5.                                     PAYMENT

Subject always to the Indenture and, in particular, any restrictions on the Issuer, or the Guarantor, as applicable, following delivery of a notice of an Event of Default:

(a)                                The Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall, not later than 10:00 am (London time) on the Business Day prior to which any payment in respect of the Notes becomes due, pay to such account of the Paying Agent as the Paying Agent shall specify in Euros in immediately available funds on each due date for the payment of principal and/or interest and/or other amounts referred to in Section 1001 of the Base Indenture and Section 302 and Section 303 of the Supplemental Indenture in respect of the Notes, an amount sufficient (together with any funds then held by the Paying Agent and available for the purpose) to pay all principal and interest and/or other amounts referred to in Section 1001 of the Base Indenture and Section 302 and Section 303 of the Supplemental Indenture due in respect of the Notes on such date; provided that if any such date is not a Business Day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding date which is a Business Day. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” shall have the meaning as set forth in the Notes.

(b)                                The Issuer hereby authorises and directs the Paying Agent from funds so paid to the Paying Agent to make payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Indenture and the provisions of this Agreement. If any payment provided for in clause 5(a) is after the date specified therein but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Notes as aforesaid following receipt by the Paying Agent of such payment.

(c)                                 If the Paying Agent has not, on the date on which any payment is due to be made to the Paying Agent pursuant to clause 5(a), received the full amount payable in respect thereof on such date but receives such full amount later, together with accrued interest (if any) in accordance with the Indenture, it shall forthwith so notify the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee. Unless and until the full amount of any such principal or interest payment has been made to it, the Paying Agent shall not be bound to make such payments.

(d)                                Without prejudice to clause 5(b), if the Paying Agent pays out on or after the due date therefor (other than as a result of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct) to persons entitled thereto, or becomes liable to pay out, any amounts on the assumption (which is not negated by reasonable evidence to the contrary) that the corresponding payment by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, has been or shall be made, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall on demand reimburse the Paying Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Paying Agent on such amount from (and including) the date on which it is paid out to (but excluding) the date of reimbursement at the rate per annum equal to the cost to the Paying Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(e)                                 Payment of only part of the amount payable in respect of a Note may only be made at the discretion of the relevant Noteholder(s) (except as the result of a withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes permitted by the Indenture).

6.                                     REPAYMENT

Any sums paid by, or by arrangement with the Issuer, to the Paying Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to be repaid to the Issuer or the Guarantor unless and until the Notes in respect of which such sums were paid shall have been purchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and cancelled, but in any of these events the Paying Agent shall (provided that all other amounts due under this Agreement shall have been duly paid) upon written request by the Issuer forthwith repay to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, sums equivalent to the amounts which would otherwise have been payable on the relevant Notes together with any fees previously paid to the Paying Agent in respect of such Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to make any repayment to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, so long as any amounts which under this Agreement should have been paid to or to the order of the Paying Agent by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall remain unpaid.

(d)                                except where such requirement arises as a result of prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirement in respect of its Notes, the Paying Agent shall give notice thereof to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to withhold or deduct.

8.                                     RECORDS

The Paying Agent shall:

(a)                                keep a full and complete record of all payments made by it in respect of the Notes; and
