to the time all amounts of principal and interest have been placed at the disposal of the Principal
Paying Agent, not to create or permit to subsist, and to procure that none of its Subsidiaries will

right a “Security”) over the whole or any part of its undertakings, assets or revenues, present or fu-
ture, to secure any Capital Market Indebtedness (as defined below) or to secure any guarantee or
indemnity given by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries in respect of any Capital Market Indebted-
ness of any other person, without, at the same time or prior thereto, securing all amounts payable
under the Notes either with equal and rateable Security or providing all amounts payable under the
Notes such other Security as shall be approved by an independent accounting firm of internation-
ally recognized standing as being equivalent security, provided, however, that this undertaking
shall not apply with respect to
(i) any Security which is provided for by law or which has been required as a condition prece-
dent for public permissions;
(ii) any Security existing on assets at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Issuer, provided
that such Security was not created in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisi-
tion and that the amount secured by such Security is not increased subsequently to the ac-
quisition of the relevant assets;
(iii) any Security which is provided by any subsidiary of the Issuer with respect to any receiv-
ables of such subsidiary against the Issuer which receivables exist as a result of the transfer
of the proceeds from the sale by the subsidiary of any Capital Market Indebtedness, pro-
vided that any such security serves to secure obligations under such Capital Market Indebt-
edness of the relevant subsidiary.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, "Capital Market Indebtedness" shall mean any
present or future obligation for the repayment of borrowed monies which is in the form of, or rep-

ranking pari passu with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor,

tee directly from the Guarantor and to enforce the Guarantee directly against the Guarantor.
Copies of the Guarantee are available free of charge at the Issuer.
