(g)

to authorise the Fiscal Agent or any other person to execute all documents and do all things necessary to give effect to any Extraordinary Resolution;

(h)

to give any other authorisation or approval which is required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution; and

SCHEDULE 7

REGULATIONS CONCERNING TRANSFERS AND REGISTRATION OF REGISTERED NOTES

Subject to paragraph 4 and paragraph 11 below, Registered Notes may be transferred by execution of the relevant form of transfer under the hand of the transferor or, where the transferor is a corporation, under its common seal or under the hand of two of its officers duly authorised in writing. Where the form of transfer is executed by an attorney or, in the case of a corporation, under seal or under the hand of two of its officers duly authorised in writing, a copy of the relevant power of attorney certified by a financial institution in good standing or a notary public or in such other manner as the Registrar may require or, as the case may be, copies certified in the manner aforesaid of the documents authorising such officers to sign and witness the affixing of the seal must be delivered with the form of transfer. In this Schedule, “transferor” shall, where the context permits or requires, include joint transferors and shall be construed accordingly.

The Note Certificate issued in respect of the Registered Notes to be transferred must be surrendered for registration, together with the form of transfer (including any certification as to compliance with restrictions on transfer included in such form of transfer) endorsed thereon, duly completed and executed, at the Specified Office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, and together with such evidence as the Registrar or (as the case may be) the relevant Transfer Agent may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the persons who have executed the form of transfer. The signature of the person effecting a transfer of a Registered Note shall conform to any list of duly authorised specimen signatures supplied by the Holder of such Note or be certified by a financial institution in good standing, notary public or in such other manner as the Registrar or such Transfer Agent may require.

3.	No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered during the period of 15 calendar days ending on the due date for any payment of principal or interest in respect of such Note.

4.	No Noteholder which has executed a Form of Proxy in relation to a Meeting of Holders of Registered Notes may require the transfer of a Note covered by such Form of Proxy to be registered until the earlier of the conclusion of the Meeting and its adjournment for want of a quorum.

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

Any person becoming entitled to any Registered Notes in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder of such Registered Notes may, upon producing such evidence that he holds the position in respect of which he proposes to act under this paragraph or of his title as the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may require (including legal opinions), become registered himself as the Holder of such Notes or, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, the Notes and the Conditions as to transfer, may transfer such Registered Notes. The Issuer, the Guarantor, the Transfer

- 61 -

Agents, the Registrar and the Paying Agents shall be at liberty to retain any amount payable upon the Registered Notes to which any person is so entitled until such person is so registered or duly transfers such Notes.

7.	Unless otherwise required by him and agreed by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Registrar, the Holder of any Notes shall be entitled to receive only one Note Certificate in respect of his holding.

8.	The joint Holders of any Registered Note shall be entitled to one Note Certificate only 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 in respect of the joint holding.

9.	Where there is more than one transferee (to hold other than as joint Holders), separate forms of transfer (obtainable from the Specified Office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent) must be completed in respect of each new holding.

10.

A Holder of Registered Notes may transfer all or part only of his holding of Notes provided that both the principal amount of Notes transferred and the principal amount of the balance not transferred are a Specified Denomination. Where a Holder of Registered Notes has transferred part only of his holding of Registered Notes, a new Note Certificate in respect of the balance of such holding will be delivered to him.

11.

The Issuer, the Guarantor, the Transfer Agents and the Registrar shall, save in the case of the issue of replacement Registered Notes pursuant to Condition 16 (Replacement of Note Certificates), make no charge to the Holders for the registration of any holding of Registered Notes or any transfer thereof or for the issue of any Registered Notes or for the delivery thereof at the Specified Office of any Transfer Agent or the Registrar or by uninsured post to the address specified by the Holder, but such registration, transfer, issue or delivery shall be effected against such indemnity from the Holder or the transferee thereof as the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such registration, transfer, issue or delivery.

12.

Provided a transfer of a Registered Note is duly made in accordance with all applicable requirements and restrictions upon transfer and the Note(s) transferred are presented to a Transfer Agent and/or the Registrar in accordance with the Agency Agreement and these Regulations, and subject to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of such Transfer Agent or the Registrar arising, such Transfer Agent or the Registrar will, within five business days of the request for transfer being duly made, deliver at its Specified Office to the transferee or despatch by uninsured post (at the request and risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee entitled to the Registered Notes in relation to which such Note Certificate is issued may have specified, a Note Certificate in respect of which entries have been made in the Register, all formalities complied with and the name of the transferee completed on the Note Certificate by or on behalf of the Registrar; and, for the purposes of this paragraph, “business day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign currencies) in the cities in which the Registrar and (if applicable) the relevant Transfer Agent have their respective Specified Offices.
