Condition 6(e) to be deleted and replaced with the following:

"(e) Redemption at the option of the Noteholders

If, at any time while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Potential Put
Event occurs and during the Relevant Period, or (other than where the Potential
Put Event is a Category II Restructuring Event) prior to the commencement of the
Relevant Period, an Independent Financial Adviser shall have certified in
writing to the Trustee that such Potential Put Event will not be or is not, in
its opinion, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders, the
following provisions of this Condition 6(e) shall cease to have any further
effect in relation to such Potential Put Event.

If, at any time while any of the Notes remains outstanding, a Potential Put
Event occurs and an Independent Financial Advisor shall have certified in
writing to the Trustee that such Potential Put Event is, in its opinion,
materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders (a "NEGATIVE
CERTIFICATION"), then, unless at any time the Issuer shall have given a notice
under Condition 6 (c), the holder of each Note will, upon the giving of a Put
Event Notice (as defined below), have the option (the "PUT OPTION") to require
the Issuer to redeem or, at the option of the Issuer, purchase (or procure the
purchase of) that Note on the Put Date (as defined below), at its Put Event
Redemption Amount together with (or, where purchased, together with an amount
equal to) interest (if any) accrued to (but excluding) the Put Date.

Any certification by an Independent Financial Adviser as aforesaid as to whether
or not, in its opinion any Potential Put Event is materially prejudicial to the
interests of the Noteholders shall in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor and the
Noteholders.

Promptly upon, and in any event within 14 days after, the Issuer becoming aware
that a Potential Put Event has occurred, the Issuer shall, and at any time upon
the Trustee becoming similarly so aware the Trustee may, and if so requested by
the holders of at least one-quarter in nominal amount of the Notes then
outstanding shall, give notice (a "PUT EVENT NOTICE") to the Noteholders in
accordance with Condition 16 specifying the nature of the Potential Put Event
and the procedure for exercising the Put Option, provided that where the
Potential Put Event is a Category II Restructuring Event the Issuer shall again
give such notice 90 days prior to the Revocation Date (such latter notice, a
"CATEGORY II PUT EVENT NOTICE").

To exercise the Put Option, the holder of a Note must deposit such Note with any
Paying Agent at its specified office, on a day which is a Business Day in the
City of London and in the place of such specified office falling within the
period (the "PUT PERIOD") of (i), in the case where the Put Option is in respect
of an event other than a Category II Restructuring Event, 45 days after that on
which a Put Event Notice is given or (ii) otherwise, at any time up to 15 days
prior to the Put Date, accompanied by a duly completed and signed notice of
exercise in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from any specified
office of any paying Agent (a "PUT NOTICE") and in which the holder may specify
a bank account to which payment is to be made under this Condition 6. Where any
Note is delivered without all Coupons relating to it which mature after the day
(the "PUT DATE") being (i) in the case where the Put Option is in respect of an
event other than a Category II Restructuring Event, the fifteenth day after the
date of expiry of the Put Period or (ii) otherwise, the Revocation Date
(provided that such day is a Business Day in the City of London, otherwise the
next day which is a Business Day in the City of London), the exercise of the Put
Option in respect of such Note shall be subject to the provision of such
indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. The Paying Agent to which such


<PAGE>


Note and Put Notice are delivered shall issue to the Noteholder concerned a
non-transferable receipt on respect of the Note so delivered. Payment in respect
of any Note so delivered shall be made, if the holder duly specifies in the Put
Notice an account with a bank to which payment is to be made, on the Put Date by
transfer to that bank account and, in every other case, on or after the Put Date
in each case against presentation and surrender or (as the case may be)
endorsement of such receipt at any specified office of any Paying Agent. A Put
Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. For the purposes of Conditions 9, 10,
11, 12, 14, 16, and 17 and for certain other purposes specified in the Trust
Deed, receipts issued pursuant to this Condition 6(e) shall be treated as if
they were Notes. The Issuer shall redeem or, at the option of the Issuer,
purchase (or procure the purchase of) the relevant Note on the applicable Put
Date unless previously redeemed or purchased.

The Trustee is under no obligation to ascertain whether a Potential Put Event or
any event which could lead to the occurrence of, or could constitute a,
Potential Put Event has occurred and until it shall have actual knowledge or
express notice to the contrary, the Trustee may assume that no Potential Put
Event or such other event has occurred.

In this Condition 6(e):

"BUSINESS DAY" means, in relation to any place, a day on which commercial banks
and foreign exchange markets generally settle payments in that place.

"CATEGORY I RESTRUCTURING EVENT" means the occurrence of any one or more of the

          licence and provided that the giving of notice pursuant to paragraph 3
          of Part 1 of PES Licence in each case as in effect on the date of the
          Pricing Supplement, or any other similar provision in any other PES
          Licence, shall not be deemed to constitute the revocation of the PES
          Licence); or

     (bb) the Guarantor or the holder of the PES Licence agrees in writing with
          the Secretary of State and/or Director General of Electricity Supply
          to any revocation or surrender of the PES Licence; or

          terminating or revoking the PES Licence,

(B)  any modification (other than a modification which is of a formal, minor or
     technical nature) is made to the terms and conditions of then PES Licence

          the Trustee to be not materially less favourable to the business of
          the Group; or

     (bb) a holder of the PES Licence is given notice pursuant to Clause 67.3.2
          of the Pooling and Settlement Agreement requiring it to cease to be a

          unremedied or unwaived; or

     (dd) any modification (other than a modification which is of a formal,
          minor or technical nature) is made to the Pooling and Settlement
          Agreement on or after the date of the Pricing Supplement, unless two
          directors of the Guarantor have certified in good faith to the Trustee
          that any such modification has not had and will not have a materially
          adverse effect on the financial rights and obligations of a holder of
          the PES Licence under the Pooling and Settlement Agreement or a
          materially adverse effect on the business of the Group, provided that
          any such modification shall, to the extent it grants or confers powers
          or discretions on the Director General of Electricity Supply (or any
          successor) under or in respect of the Pooling and Settlement
          Agreement, be deemed not to have a materially adverse effect as
          aforesaid, but for the avoidance of doubt any modification to the
          Pooling and Settlement Agreement made by the Director General of
          Electricity Supply (or any successor) by virtue of or pursuant to any
          such powers or discretion and which otherwise would have a materially
          adverse effect as provided above shall not by virtue of this
          sub-paragraph be deemed to have such an effect; or

     (ee) a holder of the PES Licence ceases to be a party to the Pooling and
          Settlement Agreement for any other reason (other than pursuant to (bb)

          to one or more Subsidiaries as contemplated by sub-paragraph (A) above
          and at or about the same time all rights and obligations of such
          holder pursuant to the Pooling of Settlement Agreement which are
          attributable to such licence(s) are assigned and transferred to such
          Subsidiary and/or Subsidiaries in such manner as the Trustee may

          agreements, commercial arrangements or open market mechanisms or
          frameworks in relation to such licence(s) which two directors of each
          of the Issuer and Guarantor certify to be not materially less
          favourable to the business of the Group; or

(D)  any legislation (whether primary or subordinate) is enacted which removes,
     qualifies or amends (other than an amendment which if of a formal, minor or
     technical nature) the duties of the Secretary of State and/or the Director
     General of Electricity Supply under Section 3 of the Electricity Act as in
     force on the date of the Pricing Supplement, unless two directors of the
     Guarantor have certified in good faith to the Trustee that such removal,
     qualification or amendment is unlikely to have a materially adverse effect
     on the financial condition of the Group or any Relevant Subsidiary.
