Issuer or the Guarantor to the Noteholders in
      accordance with the Conditions.

12.   CANCELLATION OF NOTES, RECEIPTS, COUPONS AND TALONS

12.1  All Notes which are redeemed, all Receipts or Coupons which are paid
      and all Talons which are exchanged shall be cancelled by the Agent or
      Paying Agent by which they are redeemed, paid or exchanged. In addition,
      all Notes which are purchased by or on behalf of any Issuer, the Guarantor
      or any of their respective subsidiaries and are surrendered to a Paying
      Agent for cancellation, together (in the case of Definitive Notes) with
      all unmatured Receipts, Coupons or Talons (if any) attached thereto or
      surrendered therewith, shall be cancelled by the Paying Agent to which
      they are surrendered. Each of the other Paying Agents shall give to the
      Agent details of all payments made by it and shall deliver all cancelled
      Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons to the Agent.

12.2  A certificate stating:

      (a)   the aggregate nominal amount of Notes which have been redeemed and
            the aggregate amount paid in respect thereof;

      (b)   the number of Notes cancelled together (in the case of Notes in
            definitive form) with details of all unmatured Receipts, Coupons or
            Talons (if any) attached thereto or delivered therewith;

      (c)   the aggregate amount paid in respect of interest on the Notes;

      (d)   the total number by maturity date of Receipts, Coupons and Talons so
            cancelled; and


                                       16
<PAGE>
      (e)   (in the case of Definitive Notes) the serial numbers of such Notes,

      shall be given to the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor by the Agent as
      soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within three months after
      the date of such repayment, payment, cancellation or replacement, as the
      case may be.

12.3  The Agent shall destroy all cancelled Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons
      and, forthwith upon destruction, furnish the Issuer with a certificate of
      the serial numbers of the Notes (in the case of Notes in definitive form)
      and the number by maturity date of Receipts, Coupons and Talons so
      destroyed.

12.4  Without prejudice to the obligations of the Agent pursuant to subclause
      12.2, the Agent shall keep a full and complete record of all Notes,
      Receipts, Coupons and Talons (other than serial numbers of Coupons, except
      those which have been replaced pursuant to Condition 10) and of their
      redemption, purchase by or on behalf of any Issuer or the Guarantor or any
      of their respective subsidiaries and cancellation, payment or replacement
      (as the case may be) and of all replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons or
      Talons issued in substitution for mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
      stolen Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons. The Agent shall in respect of
      the Coupons of each maturity retain (in the case of Coupons other than
      Talons) until the expiry of ten years from the Relevant Date in respect of
      such Coupons and (in the case of Talons) indefinitely either all paid or
      exchanged Coupons of that maturity or a list of the serial numbers of
      Coupons of that maturity still remaining unpaid or unexchanged. The Agent
      shall at all reasonable times make such record available to the relevant
      Issuer, the Guarantor and any persons authorised by either of them for
      inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

12.5  All records and certificates made or given pursuant to this clause and
      Clause 13 shall make a distinction between Notes, Receipts, Coupons and
      Talons of each Series.

13.   ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT NOTES, RECEIPTS, COUPONS AND TALONS

13.1  Each Issuer will cause a sufficient quantity of additional forms of
      Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons to be available, upon request, to the
      Replacement Agent at its specified office for the purpose of issuing
      replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons as provided below.

13.2  The Replacement Agent will, subject to and in accordance with the
      Conditions and the following provisions of this clause, cause to be
      delivered any replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons which any
      Issuer may determine to issue in place of Notes, Receipts, Coupons and
      Talons which have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed.

13.3  In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the Replacement Agent shall
      ensure that (unless otherwise covered by such indemnity as the relevant
      Issuer may reasonably require) any replacement Note will only have
      attached to it Receipts, Coupons and Talons corresponding to those (if
      any) attached to the mutilated or defaced Note which is presented for
      replacement.

13.4  The Replacement Agent shall obtain verification in the case of an
      allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon in
      respect of which the serial number is known, that the Note, Receipt,
      Coupon or Talon has not previously been redeemed, paid or exchanged, as
      the case may be. The Replacement Agent shall not issue any replacement
      Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon unless and until the claimant therefor
      shall have:

      (a)   paid such reasonable costs and expenses as may be incurred in
            connection therewith;


                                       17
<PAGE>
      (b)   furnished it with such evidence (including evidence as to the serial
            number of such Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon) and indemnity (which
            may include a bank guarantee) as the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor
            and the Agent may reasonably require;

      (c)   in the case of any mutilated or defaced Note, Receipt, Coupon or
            Talon, surrendered it to the Replacement Agent.

13.5  The Replacement Agent shall cancel any mutilated or defaced Notes,
      Receipts, Coupons and Talons in respect of which replacement Notes,
      Receipts, Coupons and Talons have been issued pursuant to this clause and
      shall furnish the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor with a certificate
      stating the serial numbers of the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons so
      cancelled and, unless otherwise instructed by the relevant Issuer in
      writing, shall destroy such cancelled Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons
      and furnish the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor with a destruction
      certificate containing the information specified in subclause 12.3.

13.6  The Replacement Agent shall, on issuing any replacement Note, Receipt,
      Coupon or Talon, forthwith inform the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, the
      Agent and the other Paying Agents of the serial number of such replacement
      Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon issued and (if known) of the serial number
      of the Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon in place of which such replacement
      Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon has been issued. Whenever replacement
      Receipts, Coupons or Talons are issued pursuant to the provisions of this
      clause, the Replacement Agent shall also notify the Agent and any other
      Paying Agents of the maturity dates of the lost, stolen, mutilated,
      defaced or destroyed Receipts, Coupons or Talons and of the replacement
      Receipts, Coupons or Talons issued.

13.7  The Agent shall keep a full and complete record of all replacement Notes,
      Receipts, Coupons and Talons issued and shall make such record available
      at all reasonable times to the Issuers, the Guarantor and any persons
      authorised by either of them for inspection and for the taking of copies
      thereof or extracts therefrom.

13.8  Whenever any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon for which a replacement Note,
      Receipt, Coupon or Talon has been issued and in respect of which the
      serial number is known is presented to the Agent or any of the other
      Paying Agents for payment, the Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant
      other Paying Agent shall immediately send notice thereof to the relevant
      Issuer, the Guarantor and the other Paying Agents.

13.9  The Paying Agents shall issue further Coupon sheets against surrender of
      Talons. A Talon so surrendered shall be cancelled by the relevant Paying
      Agent who (except where the Paying Agent is the Agent) shall inform the
      Agent of its serial number. Further Coupon sheets issued on surrender of
      Talons shall carry the same serial number as the surrendered Talon.

14.   COPIES OF DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

14.1  The executed Guarantee shall be deposited with the Agent and shall be held
      in safe custody by it on behalf of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and
      the Couponholders at its specified office for the time being.

14.2  Each Paying Agent shall hold available for inspection at its specified
      office during normal business hours copies of all documents required to be
      so available by the Conditions of any Notes or the rules of any relevant
      Stock Exchange (or any other relevant authority). For these above
      purposes, each Issuer and the Guarantor shall furnish the Paying Agents
      with sufficient copies of each of the relevant documents.


                                       18
<PAGE>
15.   MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS

15.1  The provisions of Schedule 4 hereto shall apply to meetings of the
      Noteholders and shall have effect in the same manner as if set out in this
      Agreement.

15.2  Without prejudice to subclause 15.1, each of the Agent and the other
      Paying Agents on the request of any Noteholder shall issue voting
      certificates and block voting instructions in accordance with Schedule 4
      and shall forthwith give notice to the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor
      in writing of any revocation or amendment of a block voting instruction.
      Each of the Agent and the other Paying Agents will keep a full and
      complete record of all voting certificates and block voting instructions
      issued by it and will, not less than 24 hours before the time appointed
      for holding a meeting or adjourned meeting, deposit at such place as the
      Agent shall designate or approve, full particulars of all voting
      certificates and block voting instructions issued by it in respect of such
      meeting or adjourned meeting.

16.   COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES

16.1  The Issuers and the Guarantor agree to pay to the Agent such reasonable
      fees and commissions as the Issuers and the Guarantor and the Agent shall
      separately agree in respect of the services of the Agent and the Paying
      Agents hereunder and to reimburse any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      (including reasonable legal, printing, postage tax and cable) incurred by
      the Agent and the Paying Agents in connection with their said services
      including the expense of making such notifications and publications to
      Noteholders as are required by the Terms and Conditions of any Notes or as
      may be required by any Issuer.

16.2  In addition, the Issuers and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree
      with the Agent to reimburse its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      (including legal fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
      preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

16.3  The Agent will make payment of the fees and commissions due hereunder to
      the Paying Agents and will reimburse their expenses promptly after the
      receipt of the relevant moneys from an Issuer or the Guarantor, as the
      case may be. None of the Issuers or the Guarantor shall be responsible for
      any such payment or reimbursement by the Agent to the Paying Agents.

17.   INDEMNITY

17.1  Each Issuer will, severally as to itself, and the Guarantor will, jointly
      with the relevant Issuer and severally as to itself, indemnify the Agent
      and each of the Paying Agents and each of their directors, officers,
      employees and agents against any losses, liabilities, claims, actions or
      demands and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including,
      but not limited to, all reasonable costs, charges and expenses paid or
      incurred in disputing or defending any of the foregoing) which it may
      incur or which may be made against the Agent or any Paying Agent as a
      result of or in connection with its appointment or the exercise of its
      powers and duties hereunder except such as may result from its own
      default, negligence or bad faith or that of its officers, directors,
      employees or agents or the breach by it of the terms of this Agreement.

17.2  Each of the Agent and the Paying Agents will severally indemnify each of
      the Issuers and the Guarantor and each of their directors, officers,
      employees and agents against any loss, liability, claim, action or demand
      and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not
      limited to, all reasonable costs, legal fees, charges and expenses paid or
      incurred in disputing or defending any of the foregoing) which the
      relevant company may incur or which may be made against the relevant
      company as a result of the breach by the


                                       19
<PAGE>
      Agent or such Paying Agents of the terms of this Agreement or its default,
      negligence or bad faith or that of its officers, directors, employees or
      agents.

18.   REPAYMENT BY THE AGENT

      Upon any Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, being discharged
      from its obligation to make payments in respect of any Notes pursuant to
      the relevant Conditions, and provided that there is no outstanding, bona
      fide and proper claim in respect of any such payments, the Agent shall
      forthwith on demand pay to the relevant Issuer sums equivalent to any
      amounts paid to it by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
      may be, for the purposes of such payments.

19.   CONDITIONS OF APPOINTMENT

19.1  The Agent shall be entitled to deal with money paid to it by any Issuer or
      the Guarantor for the purpose of this Agreement in the same manner as
      other money paid to a banker by its customers except:

      (a)   that it shall not exercise any right of set-off, lien or similar
            claim in respect thereof;

      (b)   as provided in subclause 19.2 below; and

      (c)   that it shall not be liable to account to any Issuer or the
            Guarantor for any interest thereon.

19.2  In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Agent and the
      other Paying Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuers and the
      Guarantor and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or
      relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders
      of the Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons.

19.3  The Agent and the other Paying Agents hereby undertake to the Issuers and
      the Guarantor to perform such obligations and duties, and shall be obliged
      to perform such duties and only such duties, as are herein, in the
      Conditions and in the Procedures Memorandum specifically set forth, and no
      implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the
      Notes against the Agent and the other Paying Agents, other than the duty
      to act honestly and in good faith and to exercise the diligence of a
      reasonably prudent agent in comparable circumstances.

19.4  The Agent may consult with legal and other professional advisers and the
      written opinion of such advisers shall be full and complete protection in
      respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered hereunder in good faith
      and in accordance with the opinion of such advisers.

19.5  Each of the Agent and the other Paying Agents shall be protected and shall
      incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, omitted or
      suffered in reliance upon any instruction, request or order from any
      Issuer or the Guarantor or any notice, resolution, direction, consent,
      certificate, affidavit, statement, cable, telex or other paper or document
      which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been delivered,
      signed or sent by the proper party or parties or upon written instructions
      from the Issuer or the Guarantor.

19.6  Any of the Agent and the other Paying Agents and their officers, directors
      and employees may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any
      Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons with the same rights that it or he
      would have if the Agent or the relevant other Paying Agent, as the case
      may be, concerned were not appointed hereunder, and may engage or be
      interested in any financial or other transaction with any Issuer or the
      Guarantor and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any
      committee or body of holders of Notes or Coupons or in


                                       20
<PAGE>
      connection with any other obligations of any Issuer or the Guarantor as
      freely as if the Agent or the relevant other Paying Agent, as the case may
      be, were not appointed hereunder.

19.7  Each Issuer and the Guarantor shall provide the Agent with a certified
      copy of the list of persons authorised to execute documents and take
      action on its behalf in connection with this Agreement and shall notify
      the Agent immediately in writing if any of such persons ceases to be so
      authorised or if any additional person becomes so authorised together, in
      the case of an additional authorised person, with evidence satisfactory to
      the Agent that such person has been so authorised.

20.   COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES

      A copy of all communications relating to the subject matter of this
      Agreement between any Issuer or the Guarantor and the Noteholders,
      Receiptholders or Couponholders and any of the Paying Agents (other than
      the Agent) shall be sent to the Agent by the other relevant Paying Agent.

21.   CHANGES IN AGENT AND OTHER PAYING AGENTS

21.1  Each Issuer and the Guarantor agree that, for so long as any Note is
      outstanding, or until moneys for the payment of all amounts in respect of
      all outstanding Notes have been made available to the Agent and have been
      returned to the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as
      provided herein (whichever is the later):

      (a)   so long as any Notes are listed on any Stock Exchange or admitted to
            listing by any other relevant authority, there will at all times be
            a Paying Agent (which may be the Agent) with a specified office in
            such place as may be required by the rules and regulations of such
            Stock Exchange or other relevant authority; and

      (b)   there will at all times be a Paying Agent (which may be the Agent)
            with its specified office in a country outside the tax jurisdiction
            of the Issuer; and

      (c)   there will at all times be an Agent; and

      (d)   if the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th-27th
            November, 2000 are implemented, it will ensure that it maintains a
            Paying Agent in an EU member state that will not be obliged to
            withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the relevant Directive.

      In addition, each Issuer and the Guarantor shall forthwith appoint a
      Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City in the
      circumstances described in the final paragraph of Condition 5(b). Any
      termination, appointment or change in the Agent or Paying Agent shall only
      take effect (other than in the case of insolvency, when it shall be of
      immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days' prior
      notice thereof shall have been given to the Noteholders in accordance with
      Condition 14.

21.2  The Agent may (subject as provided in subclause 21.4 below) at any time
      resign as Agent by giving at least 90 days' written notice to the Issuers
      and the Guarantor of such intention on its part, specifying the date on
      which its desired resignation shall become effective.

21.3  The Agent may (subject as provided in subclause 21.4 below) be removed at
      any time by the Issuers and the Guarantor on at least 45 days' notice by
      the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the
      Issuers and the Guarantor specifying such removal and the date when it
      shall become effective.


                                       21
<PAGE>
21.4  Any resignation under subclause 21.2 or removal under subclauses 21.3 or
      21.5 shall only take effect upon the appointment by the Issuers and the
      Guarantor as hereinafter provided, of a successor Agent and (other than in
      cases of insolvency of the Agent, when such resignation or removal shall
      become effective immediately) on the expiry of the notice to be given
      under Clause 23. The Issuers and the Guarantor agree with the Agent that
      if, by the day falling ten days before the expiry of any notice under
      subclause 21.2, the Issuers and the Guarantor have not appointed a
      successor Agent, then the Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of the
      Issuers and the Guarantor, to appoint as a successor Agent in its place a
      reputable financial institution of good standing which the Issuer and the
      Guarantor shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
      delayed).

21.5  In case at any time the Agent resigns, or is removed, or becomes incapable
      of acting or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary
      petition in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its
      creditors or consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator
      or administrative or other receiver of all or a substantial part of its
      property, or admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as
      they mature or suspends payment thereof, or if any order of any court is
      entered approving any petition filed by or against it under the provisions
      of any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if a receiver of it or
      of all or a substantial part of its property is appointed or if any
      officer takes charge or control of it or of its property or affairs for
      the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor
      Agent, which shall be a reputable financial institution of good standing
      may be appointed by the Issuers and the Guarantor by an instrument in
      writing filed with the successor Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid
      of a successor Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment and
      (other than in case of insolvency of the Agent when it shall be of
      immediate effect) upon expiry of the notice to be given under Clause 23
      the Agent so superseded shall cease to be the Agent hereunder.

21.6  Subject to subclause 21.1, the Issuers and the Guarantor may, after prior
      consultation with the Agent, terminate the appointment of any of the other
      Paying Agents at any time and/or appoint one or more further other Paying
      Agents by giving to the Agent, and to the relevant other Paying Agent at
      least 45 days' notice in writing to that effect (other than in the case of
      insolvency of the other Paying Agent).

21.7  Subject to subclause 21.1, all or any of the Paying Agents may resign
      their respective appointments hereunder at any time by giving the Issuers,
      the Guarantor and the Agent at least 45 days' written notice to that
      effect.

21.8  Upon its resignation or removal becoming effective, the Agent or the
      relevant Paying Agent:

      (a)   shall forthwith transfer all moneys held by it hereunder and, if
            applicable, the records referred to in clauses 12.4 and 13.7 to the
            successor Agent hereunder; and

      (b)   shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuers or the Guarantor of
            its commissions, fees and expenses for the services therefore
            rendered hereunder in accordance with the terms of Clause 16.

21.9  Upon its appointment becoming effective, a successor Agent and any new
      Paying Agent shall, without further act, deed or conveyance, become vested
      with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and
      obligations of its predecessor or, as the case may be, a Paying Agent with
      like effect as if originally named as Agent or (as the case may be) a
      Paying Agent hereunder.

22.   MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION

      Any corporation into which the Agent or any other Paying Agent may be
      merged or converted, or any corporation with which the Agent or any of the
      other Paying Agents may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
      any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agent or any of the
      other Paying Agents shall be a party, or any corporation to which the
      Agent or any of the other Paying Agents shall sell or otherwise transfer
      all or substantially all the assets of the Agent or any other Paying Agent
      shall, on the date when such merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer
      becomes effective and to the extent permitted by any applicable laws,
      become the successor Agent or, as the case may be, other Paying Agent
      under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
      further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless otherwise required
      by the Issuers and the Guarantor, and after the said effective date all
      references in this Agreement to the Agent or, as the case may be, such
      other Paying Agent shall be deemed to be references to such corporation.
      Written notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer
      shall forthwith be given to each Issuer and the Guarantor by the relevant
      Agent or other Paying Agent.

23.   NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PAYING AGENTS

      Following receipt of notice of resignation from the Agent or any other
      Paying Agent and forthwith upon appointing a successor Agent or, as the
      case may be, further or other Paying Agents or on giving notice to
      terminate the appointment of any Agent or, as the case may be, other
      Paying Agent, the Agent (on behalf of and at the expense of the Issuers
      and the Guarantor) shall give or cause to be given not more than 45 days'
      nor less than 30 days' notice thereof to the Noteholders in accordance
      with the Conditions.

24.   CHANGE OF SPECIFIED OFFICE

      Agent written notice of such determination giving the address of the new
      specified office which shall be in the same city and stating the date on
      which such change is to take effect, which shall not be less than 45 days
      thereafter. The Agent (on behalf and at the expense of the Issuers and the
      Guarantor) shall within 15 days of receipt of such notice (unless the
      appointment of the Agent or the other relevant Paying Agent, as the case
      may be, is to terminate pursuant to Clause 21 on or prior to the date of
      such change) give or cause to be given not more than 45 days' nor less
      than 30 days' notice thereof to the Noteholders in accordance with the
      Conditions.

      all stamp and other documentary taxes or duties which may be payable in
      Germany, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the Grand Duchy
      of Luxembourg, Belgium or Switzerland in connection with the execution,
      delivery, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, the Deed of
      Covenant or the Deed of Guarantee.

27.   CURRENCY INDEMNITY

      If, under any applicable law and whether pursuant to a judgment being made
      or registered against any Issuers and/or the Guarantor or in the
      liquidation, insolvency or analogous process of any Issuer and/or the
      Guarantor or for any other reason, any payment under or in connection with
      this Agreement is made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the OTHER
      CURRENCY) other than that in which the relevant payment is expressed to be
      due (the REQUIRED CURRENCY) under this Agreement, then, to the extent that
      the payment (when converted into the required currency at the rate of
      exchange on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the Agent
      or the relevant other Paying Agent to purchase the required currency with
      the other currency on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon
      thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so or, in the case of a
      liquidation, insolvency or analogous process at the rate of exchange on
      the latest date permitted by applicable law for the determination of
      liabilities in such liquidation, insolvency or analogous process) actually
      received by the Agent or the relevant other Paying Agent falls short of
      the amount due under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant Issuer and
      the Guarantor each undertakes that it shall, as a separate and independent
      obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each other Paying
      Agent against the amount of such shortfall. For the purpose of this
      clause, RATE OF EXCHANGE means the rate at which the Agent or the relevant
      other Paying Agent is able on the relevant date to purchase the required
      currency with the other currency and shall take into account any premium
      and other costs of exchange. The parties hereto understand and agree that
      in the event that the required currency is replaced by the Euro after the
      date hereof, the Euro will not be considered an OTHER CURRENCY for the
      purposes of this Clause 27.

28.   AMENDMENTS

      This Agreement may be amended in writing by agreement between the Issuers,
      the Guarantor, the Agent and the other Paying Agents, but without the
      consent of any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder, (i) for the
      purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing
      any defective provision contained herein or complying with mandatory
      provisions of the law of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer or Guarantor
      is


                                       24
<PAGE>
      incorporated or (ii) in any manner which the parties may mutually deem
      necessary or desirable and which shall not be materially prejudicial to
      the interests of the Noteholders. The Issuers, the Guarantor and the Agent
      may also agree any modification pursuant to Condition 15.

      A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the
      Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this
      Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party
      which exists or is available apart from that Act.

31.   GOVERNING LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION

31.1  This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with,
      the laws of England.

31.2  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees, for the exclusive benefit of
      the other parties hereto, that the courts of England are to have
      jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in
      connection with this Agreement and that accordingly any suit, action or
      proceedings (together referred to as PROCEEDINGS) arising out of or in
      connection with this Agreement may be brought in such courts. Each party
      hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may have now or
      hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such Proceedings in any such
      court and any claim that any such Proceedings have been brought in an
      inconvenient forum and hereby further irrevocably agrees that a judgment
      in any such Proceedings brought in the English courts shall be conclusive
      and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other
      jurisdiction (subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which enforcement
      is sought). Nothing contained in this clause shall limit any right to take
      Proceedings against any party hereto in any other court of competent
      jurisdiction (outside the Contracting States as defined in section 1(3) of
      the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982), nor shall the taking of
      Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of
      Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not
      (subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdictions). Each of CIBA US, CIBA
      Germany, CIBA Bermuda and the Guarantor each hereby appoints CIBA UK as
      its agent for service of process, and undertakes that, in the event of
      CIBA UK ceasing so to act or ceasing to be registered in England, it will
      appoint another person, as the Agent may approve, as its agent for service
      of process in England in respect of any Proceedings. The Replacement Agent
      hereby appoints the Agent as its agent for service of process, and
      undertakes that, in the event of the Agent ceasing so to act or ceasing to
      be registered in England, it will appoint another person, as the Guarantor
      may approve, as its agent for service of process in England in respect of
      any Proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in
      any other manner permitted by law.

32.   COUNTERPARTS

      This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in
      any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
      original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
      same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

      be given to the holders of the Relevant Notes in accordance with the
      Conditions as soon as practicable thereafter.

      appointment of the Calculation Agent (whether by the Issuer, the Guarantor
      or by the resignation of the Calculation Agent) shall not be effective
      unless upon the expiry of the relevant notice a successor Calculation
      Agent has been appointed.

<PAGE>
6.6   Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and
      deliver to its predecessor, the Issuer and the Guarantor an instrument
      accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such a successor
      Calculation Agent, without further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
      vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties
      and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally
      named as the Calculation Agent hereunder.

6.7   If the appointment of the Calculation Agent hereunder is terminated
      (whether by the Issuer and the Guarantor or by the resignation of the
      Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall on the date on which such
      termination takes effect deliver to the successor Calculation Agent any
      records concerning the Relevant Notes maintained by it (and copies of such

      corporation to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise
      transfer all or substantially all of its assets shall, on the date when
      such merger, consolidation or transfer becomes effective and to the extent
      permitted by any applicable laws, become the successor Calculation Agent
      under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
      further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, unless otherwise
      required by the Issuer and the Guarantor, and after the said effective
      date all references in this Agreement to the Calculation Agent shall be
      deemed to be references to such corporation. Written notice of any such
      merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer shall forthwith be given to
      the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Agent.

6.9   Upon giving notice of the intended termination of the appointment of the
      Calculation Agent, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall use all reasonable

      the other parties hereto, that the courts of England are to have
      jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in

      Proceedings against any party in any other court of competent jurisdiction
      (outside the Contracting States, as defined in section 1(3) of the Civil
      Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982), nor shall the taking of Proceedings

      other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not (subject to the laws of
      the relevant jurisdictions). The [Issuer and the] Guarantor [each] hereby
      appoints the [Issuer/CIBA Specialty Chemicals PLC] as its agent for

      any Proceedings. [The Calculation Agent hereby appoints [ ] as its agent
      for service of process, and undertakes that, in the event of [ ] ceasing
      so to act or ceasing to be registered in England, it will appoint another
      person, as the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor may approve, as its agent
      for service of process in England in respect of any Proceedings]. Nothing
      herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by
      law.

IN WITNESS whereof this Agreement has been entered into the day and year first
above written.

                              TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE

This Global Note is a Temporary Global Note in respect of a duly authorised
issue of Euro Medium Term Notes (the NOTES) of [Ciba Specialty Chemicals
Corporation/Ciba Specialty Chemicals PLC/Ciba Spezialitatenchemie Holding
Deutschland GmbH/Ciba Specialty Chemicals Eurofinance Ltd.] (the ISSUER)
described, and having the provisions specified, in the Pricing Supplement
attached hereto (the PRICING SUPPLEMENT). Payments in respect of the Notes have
been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Ciba Specialty Chemicals
Holding Inc. (the GUARANTOR). References herein to the Conditions shall be to
the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in Schedule 1 to the Agency
Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set
out in the Pricing Supplement, but in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of that Schedule and the information set out in the Pricing
Supplement, the Pricing Supplement will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the Conditions and/or the Pricing
Supplement shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions
and an amended and restated Agency Agreement (the AGENCY AGREEMENT, which
expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may
be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time) dated 27th March, 2003
and made between, inter alia, the Issuer, the Guarantor, JPMorgan Chase Bank
(the AGENT) and the other agents named therein.

For value received the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions,
promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are
repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date and/or on such earlier
date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become
due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount payable under
the Conditions in respect of such Notes on each such date and to pay interest
(if any) on the nominal amount of the Notes from time to time represented by
this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions together
with any other sums payable under the Conditions, upon presentation and, at
maturity, surrender of this Global Note at the office of the Agent at Trinity
Tower, 9 Thomas More Street, London E1W 1YT or at the specified office of any of
the other paying agents located outside the United States (except as provided in
the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantor in
respect of the Notes, but in each case subject to the requirements as to
certification provided herein. On any redemption or payment of an instalment or
interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the
Notes represented by this Global Note details of such redemption, payment or
purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered by or on behalf
of the Issuer in Schedule 1 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 1 hereto
recording any such redemption, payment or purchase and cancellation (as the case
may be) shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer.

Upon any such redemption, payment of an instalment or purchase and cancellation,
as aforesaid, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note
shall be reduced by the nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased
and cancelled or the amount of such instalment. The nominal amount of the Notes
represented by this Global Note following any such redemption, payment of an
instalment or purchase and cancellation as aforesaid or any exchange as referred
to below shall be the nominal amount most recently entered by or on behalf of
the Issuer in the relevant column in Part 2, 3 or 4 of Schedule 1 or Schedule 2
hereto.

Prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on this
Global Note will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is
presented to the Agent by Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear a certificate,
substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3 hereto, to the effect that it
has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular nominal
amount of the


                                       59
<PAGE>
Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of
Certificate "A" as set out in Schedule 3 hereto. The bearer of this Global Note
will not be entitled to receive any payment of interest hereon due on or after
the Exchange Date unless upon due certification exchange of this Global Note is
improperly withheld or refused.

On or after the date (the EXCHANGE DATE) which is 40 days after the later of the
Issue Date and completion of the distribution of the Tranche of Notes
represented by this Global Note or such later date specified in the Pricing
Supplement, this Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part (free of
charge) for, as specified in the Pricing Supplement, either security printed
Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and Talons in the form
set out in Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively of Schedule 2 to the Agency
Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on
the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and
Talons and the Pricing Supplement (or the relevant provisions of the Pricing
Supplement) have been either endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Notes)
or a Permanent Global Note in or substantially in the form set out in Part 2 of
Schedule 2 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Pricing Supplement
attached thereto) upon notice being given by Euroclear and/or Clearstream,
Luxembourg acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this
Global Note and subject, in the case of Definitive Notes, to such notice period
as is specified in the Pricing Supplement.

If Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons have
already been issued in exchange for all the Notes represented for the time being
by the Permanent Global Note, then this Global Note may only thereafter be

Presentation of this Global Note for exchange shall be made by the bearer hereof
on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for
business in London at the office of the Agent specified above. The Issuer shall
procure that the Definitive Notes or (as the case may be) the Permanent Global
Note shall be so issued and delivered in exchange for only that portion of this
Global Note in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Agent by
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate, substantially in the form
set out in Schedule 3 hereto, to the effect that it has received from or in
respect of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in a particular nominal
amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate from such person in

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be
surrendered to the Agent. On an exchange of part only of this Global Note,
details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in

Note for a Permanent Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by
or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule 2 to the Permanent Global Note and the
relevant space in Schedule 2 thereto recording such exchange shall be signed by
or on behalf of the Issuer.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer
hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled
to the same benefits as if he were the bearer of Definitive Notes and the
relative Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons (if any) in the forms set out in Parts
3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6, respectively, of Schedule 2 to the Agency
Agreement.

In the event that this Global Note (or any part hereof) has become due and
repayable in accordance with the Conditions or that the Maturity Date has
occurred and, in either case, payment in full of the amount due has not been
made to the bearer in accordance with the foregoing then, unless within the

have been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Ciba Specialty Chemicals
Holding Inc. (the GUARANTOR). References herein to the Conditions shall be to
the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in Schedule 1 to the Agency
Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set
out in the Pricing Supplement, but in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of that Schedule and the information set out in the Pricing
Supplement, the Pricing Supplement will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the Conditions and/or the Pricing
Supplement shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions
and an amended and restated Agency Agreement (the AGENCY AGREEMENT, which
expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may
be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time) dated 27th March, 2003
and made between, inter alia, the Issuer, the Guarantor, JPMorgan Chase Bank
(the AGENT) and the other agents named therein.

For value received the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions,
promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are
repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date and/or on such earlier
date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become
due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the amount payable under
the Conditions in respect of such Notes on each such date and to pay interest
(if any) on the nominal amount of the Notes from time to time represented by
this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions together
with any other sums payable under the Conditions, upon presentation and, at
maturity, surrender of this Global Note at the office of the Agent at Trinity
Tower, 9 Thomas More Street, London E1W 1YT or at the specified office of any of
the other paying agents located outside the United States (except as provided in
the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantor in
respect of the Notes. On any redemption or payment of an instalment or interest
being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes
represented by this Global Note details of such redemption, payment or purchase
and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered by or on behalf of the
Issuer in Schedule 1 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 1 hereto
recording any such redemption, payment or purchase and cancellation (as the case
may be) shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer.

Upon any such redemption, payment of an instalment or purchase and cancellation
as aforesaid, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note
shall be reduced by the nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased
and cancelled or the amount of such instalment. The nominal amount of the Notes
represented by this Global Note following any such redemption, payment of an
instalment or purchase and cancellation as aforesaid, or any exchange as
referred to below shall be the nominal amount most recently entered by or on
behalf of the Issuer in the relevant column in Part 2, 3 or 4 of Schedule 1 or
Schedule 2 hereto.

On any exchange of the Temporary Global Note issued in respect of the Notes for
this Global Note or any part hereof, details of such exchange shall be entered
by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule 2 hereto and the relevant space in
Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the
Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global
Note shall be increased by the nominal amount of the Temporary Global Note so
exchanged.

This Global Note may be exchanged in whole but not in part (free of charge), for
Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form
set out in Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 respectively, of Schedule 2 to the
Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been
included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons,
Receipts and Talons and the Pricing Supplement (or the relevant provisions of
the Pricing Supplement) have been


                                       72
<PAGE>
endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Notes) either, as specified in the
applicable Pricing Supplement:

(a)   upon not less than 60 days' written notice being given to the Agent by
      Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg acting on the instructions of any
      holder of an interest in this Global Note; or

(b)   only upon the occurrence of any Exchange Event.

An EXCHANGE EVENT means an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

the Issuer has been notified that either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
has been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by
reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or has announced an intention
permanently to cease business or has in fact done so and no alternative clearing
system is available; or

the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided for
or referred to in Condition 7 which would not be required were the Notes
represented by this Global Note in definitive form.

If this Global Note is only exchangeable following the occurrence of an Exchange
Event:

The first notice requesting exchange in accordance with the above provisions
shall give rise to the issue of Definitive Notes for the total amount of Notes
represented by this Global Note.

Any such exchange as aforesaid will be made upon presentation of this Global
Note at the office of the Agent specified above by the bearer hereof on any day
(other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in
London. The aggregate nominal amount of Definitive Notes issued upon an exchange
of this Global Note will be equal to the aggregate nominal amount of this Global
Note.

On an exchange of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the
Agent.

Until the exchange of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall in
all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled to the same
benefits as if he were the bearer of Definitive Notes and the relative Coupons,
Receipts and/or Talons (if any) in the forms set out in Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
and Part 6, respectively, of Schedule 2 to the Agency Agreement.

In the event that this Global Note (or any part hereof) has become due and
repayable in accordance with the Conditions or that the Maturity Date has
occurred and, in either case, payment in full of the amount due has not been
made to the bearer in accordance with the foregoing then, unless within the
period of fifteen days commencing on the relevant due date payment in full of
the amount due in respect of this Global Note is received by the bearer in
accordance with the foregoing, this Global Note will become void at 8.00 p.m.
(London time) on such fifteenth day and the bearer will have no further rights
under this Global Note (but without prejudice to the rights which the bearer or
any other person may have under the amended and restated Deed of Covenant
executed by the Issuer on 27th March, 2003 in respect of the Euro Medium Term
Notes issued under the Program Agreement pursuant to which this Global Note is
issued).

No rights are conferred on any person under the Contracts (Rights of Third
Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Global Note, but this does not
affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from
that Act.

This Global Note is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with,
English law.

                            FORM OF DEED OF GUARANTEE

THIS DEED OF GUARANTEE is made on 27th March, 2003 by CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS
HOLDING INC., (the GUARANTOR) in favour of the Relevant Account Holders (as
defined in the Deed of Covenant referred to below) and the holders for the time
being of the Notes (as defined below) and the interest coupons (if any)
appertaining to the Notes (COUPONS), the Coupons being attached on issue to
Definitive Note(s) (as defined below). Each Relevant Account Holder, each holder
of a Note and each holder of a Coupon is a HOLDER.

WHEREAS:

(A)   CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS CORPORATION, CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS PLC, CIBA
      SPEZIALITATENCHEMIE HOLDING DEUTSCHLAND GMBH, CIBA SPECIALTY CHEMICALS
      EUROFINANCE LTD. (the ISSUERS and each an ISSUER) and the Guarantor have
      entered into an amended and restated Program Agreement (the PROGRAM
      AGREEMENT, which expression includes the same as it may be amended or
      supplemented from time to time) dated 27th March, 2003 with the Dealers
      named therein, which amends and restates the amended and restated program
      agreement entered into by, inter alia, Ciba Specialty Chemicals
      Corporation, Ciba Specialty Chemicals PLC and Ciba Spezialitatenchemie
      Holding Deutschland GmbH dated 30th March, 2001 (the PRINCIPAL PROGRAM
      AGREEMENT), under which each Issuer proposes from time to time to issue
      Euro Medium Term Notes (the NOTES, such expression to include each
      Definitive Note issued by an Issuer and each Global Note issued by an
      Issuer (where DEFINITIVE NOTE and GLOBAL NOTE have the meanings ascribed
      thereto in the Agency Agreement defined below) and to include any receipts
      issued in respect of Notes repayable in instalments);

(B)   each Issuer has executed a Deed of Covenant of even date (the DEED OF
      COVENANT) relating to Global Notes issued by that Issuer pursuant to the
      Program Agreement;

(C)   the Issuers and the Guarantor have entered into an amended and restated
      agency agreement (the AGENCY AGREEMENT, which expression includes the same
      as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time) dated 27th March,
      2003 with the Paying Agents named therein; and

(D)   this Deed of Guarantee amends and restates the amended and restated Deed
      of Guarantee made by the Guarantor dated 27th March, 2002, and does not
      affect any Notes issued pursuant to the Principal Program Agreement prior
      to the date hereof.

NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES as follows:

1.    Guarantee: The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to
      secure by way of deed poll to each Holder the due and punctual payment as
      stipulated in an Issuer's Note or Coupon or under its Deed of Covenant, as
      the case may be. The Guarantor therefore undertakes to pay on first demand
      of such a Holder, irrespective of the validity and the legal effects of
      the above mentioned relationship in respect of a Note or Coupon or Deed of
      Covenant and waiving all rights of objection and defence arising therefrom
      any amount not paid by the relevant Issuer (including any premium or any
      other amounts of whatever nature or additional amounts) upon receipt of
      the written request for payment by such Holder and the confirmation in
      writing by the Agent that the relevant Issuer has not made such payments
      on the dates specified and in the amount called under the Guarantee. The
      Guarantor hereby expressly undertakes and secures that payments under this
      Guarantee will not be less than as


                                       91
<PAGE>
      stipulated in an Issuer's Note or Coupon. In implementation of this
      undertaking and in case Swiss withholding taxes are imposed in respect of
      payments made under this Guarantee, the Guarantor undertakes, as a
      separate and independent obligation, to pay an increased amount on the
      relevant Note or Coupon so that the payment received by the Noteholder or
      Couponholder shall equal the amount actually stipulated in such Note or
      Coupon (assuming no such withholding applies).

2.    Guarantor's Obligations Continuing: The Guarantor's obligations under this
      Guarantee are and will remain in full force and effect by way of
      continuing security until no sum remains payable under any Note, any
      Coupon or the Deed of Covenant. Furthermore, these obligations of the
      Guarantor are additional to, and not instead of, any security or other
      guarantee or indemnity at any time existing in favour of a Holder, whether
      from the Guarantor or otherwise. The Guarantor irrevocably waives all
      notices and demands whatsoever, except as provided herein.

3.    Repayment to the Issuer: If any payment received by a Holder is, on the
      subsequent liquidation or insolvency of the relevant Issuer, avoided under
      any laws relating to liquidation or insolvency, such payment will not be
      considered as having discharged or diminished the liability of the
      Guarantor and this Guarantee will continue to apply as if such payment had
      at all times remained owing by the relevant Issuer.

4.    Status of Guarantee: The payment obligations of the Guarantor under this
      Guarantee constitute direct, unconditional and (subject to Clause 5 below)
      unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and (subject as aforesaid) rank and
      will rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and
      unsubordinated indebtedness and monetary obligations of the Guarantor,
      present or future, including those in respect of deposits (other than
      obligations preferred by law).

5.    Negative Pledge of the Guarantor: So long as any of the Notes remains
      outstanding, but not later than the time when payment for the full amount
      of principal and interest in respect of all outstanding Notes has been
      duly provided for, the Guarantor will procure that no Indebtedness of the
      Guarantor which is represented by bonds, notes or other securities which
      in any such case are listed or capable of being listed on any recognised
      Stock Exchange will be secured upon any of the present or future assets or
      revenues of the Guarantor unless all amounts payable under this Guarantee
      are secured equally and rateably with such other security or such other
      security or guarantee is granted to the Notes and Coupons as shall have
      been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders. Any
      reference to an obligation being guaranteed shall include a reference to
      an indemnity being given in respect of payment thereof.

      As used herein INDEBTEDNESS means all indebtedness for money borrowed that
      is created, assumed, incurred or guaranteed in any manner by the Guarantor
      or for which the Guarantor is otherwise responsible or liable.

6.    Tax Gross-up: All payments in respect of the Notes by the Guarantor shall
      be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any
      present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of
      whatever nature (TAXES) imposed or levied by or on behalf of Switzerland,
      or any political sub-division of, or any authority in, or of, Switzerland
      having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is
      required by law. In that event, the Guarantor will pay such additional
      amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the
      Noteholders and Couponholders after the withholding or deduction shall
      equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect
      of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of the
      withholding or deduction;


                                       92
<PAGE>
      except that no additional amount shall be payable in relation to any
      payment in respect of any Note or Coupon:

      (a)   by or on behalf of a person liable to such tax, duty or charge in
            respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon by reason of his having some
            connection with Switzerland other than the mere holding or ownership
            of such Note, Receipt or Coupon; and/or

      (b)   presented for payment to the relevant Issuer more than 30 days after
            the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 7(f) of the Terms and
            Conditions of the relevant Notes) except to the extent that a holder
            would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the
            same for payment on the last day of the period of 30 days; and/or

      (c)   to, or to a third party on behalf of, a holder who would be able to
            avoid such withholding or deduction by making a declaration of
            non-residence or similar claim for exemption but fails to do so;
            and/or

      (d)   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; and/or

      (e)   presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have
            been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the
            relevant Note or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of
            the EU.

7.    Power to execute: The Guarantor hereby warrants, represents and covenants
      with each Holder that it has all corporate power, and has taken all
      necessary corporate or other steps, to enable it to execute, deliver and
      perform this Guarantee, and that this Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid
      and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with
      its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency,
      fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other similar laws affecting
      creditor's rights generally from time to time in effect, and to general
      principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in
      law or at equity.

8.    Deposit of Guarantee: This Guarantee shall take effect as a Deed Poll for
      the benefit of the Holders from time to time and for the time being. This
      Guarantee shall be deposited with and held by The Chase Manhattan Bank for
      the benefit of the Holders until all the obligations of the Guarantor
      hereunder have been discharged in full.

9.    Production of Guarantee: The Guarantor hereby acknowledges the right of
      every Holder to the production of, and the right of every Holder to obtain
      (upon payment of a reasonable charge) a copy of, this Guarantee, and
      further acknowledges and covenants that the obligations binding upon it
      contained herein are owed to, and shall be for the account of, each and
      every Holder, and that each Holder shall be entitled severally to enforce
      the said obligations against the Guarantor.

10.   Subrogation: Until all amounts which may be payable under the Notes, the
      Coupons and/or the Deed of Covenant have been irrevocably paid in full,
      the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights of subrogation in respect of
      any rights of any Holder or claim in competition with the Holders against
      the relevant Issuer.

11.   Governing Law and Jurisdiction: This Guarantee is governed by and shall be
      construed in accordance with English law. The Guarantor irrevocably agrees
      for the benefit of each


                                       93
<PAGE>
      Holder that the courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any
      disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Guarantee and
      that accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in
      connection with this Guarantee (together referred to as PROCEEDINGS) may
      be brought in the courts of England.

      The Guarantor irrevocably waives any objection which it may have now or
      hereafter to the laying of the venue of the Proceedings in the courts of
      England and irrevocably agrees that a final judgment in any Proceedings
      brought in the courts of England shall be conclusive and binding upon the
      Guarantor and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
      Nothing contained in this clause shall limit any right to take Proceedings
      against the Guarantor in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor
      shall the taking of Proceedings in none or more jurisdictions preclude the
      taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or
      not.

      No rights are conferred on any person under the Contracts (Rights of Third
      Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Global Note, but this does
      not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available
      apart from that Act.

                  deposited or held are listed distinguishing with regard to
                  each such resolution between those in respect of which
                  instructions have been given as aforesaid that the votes
                  attributable thereto should be cast in favour of the
                  resolution and those in respect of which instructions have

                  listed in accordance with the instructions referred to in
                  paragraph (iii) above as set out in such document.

            The holder of any voting certificate or the proxies named in any
            block voting instruction shall for all purposes in connection with
            the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting of Noteholders be deemed
            to be the holder of the Notes to which such voting certificate or
            block voting instruction relates and the Paying Agent with which
            such Notes have been deposited or the person holding the same to the
            order or under the control of such Paying Agent shall be deemed for
            such purposes not to be the holder of those Notes.

      (c)   References herein to the NOTES are to the Notes in respect of which
            the relevant meeting is convened.

2.    The relevant Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time and, upon a
      requisition in writing of Noteholders holding not less than five per cent.
      in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, shall
      convene a meeting of the Noteholders and if the relevant Issuer makes
      default for a period of seven days in convening such a meeting the same
      may be convened by the requisitionists. Whenever the relevant Issuer or
      the Guarantor is about to convene any such meeting it shall forthwith give
      notice in writing to the Agent and the Dealers of the day, time and place
      thereof and of the nature of the business to be transacted thereat. Every
      such meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Agent may
      approve.

3.    At least 21 days' notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is
      given and the day on which the meeting is held) specifying the place, day
      and hour of meeting shall be given to the Noteholders prior to any meeting
      of the Noteholders in the manner provided by Condition 14. Such notice
      shall state generally the nature of the business to be transacted at the
      meeting thereby convened but (except for an Extraordinary Resolution) it
      shall not be necessary to specify in such notice the terms of any
      resolution to be proposed. Such notice shall include a statement to the
      effect that Notes may be deposited with Paying Agents for the purpose of
      obtaining voting certificates or appointing proxies not less than 24 hours
      before the time fixed for the meeting or that, in the case of
      corporations, they may appoint representatives by resolution of their
      directors or other governing body. A copy of the notice shall be sent by
      post to the Issuer (unless the meeting is convened by the relevant Issuer)
      and to the Guarantor (unless the meeting is convened by the Guarantor).


                                       96

4.    Some person (who may but need not be a Noteholder) nominated in writing by
      the relevant Issuer shall be entitled to take the chair at every such
      meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the person
      nominated shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time
      appointed for holding the meeting the Noteholders present shall choose one
      of their number to be Chairman.

5.    At any such meeting one or more persons present holding Notes or voting
      certificates or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate

      Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in paragraph 20 below)) form a quorum
      for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing
      of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite
      quorum be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at any such
      meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject as provided
      below) be one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates
      or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less
      than 50 per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being

      any of the following matters (each of which shall only be capable of being
      effected after having been approved by Extraordinary Resolution) namely:

      (a)   modification of the Maturity Date of the Notes or reduction or
            cancellation of the nominal amount payable upon maturity; or

      (b)   reduction or cancellation of the amount payable or modification of
            the payment date in respect of any interest in respect of the Notes
            or variation of the method of calculating the rate of interest in
            respect of the Notes; or

      (c)   reduction of any Minimum Interest Rate and/or Maximum Interest Rate
            specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement of any Note; or

      (d)   modification of the currency in which payments under the Notes
            and/or the Receipts and/or Coupons appertaining thereto are to be
            made; or

      (e)   modification of the majority required to pass an Extraordinary
            Resolution; or

      (f)   the sanctioning of any such scheme or proposal as is described in

      the quorum shall be one or more persons present holding Notes or voting
      certificates or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate
      not less than 75 per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time
      being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of
      the holders of Notes will be binding on all holders of Notes, whether or
      not they are present at the meeting, and on all holders of Coupons
      appertaining to such Notes.

6.    If within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting a
      quorum is not present the meeting shall if convened upon the requisition
      of Noteholders be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to
      the same day in the next week (or if such day is a public holiday the next
      succeeding business day) at the same time and place (except in the case of
      a meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be proposed in which
      case it shall stand adjourned for such period being not less than 14 days
      nor more than 42 days, and at such place as may be appointed by the
      Chairman and approved by the Agent) and at such adjourned meeting one or
      more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being


                                       97
<PAGE>
      proxies (whatever the nominal amount of the Notes so held or represented
      by them) shall (subject as provided below) form a quorum and shall
      (subject as provided below) have power to pass any Extraordinary
      Resolution or other resolution and to decide upon all matters which could
      properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment
      took place had the requisite quorum been present PROVIDED THAT at any
      adjourned meeting the business of which includes any of the matters
      specified in the proviso to paragraph 5 above the quorum shall be one or
      more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies
      and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than a clear
      majority in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.

7.    Notice of any adjourned meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to
      be submitted shall be given in the same manner as notice of an original
      meeting but as if 10 were substituted for 21 in paragraph 3 above and such
      notice shall (except in cases where the proviso to paragraph 6 above shall
      apply when it shall state the relevant quorum) state that one or more
      persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies at
      the adjourned meeting whatever the nominal amount of the Notes held or
      represented by them will form a quorum. Subject as aforesaid it shall not
      be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

8.    Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first
      instance by a show of hands and 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 the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a
      Noteholder or as a holder of a voting certificate or as a proxy.

9.    At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the
      result of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman or the relevant
      Issuer or by one or more persons present holding Notes or voting
      certificates or being proxies (whatever the nominal amount of the Notes so
      held by them), a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been
      carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a
      particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof
      of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against
      such resolution.

10.   Subject to paragraph 12 below, if at any such meeting a poll is so
      demanded it shall be taken in such manner and subject as hereinafter
      provided either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs
      and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the
      meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the
      poll. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the
      meeting for the transaction of any business other than the motion on which
      the poll has been demanded.

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

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

13.   Any director or officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor and their
      respective lawyers may attend and speak at any meeting. Save as aforesaid,
      but without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of OUTSTANDING in
      clause 1.2 of this Agreement, no person shall be entitled to attend and
      speak nor shall any person be entitled to vote at any meeting of the
      Noteholders or join with others in requisitioning the convening of such a
      meeting unless he either produces the Note or Notes of which he is the
      holder or a voting certificate or is a proxy. None of the


                                       98
<PAGE>
      Issuers, the Guarantor nor any of their respective subsidiaries shall be
      entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes held by it for the
      benefit of any such company and no other person shall be entitled to vote
      at any meeting in respect of Notes held by it for the benefit of any such
      company. Nothing herein contained shall prevent any of the proxies named
      in any block voting instruction from being a director, officer or
      representative of or otherwise connected with the Issuer or the Guarantor.

14.   Subject as provided in paragraph 13 hereof at any meeting:

      (a)   on a show of hands every person who is present in person and
            produces a Note or voting certificate or is a proxy shall have one
            vote; and

      (b)   on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in
            respect of:

            (i)   in the case of a meeting of the holders of Notes all of which
                  are denominated in a single currency, each minimum integral
                  amount of such currency; and

            (ii)  in the case of a meeting of the holders of Notes denominated
                  in more than one currency, each U.S.$1.00 or, in the case of a
                  Note denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the
                  equivalent of U.S.$1.00 in such currency at the Agent's spot
                  buying rate for the relevant currency against U.S. dollars at
                  or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the date of publication
                  of the notice of the relevant meeting (or of the original
                  meeting of which such meeting is an adjournment),

            or such other amount as the Agent shall in its absolute discretion
            stipulate in nominal amount of Notes so produced or represented by
            the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a
            proxy.

      Without prejudice to the obligations of the proxies named in any block
      voting instruction any person entitled to more than one vote need not use
      all his votes or cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same
      way.

15.   The proxies named in any block voting instruction need not be Noteholders.

16.   Each block voting instruction together (if so requested by the relevant
      Issuer) with proof satisfactory to the relevant Issuer of its due
      execution on behalf of the relevant Paying Agent shall be deposited at
      such place as the Agent shall approve not less than 24 hours before the
      time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the
      proxies named in the block voting instruction propose to vote and in
      default the block voting instruction shall not be treated as valid unless
      the Chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting or
      adjourned meeting proceeds to business. A certified copy of each block
      voting instruction shall be deposited with the Agent before the
      commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Agent shall not
      thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or
      the authority of the proxies named in any such block voting instruction.

17.   Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction
      shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the
      block voting instruction or of any of the Noteholders' instructions
      pursuant to which it was executed PROVIDED THAT no intimation in writing
      of such revocation or amendment shall have been received from the relevant
      Paying Agent by the relevant Issuer at its registered office (or such
      other place as may have been approved by the Agent for the purpose) by the
      time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or
      adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction is to be used.

      (subject to the provisions relating to quorum contained in paragraphs 5
      and 6 above) only, namely:

      (a)   power to sanction any compromise or arrangement proposed to be made

            against any of its property whether such rights shall arise under
            this Agreement, the Notes or the Coupons or otherwise;

      (c)   power to assent to any modification of the provisions contained in
            this Agreement or the Conditions, the Notes, the Coupons, the

            of this Agreement or the Notes is required to be given by

      (e)   power to appoint any persons (whether Noteholders or not) as a
            committee or committees to represent the interests of the

            powers or discretions which the Noteholders could themselves
            exercise by Extraordinary Resolution;

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

      (g)   power to approve the substitution of any entity in place of (i) the
            Issuer (or any previous substitute) as the principal debtor in
            respect of the Notes and the Coupons or (ii) the Guarantor (or any
            previous substitute) as guarantor under the Guarantee.

      Noteholders whether present or not present at such meeting and whether or
      not voting and upon all Couponholders and Receiptholders and each of them
      shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly and the passing of any

      resolution duly considered by the Noteholders shall be published in
      accordance with Condition 14 by the relevant Issuer within 14 days of such
      result being known PROVIDED THAT the non-publication of such notice shall
      not invalidate such resolution.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Dealers must confirm all trades directly with the Issuer, the Guarantor and the
Agent.

1.    RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE AGENT

      The Agent will, in addition to the responsibilities in relation to
      settlement described in Annexe A, be responsible for the following:

      (a)   in the case of Notes which are to be listed on a Stock Exchange,
            distributing, or procuring the distribution, to the Stock Exchange
            and any other relevant authority such number of copies of the
            Pricing Supplement required by the Stock Exchange and such other
            relevant authority;

      (b)   in the case of Notes which are to be listed on a Stock Exchange,
            immediately notifying the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer if
            at any time the Agent is notified by the Listing Agent or the Stock
            Exchange that the listing of a Tranche of Notes has been refused or
            otherwise will not take place; and

      (c)   determining the end of the Distribution Compliance Period in respect
            of a Tranche in accordance with Clause 4 of the Agency Agreement.
            The Agent shall upon determining the end of the Distribution
            Compliance Period in respect of any Tranche notify the relevant

            relevant Dealer or Lead Manager, as the case may be.

2.    RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEALER/LEAD MANAGER

(a)   Each Dealer/Lead Manager will be responsible for preparing and agreeing
      with the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor a Pricing Supplement
      (substantially in the form of Annexe C hereto) giving details of each
      Tranche of Notes to be issued.

(b)   In the case of an issue not to be subscribed pursuant to a Subscription
      Agreement, each Dealer which agrees to purchase Notes from the relevant
      Issuer will be responsible for notifying the Agent upon completion of the
      distribution of the Notes of each Tranche purchased by that Dealer. In the
      case of an issue of Notes to be subscribed pursuant to a Subscription
      Agreement, the Lead Manager will be responsible for notifying the Agent
      upon completion of the distribution of the Notes of such issue.

      pursuant to a Subscription Agreement), unless otherwise agreed between the
      relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, the Agent and the relevant Dealer or the
      Lead Manager, as the case may be. With issues of Notes to be listed on a
      Stock Exchange other than the Luxembourg Stock Exchange more time may be
      required to comply with the relevant Stock Exchange's listing requirements
      and with issues of Dual Currency or Indexed Notes more time may be
      required to settle documentation.

      A Trading Desk and Administrative Contact List is set out in Annexe D.

      N.B.: ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH ANY ISSUER MUST BE COPIED TO THE GUARANTOR.

                                     (whether pursuant to an unsolicited bid
                                     from a Dealer or pursuant to an enquiry by
                                     the Issuer). The Dealer instructs the Agent
                                     to obtain a common code and ISIN from
                                     Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. In

                                     Series, the Agent telephones Euroclear or
                                     Clearstream, Luxembourg with a request for
                                     a common code and ISIN for such Series and
                                     in the case of a subsequent Tranche of
                                     Notes of that Series the Agent telephones
                                     Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg with a
                                     request for a temporary common code and
                                     ISIN for such Tranche. Each common code and
                                     ISIN is notified by the Agent to the Issuer
                                     and each Dealer which has reached agreement
                                     with the Issuer.

                                     agreement to the Issuer and the Guarantor
                                     by fax (substantially in the form set out
                                     in Annexe B) attaching a copy of the

                                     form set out in Annexe C). The Dealer sends

                                     information.

                                     Supplement to the relevant Dealer. The
                                     Issuer also confirms its instructions to
                                     the Agent (including, in the case of
