ATTACHMENT 3

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

The Transaction Security and Guarantees shall be granted subject to the following principles:

(i) general statutory and customary limitations (e.g. financial assistance or corporate benefit limitations) may limit the ability of an Obligor or Security Provider to guarantee or provide Security or require that such guarantee or Security is limited by an amount or otherwise;

(ii) only entities wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Issuer or jointly wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Issuer and any Parent Entity (in each case, a “Relevant Entity”), shall be required to provide Guarantees and/or Security, provided (a) that the Issuer shall use its best efforts to get consent from any other shareholder in a partly owned entity (other than a Relevant Entity) for such partly owned entity to provide a Guarantee, and if obtained, shall grant a Guarantee subject to the other Agreed Security Principles, and (b) if such consent is not obtained, procure that a Guarantee is provided by the nearest Relevant Entity of such partly owned entity and that security over the shares in the nearest Relevant Entity is granted.

(iii) Security over shares in any partly owned entity (other than a Relevant Entity) shall (a) only extend to shares owned by a Relevant Entity and be subject to any contractual limitations in respect of such Security, provided that the Issuer shall make reasonable efforts to remove any such contractual limitations, and (b) if Security over such shares cannot be created and or perfected due to contractual limitations, be granted over the shares in the nearest Relevant Entity being a direct or indirect parent entity of such partly owned entity. If such restriction ceases to apply, such member of the Group shall promptly thereafter become a Guarantor and grant the relevant Security.

(iv) Material Subsidiaries and Security Providers will not be required to give guarantees or enter into Transaction Security Documents if it would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal prohibition or result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer provided that the relevant Material Subsidiary or Security Provider shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle (taking into account e.g. the cost and resources required to overcome any such obstacle);

(v) any Security or any Guarantee, and the extent of its perfection and scope, shall take into account the cost, work and time of providing the same which must not be disproportionate to the benefit accruing to the Bondholders;

(vi) no Obligor or Security Provider shall be under an obligation to grant any Security over any assets or guarantee which would impose a stamp duty, registration fee or similar on it unless such stamp duty or registration fee is negligible;

(vii) the Issuer may elect to provide share Security over the direct holding company of any Material Subsidiary (rather than the Material Subsidiary itself) if it deems this advisable in light of any limitations or costs listed above; and

70

(viii) the Transaction Security Documents and Guarantees shall operate to create Security or guarantees rather than to impose any new commercial obligations and shall, accordingly, not contain additional or duplicate representations or undertakings to those contained in the Bond Terms unless required for the creation, perfection or preservation of the Security or guarantee and shall not be unduly burdensome on the Obligor or Security Provider or interfere unreasonably with the operation of its business.
