(d) Forthwith upon determining the end of the Restricted Period in respect of any Tranche of Bearer Notes, the Principal Agent shall notify such determination to the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or the Lead Manager in the case of a syndicated issue.

(3) Upon any exchange of all or a part of an interest in a Bearer Temporary Global Note for an interest in a Bearer Permanent Global Note or upon any exchange of all or a part of an interest in either a Bearer Temporary Global Note or a Bearer Permanent Global Note for Bearer Definitive Notes, the Principal Agent shall (i) procure that the relevant Global Note shall, if it is a CGN, be endorsed by or on behalf of the Principal Agent to

reflect the reduction of its nominal amount by the aggregate nominal amount so exchanged and, where applicable, the Bearer Permanent Global Note shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Principal Agent to reflect the increases in its nominal amount as a result of any exchange for an interest in the Bearer Temporary Global Note or (ii) in the case of any Bearer Global Note which is a NGN, instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such exchange. Until exchanged in full, the holder of an interest in any Bearer Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the holder of Bearer Definitive Notes, Receipts and Coupons authenticated and delivered under this Agreement, subject as set out in the Terms and Conditions. The Principal Agent is authorized on behalf of the Issuer and instructed (a) in the case of any Global Note which is a CGN, to endorse or to arrange for the endorsement of the relevant Global Note to reflect the reduction in the nominal amount represented by it by the amount so exchanged and, if appropriate, to endorse the Bearer Permanent Global Note to reflect any increase in the nominal amount represented by it and, in either case, to sign in the relevant space on the relevant Global Note recording the exchange and reduction or increase, (b) in the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, to instruct Euroclear and Clearstream to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such exchange and (c) in the case of a total exchange, to cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the relevant Global Note.

(5) Any exchange of all or a part of an interest in a Bearer Temporary Global Note for an interest in a Bearer Permanent Global Note, any exchange of all or a part of an interest in either a Bearer Temporary Global Note or a Bearer Permanent Global Note for Bearer Definitive Notes, and any delivery of a Bearer Note shall be made only outside the United States and its possessions.

Issue of Definitive Notes and Registered Definitive Certificates

(1) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, on or after the Exchange Date interests in a Bearer Global Note will be exchangeable for Bearer Definitive Notes with Coupons attached: (i) as to Bearer Permanent Global Notes, on not less than 60 calendar days’ written notice from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in the applicable Bearer Permanent Global Note), (ii) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) occurs and is continuing, (iii) if the Issuer is notified that either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg has been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) after the original issuance of the Bearer Notes or has announced an intention permanently to cease business or has in fact done so and no alternative clearance system approved by the Noteholders is available, or (iv) if the Issuer, after notice to the Principal Agent, determines to issue the applicable Bearer Notes in definitive form. Upon the occurrence of these events, the Principal Agent shall deliver the relevant Bearer Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the terms of the relevant Bearer Global Note. For this purpose, the Principal Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Issuer:

(a) to authenticate such Bearer Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(b) to deliver such Bearer Definitive Note(s) to or to the order of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg in exchange for such Bearer Global Note.

The Principal Agent shall notify the Issuer forthwith upon receipt of a request for issue of Bearer Definitive Note(s) in accordance with the provisions of a Bearer Global Note and this Agreement (and the aggregate principal amount of such Bearer Temporary Global Note or Bearer Permanent Global Note, as the case may be, to be exchanged in connection therewith).

(2) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, interests in a Registered Global Note will be exchangeable for Registered Definitive Notes: (i) if the Issuer is notified that Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg has been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) after the issuance of the Registered Global Note or has announced an

intention permanently to cease business or has in fact done so and no alternative clearance system approved by the Noteholders is available, (ii) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) occurs and is continuing, or (iii) if the Issuer, after notice to the Principal Agent, determines to issue the applicable Registered Notes in definitive form. Upon the occurrence of these events, the Principal Agent shall deliver the relevant Registered Definitive Certificates in accordance with the terms of the relevant Registered Global Note. For this purpose, the Registrar is hereby authorized on behalf of the Issuer:

(a) to authenticate such Registered Definitive Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(b) to deliver such Registered Definitive Certificates to or to the order of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or any alternative clearing system in exchange for such Registered Global Certificate.

(3) The Issuer undertakes to deliver to the Principal Agent and the Registrar sufficient numbers of executed Bearer Definitive Notes with, if applicable, Receipts, Coupons and Talons attached, and sufficient numbers of Registered Definitive Certificates to enable the Principal Agent and the Registrar to comply with their respective obligations under this Clause 7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Agent shall not deliver a Bearer Definitive Note unless a certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership is furnished or has previously been received. Any such certification shall contain all certifications and information set forth in the form set out in Schedule 7 hereto, and shall be retained by the Principal Agent, and a copy shall be furnished to the Issuer, in accordance with Clause 6(1)(c) above.

Terms of Issue

(1) The Principal Agent and Registrar shall cause all Bearer Temporary Global Notes, Bearer Permanent Global Notes, Bearer Definitive Notes, Registered Global Certificates and Registered Definitive Certificates that are delivered to and held by it under this Agreement to be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that such Notes are issued only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the relevant Global Note and the Terms and Conditions.

(2) Subject to the procedures set out in the Procedures Memorandum, for the purposes of Clause 5(1), the Principal Agent and Registrar are entitled to treat a telephone, email or facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Principal Agent or Registrar believes in good faith to be) the authorized representative of the Issuer named in the lists referred to in, or notified pursuant to, Clause 21(7) as sufficient instructions and authority of the Issuer for the Principal Agent or Registrar, as applicable, to act in accordance with Clause 5(1).

(3) If a person who has signed on behalf of the Issuer any Bearer Note or Registered Certificate not yet issued but held by the Principal Agent or Registrar in accordance with Clause 5(1) ceases to be authorized as described in Clause 21(7), the Principal Agent or Registrar, as applicable (unless the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Agent or Registrar, as applicable, that Notes signed by that person do not constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer or otherwise until replacements have been provided to the Principal Agent or Registrar, as applicable), shall continue to have authority to issue any such Notes, and the Issuer hereby warrants to the Principal Agent and Registrar that such Notes shall be, unless notified as aforesaid, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer. Promptly upon such person ceasing to be authorized, the Issuer shall provide the Principal Agent with replacement Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates (as applicable). Upon receipt of such replacement Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates, the Principal Agent or Registrar, as applicable, shall cancel and destroy the Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates held by it which are signed by such person and upon written request shall provide to the Issuer a confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying the Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates so cancelled and destroyed.

(4) If the Principal Agent pays an amount (the “Advance”) to the Issuer on the basis that a payment (the “Payment”) has been, or will be, received from a Dealer and if the Payment is not received by the

Principal Agent on the date the Principal Agent pays the Issuer, the Principal Agent shall notify the Issuer by tested facsimile or email that the Payment has not been received and the Issuer shall repay to the Principal Agent the Advance and shall pay interest on the Advance (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) from (and including) the date such Advance is made to (but excluding) the earlier of repayment of the Advance and receipt by the Principal Agent of the Payment (at a rate quoted at that time by the Principal Agent as its cost of funding the Advance).

(5) Except in the case of issues where the Principal Agent does not act as receiving bank for the Issuer in respect of the purchase price of the Notes being issued, if on the relevant Issue Date, a Dealer does not pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Note (the “Defaulted Note”) and, as a result, the Defaulted Note remains in the Principal Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg after such Issue Date, the Principal Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note pursuant to the order of the Issuer. The Principal Agent shall notify the Issuer forthwith of the failure of the Dealer to pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Defaulted Note and, subsequently, shall notify the Issuer forthwith upon receipt from the Dealer of the full purchase price in respect of such Defaulted Note and to pay to the Issuer the amount so received.

Payments

(1) Subject to sub-clause 12 below, the Principal Agent shall advise the Issuer, as soon as shall be practicable preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Principal Agent pursuant to this sub-clause (1) of the payment amount, value date and payment instructions and the Issuer will before 10:00 a.m. (London time) on each date on which any payment in respect of any Notes issued by it becomes due, transfer to an account specified by the Principal Agent such amount in the relevant currency as shall be sufficient for the purposes of such payment in funds settled through such payment system as the Principal Agent and the Issuer may agree.

(2) The Issuer will ensure that no later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the second Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Principal Agent pursuant to sub-clause (1), the Principal Agent shall receive from the paying bank of the Issuer an irrevocable confirmation in the form of an authenticated SWIFT message that such payment shall be made. For the purposes of this Clause 9, “Business Day” means a day which is both:

(a) a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and New York and any additional business center(s) specified in the applicable Final Terms (“Additional Business Center(s)”); and

(b) either (1) for any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centers (as defined below) of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London) or (2) for any sum payable in euro, a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (“TARGET2 System”) or any successor thereto is operating.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial center of any country for the purpose of this Clause 9 shall be the relevant financial centers (if any) specified for the relevant Specified Currency in Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 of the ISDA Definitions, except that the principal financial center for Australian Dollars shall be Melbourne and Sydney, the principal financial center for Canadian Dollars shall be Toronto, and the principal financial center for New Zealand Dollars shall be Wellington.

(3) The Principal Agent shall ensure that payments of principal, interest and any other amount in respect of any Bearer Temporary Global Note will be made only to the extent that certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations has been received from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg in accordance with the terms thereof. Any such certification shall contain all certifications and information set forth in the form set out in Schedule 7, and be retained by the Principal Agent, and a copy shall be furnished to the Issuer, in accordance with Clause 6(1)(c) above.

(4) Subject to the receipt by the Principal Agent of payment as provided in sub-clause (1) above, the Principal Agent or the relevant Paying Agent shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect of the Notes on behalf of the Issuer in the manner provided in the Terms and Conditions. If any payment provided for in sub-clause (1) is made late but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Principal Agent and each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes as aforesaid following receipt by it of such payment.

(5) If for any reason the Principal Agent considers in its sole discretion that the amounts to be received by the Principal Agent pursuant to sub-clause (1) will be, or the amounts actually received by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then falling due in respect of the Notes, neither the Principal Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be obliged to pay any such claims until the Principal Agent has received the full amount of all such payments. Should the Principal Agent or any Paying Agent elect not to make payment of amounts falling due in respect of the Notes as aforesaid, it shall advise the Issuer of any such decision as soon as practicable by telephone with confirmation by facsimile or e-mail.

(6) Without prejudice to sub-clauses (4) and (5), if the Principal Agent pays any amounts to the holders of Notes, Receipts or Coupons or to any Paying Agent at a time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant Notes in accordance with sub-clause (1) (the excess of the amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the “Shortfall”), the Issuer will, in addition to paying amounts due under sub-clause (1), pay to the Principal Agent on demand interest (at a rate which represents the Principal Agent’s cost of funding the Shortfall) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Principal Agent of the Shortfall.

(7) The Principal Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments in respect of Notes properly made by such Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Terms and Conditions unless the Principal Agent has notified the Paying Agent, prior to the opening of business in the location of the office of the Paying Agent through which payment in respect of the Notes can be made prior to the day on which such Principal Agent has to give payment instructions in respect of the due date of a payment in respect of the Notes, that the Principal Agent does not expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts falling due in respect of such Notes.

(8) If the Principal Agent pays out on or after the due date therefor, or becomes liable to pay out, funds on the assumption that a corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or will be made and such payment has in fact not been made by the Issuer, then the Issuer shall on demand reimburse the Principal Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Principal Agent on such amount from the date on which it is paid out to the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the cost to the Principal Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Principal Agent and expressed as a rate per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Terms and Conditions as to subordination shall not apply to the Issuer’s obligations under this sub-clause (8).

(9) While any Notes are represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered Global Certificate, all payments or deliveries due in respect of such Notes shall be made to, or to the order of, the holder of the Bearer Global Note or with respect to the Registered Global Certificate, the person or persons for the time being shown in the Register maintained by the Registrar as the Noteholder or Noteholders, subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Bearer Global Note or Registered Global Certificates. In the case of a CGN, the Paying Agent to which any Bearer Global Note was presented for the purpose of making such payment shall cause the appropriate Schedule to the relevant Global Note to be annotated so as to evidence the amounts and dates of such payments of principal, interest or other amounts, as applicable. In the case of any Bearer Global Note which is a NGN, the Principal Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such payment.

(10) All payments in respect of any Bearer Note shall be made outside the United States and its possessions and shall not be made by transfer to an account at a bank, or delivered to an address, located inside the United States or its possessions by any office or agency of the Issuer, the Principal Agent, or any Paying Agent. Terms used in this sub-clause shall have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder.

(11) If the amount of principal, interest or other amounts then due for payment is not paid in full (otherwise than by reason of a deduction required by law to be made therefrom), (i) the Paying Agent to which a Bearer Note is presented for the purpose of making such payment shall, unless the Bearer Note is a NGN, make a record of such shortfall on the Bearer Note and such record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has not to that extent been made or (ii) in the case of any Bearer Global Note which is a NGN, the Principal Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such shortfall in payment.

(12) If any payments or deliveries due on any Physical Delivery Notes, as defined in the Terms and Conditions, including pursuant to sub-clause 10 above, are required to be paid by delivery of any asset other than cash, then neither the Principal Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible hereunder for the delivery of such non-cash consideration. Instead, the delivery of such non-cash consideration shall be effected or procured by the Delivery Agent in the manner provided by the Delivery Agency Agreement upon receipt of an Asset Transfer Notice from the relevant Noteholder in the manner contemplated by the Terms and Conditions. No Physical Delivery Amount shall be delivered in the United States or its possessions, transferred to an account at a bank or delivered to an address located inside the United States or its possessions, or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). For purposes of taking any action required to be taken by the Principal Agent hereunder, including, but not limited to, any notations required to be made on the Notes, the Principal Agent may rely upon any notification delivered to it by the Delivery Agent pursuant to the Delivery Agency Agreement as to the amounts delivered by the Delivery Agent thereunder (or any shortfall, as the case may be) on any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or any other relevant payment date.

10.

Determinations and Notifications in Respect of Notes and Interest Determination

(1) The Principal Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations (howsoever described) as it is required to do under the Terms and Conditions, all subject to and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, provided that certain calculations with respect to the Notes, and associated publication or notification, shall be made by the relevant Calculation Agent in accordance with the relevant Calculation Agency Agreement.

(2) For the purposes of monitoring the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Program, the Principal Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the principal amount of each issue of Notes denominated in another currency, each issue of Partly Paid Notes, Index Linked Notes, Share Linked Notes, Inflation Linked Notes, Commodity Linked Notes, FX Linked Notes, Hybrid Notes, Notes Linked to other Underlying Assets and Dual Currency Notes as follows:

(a) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Notes denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be determined as of the Agreement Date for such Notes on the basis of the spot rate for the sale of the U.S. Dollar against the purchase of the relevant currency quoted by a foreign exchange dealer selected by the Issuer on the relevant day of calculation;

(b) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Index Linked Notes, Share Linked Notes, Inflation Linked Notes, Commodity Linked Notes, FX Linked Notes, Hybrid Notes, Dual Currency Notes, and Notes Linked to other Underlying Assets shall be calculated as specified above by reference to the original nominal amount of such Notes;

(c) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Partly Paid Notes shall be determined as specified above by reference to the original principal amount of such Notes regardless of the amount paid on the Notes; and

(d) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Zero Coupon Notes and other Notes that are issued at a discount or premium (other than a de minimis discount in the ordinary course), shall be calculated as specified above by reference to the net proceeds received by the Issuer for the relevant issue.

11.

Withholding Taxes

(1) Prior to the first payment on any Note, the Principal Agent shall have submitted to the Issuer, or shall have on file with the Issuer, a properly executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, and any Paying Agent with respect to such Note shall have submitted to the Issuer, or shall have on file with the Issuer, such IRS form as the Issuer shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

(2) In respect of all Notes the payments on which are specified in the applicable Final Terms as being subject to United States withholding taxes, the Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to such Note shall, unless otherwise notified by the Issuer, withhold United States federal income tax in accordance with U.S. law on all payments as specified in the applicable Final Terms, forward the amount withheld to the IRS, and comply with any U.S. tax reporting requirements.

(3) If the Issuer, in respect of any payment not described in Clause 11(2) above, is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges, the Issuer shall give written notice thereof to the Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to such Note as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make such withholding or deduction and shall give to the Principal Agent and such Paying Agent such information as the Principal Agent or such Paying Agent shall require to enable it to comply with such requirement, and the Principal Agent and Paying Agent shall comply with such requirement.

(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in respect of all Registered Notes, the Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to the Notes shall collect IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-9 (or any successor forms thereto) or other appropriate tax forms from the Noteholders and withhold taxes to the extent required by law.

(5) The Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to a Note shall report payments to the Noteholders and the IRS as appropriate under U.S. law.

(6) The Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to a Note shall provide the Issuer with any information required by the Issuer in connection with the Principal Agent’s compliance with the tax requirements of this Clause 11.

12.

Duties of the Principal Agent in Connection with Early Redemption, Put Notices and Asset Transfer Notices

(1) If so permitted by the applicable Final Terms, and subject to the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, if the Issuer decides to redeem any outstanding Notes (in whole or in part) for the time being outstanding prior to their Maturity Date or the Interest Payment Date falling in the redemption month (as the case may be) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Issuer shall give 7 calendar days written notice of such decision to the Principal Agent on or prior to the date on which the Issuer will give notice of such redemption to the Noteholders in accordance with the Terms and Conditions in order to enable the Principal Agent to undertake its obligations herein and in the Terms and Conditions.

(2) If only some of the Notes of like tenor and of the same Series are to be redeemed on such date, the Principal Agent shall make the required drawing in accordance with the Terms and Conditions but shall give the Issuer reasonable notice of the time and place proposed for such drawing. Where partial redemptions are to be effected when there are Definitive Notes outstanding, the Principal Agent will select by lot the Notes to be redeemed from the outstanding Notes in compliance with all applicable laws and stock exchange requirements and deemed by the Principal Agent to be appropriate and fair. Where partial redemptions are to be effected when there are no Definitive Notes outstanding, the rights of Noteholders will be governed by the standard provisions of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (to be reflected in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion). Notice of any partial redemption and, when there are Definitive Notes outstanding, of the serial numbers of the Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates so drawn, will be given by the Principal Agent to the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement.

(3) On behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer, the Principal Agent shall publish the notice required in connection with any such redemption and shall at the same time also publish a separate list of the serial numbers of any Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates previously drawn and not presented for redemption. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption amount, the record date, the manner in which redemption will be effected and, in the case of a partial redemption, the serial numbers of the Notes to be redeemed and the nominal amounts of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice will be published in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. The Principal Agent also will notify the other Paying Agents of any date fixed for redemption of any Notes. In addition, the Principal Agent shall send to each holder of Registered Notes that are called in whole or in part for redemption or exercise of any option, at its address shown in the Register, a copy of such notice together with details of such Noteholder’s Registered Notes called for redemption or subject to any option and the extent of such redemption or the terms of the exercise of such option.

(4) Immediately prior to the date on which any notice of redemption is to be given to the Noteholders, the Issuer shall deliver to the Principal Agent a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that all conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred or been satisfied and shall comply with all notice requirements provided for in the Terms and Conditions.

(5) Each Paying Agent, with respect to Bearer Notes, and each Transfer Agent, with respect to Registered Notes, will keep a stock of Put Notices for Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Notes in the form set out in Schedule 10 hereto, and will make such notices available on demand to Noteholders of such Notes for which the Terms and Conditions provide for redemption at the option of Noteholders. Each Paying Agent, with respect to Bearer Notes, or Transfer Agent, with respect to Registered Notes, shall promptly transfer a copy of any valid Put Notice that it receives to the Issuer and the Principal Agent. Upon receipt of any Bearer Definitive Note or Registered Definitive Certificate deposited in the exercise of such option in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Paying Agent, with respect to Bearer Notes, or Transfer Agent, with respect to Registered Notes, with which such Bearer Note or Registered Certificate is deposited shall hold such Bearer Note (together with any Coupons, if any, relating to it and deposited with it) or Registered Certificate on behalf of the depositing Noteholder (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until the due date for redemption of the relevant Note consequent upon the exercise of such option, when, subject as provided below and Clause 9(12) above, it shall present such Bearer Note (and any such Coupons, if any) to itself and the Issuer for payment of the amount due thereon together with any interest and any other amounts due on such date in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and shall pay such amounts in accordance with Condition 6, and if applicable, the directions of such Noteholder contained in the Put Notice. In the event of exercise of any other option, each Paying Agent, with respect to Bearer Notes or Transfer Agent, with respect to Registered Notes, shall take steps required of it in the Terms and Conditions and, in the case of Registered Notes, Clause 17. If, prior to such due date for its redemption, such Note becomes immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation payment of such redemption monies is improperly withheld or refused, the applicable Paying Agent or Transfer Agent shall post such Bearer Note (together with any such Coupons, if any) or such Registered Certificate by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Noteholder unless the Noteholder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by the Noteholder in the Put Notice or, in the case of Registered Notes where no address has been given, to the address appearing in the Register. At the end of each period for the exercise of such option, each Paying Agent and each Transfer Agent shall promptly notify the Principal Agent of the principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such option has been exercised with it, together with their serial numbers (or those of the Registered Certificates representing them), and the Principal Agent shall promptly notify such details to the Issuer.

(6) Each Paying Agent and Transfer Agent will keep a stock of Asset Transfer Notices for (in the case of the Paying Agents) Bearer Definitive Notes and (in the case of the Transfer Agent) Registered Definitive Notes which are Physical Delivery Notes in the form set out in Schedule 13, and will make such notices available on demand to holders of such Notes. Each Paying Agent, with respect to Bearer Notes, and the Transfer Agent, with respect to Registered Notes, shall promptly transfer a copy of any valid Asset Transfer Notice that it receives to the Issuer and the Principal Agent. Upon receipt of any Note deposited in connection with the delivery of any Physical Delivery Amount as to a Physical Delivery Note, the Paying Agent or Transfer Agent with which such Bearer Note or Registered Certificate is deposited shall hold such Bearer Note (together with any Coupons, if

any, relating to it and deposited with it) or Registered Certificate on behalf of the depositing Noteholder of such Bearer Note or Registered Certificate (but shall not, except as provided below, release it) until the due date for delivery of the applicable Physical Delivery Amount of the relevant Note, when, subject as provided below and Clause 9(12) above, it shall present such Bearer Note (and any such Coupons, if any) or Registered Certificate, together with the serial numbers of the applicable Bearer Notes or Registered Certificates, to itself, the Issuer and the Delivery Agent for delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount due thereon in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. If, prior to such due date for delivery, such Note becomes immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation, delivery or payment of the Physical Delivery Amount or any monies is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent shall post such Bearer Note (together with any such Coupons, if any) or Registered Certificate by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Noteholder of such Note unless such Noteholder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Bearer Notes or Registered Certificate at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by such Noteholder in the Asset Transfer Notice.

(7) The Principal Agent shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event not later than 3:00 p.m. (local time) on the following Business Day on which a duly completed Asset Transfer Notice is delivered to it), notify the Issuer, the Calculation Agent (if applicable), and the Delivery Agent of details of the Notes in respect of which an Asset Transfer Notice has been delivered by any holder of Notes (such notification to be in such form and in such manner as the Issuer, the relevant Dealer, the Calculation Agent, and (if applicable) the Delivery Agent may reasonably request from time to time).

(8) The Principal Agent shall keep a full and complete record of all Notes and of their exercise, redemption and cancellation in accordance with this Clause 12 and make such records available at all reasonable times to the Issuer and any persons authorized by it for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

(9) The Principal Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the date on which all the Notes represented by any Bearer Global Note or by any Registered Global Certificate have been exercised or redeemed or have expired or have become null and void and upon delivery by or on behalf of the common depositary (in the case of a Global Note issued in CGN form or a Registered Global Certificate) or the common safekeeper (in the case of a Bearer Global Note issued in NGN form) of the relevant Bearer Global Note or Registered Global Certificate to the Principal Agent, cancel the relevant Bearer Global Note or Registered Global Certificate or cause it to be cancelled and thereafter, unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer, destroy the relevant Bearer Global Note or Registered Global Certificate and upon written request by the Issuer certify such destruction to the Issuer.

13.

Receipt and Publication of Notices

(1) Upon the receipt by the Principal Agent of a demand or notice from any Noteholder in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Principal Agent shall forward a copy thereof to the Issuer.

(2) On behalf of and at the request and expense of the Issuer, the Principal Agent shall cause to be published all notices required to be given by the Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

(3) The Principal Agent shall have no responsibility to obtain the certificate of the Issuer delivered by the Issuer to the Principal Agent pursuant to Condition 6 if such a certificate is required to be issued, nor shall the Principal Agent have any responsibility to notify the Issuer if such a certificate is required to be issued.

14.

Cancellation of Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons

(1) All Bearer Notes which are redeemed, all Receipts or Coupons which are paid, all Talons which are exchanged, and all Registered Certificates representing Registered Notes that are redeemed, shall be delivered outside the United States and its possessions to the Principal Agent, and shall be cancelled by the Principal Agent or Transfer Agent through which they are redeemed, paid or exchanged. In addition, the Issuer shall notify the Principal Agent or Transfer Agent, as applicable, in writing of all Notes which are purchased by or

on behalf of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries and all such Notes (or Registered Certificates in respect of Registered Notes) surrendered to the Principal Agent for cancellation, together (in the case of Bearer Definitive Notes) with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons or Talons (if any) attached thereto or surrendered therewith, shall be cancelled by the Principal Agent.

(2) The Issuer shall have the right to request that the Principal Agent in the case of Bearer Notes, or the Registrar, in the case of Registered Notes, provide, without limitation, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of Notes which have been redeemed and the aggregate amount paid in respect thereof;

EURO MEDIUM-TERM NOTES

BEARER TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE


COMMON CODE:										ISIN:

This Global Note is a Temporary Global Note in bearer form without interest coupons in respect of a duly authorized Series of Euro Medium-Term Notes (the “Notes”) of Bank of America Corporation (the “Issuer”) described, and having the provisions specified, in the applicable Final Terms (the “Final Terms”), which provisions are incorporated herein. References herein to the Terms and Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in Schedules 6-1 and 6-2 to the Agency Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out in the Final Terms and which are incorporated herein by reference, but in the event of any conflict between the provisions of those Schedules and the information set out in the Final Terms, the Final Terms will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the Terms and Conditions and/or the Final Terms shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Terms and Conditions and an Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement,” which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended, revised and/or supplemented from time to time) dated as of July 22, 2009, and made among Bank of America Corporation, Bank of America, N.A., London Branch (the “Principal Agent”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ International Bank Limited (the “Transfer Agent” and “Registrar” in respect of Registered Notes) and the other agents named therein.

For value received, the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Installment Date the amount payable on such Installment Date in respect of the Notes represented by this Global Note (if the Notes represented by this Global Note are Installment Notes) and on the Maturity Date, on the Interest Payment Date, or on the Delivery Date, as the case may be, or on such earlier date as any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become due and payable in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the amount payable or deliverable, as the case may be, on redemption of such Notes then represented by this Global Note becoming so due and payable, and to pay interest (if any) or to deliver any Physical Delivery Amount (if any) on the Notes from time to time represented by this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Terms and Conditions together with any other sums payable under the Terms and Conditions, upon presentation and following the delivery of an Asset Transfer Notice (in the case of Physical Delivery Notes) as provided in the Agency Agreement, and, at maturity, surrender of this Global Note to or to the order of the Principal Agent or any of the other paying agents located outside the United States and its possessions (except as provided in the Terms and Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes, but in each case subject to the requirements as to certification provided herein.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the aggregate amount from time to time entered in the records of both Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg” and, together with Euroclear, the “Relevant Clearing Systems”). The records of the Relevant Clearing Systems (which expression in this Global Note means the records that each Relevant Clearing System holds for its customers which reflect the amount of such customer’s interest in the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note and, for these purposes, a statement issued by a Relevant Clearing System (which statement shall be made available to the bearer upon request) stating the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the Relevant Clearing System at that time.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently recorded by or on behalf of the Issuer, in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2.

On any redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation of any of the Notes represented by this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the nominal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems and represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or by the amount of such installment so paid; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 hereto recording any such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation, the principal amount of such Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled.

Prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on this Global Note will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is presented to the Principal Agent by Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear, a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 7 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular principal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of the certificate as set out in Schedule 8 to the Agency Agreement. Payments or deliveries due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Global Note shall be made to the bearer of this Global Note and each payment so made will discharge the Issuer’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall not affect such discharge. After the Exchange Date, the bearer of this Global Note will not be entitled to receive any payment of interest hereon.

On or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) this Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part (free of charge) for, as specified in the Final Terms, either (a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, interests recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems in a Bearer Permanent Global Note or, if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, a Bearer Permanent Global Note, which, in either case, is in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Final Terms attached to it), in each case upon notice being given by a Relevant Clearing System acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Global Note or, (b) under certain limited circumstances, security printed Definitive Notes and, (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Parts I, II, III, and IV respectively of Schedule 3 to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes) and subject to such notice period as is specified in the Final Terms. The “Exchange Date” for this Global Note will normally be the 40th calendar day after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of the Global Note and the closing date for the Global Note. However, if the Issuer, a Dealer or any distributor, as defined in Treasury Regulation Sec. 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(4), holds a Note represented by this Global Note as part of an unsold allotment or subscription for more than 40 calendar days after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of the Global Note and the closing date for the Global Note, the Exchange Date with respect to such Note will be the day after the date on which the Issuer, Dealer or distributor sells such Note.

This Global Note may be exchanged by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London. The Issuer shall procure that Definitive Notes and interests in the Bearer Permanent Global Note shall be so issued and delivered and (in the case of the Bearer Permanent Global Note where the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note) recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing System in exchange for only that portion of this Global Note in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Principal Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 7 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in a particular principal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate from such person in or substantially in the form of the certificate set out in Schedule 8 to the Agency Agreement, unless such certificate has already been given in accordance with the above provisions. The aggregate principal amount of interests in a Bearer Permanent Global Note issued upon an exchange of this Global Note subject to the terms hereof, will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note submitted by the bearer hereof for exchange (to the extent that such principal amount does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note).

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the Principal Agent. On an exchange of only part of this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered pro rata in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer and the principal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount so exchanged.

If, following the issue of a Bearer Permanent Global Note in exchange for some of the Notes represented by this Global Note, further Notes represented by this Global Note are to be exchanged for interests in a Bearer Permanent Global Note, such exchange may be effected, subject as provided herein, without the issue of a new Bearer Permanent Global Note, (i) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, recording the details of such increase in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems, or (ii) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, by the Issuer or its agent endorsing Schedule 2 of the Bearer Permanent Global Note previously issued to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of such Bearer Permanent Global Note by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Bearer Permanent Global Note which would otherwise have been issued on such exchange.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled to the same benefits as if such bearer were the bearer of Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Parts I, II, III and Part IV, respectively, of Schedule 3 to the Agency Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Bearer Temporary Global Note, the Issuer irrevocably agrees, for the benefit of such Noteholders and their successors and assigns, that each Noteholder or its successors or assigns may file without the consent and to the exclusion of the bearer hereof, any claim, take any action or institute any proceeding to enforce, directly against the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer hereunder to pay any amount due or to become due in respect of each Note represented by this Bearer Temporary Global Note which is credited to such Noteholder’s securities account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg without the production of this Bearer Temporary Global Note; provided that the bearer hereof shall not theretofore have filed a claim, taken action or instituted proceedings to enforce the same in respect of such Note.

Until exchanged in full for the Bearer Permanent Global Note, this Bearer Temporary Global Note in all respects shall be entitled to the same benefits under, and subject to the same terms and conditions of, the Agency Agreement as the Bearer Permanent Global Note authenticated and delivered thereunder, except that neither the Holder hereof nor the beneficial owners of this Bearer Temporary Global Note shall be entitled to receive payment hereon on or after the Exchange Date.

This Bearer Temporary Global Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

This Bearer Temporary Global Note shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly signed by or on behalf of the Principal Agent acting in accordance with the Agency Agreement. If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, this Global Note shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until it is duly effectuated by the entity appointed as common safekeeper by the Relevant Clearing Systems.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Issuer has caused this Bearer Temporary Global Note to be duly signed on its behalf.

BEARER PERMANENT GLOBAL NOTE


COMMON CODE:		ISIN:

This Global Note is a Permanent Global Note in bearer form without interest coupons in respect of a duly authorized Series of Euro Medium-Term Notes (the “Notes”) of Bank of America Corporation (the “Issuer”) described, and having the provisions specified, in the applicable Final Terms (the “Final Terms”), which provisions are incorporated herein. References herein to the Terms and Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in Schedules 6-1 and 6-2 to the Agency Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out in the Final Terms and which are incorporated herein by reference, but in the event of any conflict between the provisions of those Schedules and the information set out in the Final Terms, the Final Terms will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the Terms and Conditions and/or the Final Terms shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

For value received, the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Installment Date the amount payable on such Installment Date in respect of the Notes represented by this Global Note (if the Notes represented by this Global Note are Installment Notes) and on the Maturity Date, on the Interest Payment Date or on the Delivery Date, as the case may be, or on such earlier date as any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become due and payable in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the amount payable or deliverable, as the case may be, on redemption of such Notes then represented by this Global Note becoming so due and payable, and to pay interest (if any) or to deliver any Physical Delivery Amount (if any) on the Notes from time to time represented by this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Terms and Conditions together with any other sums payable under the Terms and Conditions, upon presentation and following the delivery of an Asset Transfer Notice (in the case of Physical Delivery Notes) as provided in the Agency Agreement, and, at maturity, surrender of this Global Note to or to the order of the Principal Agent or any of the other paying agents located outside the United States and its possessions (except as provided in the Terms and Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes, but in each case subject to the requirements as to certification provided herein.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently envisaged by or on behalf of the Issuer, in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2.

On any redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

The Notes represented by this Global Note were represented originally by one or more Bearer Temporary Global Notes (each Tranche of Notes comprised in the Series of Notes to which this Global Note relates having been represented originally by one Bearer Temporary Global Note). Unless any such Bearer Temporary Global Note was exchanged in whole on the issue hereof, an interest in such Bearer Temporary Global Note may be further exchanged, on the terms and conditions set out therein, for an interest in this Global Note. The Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in Schedule 2 hereto to reflect the increase in the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note due to each such exchange, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be increased for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed.

In certain circumstances, further notes may be issued which are intended on issue to be consolidated and form a single Series with the Notes. In such circumstances, the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such further notes may be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems such that the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note may be increased by the amount of such further notes so issued; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such further notes shall be entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note

shall be increased by the nominal amount of any such Bearer Temporary Global Note so exchanged.

This Global Note may be exchanged in whole, but not in part (free of charge), for security-printed Definitive Notes, in the circumstances provided for in the Terms and Conditions, and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Parts I, II, III and IV, respectively, of Schedule 3 to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes). Subject as aforesaid, this exchange will be made upon presentation of this Global Note 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 Agent specified above. The aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes issued upon an exchange of this Global Note will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note submitted by the bearer hereof for exchange (to the extent that such principal amount does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems (if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note) or most recently entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 hereto (if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note).

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the Principal Agent.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof in all respects shall be entitled to the same benefits as if such bearer were the bearer of Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Parts I, II, III and IV, respectively, or Schedule 3 to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate, details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes).

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Bearer Permanent Global Note, the holder of this Bearer Permanent Global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect to the Notes represented by this Bearer Permanent Global Note and the Issuer will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of this Bearer Permanent Global Note in respect of each amount so paid. Any failure to make the entries referred to in above shall not affect such discharge. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular principal amount of Notes represented by this Bearer Permanent Global Note must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for such holder’s share of each payment so made by the Issuer to, or to the order of, the holder of this Bearer Permanent Global Note. No person other than the holder of this Bearer Permanent Global Note shall have any claim against the Issuer in respect of any payments or deliveries due on this Bearer Permanent Global Note.

This Bearer Permanent Global Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

References in these Conditions, unless the context otherwise requires, to Cash Settled Notes shall be deemed to include references to Physical Delivery Notes which include the Issuer’s option (as set out in the applicable Final Terms) to elect cash settlement upon redemption of such Notes pursuant to Condition 5(h)(B) and where settlement upon redemption is to be by way of cash payment. References in these Conditions, unless the context otherwise requires, to Physical Delivery Notes shall be deemed to include

Schedule 6-1-3

references to Cash Settled Notes which include the Issuer’s option (as set out in the applicable Final Terms) to elect physical delivery of the Relevant Asset(s) in settlement upon redemption of such Notes pursuant to Condition 5(h)(B) and where settlement upon redemption is to be by way of physical delivery.

Notes may, if specified in the applicable Final Terms, allow Noteholders upon redemption of such Notes to elect for settlement by way of cash payment or by way of physical delivery or by such other method of settlement as is specified in the applicable Final Terms. Those Notes where the Noteholder has elected for cash payment will be Cash Settled Notes and those Notes where the Noteholder has elected for physical delivery will be Physical Delivery Notes. The rights of a Noteholder as described in this paragraph may be subject to the Issuer’s right to vary settlement upon redemption of Notes as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and will be subject to the Issuer’s right to substitute assets or pay the Alternative Cash Redemption Amount in lieu of physical delivery in accordance with these Conditions.

Words and expressions defined in the Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Final Terms shall have the same meanings where used in these Terms and Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated.

1.	Form, Denomination, and Title

With respect to credit-linked Indexed Notes, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, the definitions and provisions in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), and as amended, updated, or replaced as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes of the relevant Series, are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions. A “Credit-linked Indexed Note” is a Note for which principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable may be based on the change in value of one or more debt obligations, a spread on indices of similar debt obligations, a swap or embedded swap with payments on one side mirroring a basket of debt obligations, or any other similar reference asset or basket of debt obligations, if one or more of certain events relating to the creditworthiness of the issuer or issuers (which do not include the Issuer) of such debt obligations occurs before the scheduled Maturity Date.

This Note is either a Senior Note (as defined herein) or a Subordinated Note (as defined herein), as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

Bearer Notes are serially numbered and may be issued with Coupons (and, where appropriate, a Talon) attached, save in the case of Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to interest (other than in relation to interest due after the Maturity Date), Coupons and Couponholders in these Conditions are not applicable. Installment Notes in bearer form are issued with one or more Receipts attached.

Subject as set forth below, title to the Bearer Notes, Receipts, and Coupons will pass by delivery. Title to the Registered Notes shall pass by registration in the register that the Issuer shall procure to be kept by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement (the “Register”). The Issuer and any Paying Agent may (except as otherwise required by law) deem and treat the bearer of any Bearer Note, Receipt, or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any Bearer Global Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next paragraph.

So long as any of the Notes are represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered Global Certificate held on behalf of the Relevant Clearing System, each person who is shown in the records of the Relevant Clearing System as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (any certificate or other document issued by the Relevant Clearing System as to the nominal amount of Notes standing on the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, except in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Principal Agent, the Registrar, any Transfer Agent, and any other Paying Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes, except with respect to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable on, or deliveries in respect of, the Notes, the bearer of the relevant Bearer Global Note or, in the case of a Registered Global Note, the person or persons for the time being shown in the Register as at the Record Date maintained by the Registrar as the Noteholder or Noteholders, shall be treated by the Issuer, the Principal Agent, and any Paying Agent as the holder of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note (the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly). Interests in Notes which are represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered

Schedule 6-1-5

Global Certificate will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of the Relevant Clearing System.

The Issuer will issue Notes in the Specified Denomination(s) set forth in the applicable Final Terms. However, the minimum denomination permitted for each Note will be such denomination as may be allowed or required by the relevant central bank (or equivalent body) or any laws or regulations applicable to the Specified Currency. The minimum denomination of each Note admitted to trading on a European Economic Area exchange and/or offered to the public within the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC) will be €1,000 (or the equivalent amount in another currency).

Unless permitted by then current laws and regulations, any Notes (including Notes denominated in Sterling) for which the proceeds are to be accepted by the Issuer in the United Kingdom and which have a maturity of less than one year from their date of issue, shall (1) be issued to a limited class of professional investors, (2) have a redemption value of not less than £100,000 (or an amount of equivalent value denominated wholly or partly in a currency other than Sterling), and (3) provide that no part of any such Notes may be transferred unless the redemption value of that part is not less than £100,000 (or an equivalent amount in other currencies).

2.	Exchange and Transfers of Notes

(a)	*Exchange of Notes*

Registered Notes may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes, and Bearer Notes may not be exchanged for Registered Notes. Bearer Notes of one Specified Denomination may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes of another Specified Denomination.

(b)	*Transfer of Registered Notes*

Registered Notes may be transferred upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent) of the Registered Certificate representing such Registered Notes to be transferred, together with the form of transfer endorsed on such Registered Certificate duly completed and executed by the person shown on the Register and such other evidence as the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding of Registered Notes represented by one Registered Certificate, a new Registered Certificate shall be issued to the transferee (following the transferee’s surrender of any existing Registered Certificate in respect of Notes of that Series) in respect of the part transferred and a further new Registered Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor.

(c)	*Exercise of Options or Partial Redemption in Respect of Registered Notes*

In the case of an exercise of an Issuer’s or Noteholder’s option in respect of, or a partial redemption of, a holding of Registered Notes represented by a single Registered Certificate, a new Registered Certificate shall be issued to the Noteholder to reflect the exercise of such option or in respect of the balance of the holding not redeemed. In the case of a partial exercise of an option resulting in Registered Notes of the same holding having different terms, separate Registered Certificates shall be issued in respect of those Notes of that holding that have the same terms. New Registered Certificates shall only be issued against surrender of the existing certificates to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent. In the case of a transfer of Registered Notes to a person who is already a holder of Registered Notes, a new Registered Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of the Registered Certificate representing the existing holding.

Schedule 6-1-6

(d)	*Delivery of New Certificates*

Each Registered Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 2(b) or (c) shall be available for delivery within three business days after receipt of the request for exchange, form of transfer or Put Notice (as defined herein) or surrender of the Registered Certificate for exchange, as applicable. Delivery of the new Registered Certificate shall be made at the specified office of the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such request for exchange, form of transfer, Put Notice or Registered Certificate shall have been made or, at the option of the Noteholder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant request for exchange, form of transfer, Put Notice or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured mail at the risk of the Noteholder entitled to the new Registered Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless such Noteholder requests otherwise and pays in advance to the Transfer Agent or Registrar the costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may specify. In this Condition 2(d), “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open for business in the location of the specified office of the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent (as the case may be).

(e)	*Exchange Free of Charge*

Exchange and transfer of Registered Notes on registration, transfer, partial redemption, or exercise of an option shall be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Registrar, or the Transfer Agent, but upon payment by the Noteholder of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it (or the giving of such indemnity as the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may require).

(f)	*Closed Periods*

No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered (i) during the period commencing on the Record Date and ending on the due date for redemption of, or payment of any installment amount, or amount of interest, in respect of, that Note, (ii) during the period commencing on the Record Date and ending on the date on which Notes may be called for redemption by the Issuer at its option pursuant to Condition 6(d), (iii) after any such Note has been called for redemption, (iv) during the period commencing on the Record Date and ending on the date fixed for any meeting of Noteholders, or any adjourned meeting of Noteholders, or (v) during the period of seven calendar days ending on (and including) any Record Date.

“Record Date” means the close of business (London time) on the fifteenth calendar day prior to the applicable due date for redemption of a Registered Note, or the payment of any installment amount or amount of interest in respect of a Registered Note, or the date fixed for any meeting, or adjourned meeting of holders of Registered Notes.

3.	Status of the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes

The Notes may be issued in one or more Series as unsecured debt securities, which may be either senior notes (“Senior Notes”) or subordinated notes (“Subordinated Notes”). The Notes are not deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

Under the Program, there is no limitation on the Issuer’s ability to issue additional Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) or Subordinated Notes.

Schedule 6-1-7

(a)	*Status of Senior Notes*

The Senior Notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally with all other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer.

“Senior Indebtedness” is defined as any indebtedness for money borrowed (including all indebtedness of the Issuer for borrowed and purchased money of the Issuer, all obligations arising from off-balance sheet guarantees by the Issuer and direct credit substitutes and obligations of the Issuer associated with derivative products such as interest and foreign exchange rate contracts and commodity contracts) that is outstanding on the date of execution of the Agency Agreement, or is thereafter created, incurred, or assumed, for which the Issuer is at the time of determination responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor, or otherwise for payment, and all deferrals, renewals, extensions, and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligations, other than the Subordinated Notes or any other indebtedness as to which the instrument creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, provides that such indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to any other indebtedness of the Issuer.

(b)	*Status of Subordinated Notes*

The indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Notes and any Coupons and Receipts appertaining thereto, subject to the extent set forth herein, shall be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Issuer’s Senior Indebtedness. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and shall be entitled to the benefits of such subordination irrespective of any amendment, modification, or waiver of any term of the Senior Indebtedness. There is no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Subordinated Notes or in the performance of any other obligation of the Issuer under the Subordinated Notes.

The Issuer shall not make any payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable on, or deliveries in respect of, its Subordinated Notes or purchase any of its Subordinated Notes, either directly or indirectly, if (1) any default or Event of Default with respect to any of its Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) it shall have received written notice thereof from the holders of at least 10.00 per cent. in principal amount of any kind or category of any of its Senior Indebtedness (or the representative or representatives of such holders).

Until all of the Issuer’s Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, the holders of the Subordinated Notes will be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all of the Issuer’s indebtedness which, by its express terms, ranks equally with its Subordinated Notes, and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of the Issuer’s Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of its assets.

If the Issuer repays any of its Subordinated Notes before the required date or in connection with a distribution of its assets to creditors pursuant to a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, or reorganization, any principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable or deliveries due will be paid or delivered to the holders of the Issuer’s Senior Indebtedness before any holders of its Subordinated Notes are paid. In addition, if such amounts were previously paid to the holders of the Subordinated Notes, the holders of its Senior Indebtedness shall have first rights to such amounts previously paid.

No modification or amendment of the subordination provisions of Subordinated Notes and any related coupons in a manner adverse to the holders of Senior Indebtedness may be made without the consent of the holders of all of the Issuer’s outstanding Senior Indebtedness.

Schedule 6-1-8

4.	Interest

(a)	*Interest on Fixed-Rate Notes*

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, each Fixed-Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount (or if it is a Partly Paid Note, on the amount paid-up) at the rate or rates per annum specified in the applicable Final Terms from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date. Interest will be payable in arrear on the date or dates in each year specified in the applicable Final Terms (each, a “Fixed Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date if it does not fall on a Fixed Interest Payment Date. The first interest payment will, subject to Condition 6 and Condition 10, be made on the first Fixed Interest Payment Date following the Interest Commencement Date.

If any Fixed Interest Payment Date is not a Payment Business Day (as defined in Condition 5(e)), then payment on a Fixed-Rate Note shall be paid as provided in Condition 5(e).

If a “Fixed Coupon Amount” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest payable on each Fixed Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period (as defined below) ending on (but excluding) such date will be the Fixed Coupon Amount as specified irrespective of any calculation based on the Rates of Interest (as defined in Condition 4(f)) and any applicable Fixed Day Count Fraction (as defined below) (if any) and if the amount of interest payable on any Fixed Interest Payment Date is specified as an amount other than the Fixed Coupon Amount, such amount will be a “Broken Amount” specified in the applicable Final Terms.

As used in these Conditions, “Fixed Interest Period” means the period from, and including, the most recent Fixed Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to, but excluding, the next (or first) Fixed Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, if interest is required to be calculated for a period other than a Fixed Interest Period, that interest shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest specified in the applicable Final Terms to each Specified Denomination, multiplying that sum by the applicable Fixed Day Count Fraction and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest Sub-unit (as defined below) of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such Sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention.

“Fixed Day Count Fraction” means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with this Condition 4(a):

(i)

if “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms:

(A)

for Notes where the Accrual Period (as defined below) is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period (as defined below) during which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the product of (1) the number of days in such Determination Period and (2) the number of determination dates (“Determination Dates”), as specified in the applicable Final Terms, that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest were payable in respect of the whole of that year; or

(B)

for Notes where the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the sum of:

(1)

the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates,

Schedule 6-1-9

as specified in the applicable Final Terms, that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest were payable in respect of the whole of that year; and

(2)

the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the product of

(x)

the number of days in such Determination Period; and

(y)

the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year assuming interest were payable in respect of the whole of that year; and

(ii)

if “³⁰/360” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Accrual Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

Day Count Fraction

[360 x (Y₂ – Y₁)] + [30 x (M₂ – M₁) + (D₂ – D₁)]

360

Where:

“Y₁” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Accrual Period falls;

“Y₂” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the Accrual Period falls;

“M1” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Accrual Period falls;

“M₂” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the Accrual Period falls;

“D₁” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Accrual Period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D₁ will be 30; and

“D₂” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Accrual Period, unless such number would be 31 and D₁ is greater than 29, in which case D₂ will be 30;

“Accrual Period” means the period from (and including) the most recent Fixed Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date or, if different from the Issue Date, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant Interest Payment Date.

“Determination Period” means the period from (and including) a Determination Date (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) to (but excluding) the next Determination Date (including, where either the Interest Commencement Date or the final Fixed Interest Payment Date is not a Determination Date, the period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on the first Determination Date falling after, such date).

“Sub-unit” means, for euro, one cent, and, for any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of that currency that is available as legal tender in the country of that currency.

Schedule 6-1-10

(b)	Interest on Floating-Rate Notes, Index Linked Interest Notes, Share Linked Interest Notes, Inflation Linked Interest Notes, Commodity Linked Interest Notes, FX Linked Interest Notes, Hybrid Interest Notes, and Notes with Interest Linked to Other Underlying Asset(s)

(i)

Interest Periods and Interest Payment Dates

Each Floating-Rate Note, Index Linked Interest Note, Share Linked Interest Note, Inflation Linked Interest Note, Commodity Linked Interest Note, FX Linked Interest Note, Hybrid Interest Note, and any Note with interest linked to other Underlying Asset(s) bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount (or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, on the amount paid-up) from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date specified in the applicable Final Terms. Interest will be payable in arrear on either:

(A)

the Interest Payment Dates (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) in each year specified in the applicable Final Terms; or

(B)

if no Interest Payment Dates are specified in the applicable Final Terms, each date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) which falls the number of months or other period specified in the applicable Final Terms after the preceding Interest Payment Date, or in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date (the “First Interest Payment Date”).

Interest will be payable in respect of each “Interest Period” (which expression shall mean, in these Terms and Conditions, the period from (and including), an Interest Period End Date (or the Interest Commencement Date), to (but excluding) the next, or the First Interest Period End Date, as the case may be.

If (i) there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which an Interest Payment Date should occur or (ii) any Interest Payment Date (or other date specified in the applicable Final Terms to be subject to adjustment in accordance with a business day convention) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, it will be adjusted in accordance with the business day convention specified in the applicable Final Terms. If the business day convention specified is:

(1)

the “Floating Rate Convention”, such Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day. If postponement would cause such date to fall in the next calendar month, then (A) such date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (B) each subsequent Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be the last Business Day in the month which falls the number of months or other period specified as the Interest Period in the applicable Final Terms after the preceding applicable Interest Payment Date (or other date) occurred; or

(2)

the “Following Business Day Convention”, such Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day; or

(3)

the “Modified Following Business Day Convention”, such Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day, unless that date would fall in the next calendar month, in which event such Interest Payment Date (or other such date) shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; or

(4)

the “Preceding Business Day Convention”, such Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day.

Schedule 6-1-11

If an Interest Payment Date thereby falls after the last day of the Interest Period to which it relates, no additional interest or other amount shall be payable.

“Business Day” means a day which is both:

(A)

a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and New York, New York and any additional business centers specified in the applicable Final Terms (each, an “Additional Business Center”); and

(B)

either (1) for any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial center(s) (the “Principal Financial Center(s)”) of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London) or (2) for any sum payable in euro, a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET2) System or any successor thereto is operating.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, the Principal Financial Center of any Specified Currency for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions shall be the relevant financial center (if any) specified for the relevant Specified Currency in Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 of the ISDA Definitions, except that the Principal Financial Centers for Australian Dollars shall be Melbourne and Sydney, the Principal Financial Center for Canadian Dollars shall be Toronto, and the Principal Financial Center for New Zealand Dollars shall be Wellington.

The term “ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) and as amended, updated, or replaced as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes of the relevant Series.

(ii)

Rate of Interest on Floating-Rate Notes

The Rate of Interest payable on Floating-Rate Notes will be set forth in the applicable Final Terms.

(A)

ISDA Determination for Floating-Rate Notes

Where ISDA Determination is specified in the applicable Final Terms as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will be the relevant ISDA Rate plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms) the margin (the “Margin”), if any. For purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), the “ISDA Rate” for an Interest Period means a rate determined by the Principal Agent or such other person specified in the applicable Final Terms that is equal to the Floating Rate under an interest rate swap transaction if the Principal Agent or such other person were acting as Calculation Agent for that swap transaction under the terms of an agreement incorporating the ISDA Definitions and under which:

(1)

the Floating Rate Option is as specified in the applicable Final Terms;

(2)

the relevant Interest Commencement Date is the Effective Date;

(3)

the Designated Maturity is a period specified in the applicable Final Terms;

Schedule 6-1-12

(4)

the relevant Reset Date is either (i) the first day of that Interest Period, if the applicable Floating Rate Option is based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or the Euro-Zone interbank offered rate (“Euribor”) for a currency, or (ii) in any other case, as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and

(5)

all other terms are as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

For purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), “Euro-Zone” has the meaning set forth below and “Floating Rate”, “Calculation Agent”, “Floating Rate Option”, “Effective Date”, “Designated Maturity”, and “Reset Date” have the meanings given to those terms in the ISDA Definitions.

(B)

Screen Rate Determination

Where Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Final Terms as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will be, subject as provided below, either:

(1)

the offered quotation (if there is only one quotation on the relevant screen page (the “Relevant Screen Page”)), whatever its designation; or

(2)

the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations, (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the rate (the “Reference Rate”) by reference to the Rate of Interest which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the Relevant Screen Page on which the Reference Rate is for the time being displayed on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other service as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) at 11:00 a.m. (London time in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time in the case of Euribor) on the dates on which the Rate of Interest is to be determined (each, an “Interest Determination Date”) plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms) the Margin, if any, all as determined by the Calculation Agent. If five or more such offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, only one of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, only one of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations.

If the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of (1) above, no such offered quotation appears or, in the case of (2) above, fewer than two such offered quotations appear, in each case at the time specified in the preceding paragraph, the Calculation Agent, at its sole discretion, shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks (as defined herein) to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for deposits in the Specified Currency for the relevant Interest Period to leading banks in the London interbank market in the case of LIBOR or leading banks in the Euro-Zone interbank market in the case of Euribor, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time in the case of Euribor) on the Interest Determination Date in question. If two or more of the Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with such offered quotations, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of such offered quotations plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin, if any, all as determined by the Calculation Agent.

If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks provides the Calculation Agent with such offered quotations as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Rate of

Schedule 6-1-13

Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which the Calculation Agent determines to be the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of the rates, as communicated to (and at the request of) the Calculation Agent by any two or more of the Reference Banks, at which such banks were offered, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time in the case of Euribor) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, deposits in the Specified Currency for the relevant Interest Period by leading banks in the London interbank market in the case of LIBOR, or leading banks in the Euro-Zone interbank market in the case of Euribor, plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin, if any. If fewer than two of the Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with such offered quotations, the Rate of Interest shall be the offered quotation for deposits in the Specified Currency for the relevant Interest Period, or the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of the offered quotations for deposits in the Specified Currency for the relevant Interest Period, at which, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time in the case of Euribor) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, any one or more banks informs the Calculation Agent it is quoting to leading banks in the London interbank market in the case of LIBOR or leading banks in the Euro-Zone interbank market in the case of Euribor, plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin, if any, provided that if the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin is to be applied to the relevant Interest Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Period, the Margin relating to the relevant Interest Period, in place of the Margin relating to that last preceding Interest Period).

“Reference Banks” means, in the case of (1) above, those banks whose offered rates were used to determine such quotation when such quotation last appeared on the Relevant Screen Page and in the case of (2) above, those banks whose offered quotations last appeared on the Relevant Screen Page when no fewer than three such offered quotations appeared.

“EC Treaty” means the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, as amended by the Treaty of Amsterdam.

“Euro-Zone” means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that have adopted the euro as the single currency in accordance with the EC Treaty.

If the Reference Rate from time to time for Floating-Rate Notes is specified in the applicable Final Terms as being other than LIBOR or Euribor, the Rate of Interest in respect of such Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable Final Terms.

(iii)

Rate of Interest and/or Interest Amount for Index Linked Interest Notes, Share Linked Interest Notes, Inflation Linked Interest Notes, Commodity Linked Interest Notes, FX Linked Interest Notes, Hybrid Interest Notes, and Notes with Interest Linked to Other Underlying Asset(s)

The Rate of Interest in respect of Index Linked Interest Notes, Share Linked Interest Notes, Inflation Linked Interest Notes, Commodity Linked Interest Notes, FX Linked Interest Notes, Hybrid Interest Notes, or Notes with interest linked to other Underlying Asset(s) for each Interest Period and/or the Interest Amount payable on each Interest Payment Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in the manner set out in the applicable Final Terms.

(iv)

Determination of Rate of Interest and Calculation of Interest Amounts for Floating-Rate Notes

The Calculation Agent, at or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of Interest payable on Floating-Rate Notes is to be determined, will determine the Rate of Interest (subject to any specified Minimum Interest Rate (as defined herein) or Maximum

Schedule 6-1-14

Interest Rate (as defined herein)) and calculate the amount of interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable on the Floating-Rate Notes for the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Amount shall be calculated (unless a formula for calculation of the Interest Amount is specified in the applicable Final Terms, in which case the Interest Amount shall be calculated in accordance with such formula) by applying the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period to the minimum Specified Denomination), multiplying such sum by the applicable Floating Day Count Fraction (as defined herein) and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest U.S. Cent (or its approximate equivalent in the relevant Specified Currency), with $.005 (or its approximate equivalent in the relevant Specified Currency) being rounded upwards. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the Rate of Interest and calculation of each Interest Amount shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in the absence of manifest error.

“Floating Day Count Fraction” shall have the meaning ascribed to “Day Count Fraction” in the ISDA Definitions or as agreed upon between the Issuer and Dealers in the applicable Final Terms; provided, however, if “Actual/365 (Sterling)” is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Floating Day Count Fraction shall be the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 or, in the case of an Interest Payment Date falling in a leap year, 366.

(v)

Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount

The Calculation Agent will notify the Issuer and any stock exchange on which the Notes (other than Fixed-Rate Notes, Zero Coupon Notes, and non-interest bearing Notes) are listed (if the rules of such stock exchange so require) of the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period, the relevant Interest Payment Date and any other item or amount determined or calculated by it in accordance with the applicable Final Terms as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant determination or calculation. The Calculation Agent also shall publish such notice in accordance with Condition 14 as soon as possible after any determination, but in no event later than the fourth London Business Day thereafter. In connection with any such Notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Calculation Agent will notify the exchange of the Rate of Interest, the Interest Period, and each Interest Amount no later than the first day of the commencement of each new Interest Period. Both the Interest Amount and Interest Payment Dates subsequently may be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each stock exchange on which such Notes are listed will be notified promptly of any amendment in accordance with Condition 14. For purposes of this sub-paragraph (v), the expression “London Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London.

(vi)

Certificates to Be Final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations, and decisions given, expressed, made, or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 4(b), by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of willful default, bad faith, or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the other Paying Agents, and all Noteholders, Receiptholders, and Couponholders and (in the absence of the aforesaid) the Calculation Agent shall not be liable to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders, or the Couponholders in connection with the exercise by it of its powers, duties, and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

Schedule 6-1-15

(c)	*Zero Coupon Notes*

If a Zero Coupon Note becomes due and repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due and repayable shall be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined in Condition 6(f)) of such Note as determined in accordance with Condition 6(f)(iii). From the Maturity Date, any overdue principal of such Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the accrual yield, if any, in respect of such Notes (the “Accrual Yield”) (expressed as a percentage per annum) set forth in the applicable Final Terms.

(d)	*Partly Paid Notes*

For Partly Paid Notes (other than Partly Paid Notes which are Zero Coupon Notes and Partly Paid Notes that do not bear interest), interest will accrue on the paid-up principal amount of such Notes and otherwise as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

(e)	*Accrual of Interest*

Each Note (or in the case of the redemption of only part of a Note, only that part of such Note) will cease to bear interest, if any, from the date for its redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue, before or after judgment, until the earlier of:

(i)

the date on which all amounts due in respect of such Note have been paid; or

(ii)

five calendar days after the date on which the Principal Agent has received the full amount of the monies payable and notice to that effect has been given in accordance with Condition 14 or individually.

(f)	*Rate of Interest*

As used in these Conditions, “Rate of Interest” means the rate, or each rate, of interest in respect of each interest bearing Note determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Condition 4 or as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

(g)	*Limitations on Interest*

The applicable Final Terms may specify a minimum rate at which the Notes bear interest (a “Minimum Interest Rate”). If the Rate of Interest determined in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 4 is less than the specified Minimum Interest Rate, the Rate of Interest shall be such Minimum Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, the applicable Final Terms may specify a Maximum Interest Rate. If the Rate of Interest determined in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 4 is greater than the maximum rate at which the Notes bear interest (the “Maximum Interest Rate”), the Rate of Interest shall be such Maximum Interest Rate.

In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate which may be applicable to any Note pursuant to the above provision, the interest rate on such Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. Under present New York law, the maximum rate of interest is 25.00 per cent. per annum on a simple interest basis, with certain exceptions. The limit may not apply to Notes in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested.

Schedule 6-1-16

5.	Payments and Physical Delivery

For the purposes of this Condition 5, references to payment or repayment (as the case may be) of principal and/or interest and other similar expressions shall, where the context so requires, be deemed also to refer to delivery of any Physical Delivery Amount(s).

(a)	*Bearer Notes*

Payments of principal and interest in respect of Bearer Notes shall be made against presentation and surrender of the relevant Receipts (in the case of payments of Installment Amounts other than on the due date for redemption and provided that the Receipt is presented for payment together with its related Note), Notes or Coupons, as the case may be, at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States and its possessions by a check payable in the currency in which such payment is due drawn on a bank in the Principal Financial Center for that currency, and at the option of the bearer of such Receipt, Note, or Coupon, shall be mailed or delivered to an address outside the United States and its possessions furnished by such bearer or, at the option of such bearer, subject to any applicable laws and regulations, shall be transferred to an account denominated in that currency with a bank in the Principal Financial Center for that currency; provided, however, that any payments made by transfer will be made in immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States and its possessions, provided, however that:

(i)

payments in a Specified Currency (other than euro) will be made by transfer to an account in the relevant Specified Currency maintained by the payee with, or by a check in such Specified Currency drawn on, a bank in the Principal Financial Center of the country of such Specified Currency; provided, however, that a check may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located in, the United States or any of its possessions by any office or agency of the Issuer, the Principal Agent, or any Paying Agent; and

(ii)

payments in euro will be made by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee; provided, however, that a credit or transfer may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located in the United States or any of its possessions by any office or agency of the Issuer, the Principal Agent, or any Paying Agent.

(b)	*Registered Notes*

(i)

Payments of principal (which for the purposes of this Condition 5(b) shall include final Installment Amounts but not other Installment Amounts) in respect of Registered Notes shall be made to the person shown on the Register on the Record Date against presentation and surrender of the relevant Registered Certificates at the specified office of any of the Transfer Agents or of the Registrar and in the manner provided in Condition 5(b)(ii) below.

(ii)

Payments of interest and Installment Amounts (other than the final Installment Amount) on Registered Notes shall be paid to the person shown on the Register on the Record Date. Payments in respect of each Registered Note shall be made in the relevant Specified Currency by check drawn on a bank in the Principal Financial Center of the country of such Specified Currency and mailed to the Noteholder (or the first named of joint holders) of such Note at its address appearing in the Register. Upon application by the Noteholder to the specified office of the Registrar or Transfer Agent before the Record Date and subject as provided in Condition 5(a) above, such payment may be made by transfer to an account in

Schedule 6-1-17

the Specified Currency maintained by the payee with a bank in the Principal Financial Center of the country of such Specified Currency.

Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8.

(c)	*Payments in the United States*

Notwithstanding Condition 5(a), U.S. Dollar payments of principal and interest in respect of Bearer Notes will be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States or its possessions if:

(i)

the Issuer has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States and its possessions with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents will be able to make payment of the full amount of principal, interest, or any other amounts payable on the Bearer Notes in the manner provided above when due in U.S. Dollars at such specified offices; and

(ii)

payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable, at all such specified offices outside the United States and its possessions is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of principal and interest in U.S. Dollars; and

(iii)

such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Issuer, adverse tax consequences for the Issuer.

(d)	*Unmatured Coupons and Receipts and unexchanged Talons*

In the case of Fixed-Rate Notes, Bearer Notes should be presented for payment together with all related unmatured Coupons (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons to be issued upon exchange of matured Talons). Failure to present the above will result in the amount of any missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, the same proportion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon as the sum so paid bears to the sum due) being deducted from the sum due for payment. Each amount of principal so deducted will be paid as described above against surrender of the relative missing Coupon at any time before the expiration of five years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 9) in respect of such principal (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void under Condition 9) or, if later, five years from the date on which such Coupon would otherwise have become due. Upon any Bearer Note becoming due and payable prior to its Maturity Date, all relevant unmatured Talons, if any, will become void and no further Coupons will be issued in respect of that Bearer Note.

In the case of Floating-Rate Notes, upon any Bearer Note becoming due and payable prior to its Maturity Date, any related unmatured Coupons (whether or not attached), shall become void and no payment or, as the case may be, exchange for further Coupons, shall be made in respect of those Bearer Notes.

Upon the date on which any Bearer Note becomes due and repayable, unmatured Receipts, if any, relating thereto (whether or not attached), shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof. Payment of the final installment will be made as provided in Condition 5(a) above against surrender of the relevant Bearer Notes.

If the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note is not a Fixed Interest Payment Date or an Interest Payment Date, interest, if any, accrued in respect of such Bearer Note, from (and including) the preceding Fixed Interest Payment Date or Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, the Interest Commencement Date, shall be payable only against surrender of the relevant Bearer Note.

Schedule 6-1-18

Except as provided in Condition 5(c), payments of principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable on, or deliveries in respect of, a Bearer Global Note, will be made as specified above for Bearer Notes and otherwise as specified in the relevant Bearer Global Note outside the United States and its possessions against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such Bearer Global Note, and payments on any Bearer Note will be made at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States and its possessions. The Paying Agent will record on each Bearer Global Note in CGN form each payment made against presentation or surrender of such Bearer Global Note, distinguishing between any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable, and such record shall be prima facie evidence that the payment has been made.

So long as any of the Notes are represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered Global Certificate held on behalf of the Relevant Clearing Systems, each person who is shown in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (any certificate or other document issued by the Relevant Clearing Systems as to the nominal amount of Notes standing on the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, except in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Principal Agent, and any other Paying Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes, except with respect to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, or any other amounts payable on, or deliveries in respect of, the Notes, the bearer of the relevant Bearer Global Note or, in the case of a Registered Global Note, the person or persons for the time being shown in the Register maintained by the Registrar as the Noteholder or Noteholders, shall be treated by the Issuer, the Principal Agent, and any Paying Agent as the holder of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note.

(e)	*Payment Business Day*

If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note, Receipt, or Coupon is not a Payment Business Day, the holder of the Notes shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next following Payment Business Day. The holder of the Notes shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such delay. For these purposes, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, “Payment Business Day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchanges and foreign currency deposits) in:

(i)

the relevant place of presentation;

(ii)

the Principal Financial Center of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (or in the case of an amount payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET2 System or any successor thereto is operating); and

(iii)

any additional financial center (“Additional Financial Center”) specified in the applicable Final Terms.

This Condition 5(e) is applicable, if at all, to Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes only after the applicable business day convention, as specified in Condition 4(b)(i), has been used to determine the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(f)	*Interpretation of Principal*

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to principal in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable:

(i)

any Additional Amounts (as defined in Condition 8) which may be payable with respect to principal under Condition 8;

Schedule 6-1-19

(ii)

the Final Redemption Amount (as defined in Condition 6(a)) of the Notes;

(iii)

any Physical Delivery Amount, Disruption Cash Redemption Amount (as defined in Condition 5(h)(A)(5)), Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount (as defined in Condition 5(h)(A)(6)), or Alternative Cash Redemption Amount (as defined in Condition 5(h)(C)) in respect of the Notes;

(iv)

the redemption amount (the “Early Redemption Amount”) of the Notes payable on redemption for taxation reasons or following an Event of Default and the method, if any, of calculating the same if required to be specified by, or if different from that set out in, Condition 6(f);

(v)

the redemption amount payable on the occurrence of a Settlement Disruption Event (as defined in Condition 5(h)(A)(5)) or Failure to Deliver due to Illiquidity (as defined in Condition 5(h)(A)(6));

(vi)

each redemption amount (the “Optional Redemption Amount”), if any, of the Notes;

(vii)

for Installment Notes, the amount (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of each Note) of such installment (each, an “Installment Amount”);

(viii)

for Amortizing Notes, the amount of unpaid principal;

(ix)

for Zero Coupon Notes, the Amortized Face Amount; and

(x)

any premium and any other amounts which may be payable by the Issuer under or for the Notes.

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to interest on the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable, any Additional Amounts which may be payable in connection with interest under Condition 8.

(g)	*Imposition of Exchange Controls*

If the Issuer, after consulting with the Principal Agent, reasonably determines that a payment on the Notes, Receipts, or Coupons cannot be made in the Specified Currency due to restrictions imposed by the government of such currency or any agency or instrumentality thereof or any monetary authority in such country (other than as contemplated in the preceding Condition 5(a)), such payment will be made outside the United States and its possessions in U.S. dollars by a check drawn on or by credit or transfer to an account maintained by the holder with a bank located outside the United States and its possessions, provided that any check shall be mailed or delivered to an address outside the United States and its possessions. The Principal Agent, on receipt of the Issuer’s written instruction and at the expense of the Issuer, shall give prompt notice to the holders of the Notes if such determination is made. The amount of U.S. Dollars to be paid in connection with any payment shall be the amount of U.S. Dollars that could be purchased by the Agent with the amount of the relevant currency payable on the date the payment is due, at the rate for sale in financial transactions of U.S. Dollars (for delivery in the Principal Financial Center of the Specified Currency two Business Days later) quoted by that bank at 10:00 a.m. local time in the Principal Financial Center of the relevant currency, on the second Business Day prior to the date the payment is due.

Schedule 6-1-20

(h)	*Physical Delivery Notes*

(A)

Physical Delivery

(1)

Asset Transfer Notices

In relation to Physical Delivery Notes, in order to obtain delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount(s) in respect of any Note, the relevant Noteholder must deliver to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, or any Alternative Clearing System, as the case may be, not later than 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the date (the “Physical Delivery Cut-off Date”) falling three Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, Interest Payment Date, or other relevant date as specified in the applicable Final Terms, a duly completed asset transfer notice (an “Asset Transfer Notice”) in accordance with the provisions set out in this Condition 5(h).

In the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, an Asset Transfer Notice may only be delivered in such manner as is acceptable to the Relevant Clearing System, which is expected to be by authenticated SWIFT message or tested telex.

Copies of the Asset Transfer Notice for Definitive Notes that are not held by the Relevant Clearing System shall be in the form set out in the Agency Agreement, and may be obtained during normal business hours from the specified office of any Paying Agent. Upon completion, an Asset Transfer Notice for Definitive Notes held outside of a Relevant Clearing System shall be delivered to any Paying Agent.

The delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount(s) shall be made outside the United States and its possessions in the manner specified in the Final Terms or in such other commercially reasonable manner as the Issuer shall determine to be appropriate for such delivery and shall notify to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14.

All expenses, including any applicable depositary charges, transaction or exercise charges, stamp duty reserve tax, withholding tax, and/or other taxes or duties (together “Expenses”), arising from the delivery and/or transfer of any Physical Delivery Amount(s) shall be for the account of the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder, as the case may be, and no delivery and/or transfer of any Physical Delivery Amount(s) shall be made until Expenses have been paid to the satisfaction of the Issuer by the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder, as the case may be.

The Asset Transfer Notice shall:

(i)

specify the name, address outside the United States and its possessions, and contact telephone number of the relevant Noteholder or Couponholder, as the case may be, the person from whom the Issuer may obtain details for the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount if such delivery/transfer is to be made otherwise than in the manner specified in the Final Terms;

(ii)

specify the ISIN of the Notes and the number of Notes which are the subject of such notice;

(iii)

in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, specify the number of the Noteholder’s securities account at the Relevant Clearing System to be debited with such Notes;

Schedule 6-1-21

(iv)

in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, irrevocably instruct the Relevant Clearing System to debit the relevant Noteholder’s securities account with the relevant Notes;

(v)

include, or be deemed to include, an undertaking to pay all Expenses and, in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, an authority to the Relevant Clearing System to debit a specified account of the Noteholder with the Relevant Clearing System in respect thereof and to pay such Expenses;

(vi)

include such details as are required by the applicable Final Terms for delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount which may include account details of an account outside the United States and its possessions and/or the name and address outside the United States and its possessions of any person(s) into whose name evidence of the Physical Delivery Amount is to be registered and/or any bank, broker, or agent outside the United States and its possessions to whom documents evidencing the Physical Delivery Amount are to be delivered and specify the name and number of the Noteholder’s account with the Relevant Clearing System to be credited with any cash payable by the Issuer, either in respect of any cash amount constituting the Physical Delivery Amount or any dividends relating to the Physical Delivery Amount or as a result of the occurrence of a Settlement Disruption Event or a Failure to Deliver and the Issuer electing to pay the Disruption Cash Redemption Amount or Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount, as applicable, or as a result of the Issuer electing to pay the Alternative Cash Redemption Amount;

(vii)

in respect of Physical Delivery Notes which are Bearer Notes, certify, or be deemed to certify, that the beneficial owner of each Note is not a U.S. person (as defined in the Asset Transfer Notice), the Note is not being redeemed within the United States or its possessions or on behalf of a U.S. person and no cash or Physical Delivery Amounts have been or will be delivered within the United States or its possessions or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person in connection with any redemption thereof; and

(viii)

authorize, or be deemed to authorize, the production of such certification in any applicable administrative or legal proceedings, all as provided in the Agency Agreement.

(2)

Verification of the Noteholder

Upon receipt of an Asset Transfer Notice, the Relevant Clearing System (in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System) or the Principal Agent (in the case of Notes that are not held by a Relevant Clearing System) shall verify that the person delivering the Asset Transfer Notice is the holder of the Notes described therein according to its records. Subject thereto, in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, the Relevant Clearing System will confirm to the Principal Agent the ISIN and number of Notes the subject of such notice, and the details for the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount of each Note. Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Principal Agent will inform the Issuer and the Delivery Agent thereof. In the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, the Relevant Clearing System will on the Delivery Date debit the securities account of the relevant Noteholder with the relevant Notes.

Schedule 6-1-22

(3)

Determinations and Delivery

Any determination as to whether an Asset Transfer Notice is duly completed and in proper form shall be made by the Relevant Clearing System in consultation with the Principal Agent (in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System) or the Principal Agent (in the case of Notes that are not held by a Relevant Clearing System) after consulting with the Issuer and the Delivery Agent, and shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Principal Agent, the Delivery Agent, and the relevant Noteholder. Subject as set out below, any Asset Transfer Notice so determined to be incomplete or not in proper form, or which is not copied or sent as provided in Condition 5(h)(A)(1) above, shall be null and void. If such Asset Transfer Notice is subsequently corrected to the satisfaction of the Relevant Clearing System or the Principal Agent, as applicable, it shall be deemed to be a new Asset Transfer Notice submitted at the time such correction was delivered to the Relevant Clearing System or the Principal Agent, as applicable.

The Relevant Clearing System (or the Principal Agent in the case of Notes held outside a Relevant Clearing System) shall use its best efforts promptly to notify the Noteholder submitting an Asset Transfer Notice if, in consultation with the Principal Agent (in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System) after consulting with the Issuer and the Delivery Agent, it has determined that such Asset Transfer Notice is incomplete or not in proper form. In the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part, none of the Issuer, the Agents, or the Relevant Clearing System shall be liable to any person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with such determination or the notification of such determination to a Noteholder.

No Asset Transfer Notice may be withdrawn after receipt thereof by either the Relevant Clearing System or the applicable Paying Agent, as provided above. After delivery of an Asset Transfer Notice, the relevant Noteholder may not transfer the Notes which are the subject of such notice.

The Physical Delivery Amount will be delivered at the risk of the relevant Noteholder, in the manner provided below on the Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, or any other relevant date as specified in the applicable Final Terms, as the case may be (such date, subject to adjustment in accordance with this Condition 5(h), the “Delivery Date”), provided that the Asset Transfer Notice is duly delivered to the Relevant Clearing System or any Paying Agent, as applicable, as provided above on or prior to the Physical Delivery Cut-Off Date.

If a Noteholder fails to give an Asset Transfer Notice as provided herein on or prior to the Physical Delivery Cut-Off Date, then the Physical Delivery Amount will be delivered as soon as practicable after the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or other relevant date as specified in the applicable Final Terms, as the case may be, (in which case, such date of delivery shall be the Delivery Date) at the risk of such Noteholder in the manner provided below. For the avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances such Noteholder shall not be entitled to any payment, whether of interest or otherwise, as a result of such Delivery Date falling after the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or such other relevant date as specified in the applicable Final Terms and no liability in respect thereof shall attach to the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, or the Delivery Agent.

Schedule 6-1-23

The Issuer shall, at the risk of the relevant Noteholder, deliver or procure the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount for each Note, pursuant to the details specified in the Asset Transfer Notice or in such commercially reasonable manner as the Issuer shall in its sole discretion determine and notify to the person designated by the Noteholder in the relevant Asset Transfer Notice, provided that in the case of Notes held by a Relevant Clearing System, all deliveries are expected to be made through such Relevant Clearing System.

All Expenses arising from the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount in respect of such Notes shall be for the account of the relevant Noteholder, and no delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount shall be made until all Expenses have been paid to the satisfaction of the Issuer by the relevant Noteholder.

(4)

General

Notes held by the same Noteholder will be aggregated for the purpose of determining the aggregate Physical Delivery Amounts in respect of such Notes, provided that the aggregate Physical Delivery Amounts in respect of the same Noteholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole unit of the Relevant Asset or each of the Relevant Assets, as the case may be, in such manner as the Calculation Agent shall determine.

Therefore, fractions of the Relevant Asset or of each of the Relevant Assets, as the case may be, will not be delivered and no cash adjustment will be made in respect thereof.

Following the Delivery Date of a share certificate in respect of any Share, all dividends on the relevant Shares to be delivered will be payable to the party that would receive such dividend according to market practice for a sale of the Shares executed on the Delivery Date and to be delivered in the same manner as such relevant Shares. Any such dividends (net of any Expenses) to be paid to a Noteholder will be paid to the account specified by the Noteholder in the relevant Asset Transfer Notice as referred to in Condition 5(h)(A)(1).

For such period of time after delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount as the Issuer or any person acting on behalf of the Issuer shall continue to be the legal owner of any of the Relevant Asset(s) comprising the Physical Delivery Amount (the “Intervening Period”), whether owned in connection with such entity’s hedge of its obligations, directly or indirectly, under the Notes or otherwise held in its normal course of business, none of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Delivery Agent, or any other person shall at any time be under any obligation or liability to any Noteholder or Couponholder in respect of such Reference Assets, including without limitation, (i) any obligation to deliver or procure delivery to any Noteholder or Couponholder any letter, certificate, notice, circular, or any other document or payment (including any interest, dividend or any other distribution) in respect of any Reference Asset whatsoever received by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any such other entities in its capacity as the holder of such Reference Asset(s), (ii) any obligation to exercise or procure exercise of any or all rights attaching to such Reference Asset(s), or (iii) any liability to a Noteholder or Couponholder in respect of any loss or damage which such Noteholder or Couponholder may sustain or suffer as a result, whether directly or indirectly, of that person being registered during such Intervening Period as the legal owner of such Reference Asset(s).

Schedule 6-1-24

In the case of Definitive Notes held outside of a Relevant Clearing System where Physical Settlement is applicable, the relevant Reference Assets (if any) shall be delivered to the Noteholder by the Delivery Agent on behalf of the Issuer.

Settlement Disruption

If, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount using the method of delivery specified in the applicable Final Terms or such commercially reasonable manner as the Calculation Agent has determined is not practicable by reason of a Settlement Disruption Event having occurred and continuing on the Delivery Date, then the Delivery Date shall be postponed to the first following Settlement Business Day in respect of which there is no such Settlement Disruption Event, provided that, the Issuer may elect in its sole discretion to satisfy its obligations in respect of the relevant Note by delivering or procuring the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount using such other commercially reasonable manner as it may select and in such event the Delivery Date shall be such day as the Issuer deems appropriate in connection with delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount in such other commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, where a Settlement Disruption Event affects some but not all of the Relevant Assets comprising the Physical Delivery Amount, the Delivery Date for the Relevant Assets not affected by the Settlement Disruption Event will be the originally designated Delivery Date. For so long as delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount is not practicable by reason of a Settlement Disruption Event, then in lieu of physical settlement and notwithstanding any other provision hereof the Issuer may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to satisfy its obligations in respect of the relevant Note by payment to the relevant Noteholder of the Disruption Cash Redemption Amount on the fifth Business Day following the date that notice of such election is given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. Payment of the Disruption Cash Redemption Amount will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. The Calculation Agent shall give notice as soon as practicable to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 that a Settlement Disruption Event has occurred. No Noteholder shall be entitled to any payment in respect of the relevant Note in the event of any delay in the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount due to the occurrence of a Settlement Disruption Event and no liability in respect thereof shall attach to the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, or the Delivery Agent.

For the purposes hereof:

“Affiliate” means, in relation to any person, any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by the person, any entity that controls, directly or indirectly, the person or any entity directly or indirectly under common control with the person. For this purpose, “control” of any entity or person means ownership of a majority of the voting power of the entity or person.

“Disruption Cash Redemption Amount”, in respect of any relevant Note, shall be the fair market value of such Note on the Delivery Date (taking into account, where the Settlement Disruption Event affected some but not all of the Relevant Assets comprising the Physical Delivery Amount and such unaffected Relevant Assets have been duly delivered as provided above, the value of such Relevant Assets), adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or related hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of

Schedule 6-1-25

any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes), all as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner;

“Settlement Business Day”, in respect of each Note, has the meaning specified in the applicable Final Terms relating to such Note; and

“Settlement Disruption Event” means, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, an event beyond the control of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates as a result of which the Issuer cannot make delivery of the Relevant Asset(s) using the method specified in the applicable Final Terms.

(6)

Failure to Deliver due to Illiquidity

If “Failure to Deliver due to Illiquidity” is specified as applying in the applicable Final Terms and in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, it is impossible or impracticable to deliver, when due, some or all of the Relevant Assets (the “Affected Relevant Assets”) comprising the Physical Delivery Amount, where such failure to deliver is due to illiquidity in the market for the Relevant Assets (a “Failure to Deliver”), then:

(i)

subject as provided elsewhere in the Terms and Conditions, any Relevant Assets which are not Affected Relevant Assets, will be delivered on the originally designated Maturity Date in accordance with this Condition 5(h); and

(ii)

in respect of any Affected Relevant Assets, in lieu of physical settlement and notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Issuer may elect in its sole discretion to satisfy its obligations in respect of the relevant Note by payment to the relevant Noteholder of the Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount on the fifth Business Day following the date that notice of such election is given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. Payment of the Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. The Calculation Agent shall give notice as soon as practicable to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 that the provisions of this Condition 5(h)(A)(6) apply.

For the purposes hereof, “Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount” in respect of any relevant Note, shall be the fair market value of such Note on the Delivery Date (taking into account the value of the Relevant Assets comprising the Physical Delivery Amount which have been duly delivered as provided above, the value of such Relevant Assets), adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or related hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes), all as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

(B)

Variation of Settlement

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that the Issuer has an option to vary settlement in respect of the Notes, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, in respect of each such Note, elect not to pay the relevant Noteholders the Final Redemption Amount or to deliver or procure delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount to the

Schedule 6-1-26

relevant Noteholders, as the case may be, but, in lieu thereof to deliver or procure delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount or make payment of the Final Redemption Amount on the Maturity Date to the relevant Noteholders, as the case may be. Notification of such election will be given to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14.

(C)

Issuer’s Option to Substitute Assets or to Pay the Alternative Cash Redemption Amount

Following a valid redemption of Notes in accordance with these Conditions, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion in respect of such Notes, if the Calculation Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Relevant Asset or Relevant Assets, as the case may be, comprises Shares which are not freely tradable, elect either (i) to substitute for the Relevant Asset or the Relevant Assets, as the case may be, an equivalent value (as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) of such other Shares which the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, are freely tradable (the “Substitute Asset” or the “Substitute Assets”, as the case may be) or (ii) not to deliver or procure the delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount or the Substitute Asset or Substitute Assets, as the case may be, to the relevant Noteholders, but in lieu thereof to make payment to the relevant Noteholder on the Settlement Date of an amount equal to the fair market value of the Physical Delivery Amount on the Delivery Date adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or related hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes) as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner (the “Alternative Cash Redemption Amount”). Notification of any such election will be given to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14.

For purposes hereof, a “freely tradable” Share shall mean (i) with respect to the United States, a share which is registered under the Securities Act or not a “restricted security” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and which is not purchased from the issuer of such share and not purchased from an Affiliate of the issuer of such share or which otherwise meets the requirements of a freely tradable share for purposes of the Securities Act, in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion or (ii) with respect to any other jurisdiction, a share not subject to any legal restrictions on transfer in such jurisdiction, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

(D)

Rights of Noteholders and Calculations

None of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Delivery Agent, or any of the other the Agents shall have any responsibility for any errors or omissions in the calculation of any Redemption Amount or of any Physical Delivery Amount.

The holding of Notes does not confer on any holder of such Notes any rights (whether in respect of voting, distributions, or otherwise) attaching to any Relevant Asset.

Schedule 6-1-27

(i)	*Rounding*

For the purposes of any calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified in the relevant Final Terms), (x) all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up), (y) all figures shall be rounded to seven significant figures (with halves being rounded up) and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded to the nearest sub-unit of such currency (with halves being rounded up), except in the case of Japanese yen, which shall be rounded down to the nearest Japanese yen.

6.	Redemption and Purchase

(a)	*At Maturity*

Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as specified below, the Issuer will redeem each Note at an amount (the “Final Redemption Amount” (or, in the case only of Physical Delivery Notes, by delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount (as provided in Condition 5(h) above))) specified in, or determined in the manner specified in the applicable Final Terms in the relevant Specified Currency on the Maturity Date.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Redemption Amount” shall mean the Final Redemption Amount, Disruption Cash Redemption Amount, Failure to Deliver Redemption Amount, Alternative Cash Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount, Minimum Redemption Amount, Higher Redemption Amount (each as defined below), or any other amount specified in the applicable Final Terms as being the amount for which the Notes are to be redeemed, as the context may require.

(b)	*Redemption for Tax Reasons*

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time (in the case of Fixed-Rate Notes) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes), on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to the Principal Agent and to the Noteholders, in accordance with Condition 14, if:

(i)

on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as discussed in Condition 8 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes; and

(ii)

the Issuer cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it,

provided that no such redemption notice shall be given earlier than 90 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication of any redemption notice pursuant to this Condition 6(b), the Issuer shall deliver a certificate to the Principal Agent signed by the Chief Financial Officer or an Authorized Officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent, if any, to the redemption have occurred. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Authorized Officer” means, with respect to the Issuer, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, or any Senior Vice

Schedule 6-1-28

President of the Issuer or any other person who is duly authorized to act for the Issuer in matters relating to, and binding upon, the Issuer.

Notes redeemed pursuant to this Condition 6(b) will be redeemed at their Early Redemption AmFount referred to in Condition 6(f) below together (if appropriate) with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption.

(c)	*Special Tax Redemption*

If the Issuer determines that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents in respect of any Note (other than in respect of a Registered Note) or Coupon, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, would be subject to any certification, documentation, information, or other reporting requirement of any kind the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent, or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence, or identity of a beneficial owner of such Note or Coupon who is a United States Alien (as defined herein) (other than a requirement (1) that would not be applicable to a payment by the Issuer or any one of the Paying Agents (x) directly to the beneficial owner, or (y) to a custodian, nominee, or other agent of the beneficial owner, (2) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee, or other agent certifying to the effect that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien, provided that, in any case referred to in Clauses (1)(y) or (2), payment by the custodian, nominee, or agent to the beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement, or (3) that would not be applicable to a payment by at least one Paying Agent of the Issuer), the Issuer shall at its option either:

(i)

redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time (in the case of Fixed-Rate Notes) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes), at a price equal to the Early Redemption Amount referred to in Condition 6(f) below, together with, if appropriate, interest accrued to but excluding the date fixed for redemption; or

(ii)

if the conditions of the second succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the Additional Amounts specified in such paragraph.

The Issuer shall make its determination as soon as practicable and publish prompt notice thereof (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of its certification, documentation, information, or other reporting requirement, whether the Issuer will redeem the Notes or pay the Additional Amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the Notes must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Condition 6(c), that redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Principal Agent at least 45 calendar days before the redemption date. Notice of such redemption of the Notes will be given to the Noteholders not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the redemption date by publication in accordance with Condition 14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not redeem the Notes if the Issuer shall subsequently determine not less than 30 calendar days prior to the redemption date, that subsequent payments on the Notes and Coupons would not be subject to any such certification, documentation, information, or other reporting requirement, in which case the Issuer shall give prompt notice of its subsequent determination by publication in accordance with Condition 14 and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as the certification, documentation, information, or other reporting requirement referred to in the second preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect to pay as additional interest such Additional Amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of that requirement by the Issuer or any of its Paying Agents in respect of any

Schedule 6-1-29

Note or any Coupon of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence, or identity, other than status as a United States Alien, of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent, or any governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of that backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (1) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph or (2) is imposed as a result of the presentation of the Note or Coupon for payment more than 15 calendar days after the date on which that payment became due and payable or on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later), will not be less than the amount provided for in the Note or Coupon to be then due and payable. If the Issuer elects to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time (in the case of Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes), subject to the provisions of the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Issuer elects to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer shall redeem the Notes pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

For purposes of this Condition 6(c), the terms “Additional Amounts” and “United States Alien” have the meanings given in Condition 8.

The requirement under these Terms and Conditions that a Noteholder submit an Asset Transfer Notice or Put Notice disclosing certain information with respect to the Noteholder and the requirement that the Noteholder and each legal or beneficial owner, as a condition to purchasing a Note, make certain representations and agreements as to its status as a U.S. person and other matters, are not requirements as to which the provisions of this Condition 6(c) apply. In addition, in the case of Definitive Notes which are not held through a Relevant Clearing System and in the case of Non-Principal Protected Notes, if this Condition 6(c) would otherwise apply to the Notes, the Issuer shall have the option to redeem the Definitive Notes in the manner set forth in the third preceding paragraph, but shall not be required to redeem the Definitive Notes or pay any Additional Amounts.

Whenever any Additional Amounts are to be paid on Notes or Coupons, the Issuer will give notice to the Agent, the Registrar and the other Paying Agents, as provided in the Agency Agreement.

(d)	*Call Option-Redemption at the Option of the Issuer (Issuer Call Option)*

If the applicable Final Terms specify that the Issuer has an option to redeem the Notes, and the Issuer gives:

(i)

not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days’ notice in accordance with Condition 14 to the Noteholders (or such other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms); and

(ii)

not less than seven London Business Days (as defined in Condition 4(b)(v)) (or such other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) before giving notice as referred to in (i), notice to the Principal Agent;

(both of which notices shall be irrevocable), then the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes then outstanding on the dates upon which redemption may occur (each, an “Optional Redemption Date”) and at the Optional Redemption Amounts specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Dates. Any redemption must be of a principal amount equal to the minimum principal amount of the Notes permitted to be redeemed at any time (the “Minimum Redemption Amount”) or any greater principal amount of the Notes permitted to be redeemed at any time (each, a “Higher Redemption Amount”), both as indicated in the applicable Final Terms. In the case of a partial redemption of Notes,

Schedule 6-1-30

the Notes to be redeemed (“Redeemed Notes”) will be selected individually by lot, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates, and in accordance with the rules of the Relevant Clearing Systems (to be reflected in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion), in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered Global Certificate, not more than 60 calendar days prior (or such other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) to the date fixed for redemption (the “Selection Date”). In the case of Redeemed Notes represented by Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates, a list of the serial numbers of the Redeemed Notes will be published in accordance with Condition 14 not less than 30 calendar days prior (or any other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) to the date fixed for redemption. The aggregate principal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates shall bear the same proportion to the aggregate principal amount of all Redeemed Notes as the aggregate principal amount of Bearer Definitive Notes or Registered Definitive Certificates outstanding bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, in each case on the Selection Date, provided that the first mentioned principal amount, if necessary, shall be rounded downwards to the nearest integral multiple of the Specified Denomination, and the aggregate principal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by a Bearer Global Note or a Registered Definitive Certificate shall be equal to the balance of the Redeemed Notes. No exchange of the relevant Bearer Global Note or a Registered Definitive Certificate will be permitted during the period from and including the Selection Date to and including the date fixed for redemption pursuant to this Condition 6(d) and the Issuer shall give notice to that effect to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 at least 10 calendar days prior (or any other period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms) to the Selection Date.

(e)	*Put Option-Redemption at the Option of the Noteholders (Investor Put Option)*

If the applicable Final Terms specify that the Noteholders have an option to redeem the Notes, upon the Noteholder giving the Issuer, in accordance with Condition 14, not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days’ notice or such other period of notice as is specified in the applicable Final Terms (which notice shall be irrevocable), the Issuer, upon the expiration of such notice, will redeem (in accordance with the terms specified in the applicable Final Terms) in whole (but not in part), such Notes on the Optional Redemption Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Final Terms together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date.

To exercise such option or any other Noteholders’ option that may be set out in the applicable Final Terms, the Noteholder must deposit (in the case of Bearer Notes) such Note (together with all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and unexchanged Talons) with any Paying Agent outside the United States, or (in the case of Registered Notes) the Registered Certificate representing such Note(s) with the Registrar or any Transfer Agent at its specified office, during normal business hours of such Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent falling within the notice period, together with a duly signed and completed option exercise notice in the form obtainable from any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent (the “Put Notice”) in which the Noteholder must specify a bank account (or, if payment is by check, an address) to which payment is to be made under this Condition 6(e).

(f)	*Early Redemption Amounts*

For purposes of Condition 6(b) and 6(c) above and Condition 10, the Notes will be redeemed at the Early Redemption Amount calculated as follows, together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption or (as the case may be) the date upon which such Note becomes due and repayable prior to the Maturity Date:

Schedule 6-1-31

(i)

in the case of a Note (other than a Zero Coupon Note, a Dual Currency Note, an Index Linked Redemption Note, a Share Linked Redemption Note, an Inflation Linked Redemption Note, a Commodity Linked Redemption Note, an FX Linked Redemption Note, a Hybrid Redemption Note, or an other Underlying Asset(s) Redemption Note) with a Final Redemption Amount equal to 100 per cent. of its outstanding principal amount at the Final Redemption Amount thereof; or

(ii)

in the case of a Note (other than those described in Condition 6(f)(i) above or Condition 6(f)(iii) below), the Early Redemption Amount payable (subject to Condition 6(l) if applicable) shall be the amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent to be the fair market value of the Notes immediately prior to (and ignoring the circumstances leading to) such early redemption, adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or related hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes), unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms; or

(iii)

in the case of a Zero Coupon Note, which is not a Dual Currency Note, an Index Linked Redemption Note, a Share Linked Redemption Note, an Inflation Linked Note, a Commodity Linked Redemption Note, an FX Linked Redemption Note, a Hybrid Redemption Note, or an other Underlying Asset(s) Redemption Note, at an amount (the “Amortized Face Amount”) equal to:

(A)

the sum of (1) the Reference Price specified in the applicable Final Terms multiplied by the face amount of the Note (the “Reference Price Amount”) and (2) the product of the Accrual Yield specified in the applicable Final Terms (compounded annually) being applied to the Reference Price Amount from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption or the date upon which such Note becomes due and repayable (as the case may be); or

(B)

if the amount payable with respect to any Zero Coupon Note upon redemption pursuant to Condition 6(b), (c), (d), or (e) above or upon its becoming due and repayable as provided in Condition 10 is not paid or available for payment when due, the amount due and repayable with respect to such Zero Coupon Note shall be the Amortized Face Amount of such Zero Coupon Note calculated as provided above as though the references in sub-paragraph (A) to the date fixed for redemption or the date upon which the Zero Coupon Note becomes due and repayable were replaced by references to the date (the “Reference Date”) which is the earlier of:

(1)

the date on which all amounts due with respect to the Note have been paid; or

(2)

the date on which the full amount of the monies repayable has been received by the Agent and notice to that effect has been given in accordance with Condition 14.

The calculation of the Amortized Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph (B) will continue to be made, before, as well as, after judgment, until the Reference Date, unless the Reference Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and repayable shall be the principal amount of such Note together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the Accrual Yield.

Schedule 6-1-32

Where such calculation is to be made for a period which is not a whole number of years, it shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 calendar days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed or such other calculation basis as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms.

(g)	*Installment Notes; Amortizing Notes*

If the Notes are Installment Notes, they will be redeemed in the Installment Amounts and on the date on which each installment is repayable (each, an “Installment Date”) as specified in the applicable Final Terms. In the case of early redemption, the Early Redemption Amount will be determined pursuant to Condition 6(f) above. If the Notes are Amortizing Notes, they will be redeemed in the amounts and on the dates set forth on the Amortization Table specified in the applicable Final Terms.

(h)	*Partly Paid Notes*

If the Notes are Partly Paid Notes, they will be redeemed, whether at maturity, early redemption, or otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 6 and the applicable Final Terms. In the case of early redemption, the Early Redemption Amount will be determined pursuant to Condition 6(f) above by reference to the amount paid with respect to such Notes.

(i)	Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Redemption Notes, Share Linked Redemption Notes, Inflation Linked Redemption Notes, Commodity Linked Redemption Notes, FX Linked Redemption Notes, Hybrid Redemption Notes, and other Underlying Asset(s) Redemption Notes

If the Notes are Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Redemption Notes, Share Linked Redemption Notes, Inflation Linked Redemption Notes, Commodity Linked Redemption Notes, FX Linked Redemption Notes, Hybrid Redemption Notes, or other Underlying Asset(s) Redemption Notes, they will be redeemed, whether at maturity, early redemption, or otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 6 and the applicable Final Terms.

(j)	*Repurchases*

The Issuer and/or any of its Affiliates may at any time repurchase Notes (provided that, in the case of Bearer Definitive Notes, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons attached thereto are repurchased therewith) at any price in the open market or otherwise. Such Notes may be held, reissued, resold, or surrendered to any Paying Agent for cancellation, provided that any such Notes reissued or resold comply with the selling restrictions set forth in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5 as if they were newly issued.

(k)	*Cancellation*

All Notes which are redeemed will be cancelled (together with, in the case of Bearer Notes, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons attached thereto or surrendered therewith at the time of redemption) in the case of Bearer Notes, by surrendering each such Note together with all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and all unexchanged Talons to any Paying Agent and, in the case of Registered Notes, by surrendering the Registered Certificate representing such Registered Notes to the Registrar and, in each case, if so surrendered, shall, together with all Notes redeemed by the Issuer, be cancelled forthwith (together with, in the case of Bearer Notes, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and unexchanged Talons attached thereto or surrendered therewith). All Notes so cancelled and the Notes purchased and cancelled pursuant to Condition 6(j) above (together with, in the case of Bearer Notes, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons cancelled therewith) shall be forwarded to the Principal Agent and cannot be reissued or resold.

Schedule 6-1-33

(l)	*Principal Protected Notes*

In the case of all Notes which the applicable Final Terms specify to be “Principal Protected”, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the amount of cash and fair market value of property delivered at maturity or upon early redemption will not be less than the Specified Denomination of such Note.

7.	Redenomination

If the applicable Final Terms permits redenomination, Notes denominated in a currency that may be redenominated into euro, at the election of the Issuer, may be subject to redenomination in the manner set out below. In relation to such Notes, the Issuer, without the consent of the Noteholders, Receiptholders, or Couponholders, on giving at least 30 calendar days’ prior notice to Noteholders, Receiptholders, Couponholders, the Principal Agent and the Relevant Clearing Systems in accordance with Condition 14, may designate a “Redenomination Date” for the Notes, being (in the case of interest-bearing Notes) a date for payment of interest under the Notes (or in the case of Zero Coupon Notes, any date), in each case specified by the Issuer in the notice given pursuant to this paragraph and falling on or after the date on which the relevant member state commences participation in the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the EC Treaty and which falls before the date on which the currency ceases to be a sub-division of the euro. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bearer Notes will not be redenominated at the election of the Issuer pursuant to this Condition 7 unless the Issuer receives an opinion of United States tax counsel recognized as an expert in such matters that the Notes would be in compliance with United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) after such redenomination.

Beginning on the Redenomination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions:

(i)

the Notes and the Receipts shall (unless already so provided by mandatory provisions of applicable law) be deemed to be redenominated in euro in the denomination of euro 0.01 with a nominal amount for each Note and Receipt equal to the nominal amount of that Note and Receipt in the Specified Currency, converted into euro at the rate for conversion established by the Council of the European Union pursuant to the EC Treaty (including compliance with rules relating to rounding in accordance with European Community regulations) provided that, if the Issuer determines, with the agreement of the Agent (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), that the then market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro 0.01 of internationally offered securities is different from the provisions specified above, such provisions shall be deemed to be amended so as to comply with such market practice and the Issuer shall promptly notify the Noteholders, any stock exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and any Paying Agent of such deemed amendment;

(ii)

if Definitive Notes are required to be issued after the Redenomination Date, they shall be issued at the expense of the Issuer in the denominations of €50,000, and such other denominations as the Principal Agent determines and gives notice of to the Noteholders;

(iii)

if Bearer Definitive Notes have been issued prior to the Redenomination Date, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons denominated in the Specified Currency (whether or not attached to the Notes) will become void from the date on which the Issuer gives the notice (the “Exchange Notice”) that replacement euro-denominated Notes, Receipts, and Coupons are available for exchange (provided that such securities are so available) and no payments will be made in respect of them. The payment obligations contained in any Notes and Receipts so issued also will become void on that date although those Notes and Receipts will continue to constitute valid exchange obligations of the Issuer. New certificates in respect of euro-denominated

Schedule 6-1-34

Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes, Receipts and Coupons denominated in the Specified Currency in such manner as the Principal Agent may specify and shall be stated to Noteholders in the Exchange Notice;

(iv)

after the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of the Notes (other than payments of interest in respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date) will be made solely in euro, unless the Redenomination Date is on or after such date as the Specified Currency ceases to be a sub-division of the euro. Such payments will be made in euro by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee;

(v)

the amount of interest in respect of Notes will be calculated by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of Bearer Definitive Notes presented (or, as the case may be, in respect of which Receipts or Coupons are presented) for payment by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01; and

(vi)

if the Notes are Notes other than Fixed-Rate Notes, Zero Coupon Notes or other non-interest bearing Notes, the applicable Final Terms will specify any relevant changes to the provisions relating to interest.

In connection with such redenomination, the Issuer, after consultation with the Principal Agent, may make such other changes to the Terms and Conditions applicable to the relevant Notes, including, without limitation, with respect to any Business Day, Fixed Day Count Fraction, Floating Day Count Fraction, or other conventions as it may decide, so as to conform them to the then market practice in respect of euro- denominated debt securities issued in the Euromarkets, which are held in international clearing systems. Any such changes will not take effect until the next following Interest Payment Date after the Noteholders have been given notice in accordance with Condition 14.

The circumstances and consequences described in this Condition 7 and any resulting amendment to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes will not entitle any Noteholder (a) to any legal remedy, including, without limitation, redemption, rescission, notice, repudiation, adjustment, or renegotiation of the Notes, or (b) to raise any defense or make any claim (including, without limitation, claims of breach, force majeure, frustration of purpose, or impracticability) or any other claim for compensation, damages, or any other relief.

8.	Taxation

(c)

any tax, assessment, or governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder of such Note or Coupon for payment on a date more than 30 calendar days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(d)

any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, wealth, or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment, or governmental charge;

(e)

any tax, assessment, or governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or a Paying Agent from the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or Coupon;

(iv)

a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, conservator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive calendar days; or

(ii)

(c)	*Acceleration of Notes, Notices, Certain Calculations, and Amounts to be Paid*

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Series of Notes, then the holder of any Notes of the applicable Series, at such holder’s option, by written notice to the Issuer and the Principal Agent, may declare the principal of such Note, the interest accrued, or any other amounts then payable thereon (and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon) to be due and payable immediately and if any such Event of Default shall continue at the time of receipt of such written notice, such amounts shall become immediately due and payable, subject to the qualification in bold-type immediately below. Upon payment of such amount of principal, interest, or any other amounts payable (and Additional Amounts, if any), all of the Issuer’s obligations in respect of payment of principal of, interest, or any other amounts payable (and Additional Amounts, if any) on such Note shall terminate.

Payment of the principal, the interest accrued, or any other amounts then payable thereon (and Additional Amounts, if any) of the Subordinated Notes may be accelerated only in the case of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, or an event which, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be an Event of Default, shall occur and be continuing, the Issuer shall notify the Principal Agent in writing of such Event of Default no later than the following Business Day after it becomes aware of such Event of Default, and the Principal Agent thereupon promptly shall notify all of the relevant Noteholders of such Event of Default.

For purposes of Condition 10(a)(iii) above, any indebtedness which is in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be translated into U.S. Dollars at the “spot” rate for the sale of U.S. Dollars against the purchase of the Specified Currency as quoted by the Principal Agent on the calendar day in London corresponding to the calendar day on which such premature repayment becomes due or, as the case may be, such default occurs (or, if for any reason such a rate is not available on that day, on the earliest possible date thereafter).

PRODUCT ANNEXES

ANNEX 1

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INDEX LINKED NOTES

The terms and conditions applicable to Index Linked Notes shall comprise the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the additional Terms and Conditions set out below (the “Index Linked Conditions”), in each case subject to completion and/or amendment in the applicable Final Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the Index Linked Conditions, the Index Linked Conditions shall prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between (i) the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and/or the Index Linked Conditions and (ii) the Final Terms, the Final Terms shall prevail.

1.	Consequences of Disrupted Days

1.1	In relation to an Index or an Index Basket, the following provisions shall apply to each Reference Date (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms):

(i)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a single Index, if the Calculation Agent determines that any Reference Date is a Disrupted Day, then the Reference Date for such Index shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day in respect of such Index, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption in respect of such Index immediately following the Scheduled Reference Date is a Disrupted Day. In that case:

(a)

that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Reference Date for such Index, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day; and

(b)

the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level of such Index as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of, calculating such Index last in effect prior to the occurrence of the first Disrupted Day using the Exchange traded or quoted price as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day of each Component comprised in the Index (or, if an event giving rise to a Disrupted Day has occurred in respect of any relevant Component on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day, its good faith estimate of the value for the relevant Component as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day) (and such determination by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be deemed to be the Index Level at the Valuation Time in respect of the relevant Reference Date); or

(ii)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to an Index Basket, then

(a)

the Reference Date for each Index not affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent) shall be the relevant Scheduled Reference Date, and (b) the Reference Date for each Index affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent) shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day which the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day relating to that Index, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the Scheduled Reference Date is a Disrupted Day relating to that Index. In that case:

Schedule 6-2-1

(I)

that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Reference Date for such Index, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day; and

(II)

the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level of such Index as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of, calculating such Index last in effect prior to the occurrence of the first Disrupted Day using the Exchange traded or quoted price as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day of each Component comprised in the Index (or, if an event giving rise to a Disrupted Day has occurred in respect of any relevant Component on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day, its good faith estimate of the value for the relevant Component as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day) (and such determination by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be the Index Level at the Valuation Time in respect of the relevant Reference Date).

1.2

In relation to an Index or an Index Basket to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” is not specified to be applicable, if the Calculation Agent determines that any Averaging Reference Date is a Disrupted Day in respect of an Index and, if in the applicable Final Terms the consequence specified is:

(i)

“Omission”, then such Averaging Reference Date will be deemed not to be a relevant Averaging Reference Date for the purposes of determining the Index Level at the Valuation Time, provided that, if through the operation of this provision there would not be an Averaging Reference Date, then paragraph 1.1 of these Index Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the relevant Index Level at the Valuation Time on the final Averaging Reference Date, as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date that was a Disrupted Day;

(ii)

“Postponement”, then paragraph 1.1 of these Index Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the Index Level at the Valuation Time on that Averaging Reference Date as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date that was a Disrupted Day, irrespective of whether, pursuant to such determination, that deferred Averaging Reference Date would fall on a day that already is or is deemed to be an Averaging Reference Date; or

(iii)

“Modified Postponement”, then:

(a)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a single Index, the Averaging Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Valid Date. If the first succeeding Valid Date has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date, then (I) that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date), and (II) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 1.1(i)(b) of these Index Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date; and

Schedule 6-2-2

(b)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to an Index Basket, (I) the Averaging Reference Date for each Index not affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day shall be the relevant Averaging Reference Date, and (II) the Averaging Reference Date for an Index affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day shall be the first succeeding Valid Date in relation to such Index. If the first succeeding Valid Date has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date in relation to the relevant Scheduled Reference Date, then (y) that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date) in respect of such Index, and (z) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 1.1(i)(b) of these Index Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date.

5.2

If, the Calculation Agent determines that, (i) on or prior to any Reference Date, Averaging Reference Date, Observation Date, or other relevant date, the relevant Index Sponsor makes or announces that it will make a material change in the formula for, or the method of, calculating a relevant Index, or in any other way materially modifies that Index (other than a modification prescribed in that formula or method to maintain that Index in the event of changes in the Components, capitalization, and/or other routine events) (an “Index Modification”), or permanently cancels a relevant Index and no Successor Index exists as at the date of such cancellation (an “Index Cancellation”), or (ii) on any Reference Date, Averaging Reference Date, Observation Date, or other relevant date, the Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce a relevant Index (an “Index Disruption” (provided that, in respect of a Composite Index or a Proprietary Index, the Calculation Agent may, in its discretion, determine that such event instead results in the occurrence of a Disrupted Day) and, together with an Index Modification and an Index Cancellation, each an “Index Adjustment Event”) then:

(i)

if “Calculation Agent Adjustment” is stated to be applicable in the applicable Final Terms, the Calculation Agent shall determine if such Index Adjustment Event has a material effect on the Notes and, if so, shall calculate the relevant Index Level using, in lieu of a published level for that Index, the level for that Index as at the Valuation Time on that Reference Date, Averaging Reference Date, Observation Date, or other relevant date, as the case may be, as determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for, and method of, calculating that Index last in effect prior to the relevant Index Adjustment Event, but using only those Components that comprised that Index immediately prior to that Index Adjustment Event (other than those Components that have since ceased to be listed on the relevant Exchange); or

(ii)

if “Related Exchange Adjustment” is stated to be applicable in the applicable Final Terms, then following each adjustment to the exercise, settlement, payment, or other terms of options or futures contracts on the Index traded on any Options Exchange, the Calculation Agent will make the corresponding adjustments, if any, to any one or more of terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, which adjustment will be effective as of the date determined by the Calculation Agent to be the effective date of the corresponding adjustment made by the Options Exchange. If options or futures contracts on

Schedule 6-2-8

the Index are not traded on the Options Exchange, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustment, if any, to any one or more of the relevant terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, with reference to the rules of and precedents (if any) set by the Options Exchange, to account for any event that, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, would have given rise to an adjustment by the Options Exchange if such options or futures contracts were so traded; or

(iii)

if, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, neither paragraph (i) nor (ii) above, as is applicable, would achieve a commercially reasonable result, on giving notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be, the Issuer shall redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, each Note being redeemed by payment of an amount equal to the fair market value of such Note taking into account the Index Adjustment Event, adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or related hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms)), all as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be.

5.3

The Calculation Agent shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the relevant Agent and the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 of any determination with respect to the Notes made by it pursuant to paragraph 5.1 or 5.2 above, as is applicable, and the action proposed to be taken in relation thereto and such Agent shall make available for inspection by Noteholders copies of any such determinations. Any failure by the Calculation Agent to so notify the Noteholders of the determination and any action proposed to be taken in relation thereto shall not affect the validity of such determination or such action.

6.	Correction of Index Level

If the applicable Final Terms specify that corrections shall be applicable for a relevant Index, then, in the event that any Index Level published by the Index Sponsor on any date which is utilized for any calculation or determination is subsequently corrected and the correction is published by the Index Sponsor within one Settlement Cycle after the original publication, the Calculation Agent will make any determination or determine the amount that is payable or deliverable as a result of that correction, and, to the extent necessary, will adjust any relevant terms of the Notes to account for such correction, provided that, if a Correction Cut-off Date is applicable for a relevant Index for any relevant date, corrections published after such Correction Cut-off Date will be disregarded by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of determining or calculating any relevant amount, and/or whether any event specified in the applicable Final Terms has occurred.

7.	Additional Disruption Events

7.1	If any Additional Disruption Event is specified in the Final Terms to be applicable to the Notes, and such Additional Disruption Event occurs, the Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(i)

require the Calculation Agent to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the adjustment if any, to be made to any one or more of the terms of the Notes as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, to account for the Additional Disruption Event and determine the effective date of that adjustment; or

Schedule 6-2-9

(ii)

redeem the Notes in whole but not in part by giving notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be. If the Notes are so redeemed, the Issuer will pay to each Noteholder, in respect of each Note held by such Noteholder, an amount equal to the Early Redemption Amount of such Note. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be.

7.2

Upon the occurrence of an applicable Additional Disruption Event, the Issuer shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be, stating the occurrence of the Additional Disruption Event, giving details thereof and the action proposed to be taken in relation thereto.

8.	Index Disclaimer

If “Index Disclaimer” is specified as being applicable to an Index in the applicable Final Terms, then each of the Issuer and the Noteholders agrees and acknowledges, in respect of each Index, that the Notes are not sponsored, endorsed, sold, or promoted by the Index or the Index Sponsor and no Index Sponsor makes any representation whatsoever, whether express or implied, either as to the results to be obtained from the use of the Index and/or the levels at which the Index stands at any particular time on any particular date or otherwise. No Index or Index Sponsor shall be liable (whether in negligence or otherwise) to any person for any error in the Index and the Index Sponsor is under no obligation to advise any person of any error therein. No Index Sponsor is making any representation whatsoever, whether express or implied, as to the advisability of purchasing or assuming any risk in connection with the Notes. The Issuer shall have no liability to the Noteholders for any act or failure to act by the Index Sponsor in connection with the calculation, adjustment, or maintenance of the Index. Except as disclosed prior to the Issue Date specified in the applicable Final Terms, none of the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, and any of their respective Affiliates has any affiliation with or control over the Index or Index Sponsor or any control over the computation, composition, or dissemination of the Index.

10.1	In relation to any Notes to which these Index Linked Conditions apply, if the applicable Final Terms specify that:

(i)

“Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” shall apply to any two or more Indices (such Indices being “Basket Indices” and each, a “Basket Index”), then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the provisions of paragraphs 10.1, 10.4, and 10.5 of the Index Linked Conditions shall apply to each such Basket Index.

(ii)

10.2

In relation to Basket Indices to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” applies, for each Reference Date for a Basket Index (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Reference Date is affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day for any Basket Index (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day which the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day for any Basket Index, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that would have been such Reference Date is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Indices (such Basket Indices being “Affected Basket Indices” for such Reference Date, and each such Basket Index being an “Affected Basket Index” for such Reference Date). In that case:

(i)

that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be such Reference Date, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day for the Affected Basket Indices;

(ii)

for each Basket Index other than an Affected Basket Index, the relevant Index Level shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the applicable Valuation Time on such last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day; and

Schedule 6-2-13

(iii)

for each Affected Basket Index, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level at the applicable Valuation Time of each such Affected Basket Index on that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day in accordance with the formula for, and method of, calculating that Affected Basket Index last in effect prior to the occurrence of the first Disrupted Day in respect of such Affected Basket Index using the Exchange traded or quoted price as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day of each Component comprised in the Basket Index (or, if an event giving rise to a Disrupted Day has occurred in respect of any relevant Component on that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day, its good faith estimate of the value for the relevant Component as of the relevant Valuation Time on that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day) (and such determination by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this paragraph (iii) shall be deemed to be the Index Level at the Valuation Time of each Affected Basket Index in respect of the relevant Reference Date).

10.3

In relation to Basket Indices to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” applies, for each Averaging Reference Date for a Basket Index (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been an Averaging Reference Date is affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day for any Basket Index (as determined by the Calculation Agent), and, if in the applicable Final Terms the consequence specified is:

(i)

“Omission”, then the Averaging Reference Date corresponding to such original date will be deemed not to be a relevant Averaging Reference Date for the purposes of determining the Index Level of the Basket Indices at the Valuation Time, provided that, if through the operation of this provision there would not be an Averaging Reference Date, then paragraph 10.2(iii) of these Index Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the relevant Index Level at the Valuation Time on the final Averaging Reference Date, as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date on which a Disrupted Day had occurred for the Basket Indices;

(ii)

“Postponement”, then paragraph 10.2 of these Index Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the Index Level at the Valuation Time on that Averaging Reference Date as if such original date were a Reference Date that was a Disrupted Day for each Basket Indices, irrespective of whether, pursuant to such determination, that deferred Averaging Reference Date would fall on a day that already is or is deemed to be an Averaging Reference Date; or

(iii)

“Modified Postponement”, then the Averaging Reference Date for each Basket Index shall be the first succeeding Basket Valid Date in relation to each such Basket Index. If the first succeeding Basket Valid Date in relation to each such Basket Index has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date, then (a) that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date) for all Basket Indices, and (b) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Index Level of each Basket Index at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 10.2(ii) and (iii) of these Index Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date.

Schedule 6-2-14

10.4	In relation to Basket Indices to which “Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” applies:

(i)

for each Reference Date for a Basket Index (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Reference Date is not a Common Scheduled Trading Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day. If such first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Indices, then the Index Level of each Basket Index shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 1.1(ii), which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if the reference therein to “the relevant Scheduled Reference Date” in paragraph 1.1(ii)(a) were instead a reference to “such first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day” where “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” is not stated to apply or paragraph 10.2 of these Index Linked Conditions as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and

(ii)

for each Averaging Reference Date for a Basket Index (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Averaging Reference Date is not a Common Scheduled Trading Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Averaging Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day. If such first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Indices, then the Index Level of each Basket Index shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 1.2, which shall apply mutatis mutandis where “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” is not stated to apply or paragraph 10.3 of these Index Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis where “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” is stated to apply, as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

10.5	The following terms and expressions shall have the following meanings in relation to any Notes to which these Index Linked Conditions apply and to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” and/or “Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” shall apply:

“Basket Valid Date” means a Common Scheduled Trading Day for all Basket Indices that is not a Disrupted Day for any Basket Index and on which another Averaging Reference Date does not or is not deemed to occur.

“Common Observation Date” means, in respect of Basket Indices and a Common Observation Period, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, in respect of the Basket Indices, each Common Scheduled Trading Day falling in the Common Observation Period which is not a Disrupted Day for any Basket Index.

“Common Observation Period” means, in respect of Basket Indices, the period commencing on the Common Observation Period Start Date and ending on the Common Observation Period End Date.

“Common Observation Period End Date” means, in respect of Basket Indices, the date specified as such in the applicable Final Terms, which shall be the last day of the relevant Common Observation Period. Such day shall be included in or excluded from such Common Observation Period, as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

“Common Observation Period Start Date” means, in respect of Basket Indices, the date specified as such in the applicable Final Terms, which shall be the first day of the relevant Common Observation Period. Such day shall be included in or excluded from such Common Observation Period, as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SHARE LINKED NOTES

The terms and conditions applicable to Share Linked Notes shall comprise the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the additional Terms and Conditions set out below (the “Share Linked Conditions”), in each case subject to completion and/or amendment in the applicable Final Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the Share Linked Conditions, the Share Linked Conditions shall prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between (i) the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and/or the Share Linked Conditions and (ii) the Final Terms, the Final Terms shall prevail.

1.	Consequences of Disrupted Days

1.1	In relation to a Share or a Share Basket, the following provisions shall apply to each Reference Date (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms):

(i)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a single Share, if the Calculation Agent determines that any Reference Date is a Disrupted Day, then the Reference Date for such Share shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day in respect of such Share, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption in respect of such Share immediately following the Scheduled Reference Date is a Disrupted Day. In that case:

(a)

that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Reference Date for such Share, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day; and

(b)

the Calculation Agent shall determine its good faith estimate of the value for the Share as of the Valuation Time on that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day (and such determination by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be deemed to be the Share Price at the Valuation Time in respect of the relevant Reference Date).

(ii)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a Share Basket, then (a) the Reference Date for each Share not affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent) shall be the relevant Scheduled Reference Date, and (b) the Reference Date for each Share affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent) shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day which the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day relating to that Share, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the Scheduled Reference Date is a Disrupted Day relating to that Share. In that case:

(a)

that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Reference Date for such Share, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day; and

(b)

Schedule 6-2-17

1.2	In relation to a Share or Share Basket, if the Calculation Agent determines that any Averaging Reference Date is a Disrupted Day in respect of a Share and, if in the applicable Final Terms the consequence specified is:

(i)

“Omission”, then such Averaging Reference Date will be deemed not to be a relevant Averaging Reference Date for the purposes of determining the Share Price at the Valuation Time, provided that, if through the operation of this provision there would not be an Averaging Reference Date, then paragraph 1.1 of these Share Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the relevant Share Price at the Valuation Time on the final Averaging Reference Date, as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date that was a Disrupted Day;

(ii)

“Postponement”, then paragraph 1.1 of these Share Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the Share Price at the Valuation Time on that Averaging Reference Date as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date that was a Disrupted Day, irrespective of whether, pursuant to such determination, that deferred Averaging Reference Date would fall on a day that already is or is deemed to be an Averaging Reference Date; or

(iii)

“Modified Postponement”, then:

(a)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a single Share, the Averaging Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Valid Date. If the first succeeding Valid Date has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date, then (I) that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date), and (II) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Share Price at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 1.1(i)(b) of these Share Linked Conditions (as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date); and

(b)

where the Notes are specified in the applicable Final Terms to relate to a Share Basket, (I) the Averaging Reference Date for each Share not affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day shall be the relevant Averaging Reference Date, and (II) the Averaging Reference Date for a Share affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day shall be the first succeeding Valid Date in relation to such Share. If the first succeeding Valid Date has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date, then (y) that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date) in respect of such Share, and (z) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Share Price at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 1.1(i)(b) of these Share Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date.

“Exchange” means, in respect of a Share, each exchange or quotation system specified as such in the applicable Final Terms for such Share, any successor to such exchange or quotation system or any substitute exchange or quotation system to which trading in such Share has temporarily relocated (provided that the Calculation Agent has determined that there is comparable liquidity relative to such Share on such temporary substitute exchange or quotation system as on the original Exchange).

“Exchange Business Day” means any Scheduled Trading Day on which each Exchange and each Related Exchange are open for trading during their respective regular trading sessions, notwithstanding any such Exchange or Related Exchange closing prior to its Scheduled Closing Time.

If such Fallback Valuation Date is not a Scheduled Trading Day or is a Disrupted Day in respect of such Affected Share, the Share Price as of the Valuation Time for the Relevant Date for such Affected Share shall be determined pursuant to paragraph 1.1(i)(b) of these Share Linked Conditions, as if each reference therein to “that last consecutive Scheduled Trading Day” were instead a reference to “such Fallback Valuation Date”.

Schedule 6-2-20

5.	Automatic Early Redemption

Schedule 6-2-21

(vii)

any other event having, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares.

Following the determination by the Calculation Agent that a Potential Adjustment Event has occurred or following any adjustment to the settlement terms of listed options or futures contracts on the relevant Shares traded on a Related Exchange, the Calculation Agent will, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event or adjustment to the settlement terms of listed options or futures contracts on the relevant Shares traded on a Related Exchange has a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the Shares and, if so, will make the corresponding adjustment, if any, to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines appropriate to account for that diluting or concentrative effect (provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, or liquidity relative to the relevant Share), and (ii) determine the effective date of that adjustment. The Calculation Agent may, but need not, determine the appropriate adjustment by reference to the adjustment in respect of such Potential Adjustment Event made by an options exchange to options on the Shares traded on that options exchange.

Upon the making of any such adjustment by the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent shall give notice as soon as practicable to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be, stating the adjustment to the terms of the Notes, and giving brief details of the Potential Adjustment Event.

6.2	If a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Delisting, Nationalization, or Insolvency occurs in relation to any Share, the Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(i)

require the Calculation Agent to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, appropriate to account for the Merger Event, Tender Offer, Delisting, Nationalization, or Insolvency, as the case may be, and determine the effective date of that adjustment. The relevant adjustments may include, without limitation, adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Notes. The Calculation Agent may (but need not) determine the appropriate adjustment by reference to the adjustment in respect of the Merger Event, Tender Offer, Delisting, Nationalization, or Insolvency made by any options exchange to options on the Shares traded on that options exchange; or

(ii)

in the case of Share Linked Notes relating to a Share Basket, redeem the Notes in part by giving notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be. If the Notes are so redeemed in part, the portion (the “Redeemed Amount”) of each Note representing the affected Share(s) shall be redeemed and the Issuer will (a) pay to each Noteholder in respect of each Note held by such Noteholder an amount equal to the fair market value of the Redeemed Amount, taking into account the Merger Event, Tender Offer, Delisting, Nationalization, or Insolvency, as the case may be, adjusted to account fully for any reasonable expenses and costs of the Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying and/or relating hedging and funding arrangements (including, without limitation, any equity options, equity swaps, or other securities of any type whatsoever hedging the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms)), all as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially

Schedule 6-2-22

reasonable manner, and (b) require the Calculation Agent to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, appropriate to account for such redemption in part. For the avoidance of doubt the remaining part of each Note after such cancellation and adjustment shall remain outstanding with full force and effect. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be; or

(iii)

having given notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be, redeem all, but not some only, of the Notes, each Note being redeemed by payment of an amount equal to the Early Redemption Amount of such Note. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be; or

(iv)

following such adjustment to the settlement terms of options on the Shares traded on such exchange(s) or quotation system(s) as the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall select (the “Options Exchange”), require the Calculation Agent to make the appropriate adjustment, if any, to any one or more of terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, appropriate, which adjustment will be effective as of the date determined by the Calculation Agent to be the effective date of the corresponding adjustment made by the Options Exchange. If options on the Shares are not traded on the Options Exchange, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustment, if any, to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes as the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion determines appropriate, with reference to the rules and precedents (if any) set by the Options Exchange to account for the Merger Event, Tender Offer, Delisting, Nationalization, or Insolvency, as the case may be, that in the judgment of the Calculation Agent would have given rise to an adjustment by the Options Exchange if such options were so traded; or

(v)

if the applicable Final Terms provide that “Share Substitution” is applicable, then on or after the relevant Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, or the date of the Nationalization, Insolvency, or Delisting (as the case may be), require the Calculation Agent to adjust the Share Basket to include shares selected by it (the “Substitute Shares”) in place of the Shares (the “Affected Share(s)”) which are affected by such Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization, Insolvency, or Delisting, and the Substitute Shares and their issuer will be deemed “Shares” and a “Share Issuer” for the purposes of the Share Linked Conditions, respectively, and the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment, if any, to any one or more of terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, appropriate. In this regard:

(a)

such substitution and the relevant adjustment to the terms of the Notes will be deemed to be effective as of the date selected by the Calculation Agent (the “Substitution Date”), in its absolute discretion, and specified in the notice referred to in paragraph 6.3 below which may, but need not, be the Merger Date or Tender Offer Date or the date of the Nationalization, Insolvency, or Delisting (as the case may be);

Schedule 6-2-23

(b)

the weighting of each Substitute Share in the relevant basket will be equal to the weighting of the relevant Affected Share, unless otherwise determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion;

if a Merger Event or a Tender Offer occurs between two or more Shares of the relevant basket, Share Substitution will apply; and

(d)

in order to be selected as a Substitute Share, each relevant share must be a share which, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Calculation Agent:

7.	Correction of Share Price

If the applicable Final Terms specify that corrections shall be applicable for a relevant Share, then, in the event that any Share Price published on the Exchange on any date which is utilized for any calculation or determination is subsequently corrected and the correction is published by the Exchange within one Settlement Cycle after the original publication, the Calculation Agent will make any determination or determine the amount that is payable or deliverable as a result of that correction, and, to the extent necessary, will adjust any relevant terms of the Notes to account for such correction, provided that, if a Correction Cut-off Date is applicable for a relevant Share for any relevant date, corrections published after such Correction Cut-off Date will be disregarded by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of determining or calculating any relevant amount, and/or whether any event specified in the applicable Final Terms has occurred.

8.	Additional Disruption Events

8.1	If any Additional Disruption Event is specified in the applicable Final Terms to be applicable to the Notes, and such Additional Disruption Event occurs, the Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(i)

require the Calculation Agent to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the adjustment, if any, to be made to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the Additional Disruption Event and determine the effective date of that adjustment; or

such Note. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be; or

(iii)

if the applicable Final Terms provide that “Share Substitution” is applicable upon the occurrence of an Additional Disruption Event, then on or after the relevant Additional Disruption Event, the Calculation Agent may adjust the Share Basket to include a share selected by it (the “Substitute Shares”) in place of the Shares (the “Affected Share(s)”) which are affected by such Additional Disruption Event and such Substitute Shares will be deemed “Shares” and their issuer a “Share Issuer” for the purposes of the Shares, respectively, and the Calculation Agent may make such adjustment to any one or more of the terms of the Notes, including without limitation, any variable or term relevant to the settlement or payment under the Notes, as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, and/or any of the other terms of these Share Linked Conditions and/or the applicable Final Terms as the Calculation Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines appropriate.

10.	Additional Basket Valuation Provisions

10.1	In relation to any Notes to which these Share Linked Conditions apply, if the applicable Final Terms specify that:

(i)

“Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” shall apply to any two or more Shares (such Shares being “Basket Shares” and each a “Basket Share”), then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the provisions of paragraphs 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.5 of the Share Linked Conditions shall apply to each such Basket Share; or

(ii)

“Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” shall apply to any two or more Shares (such Shares being “Basket Shares” and each a “Basket Share”), then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the provisions of paragraphs 10.1, 10.4, and 10.5 of these Share Linked Conditions shall apply to each such Basket Share.

10.2

In relation to Basket Shares to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” applies, for each Reference Date for a Basket Share (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Reference Date is affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day for any Basket Share (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day which the Calculation Agent determines is not a Disrupted Day for any Basket Share, unless the Calculation Agent determines that each of the consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that would have been such Reference Date is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Shares (such Basket Shares being “Affected Basket Shares” for such Reference Date, and each such Basket Share being an “Affected Basket Share” for such Reference Date). In that case:

(i)

that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be such Reference Date, notwithstanding the fact that such day is a Disrupted Day for the Affected Basket Shares;

(ii)

for each Basket Share other than an Affected Basket Share, the relevant Share Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the applicable Valuation Time on such last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day; and

(iii)

for each Affected Basket Share, the Calculation Agent shall determine its good faith estimate of the value for the Affected Basket Share as of the Valuation Time on that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day (and such determination by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this paragraph (iii) shall be deemed to be the Share Price at the Valuation Time of such Affected Basket Share in respect of the relevant Reference Date).

10.3

In relation to the Basket Shares to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” applies, for each Averaging Reference Date for a Basket Share (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been an Averaging Reference Date is affected by the occurrence of a Disrupted Day for any Basket Share (as determined by the Calculation Agent), and, if in the applicable Final Terms the consequence specified is:

Schedule 6-2-30

(i)

“Omission”, then the Averaging Reference Date corresponding to such original date will be deemed not to be a relevant Averaging Reference Date for the purposes of determining the Share Price of each Basket Share at the Valuation Time, provided that, if through the operation of this provision there would not be an Averaging Reference Date, then paragraph 10.2(iii) of these Share Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the relevant Share Price at the Valuation Time on the final Averaging Reference Date, as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date on which a Disrupted Day had occurred for the relevant Basket Share;

(ii)

“Postponement”, then paragraph 10.2 of these Share Linked Conditions will apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of determining the Share Price at the Valuation Time on that Averaging Reference Date as if such original date were a Reference Date that was not a Common Scheduled Trading Day and/or was a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Shares, irrespective of whether, pursuant to such determination, that deferred Averaging Reference Date would fall on a day that already is or is deemed to be an Averaging Reference Date; or

(iii)

“Modified Postponement”, then the Averaging Reference Date for each Basket Share shall be the first succeeding Basket Valid Date in relation to such Basket Shares. If the first succeeding Basket Valid Date in relation to such Basket Shares has not occurred as of the Valuation Time on the date which falls the number of consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Days equal in number to the Maximum Days of Disruption immediately following the original date that, but for the occurrence of another Averaging Reference Date or Disrupted Day, would have been the final Averaging Reference Date, then (a) that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Averaging Reference Date (irrespective of whether that last consecutive Common Scheduled Trading Day is already an Averaging Reference Date) for all Basket Shares, and (b) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Share Price of each Basket Share at the Valuation Time for that Averaging Reference Date in accordance with paragraph 10.2(ii) and (iii) of these Share Linked Conditions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis as if such Averaging Reference Date were a Reference Date.

10.4	In relation to Basket Shares to which “Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” applies:

(i)

for each Reference Date for a Basket Share (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Reference Date is not a Common Scheduled Trading Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day. If such first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Shares, then the Share Price of each Basket Share shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 1.1(ii) or paragraph 10.2 of these Share Linked Conditions as specified in the applicable Final Terms; and

(ii)

for each Averaging Reference Date for a Basket Share (unless otherwise, and to the extent, specified in the applicable Final Terms), if the original date that would have been such Averaging Reference Date is not a Common Scheduled Trading Day (as determined by the Calculation Agent), such Averaging Reference Date shall be the first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day. If such first succeeding Common Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day for one or more Basket Share, then the Share Price of each Basket Share shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 1.2 or paragraph 10.3 of these Share Linked Conditions as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

Schedule 6-2-31

10.5	The following terms and expressions shall have the following meanings in relation to any Notes to which these Share Linked Conditions apply and to which “Basket Valuation (Common Disrupted Day Roll)” and/or “Basket Valuation (Common Scheduled Trading Day Roll)” shall apply:

In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, and the Inflation Linked Conditions, the Inflation Linked Conditions shall prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between (i) the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and/or the Inflation Linked Conditions and (ii) the Final Terms, the Final Terms shall prevail.

1.	Delay of Publication

1.1

If any level of the Index for a Reference Month which is relevant for any calculation of any value or payment of any amount under the Notes (a “Relevant Level”) has not been published or announced by the Inflation Cut-Off Date in respect of any payment date under the Notes, the Calculation Agent shall determine a substitute Index level (“Substitute Index Level”) in place of such Relevant Level by using the following methodology:

(a)

if applicable, the Calculation Agent will take the same action to determine the Substitute Index Level for the Affected Payment Date as that taken by the calculation agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Related Bond;

(b)

if (a) does not result in a Substitute Index Level for the Affected Payment Date for any reason, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Substitute Index Level as follows:

Substitute Index Level = Base Level x (Latest Level/Reference Level)

Where:

“Base Level” means the level of the Index (excluding any “flash” estimates) published or announced by the Index Sponsor in respect of the month which is 12 calendar months prior to the month for which the Substitute Index Level is being determined.

“Latest Level” means the latest level of the Index (excluding any “flash” estimates) published or announced by the Index Sponsor prior to the month in respect of which the Substitute Index Level is being calculated.

“Reference Level” means the level of the Index (excluding any “flash” estimates) published or announced by the Index Sponsor in respect of the month that is 12 calendar months prior to the month referred to in “Latest Level” above.

1.2

If a Relevant Level is published or announced at any time after the Inflation Cut-Off Date in respect of any payment date under the Notes, such Relevant Level will not be used in any calculations. The Substitute Index Level so determined pursuant to paragraph 1.1 above will be the definitive level of the Index for that Reference Month.

2.	Cessation of Publication

If a level for the Index has not been published or announced for two consecutive months or the Index Sponsor announces that it will no longer continue to publish or announce the Index, then the Calculation Agent shall determine a successor to a Successor Index (in lieu of any previously applicable Index) with respect to the Notes by using the following methodology:

Schedule 6-2-34

(i)

If at any time (other than after an Additional Termination Event has been designated by the Calculation Agent pursuant to paragraph 2(v) below) a successor index has been designated by the calculation agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Related Bond (if applicable), such successor index shall be designated a “Successor Index” for the purposes of all subsequent payment dates in relation to the Notes, notwithstanding that any other Successor Index may previously have been determined under paragraphs 2(ii), (iii), or (iv) below.

(ii)

If a Successor Index has not been determined under paragraph 2(i) above (and there has been no designation of an Additional Termination Event pursuant to paragraph 2(v) below), and a notice has been given or an announcement has been made by an Index Sponsor, specifying that the Index will be superseded by a replacement index specified by the Index Sponsor, and the Calculation Agent determines that such replacement index is calculated using the same or substantially similar formula or method of calculation as used in the calculation of the previously applicable Index, then such replacement index shall be the Index from the date that such replacement Index comes into effect.

(iii)

If a Successor Index has not been determined under paragraphs 2(i) or (ii) above (and there has been no designation of an Additional Termination Event pursuant to paragraph 2(v) below), the Calculation Agent shall ask five leading independent dealers to state what the replacement index for the Index should be. If between four and five responses are received, and of those four or five responses, three or more leading independent dealers state the same index, that index will be deemed the “Successor Index”. If three responses are received, and two or more leading independent dealers state the same index, that index will be deemed the “Successor Index” in respect of the Notes from the date such index is deemed the “Successor Index”. If fewer than three responses are received, the “Successor Index” will be determined under paragraph 2(iv) below.

(iv)

If a Successor Index has not been determined under paragraphs 2(i), (ii), or (iii) above, by the Inflation Cut-Off Date falling before the next payment date to occur under the Notes, the Calculation Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine an appropriate alternative index for such Affected Payment Date, and such index will be deemed a “Successor Index”.

(v)

If the Calculation Agent determines that there is no appropriate alternative index, an “Additional Termination Event” shall be deemed to occur.

3.	Rebasing of the Index

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index has been or will be rebased at any time, the Index as so rebased (the “Rebased Index”) will be used for purposes of determining the level of the Index from the date of such rebasing; provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments as are made by the calculation agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Related Bond, if any, to the levels of the Rebased Index so that the Rebased Index levels reflect the same rate of inflation as the Index before it was rebased. If there is no Related Bond, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the levels of the Rebased Index so that the Rebased Index levels reflect the same rate of inflation as the Index before it was rebased. Any such rebasing shall not affect any prior payments made under the Notes.

4.	Material Modification prior to Payment Date

If, on or prior to the Inflation Cut-Off Date in respect of any payment date under the Notes, the Index Sponsor for the Index announces that it will make a material change to the Index, then the Calculation Agent shall make any such adjustments to the Index consistent with the adjustments made to

Schedule 6-2-35

the Related Bond, or, if there is no Related Bond, only those adjustments necessary for the modified Index to continue as the Index.

5.	Manifest Error in Publication

If (i) within 30 days of publication, or (ii) if an earlier and if a Correction Cut-off Date is specified in the applicable Final Terms to be applicable to the relevant payment date under the Notes, on or before such Correction Cut-off Date, the Calculation Agent determines that the Index Sponsor has corrected the level of the Index to remedy a manifest error in its original publication, the Calculation Agent will determine the amount that is payable as a result of that correction and, to the extent necessary, will adjust any relevant terms of the Notes to account for any such correction.

6.	Additional Termination Event

(i)	If an Additional Termination Event occurs, the Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may:

(A)

require the Calculation Agent to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to any of the terms of these Conditions and/or the applicable Final Terms to account for the Additional Termination Event and determine the effective date of that adjustment; or

(B)

redeem the Notes by giving notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be. If the Notes are so redeemed, the Issuer will pay to each Noteholder, in respect of each Note held by such Noteholder, an amount equal to the Early Redemption Amount of such Note. Payments will be made in such manner as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be.

(ii)

Upon the occurrence of an applicable Additional Termination Event, the Issuer shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14, as the case may be stating the occurrence of the Additional Termination Event, giving details thereof and the action proposed to be taken in relation thereto.

If the Index relates to the level of inflation across the European Monetary Union, the Calculation Agent will select an inflation-linked bond that is a debt obligation of one of the governments (but not any government agency) of France, Italy, Germany, or Spain and which pays a coupon or redemption amount which is calculated by reference to the level of inflation in the European Monetary Union. In each case, the Calculation Agent will select the Fallback Bond from those inflation-linked bonds issued on or before the Issue Date and, if there is more than one inflation-linked bond maturing on the same date, the Fallback

Schedule 6-2-36

Bond shall be selected by the Calculation Agent from those bonds. If the Fallback Bond is redeemed, the Calculation Agent will select a new Fallback Bond on the same basis, but selected from all eligible bonds in issue at the time the original Fallback Bond redeems (including any bond for which the redeemed bond is exchanged).

In the event of any inconsistency between (i) the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and/or the Commodity Linked Conditions and (ii) the Final Terms, the Final Terms shall prevail.

1.	Consequences of Market Disruption Events

If the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred or exists on a day that is a Pricing Date (or, if different, the day on which prices for that Pricing Date would, in the ordinary course, be published or announced by the Price Source), the Relevant Price for that Pricing Date will be determined in accordance with the first Disruption Fallback (applied in accordance with its terms) specified as being applicable in the applicable Final Terms. The applicable Final Terms may provide that one or more Disruption Fallbacks may apply to any Pricing Date, and that such applicable Disruption Fallbacks may apply concurrently or sequentially, in such manner as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

2.	Market Disruption Events

“Market Disruption Event” means, in respect of a relevant Commodity, an event that, if provided by the applicable Final Terms to be applicable to the Notes, or if otherwise deemed to be applicable pursuant to this paragraph 2, would give rise, in accordance with an applicable Disruption Fallback, to an alternative basis for determining the Relevant Price in respect of a specified Commodity Reference Price were the event to occur or exist on a day that is a Pricing Date (or, if different, the day on which prices for that Pricing Date would, in the ordinary course, be published or announced by the Price Source).

The following events, if specified in the applicable Final Terms to be applicable, shall be Market Disruption Events:

(a)

“Price Source Disruption” means (A) the failure of the Price Source to announce or publish the Specified Price (or the information necessary for determining the Specified Price) for the relevant Commodity Reference Price; (B) the temporary or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the Price Source; (C) if the Commodity Reference Price is “Commodity-Reference Dealers”, the failure to obtain at least three quotations as requested from the relevant Reference Dealers; or (D) if a Price Materiality Percentage is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the Specified Price for the relevant Commodity Reference Price differs from the Specified Price determined in accordance with the Commodity Reference Price “Commodity — Reference Dealers” by such Price Materiality Percentage.

(b)

“Trading Disruption” means the material suspension of, or the material limitation imposed on, trading in the Futures Contract or the Commodity on the Exchange, or in any additional futures contract, options contract, or commodity on any Exchange as specified in the applicable Final Terms or as determined by the Calculation Agent.

all trading in the Futures Contract or the Commodity is suspended for the entire Pricing Date; or

(2)

all trading in the Futures Contract or the Commodity is suspended subsequent to the opening of trading on the Pricing Date, trading does not recommence prior to the regularly scheduled close of trading in such Futures Contract, or such Commodity on such Pricing Date and such suspension is announced less than one hour preceding its commencement; and

(ii)

a limitation of trading in the Futures Contract or the Commodity on any Commodity Business Day shall be deemed to be material only if the Exchange establishes limits on the range within which the price of the Futures Contract or the Commodity may fluctuate and the closing or settlement price of the Futures Contract or the Commodity on such day is at the upper or lower limit of that range.

(c)

“Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price” means (A) the permanent discontinuation of trading in the relevant Futures Contract on the relevant Exchange; (B) the disappearance of, or of trading in, the relevant Commodity; or (C) the disappearance or permanent discontinuation or unavailability of the Commodity Reference Price, notwithstanding the availability of the Price Source or the status of trading in the relevant Futures Contracts or the relevant Commodity.

5.	Successor Entity Calculates and Reports a Price

If in respect of any relevant Pricing Date, either a Commodity Reference Price is (i) not calculated and announced by the Exchange but is calculated and announced by a successor entity acceptable to the

Schedule 6-2-40

Calculation Agent, or (ii) replaced by a successor commodity price calculated using, as determined by the Calculation Agent, the same or a substantially similar formula for and method of calculation as used in the calculation of such Commodity Reference Price, then in each case, such price as so calculated will be deemed to be the Commodity Reference Price.

(a) that on the date thereof Bearer Notes (not being Notes in respect of which a block voting instruction has been issued and is outstanding in respect of the meeting specified in such voting certificate and any adjourned such meeting) bearing specified serial numbers were deposited with such Paying Agent or (to the satisfaction of such Paying Agent) were held to its order or under its control and that no such Bearer Notes will cease to be so deposited or held until the first to occur of:

(1)

the conclusion of the meeting specified in such certificate or, if applicable, any adjourned such meeting; and

(2)

the surrender of the certificate to the Paying Agent who issues the same;

(b) that the bearer thereof is entitled to attend and vote at such meeting and any adjourned such meeting in respect of the Bearer Notes represented by such certificate;

(ii) “block voting instruction” shall mean an English language document issued by a Paying Agent and dated in which:

(a) it is certified that Bearer Notes (not being Notes in respect of which a voting certificate has been issued and is outstanding in respect of the meeting specified in such block voting instruction and any adjourned such meeting) have been deposited with such Paying Agent or (to the satisfaction of such Paying Agent) were held to its order or under its control and that no such Notes will cease to be so deposited or held until the first to occur of:

(1)

the conclusion of the meeting specified in such document or, if applicable, any adjourned such meeting; and

(2)

(b) it is certified that each holder of such Bearer Notes has instructed such Paying Agent that the vote(s) attributable to the Bearer Note or Bearer Notes so deposited or held should be cast in a particular way in relation to the resolution or resolutions to be put to such meeting or any adjourned such meeting and that all such instructions are during the period commencing 48 hours prior to the time for which such meeting or any adjourned such meeting is convened and ending at the conclusion or adjournment thereof neither revocable nor capable of amendment;

(c) the total number and (in the case only of Bearer Definitive Notes) the serial numbers of the Bearer Notes so deposited or held are listed distinguishing with regard to each such resolution between those in respect of which instructions have been so given that the votes attributable thereto should be cast against the resolution; and

Such notice shall include a statement to the effect that Notes may be deposited with Paying Agents for the purpose of obtaining voting certificates or appointing proxies not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting or that, in the case of corporations, they may appoint representatives by resolution of their directors or other governing body. A copy of the notice shall be sent by post to the Issuer (unless the meeting is convened by the Issuer).

5. In case at any time the Issuer or the holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall have requested the Principal Agent to call a meeting of Noteholders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Principal Agent shall not have given the first notice of such meeting within 21 calendar days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Issuer or Noteholders of Notes in the amount above specified may determine the time and the place in either of the locations designated in paragraph 3 hereof for such meeting and may call such meeting by giving notice thereof as provided in paragraph 4 hereof.

6. Any person (who may but need not be a Noteholder) nominated in writing by the Issuer shall be entitled to the chair at every such meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the person nominated shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting the Noteholders present shall choose one of their number to be Chairman. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Noteholders, a

person shall be (i) a Noteholder of one or more Notes, or (ii) a Proxy. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Noteholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Principal Agent and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel.

7. At any such meeting, one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject as provided below) be one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate 67% in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, provided that, at any meeting the business of which includes any of the following matters (each of which shall only be capable of being effected after having been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution) namely:

(i)

modification of the Maturity Date or, as the case may be, redemption month of the Notes or reduction or cancellation of the principal amount payable upon maturity; or

(ii)

reduction or cancellation of the amount payable or modification of the payment date in respect of any interest in respect of the Notes or variation of the method of calculating the Rate of Interest (if applicable) in respect of the Notes; or

(iv)

modification of the currency in which payment under the Notes and/or any Coupons appertaining thereto are to be made; or

(vii)

alteration of this proviso or the proviso to paragraph 8 below;

the quorum shall be one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the holders of Notes will be binding on all holders of Notes whether or not they are present at the meeting, and on all holders of Coupons appertaining to such Notes.

8. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of the Noteholders (as provided in Section 5 hereof), be dissolved. In any other case, the meeting shall be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 calendar days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in paragraph 4 hereof except that such notice need be published only once but must be given not less than five calendar days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Subject to the foregoing, at the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for a lack of a quorum the persons entitled to vote 33% in principal amount of the Notes shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that shall constitute a quorum. At a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid, any resolution and all matters (except as limited by Condition 15) shall be effectively passed and decided if passed or decided by the persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Notes represented and voting at such meeting, provided that such amount shall be not less than 33% in principal amount of the Notes outstanding. Any Noteholder who has executed and delivered an instrument in writing appointing a person as his Proxy shall be deemed to be present for

the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Any resolution effectively passed or decision taken at any meeting of the Noteholders duly held in accordance with this paragraph 8 shall be binding on all Noteholders whether or not present or represented at the meeting and whether or not notation of such decision is made upon the Notes.

9. 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 4 above and such notice shall (except in cases where the proviso to paragraph 6 above shall apply when it shall state the relevant quorum) state that one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being proxies at the adjournment meeting whatever the principal amount of the Notes held or represented by them will form a quorum. Subject as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

10. 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.

11. At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the results of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman or the Issuer or by one or more persons present holding Notes or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two percent in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, 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 favor of or against such resolution.

12. Subject to paragraph 14 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 asking 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Any director or officer of the Issuer and its lawyers and other professional advisers may attend and speak at any meeting. Save as aforesaid, but without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of “outstanding” in sub-clause 1(b) of this Agreement, 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 requisitioning the convening of such a meeting unless he either produces the Note or Notes of which he is the holder or a voting certificate or is a Proxy. Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes held by it for the benefit of any such company and no other person shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Notes held by it for the benefit of any such company. Nothing herein contained shall prevent any of the Proxies named in any block voting instruction from being a director, officer or representative of or otherwise connected with the Issuer.

16. Subject as provided in paragraph 15 hereof at any meeting:

(A) on a show of hands every person who is present in person and produces a Note or voting certificate or is a Proxy shall have one vote; and

(B) on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of:

(i) in the case of a meeting of the holders of Notes all of which are denominated in a single currency, each minimum integral amount of such currency; and

(ii) in the case of a meeting of the holders of Notes denominated in more than one currency, each U.S. $1.00 or, in the case of a Note denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the equivalent of U.S. $l.00 in such currency at the Principal Agent’s spot buying rate for the relevant currency against U.S. Dollars at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of publication of the notice of the relevant meeting (or of the original meeting of which such meeting is an adjournment), or such other amount as the Principal Agent shall in its absolute discretion stipulate in principal amount of Notes so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a Proxy.

Without prejudice to the obligation of the proxies named in any block voting instructions, 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.

17. The proxies named in any block voting instruction need not be Noteholders.

18. Each block voting instruction together (if so requested by the Issuer) with proof satisfactory to the Issuer of its due execution on behalf of the relevant Paying Agent shall be deposited at such place as the Principal Agent 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 propose to vote and in default the block voting instruction shall not be treated as valid unless the Chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting or adjourned meeting proceeds to business. A certified copy of each block voting instruction shall be deposited with the Principal Agent before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, but the Principal Agent 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.

The Delivery Agent may consult with legal and other professional advisers, and the written opinion of such advisers shall be full and complete protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such advisers.

(4)

The Delivery Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered in reliance upon any instruction, request or order from the Issuer or any notice, resolution, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement, cable or other paper or document which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been delivered, signed or sent by the proper party or parties or upon written instructions from the Issuer.

(5)

The Delivery Agent, and any of its officers, directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Notes, Receipts or Coupons (if any) with the same rights that it or he would have if the Delivery Agent were not appointed hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer and any of its Affiliates, and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Notes or Coupons (if any) or in connection with any other obligations of the Issuer and any of its Affiliates as freely as if the Delivery Agent were not appointed hereunder.

(vii)

Termination of Appointment

(1)

The Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Delivery Agent at any time by giving to the Delivery Agent at least 45 calendar days’ prior written notice to that effect, provided that, for so long as any of the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes are outstanding:

such notice shall not expire less than 45 calendar days before any date upon which any payment is due in respect of any Relevant Physical Delivery Notes;

notice shall be given in accordance with Condition 14, as applicable, to the holders of the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes at least 30 calendar days prior to any removal of the Delivery Agent; and

(c)

upon giving notice of the intended termination of the appointment of the Delivery Agent, the Issuer shall use all reasonable efforts to appoint a further financial institution of good standing as successor Delivery Agent.

(2)

Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause (1) above, if at any time:

the Delivery Agent becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator or administrative or other receiver of all or any substantial part of its property, or admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they may mature or suspends payment thereof, or if any order of any court is entered approving any petition filed by or against it under the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if a receiver of it or of all or a substantial part of its property is appointed or if any officer takes charge or control of it or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

the Delivery Agent fails duly to perform any function or duty imposed upon it by the Terms and Conditions and this Agreement,

the Issuer may forthwith, without notice, terminate the appointment of the Delivery Agent, in which event notice thereof shall be given to the holders of the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 14, as soon as practicable thereafter.

(3)

(4)

Following receipt of a notice of resignation from the Delivery Agent, the Issuer promptly shall give notice thereof to the holders of the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes in accordance with Condition 14.

(5)

Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clauses (1), (2) and (4) above, so long as any of the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes are outstanding, the termination of the appointment of the Delivery Agent (whether by the Issuer or by the resignation of the Delivery Agent) shall not be effective unless upon the expiration of the relevant notice, a successor Delivery Agent has been appointed by the Issuer. The Issuer agrees with the Delivery Agent that if, by the day falling 10 calendar days before the expiration of any notice under sub-clause (1) or (4) above, the Issuer has not appointed a replacement Delivery Agent, the Delivery Agent, on behalf of the Issuer, shall be entitled to appoint as a successor Delivery Agent in its place a reputable financial institution of good standing (acting through its principal London office) which the Issuer shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(6)

Upon its appointment becoming effective, a successor Delivery Agent shall, without further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor with like effect as if originally named as the Delivery Agent hereunder.

(7)

If the appointment of the Delivery Agent hereunder is terminated (whether by the Issuer or by the resignation of the Delivery Agent), the Delivery Agent shall, on the day on which such

termination takes effect, deliver to the successor Delivery Agent all records concerning the Relevant Physical Delivery Notes maintained by it (except such documents and records as it is obliged by law or regulation to retain or not to release), but shall have no other duties or responsibilities hereunder.

(8)

Any entity into which the Delivery Agent may be merged or converted, or any entity with which the Delivery Agent may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Delivery Agent shall be a party, or any entity to which the Delivery Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets, on the date when such merger, consolidation or transfer becomes effective and to the extent permitted by any applicable laws, shall become the successor Delivery Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, unless otherwise required by the Issuer, and after the said effective date, all references in this Agreement to the Delivery Agent shall be deemed to be references to such entity. Written notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer forthwith shall be given to the Issuer and the Principal Agent by the Delivery Agent.

(viii)

Schedule 14 to

Agency Agreement

REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION OF NOTES IN REGISTERED FORM

These provisions are applicable separately to each Series of Notes.

1. Each Registered Certificate shall represent an integral number of Registered Notes.

2. Unless otherwise requested by the holder and agreed by the relevant Issuer and save as provided in the Terms and Conditions, each holder of more than one Registered Note shall be entitled to receive only one Registered Certificate in respect of its holding.

3. Unless otherwise requested by the joint holders and agreed by the relevant Issuer and save as provided in the Terms and Conditions, the joint holders of one or more Registered Notes shall be entitled to receive only one Registered Certificate in respect of their joint holding which shall, except where they otherwise direct, be delivered to the joint holder whose name appears first in the register of the holders of Registered Notes in respect of the joint holding. All references to “Noteholder”, “Transferor” and “Transferee” shall include joint holders, transferors and transferees.

4. The executors or administrators of a deceased holder of Registered Notes (not being one of several joint holders) and, in the case of the death of one or more of joint holders, the survivor or survivors of such joint holders shall be the only persons recognised by the relevant Issuer as having any title to such Registered Notes.

5. Any person becoming entitled to Registered Notes in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder of such Registered Notes may, upon producing such evidence that such person holds the position in respect of which that person proposes to act under this paragraph or of his title as the Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall require (including legal opinions), be registered as the holder of such Registered Notes or, subject to the preceding paragraphs as to transfer, may transfer such Registered Notes. The Issuer, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar may retain any amount payable upon the Registered Notes to which any person is so entitled until such person shall be so registered or shall duly transfer the Registered Notes.

6. The Registered Note(s) are transferable by execution of the form of transfer at Schedule 15 of this Agency Agreement (as defined below) under the hand of the Transferor or, where the Transferor is a corporation or other entity, either under its common seal or under the hand of two of its officers duly authorized in writing. In each case, the form of transfer must be duly completed and executed and duly stamped (where applicable) and must be accompanied by the Registered Certificate in respect of such Registered Note and such documents, evidence and information as may be required pursuant to the Terms and Conditions and such other evidence as the Issuer, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require to prove the title of the Transferor or the Transferor’s right to transfer the Registered Note(s) and, if the form of transfer is executed by some other person on the Transferor’s behalf or in the case of the execution of a form of transfer on behalf of a corporation by its officers, the authority of that person or those persons to do so. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding of Registered Notes represented by one Registered Certificate to a person who is already a holder of Registered Notes, the Registrar shall only issue a new Registered Certificate representing the enlarged holding against surrender of the existing Registered Certificate, and a further new Registered Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the Transferor.

7. All transfers of, and exercises of options relating to and deliveries of Registered Certificates representing, Registered Notes shall be made in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

8. Without prejudice to any applicable restrictions on transfer, upon acceptance for transfer of an interest in Notes evidenced by a Registered Global Certificate for individual Registered Definitive Certificates as provided herein, the Registrar shall record the entries in the Register in respect of the Registered Notes accordingly.

All capitalized terms used in this Schedule 14 shall have the meanings given to them in the Agency Agreement.
