Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary would require to receive instructions from a Noteholder in order for that Noteholder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the relevant Consent Solicitation(s) before the deadlines specified above. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission of Electronic Voting Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.

Until the relevant Extraordinary Resolution is passed and the Eligibility Condition has been satisfied, no assurance can be given that the Proposal in respect of the relevant Series will take effect. If a quorum is not achieved at the initial Meeting or the quorum is achieved and the Extraordinary Resolution is passed but the Eligibility Condition is not satisfied, the initial Meeting shall be adjourned for not less than 13 clear days nor more than 42 clear days and the adjourned Meeting of Noteholders will be held at such time as will be notified to the Noteholders in the notice of adjourned Meeting.

Extraordinary Resolutions are independent

The Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of each Series are independent and not inter-conditional, and the Issuer will implement changes to one or more Series and not to others in the event that the Extraordinary Resolutions are passed and the Eligibility Condition satisfied in respect of some Series and not the others.
