Any such waiver, authorisation or determination may be given or made on such terms and subject to such conditions (if any) as the Note Trustee may determine, shall be binding on the Noteholders and, if, but only if, the Note Trustee shall so require, shall be notified by the Second Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with CONDITION 14 as soon as practicable thereafter. The provisions of this CLAUSE 18(A) shall be in lieu of section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Deed and the Second Issuer Notes, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. (B) MODIFICATION (i) The Note Trustee may without the consent or sanction of the Noteholders at any time and from time to time concur with the Second Issuer in making any modification (except a Basic Terms Modification (as defined in PARAGRAPH 5 of SCHEDULE 4 hereto)) (i) to these presents or any of the other Transaction Documents which in the opinion of the Note Trustee it may be proper to make PROVIDED THAT the Note Trustee is of the opinion that such modification will not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders of each class of Second Issuer Notes or (ii) to these presents or any of the other Transaction Documents if in the opinion of the Note Trustee such modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is necessary to correct a manifest error. Any such modification may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions (if any) as the Note Trustee may determine, shall be binding upon the Noteholders and, unless the Note Trustee agrees otherwise, shall be notified by the Second Issuer to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies in accordance with CONDITION 14 as soon as practicable thereafter. (ii) So long as any of the Second Issuer Notes are rated by the Rating Agencies, the Second Issuer shall notify the Rating Agencies in writing as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter of any modification to the provisions of these presents, the Second Issuer Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(C) BREACH Any breach of or failure to comply with any such terms and conditions as are referred to in SUBCLAUSES (A) and (B) of this Clause shall constitute a default by the Second Issuer in the - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- performance or observance of a covenant or provision binding on it under or pursuant to these presents. 19. ENTITLEMENT TO TREAT NOTEHOLDER AS ABSOLUTE OWNER The Second Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) deem and treat the registered holder of any Second Issuer Note or of a particular principal amount of the Second Issuer Notes as the absolute owner of such Second Issuer Note or principal amount, as the case may be, for all purposes (whether or not such Second Issuer Note or principal amount shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership thereof or of trust or other interest with regard thereto, any notice of loss or theft thereof or any writing thereon), and the Second Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to any such registered holder of a Definitive Second Issuer Note or Global Second Issuer Note shall be valid and, to the extent of the sums so paid, effective to satisfy and discharge the liability for the monies payable in respect of such Second Issuer Note or principal amount, as the case may be. 20. CURRENCY INDEMNITY The Second Issuer shall indemnify the Note Trustee, every appointee of the Note Trustee and the Noteholders and keep them indemnified against: (a) any liability incurred by any of them arising from the non-payment by the Second Issuer of any amount due to the Note Trustee or the Noteholders under these presents by reason of any variation in the rates of exchange between those used for the purposes of calculating the amount due under a judgment or order in respect thereof and those prevailing at the date of actual payment by the Second Issuer; and (b) any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the local currency equivalent of the amounts due or contingently due under these presents (other than this Clause) is calculated for the purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Second Issuer and (ii) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. The amount of such deficiency shall be deemed not to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any distribution of assets in connection with any such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. The above indemnity (and the indemnities given by the Second Issuer in CLAUSE 14(E) and CLAUSE 15(L)) shall constitute obligations of the Second Issuer separate and independent from its obligations under the other provisions of these presents and the Second Issuer Notes and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Note Trustee or the Noteholders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the judgment or filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Second Issuer for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under these presents (other than this Clause). Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Noteholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Second Issuer or its liquidator or liquidators. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21. ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION; NEW NOTE TRUSTEE (A) ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION This Deed shall always have a Note Trustee which shall be eligible to act as Note Trustee under Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Note Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If the Note Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Note Trustee and the Second Issuer shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any deed or deeds under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Second Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. If at any time the Note Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this CLAUSE 21(A), the Note Trustee shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect specified in CLAUSE 22. (B) NEW NOTE TRUSTEE (a) Subject to PARAGRAPH (B) below the power to appoint a new trustee of these presents shall be vested in the Second Issuer but no person shall be appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Second Issuer Noteholders, the Class B Second Issuer Noteholders and the Class C Second Issuer Noteholders. One or more persons may hold office as trustee or trustees of these presents but such trustee or trustees shall be or include a Trust Corporation. Whenever there shall be more than two trustees of these presents the majority of such trustees shall be competent to execute and exercise all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested in the Note Trustee by these presents provided that a Trust Corporation shall be included in such majority. Any appointment of a new trustee of these presents shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the Second Issuer to the Principal Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. (b) Any new trustee must (i) meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the US Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) not be an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Second Issuer or of any person involved in the organisation or operation of the Second Issuer; (iii) not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Second Issuer; and (iv) execute an agreement or instrument concerning the Second Issuer Notes containing provisions to the effect set forth in Section 26(a)(3) of the US Investment Company Act of 1940. (C) SEPARATE AND CO-TRUSTEES Notwithstanding the provisions of SUB-CLAUSE (B) above, the Note Trustee may, upon giving prior notice to the Second Issuer (but without requiring the consent of the Second Issuer or the Noteholders), appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a Trust Corporation or not) to act either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Note Trustee: (i) if the Note Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders; - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (ii) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts is or are to be performed; or (iii) for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of these presents or any of the other Transaction Documents against the Second Issuer or any other party thereto. The Second Issuer irrevocably appoints the Note Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any such instrument of appointment. Such a person shall (subject always to the provisions of these presents) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Note Trustee by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Note Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration as the Note Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee, shall for the purposes of this Deed be treated as costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Note Trustee. 22. NOTE TRUSTEE'S RETIREMENT AND REMOVAL A trustee of this Deed may retire at any time on giving not less than three months' prior written notice to the Second Issuer without giving any reason and without being responsible for any costs incurred by reason of such retirement. The Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution of each class of Noteholders remove any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents. The Second Issuer undertakes that in the event of the only trustee of these presents which is a Trust Corporation giving notice under this Clause or being removed by Extraordinary Resolution of each class of Noteholders it will use its best endeavours to procure that a new trustee of these presents being a Trust Corporation is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The retirement or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed.

Subject to PARAGRAPH 12 below, if at any such meeting a poll is so demanded it shall be taken in such manner and subject as hereinafter provided either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll.

The Chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any such meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully (but for lack of required quorum) have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 12.
