The Loan is granted, pursuant to a loan agreement dated 23 March 2011 (the “Original Loan Agreement”) between the Issuer, as lender, and the Borrower as amended and restated on 20 June 2011 by virtue of an amended and restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between the same parties. Interest on the Further Notes will be payable at the rate of 7.487 percent per annum semi-annually in arrear on 25 March and 25 September in each year, commencing on 25 September 2011, as described under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes—5 Interest”. The issue price of the Further Notes is 101.75 percent of their principal amount (plus accrued interest from, and including, 25 March 2011, to, but excluding, 22 June 2011 (the “Accrued Interest”)). For the avoidance of doubt, provided the Accrued Interest has actually been received by or for the account of the Issuer on or before the issue date of the Further Notes and paid into the Account (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed (as defined herein), holders of the Further Notes will receive, on the first Interest Payment Date an amount representing accrued interest on the Further Notes in respect of the period from and including 25 March 2011 to (but excluding) 25 September 2011. The Loan will bear interest of 7.487 percent per annum. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed (as defined herein), the Issuer has charged (in respect of the Original Notes) or will charge (in respect of the Further Notes) as security for its payment obligations in respect of the Notes and under the Trust Deed (i) its rights to all payments of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement; (ii) its rights to receive all sums which may be or become payable by the Borrower under any claim, award or judgment relating to the Loan Agreement; and (iii) its rights, title and interest in and to all sums of money held from time to time in an account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement, in each case to Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the “Trustee”), as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”). Furthermore, under the terms of the Trust Deed, the Issuer (i) has assigned (in respect of the Original Notes) or will assign (in respect of the Further Notes) all of its rights, interests and benefits under the Loan Agreement, except for any Reserved Rights (as defined in the Trust Deed) and rights subject to the charge, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. In each case, where amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are stated to be payable in respect of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer to make such payment will constitute an obligation only to account to the Noteholders, on each date upon which such amounts of principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) are due in respect of the Notes, for an amount equivalent to all principal, interest and additional amounts (if any) actually received and retained (net of tax) by or for the account of the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement, excluding amounts paid in respect of Reserved Rights. The Issuer will have no other financial obligation under the Notes. Further Noteholders will be deemed to have accepted and agreed that they will be relying solely and exclusively on the credit and financial standing of the Company in respect of the financial servicing of the Further Notes. Except as set forth herein under “Taxation”, payments in respect of the Notes (and the Loan) will be made without any deduction or withholding on account of taxes. As set forth more fully in the Loan Agreement, the Company may prepay the Loan at its principal amount, in whole but not in part, together with accrued interest, if (i) the Company or the Issuer must deduct or withhold certain taxes from payments they make in respect of the Loan or the Notes, respectively; or (ii) it becomes illegal for the Notes or the Loan to remain outstanding. Upon such occurrence, the Issuer will, subject to the receipt of the relevant funds from the Company, prepay the principal amount of all Notes outstanding, together with accrued interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Prospectus and in the Trust Deed, no proprietary or other direct interest in the Issuer’s rights under or in respect of the Loan Agreement, or in any rights that the Issuer may receive by way of assignment in respect of the Loan, exists for the benefit of the Noteholders. Subject to the terms of the Trust Deed, no Noteholder will be entitled to enforce any provisions of the Loan Agreement or have direct recourse to the Borrower. AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE “RISK FACTORS” ON PAGE 11.
