	(m)		in the case of Notes which are intended to be listed on a European Economic Area Stock Exchange or offered to the public in a European Economic Area Member State in circumstances which require, or but for the fact that the denomination of the Notes

5.		UNDERTAKINGS OF THE ISSUER
(1)		Notification of material developments
(a)		The Issuer shall promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof notify each Dealer of (A) any Event of Default or any condition, event or act which would after an issue of Notes (or would with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time) constitute an Event of Default, (B) any material breach of the representations and warranties or undertakings contained in the Agreements or (C) anything that would require the publication of a supplement to the Base Prospectus or a new Base Prospectus pursuant to clause 5(2)(b).
(b)		If, following the Agreement Date and before the Issue Date of the relevant Notes, the Issuer becomes aware that any of the conditions specified in clause 3(2) will not be satisfied in relation to that issue, the Issuer shall forthwith notify the relevant Dealer to this effect giving full details thereof. In such circumstances, the relevant Dealer shall be entitled (but not bound) by notice to the Issuer to be released and discharged from its obligations under the agreement reached under clause 2.
(c)		Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall from time to time promptly furnish to each Dealer such information relating to the Issuer as such Dealer may reasonably request.
(2)		Updating of Base Prospectus
(a)		On or before each anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Issuer shall update or amend the Base Prospectus (following consultation with the Arranger who will consult with the Dealers) by the publication of a supplement thereto or a new Base Prospectus, in a form approved by the Dealers.
(b)		In the event of (i) a significant new factor, material mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information included in the Base Prospectus which is capable of affecting the assessment of the Notes arising or being noted, (ii) a change in the condition of the Issuer which is material in the context of the Programme or the issue of any Notes or (iii) the Base Prospectus otherwise coming to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Base Prospectus to comply with, or reflect changes in, any

15

		applicable laws or regulations the Issuer shall update or amend the Base Prospectus (following consultation with the Dealers or the relevant Dealer (if any)) by the publication in accordance with the Prospectus Directive of a supplement thereto or a new Base Prospectus in a form approved by the Dealers other than where a supplement has been prepared in accordance with subclause (c) below.
(c)		On each occasion on which the Issuer publishes and files with the Commission on Form 10-K any annual financial statements or Form 10-Q any interim consolidated financial statements, the Issuer will prepare and publish in accordance with the Prospectus Directive a supplement to the Base Prospectus either setting out those financial statements or incorporating them by reference in the Base Prospectus. A copy of the final version of each such supplement will be provided to the Dealers.
(d)		The Base Prospectus shall, as specified therein, be deemed to incorporate by reference therein the Exchange Filed Information. Upon the publication of a revision, supplement or amendment to the Base Prospectus (“Revision”), the Issuer shall promptly supply to each Dealer and the Agent such number of copies of such Revision as each Dealer or the Agent (as the case may be) may reasonably request. Until a Dealer receives a Revision, the definition of “Base Prospectus” in clause 1(1) shall, in relation to such Dealer, mean the Base Prospectus prior to the receipt by such Dealer of such Revision.
(e)		If the terms of the Programme are modified or amended in a manner which would make the Base Prospectus inaccurate or misleading, a new Base Prospectus will be prepared and published in accordance with the Prospectus Directive in a form approved by the Dealers.
(3)		Listing
		The Issuer:

	(a)		in the case of Notes which are intended to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall cause an initial application to be made for Notes issued under the Programme to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange; and
	(b)		in the case of Notes which are intended to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or offered to the public in a European Economic Area Member State in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive, confirms that the Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the CSSF and that it and the applicable Final Terms have been published in accordance with the Prospective Directive.

If in relation to any issue of Notes, it is agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or the Lead Manager, as the case may be, to list such Notes on a Stock Exchange, the Issuer undertakes, subject as provided herein, to use its best endeavours to obtain and maintain the listing of such Notes on such Stock Exchange PROVIDED THAT if (i) any Notes cease to be listed on the relevant Stock Exchange or (ii) if the maintenance of the listing of any Notes has, in the opinion of the Issuer, become unduly onerous for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the need for the Issuer to meet the requirements introduced following implementation of the Prospectus Directive or the directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of transparency requirements with regard to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market (which test, for the avoidance of doubt, would be satisfied if the Issuer would be required to publish financial information more regularly than it would otherwise be required to or according to accounting principles or standards that are materially different from United

16

		States generally accepted accounting principles), the Issuer shall be entitled to terminate such listing subject to its using its best endeavours to list, as soon as reasonably practicable after such cessastion of listing, such Notes on a stock exchange, within or outside the European Union, to be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or, as the case may be, the Lead Manager.
		The Issuer shall comply with the rules of each relevant Stock Exchange (or any other relevant authority or authorities) and shall otherwise comply with any undertakings given by it from time to time to the relevant Stock Exchange (or any other relevant authority or authorities) in connection with any Notes listed on such Stock Exchange or the listing thereof and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall furnish or procure to be furnished to the relevant Stock Exchange (or any other relevant authority or authorities) all such information as the relevant Stock Exchange (or any other relevant authority or authorities) may require in connection with the listing on such Stock Exchange of any Notes.
(4)		The Agency Agreement
		The Issuer undertakes that it will not, except with the consent of the Dealers, appoint a different Agent under the Agency Agreement and that it will promptly notify each of the Dealers of any amendment to the Agency Agreement.
(5)		Lawful compliance
		The Issuer will at all times endeavour to ensure that all necessary action is taken and all necessary conditions are fulfilled (including, without limitation, the obtaining and, where relevant, maintenance in full force and effect of all necessary permissions, consents or approvals of all relevant governmental authorities) so that it may lawfully comply with its obligations under all Notes, the Agreements and, further, so that it may comply with any applicable laws, regulations and guidance from time to time promulgated by any governmental and regulatory authorities relevant in the context of the issue of Notes.
		The Issuer agrees to comply with the restrictions set out in paragraph 4 of Appendix B hereto.
(6)		Authorised representative
		The Issuer will notify the Dealers immediately in writing if any of the persons named in the list referred to in paragraph 3 of Part I of the Initial Documentation List ceases to be authorised to take action on its behalf or if any additional person becomes so authorised together, in the case of an additional authorised person, with evidence satisfactory to the Dealers that such person has been so authorised.
(7)		Auditors’ comfort letters
		The Issuer will (i) at the time of the preparation of the initial Base Prospectus, (ii) thereafter upon each occasion when the same may be revised, supplemented or amended, whether by means of information incorporated by reference or otherwise, (insofar as such revision, supplement, amendment or update concerns or contains financial information about the Issuer) and (iii) at other times whenever so requested by a Dealer (on the basis of reasonable grounds) deliver, at the expense of the Issuer to the Dealers a comfort letter or comfort letters from independent auditors of the Issuer in substantially the form and with such content as is consistent with the comfort letter or comfort letters delivered pursuant to the Initial Documentation List provided that no such letter or letters will be delivered under paragraph

17

		(ii) above if the only revision, supplement or amendment concerned is the publication or issue of any financial statements (including Form 10-K or 10-Q) of the Issuer.
		If at or prior to the time of any agreement to issue and purchase Notes under clause 2 such a request is made with respect to the Notes to be issued, the receipt of the relevant comfort letter or letters in a form satisfactory to the relevant Dealer shall be a further condition precedent to the issue of those Notes to that Dealer.
(8)		No other issues
		During the period commencing on an Agreement Date and ending on the Issue Date with respect to any Notes which are to be listed, the Issuer will not, without the prior consent of the relevant Dealer or, as the case may be, the Lead Manager, issue or agree to issue any other listed notes, bonds or other debt securities of whatsoever nature (other than Notes to be issued to the same Dealer) where such notes, bonds or other debt securities would have the same maturity and currency as the Notes to be issued on the relevant Issue Date.
(9)		Information on Noteholders’ meetings
		The Issuer will, at the same time as it is despatched, furnish the Dealers with a copy of every notice of a meeting of the holders of the Notes (or any of them) which is despatched at the instigation of the Issuer and will notify the Dealers immediately upon its becoming aware that a meeting of the holders of the Notes (or any of them) has otherwise been convened.
(10)		Ratings
		The Issuer undertakes promptly to notify the Dealers of any change in the ratings given by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and/or Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. of the Issuer’s debt or upon it becoming aware that such ratings are listed on “Creditwatch” or other similar publication of formal review by the relevant rating agency.
(11)		Commercial Paper

	(a)		the relevant Dealer covenants in the terms set out in paragraph 2(ii) of Appendix B; and
	(b)		the redemption value of each Note is not less than £100,000 (or an amount of equivalent value denominated wholly or partly in a currency other than sterling), and no part of any Note may be transferred unless the redemption value of that part is not less than £100,000 (or such an equivalent amount).

(12)		Notes having a maturity of 183 days or less
		In respect of any Tranche of Notes having a maturity of 183 days or less, the Issuer will issue such Notes only if the Notes have a denomination of not less than U.S.$500,000 or its equivalent (as determined based on the spot rate on the date of issuance if in a currency other than the U.S. dollar).

18

(13)		Annual Information Statement
		The Issuer undertakes that it will at least annually provide a document that contains or refers to all information published or made available to the public by it over the preceding 12 months in compliance with applicable securities laws, as required by Article 10 of the Prospectus Directive.
6.		INDEMNITY
(1)		Without prejudice to the other rights or remedies of the Dealers, the Issuer undertakes with the Dealers and each of them that it will hold each Dealer Indemnified Person indemnified against any and all loss, liability, claim, action, damage or expense which that Dealer Indemnified Person may incur or which may be made against it as a result of or in relation to:

	(a)		any actual or alleged breach of the representations, warranties and undertakings contained in, or made or deemed to be made by the Issuer pursuant to, this Agreement; or
	(b)		any untrue or misleading (or allegedly untrue or misleading) statement in, or any omission (or alleged omission) from, the Base Prospectus; or
	(c)		any untrue or misleading (or allegedly untrue or misleading) statement in any additional written information provided by the Issuer to the Dealers pursuant to clause 7 below,

		and such indemnity shall extend to include all costs, charges and expenses which that Dealer Indemnified Person may pay or incur in disputing or defending any claim or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Issuer under this clause; provided, however that this indemnity shall not apply to any Dealer in respect of any loss, liability, claim, action, damage or expense to the extent arising out of, or based upon, any untrue or misleading (or allegedly untrue or misleading) statement in, or any omission (or alleged omission) from, the Base Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Dealer expressly for use in the Base Prospectus.
(2)		Each Dealer severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, action, damage and expense with respect to any untrue or misleading statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Base Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Dealer expressly for use in the Base Prospectus and such indemnity shall extend to include all costs, charges and expenses which the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer may pay or incur in disputing or defending any claim or action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Dealer under this clause. As at the date hereof, the parties hereto agree that the only information supplied by a Dealer for use in the Base Prospectus as aforesaid is such Dealer’s legal and business name as appearing therein.
(3)		Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defence thereof with counsel reasonably

19

		satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party of its election to assume the defence of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this clause 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defence thereof; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless the named parties to any such action shall include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (other than local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party to the extent set forth in subclause (1) or (2) hereof, as applicable, from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(4)		If the indemnification provided for in this clause 6 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under clause 6(1) or clause 6(2) hereof in respect of any loss, liability, claim, action or damage referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, action or damage, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Dealer whose claim is subject to contribution, on the other, from the offering of the relevant Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and such Dealer, on the other, with respect to the breach of representations, warranties or undertakings or statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Dealers, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the relevant Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer bear to the total discounts and commissions received by any Dealer with respect to such offering. Where relevant, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or any Dealer, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Issuer and the Dealers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this clause 6(4) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Dealers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, liability, claim, action or damage, referred to above in this clause 6(4) shall

20

		be deemed to include, for purposes of this clause 6(4), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent not already paid or payable pursuant to another provisions of this clause 6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause 6(4), no Dealer shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes sold to such Dealer and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Dealer has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Dealers’ obligations under this clause 6(4) to contribute are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Notes purchased by each such Dealer in such offering and not joint.
7.		AUTHORITY TO DISTRIBUTE DOCUMENTS
		Subject to clause 8 below, the Issuer hereby authorises each of the Dealers on behalf of the Issuer to provide copies of the Base Prospectus (and any translation prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer of all or any part of the Base Prospectus or any summary drawn up pursuant to Article 19(4) of the Prospectus Directive, as the case may be) to actual and potential purchasers of Notes. Subject to clause 8 below, the Issuer hereby authorises each of the Dealers on behalf of the Issuer to provide copies of such additional written information as the Issuer shall provide to the Dealers and approve for the Dealers to use for such purpose to actual and potential purchasers of Notes.
8.		DEALERS’ UNDERTAKINGS
		Each Dealer agrees to comply with the restrictions and agreements set out in Appendix B hereto unless otherwise agreed with the Issuer.
9.		FEES, EXPENSES AND STAMP DUTIES
		The Issuer undertakes that it will:

	(a)		pay to each Dealer all commissions agreed between the Issuer and such Dealer in connection with the sale of any Notes to that Dealer (and any value added or other tax thereon);
	(b)		pay (together with any value added tax or other tax thereon):

	(i)		the fees and expenses of its legal advisers and auditors;
	(ii)		the cost of listing and maintaining the listing of any Notes which are to be listed on a Stock Exchange;
	(iii)		the cost of obtaining any credit rating for the Notes;
	(iv)		the fees and expenses of the agents appointed under the Agency Agreement; and
	(v)		all expenses in connection with the establishment of the Programme including, but not limited to, the preparation and printing of the Base

21

Prospectus, all amendments and supplements to it, replacements of it and the cost of any publicity agreed by the Issuer;

	(c)		pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers International (Europe) the reasonable fees and disbursements of the legal advisers appointed to represent the Dealers (including any value added tax or other tax thereon) in connection with the establishment of the Programme; and
	(d)		pay promptly, and in any event before any penalty becomes payable, any stamp, documentary, registration or similar duty or tax (including any stamp duty reserve tax) payable in connection with the issue, sale and/or delivery of any Note and/or the execution and/or delivery of any of the Agreements.

10.		TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT OF DEALERS
		The Issuer or (as to itself) a Dealer may terminate the arrangements described in this Agreement by giving not less than 30 days’ written notice to the other parties hereto. The Issuer may terminate the appointment of a Dealer or Dealers by giving not less than 30 days’ written notice to such Dealer or Dealers (with a copy promptly thereafter to all the other Dealers and the Agent). Termination shall not affect any rights or obligations (including but not limited to those arising under clauses 6, 8 and/or 9) which have accrued at the time of termination or which accrue thereafter in relation to any act or omission or alleged act or omission which occurred prior to such time.
11.		APPOINTMENT OF NEW DEALERS
(1)		Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Issuer from appointing one or more New Dealers for the duration of the Programme or, with regard to an issue of a particular Tranche of Notes, the Issuer from appointing one or more New Dealers for the purposes of that Tranche, in either case upon the terms of this Agreement and provided that, unless such appointment is effected pursuant to a Subscription Agreement:

	(a)		any New Dealer shall have first delivered to the Issuer an appropriate Dealer Accession Letter; and
	(b)		the Issuer shall have delivered to such New Dealer an appropriate Confirmation Letter.

(2)		Upon receipt of the relevant Confirmation Letter or execution of the relevant Subscription Agreement, as the case may be, each such New Dealer shall, subject to the terms of the relevant Dealer Accession Letter or the relevant Subscription Agreement, as the case may be, become a party to this Agreement, vested with all authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations of a Dealer as if originally named as a Dealer hereunder provided further that, except in the case of the appointment of a New Dealer for the duration of the Programme, following the Issue Date of the relevant Tranche, the relevant New Dealer shall have no further such authority, rights, powers, duties or obligations except such as may have accrued or been incurred prior to, or in connection with, the issue of such Tranche.
(3)		The Issuer shall promptly notify the other Dealers and the Agent of any appointment of a New Dealer for the duration of the Programme by supplying to such parties a copy of any Dealer Accession Letter and Confirmation Letter. Such notice shall be required to be given in the case of an appointment of a New Dealer for a particular Tranche of Notes to the Agent only.

22

12.		INCREASE IN THE AGGREGATE NOMINAL AMOUNT OF THE PROGRAMME
(1)		From time to time the Issuer may wish to increase the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Programme. In such circumstances, the Issuer may give notification of such an increase (subject as set out in subclause (2)) by delivering to the Listing Agent and the Dealers with a copy to the Agent a letter substantially in the form set out in Appendix D hereto. Upon the date specified in such notice (which date may not be earlier than seven London business days after the date the notice is given) and subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in subclause (2), all references in the Agreements to a Euro Medium Term Note Programme of a certain nominal amount shall be deemed to be references to a Euro Medium Term Note Programme of the increased nominal amount.
(2)		Notwithstanding subclause (1), the right of the Issuer to increase the aggregate nominal amount of the Programme shall be subject to each Dealer having received and found satisfactory all the documents and confirmations described in Part II of the Initial Documentation List (with such changes as may be relevant with reference to the circumstances at the time of the proposed increase as are agreed between the Issuer and the Dealers), and the satisfaction of any further conditions precedent that any of the Dealers may reasonably require, including, without limitation, the production of a new Base Prospectus or a supplement to the Base Prospectus by the Issuer and any further or other documents required by the relevant authority or authorities for the purpose of listing any Notes to be issued on the relevant Stock Exchange. The Arranger shall circulate to the Dealers all the documents and confirmations described in Part II of the Initial Documentation List and any further conditions precedent so required. Any Dealer must notify the Arranger and the Issuer within three London business days of receipt if it considers, in its reasonable opinion, such documents, confirmations and, if applicable, such further conditions precedent to be unsatisfactory and, in the absence of such notification, such Dealer shall be deemed to consider such documents and confirmations to be satisfactory and such further conditions precedent to be satisfied.
13.		STATUS OF THE DEALERS AND THE ARRANGER
(1)		Each of the Dealers agrees that the Arranger has only acted in an administrative capacity to facilitate the establishment and/or maintenance of the Programme and has no responsibility to it for (a) the adequacy, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of any representation, warranty, undertaking, agreement, statement or information in the Base Prospectus, any Final Terms, this Agreement or any information provided in connection with the Programme or (b) the nature and suitability to it of all legal, tax and accounting matters and all documentation in connection with the Programme or any Tranche.
(2)		The Arranger shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in this Agreement.
14.		COUNTERPARTS
		This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement and any party may enter into this Agreement by executing a counterpart.

23

However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

		Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such Proceedings in any such court and any claim that any such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and hereby further irrevocably agrees that a judgment in any such Proceedings brought in the Courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
		Nothing contained in this clause shall limit any right to take Proceedings against any party to this Agreement in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
20.		EFFECTIVE DATE
		This Agreement shall apply in relation to issues of Notes made on or after 5th September, 2008 but without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties under the Principal Programme Agreement in respect of any issue of Notes prior to this date.

This Agreement is made pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated Programme Agreement as amended and/or supplemented from time to time (the “Programme Agreement”) dated 5th September, 2008 between the Issuer and the Dealers party thereto.

	(i)		the sum payable on the Issue Date shall represent the Purchase Price less any amount payable in respect of Managers’ expenses as provided in the agreement referred to in clause 4 of this Agreement);
	(ii)		“Issue Date” means [specify] a.m. ([specify] time) on [specify] or such other time and/or date as the Issuer and the Lead Manager on behalf of the Managers may agree; and
	(iii)		“Payment Instruction Date” means the Issue Date unless there is to be a pre-closing for the issue in which case it means the business day (being a day on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London) prior to the Issue Date.

4.		The arrangements in relation to expenses have been separately agreed between the Issuer and the Lead Manager.
5.		The obligation of the Managers to purchase the Notes is conditional upon:

	(i)		the conditions set out in clause 3(2) (other than that set out in clause 3(2)(f)) of the Programme Agreement being satisfied as of the Payment Instruction Date (on the basis that the references therein to “relevant Dealer” shall be construed as references to the Lead Manager) and without prejudice to the aforesaid, the Base Prospectus dated [specify] , as supplemented by [[          ] and] the Final Terms attached hereto as Annex A, containing or incorporating by reference all material information relating to the assets and liabilities, financial position and profits and losses of the Issuer and nothing having happened or being expected to happen which would require the Base Prospectus [, as so supplemented,] to be [further] supplemented or updated; and
	(ii)		the delivery to the Lead Manager on the Payment Instruction Date of:

39

	(A)		legal opinions addressed to the Managers dated the Payment Instruction Date in such form and with such contents as the Lead Manager, on behalf of the Managers, may reasonably require from the general counsel of the Issuer, O’Melveny & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, the legal advisers to the Issuer and ▇▇▇▇▇ & Overy LLP, the legal advisers to the Managers;
	(B)		a certificate dated as at the Payment Instruction Date signed by a duly authorised officer of the Issuer giving confirmation to the effect stated in paragraph (i) of this clause;
	(C)		a comfort letter dated the Payment Instruction Date from the independent auditors of the Issuer, in such form and with such content as the Managers may reasonably request; and
	(D)		such other conditions precedent as the Lead Manager may require.

		If any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied on or before the Payment Instruction Date, this Agreement shall terminate on such date and the parties hereto shall be under no further liability arising out of this Agreement (except for any liability of the Issuer in relation to expenses as provided in the agreement referred to in clause 4 and except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination), provided that the Lead Manager, on behalf of the Managers, may in its discretion waive any of the aforesaid conditions (other than the condition precedent contained in clause 3(2)(c) of the Programme Agreement) or any part of them.
6.		The Lead Manager, on behalf of the Managers, may, by notice to the Issuer, terminate this Agreement at any time prior to payment of the net purchase money to the Issuer if any of the following occurs (after the date of this Agreement): (a) a suspension or material limitation (including any setting of minimum prices) in trading securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange or any stock exchange on which such Notes are to be listed if the effect of any such event, in the judgment of the relevant Dealer or, if more than one, the relevant Lead Manager on behalf of the relevant Dealers, is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation by such relevant Dealer(s) of offers to purchase Notes or the purchase of Notes from the Issuer as principal on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, as amended or supplemented; (b) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, in Europe declared by the European Central Bank or, in respect of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain or the United Kingdom, declared by the relevant national authorities, or in respect of the country (if not included in the foregoing list of countries) in whose currency the payments of interest or principal on the Notes are denominated, declared by the relevant national authority; (c) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain or the United Kingdom or the country (if not included in the foregoing list of countries) in whose currency the payments of interest or principal on the Notes are denominated, or the declaration by any such country of a national emergency of war (other than any such outbreak, escalation or declaration that does not represent a significant departure from the conditions that exist on the date of this Agreement) if the effect of any such event, in the judgment of the relevant Dealer or, if more than one, the relevant Lead Manager on behalf of the relevant Dealers, is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation by such relevant Dealer(s) of offers to purchase Notes or the purchase of Notes from the relevant Issuer as principal on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, as amended or supplemented; (d) the suspension in trading in the securities of the Issuer on any national securities exchange or

40

		quotation system on which they are listed or quoted if the effect of such event, in the judgment of the relevant Dealer or, if more than one, the relevant Lead Manager on behalf of the relevant Dealers, is to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation by such relevant Dealer(s) of offers to purchase Notes or the purchase of Notes from the Issuer as principal on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, as amended or supplemented; (e) any downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating accorded the Issuer’s senior debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; or (f) any material change in or affecting the business or properties of the Issuer that, in the judgment of the relevant Dealer or, if more than one, the relevant Lead Manager on behalf of the relevant Dealers, materially impairs the investment quality of the Notes.
7.		Clause 19 of the Programme Agreement shall also apply to this Agreement as if expressly incorporated herein.
8.		This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement and any party may enter into this Agreement by executing a counterpart.
