              The Loan
      will bear a floating interest, from (but excluding) the Issue Date to (and
      including) the Maturity Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each
      Interest Payment Date.

            

    

     

    -3-

    
 

    The amount of interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable per
Denomination on each Interest Payment Date will be calculated and determined by
the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following formula:-

    

    
      	
              SKr
      10,000,000 x (Floating Rate + 0.90%) x Day Count
  Fraction

            

    

    

    Where:-

    

    

    ”Day Count Fraction” means the
actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period divided by
360.

    

    “Floating Rate” means 3 months
STIBOR, which means that the rate for a  Reset Date will be the rate
for deposits of SKr for a period of 3 months which appears on
the  Reuter’s page ”SIDE” (or through such other system or on such
other page as shall replace the system or page stated) on the day that is two
(2) Business Days preceding that Reset Date. Fall Back Provision: please refer
to the definition of STIBOR above.

    

    ”Interest Period” means each
period beginning on (but excluding) the Issue Date, or any Interest Payment Date
and ending on (and including) the next Interest Payment Date. Each Interest
Period is 3 months. The final Interest Period runs from (but excluding) 17 July
2011 to (and including) the Maturity Date.

    

    “Interest Payment Dates” means
17 January, 17 April, 17 July and 17 October in each year, from and including 17
January 2009 to and including the Maturity Date. If an Interest Payment Date
falls on a day which is not a Business Day, such day shall be postponed to the
first following day that is a Business Day unless that day falls in the next
calendar month in which case that date will be the first preceding day that is a
Business Day.

    

    “Reference Banks” means four
major banks, as appointed by the Calculation Agent, quoting STIBOR at such
relevant time.

    

    ”Reset Date” means the first
day in each Interest Period.

    

    ”Representative Amount” means
an amount which is representative for one sole transaction in the Stockholm
interbank market at the relevant time (11.00 a.m. Stockholm time).

    

    In case the Calculation Agent cannot
determine the rate of interest due to such impediment as referred to in §18
section 1 below, the rate of interest for the nearest preceding Interest Period
will be applied. As soon as the impediment has ceased, the Calculation Agent
shall determine the new rate of interest in accordance with the definition of
STIBOR, to be applied from and including the second Business Day after the day
of determination for the remaining relevant Interest Period.

              Payment of
      principal and interest shall be made in the Currency in which the Loan has
      been issued to the person, who on the 5th
      (fifth) Business Day prior to the due date or on the Business Day closer
      to the due date which may generally be applied on the Swedish bond market
      (the "Record
      Date"), is the Bondholder.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              Where the
      Bondholder has specified, through an Account Operator, that an amount
      shall be deposited into a specified bank account, the deposit shall be
      made through VPC on the relevant payment date. Otherwise VPC will forward
      such amount to the address registered by VPC on the Record Date in respect
      of such Bondholder. In the event that any relevant payment date falls on a
      day which is not a Business Day, the amount shall be deposited on the
      first following day that is a Business Day unless that day falls in the
      next calendar month in which case that date will be the first preceding
      day that is a Business Day. For the avoidance of any doubt, interest shall
      only accrue up to but excluding the Maturity
  Date.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In the event
      that VPC, due to a delay of the Issuer or any other impediment, is unable
      to disburse the amounts in accordance with the above, the amount shall be
      disbursed by VPC, as soon as the impediment has ceased, to the person
      registered as Bondholder on the Record
Date.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In the event
      that the Issuer, due to an impediment of VPC, as described in §18 below,
      is unable to disburse the amount in accordance with the above, the amount
      shall be disbursed by VPC, as soon as the impediment ceases. In such case
      interest shall accrue in accordance with §8 section 2
    below.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In the event
      it transpires that any person to whom a payment has been made in
      accordance with the above was not entitled to receive such amount, VPC and
      the Issuer shall nevertheless be deemed to have fulfilled their payment
      obligation.  However, the aforementioned shall not apply where
      VPC and the Issuer knew that the amount had fallen into the wrong hands or
      failed to exercise the degree of care reasonably required in the
      circumstances.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
                          Notwithstanding
      anything contained in this § 6, VPC shall not participate in the making of
      any payment hereunder (and the Issuer shall instead make such payment
      without the participation of VPC) unless the Issuer, in accordance with
      §2, have confirmed to VPC that no United States taxes are required to be
      withheld from such payment.

              Interest
      on Overdue Amount

            

    

    

    In the event of late payment, interest shall
accrue on the overdue amount from and including the due date up to but excluding
the date of actual payment at a rate of interest equal to STIBOR for the term of
one week, during the period of the delay with an addition of two percentage
units. STIBOR shall, in such context, be determined on the first Business Day of
each calendar week during the period of delay. Subject to the provisions in the
second paragraph, interest on overdue amounts in respect of interest bearing
Loans shall in no case be less than the rate of interest applicable to the
relevant Loan on the relevant due date with an addition of two percentage units.
Interest on overdue amounts shall not be capitalised.

     

    -5-

    In the event that the delay is a consequence
of impediments encountered by the Issuer, Issuing Dealer or VPC as specified in
§18, section 1, interest on overdue amounts in respect of the Loan shall be
payable at a rate of interest which does not exceed the interest rate applicable
to the Loan on the relevant due date.

      date for payment. Amounts being reserved for payment that have been barred
      will be for the account of the

      years will start to run in respect of principal and 3 (three) years in
      respect of interest. In both cases the new period of limitation will
      commence on the day stipulated in the Limitations Act (1981:130) in

              The Issuing
      Dealer shall have the right, on behalf of each Bondholder, to declare the
      Loan together with any accrued interest thereon due and payable
      immediately or at such time as the Issuing Dealer may determine
      if:

            

    

    

    
      	
              a)

            	
              the Issuer
      does not pay on the due date any interest amount or the Maturity
      Redemption Amount due in respect of such part of the Loan, provided that a
      default which is due to a technical or administrative error should not be
      regarded as an event of default unless payment is delayed for more than
      two Business Days; or

            

    

    

    
      	
              b)

      Issuing Dealer’s opinion; or

            

    

    

    
      	
              c)

            	
              the Issuer

      14 Business Days, provided that the occurrence of any of the events
      described in this paragraph shall not constitute an Event of Default

      Group Company under the loan concerned exceeds U.S. Dollar 10,000,000 (ten
      million USD) or its equivalent in the currency in which the obligations in

      surety to reimburse a person for amounts paid as a result of such surety

      USD) or its equivalent in the currency in which the obligations in respect
      of which such event occurs are denominated;

              e)

    The Issuing Dealer shall have the right to
declare the Loan prematurely due and payable as a consequence of a circumstance
specified in sub-sections a) - e) above only in the event that such
circumstance, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuing Dealer, may have a
materially adverse effect on the interests of the Bondholders and, as a
consequence of a circumstance specified in sub-sections f) - i) above, with

authority, or shareholders' meeting, it is not necessary that such decision has
gained legal force and that the period for appeal has expired.

    

    The Issuer shall
immediately notify the Issuing Dealer upon the occurrence of a circumstance
specified in sub-sections a) - j) above. In the absence of such notice, the
Issuing Dealer shall have the right to assume that no such circumstance has
occurred or is expected to occur, provided that the Issuing Dealer do not have
knowledge to the contrary. Upon reasonable request from the Issuing Dealer, the
Issuer shall provide the Issuing Dealer with a certificate regarding the
circumstances specified in this section. In addition, the Issuer shall provide
the Issuing Dealer with further information, which a Issuing Dealer may request
regarding the circumstances specified in this section and, upon request from
Issuing Dealer, provide it with any relevant document(s).

      obligation to provide information pursuant to the preceding paragraph is
      only applicable provided that it does not violate rules issued by, or set
      forth in contracts with, an exchange or authorised marketplace on which
      the Issuer’s or a Group Company’s shares or debt instruments are listed,
      or otherwise does not violate applicable law or regulations issued by a
      governmental authority.

            

    

    

    §
11     Change of Control

    

    If at any time
while any Bond hereunder remains outstanding a Change of Control has occurred (a
“Put Event”), the
Issuing Dealer, on behalf of the Bondholder’s, will have the option to require
the Issuer to redeem that Bond on the Optional Redemption Date (as defined
below) at its Redemption Amount (as defined in §7), together with accrued
interest to and including the Optional Redemption Date.

    

    A “Change of Control” shall be
deemed to have occurred at each time (whether or not approved by the Board of
Directors or the Executive Board of the Issuer) that any person (“Relevant Person”) or persons
acting in concert or any person or persons acting on behalf of any such
person(s), at any time directly or indirectly owns or acquires, (A) more than 50
per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Issuer or (B) such number
of the shares in the capital of the Issuer carrying more than 50 per cent. of
the voting rights normally exercisable at a general meeting of the Issuer,
provided that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if the
shareholders of the Relevant Person are also, or immediately prior to the event
which would otherwise constitute a Change of Control were, all of the
shareholders of the Issuer.

    

    Promptly upon the
Issuer becoming aware that a Put Event has occurred, the Issuer shall give
notice (a “Put Event
Notice”) to the Bondholders in accordance with §14 specifying the nature
of the Put Event and the circumstances giving rise to it and the procedure for
exercising the option contained in this §11.

    

    To exercise the
option to require redemption of a Bond under this §11 the holder of that Bond
must deliver such Bond, on any Business Day falling within the period (the
“Put Period”) of 45 days
after a Put Event Notice is given, to the Account Operator, accompanied by a
duly signed and completed notice of exercise (a “Put Option Notice”) and in
which the holder must specify the relevant VP-account to which payment is to be
made under this §11. The Account Operator to which such Bond and Put Option
Notice are delivered will issue to the holder concerned a non-transferable
receipt (a “Put Option
Receipt”) in respect of the Bond so delivered.

     

    -8-

    The Issuer shall
redeem the Bonds, in respect of which Put Option Receipts have been issued, 60
days after the bondholder has received the Put Event Notice (the Optional Redemption Date),
unless previously redeemed and purchased. Payment in respect of any Bond so
delivered will be made on the Optional Redemption Date.

    

    §12      Covenants

    

    The Issuer undertakes as long as any amount
hereunder remains outstanding:

    

    
      	
              a)

            	
              not to
      provide any security or permit any third party to provide security -
      either in the form of a guarantee or otherwise - for other market loans
      which have been incurred or may be raised by the
    Issuer.

            

    

    

    
      	
              b)

            	
              not to
      provide security for market loans - in any form other than a guarantee,
      which in turn may not be secured - which have been incurred or may be
      incurred by a party other than the Issuer;
and

            

    

    

    
      	
              c)

            	
              to ensure
      that all Group Companies, in their own borrowing, comply with the
      provisions of subsections a) and b) above with respect to market loans -
      in which context the relevant subsidiaries shall be subject to the
      provisions applicable to the Issuer subject to the exception, however,
      that the Issuer or a Group Company may provide guarantees for other Group
      Companies which in turn may not be
secured.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              In each case
      unless if the Issuing Dealer’s consent to the giving of collateral, or, if
      at least comparably valuable security is provided to the Bondholders at
      the same time.

            

    

    

    "Market loans" as used above
means loans in exchange for the issuance of commercial paper, bonds or other
securities (including medium term notes or other market loan programmes), which
are sold, brokered, or invested pursuant to an organised procedure.

      calculations and determinations made by the Calculation Agent shall (save
      in the case of manifest error) be final and binding upon all
      parties.  The Calculation Agent shall have no responsibility for
      good faith errors or omissions in any calculation made by it as provided

              In the event
      that a change in circumstances not accounted for herein occurs which in
      the reasonable opinion of the Calculation Agent requires changes in these
      terms and conditions, then the Issuer shall be entitled to make such
      adjustments of the terms hereof as the Calculation Agent in its sole and
      absolute discretion shall deem necessary in order to preserve to the
      largest extent possible to the Issuer and the Bondholder in the original
      economic basis hereunder.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The Issuer
      shall inform the Bondholder of any changes which may be made in accordance
      with this section as soon as practicable
  thereafter.

      The rate of

      Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, accrued interest on each Loan is payable
by the Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for that Loan and also,
if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six
monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period.

                If the
      Borrowerr fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance
      Documents, it shall forthwith on demand by the Lender pay interest on the
      overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment, as well
      after as before judgment, at a rate (the default rate) determined by the
      Lender to be one per cent. per annum above the higher
    of:

                the rate on
      the overdue amount under Clause 9.1 (Interest rate) immediately
      before the due date (if of principal) and the rate which would have been
      payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment,
      constituted a Loan of the overdue amount for such successive Interest
      Periods of such duration as the Lender may determine (a Designated Interest
      Period).

                The default
      rate will be determined by reference to STIBOR on each Business Day or the
      first day of, or two Business Days before the first day of, the relevant
      Designated Interest Period, as
appropriate.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (c)

              	
                If the
      default rate is to be determined by reference to STIBOR and the Lender
      determines that deposits in the currency of the overdue amount are not at
      the relevant time being made available by the Reference Banks to leading
      banks in the Stockholm interbank market, the default rate will be
      determined by reference to the cost of funds to the Lender from whatever
      sources it may select.

subject to any taxes.  If any tax or amounts in respect of tax must be
deducted, or any other deductions must be made, from any amounts payable or paid
by the Borrower under the Finance Documents, the Borrower shall pay such
additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Lender receives a net
amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment not
been made subject to tax or any other deduction.

Lender evidence satisfactory to it (including all relevant tax receipts) that
the payment has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.

      relation to any amounts paid or payable from the Borrower under the
      Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any sum received or
      receivable under this Clause 11) or any such liability in respect of any
      such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against such the
      Lender, the Borrower shall, upon demand of the Lender, promptly indemnify
      the Lender against such payment or liability, together with any interest,
      penalties and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith, except
      and to the extent that:

                such
      liability or interest, penalties or expenses arises out of a failure to
      comply with the relevant filing, certification or other reporting
      requirements stipulated by the relevant tax authority in the jurisdiction
      of the Lender in connection with such requirement to make any such payment
      on account of tax.

                The Lender
      (the Existing
      Bank) may, subject to paragraph (b) below, at any time assign
      or transfer any of its Commitments and/or its rights and/or obligations
      under this Agreement to another bank or financial institution (the New Bank). If the Lender
      should assign any of its rights and obligations according to this Clause
      25, an amended agreement on the same terms but reflecting the requirement
      for agency provisions and several lenders shall be entered into in
      replacement of this Agreement if the Lender so
  requires.

                A transfer
      of part of the Commitment must be in a minimum amount of at least SEK
      100,000,000 or the remaining Commitment, if
  less;

                the prior
      consent of the Borrower is required for any such assignment or transfer,
      unless the New Bank is an Affiliate of the Lender or unless an Event of
      Default has occurred which is continuing.  However, the prior
      consent of the Borrower must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and
      will be deemed to have been given if, within ten Business Days of receipt
      by the Borrower of an application for consent, it has not been expressly
      refused.

                Nothing in

      obligation if the Lender remains liable under this Agreement for that
      obligation.

                DISCLOSURE
      OF INFORMATION

              

      

       

      The Lender shall
keep confidential any and all information made available to it by the Borrower
pursuant to or in connection with the Finance Documents, other than
information:

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (a)

              	
                which at the
      relevant time is in the public domain;
or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (b)

              	
                which, after
      such information has been made available to the Lender, becomes generally
      available to third parties by publication or otherwise through no breach
      of this Clause 25 by the Lender; or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (c)

              	
                which was
      lawfully in the possession of the Lender or its advisers prior to such
      disclosure (as evidenced by that Bank's written records or the written
      records of the Lender's advisers) and which was not acquired directly or
      indirectly from the Borrower; or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (d)

              	
                the
      disclosure of which is required by law or any competent regulatory body
      (to the extent of that requirement) or which is necessitated by any legal
      proceeding or audit requirement; or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (e)

              	
                the
      disclosure of which is made to an Affiliate of that Bank in circumstances
      where it is that Bank's usual practice to make such disclosure or where
      such disclosure is required as part of that Bank's management or reporting
      policies or where such disclosure is in the reasonable opinion of that
      Bank required to protect its position, or to assist in the recovery of
      amounts, hereunder; or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (f)

              	
                the
      disclosure of which is made to any person with whom it is proposing to
      enter, or has entered, into any kind of transfer, participation or other
      agreement in relation to this Agreement;
or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (g)

              	
                the
      disclosure of which is made by that Bank to its professional advisers;
      or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (h)

              	
                which is
      disclosed to another party to this Agreement in the specific circumstances
      whereby it is made available to that
party,

              

      

       

      provided that, if
a Bank makes such information available to any person in accordance with
paragraphs (d), (e), (f) or (g) above, it takes reasonable endeavours to ensure
that such party keeps that information confidential to the same extent as set
out above.

       

      
        	
                26.

              	
                SET-OFF

              

      

       

      The Lender may set
off any matured obligation owed by the Borrower under the Finance Documents (to
the extent beneficially owned by the Lender) against any obligation (whether or
not matured) owed by the Lender to the Borrower, regardless of the place of
payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.  If the
obligations are in different currencies, the Lender may convert either
obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the
purpose of the set-off.  If either obligation is unliquidated or
unascertained, the Lender may set off in an amount estimated by it in good faith
to be the amount of that obligation.

       

      

       

      
        	
                27.

              	
                SEVERABILITY

              

      

       

      If a provision of
any Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (a)

              	
                the validity
      or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of the
      Finance Documents; or

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (b)

              	
                the validity
      or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision of
      the Finance Documents.

              

      

       

      
        	
                28.

              	
                COUNTERPARTS

              

      

       

      Each Finance
Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same
effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the
Finance Document.

                Giving
      of notices

              

      

       

      All notices or
other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be given
in writing and, unless otherwise stated, may be made by letter or facsimile or,
in the case of information provided by the Borrower or the Lender in relation to
Clauses 16.2 (Financial information) and 16.3 (Information - miscellaneous)
only, by e-mail.  Any such notice will be deemed to be given as
follows:

      letter, when delivered personally or on actual receipt;
  and

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (b)

              	
                if by
      facsimile, when received in legible
form.

              

      

       

      However, a notice
given in accordance with the above but received on a non-working day or after
business hours in the place of receipt will only be deemed to be given on the
next working day in that place.

      foreign legal enactment, or any measure undertaken by a Swedish or foreign
      public authority, or war, strike, lockout, boycott, blockade or any other
      similar circumstance. The reservation in respect of strikes, lockouts,
      boycotts and blockades applies even if the Lender takes such measures, or

      responsible for any indirect damage, consequential damage and/or loss of
      profit.

                The courts

      exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in
