      Fourth  Issuer  Closing Date and the date of the  issue  of  such  Global
      Fourth Issuer Note:

      (a)    (in the case  of  Dollar  Global  Fourth  Issuer  Notes)  DTC  has
             notified  the  Fourth  Issuer  that it is at any time unwilling or
             unable to continue as the registered  holder of such Dollar Global

             agency under the Exchange Act is not  able  to be appointed by the
             Fourth Issuer within 90 days of such notification, or (in the case
             of  the  Reg  S  Global  Fourth Issuer Notes) both  Euroclear  and

             and do so cease to do business and no alternative  clearing system
             satisfactory to the Note Trustee is available; and

      (b)    as  a  result  of  any  amendment  to,  or change in, the laws  or
             regulations  of  the  United  Kingdom (or of  any  political  sub-
             division thereof) or of any authority  therein  or  thereof having
             power  to  tax  or  in the interpretation or administration  by  a
             revenue authority or  a  court  or  administration of such laws or
             regulations which becomes effective on  or after the Fourth Issuer
             Closing Date, the Fourth Issuer or any Paying  Agent is or will be
             required to make any deduction or withholding from  any payment in
             respect  of  the  Fourth Issuer Notes which would not be  required
             were the Fourth Issuer Notes in definitive form.

      If required by this CLAUSE 3,  the  Fourth Issuer shall, at its sole cost
      and expense within 30 days of the occurrence of the relevant event, issue
      Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes of the  same  class as the class of Fourth
      Issuer Notes represented by the relevant Global  Fourth  Issuer  Note  in
      exchange  for  the  whole  (or  the remaining part(s) outstanding) of the
      relevant Global Fourth Issuer Note.   If  Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes
      are  issued,  the beneficial interests represented by the  Reg  S  Global
      Fourth Issuer Notes of each class shall be exchanged by the Fourth Issuer
      for Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes of that class (REG S DEFINITIVE FOURTH
      ISSUER NOTES) and  the  beneficial  interests  represented  by the Dollar
      Global Fourth Issuer Note of each class shall be exchanged by  the Fourth
      Issuer   for  Definitive  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  of  that  class  (DOLLAR
      DEFINITIVE FOURTH ISSUER NOTES).

3.6   The  Definitive  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  shall be  printed or typed in, or
      substantially   in,  the  form  set  out  in  in  the   denomination  and
      transferable  in units of (a) U.S.$1,000 and  U.S.$10,000 (in the case of

      the Series 4 Fourth Issuer Notes (other than the Series 4 Class A2 Fourth
      Issuer  Notes) and the Series 5 Fourth  Issuer  Notes must be higher than
      e500,000) as the Note Trustee shall  determine and notify to the relevant
      Noteholders, shall be serially numbered and shall be

                                       7

      also set out in Schedule 2. Title to the  Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes
      shall  pass by and upon  the  registration  in the  Register  in  respect
      thereof  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  these  presents.  The
      Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes shall be issuable only in registered form
      without coupons or talons attached and signed manually or in facsimile by
      a person duly  authorised  by or on behalf of the Fourth Issuer and shall
      be  authenticated  by or on behalf of the  Registrar.  Each Fourth Issuer
      Note  so  executed  and  authenticated  shall  be  a  binding  and  valid
      obligation of the Fourth Issuer notwithstanding that such duly authorised
      person (for whatever  reason) no longer holds that office at the time the
      Registrar authenticates the Fourth Issuer Note.

3.7   If the  Fourth  Issuer is  obliged  to issue or  procure  the issue of any
      Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes  pursuant to CLAUSE 3.5 but fails to do so
      within 30 days of the occurrence of the relevant event described in CLAUSE
      3.5,  then  the  Fourth  Issuer  shall  indemnify  the Note  Trustee,  the
      registered  holder of the relevant  Global Fourth  Issuer  Note(s) and the
      relevant Noteholders and keep them indemnified against any and all loss or
      damage incurred by any of them if the amount received by the Note Trustee,
      the registered holder of such Global Fourth Issuer Note(s) or the relevant
      Noteholders  in respect of the Fourth Issuer Notes is less than the amount
      that would have been  received  had  Definitive  Fourth  Issuer Notes been
      issued in  accordance  with  CLAUSE  3.5. If and for so long as the Fourth
      Issuer discharges its obligations under this indemnity,  the breach by the
      Fourth Issuer of the  provisions of CLAUSE 3.5 shall be deemed to be cured
      ab initio.

4.    REPLACEMENT OF FOURTH ISSUER NOTES

      If a mutilated or defaced Global  Fourth Issuer Note or Definitive Fourth
      Issuer Note is surrendered to the Registrar  or  Transfer  Agent  or if a
      Noteholder  claims  that a Global Fourth Issuer Note or Definitive Fourth
      Issuer Note has been  lost,  stolen or destroyed, the Fourth Issuer shall
      issue, and the Registrar shall  authenticate, a replacement Global Fourth
      Issuer Note or Definitive Fourth Issuer Note, respectively, on receipt of
      satisfactory evidence in accordance  with CONDITION 13.  An indemnity for
      an  amount sufficient in the judgement  of  the  Fourth  Issuer  and  the
      Registrar  to  protect  the Fourth Issuer and the Registrar from any loss
      which  any of them may suffer  if  a  Global  Fourth  Issuer  Note  or  a
      Definitive  Fourth  Issuer Note is replaced may be required by the Fourth
      Issuer and the Registrar.   The  Fourth Issuer may charge such Noteholder
      for its costs in replacing such Fourth Issuer Note.

      Issuer  Notes,  U.S.$1,000 or U.S.$10,000; in the case of  the  Series  4
      Fourth  Issuer  Notes  (other  than the  Series 4 Class A2 Fourth  Issuer
      Notes) and the Series 5 Fourth Issuer Notes, e500,000; and in the case of
      the Series 4 Class A2 Fourth Issuer Notes,  [GBP]1,000 or [GBP]10,000 or,
      in  each  case,   any  integral   multiple   thereof  or  in  such  other

      (other than the Series 4 Class A2 Fourth  Issuer  Notes) and the Series 5
      Fourth  Issuer  Notes must be higher than  e500,000)  as the Note Trustee
      shall determine and notify to the relevant  Noteholders.  When Definitive
      Fourth Issuer Notes are presented by a Noteholder to the Registrar with a
      request to register the transfer of such Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes,
      the  Registrar  shall  register the  transfer as  requested  only if such
      Definitive   Fourth  Issuer  Notes  are  presented  or  surrendered   for
      registration  of transfer  and are endorsed or  accompanied  by a written
      instrument  of  transfer  in  form  satisfactory  to the  Registrar  duly
      executed by such Noteholder or by his attorney duly authorised in writing

      necessary  to  evidence  compliance  with the  restrictions  on  transfer
      contained in this  Agreement  and in the Fourth  Issuer  Paying Agent and

      Issuer  to  issue  and  the  Registrar  shall  itself   authenticate  new
      Definitive  Fourth Issuer Notes required to be issued in connection  with
      such transfer.  In the case of a transfer of part only of such Definitive
      Fourth Issuer Note, a new Definitive Fourth Issuer Note in respect of the
      balance not transferred  will be issued to the transferor.  All transfers
      of  Definitive  Fourth  Issuer Notes are subject to any  restrictions  on
      transfer  set  forth  on such  Definitive  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  and the
      detailed  regulations  concerning  transfers in the Fourth  Issuer Paying
      Agent and Agent Bank Agreement.

      be at such rate and to be paid on such dates as may from  time to time be

      rate of remuneration  in  force  from  time  to  time  may upon the final
      redemption  of  the  whole  of the Fourth Issuer Notes of any  series  be
      reduced by such amount as shall  be  agreed in writing between the Fourth
      Issuer and the Note Trustee, such reduced  remuneration  to be calculated
      from such date as shall be agreed as aforesaid.  Such remuneration  shall
      accrue  from  day  to  day and be payable (in priority to payments to the
      Noteholders) up to and including  the  date  when,  all the Fourth Issuer
      Notes  having  become  due  for  redemption,  the redemption  monies  and
      interest  thereon  to  the  date  of redemption have  been  paid  to  the
      Principal Paying Agent or, as the case  may be, the Note Trustee PROVIDED
      THAT if upon due presentation of any Fourth  Issuer  Note  or  any cheque
      payment  of  the monies due in respect thereof is improperly withheld  or
      refused, remuneration  will  commence  again  to  accrue until payment to
      Noteholders is made.

14.2  In  the event of the occurrence of a Note Event of Default  or  the  Note
      Trustee  in  its  absolute  discretion considering it necessary, or being
      requested by the Fourth Issuer to undertake duties which the Note Trustee
      and the Fourth Issuer agree to  be  of an exceptional nature or otherwise
      outside the scope of the normal duties  of  the  Note  Trustee under this
      Deed,  the  Fourth  Issuer shall pay to the Note Trustee such  additional
      remuneration as shall be agreed between them.

14.3  The Fourth Issuer shall  pay  to  the  Note Trustee in addition an amount
      equal to the amount of any value added tax  or  similar tax chargeable in
      respect of its remuneration under this Deed against production of a valid
      tax invoice.

14.4  In the event of the Note Trustee and the Fourth Issuer failing to agree:

      (a)   (in a case to which SUBCLAUSE 14.1 above applies) upon the amount of
            the remuneration; or

      (b)   (in a case to which SUBCLAUSE 14.2 applies) upon whether such duties
            shall be of an exceptional  nature or otherwise outside the scope of
            the normal  duties of the Note Trustee under this Deed, or upon such
            additional remuneration,

      such matters shall be determined by a merchant or investment bank (acting
      as an expert and not as  an  arbitrator) selected by the Note Trustee and
      approved by the Fourth Issuer  or,  failing  such approval, nominated (on
      the application of the Note Trustee) by the President  for the time being
      of  The Law Society of England and Wales (the expenses involved  in  such
      nomination and the fees of such merchant or investment bank being payable
      by the  Fourth  Issuer)  and  the  determination  of any such merchant or
      investment bank shall be final and binding upon the  Note Trustee and the
      Fourth Issuer.

                                       19



14.5  In addition to remuneration hereunder, the Fourth Issuer shall on written
      request pay (on an indemnity basis) all other costs, charges and expenses
      which the Note Trustee may properly incur in relation to the negotiation,
      preparation  and  execution  of,  the  exercise  of  its powers  and  the
      performance of its duties under, and in any other manner  in relation to,
      this Deed and any other Transaction Document to which the Note Trustee is
      a  party,  including  but  not  limited to travelling and legal  expenses
      properly incurred and any stamp,  issue,  registration,  documentary  and
      other  similar  taxes  or  duties  paid or payable by the Note Trustee in
      connection with any action taken or  contemplated  by or on behalf of the
      Note Trustee for enforcing, or for any other purpose in relation to, this
      Deed or any of the other Transaction Documents.

14.6  All amounts  payable  pursuant to SUBCLAUSE 14.5 and/or CLAUSE 15(l) shall
      be payable by the Fourth Issuer on the date  specified in a written demand
      by the Note Trustee and in the case of payments  actually made by the Note

      such demand and the Note Trustee so requires)  carry  interest at the rate
      of 3 per cent. per annum above the mean base rate from time to time of the

      cases  shall  (if not paid on the date  specified  in such  demand  or, if
      later,  within three days after such demand and, in either case,  the Note
      Trustee so requires)  carry  interest at such rate from the date specified
      in such demand.  All remuneration  payable to the Note Trustee shall carry
      interest at such rate from the due date therefor.

14.7  Unless  otherwise  specifically  stated in any  discharge of this Deed the
      provisions  of this Clause and CLAUSE  15(l) shall  continue in full force
      and effect notwithstanding such discharge.

14.8  The  Note  Trustee shall  be  entitled  in  its  absolute  discretion  to
      determine  in  respect  of  which  series  of  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  any
      liabilities incurred under this Deed have been incurred.

15.   SUPPLEMENT TO TRUSTEE ACTS

      Section 1 of  the  Trustee  Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the
      Trustee in relation to the trusts  constituted  by these presents.  Where
      there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Acts and the provisions
      of these presents, the provisions of these presents  shall, to the extent
      allowed  by law, prevail and, in the case of any such inconsistency  with
      the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of these presents shall constitute a
      restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

      The Note Trustee shall have all the powers  conferred upon trustees by the
      Trustee Act 1925 of England and Wales and by way of supplement  thereto it
      is expressly  declared as follows (which  provisions,  except as expressly
      provided in this CLAUSE 15, shall be in lieu of the  provisions  contained
      in Section 315(a) of the Trust Indenture Act):

      (a)   EXPERT ADVICE OR OPINION:  the Note Trustee may in relation to these
            presents  or the other  Transaction  Documents  act on the advice or

            accountant,  surveyor,  banker,  broker,  auctioneer or other expert
            whether  obtained  by the  Fourth  Issuer,  the  Note  Trustee,  the
            Principal  Paying Agent, the Registrar or otherwise and shall not be
            responsible for any liability occasioned by so acting in good faith;
            any such advice,  opinion or information  may be sent or obtained by
            letter, telex, telegram,  facsimile  transmission,  e- mail or cable
            and the Note  Trustee  shall not be liable for acting on any advice,
            opinion or information purporting to be conveyed by any such letter,
            telex,  telegram,  facsimile transmission or cable although the same
            shall contain some error or shall not be authentic;

                                       20


      (b)   CERTIFICATE  AS SUFFICIENT  EVIDENCE:  the Note Trustee may call for
            and shall be at liberty to accept as sufficient evidence of any fact
            or  matter  or  the  expediency  of  any   transaction  or  thing  a
            certificate signed by any two directors of the Fourth Issuer and the
            Note Trustee shall not be bound in any such case to call for further
            evidence or be responsible  for any liability that may be occasioned
            by it or any other person acting on such certificate;

      (c)   CUSTODY OF  DOCUMENTS:  the Note Trustee shall be at liberty to hold
            these presents and any other documents relating thereto or any other
            Transaction  Documents  or to deposit  them in any part of the world
            with any  banker  or  banking  company  or  company  whose  business
            includes undertaking the safe custody of documents or lawyer or firm
            of lawyers  considered  by the Note Trustee to be of good repute and
            the Note Trustee shall not be responsible  for or required to insure
            against any liability  incurred in connection  with any such holding
            or deposit and may pay all sums required to be paid on account of or
            in respect of any such deposit;

      (d)   APPLICATION  OF PROCEEDS:  the Note Trustee shall not be responsible
            for the receipt or  application  of the proceeds of the issue of any

            Global Fourth  Issuer Note for another  Global Fourth Issuer Note or
            Definitive  Fourth  Issuer Notes or the  exchange of any  Definitive
            Fourth Issuer Note for another  Definitive Fourth Issuer Note or the
            delivery  of any Global  Fourth  Issuer  Note or  Definitive  Fourth
            Issuer Notes to the person(s) entitled to it or them;

      (e)   ASSUMPTION OF NO DEFAULT: except to the extent required pursuant to
            Section  315(b) of the Trust  Indenture Act, the Note Trustee shall
            not be bound to give notice to any person of the  execution  of any
            documents comprised or referred to in these presents or to take any
            steps to  ascertain  whether any Note Event of Default has happened
            and, until it shall have actual  written  notice  pursuant to these
            presents to the  contrary,  the Note  Trustee  shall be entitled to
            assume  that no Note Event of  Default  has  occurred  and that the
            Fourth Issuer is observing and  performing  all of its  obligations
            under these presents;

      (f)   ABSOLUTE  DISCRETION:  save as expressly  otherwise provided in this
            Deed,  the  Note  Trustee  shall  have  absolute  and   uncontrolled
            discretion as to the exercise or non-exercise of its trusts, powers,
            authorities  and  discretions  under these presents (the exercise or
            non-exercise   of  which  as  between  the  Note   Trustee  and  the
            Noteholders  shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders) and
            provided it shall not have acted  fraudulently  or negligently or in
            breach of the terms of this Deed,  shall not be responsible  for any
            liability which may result from their exercise or non-exercise;

      (g)   RELIANCE ON EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION:  the Note Trustee shall not be
            liable  to  any   person  by  reason  of  having   acted   upon  any
            Extraordinary  Resolution in writing or any Extraordinary Resolution
            or other resolution purporting to have been passed at any meeting of
            the  Noteholders  of all or any class or classes in respect  whereof
            minutes  have been made and signed  even  though  subsequent  to its
            acting  it  may  be  found  that  there  was  some   defect  in  the
            constitution  of the meeting or the passing of the resolution or (in
            the case of an  Extraordinary  Resolution  in writing)  that not all
            Noteholders had signed the Extraordinary  Resolution or that for any
            reason  the   resolution   was  not  valid  or  binding   upon  such
            Noteholders;

      (h)   RELIANCE ON NOTICE OF PREPAYMENT:  without prejudice to the right of
            the Note Trustee to require  and/or accept any other  evidence,  the
            Note  Trustee  may  accept as  conclusive  evidence  of the  matters
            certified  therein  a  certificate  signed by two


                                       21


            directors  of the Fourth  Issuer under  CLAUSE  13(s)(ii).  The Note
            Trustee shall have no responsibility to the Noteholders or any other
            person  for  guaranteeing  or  ensuring  that  the  Fourth  Issuer's
            liabilities  in  respect of the  Fourth  Issuer  Notes and any other
            amounts  are in fact  discharged  on the due date and shall  have no
            liability to the  Noteholders or any other person for any failure by
            the Fourth  Issuer to  discharge or pay such  liabilities  and other
            amounts;

      (i)   FOURTH ISSUER CHARGED PROPERTY:  the Note Trustee may accept without
            enquiry,  requisition  or objection  such title as the Fourth Issuer
            may have to the Fourth Issuer  Charged  Property or any part thereof
            from time to time and shall not be bound to  investigate or make any
            enquiry  into the title of the Fourth  Issuer to the  Fourth  Issuer
            Charged  Property or any part  thereof  from time to time whether or
            not any  default or  failure is or was known to the Note  Trustee or
            might be, or might have been,  discovered upon examination,  inquiry
            or   investigation   and   whether   or  not   capable   of  remedy.
            Notwithstanding  the  generality of the foregoing,  each  Noteholder
            shall be solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal
            of and investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness,
            condition,  affairs, status and nature of the Fourth Issuer, and the
            Note Trustee shall not at any time have any  responsibility  for the
            same and each  Noteholder  shall  not  rely on the Note  Trustee  in
            respect thereof;

      (j)   RELIANCE ON  CERTIFICATES OR  CONFIRMATIONS:  except in the event of
            wilful default or manifest error, the Note Trustee shall be entitled

            confirmation of the Agent Bank, any Paying Agent,  any Rating Agency
            or any  Reference  Bank in respect of every matter and  circumstance
            for which a  certificate  or  confirmation  of the Agent  Bank,  any
            Paying Agent,  any Rating Agency or any Reference  Bank is expressly
            provided  for under  these  presents,  the  Conditions  or any other
            Transaction  Document and to call for and rely upon a certificate or
            confirmation of the Agent Bank, any Paying Agent,  any Rating Agency
            or any  Reference  Bank or any other  person as to any other fact or
            matter  prima facie  within the  knowledge  of the Agent  Bank,  any
            Paying Agent,  any Rating Agency or any Reference Bank or such other
            person,  as sufficient  evidence  thereof and the Note Trustee shall
            not be bound in any such  case to call for  further  evidence  or be
            responsible for any loss,  liability,  costs,  damages,  expenses or
            inconvenience  that may be occasioned by its failing so to do or the
            exercise or  non-exercise  by the Note Trustee of any of its powers,
            duties and discretions hereunder;

      (k)   FOURTH  ISSUER NOTES NOT  AUTHENTIC:  the Note Trustee  shall not be
            liable to any  person by reason of having  accepted  as valid or not
            having  rejected any Fourth  Issuer Note  purporting  to be such and
            subsequently found to be forged or not authentic;

      (l)   INDEMNITY:  without prejudice to the right of indemnity by law given
            to  trustees,  the Fourth  Issuer shall  indemnify  the Note Trustee
            (except where the Note Trustee is  indemnified  by the  Noteholders)
            and keep it or him  indemnified  against all liabilities to which it
            or he may be or become subject or which may be incurred by it or him
            in the proper  execution or purported proper execution of any of its
            or his  trusts,  powers,  authorities  and  discretions  under these
            presents or any other  Transaction  Document or its or his functions
            under any such  appointment  or in  respect  of any other  matter or
            thing done or omitted in any way  relating to these  presents or any
            other  Transaction  Document  or any  such  appointment  save to the
            extent  that the same arises as a result of wilful  default,  wilful
            misconduct,  fraud  or  breach  of  trust  on the  part of the  Note
            Trustee.  The Note Trustee shall keep the Fourth Issuer  informed of
            the progress of any claims against the Note Trustee;

                                       22


      (m)   CONSENT  OR  APPROVAL:  any  consent or  approval  given by the Note
            Trustee  for the  purposes of these  presents  or the Fourth  Issuer
            Notes may be given on such terms and subject to such  conditions (if
            any)  as the  Note  Trustee  thinks  fit  (acting  reasonably)  and,
            notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary in these  presents or the
            Fourth Issuer Notes, may be given retrospectively;

      (n)   NO DISCLOSURE OBLIGATION:  unless and to the extent ordered so to do
            by a court of competent jurisdiction,  the Note Trustee shall not be
            required to disclose to any Noteholder any  information  (including,
            without  limitation,  information  of a  confidential,  financial or
            price  sensitive  nature) made  available to the Note Trustee by the
            Fourth Issuer or any other person in connection  with these presents
            or any  other  Transaction  Document  and  no  Noteholder  shall  be
            entitled to take any action to obtain from the Note Trustee any such
            information;

      (o)   CURRENCY  CONVERSION:  where it is necessary  or  desirable  for any
            purpose in  connection  with these  presents to convert any sum from
            one  currency  to another it shall be  converted  (unless  otherwise
            provided  by these  presents  or  required  by law) at such  rate or
            rates,  in  accordance  with such method and as at such date for the
            determination of such rate of exchange, as may be agreed by the Note
            Trustee in consultation  with the Fourth Issuer and any rate, method
            and date so agreed  shall be binding  on the  Fourth  Issuer and the
            Noteholders;

      (p)   CERTIFICATE IN RESPECT OF MATERIAL  PREJUDICE:  the Note Trustee may
            certify  whether or not any of the  conditions,  events and acts set
            out in CONDITION 9 (each of which conditions, events and acts shall,
            unless the Note Trustee in its absolute  discretion  shall otherwise
            determine,  for all the  purposes  of these  presents  be  deemed to
            include the  circumstances  resulting  therein and the  consequences
            resulting therefrom) is in its opinion materially prejudicial to the
            interests of the  Noteholders  of the relevant  class or classes and
            any such certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon the Fourth
            Issuer and the Noteholders;

      (q)   DETERMINATION  BY NOTE TRUSTEE:  the Note Trustee as between  itself
            and the  Noteholders  may determine all questions and doubts arising

            determination,  whether or not  relating  in whole or in part to the
            acts or  proceedings  of the Note Trustee,  shall be conclusive  and
            shall bind the Note Trustee and the Noteholders;

      (r)   INTERESTS OF  NOTEHOLDERS:  in  connection  with the exercise by the
            Note  Trustee  of  any  of  its  trusts,   duties,  rights,  powers,
            authorities  and  discretions  under  these  presents  and the other
            Transaction Documents:

            (i)   where it is required to have  regard to the  interests  of the
                  Noteholders  of  any  class,  it  shall  have  regard  to  the
                  interests of such  Noteholders  as a class and, in  particular
                  but without  prejudice  to the  generality  of the  foregoing,
                  shall not have  regard  to, or be in any way liable  for,  the
                  consequences   of  any   exercise   thereof   for   individual
                  Noteholders   resulting  from  their  being  for  any  purpose
                  domiciled  or resident  in, or otherwise  connected  with,  or
                  subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory,  and
                  the Note Trustee  shall not be entitled to require,  nor shall
                  any Noteholder be entitled to claim, from the Fourth Issuer or
                  any other person, any indemnification or payment in respect of
                  any tax  consequence  of any  such  exercise  upon  individual
                  Noteholders;

            (ii)  except  where  expressly  provided  otherwise,  it shall  have
                  regard  to  the   interests  of  the  Class  A  Fourth  Issuer
                  Noteholders,  the Class B Fourth Issuer

                                       23


                  Noteholders,  the Class M Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders  and the
                  Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders equally PROVIDED THAT (A) if
                  in the opinion of the Note Trustee there is a conflict between
                  the interests of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders, on the
                  one  hand  and the  interests  of the  Class B  Fourth  Issuer
                  Noteholders  and/or  the  Class M  Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders
                  and/or  the  Class C Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders  on the other
                  hand, the Note Trustee shall have regard only to the interests
                  of the Class A Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders  and (B), if in the
                  opinion of the Note  Trustee  there is a conflict  between the
                  interests of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders on one hand
                  and the interests of the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders and
                  the Class C Fourth Issuer  Noteholders  on the other hand, the
                  Note  Trustee  shall have regard only to the  interests of the
                  Class B Fourth Issuer  Noteholders  and (C), if in the opinion
                  of the Note Trustee there is a conflict  between the interests
                  of the Class M Fourth Issuer  Noteholders  on one hand and the
                  interests  of the  Class C Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders  on the
                  other  hand,  the Note  Trustee  shall have regard only to the
                  interests  of the Class M Fourth  Issuer  Noteholders;  but so
                  that  this  proviso  shall  not  apply in the case of  powers,
                  authorities   or  discretions  in  relation  to  which  it  is
                  expressly  stated  that  they  may be  exercised  by the  Note
                  Trustee  only  if in its  opinion  the  interests  of all  the
                  Noteholders would not be materially prejudiced thereby; and

            (iii) it shall not have regard to, or be in any way liable for,  the
                  consequences  of any  exercise  thereof  for any other  Fourth
                  Issuer Secured Creditor or any other person,

            the Note  Trustee  shall be entitled to assume,  for the purposes of
            exercising any power,  right, trust,  authority,  duty or discretion
            under or in relation to the Fourth Issuer Notes,  these  presents or
            any of the other  Fourth  Issuer  Transaction  Documents,  that such
            exercise will not be materially  prejudicial to the interests of the
            Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies has
            confirmed  that the then current  rating by it of the Class A Fourth
            Issuer Notes would not be adversely affected by such exercise,  that
            such exercise will not be materially prejudicial to the interests of

18.   WAIVER, AUTHORISATION AND DETERMINATION

18.1  The Note Trustee may,  without the consent or sanction of the  Noteholders
      and without  prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent  breach,

      opinion the  interests of the  Noteholders  of each class of Fourth Issuer
      Notes shall not be  materially  prejudiced  thereby waive or authorise any
      breach or proposed  breach by the Fourth Issuer or any other party thereto
      of any of the covenants or provisions  contained in these  presents or any

      direction   or  request   shall  affect  any  waiver,   authorisation   or
      determination previously given or made. 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 Fourth  Issuer to the  Noteholders  in accordance
      with  Condition 14 as soon as  practicable  thereafter.  The provisions of
      this  CLAUSE  18.1 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 Fourth Issuer Notes, as
      permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

18.2  MODIFICATION

(a)   The Note Trustee may without the consent or sanction of the Noteholders at
      any time and from time to time concur with the Fourth 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  Fourth
      Issuer Transaction Documents which in the sole 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 Fourth Issuer Notes or (ii) to these
      presents or any of the other Fourth Issuer Transaction Documents if in the
      sole opinion of the Note Trustee such  modification is of a formal,  minor
      or  technical  nature or is  necessary  to correct a manifest  error or an
      error established as such to the satisfaction of the Note Trustee (and for
      the  avoidance of doubt,  the Note  Trustees  shall be entitled to assume,
      without further investigation or inquiry,  that such modification,  waiver
      or  authorisation  will not be materially  prejudicial to the interests of
      the Fourth Issuer Noteholders of each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed
      in writing that the then current  ratings of the applicable  series and/or
      class or classes of Fourth Issuer Notes would not be adversely affected by
      such modification, waiver or authorisation).  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 Fourth Issuer
      to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies in accordance with CONDITION 14
      as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b)   So  long  as any of the  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  are  rated  by the  Rating
      Agencies, the Fourth Issuer shall notify the Rating Agencies in writing as
      soon as  reasonably  practicable  thereafter  of any  modification  to the
      provisions of these presents,  the Fourth Issuer Notes or any of the other
      Transaction  Documents.  The Note  Trustee  may also  agree,  without  the
      consent of the  Noteholders,  to a change of the laws governing the Fourth
      Issuer Notes and/or the Fourth Issuer  Transaction  Documents  (and to any
      consequential amendments deriving therefrom)

                                       29


      PROVIDED THAT such change and  consequential  amendments would not, in the
      opinion of the Note Trustee, be materially prejudicial to the interests of
      the Noteholders.

18.3  RATING AGENCIES

      If:

      (a)   a  confirmation  of rating or other response by a Rating Agency is a
            condition to any action or step under any Fourth Issuer  Transaction
            Document; and

      (b)   a written request for such  confirmation or response is delivered to
            each Rating Agency by the Fourth Issuer  (copied to the Note Trustee
            and either one or more Rating Agency (each a NON- RESPONSIVE  RATING
            AGENCY)  indicates  that it does not consider such  confirmation  or
            response  necessary  in the  circumstances  or  within  30  days  of
            delivery of such request  elicits no confirmation or response and/or
            such request  elicits no  statement by such Rating  Agency that such
            request could not be given; and

      (c)   at lease one Rating  Agency  gives such a  confirmation  or response
            based on the same facts,

      then such  condition  shall be deemed to be modified  with  respect to the
      facts set out in the request  referred to in PARAGRAPH (B) (above) so that
      there shall be no requirement  for the  confirmation  or response from the
      Non-responsive Rating Agency.

      The Note Trustee shall be entitled to treat as conclusive a certificate by
      any  director,  officer or employee of the Fourth  Issuer,  Funding 1, the
      Seller, any investment bank or financial adviser acting in relation to the
      Fourth Issuer Notes as to any matter  referred to in PARAGRAPH (B) (above)
      in the  absence  of  manifest  error  or the  Note  Trustee  having  facts
      contradicting  such certificates  specifically  drawn to his attention and
      the Note Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss, liability,  costs,
      damages,  expenses  or  inconvenience  that may be  caused  as a result of
      treating such certificate as conclusive.

18.4  BREACH

      Any breach of or failure to comply with any such terms and  conditions  as
      are  referred  to in  SUBCLAUSES  18.1  and  18.2  of  this  Clause  shall
      constitute a default by the Fourth Issuer in the 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 Fourth 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 Fourth  Issuer  Note or of a
      particular  principal  amount of the Fourth  Issuer  Notes as the absolute
      owner of such Fourth Issuer Note or principal  amount, as the case may be,
      for all  purposes  (whether  or not such Fourth  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 Fourth 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  Fourth Issuer Note or Global
      Fourth  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 Fourth  Issuer Note or principal  amount,  as the case may
      be.

                                       30


20.   CURRENCY INDEMNITY

      The Fourth 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 Fourth  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 Fourth 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 Fourth 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 Fourth Issuer in
      CLAUSE 14.5 and CLAUSE 15(l)) shall  constitute  obligations of the Fourth
      Issuer  separate  and  independent  from its  obligations  under the other
      provisions  of these  presents and the Fourth 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  Fourth  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  Fourth  Issuer  or its
      liquidator or liquidators.

21.   ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION; NEW NOTE TRUSTEE

21.1  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  U.S.$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 Fourth  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 Fourth 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 21.1, the Note Trustee shall
      resign promptly in the manner and with the effect specified in CLAUSE 22.

21.2  NEW NOTE TRUSTEE

(a)   Subject  to  PARAGRAPH  (b) the power to  appoint a new  trustee  of these
      presents  shall be  vested in the  Fourth  Issuer  but no person  shall be
      appointed who shall not previously have been approved by

                                       31


      an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Fourth Issuer Noteholders,  the
      Class B Fourth Issuer  Noteholders,  the Class M Fourth Issuer Noteholders
      and the Class C Fourth  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 Fourth 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
      U.S.  Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) not be an affiliate (as defined
      in Rule 405 of the  Securities  Act) of the Fourth Issuer or of any person
      involved in the organisation or operation of the Fourth Issuer;  (iii) not
      offer or provide credit or credit  enhancement  to the Fourth Issuer;  and
      (iv) execute an agreement or instrument concerning the Fourth Issuer Notes
      containing  provisions to the effect set forth in Section  26(a)(3) of the
      U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.

21.3  SEPARATE AND CO-TRUSTEES

      Notwithstanding  the provisions of SUBCLAUSE 21.2 above,  the Note Trustee
      may, upon giving prior notice to the Fourth Issuer (but without  requiring
      the consent of the Fourth 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:

      (a)   if  the  Note  Trustee  considers  such  appointment  to be  in  the
            interests of the Noteholders;

      (b)   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

      (c)   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 Fourth Issuer Transaction  Documents against the Fourth Issuer
            or any other party thereto.

      The Fourth 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 Fourth 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 Fourth Issuer undertakes that in the event of the only
      trustee of these

                                       32


      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. If a successor trustee being a trust corporation
      has not been  appointed  within two months after the date of the notice of
      retirement of the Note Trustee, then the retiring Note Trustee may appoint
      its own successor trustee being a trust corporation.

23.   NOTE TRUSTEE'S POWERS TO BE ADDITIONAL

      The powers  conferred  upon the Note Trustee by these presents shall be in
      addition  to any powers  which may from time to time be vested in the Note
      Trustee  by the  general  law or as a holder of any of the  Fourth  Issuer
      Notes.

24.   NOTICES

      this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which  exists or
      is available apart from that Act.

      If any provision of this Deed limits,  qualifies or conflicts with another
      provision  which is  required  to be  included in this Deed by, and is not
      subject to a  contractual  waiver  under,  the Trust  Indenture  Act,  the
      required provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall prevail.

      the Chairman may decide)  after the time  appointed for any such meeting a
      quorum is not  present for the  transaction  of any  particular  business,
      then, subject and without prejudice to the transaction of the business (if

      adjourned  to the same  day in the  next  week (or if such day is a public
      holiday  the next  succeeding  Business  Day) at the same  time and  place
      (except in the case of a meeting at which an  Extraordinary  Resolution is

      longer  period not  exceeding 30 minutes as the Chairman may decide) after
      the time  appointed for any adjourned  meeting a quorum is not present for
      the  transaction of any  particular  business,  then,  subject and without

      Trustee) dissolve such meeting or adjourn the same for such period,  being
      not less  than 13 clear  days (but  without  any  maximum  number of clear
      days),  and to such place as may be appointed by the Chairman either at or
      subsequent to such adjourned meeting and approved by the Note Trustee, and
      the provisions of this sentence shall apply to all further  adjourned such
      meetings.  At any adjourned  meeting one or more persons  present  holding
      Definitive Fourth Issuer Notes or voting  certificates or being proxies or
      representatives  (whatever the principal amount of the Fourth Issuer Notes
      so held or represented  by them) shall (subject as provided  below) form a
      quorum  and shall  (subject  as  provided  below)  have  power to pass any
      Extraordinary  Resolution  or  other  resolution  and to  decide  upon all
      matters  which could  properly  have been dealt with at the  meeting  from
      which the  adjournment  took place had the  requisite  quorum been present
      PROVIDED THAT at any adjourned  meeting the quorum for the  transaction of
      business  comprising  any of the  matters  specified  in  the  proviso  to

                                      321


7.    Notice of any adjourned meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to
      be  submitted  shall be given in the same  manner as notice of an original
      meeting but as if 10 were substituted for 21 in paragraph 3 above and such
      notice shall state the relevant quorum.  Subject as aforesaid it shall not
      be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

8.    Every  question  submitted  to a  meeting  shall be  decided  in the first
      instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the  Chairman
      shall  both  on a show  of  hands  and on a poll  have a  casting  vote in
      addition  to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be  entitled  as a
      Noteholder  or as a holder of a voting  certificate  or as a proxy or as a
      representative.

9.    At any  meeting  unless a poll is  (before  or on the  declaration  of the
      result of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman,  the Fourth Issuer,
      the Note Trustee or any person present holding a Definitive  Fourth Issuer
      Note or a voting certificate or being a proxy or representative  (whatever
      the principal  amount of the Fourth Issuer Notes so held or represented by
      him) a declaration  by the Chairman that a resolution  has been carried or
      carried by a  particular  majority or lost or not carried by a  particular
      majority  shall be  conclusive  evidence of the fact without  proof of the
      number or  proportion  of the votes  recorded in favour of or against such
      resolution.

10.   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 demand  for a poll shall not  prevent  the  continuance  of the
      meeting for the transaction of any business other than the motion on which
      the poll has been demanded.

11.   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.   Any poll  demanded at any such meeting on the election of a Chairman or on
      any  question  of  adjournment  shall  be  taken  at the  meeting  without
      adjournment.

13.   The Note Trustee and its lawyers and any director,  officer or employee of
      a  corporation  being a trustee  of the Fourth  Issuer  Trust Deed and any
      director  or officer of the Fourth  Issuer and its  lawyers  and any other
      person authorised so to do by the Note Trustee may attend and speak at any
      meeting.  Save as aforesaid,  but without  prejudice to the  definition of
      Principal  Amount  Outstanding,  no person shall be entitled to attend and
      speak nor  shall any  person be  entitled  to vote at any  meeting  of the
      Noteholders  or join with others in  requesting  the  convening  of such a
      meeting or to exercise the rights  conferred on the  Noteholders by Clause
      10 of the Fourth Issuer Trust Deed unless he either produces Fourth Issuer
      Note(s) or a voting  certificate or is a proxy or a  representative  or is
      the holder of a Definitive  Fourth Issuer Note or Definitive Fourth Issuer
      Notes.  No person  shall be  entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of
      Fourth  Issuer  Notes  held by, for the  benefit  of, or on behalf of, the
      Fourth Issuer or the  Borrowers.  Nothing  herein shall prevent any of the
      proxies  named in any  block  voting  instruction  or form of proxy or any
      representative  from being a  director,  officer or  representative  of or
      otherwise connected with the Fourth Issuer.

14.   Subject as provided in paragraph 13 hereof at any meeting:

      (a)   on a show of  hands  every  person  who is  present  in  person  and
            produces a voting  certificate or is a holder of Fourth Issuer Notes
            or is a proxy or representative shall have one vote; and


                                      322


      (b)   on a poll  every  person  who is so  present  shall have one vote in
            respect  of each  {pound-sterling}1,  U.S.$1  or E1 (or  such  other
            amount as the Note Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate)
            in principal  amount of the Fourth Issuer Notes  represented  by the
            voting  certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a proxy
            or representative or in respect of which he is the holder.

      Without  prejudice to the  obligations  of the proxies  named in any block
      voting  instruction or form of proxy any person  entitled to more than one
      vote  need  not use all his  votes  or cast  all the  votes to which he is
      entitled in the same way.

15.   The proxies  named in any block  voting  instruction  or form of proxy and
      representatives need not be Noteholders.

16.   Each  block  voting  instruction  together  (if so  requested  by the Note
      Trustee) with proof  satisfactory to the Note Trustee of its due execution
      on behalf of the  relevant  Paying  Agent and each form of proxy  shall be
      deposited  by the  relevant  Paying  Agent  or (as the case may be) by the
      Registrar at such place as the Note Trustee shall approve not less than 24
      hours  before the time  appointed  for holding  the  meeting or  adjourned
      meeting at which the proxies named in the block voting instruction or form
      of proxy  propose to vote and in default the block voting  instruction  or
      form of proxy  shall not be treated as valid  unless the  Chairman  of the
      meeting  decides  otherwise  before  such  meeting  or  adjourned  meeting
      proceeds to  business.  A notarially  certified  copy of each block voting
      instruction  and form of proxy shall be  deposited  with the Note  Trustee
      before the  commencement of the meeting or adjourned  meeting but the Note
      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 block
      voting instruction or form of proxy.

17.   Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a block voting  instruction
      or form of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or
      amendment  of the block voting  instruction  or form of proxy or of any of
      the Noteholders'  instructions  pursuant to which it was executed provided
      that no intimation in writing of such  revocation or amendment  shall have
      been  received  from  the  relevant  Paying  Agent  or in  the  case  of a
      Definitive Fourth Issuer Note from the holder thereof by the Fourth Issuer
      at its registered office (or such other place as may have been required or
      approved by the Note  Trustee for the  purpose) by the time being 24 hours
      and 48 hours  respectively  before  the time  appointed  for  holding  the
      meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction or form
      of proxy is to be used.

18.   Subject  always to the  provisions of Clause 18 of the Fourth Issuer Trust
      Deed and  Section  316(b) of the Trust  Indenture  Act,  a meeting  of the
      Noteholders  shall in addition to the powers  hereinbefore  given have the
      following powers exercisable only by Extraordinary  Resolution (subject to
      the provisions  relating to quorum  contained in paragraphs 5 and 6 above)
      namely:

      (a)   power to sanction any compromise or arrangement  proposed to be made

      (b)   power  to  sanction  any  abrogation,  modification,  compromise  or

            against  any other or others of them or against  any other  party to
            any of the  Transaction  Documents or against any of their  property
            whether such rights shall arise under the Fourth  Issuer Trust Deed,
            any other Transaction Document or otherwise;


                                      323

            exercise by Extraordinary Resolution;

      (f)   power to approve of a person to be  appointed a trustee and power to
            remove  any  trustee  or  trustees  for the time being of the Fourth

      (g)   power  to  discharge  or  exonerate  the  Note  Trustee  and/or  any
            appointee of the Note  Trustee from all  liability in respect of any

      (i)   power to sanction any scheme or proposal for the exchange or sale of
            the Fourth  Issuer Notes for or the  conversion of the Fourth Issuer
            Notes  into  or the  cancellation  of the  Fourth  Issuer  Notes  in
            consideration of shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures,  debenture
            stock and/or other obligations  and/or notes of the Fourth Issuer or
            any  other  company  formed  or to be  formed,  or for or into or in
            consideration  of cash, or partly for or into or in consideration of
            such shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or

            be exchanged or sold respectively,

      PROVIDED THAT:

            either:

            (A)   the  Note  Trustee  is of the  opinion  that  it  will  not be
                  materially  prejudicial to the interests of (in the case of an

                  Noteholders) the Class C Fourth Issuer Noteholders;

      (ii)  no Extraordinary Resolution of the Class B Fourth Issuer Noteholders
            shall be effective  for any purpose  while any Class A Fourth Issuer

19.   Subject to the provisos to paragraph 18 and to the  provisions  of Section

      the  Noteholders  duly  convened  and held in  accordance  with the Fourth
      Issuer  Trust Deed shall be binding  upon the  Noteholders  of all classes
      whether  present or not present at such  meeting and whether or not voting
      and each of them shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly and the
      passing  of any such  resolution  shall be  conclusive  evidence  that the
      circumstances  justify  the passing  thereof.  Notice of the result of the
      voting on any resolution duly considered by the Noteholders shall be given
      by the Fourth Issuer to the  Noteholders  in accordance  with Condition 14
      within  14  days  of  such   result   being   known   PROVIDED   THAT  the
      non-publication of such notice shall not invalidate such result.

20.   (a)   A resolution  which  in  the  opinion  of the Note  Trustee  affects
            the interests of the holders of one class only of the Class A Fourth
            Issuer Notes shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a
            meeting of the  holders of the Class A Fourth  Issuer  Notes of that
            class.

      (b)   A resolution which, in the opinion of the Note Trustee,  affects the
            interests  of the holders of any two or more  classes of the Class A
            Fourth Issuer Notes but does not give rise to a conflict of interest
            between  the  holders  of such two or more  classes  of the  Class A
            Fourth  Issuer  Notes,  shall be deemed to have been duly  passed if
            passed

                                      325


            at a single  meeting  of the  holders  of such  two or more  classes
            series of the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes.

      (c)   A resolution  which in the opinion of the Note  Trustee  affects the
            interests  of the holders of any two or more  classes of the Class A
            Fourth  Issuer  Notes and gives or may give  rise to a  conflict  of
            interest  between  the  holders  of such two or more  classes of the
            Class A Fourth Issuer Notes shall be deemed to have been duly passed
            only if, in lieu of being passed at a single  meeting of the holders
            of such two or more classes of the Class A Fourth Issuer  Notes,  it
            shall be duly passed at separate meetings of the holders of such two
            or more classes of the Class A Fourth Issuer Notes.

      (d)   In the case of a single  meeting  of the  holders of the two or more
