to do this. Such stabilising, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. Such stabilising shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and rules. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such over allotment or
stabilising shall be for the account of the Stabilising Manager. The Manager acknowledges that the Issuer has not authorised the creation and issue of Notes in excess of €325,000,000.

retain separate legal advisers and to participate in such defence but the legal or other expenses incurred in so doing shall, subject to Clause 16 (Conduct by Indemnified Person), be borne by such Indemnified Person or Relevant Party, as the

Relevant Party would present such legal advisers with a conflict of interest; or 

  

	 	16.1.3	Different defences: the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, such Claim include both the Indemnifier and such Indemnified Person and/or Relevant Party (as the

such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person and, as the case may require, each Relevant Party from all liability arising out of the matters which are the subject of such Claim and (if required
by the relevant Indemnified Person) an undertaking to keep the details of such settlement confidential.

 The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute.

that they will not argue to the contrary. 
  

	32.3	Jurisdiction 

  
 Clause 32.1 (English Courts) is for the benefit of the Manager only. As a result and notwithstanding Clause 32.1 (English Courts), it does

 The Issuer and each of the Chargors other than the English Chargors each agree that the documents which start any Proceedings and any other documents

address in Great Britain at which process may be served on that particular party in accordance with Part XXIII of the Companies Act 1985. If any of the Issuer and each of the Chargors other than the English Chargors does not have or ceases to have a
place of business in Great Britain and the appointment of the process service agent named above ceases to be effective, the party concerned shall immediately (and in any event no later than 24 hours thereafter) appoint another person in England to
accept service of process on its behalf in England. If the party concerned fails to do so (and such failure continues for a period of not less than fourteen days), the Manager shall be entitled to appoint such a person by notice to that party.
