Upon the issue of the relevant Notes, such Notes shall become constituted by these presents without further formality.

Before the first issue of Notes occurring after each anniversary of this Trust Deed, whenever a legal opinion is provided to the Dealers and on such other occasions as the Trustee so requests (on the basis that the Trustee reasonably considers it prudent in view of a change (or proposed change) in applicable law materially affecting the Issuer, PT or, as the case may be, PTC, these presents, the Keep Well Agreements or the Agency Agreement or the Trustee has other reasonable grounds which shall not include the mere lapse of time), the Issuer, PT or, as the case may be, PTC will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that further legal opinions or, where applicable, a further legal opinion (relating, if applicable, to any such change or proposed change) in such

form and content as the Trustee may reasonably require from legal advisers approved by the Trustee (where applicable, such legal advisers to be those referred to in the Programme Agreement unless the Trustee reasonably considers the use of such legal advisers to be either impracticable or inappropriate) are/is delivered to the Trustee.

(ii): in the case of any payment of principal made to the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent after the due date or on or after accelerated maturity following an Event of Default, interest shall continue to accrue on the principal amount of the relevant Notes (except in the case of Zero Coupon Notes, to which the provisions of Condition 7(j) shall apply) at the rates and/or in the amounts aforesaid up to and including the date (being not later than 14 days after the day on which the whole of such principal amount, together with an amount equal to the interest which has accrued and is to accrue pursuant to this proviso up to and including that date, has been received by the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent) which the Trustee determines to be the date on and after which payment is to be made in respect thereof as stated in a notice given to the holders of such Notes; and
(iii): in any case where payment of the whole or any part of the principal amount of any Note is improperly withheld or refused upon due presentation thereof (other than in circumstances contemplated by (ii) above) interest shall accrue on the principal amount of such Note (except in the case of Zero Coupon Notes, to which the provisions of Condition 7(j) shall apply) payment of which has been so withheld or refused at the rates and/or in the amounts aforesaid from the date of such withholding or refusal until the date on which, upon further presentation of the relevant Note, payment of the full amount (including interest as aforesaid) in the relevant currency payable in respect of such Note is made or (if earlier) the day after notice is given to the relevant Noteholder (whether individually or in accordance with Condition 14) that the full amount (including interest as aforesaid) in the relevant currency in respect of such Note is available for payment, provided that, upon further presentation thereof being duly made, such payment is made.

The Trustee will hold the benefit of this covenant on trust for the Noteholders, the Receiptholders, the Couponholders and itself in accordance with these presents.

(b): to deliver up all Notes, Receipts and Coupons and all sums, documents and records held by them in their capacity as Principal Paying Agent or, as the case may be, Registrar, Exchange Agent, Transfer Agent or other Paying Agent, to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any documents or records which the Principal Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Exchange Agent or the relevant Transfer Agent or other Paying Agent is obliged not to release by any law or regulation; and

(D): If the Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes of any Series become immediately due and repayable under Condition 10 the rate and/or amount of interest payable in respect of them will be calculated at the same intervals as if such Notes had not become due and repayable, the first of which will commence on the expiry of the Interest Period during which the Notes of the relevant Series become so due and repayable mutatis mutandis in accordance with the provisions of Condition 10 except that the rates and/or amounts of interest need not be published.

ALL moneys received by the Trustee under these presents shall, unless and to the extent attributable in the opinion of the Trustee to a particular Series of the Notes, be apportioned pari passu and rateably between each Series of the Notes, and all moneys received by the Trustee under these presents to the extent attributable in the opinion of the Trustee to a particular Series of the Notes or which are apportioned to such Series as aforesaid (including any moneys which represent principal or interest in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons which have become void under Condition 9) shall be held by the Trustee upon trust to apply them (subject to Clause 11):

FIRST in payment or satisfaction of all amounts then due and unpaid under Clauses 15 and/or 16(J) to the Trustee and/or any Appointee;

SECONDLY in or towards payment pari passu and rateably of all principal and interest then due and unpaid in respect of the Notes of that Series; and

10. NOTICE OF PAYMENTS

THE Trustee shall give notice to the relevant Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 of the day fixed for any payment to them under Clause 9. Such payment may be made in accordance with Condition 6 and any payment so made shall be a good discharge to the Trustee.

11. INVESTMENT BY TRUSTEE

(A): IF the amount of the moneys at any time available for the payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes under Clause 10 shall be less than 10 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding the Trustee may at its discretion invest such moneys in some or one of the investments authorised below. The Trustee at its discretion may vary such investments and may accumulate such investments and the resulting income until the accumulations, together with any other funds for the time being under the control of the Trustee and available for such purpose, amount to at least 10 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and then such accumulations and funds shall be applied under Clause 10.

(B): Any moneys which under the trusts of these presents ought to or may be invested by the Trustee may be invested in the name or under the control of the Trustee in any of the investments for the time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Trustee at such bank or other financial institution (the long term debt of which has a current credit rating of at least A+ from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. or A1 from Xxxxx'x Investors Service Limited) and in such currency as the Trustee may think fit. If that bank or other financial institution is the Trustee or a subsidiary, holding or associated company of the Trustee, such bank or other financial institution need only account for an amount of interest equal to the largest amount of interest payable by it on such a deposit to an independent customer. The Trustee may at any time vary any such investments for or into other investments or convert any moneys so deposited into any other currency and shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from any such investments or deposits, whether due to depreciation in value, fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise.

(A)

(1)

The Trustee may without the consent of the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders at any time agree with the Issuer, PT and PTC to the substitution in place of the Issuer (or of the previous substitute under this Clause) as the principal debtor under these presents of either Keep Well Provider or any other Subsidiary of PT (such substituted company being hereinafter called the "New Company") provided that a trust deed is executed or some other form of undertaking is given by the New Company in form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of these presents with any consequential amendments which the Trustee may deem appropriate as fully as if the New Company had been named in these presents as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or of the previous substitute under this Clause) and provided further that if the New Company is not PT or PTC, PT and PTC each undertake like obligations in respect of such New Company to those set out in the relevant Keep Well Agreement or, if applicable, such other obligations in respect of the Issuer (or of the previous substitute under this Clause) which may be in force immediately prior to the substitution in place of PT's and PTC's respective obligations under the Keep Well Agreements to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

(2)

The following further conditions shall apply to (1) above:

(i): the Issuer and the New Company shall comply with such other requirements as the Trustee may direct in the interests of the Noteholders;
(ii): where the New Company is incorporated, domiciled or resident in, or subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of, a territory other than or in addition to The Netherlands or any political sub-division thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, undertakings or covenants shall be given by the New Company in terms corresponding to the provisions of Condition 8 with the substitution for (or, as the case may be, the

addition to) the references to The Netherlands of references to that other or additional territory in which the New Company is incorporated, domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it is subject and (where applicable) Condition 7(b) shall be modified accordingly;

(iii): without prejudice to the rights of reliance of the Trustee under the immediately following paragraph (iv), the Trustee is satisfied that the relevant transaction is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders; and
(iv): if two Directors of the New Company (or other officers acceptable to the Trustee) shall certify that the New Company is solvent at the time at which the relevant transaction is proposed to be effected (which certificate the Trustee may rely upon absolutely) the Trustee shall not be under any duty to have regard to the financial condition, profits or prospects of the New Company or to compare the same with those of the Issuer or the previous substitute under this Clause as applicable.

(B): Any such Trust Deed or undertaking shall, if so expressed, operate to release the Issuer or the previous substitute as aforesaid from all of its obligations under these presents. Not later than 14 days after the execution of such documents and compliance with such requirements, the New Company shall give notice thereof in a form previously approved by the Trustee to the Noteholders in the manner provided in Condition 14. Upon the execution of such documents and compliance with such requirements, the New Company shall be deemed to be named in these presents as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or in place of the previous substitute under this Clause) under these presents and these presents shall be deemed to be amended in such manner as shall be necessary to give effect to the above provisions and, without limitation, references in these presents to the Issuer shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to be or include references to the New Company.

21. CURRENCY INDEMNITY

EACH of the Issuer, PT and PTC shall indemnify the Trustee, every Appointee, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and keep them indemnified against:

(a): any Liability incurred by any of them arising from the non-payment by the Issuer, PT or PTC of any amount due to the Trustee or the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders 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 Issuer, PT or PTC; 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 Issuer, PT or PTC 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 indemnities shall constitute obligations of the Issuer, PT and PTC separate and independent from their obligations under the other provisions of these presents and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Trustee or the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders 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 Issuer, PT or PTC 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, Receiptholders and Couponholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer, PT or PTC or their liquidator or liquidators.

22. NEW TRUSTEE

(A): THE power to appoint a new trustee of these presents shall be vested in the Issuer but no person shall be appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution.

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 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 Issuer to the Principal Paying Agent, the Registrar and in accordance with Condition 14 the Noteholders.

SEPARATE AND CO-TRUSTEES

(B)

Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause (A) above, the Trustee may, upon giving prior notice to the Issuer, PT and PTC after consultation with the Issuer, PT and PTC where the Trustee considers such consultation to be practicable and not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders, (but without the consent of the Issuer, PT, PTC, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders), 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 Trustee:

(i): if the Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders;
(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 against the Issuer.

Each of the Issuer, PT and PTC irrevocably appoints the 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 Trustee by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration as the Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable Liabilities incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee, shall for the purposes of these presents be treated as Liabilities incurred by the Trustee.

23. TRUSTEE'S RETIREMENT AND REMOVAL

A trustee of these presents may retire at any time on giving not less than three months' prior written notice to the Issuer, PT and PTC without giving any reason and without being responsible for any Liabilities incurred by reason of such retirement. The Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution remove any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents. The Issuer, PT and PTC undertake 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 they will use their best endeavours to procure that a new trustee of these presents being a Trust Corporation is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If within one month of the only trustee of

these presents giving notice under this Clause no such new trustee has been appointed by Issuer, PT and PTC, the Trustee may appoint a successor in the Issuer's, PT's and PTC's stead. The retirement or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed.

24. TRUSTEE'S POWERS TO BE ADDITIONAL

THE powers conferred upon the Trustee by these presents shall be in addition to any powers which may from time to time be vested in the Trustee by the general law or as a holder of any of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons.

25. NOTICES

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions shall bear the same meanings when used in this Global Note. This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and a Trust Deed dated 17th December, 1998 (the "Principal Trust Deed") and made between the Issuer, Portugal Telecom, SGPS S.A.

The Issuer, subject as hereinafter provided and subject to and in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date and/or on such earlier date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, the amount payable under the Conditions in respect of such Notes on each such date and to pay interest (if any) on the nominal amount of the Notes from time to time represented by this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions and the Trust Deed together with any other sums payable under the Conditions and the Trust Deed, upon presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Global Note at the specified office of the Principal Paying Agent at 0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX or such other specified office as may be specified for this purpose in accordance with the Conditions or at the specified office of any of the other Paying Agents located outside the United States, its territories and possessions (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes.

Upon any such redemption, payment of an instalment or purchase and cancellation the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or the amount of such instalment. The nominal amount from time to time of this Global Note and of the Notes represented by this Global Note following any such redemption, payment of an instalment or purchase and cancellation as aforesaid or any exchange as referred to below shall be the nominal amount most recently entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule One hereto or in Schedule Two hereto.

Payments of principal and interest (if any) due prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below) will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is presented to the Principal Paying Agent by Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") a certificate in or substantially in the form set out in Part VII of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of Certificate "A" as set out in Part VII of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed. The bearer of this Global Note will not (unless upon due presentation of this Global Note for exchange, delivery of the appropriate number of Definitive Bearer Notes (together with the Coupons appertaining thereto) or, as the case may be, issue and delivery (or, as the case may be, endorsement) of the Permanent Bearer Global Note is improperly withheld or refused and such withholding or refusal is continuing at the relevant payment date) be entitled to receive any payment hereon due on or after the Exchange Date.

On or after the date (the "Exchange Date") which is the later of (i) 40 days after the Issue Date and (ii) 40 days after the completion of the distribution of the relevant Tranche, as certified by the relevant Dealer (in the case of a non-syndicated issue) or the relevant lead manager (in the case of a syndicated issue), this Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for, as specified in the Pricing Supplement, either Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Parts III, IV, V and VI of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Bearer Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons and the relevant information supplementing, replacing or modifying the Conditions appearing in the Pricing Supplement has been endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Bearer Notes) or a Permanent Bearer Global Note in or substantially in the form set out in Part II of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed (together with the Pricing Supplement attached thereto) upon notice being given by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Global Note and subject, in the case of Definitive Bearer Notes, to such notice period as is specified in the Pricing Supplement.

Presentation of this Global Note for exchange shall be made by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London at the office of the Principal Paying Agent specified above.

Notes represented by this Global Note (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of Certificate "A" as set out in Part VII of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed. On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the Principal Paying Agent. On an exchange of part only of this Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount of this Global Note so exchanged. On any exchange of this Global Note for a Permanent Bearer Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two to the Permanent Bearer Global Note and the relevant space in Schedule Two thereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer.

No rights are conferred on any person under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 to enforce any term of this Global Note, but this does not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from that Act.

This Global Note is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law and the Issuer, PT and PTC have in the Trust Deed submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England for all purposes in connection with this Global Note.

This Global Note shall not be valid unless authenticated by Citibank, N.A., London office, as Principal Paying Agent.

Save as aforesaid, but without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of "outstanding" in Clause 1, 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 Condition 10 unless he either produces the Definitive Bearer Note or Notes of which he is the holder or a voting certificate or is a proxy or a representative or is the holder of a Definitive Registered Note or Notes. No person shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes held by, for the benefit of, or on behalf of, the Issuer, PT, PTC or a Subsidiary of any of them. Nothing herein shall prevent any of the proxies named in any block voting instruction or form of proxy from being a director, officer or representative of or otherwise connected with the Issuer, PT or PTC.
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 Definitive Bearer Note or voting certificate or is a holder of a Definitive Registered Note or is a proxy or representative shall have one vote; and
	(B)	on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each euro 1 or such other amount as the Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate (or, in the case of meetings of holders of Notes denominated in another currency, such amount in such other currency as the Trustee in its absolute discretion may stipulate) in nominal amount of the Definitive Bearer Notes so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a proxy or representative or in respect of which (being a Definitive Registered Note) he is the registered 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 need not be Noteholders.

16.	Each block voting instruction together (if so requested by the Trustee) with proof satisfactory to the 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 or the relevant Transfer Agent at such place as the 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 Trustee before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Trustee shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the authority of the proxies named in any such 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 Registered Note from the holder thereof by the Issuer at its registered office (or such other place as may have been required or approved by the Trustee for the purpose) by the time being 24 hours 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.	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 between the Issuer, PT, PTC, the Trustee, any Appointee and the Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders or any of them in relation to these presents.
	(B)	Power to sanction any abrogation, modification, compromise or arrangement in respect of the rights of the Trustee, any Appointee, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders, the Couponholders, the Issuer, PT or PTC against any other or others of them or against any of their property whether such rights shall arise under these presents or otherwise.
	(C)	Power to assent to any modification of the provisions of these presents which shall be proposed by the Issuer, PT, PTC, the Trustee or any Noteholder.
	(D)	Power to give any authority or sanction which under the provisions of these presents is required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution.
	(E)	Power to appoint any persons (whether Noteholders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the interests of the Noteholders and to confer upon such committee or committees any powers or discretions which the Noteholders could themselves 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 these presents.
	(G)	Power to discharge or exonerate the Trustee and/or any Appointee from all liability in respect of any act or omission for which the Trustee and/or such Appointee may have become responsible under these presents.

	(H)	Power to authorise the Trustee and/or any Appointee to concur in and execute and do all such deeds, instruments, acts and things as may be necessary to carry out and give effect to any Extraordinary Resolution.
	(I)	Power to sanction any scheme or proposal for the exchange or sale of the Notes for or the conversion of the Notes into or the cancellation of the Notes in consideration of shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities of the 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 other obligations and/or securities as aforesaid and partly for or into or in consideration of cash and for the appointment of some person with power on behalf of the Noteholders to execute an instrument of transfer of the Registered Notes held by them in favour of the persons with or to whom the Notes are to be exchanged or sold respectively.
19.	Any resolution passed at a meeting of the Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with these presents shall be binding upon all the Noteholders whether present or not present at such meeting and whether or not voting and upon all Receiptholders and Couponholders 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 published in accordance with Condition 14 by the Issuer within 14 days of such result being known PROVIDED THAT the non-publication of such notice shall not invalidate such result.
20.	The expression "Extraordinary Resolution" when used in these presents means (a) a resolution passed at a meeting of the Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with these presents by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the persons voting thereat upon a show of hands or if a poll is duly demanded by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast on such poll; or (b) a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all the Noteholders, which resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the Noteholders.
21.	Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting of the Noteholders shall be made and entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Issuer and any such Minutes as aforesaid if purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings transacted shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein contained and until the contrary is proved every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which Minutes have been made shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted thereat to have been duly passed or transacted.
22.	(A)	If and whenever the Issuer shall have issued and have outstanding Notes of more than one Series the foregoing provisions of this Schedule shall have effect subject to the following modifications:
		(i)	a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Notes of only one Series shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Notes of that Series;
		(ii)	a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Notes of more than one Series but does not give rise to a conflict of interest between the holders of Notes of any of the Series so affected shall be deemed to have been duly passed if passed at a single meeting of the holders of the Notes of all the Series so affected;

		(iii)	a resolution which in the opinion of the Trustee affects the Notes of more than one Series and gives or may give rise to a conflict of interest between the holders of the Notes of one Series or group of Series so affected and the holders of the Notes of another Series or group of Series so affected shall be deemed to have been duly passed only if passed at separate meetings of the holders of the Notes of each Series or group of Series so affected; and
		(iv)	to all such meetings all the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall mutatis mutandis apply as though references therein to Notes, Noteholders and holders were references to the Notes of the Series or group of Series in question or to the holders of such Notes, as the case may be.
	(B)	If the Issuer shall have issued and have outstanding Notes which are not denominated in euro, in the case of any meeting of holders of Notes of more than one currency the nominal amount of such Notes shall (i) for the purposes of paragraph 2 above be the equivalent in euro at the spot rate of a bank nominated by the Trustee for the conversion of the relevant currency or currencies into euro on the seventh dealing day prior to the day on which the requisition in writing is received by the Issuer and (ii) for the purposes of paragraphs 5, 6 and 14 above (whether in respect of the meeting or any adjourned such meeting or any poll resulting therefrom) be the equivalent at such spot rate on the seventh dealing day prior to the day of such meeting. In such circumstances, on any poll each person present shall have one vote for each euro 1 (or such other euro amount as the Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate) in nominal amount of the Notes (converted as above) which he holds or represents.
23.	Subject to all other provisions of these presents the Trustee may without the consent of the Issuer, PT, PTC, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders prescribe such further regulations regarding the requisitioning and/or the holding of meetings of Noteholders and attendance and voting thereat as the Trustee may in its sole discretion think fit.
