CURRENCY INDEMNITY If any sum due from the Issuer to the Note Trustee or the relevant Noteholders under this Deed or the relevant Notes or any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto has to be converted from the currency (the "FIRST CURRENCY") in which the same is payable into another currency (the "SECOND CURRENCY") for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Issuer, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Deed or the relevant Notes then the Issuer shall indemnify the Note Trustee and the Noteholders and keep them indemnified against any loss or damage, costs or expenses incurred by any of them arising as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Note Trustee and the Noteholders, as the case may be, may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of the sum paid to it or them, as the case may be, in satisfaction, in whole or in part of any such obligation, order, judgment, claim or proof. The above indemnities shall constitute obligations of the Issuer separate and independent from its obligations under the Notes and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence - 38 - granted by the Note Trustee or the Noteholders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the judgment or filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Issuer for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under this Deed (other than this Clause) or the Notes. Any such discrepancy as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Note Trustee and the Noteholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer or its liquidator. 19. ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION; NEW NOTE TRUSTEE; SEPARATE AND CO-NOTE TRUSTEES; NOTE TRUSTEE INFORMATION 19.1 ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION This Deed shall always have a Note Trustee which shall be eligible to act as Note Trustee under TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2). The Note Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If the Note Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of TIA Section 310(b), the Note Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any deed or deeds under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. If at any time the Note Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 19.1, the Note Trustee shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect specified in Clause 20. 19.2 APPOINTMENT OF NEW NOTE TRUSTEE The power to appoint a new trustee of this Deed shall be vested in the Issuer but no person shall be appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders. One or more persons may hold office as trustee or trustees of this Deed but such trustee or trustees shall be or include a Trust Corporation. Whenever there shall be more than two trustees of this Deed the majority of such trustees shall be competent to execute and exercise all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested in the Note Trustee by this Deed, provided that a Trust Corporation shall be included in such majority. 19.3 CO-TRUSTEE Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 20, the Note Trustee may (after prior consultation by the Note Trustee with the Issuer and after consideration in good faith by the Note Trustee of any representations made by the Issuer concerning the proposed appointee except where, in the opinion of the Note Trustee, such consultation and consideration was not practicable), upon giving prior notice to the Issuer (but without the consent of the Issuer or the Noteholders), appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a Trust Corporation or not) to act either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Note Trustee (i) if the Note Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in - 39 - which any particular act or acts is or are to be performed or (iii) for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of this Deed against the Issuer. The Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Note Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any such instrument of appointment. Such a person shall (subject always to the provisions of this Deed) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Note Trustee by this Deed) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Note Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration as the Note Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee shall for the purposes of this Deed be treated as costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Note Trustee. 19.4 Any appointment of a new trustee and/or any retirement or removal of an existing trustee of this Deed shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the Issuer to the Registrar and the Noteholders and to the Rating Agencies. 19.5 The Note Trustee shall provide to the Issuer upon request copies of its annual financial statements. 20.

The Issuer undertakes that in the event of the only trustee hereof which is a Trust Corporation giving notice under this Clause or being removed by Extraordinary Resolution it will use all reasonable endeavours to procure a new trustee of this Deed being a Trust Corporation to be appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The retirement or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed, provided that if the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor within 60 days of the Note Trustee giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Note Trustee, having regard to the provisions of Clause 20 may appoint a successor. 20.2 Upon any resignation or removal taking effect under Clause 20.1 above, the Note Trustee shall forthwith transfer the Series 05-4 MTN held by it to its successor and, upon appropriate notice, provide reasonable assistance to its successor for the discharge of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. 21.

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. 12.

A notarially certified copy of each block voting instruction shall, unless the Note Trustee otherwise agrees, be deposited with the Note Trustee before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Note Trustee shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the authority of the Proxies named in any such block voting instruction. 17. Any vote cast in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the block voting instruction or of any of the Noteholder's instructions pursuant to which it was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such revocation or amendment shall have been received from the Registrar by the Issuer at its registered office (or such other place as may have been approved by the Note Trustee for the purpose) by the time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction is to be used. 18.
