GENERAL

SECTION 2.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, upon any application or request by
the Company to an Agent to take any action in accordance with any provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall furnish to the Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent,
if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with,
except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such
document is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular
application or request, no additional certificate need be furnished.

SECTION 2.02. Form of Documents Delivered to an Agent.

     In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give

6

Table of Contents

an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Any certificate or opinion of an
officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the
matters upon which its certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or
Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company unless such counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 2.03. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders of the Units may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
the relevant Agent and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Agreement and (subject to Section 8.01) conclusive in favor of the relevant Agent and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved in any manner which an Agent deems sufficient.

     (c) The ownership of Units shall be proved by the Units Register.

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Unit shall bind every future Holder of the same Unit and the Holder of every
Certificate evidencing such Unit issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Certificate.

     (e) The Company may set any date as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Outstanding Units entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made
or taken by Holders of Units. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of
the Outstanding Units on such record date, and no other Holders of Units, shall be entitled to take
the relevant action with respect to the Units, whether or not such Holders remain Holders of Units
after such record date; provided that no such action shall be

Table of Contents

effective hereunder unless taken prior to or on the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of
the requisite number of Outstanding Units on such record date. Nothing contained in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date
previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and be of no
effect), and nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Units on the date such action is
taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders of Units and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Agent in writing and to each Holder of Units in the
manner set forth in Section 11.02.

     With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), the Company may
designate any date as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to
any later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the Agent in writing, and to each Holder of Units in the manner set
forth in Section 11.02, prior to or on the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not
designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be
deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date
with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this
paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day
after the applicable record date.

SECTION 2.04. Forms of Unit Certificates Generally.

     The Unit Certificates shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, with such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements
printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as may be required to comply with any applicable law or
the rules of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or any Clearing System therefor,
or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Officers of the Company executing such Unit
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Unit Certificates.

SECTION 2.05. Form of Agent’s Certificate of Authentication.

     The form of the certificate of authentication of the Units shall be substantially in the form
set forth on the form of the Unit Certificate.

SECTION 2.06. Amount; Form and Denominations.

     The Unit Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a
single Unit or any integral multiple thereof. The number of Unit Certificates which may be issued
at any time under this Agreement is unlimited, provided that the total number of Units represented
by Unit Certificates may not at any time exceed the total number of then outstanding Preference
Shares and Amortizing Bonds held by the Unit Agent.

Table of Contents

SECTION 2.07. Rights and Obligations Evidenced by the Unit Certificates.

     Each Unit Certificate shall evidence the number of Units specified therein, where each such
Unit shall consist of one Preference Share and one Amortizing Bond.

SECTION 2.08. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     Two Officers shall sign the Unit Certificates for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.

     If an Officer whose signature is on a Unit Certificate no longer holds that office at the time
the Unit Certificate is authenticated, the Unit Certificate shall nevertheless be valid.

     A Unit Certificate shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Agent
or an authenticating agent appointed by the Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Unit Certificate has been authenticated under this Agreement.

     The Agent shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Unit Certificates in the
amount provided in a Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Agent of a
Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or
electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Unit Certificate shall be dated the date
of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate.

     The aggregate principal amount of Unit Certificates outstanding at any time may not exceed any
limit upon the maximum amount set forth in any applicable Board Resolution or Officers’
Certificate.

     The Agent may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the
Unit Certificates. An authenticating agent may authenticate Unit Certificates whenever the Agent
may do so. Each reference in this Agreement to authentication by the Agent includes authentication
by any such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal
with the Company.

     Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and at any time and from time to time
thereafter, the Company may pursuant to a Company Order require the Agent to authenticate and
deliver Unit Certificates in accordance with such Company Order.

     No Unit Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Unit Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by a Responsible Officer of
the Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Unit Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Unit Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.09. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Registrar shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration and
transfers of Units (the “Unit Register”).

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Unit Certificate to the Agent at the
Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Unit Certificates evidencing the same number of Units.

     At the option of the Holder, Unit Certificates may be exchanged for other Unit Certificates,
of any authorized denominations and evidencing the same number of Units, upon surrender of the Unit
Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Unit Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall
authenticate and deliver the Unit Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

     All Unit Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Unit
Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Units and be entitled to the same
benefits and subject to the same obligations under this Agreement as the Units evidenced by the
Unit Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Unit Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
(if so required by the Agent or the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Agent duly executed, by the
Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Unit
Certificate and the Company shall pay, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such amount as is
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Unit Certificates, including any exchanges pursuant to
Sections 2.13 and 9.04 not involving any transfer.

SECTION 2.10. Units: Book-Entry Interests.

     The Unit Certificates will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global
Certificates, to be delivered to the Common Depositary or its nominee by, or on behalf of, the
Company. The Company hereby designates Euroclear and Clearstream as the initial Clearing Systems
for the Units. Such Unit Certificates shall be registered on the books and records of the Company
in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a
definitive Unit Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such global
Certificate.

     The Company and the Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Common Depositary or its nominee
for all purposes of this Agreement as the Holder of the Units and the sole holder of the global
Certificates of Units and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners of the Units.

10

Table of Contents

     To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of
this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control.

     The rights of the Beneficial Owners of the Units shall be exercised only through the Clearing
Systems in accordance with the customary procedures of the Clearing Systems or Clearing System
Participants through which Beneficial Owners of Units hold their Book-Entry Interests.

     Transfers of Units evidenced by global Certificates shall be made through the facilities of
the Clearing Systems, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such
securities (including the separation of Units pursuant to Section 3.02) shall be accomplished by
making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of Decreases for such global Certificates.

SECTION 2.11. Notices to Holders Only.

     Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders of Units is required to be given under
this Agreement, the Company or the Company’s agent shall give such notices and communications to
the Holders of Units and the Company or the Company’s agent shall have no obligations to the
Beneficial Owners.

SECTION 2.12. Appointment of Successor Clearing System.

     If a Clearing System elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect
to the Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Clearing System with
respect to the Units.

SECTION 2.13. No Definitive Unit Certificates.

     No definitive Certificates in respect of Units shall be issued. If both Euroclear and
Clearstream notify the Company that they are unwilling or unable to continue their services as
securities depositary with respect to the Units and no successor Clearing System has been appointed
pursuant to Section 2.12 within 60 days after such notice then (1) the Agent shall separate all
Units and cancel the Unit Certificates and (2) deliver the Separated Securities (in global form or
in definitive certificates, as required under the Articles for Preference Shares and under the
Indenture for Amortizing Bonds) previously held in the form of Units to the Holders of the Unit
Certificates cancelled pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 2.14. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Unit Certificates.

     If any mutilated Unit Certificate is surrendered to the Agent, the Company shall execute and
deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Unit
Certificate, evidencing the same number of Units and bearing a Unit Certificate number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Unit Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may

11

Table of Contents

be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Agent that such Unit Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent, upon the
Company’s request, shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Unit Certificate, a new Unit Certificate, evidencing the same number of Units and
bearing a Unit Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding. The Company and the Agent
shall have no obligation to determine whether any such Unit Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser.

     Upon the issuance of any new Unit Certificate under this Section, the Company and the Agent
may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of the Agent) connected therewith.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude, to the extent lawful, all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Unit Certificates.

SECTION 2.15. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company and the Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Agent, may treat the Person in
whose name such Unit Certificate is registered as the owner of the Units evidenced thereby for
purposes of (subject to any applicable record date) any payment in respect of the Units, whether or
not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Agent,
shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
Unit Certificate, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Agent, or any agent of
the Company or the Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Common Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder of Units, with
respect to such Unit Certificate, or impair, as between such Clearing System and the related
Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the
Common Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Unit Certificate. None of the Company, Agent
or any agent of the Company or the Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Unit
Certificate or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

SECTION 2.16. Cancellation.

     In addition to cancellation of the Units pursuant to Sections 3.02, 5.01, 5.02 and 6.02, the
Company may at any time deliver to the Agent for cancellation any Unit Certificates previously
authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Unit Certificates so delivered shall, upon a Company Order, be promptly
cancelled by the Agent. No Unit Certificates shall be authenticated and delivered in lieu of or in
exchange for any Unit Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Unit Certificates held by the Agent shall be

12

Table of Contents

disposed of in accordance with its customary practices. Upon cancellation of the applicable
Units, the Agent shall deliver the Preference Shares and Amortizing Bonds (in global form or in
definitive certificates, as required under the Articles for Preference Shares and under the
Indenture for Amortizing Bonds) previously held in the form of Units to the Company.

     If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Unit Certificate, such
acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Unit Certificate unless and until such Unit
Certificate is delivered to the Agent cancelled or for cancellation.

SECTION 2.17. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

     Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Agreement shall include:

      (i) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read
such covenant or condition;

      (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or
opinion are based;

      (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed
opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

      (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 2.18. Preference Shares: Book-Entry Interests.

     The CPS Certificates will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Certificates,
to be delivered to The Bank of New York or its nominee by, or on behalf of, the Company. The
Company hereby designates Euroclear and Clearstream as the initial Clearing Systems for the CPS
Certificates. Such CPS Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of the
Company in the name of The Bank of New York or its nominee. No Beneficial Owner of the Preference
Shares will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest, except
as provided in Section 2.19. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates have been
issued to Beneficial Owners of the Preference Shares pursuant to Section 2.19:

      (i) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall be in full force and effect;

      (ii) the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to deal with the registered
holder of the CPS Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement as the sole holder
of such CPS Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

13

Table of Contents

      (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.18 conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall
prevail; and

      (iv) the rights of the Beneficial Owners of the Preference Shares, who shall
have no rights under this Agreement with respect to the Company, shall be exercised
only through the Clearing Systems in accordance with the customary procedures of the
Clearing Systems or Clearing System Participants through which Beneficial Owners of
Preference Shares hold their Book-Entry Interests.

     Transfers of beneficial interests in the Preference Shares held either in the form of Units or
on a stand-alone basis shall be made through the facilities of the Clearing Systems, and any
cancellation of Units shall be reflected by making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of
Decreases for CPS Certificates. The Company and the Agent from time to time shall agree on the
detailed administrative procedures regarding the cancellation and issuance of CPS Certificates upon
the redemption, conversion or cancellation of the Preference Shares.

SECTION 2.19. Preference Shares: Definitive Certificates.

     If both Euroclear and Clearstream notify the Company that they are unwilling or unable to
continue to serve as Clearing System with respect to the Preference Shares and no successor
Clearing System has been appointed within 60 days after such notice then (1) definitive
Certificates evidencing the Preference Shares shall be provided by the Company to the Agent and (2)
upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing the Preference Shares by the Common Depositary or the
Unit Agent (as the case may be), accompanied by registration instructions from Clearing Systems,
the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance
with the instructions of the Clearing Systems. The Company and the Agent shall not be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall be authorized and
protected in relying on, such instructions. All definitive Certificates so provided shall evidence
Preference Shares that are the same number as represented by the Certificates so surrendered in
respect thereof.

     For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 2.18 and 2.19 of this Agreement does not in any way
affect the rights of Holders of Preference Shares as described in Article 4A of the Articles.

ARTICLE 3

SECTION 3.01. The Units.

Bonds previously held in the form of Units (the “Separated Securities”) to the Holder. The Agent
shall deliver the Separated Securities to the Holder as soon as practicable and in any event no
later than three Business Days after the receipt of both of the Separation Notice and the
applicable Units by the Agent. After a Unit has been separated pursuant to this Section 3.02 into
its components, the components may not be reconstituted into a Unit.

     In addition to separation of Units at the option of the Holder as provided in the preceding
paragraph, Units shall automatically be separated by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.13, Section
2.16 and Articles 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

generality of Section 3.01, that the Holder of any Unit shall be entitled to exercise the voting
and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Preference Share or the Amortizing Bond related
to such Unit as if such Holder held the Preference Share and the Amortizing Bond on a stand-alone
basis and not in the form of such Unit.

     In the event of voting by Holders of Preference Shares in accordance with the Articles, the
Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each
Preference Share voted on.

SECTION 3.04. Notice.

     The Company, the Trustee and the Agent expressly acknowledge and agree, without affecting the
generality of Section 3.01, that the Holder of any Unit shall be entitled to receive any notices or
any other communications from the Company, the Trustee or the Agent pertaining to the Preference
Share or the Amortizing Bond related to such Unit as if such Holder held the Preference Share and
the Amortizing Bond on a stand-alone basis and not in the form of such Unit.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any delay in receipt by
Holders of any notices or any other communications from the Company to Holders of Units as long as
such notices or communications are provided in a timely manner to the Holders of the underlying
Amortizing Bonds and Preference Shares.

SECTION 7.01. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Agent or any Holder of the Units has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or has been determined adversely to the Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Agent and the Holders of the

Table of Contents

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Units in Section 2.14, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or

or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 7.03. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Agent or of any Holder of any Units to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any default under this Agreement shall impair any such right or remedy or

right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Agent or to the Holders of the Units may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Agents or by the
Holders of the Units, as the case may be.

its part, may, with respect to the Units or Preference Shares,
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Agent and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement, but in the case of any certificates or opinions which
by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to
the Agent, the Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Agreement.

      (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Agent from liability for
its own bad faith, its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

	 	(i)	 	this Subsection shall not be construed to limit
the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;

Table of Contents

      (c) The Agent may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misconduct, except that:

	 	(i)	 	this paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph (a)(i) and (a) (ii) of this Section; and

	 	(ii)	 	the Agent shall not be liable for any error of

care as are set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Agent.

SECTION 8.02. Notice of Default.

      If a default under this Agreement by the Company occurs and is continuing with respect to the
Units and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Agent, the Agent shall mail to each Holder
of the Units notice of a default under this Agreement by the Company within 90 days after it occurs
or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Agent has knowledge of such default. The Agent may
withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Holders of the Units.

SECTION 8.03. Certain Rights of the Agent.

      (1) The Agent may rely upon any documents that the Agent believes in good faith to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party. The Agent need not investigate any fact

      (2) Before the Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or
an Opinion of Counsel. The Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

      (3) The Agent may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care; provided that such agent agrees as a condition to

it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

      (5) The Agent may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

      (6) The Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall
have offered to the Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 8.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Units.

     The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Agent

the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Units, the Preference Shares or this Agreement
with regard to the Company.

SECTION 8.05. May Hold Units or Preference Shares.

     Any agent of the Company, or the Agent and its Affiliates, in their individual or any other
capacity, may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the owner or pledgee of Units or

it would have if it were not such agent, or the Agent. The Company or its Subsidiaries may become
the owner or pledgee of Units or Preference Shares to the extent permitted by applicable law and
references in this Agreement to the Company or its Subsidiaries being or becoming owner or pledgee

provided hereunder or agreed in writing with the Company.

SECTION 8.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company shall pay to the Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.
The Agent’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Company shall reimburse the Agent upon request for all reasonable out-

22

Table of Contents

of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Agent’s agents and counsel.

     The Company shall indemnify the Agent (including the cost of defending itself) against any
loss, liability or expense incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement as Agent. The Agent shall notify the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the
Agent shall cooperate in the defense. The Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made
without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall
apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Agent.

     The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred
by the Agent or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Agent through
negligence or bad faith.

     When the Agent incurs expenses or renders services after a default under this Agreement
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any relevant bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

SECTION 8.08. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     A resignation or removal of the Agent and appointment of a successor Agent shall become
effective only upon the successor Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.
The Agent may resign with respect to the Units by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Units may remove the Agent with respect to the Units by so notifying
the Agent and the Company. The Company may remove the Agent with respect to Units if:

            (1) the Agent is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with
respect to the Agent under any relevant bankruptcy or insolvency law;

            (2) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Agent or its property; or

            (3) the Agent becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Agent for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Agent. Within one year after the successor
Agent takes office, the Holders of a majority of the then Outstanding Units may appoint a successor
Agent to replace the successor Agent appointed by the Company.

     If a successor Agent with respect to the Units does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Agent, the Company or the Holders of at least
10% of the then Outstanding Units may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Agent.

23

Table of Contents

     A successor Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Agent
and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Agent shall transfer all property held by
it as Agent to the successor Agent subject to the lien provided for in Section 8.07, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Agent shall become effective, and the successor Agent shall
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Agent with respect to the Units. A successor Agent
shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of the Units. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 8.07 hereof shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring agent with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by
it prior to such replacement.

SECTION 8.09. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Agent, every such successor Agent so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Agent an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Agent shall become effective and such successor Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and duties of the retiring Agent; but, on
the request of the Company or the successor Agent, such retiring Agent shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Agent all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Agent and duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Agent all property and money held by such retiring Agent hereunder.

     (b) Upon request of any such successor Agent, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Agent all such
rights, powers and agencies referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

     (c) No successor Agent shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Agent shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 8.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which an Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Agent, shall be the successor of the Agent hereunder; provided that such Person
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Unit
Certificates shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Agent then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Agent may adopt such authentication and
execution and deliver the Certificates so authenticated and executed with the same effect as if
such successor Agent had itself authenticated and executed such Units.

SECTION 8.11. Preservation of Information.

     The Registrar shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and
addresses of Holders of Units received by the Registrar in its capacity as registrar.

24

SECTION 8.12. No Obligations of Agent.

     Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Agent assumes no
obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Agreement in respect of the
obligations of the Holder of any Unit or Preference Share hereunder. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Agent or its officers, directors,
employees or agents be liable under this Agreement to any third party for indirect, incidental,
special, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits,
whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the Agent and regardless of the
form of action.

SECTION 8.13. Tax Compliance.

     (a) The Agent shall comply in accordance with the terms hereof with any written direction
received from the Company with respect to the execution or certification of any required
documentation and the application of such requirements to particular payments or Holders or in
other particular circumstances, and may for purposes of this Agreement conclusively rely on any
such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(a)(iii).

     (b) The Agent shall maintain all appropriate records documenting compliance with such
requirements, and shall make such records available, on written request, to the Company or its
authorized representative within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such request.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS

SECTION 9.01. Supplemental Agreements Without Consent of Holders.

     Without the consent of any Holders of Units, the Company and the Agent may enter into one or
more agreements supplemental to this Agreement. Any such supplemental agreement may amend this
Agreement for any reason whatsoever. In the event that any such supplemental agreement prejudices
one or more of the substantial rights of the Holders of Units under this Agreement, such
supplemental agreement shall not become effective with respect to the outstanding Units until 30
days after the Agent notifies Holders of the Units of such amendment. At the time an amendment to
the terms of this Agreement becomes effective, the Holders of Units shall be deemed, by continuing
to hold their Units, to agree to such amendment and be bound by this Agreement as amended.

     No amendment of this Agreement shall be made that would vary the rights of the Holders of
Preference Shares or Amortizing Bonds. Any amendment to the rights of the Holders of Preference
Shares or Amortizing Bonds shall be made only in accordance with Article 4A of the Articles or the
Indenture, respectively. For the avoidance of any doubt, no supplemental agreement that in any way
amends the hours within which the Agent has agreed to accept a Conversion Notice in Section 6.01(a)
shall be effective unless approved in accordance with the Articles.

25

permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the agencies created by this Agreement
that in any way amend the hours within which the Agent has agreed to accept a Conversion Notice in
Section 6.01(a), the Agent shall be provided, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully
authorized and protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and an Officers’ Certificate
stating that any and all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such supplemental
agreement have been satisfied.

SECTION 9.03. Effect of Supplemental Agreements.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental agreement under this Article, this Agreement shall be
modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental agreement shall form a part of this
Agreement for all purposes; and every Holder of Unit Certificates theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder, shall be bound thereby.

SECTION 9.04. Reference to Supplemental Agreements.

     Unit Certificates authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
agreement pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Agent, bear a notation in form
approved by the Agent as to any matter provided for in such supplemental agreement. If the Company
shall so determine, new Unit Certificates so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Agent
and the Company, to any such supplemental agreement may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Agent in exchange for outstanding Unit Certificates.

Person, unless:

            (1) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the

Company substantially as an entirety (a) shall be a corporation, partnership or trust or other

an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease
and such supplemental agreement comply with the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement and
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied
with.

surviving corporation and to conveyances, leases and transfers by the Company as transferor or
lessor.

consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the

successor Person which shall theretofore become such in the manner described in Section 10.01),

SECTION 11.02. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of Units of any event, such notice shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Units affected by such event, at its address as it
appears in the Unit Register not later than the latest date (if any) and not earlier than the
earliest date (if any) prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders of Units is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed to any particular Holder of Units shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders of Units. Any notice mailed to a Holder of the Units in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such
Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders of Units shall be filed with the relevant Agent, but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of
giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Agent shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns.

respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.05. Separability Clause.

     In case any provision in this Agreement or in the Units shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and
thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.06. Benefits of Agreement.

     Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Units, express or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and, to the extent provided
hereby, the Holders, any benefits or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Agreement. The Holders from time to time shall be beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall be
bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and of the Units evidenced by their Unit
Certificates by their acceptance of delivery of such Unit Certificates.

remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Company or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are

          Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Company

manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either

notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplement Indenture, then any
manner of

newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid for the purposes of this section if published
in an English language newspaper selected by the Company with general circulation in the market
regions otherwise covered by the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. Any such notice shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on
different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent
of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other

paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such overdue principal
or interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such overdue principal or interest in each case

interest on such overdue interest herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Principal or Defaulted
Interest (as the case may be) to the Persons in whose names the Amortizing Bonds (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest, which shall
be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the

deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to
be paid in respect of such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest (as the case may be) or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest (as the case may be) as
in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest (as the case may be) which shall
be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in

Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Principal or Defaulted Interest (as the case may be) and the Special Record Date therefor
having been so given, such Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest (as the case may be)
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Amortizing Bonds (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Principal or Defaulted Interest (as

be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable
by the Trustee.

Amortizing Bonds in cash at a Repayment Price equal to (1) 101% of the

Repayment Event is given (the “Repayment Notice Date”) in accordance with
Section 12.6 minus (2) any principal due between the Repayment Notice Date and the

Remaining Principal Amount for one Amortizing Bond with an original principal
amount of $1,556.76, and the denomination or denominations of the Amortizing
Bond or Amortizing Bonds to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the
principal amount of such Amortizing Bond surrendered that is not to be repaid,

such Amortizing Bond would be less than the Remaining Principal Amount for one

the repayment option by the Holder of any Amortizing Bond shall be irrevocable
unless waived by the Company.

not be so paid upon surrender thereof, such Repayment Price (together with interest,

interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest borne by the Amortizing
Bonds.

any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due.

Section 4.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 4.1(5) of this
Supplemental Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in Remaining Principal Amount of the Amortizing Bonds Outstanding may
declare the Remaining Principal Amount of all the Amortizing Bonds to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and
upon any such declaration such Remaining Principal Amount of all Amortizing Bonds shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(5) shall occur, the
Remaining Principal Amount of all outstanding Amortizing Bonds shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder.

          At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this
Article, the Holders of a majority in Remaining Principal Amount of the Amortizing Bonds
Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if

          (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay,

     (A) all overdue interest on all Amortizing Bonds Outstanding,

     (B) all unpaid principal of any Amortizing Bonds Outstanding which has become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid
principal at the rate borne by the Amortizing Bonds,

20

Table of Contents

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
interest at the rate borne by the Amortizing Bonds, and

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel; and

     (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of or
interest on Amortizing Bonds which have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Section 4.2.

          No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 4.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          The Company covenants that if

     (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Amortizing
Bond when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or

     (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Amortizing Bond at the
Maturity thereof,

          the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee (but no such demand shall be required in the case
of an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(5)), pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders of such Amortizing Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable on such Amortizing Bonds
for principal and interest, and interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the
rate borne by the Amortizing Bonds, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

          If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the
sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce
the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Amortizing Bonds and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon the Amortizing Bonds, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Supplemental Indenture or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

any of its Material Subsidiaries under any agreement, understanding or arrangement
pursuant to which the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries has incurred

          For the purposes of this Section 5.2 only:

          “Indebtedness” means any obligation for the payment or repayment of money borrowed.

Section 5.3 Payment of Principal, Interest and Additional Amounts.

          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Amortizing Bonds in accordance with the terms
of the Amortizing Bonds and this Supplemental Indenture.

          All payments of or in respect of principal of and interest on the Amortizing Bonds 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 imposed or levied by or on behalf of
Singapore or any authority of or in Singapore having authority to tax unless these taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted. In the event of such
withholding or deduction, the Company agrees to pay by way of additional interest such additional
amounts of, or in respect of, principal, and interest as will result (after deduction of such
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges of Singapore) in the payment to each Holder of an Amortizing Bond of the
amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Amortizing Bond had no withholding or
deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:

     (i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been
imposed but for the fact that such Holder:

24

Table of Contents

     (A) was for Singapore tax purposes treated as a resident of Singapore or who is
otherwise subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges by
reason of being connected with Singapore other than through the mere ownership of,
or receipt of payment under, such Amortizing Bond; or

     (B) presented such Amortizing Bond more than 30 calendar days after the date on
which the payment in respect of such Amortizing Bond first became due and payable or
provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have
been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Amortizing Bond
for payment on any day within such period of 30 calendar days;

     (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax,
assessment or other governmental charge;

     (iii) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise
than by deduction or withholding from the payment of principal of or interest on the
Amortizing Bonds;

     (iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of an Amortizing
Bond with a reasonable request by the Company addressed to the Holder (A) to provide
information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such
beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any
reasonable information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) or (B), is
required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of Singapore
as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge; or

     (v) any combination of the items listed above;

     nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or
interest on any Amortizing Bond to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other
than the sole beneficial owner of the payment if the beneficial owner would not otherwise
have been entitled to the Additional Amounts.

          Any reference herein to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Amortizing Bond
shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Supplemental
Indenture to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
under this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 5.4 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company will maintain in Singapore and London an office or agency where Amortizing Bonds
may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Amortizing Bonds may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Amortizing Bonds and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The principal office
of the Company shall serve as the office or agency of the Company in Singapore. The office of the
Trustee in London shall serve as such office or agency of the Company in London. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such offices or
agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required offices or agencies
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the addresses thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and

25

Table of Contents

demands may be made or served at the offices of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints
the Trustee as its Paying Agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The Security Register of the Amortizing Bonds will be kept by the Trustee in London.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside of London) where the Amortizing Bonds may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in London for such purposes and provided, further, that the Company shall be
required at all times to maintain such an office or agency in each place of payment for the
Amortizing Bonds. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 5.5 Reports to Holders

          Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Amortizing Bonds remain outstanding, the Company
shall, (A) provide the Trustee and the Holders with the annual reports and information, documents
and reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a
foreign private issuer subject to such Sections within 15 days after the times specified for the
filing of the information, documents and reports under such Sections; and (B) file with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, to the extent permitted, the information, documents, and
reports referred to in the provision above within the periods specified for such filings under the
Exchange Act (whether or not applicable to the Company).

          In addition, at any time when the Company is not subject to, or the Company is not current in
reporting obligations under the provisions above, the Company shall make available, upon request,
to any Holder and any prospective purchaser of the Amortizing Bonds the information required
pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.

specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holder of the

27

Bonds as follows:

in trust for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After
that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors
unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. All liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the
English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such

          The principal and interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Payment Date will, as provided in such Supplemental Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Amortizing Bond (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such principal and interest, which shall be the February 2 or August

Any such principal and interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such overdue interest, and (to
the extent lawful) interest on such overdue interest at the rate borne by the Amortizing Bonds, may
be paid to the Person in whose name this Amortizing Bond (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Principal or Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Amortizing Bonds not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid
at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Amortizing Bonds may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Supplemental Indenture. Payment of the principal
of and interest on this Amortizing Bond will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in London or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be
maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that
payments on an Amortizing Bond in definitive certificated form can be made at the option of the
Company by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in
the United States.

          Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Amortizing Bond set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.

          This Amortizing Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated

(except as otherwise provided in the Supplemental Indenture referred to below) in aggregate
principal amount of up to US$46,702,800, which may be issued under an indenture, dated as of April

from time to time be supplemented or amended by one more supplemental indentures entered into
between the Company and The Bank of New York pursuant to the applicable provisions thereof,
including, for all purposes of this instrument and any such supplemental indenture, the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act that are deemed to be a part of and govern this instrument and any such
supplemental indenture, respectively (the “Indenture”), as supplemented by a fourth
supplemental indenture (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of August 17,
2005, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called the
“Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Supplemental Indenture), to
which Indenture and Supplemental Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Amortizing Bonds, and of the terms upon which the
Amortizing Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

          This Amortizing Bond may be redeemed or repurchased as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture
and summarized below. This Amortizing Bond is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole
but not in part, on any date at a Redemption Price equal to the Remaining Principal Amount (as
defined in the Supplemental Indenture) of this Amortizing Bond, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date, if the Company determines that, as a result of (A) any change in
or amendment to the laws or regulations of Singapore or any authority of or in Singapore having
power to tax, or rulings promulgated under any such laws or regulations or by any authority of or
in Singapore having power to tax, (B) any change in the general application or official or judicial
interpretation of any such laws, regulations or rulings, or (C) any change in the general
application or official or judicial interpretation of, or any execution or amendment to, any treaty
or treaties affecting taxation to which Singapore is a party, which change, execution or amendment,
in each case, becomes effective on or after August 17, 2005, the Company has been or will be

subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof upon the occurrence of
certain Repayment Events described in Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture (including events
relating to change of control of the Company), at a Repayment Price equal to (1) 101% of the
Remaining Principal Amount of this Amortizing Bond minus (2) any principal due between the
Repayment Notice Date and Repayment Date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Repayment
Date. In order to be repaid at the option of the Holder, this Amortizing Bond, with the “Notice to

in writing), must be received by the Company at its office or agency maintained for that purpose in
London, or Singapore, not later than the date specified by the Company in its notice of the
Repayment Event in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Supplemental Indenture. Exercise of such
option by the Holder of this Amortizing Bond shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date or Repayment Date will be
payable to the Holders of such Amortizing Bonds, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record

Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Amortizing Bonds, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Supplemental Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Supplemental Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the
Holder of this Amortizing Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future

Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders
of a majority in Remaining Principal Amount of Amortizing Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days
after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Amortizing Bond for the enforcement of any payment of
principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

limitations therein set forth, the Amortizing Bonds are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Amortizing Bonds of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Amortizing
Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
