0012034-0005142 UKO2: 2001888033.6

14

material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Base Listing Particulars to comply with, or reflect changes in, the laws or regulations of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall update or amend the Base Listing Particulars (following consultation with the Dealers and the relevant Dealer (if any)) by the publication of a supplement to it or new Base Listing Particulars, in each case in a form approved by the Dealers other than where a supplement has been prepared in accordance with subclause (c) below provided that the Issuer and the Guarantor undertakes that in the period from and including an Agreement Date to and including the related Issue Date of the new Notes, it will only prepare and publish a supplement to, or replacement of, the Base Listing Particulars if it is required, or has reasonable grounds to believe that it is required, to do so in order to comply with the Listing Rules and, in such circumstances, only to the extent that the Listing Rules applies to such new Notes, such supplement to, or replacement of, the Base Listing Particulars shall, solely as between the Issuer and the Guarantor and the relevant Dealer and solely for the purposes of such Listing Rules and clause 3.2(a), be deemed to have been prepared and published so as to comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

6.1

Without prejudice to the other rights or remedies of the Dealers, each of the Issuer and the Guarantor jointly and severally undertakes to each Dealer that if that Dealer or any Relevant Party relating to that Dealer incurs any liability, damages, cost, loss or expense (including, without limitation, properly incurred legal fees, costs and expenses) (a Loss) arising out of, in connection with, or based on:

(a)

any failure by the Issuer to issue on the agreed Issue Date any Notes which a Dealer has agreed to purchase; or

(b)

any actual or alleged breach of the representations, warranties and undertakings contained in, or made or deemed to be made by the Issuer and/or the Guarantor under, this Agreement; or

(a)

the use of the legal advisers chosen by the Issuer or the Guarantor to represent the Relevant Party would present such legal advisers with a conflict of interest;

(b)

the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Relevant Party and the Issuer or the Guarantor and the Relevant Party concludes that there may be legal defences available to it and/or other Relevant Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer or the Guarantor;

(c)

the Issuer or the Guarantor has not employed legal advisers satisfactory to the Relevant Party to represent the Relevant Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or
