trustee (being a Trust Corporation) of this Trust Deed be appointed in accordance with

contrary notwithstanding.

deliver to the Trustee or the Trustee’s predecessor and also to the Company an

payable on the Bond shall be a good discharge to the Company, notwithstanding any
notice it may have, whether express or otherwise, of the right, title, interest or
claim of any other person to or in such Bond, interest or money. No notice of any
trust, express, implied or constructive shall be entered on the Register in respect of
any Bond.

original or any intermediate holder of the Bond.

custody of such money or for interest thereon and the Trustee shall be entitled to
deduct the expenses incurred by it in arranging such deposit.

conclusive evidence of repayment or replacement or such purchase and
cancellation pro tanto of the Bonds.

43

transfer accompanied by the relative Certificate delivered to the Registrar. The
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may treat the registered
Bondholder(s) of any Bond as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Bond
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing on the
Certificate thereof or any notice of previous loss or theft or of trust or other
interest therein) and the Register of Bondholders shall (in the absence of fraud,
wilful default, bad faith and manifest error) at all times be conclusive evidence of

actually received by the Bondholders (“the payment currency”) when converted on the
date of payment at the rate of exchange falls short of the amount payable under the
Bonds the Company as a separate and independent obligation shall pay as an additional
payment such shortfall. For the purpose of this Clause “rate of exchange” means the
rate at which US Dollars may be lawfully purchased on the date of such payment with

respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be
increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction
or withholding, the Paying Agent receives (free from any liability in respect of any
such deduction or withholding) a net amount equal to the sum which it would have

meeting or adjourned meeting but the Trustee shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be
concerned with the validity of or the authority of the proxies named in any such form of
proxy.

instructions pursuant to which it was executed provided that no intimation in writing of such
revocation or amendment shall have been received by the Trustee at its Registered Office for
the time being (or such other place as may have been approved
