EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION

IN RESPECT OF THE U.S.$500,000,000 TRUST CERTIFICATES DUE 2025

"THAT this Meeting of the holders (together, the Certificateholders) of the presently outstanding U.S.$500,000,000 Trust Certificates due 2025 (the Certificates) of GFH Sukuk Company Limited (the Issuer), issued with the benefit of a trust deed dated 28 January 2020 as supplemented on 8 June 2020 made between GFH Financial Group B.S.C. (GFH and the Obligor), the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., London Branch (the Delegate) (the Trust Deed):

 

1. sanction, approve and assent to the following modification of the Terms and Conditions of the Certificate (the Conditions):

 

 

Proposed Modifications and Rationale

I

Summary of current provision of the Conditions

Condition 6(b)(iii)(b) (Obligor Covenants - Limitation on Restricted Payments) (the Buy- Back Covenant) currently provides that for as long as any Certificate is outstanding, the Obligor shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly,

 

voluntarily purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (i) more than 5% of the Capital Stock of the Obligor; or (ii) other than in the ordinary course of its investment business, the Capital Stock of any of its Affiliates.

 

Summary of proposed modification of the Conditions

To delete the Buy-Back Covenant. A new maintenance covenant shall be added as Condition 6(b)(xi) (Obligor Covenants - Treasury Shares) such that the Obligor shall covenant that for as long as any Certificate is outstanding, it shall not at any time hold more than 10% of the Capital Stock of the Obligor.

 

Rationale for modification

The rationale for this proposed deletion of the Buy-Back Covenant is to align the Obligor Covenants with the requirement under Bahraini listing rules that provides that the Obligor may not, at any time, hold more than 10% of its own shares.

 

This proposed deletion of the Buy-Back Covenant will also give the Obligor more flexibility to undertake share buy-back transactions related to, amongst other things, as part of employee incentive and retention schemes through which the Obligor acquires its shares and transfers them to a trust on behalf of its employees, to allow the Obligor to use its shares as full or partial consideration for the acquisition of an asset or other shares, and to provide market making and liquidity provision services for its shares.

 

The new Condition 6(b)(xi) (Obligor Covenants - Treasury Shares) is to be included to reflect Bahraini listing rule requirements.

II

Summary of current provision of the Conditions

Condition 6(b)(vii) (Obligor Covenants - Negative Pledge) (the Negative Pledge Covenant) currently provides that the Obligor covenants that for so long as any Certificate is outstanding it shall not, and shall procure that none of its Subsidiaries will, create or  permit to subsist any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Security Interest) over any of its or their assets to secure any Financial Indebtedness unless at the same time or prior thereto, the Obligor's obligations under the Transaction Documents are secured equally and rateably therewith or have the benefit of such other arrangement as may be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of Certificateholders, or as Delegate in its discretion shall deem to be not materially less beneficial to the interests of Certificateholders.

 

Summary of proposed modification of the Conditions

To amend the Negative Pledge Covenant so that the restriction on securing any Financial Indebtedness is amended to instead restrict securing any Relevant Indebtedness and Relevant Sukuk Obligations, defined as: "any present or future Indebtedness, which is in the form of, or which is represented or evidenced by, bonds, notes, debentures, debenture stock, loan stock or other securities, which for the time being are, or are intended to be, or are capable of being, quoted, listed or dealt in or traded on any stock exchange or over-the- counter or other securities market" and "any Sukuk Obligation in respect of which the relevant trust certificates or other securities are, or are intended to be, or are capable of being, quoted, listed or dealt in or traded on any stock exchange or over-the-counter or other securities market", respectively.

 

Rationale for modification

The rationale for this proposed modification is to align the Negative Pledge Covenant with the form of negative pledge covenant more commonly used in capital markets transactions and to give the Obligor greater flexibility to secure indebtedness for the purposes of undertaking its business activities noting that, pursuant to the Conditions, the Obligor is already subject to a restriction on the incurrence of financial indebtedness.

III

Summary of other consequential modifications of the Conditions

To make other consequential modifications of the Conditions, including:

A. amending the definition of "Permitted Security Interest" to limit this to any Security Interest:

 

(a) existing on 28 January 2020;

(b) existing on any property or assets prior to the acquisition thereof by the Obligor or a Subsidiary (as the case may be), provided that such Security Interest was not created in contemplation of such acquisition;

(c) created or outstanding with the approval of Certificateholders by any Extraordinary Resolution;

(d) securing the Relevant Indebtedness or Relevant Sukuk Obligation of any person and/or its Subsidiaries existing at the time that such person is merged into or consolidated with the Obligor or a Subsidiary provided that such Security Interest was not created in contemplation of such merger or consolidation and does not extend to any other assets or property of the Obligor or any Subsidiary; and

(e) comprising any extension, renewal of or substitution for any Security Interest permitted by any of the preceding paragraphs (a) to (d) above; provided that with respect to any such Security Interest the principal amount secured has not increased and the Security Interest shall have not been extended to any additional property (other than proceeds of the property in question); and

B. adding definitions of Relevant Indebtedness, Relevant Sukuk Obligation and Sukuk Obligation.

Rationale for modification

Such modifications of the Conditions are necessary to implement the amendments set out in paragraph II above.

 

in each case as fully set out and (where applicable) defined in the Schedule to the Notice;

INELIGIBLE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

 

Submission of Ineligible Certificateholder Instructions

 

In respect of the Certificates held through Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) or Clearstream Banking, SA (Clearstream, Luxembourg), the submission of Ineligible Certificateholder Instructions will be deemed to have occurred upon receipt by the Tabulation Agent from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, of a valid instruction (an Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction) submitted in accordance with the requirements of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable. Each such Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction must specify, among other things, the aggregate face amount of the

Certificates to which such Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction relates, and that the Ineligible Certificateholder wishes to instruct the Registered Holder to appoint one or more representatives of the Tabulation Agent to attend the Meeting (and any adjourned Meeting) and to vote in favour of or against the Extraordinary Resolution. The receipt of such Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, will be acknowledged in accordance with the standard practices of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, and will result in the blocking of the Certificates in the relevant Ineligible Certificateholder's account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, so that no transfers may be effected in relation to such Certificates until the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Ineligible Certificateholder Instruction is validly revoked, in the limited circumstances in which such revocation is permitted (including their automatic revocation on the termination of the Consent Solicitation); (ii) the conclusion of the Meeting (or, if applicable, the conclusion of any adjourned Meeting); and (iii) the termination of the Consent Solicitation.

Each such voting certificate or proxy appointment should also provide the name, address, telephone number, email address and passport or identification number of the relevant attendee(s).

It is a term of the Consent Solicitation that voting certificates and proxy appointments are irrevocable except in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted, as provided in this Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Certificateholders should note that voting certificates obtained and proxy appointments made in respect of a Meeting shall remain valid for any adjourned Meeting.

 

In light of coronavirus (COVID-19), it is inadvisable to hold the Meeting at a physical location. Accordingly, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed, further regulations regarding the holding of the Meeting have been prescribed to facilitate the Meeting (and any adjourned meeting) being held via teleconference.

Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, the holder (as defined below) of any Certificate shall be deemed to be and may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or an interest in it, any writing on the Registered Certificate representing it or the theft or loss of such Registered Certificate and no person shall be liable for so treating the holder. The holder of a Certificate will be recognised by the Trustee as entitled to its Certificate free from any equity, set-off or counterclaim on the part of the Trustee against the original or any intermediate holder of such Certificate.

In these Conditions, "Certificateholder" or "holder" means the person in whose name a Certificate is registered.

Upon issue, the Certificates will be represented by interests in a global certificate in registered form (the "Global Certificate") which will be deposited with, and registered in the name of a nominee for, a common depositary for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). Ownership interests in the Global Certificate will be shown on, and transfers thereof will only be effected through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (as applicable), and their respective participants. The Conditions are modified by certain provisions contained in the Global Certificate.

Except in certain limited circumstances, owners of interests in the Global Certificate will not be entitled to receive Registered Certificates representing their holdings of Certificates. See "Summary of Provisions relating to the Certificates while in Global Form".

3 Transfers

(a) Transfer of Registered Certificates: A holding of Certificates may, subject to Condition 3(c), be transferred in whole or in part upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent) of the Registered Certificate representing such Certificates to be transferred, together with the form of transfer endorsed on such Registered Certificate (or another form of transfer substantially in the same form and containing the same representations and certifications (if any), unless otherwise agreed by the Trustee), duly completed and executed and any other evidence as the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding of Certificates represented by one Registered Certificate, a new Registered Certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a further new Registered Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor. In the case of a transfer of Certificates to a person who is already a holder of Certificates, a new Registered Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of the Registered Certificate representing the existing holding. All transfers of Certificates and entries on the Register will be made in accordance with the detailed regulations concerning transfers of Certificates scheduled to the Agency Agreement. The regulations may be changed by the Trustee, with the prior written approval of the Registrar and the Delegate, provided that any such change is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Certificateholders or is required to be made to comply with applicable law or regulation. A copy of the current regulations will be made available by the Registrar to any Certificateholder upon request.

(b) Delivery of New Certificates: Each new Registered Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 3(a) shall be available for delivery within five business days of receipt of a duly completed form of transfer and surrender of the existing Registered Certificate. Delivery of the new Registered Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office of the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such form of transfer, and/or Registered Certificate shall have been made or, at the option of the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant form of transfer, or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured post at the risk of the holder entitled to the new Registered Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless such holder requests otherwise and pays in advance to the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may be) the costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may specify. In this Condition 3(b), "business day" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open for business in the place of the specified office of the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may be).

(c) Transfers Free of Charge: Transfers of Registered Certificates on transfer in respect of some but not all of a holding of Certificates shall be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Transfer Agents, but upon payment by the transferee of any Tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to such transfer  (or

the giving of such indemnity and/or security as the Trustee, the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may require).

(d) Closed Periods: No Certificateholder may require the transfer of a Certificate to be registered (i) during the period of 15 days ending on (and including) the due date for payment of any Dissolution Distribution Amount or Periodic Distribution Amount or any other date on which any payment of the face amount or payment of any profit in respect of that Certificate falls due, (ii) after any such Certificate has been called for redemption pursuant to Condition 8 or (iii) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date.

4 Status and Limited Recourse

(a) Status of Certificates: The Certificates represent an undivided ownership interest in the Trust Assets and are limited recourse obligations of the Trustee. Each Certificate will constitute unsecured obligations of the Trustee and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference or priority with all other Certificates.

(b) Status of Obligor's obligations: The payment obligations of the Obligor (in any capacity) under the Transaction Documents are and will be direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the negative pledge provisions described in Condition 6(b)(vii)) unsecured obligations of the Obligor and shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to the negative pledge provisions described in Condition 6(b)(vii), at all times rank at least equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Obligor, present and future.

(c) Limited Recourse and Agreement of Certificateholders: Save as provided in this Condition 4(c), the Certificates do not represent an interest in or obligation of any of the Trustee, the Delegate, the Obligor, any of the Agents or any of their respective affiliates.

The proceeds of the Trust Assets are the sole source of payments on the Certificates. The net proceeds of the realisation of, or enforcement with respect to, the Trust Assets may not be sufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Certificates. Certificateholders, by subscribing for or acquiring the Certificates, acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Conditions or any Transaction Document:

(i) no payment of any amount whatsoever shall be made by the Trustee (in any capacity) or the Delegate or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents on their behalf except to the extent funds are available therefor from the Trust Assets and no recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount due and owing hereunder or under any Transaction Document, whether for the payment of any fee, indemnity or other amount hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon the Transaction Documents, against the Trustee (in any capacity) or the Delegate to the extent that the Trust Assets have been exhausted, following which all obligations of the Trustee shall be extinguished;

(ii) the Trustee may not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the Wakala Assets to a third party and may only realise its rights, title, interest, benefits and entitlements, present and future in, to and under the Wakala Assets in the manner expressly provided in the Transaction Documents;

(iii) if the proceeds of the Trust Assets are insufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Certificates, Certificateholders will have no recourse to any assets of the Trustee (and/or its directors, officers, shareholders or corporate services providers in each of their respective capacities as such) (other than the Trust Assets in the manner and to the extent contemplated by the Transaction Documents) or of the Delegate or the Agents or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders or affiliates, in each case in respect of any shortfall or otherwise;

(iv) no Certificateholders will be able to petition for, institute against, or join with any other person in instituting proceedings for, the reorganisation, arrangement, liquidation, bankruptcy, winding-up or receivership or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law in any jurisdiction against the Trustee (in any capacity), the Delegate, the Agents or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders or affiliates as a consequence of such shortfall or otherwise;

(v) no recourse (whether by institution or enforcement of any legal proceedings or assessment or otherwise) in respect of any breaches of any duty, obligation or undertaking of the Trustee or the Delegate arising under or in connection with the Certificates or the Transaction Documents by virtue of any customary law, statute or otherwise shall be had against any shareholder, officer, employee, agent, director or corporate services provider of the Trustee and/or the Delegate (in each of their respective capacities as such). The obligations of the Trustee (in any capacity) under the Certificates and the Transaction Documents are corporate or limited liability obligations of the Trustee and no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, members, officers, employees, agents, directors or corporate services providers of the Trustee (in each of their respective capacities as such), save in the case of their wilful default or actual fraud. Reference in these Conditions to wilful default or actual fraud means a finding to such effect by a court of competent jurisdiction in relation to the conduct of the relevant party; and

(vi) it shall not be entitled to claim or exercise any right of set-off, counterclaim, abatement or other similar remedy which it might otherwise have, under the laws of any jurisdiction, in respect of such Certificate or any part of these Conditions. No collateral is or will be given for the payment obligations under the Transaction Documents or the Certificates (without prejudice to the negative pledge provisions described in Condition 6(b)(vii)).

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Obligor is obliged to make certain payments directly to or to the order of the Trustee. Such payment obligations form part of the Trust Assets and the Trustee and the Delegate (in the name of and on behalf of the Trustee) will thereby have direct recourse against the Obligor to recover payments due to the Trustee from the Obligor pursuant to such Transaction Documents notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 4(c). Such right of the Trustee and the Delegate shall (subject to the negative pledge provisions described in Condition 6(b)(vii)) constitute an unsecured claim against the Obligor. None of the Certificateholders, the Trustee nor the Delegate shall be entitled to claim any priority right in respect of any specific assets of the Obligor in connection with the enforcement of any such claim.

5 The Trust

(v) Limitation on Affiliate Transactions: not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries (an "Affiliate Transaction") unless:

a. if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of U.S.$2,500,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favourable to the Obligor or such Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm's-length dealings with a person who is not an Affiliate of the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries;

b. if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of U.S.$7,500,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Obligor disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in paragraph

c. if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of U.S.$50,000,000, the board of directors shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Obligor and its Subsidiaries or is not less favourable to the Obligor and its Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm's-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate.

This condition 6(b)(v) does not apply to any Affiliate Transaction between the Obligor and its Subsidiaries or between its Subsidiaries.

(vi) Restriction on Distributions from Subsidiaries: shall procure that, for so long as a Material Subsidiary is lawfully able to pay at least U.S.$1.00 (or its equivalent in another currency) in dividends, such Material Subsidiary will not create or otherwise become subject to or permit to exist, any restriction on its ability to pay such dividends.

(vii) Negative Pledge: not, and shall procure that none of its Subsidaries Subsidiaries will, create or permit to subsist any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Security Interest) over any of its or their assets to secure any Financial Relevant Indebtedness or Relevant Sukuk Obligation or any guarantee or indemnity of its Relevant Indebtedness or Relevant Sukuk Obligation unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Obligor's obligations under the Transaction Documents are secured equally and rateably therewith; or have the benefit of such other arrangement as may be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of Certificateholders, or as Delegate in its discretion shall deem to be not materially less beneficial to the interests of Certificateholders.

a. in respect of each financial year, (A) deliver to the Delegate; and (B) publish in accordance with the rules of the ISM and/or on the website of the Obligor; as the case may be, the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Group, in each case, prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Standards and delivered by no later than 120 days after the end of the financial year; and

b. in respect of any period for which interim reviewed consolidated financial statements are published by the Group, (A) deliver to the Delegate; and (B) publish in accordance with the rules of the ISM and/or on the website of the Obligor, as the case may be, such interim reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Group, in each case, prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Standards and to be delivered by no later than 60 days after the end of the relevant interim period.

(ix) Merger and Consolidation: not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

a. the Obligor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Obligor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made (the "Successor Company") is a corporation organised or existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, the Cayman Islands, any member state of the European Union, any member country of the Gulf Cooperation Council or any other member country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation  and

Development (each an "OECD Country") (other than any other OECD Country the long-term foreign currency rating of which at such time is less than "A" (or the equivalent) from any two Recognised Rating Agencies);

b. the Successor Company assumes all the obligations of the Obligor under the Transaction Documents whether by operation of law or pursuant to amendment agreements in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Delegate;

c. immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Financial Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by such Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Obligor Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and

d. immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, (i) the Successor Company would be able to incur an additional U.S.$1.00 of Financial Indebtedness pursuant to Condition 6(b)(ii) or (ii) the Consolidated Net Worth of the Successor Company would be no less than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Obligor immediately prior to such transaction,

provided, however, that the restriction set out in Condition 6(b)(ix)(d) will not be applicable to (A) a Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Obligor (so long as no Capital Stock of the Obligor is distributed to any Person) or (B) the Obligor merging with an Affiliate of the Obligor solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Obligor in another jurisdiction.

(x) Pari Passu Ranking: ensure that the obligations of the Obligor under the Transaction Documents at all times rank at least pari passuin right of payment with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, save for those preferred by provisions of law which are both mandatory and of general application.

(xi) Treasury Shares: not at any time hold more than 10 per cent. of the Capital Stock of the Obligor.

(xii) Suspension of Covenants:

a. If on any date the following conditions are satisfied (the fulfilment of these conditions being referred to as "Investment Grade Status"):

i. the Certificates are assigned any two of the following ratings: Baa3 or better by Moody's, BBB- or better by S&P, BBB- or better by Fitch, or an equivalent credit rating from any other Recognised Rating Agency; and

ii. there exists no Dissolution Event or Potential Dissolution Event,

then, beginning on such date and for such time as the foregoing conditions remain satisfied (such period, the "Investment Grade Status Period"), the following covenants will be suspended (a) Condition 6(b)(i), (b) Condition 6(b)(ii), (c) Condition 6(b)(iii) and (d) Condition 6(b)(iv).

b. The covenants and other provisions of these Conditions that are suspended during an Investment Grade Status Period will be immediately reinstated and will continue to exist upon the commencement of any period in which the Certificates do not have Investment Grade Status. No action taken (or not taken) during an Investment Grade Status Period or prior to an Investment Grade Status Period in compliance with the covenants then applicable may constitute an Obligor Event or an event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Obligor Event under the Certificates  in the event

that suspended covenants and provisions are subsequently reinstated or suspended, as the case may be.

7 Periodic Distribution Amounts

(a) Periodic Distribution Amounts: A profit distribution (the amount of which shall be calculated as provided in Condition 7(b)) shall accrue at the Profit Rate and shall be payable in arrear in respect of the Certificates on each Periodic Distribution Date in respect of the Return Accumulation Period ending on such date (each such distribution being referred to in these Conditions as a "Periodic Distribution Amount"). Periodic Distribution Amounts shall be distributed to Certificateholders by the Principal Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, pro rata to their respective holdings, out of amounts transferred to the Transaction Account and subject to Condition 5(b) and Condition 9.

(b) Calculations: The amount of profit payable per Calculation Amount in respect of any Certificate for any period shall be equal to the product of (i) the Profit Rate, (ii) the Calculation Amount, and (iii) the Day Count Fraction for such period, with the result being rounded to the nearest U.S.$0.01, U.S.$0.005 being rounded upwards. For these purposes, "Day Count Fraction" means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of profit on any Certificate for any period (whether or not constituting a Return Accumulation Period, the "Calculation Period"), the number of days in the Calculation Period divided by 360 (the number of days in such period to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30- day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed).

(c) Entitlement to Profit: No further Periodic Distribution Amounts will be payable in respect of any Certificate from and including: (i) any Dissolution Date (other than the Total Loss Event Dissolution Date) unless payment is improperly withheld or refused and no sale agreement has been executed pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking or the Sale and Substitution Undertaking as the case may be, in which event Periodic Distribution Amounts shall continue to accumulate (both before and after judgment) in the manner provided in this Condition 7 to the earlier of (x) the Relevant Date; and (y) the date on which a Sale Agreement has been executed in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Undertaking or the Sale and Substitution Undertaking, as the case may be; or (ii) the Total Loss Event Dissolution Date.

8 Redemption and Dissolution of the Trust

(a) Dissolution on the Scheduled Dissolution Date: Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, in full, as provided below, each Certificate shall be finally redeemed on the Scheduled Dissolution Date at its Dissolution Distribution Amount, and the Trust shall be dissolved by the Trustee following the payment of all such amounts in full. Upon such dissolution as aforesaid, the Certificates shall cease to represent interests in the Trust Assets and no further amounts shall be payable in respect thereof and the Trustee shall have no further obligations in respect thereof.

(b) Early Dissolution at the Option of the Obligor: If:

(i) (A) the Trustee has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as described under Condition 10 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 27 January 2020, and (B) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Trustee taking reasonable measures available to it; or

(ii) (A) the Obligor has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts to the Trustee pursuant to the terms of any Transaction Document as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or  amendment becomes effective on or  after 27 January 2020 and (B)  such

obligation cannot be avoided by the Obligor taking reasonable measures available to it,

(the occurrence of an event described in Condition 8(b)(i) or 8(b)(ii) being a "Tax Event"), the Obligor may, in its sole discretion, deliver to the Trustee a duly completed Exercise Notice in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Substitution Undertaking. On receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the Delegate and the Certificateholders (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem the Certificates in whole but not in part at any time (such date being an "Early Tax Dissolution Date") at their Dissolution Distribution Amount, provided that in either case,

(x) no such notice of dissolution shall be given to Certificateholders unless an Exercise Notice has been received by the Trustee from the Obligor pursuant to the Sale and Substitution Undertaking; and (y) no such notice of dissolution or Exercise Notice may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Trustee or the Obligor, as the case may be, would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Certificates (in the case of the Trustee) or pursuant to any Transaction Document (in the case of the Obligor) then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of dissolution pursuant to this Condition 8(b), the Trustee shall deliver to the Delegate:

(A) a certificate signed by two directors and/or Authorised Signatories of the Trustee (in the case of Condition 8(b)(i)) or the Obligor (in the case of Condition 8(b)(ii)), as the case may be, in each case stating that the obligation referred to in Condition 8(b)(i) or 8(b)(ii), as the case may be, has arisen and cannot be avoided by the Trustee or the Obligor, as the case may be, taking reasonable measures available to it; and

(B) an opinion of independent legal or tax advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Trustee or the Obligor, as the case may be, has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment,

and the Delegate shall be entitled to accept and rely on such certificate and legal opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Condition 8(b)(i) or, as the case may be, Condition 8(b)(ii) above (without Liability to any person), in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on Certificateholders.

Upon expiry of any such notice given in accordance with this Condition 8(b) and payment in full of the Dissolution Distribution Amount to Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be bound to dissolve the Trust. Upon such dissolution as aforesaid, the Certificates shall cease to represent interests in the Trust Assets and no further amounts shall be payable in respect thereof and the Trustee shall have no further obligations in respect thereof.

(c) Dissolution following a Total Loss Event: The Obligor has agreed in the Trust Deed to notify the Trustee and the Delegate forthwith upon the occurrence of a Total Loss Event and to provide a description of the Total Loss Event. The Trustee, upon receipt of such notice from the Obligor or otherwise upon becoming aware of the occurrence of a Total Loss Event, unless the Lease Assets are replaced by the Obligor in accordance with the Servicing Agency Agreement, shall redeem all of the Certificates by no later than the close of business in London on the 31st day after the occurrence of the Total Loss Event (a "Total Loss Event Dissolution Date"). Any such redemption of Certificates shall be at their Dissolution Distribution Amount using either (i) the proceeds of insurance payable in respect of the Total Loss Event which are required to be paid into the Transaction Account by no later than the 29th day after the occurrence of the Total Loss Event, or (ii) if the insurance proceeds (if any) standing to the credit of the Transaction Account on the 29th day following the occurrence of a Total Loss Event are less than the Full Reinstatement Value, the amount standing to the credit of the Transaction Account on the 30th day following the occurrence of a Total Loss Event, representing the aggregate of the insurance proceeds paid in  respect

of any Total Loss Event (if any) and the Total Loss Shortfall Amount funded by the Servicing Agent in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agency Agreement and, in each case, together with the aggregate amounts of the Deferred Sale Price then outstanding under the Murabaha Agreement. Upon payment in full of the Dissolution Distribution Amount to all Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be bound to dissolve the Trust. Upon such dissolution as aforesaid, the Certificates shall cease to represent interests in the Trust Assets and no further amounts shall be payable in respect thereof and the Trustee shall have no further obligations in respect thereof.

(d) Dissolution following a Dissolution Event: Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Certificates may be redeemed at the Dissolution Distribution Amount and the Trustee shall dissolve the Trust, in each case subject to, and as more particularly specified in, Condition 12.

(e) Purchases: The Obligor and the Obligor's Subsidiaries may at any time purchase Certificates at any price. Any Certificates held by or on behalf of or for the benefit of the Obligor or any of the Obligor's Subsidiaries shall not entitle the holder to exercise any voting rights and shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of calculating quorums, meetings or for passing Extraordinary Resolutions for the purposes of Condition 14(a).

(f) Cancellation: Any Registered Certificates representing Certificates purchased by or on behalf of the Obligor or any of the Obligor's Subsidiaries may, in the Trustee's and the Obligor's sole discretion, be surrendered for cancellation in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement and the Sale and Substitution Undertaking. Any Registered Certificates so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and the obligations of the Trustee in respect of any such Certificates shall be discharged. If all (and not some only) of the Certificates are cancelled in accordance with this Condition 8(f), the Trustee shall be bound to dissolve the Trust.

(g) No other Dissolution:The Trustee shall not be entitled to redeem the Certificates or dissolve the Trust other than as provided in this Condition 8 and Condition 12.

9 Payments

(a) Method of Payment:

(i) Payments of the Dissolution Distribution Amount shall be made (subject to surrender of the relevant Registered Certificates at the specified office of any Transfer Agent or of the Registrar if no further payment falls to be made in respect of the Certificates represented by such Registered Certificates) in the manner provided in paragraph (ii) below.

(ii) Periodic Distribution Amounts in respect of each Certificate shall be paid to the person shown on the Register (or, in the case of a Certificate held by two or more persons, to the person whose name appears first on the Register) at the close of business on the fifteenth day before the due date for payment thereof (the "Record Date"). Payments of Periodic Distribution Amounts and the Dissolution Distribution Amount in respect of each Certificate shall be made in U.S. dollars by transfer to an account in U.S. dollars maintained by the payee with a bank that processes payments in U.S. dollars notified by the holder to the specified office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent before the Record Date.

(iii) If the Dissolution Distribution Amount being paid upon surrender of the relevant Registered Certificate is less than the outstanding principal amount of such Registered Certificate, the Registrar will annotate the Register with the amount of principal so paid and will (if so requested by the Trustee or a Certificateholder) issue a new Registered Certificate with a principal amount equal to the remaining unpaid outstanding principal amount. If the Periodic Distribution Amount being paid is less than the amount then due, the Registrar will annotate the Register with the amount so paid.

(b) Payments subject to Laws: Payments are subject in all cases to (i) any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 10 and (ii) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto. No commission or expenses shall be charged to the Certificateholders in respect of such payments.

(c) Appointment of Agents: The Principal Paying Agent, the Paying Agent(s), the Registrar and the Transfer Agent(s) initially appointed by the Trustee and their respective specified offices are listed below. The Principal Paying Agent, the Paying Agent(s), the Registrar and the Transfer Agent(s) act solely as agents of the Trustee and do not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Certificateholder. The Trustee reserves the right at any time with the approval of the Delegate to vary or terminate the appointment of the Principal Paying Agent, any other Paying Agent, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or Transfer Agents, provided that the Trustee shall at all times maintain (i) a Principal Paying Agent, (ii) a Registrar, (iii) a Transfer Agent,

(iv) a Paying Agent (which may be the Principal Paying Agent) having a specified office in at least one major European city and (v) such other agents as may be required by any stock exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, in each case as approved by the Delegate.

Notice of any such change or any change of any specified office shall promptly be given to the Certificateholders.

(d) Non-Business Days: If any date for payment in respect of any Certificate is not a business day, the holder shall not be entitled to payment until the next following business day nor to any profit or other sum in respect of such postponed payment. In this Condition 9(d), "business day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in the place in which the specified office of the Registrar is located and, where payment is to be made by transfer to an account maintained with a bank in U.S. dollars, on which foreign exchange transactions may be carried on in

U.S. dollars in New York.

10 Taxation

All payments in respect of the Certificates shall be made in U.S. dollars without set-off or counterclaim of any kind and free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of a Relevant Jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Trustee shall pay such additional amounts as shall result in receipt by the Certificateholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Certificate:

(a) Other connection: held by or on behalf of a holder who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Certificate by reason of his having some connection with a Relevant Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Certificate; or

(b) Surrender more than 30 days after the Relevant Date: in respect of which the Registered Certificate representing it is presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of it would have been entitled to such additional amounts on surrendering the Registered Certificate representing such Certificate for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days irrespective of whether that day is a business day (as defined in Condition 9(d)).

As used in these Conditions, "Relevant Date" in respect of any Certificate means the date on which payment in respect of it first becomes due or (if any amount of the money payable is improperly

withheld or refused) the date on which payment in full of the amount outstanding is made or (if earlier) the date seven days after that on which notice is duly given to the Certificateholders that, upon surrender of the Registered Certificate representing such Certificate being made in accordance with the Conditions, such payment will be made, provided that payment is in fact made upon such surrender. References in these Conditions to "Periodic Distribution Amounts" and the "Dissolution Distribution Amount" shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition 10 or any undertaking given in addition to or in substitution for it under the Trust Deed.

Notwithstanding any other provision in these Conditions, in no event will the Trustee, the Obligor or the Agents be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of the Certificates for, or on account of, any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, or any official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto.

11 Prescription

Claims against the Trustee for payment in respect of the Certificates shall be prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years (in the case of the Dissolution Distribution Amount) or five years (in the case of Periodic Distribution Amounts) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.

12 Dissolution Events

(a) Dissolution Event: Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event:

(i) the Delegate, upon receiving express notice in writing thereof under the Trust Deed of a Dissolution Event, shall (subject to it being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction) promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Dissolution Event to the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 17 with a request to the Certificateholders to indicate to the Trustee and the Delegate if they wish the Certificates to be redeemed and the Trust to be dissolved; and

(ii) the Delegate in its sole discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of at least 25 per cent. of the then aggregate face amount of the Certificates outstanding or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution (subject in each case to being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction) shall, give notice (a "Dissolution Notice") to the Trustee, the Obligor and the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 17 that the Certificates are immediately due and payable at the Dissolution Distribution Amount, whereupon they shall become so due and payable. A Dissolution Notice may be given pursuant to this Condition 12(a)(ii) whether or not notice has been given to Certificateholders as provided in Condition 12(a)(i).

Upon receipt of such Dissolution Notice, (x) the Trustee (or the Delegate on behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver an Exercise Notice to the Obligor under the Purchase Undertaking, and the Exercise Price shall become immediately due and payable thereunder, and (y) all aggregate amounts of the Deferred Sale Price shall immediately become due and payable under the Murabaha Agreement. The Trustee (or the Delegate in the name of the Trustee) shall use the Exercise Price payable under the Purchase Undertaking together with the amounts then due and payable under the Murabaha Agreement to redeem the Certificates at the Dissolution Distribution Amount on the date of the relevant Exercise Notice (the relevant "Dissolution Event Redemption Date") and the Trust shall be dissolved on the day after the last outstanding Certificate has been so redeemed in full.

Upon payment in full of such amounts and dissolution of the Trust as aforesaid, the Certificates shall cease to represent interests in the Trust Assets and no further amounts shall be payable in respect thereof and the Trustee shall have no further obligations in respect thereof.

(b) Enforcement and Exercise of Rights: If, following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, any amount payable in respect of the Certificates has not been paid in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 12(a)), the Trustee or the Delegate (in the name of and on behalf of the Trustee), subject to it being indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction, shall, subject to Condition 13 (acting for the benefit of the Certificateholders) take one or more of the following steps:

 

(i) enforce the provisions of the Transaction Documents against the Obligor; and/or

(ii) take such other actions or steps or institute such proceedings as the Trustee or the Delegate may, in its opinion, consider necessary to recover amounts due to the Trustee and/or the Certificateholders.

13 Realisation of Trust Assets

(a) Neither the Delegate nor the Trustee shall be bound in any circumstances to take any action, step or proceeding to enforce or to realise the Trust Assets or take any action, step or proceeding against the Trustee, the Obligor under any Transaction Document to which any of the Trustee, the Obligor is a party unless directed or requested to do so: (i) by an Extraordinary Resolution; or (ii) in writing by the holders of at least 25 per cent. of the then outstanding aggregate face amount of the Certificates; or (iii) (in the case of the Trustee only) by the Delegate, and in any such case then only if it shall be indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction against all Liabilities to which it may thereby render itself liable or which it may incur by so doing.

(b) No Certificateholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Trustee or the Obligor unless the Delegate or the Trustee, as the case may be, having become bound so to proceed,

(i) fails to do so within a reasonable period or (ii) is unable by reason of an order of a court having competent jurisdiction to do so and in each case such failure or inability is continuing. Under no circumstances shall the Delegate or any Certificateholder have any right to cause the sale or other disposition of any of the Trust Assets (other than as expressly contemplated in the Transaction Documents) and the sole right of the Delegate and the Certificateholders against the Trustee and the Obligor shall be to enforce their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are a party.

(c) The foregoing provisions of this Condition 13 are subject to this Condition 13(c). After enforcing or realising the Trust Assets and distributing the net proceeds of the Trust Assets in accordance with Condition 5(b), the obligations of the Trustee in respect of the Certificates shall be satisfied and no Certificateholder may take any further steps, actions or proceedings against the Trustee (or any steps, actions or proceedings against the Delegate) to recover any further sums in respect of the Certificates and the right to receive any such unpaid sums shall be extinguished. In particular, no Certificateholder shall be entitled in respect thereof to petition or to take any other steps, actions or proceedings for the winding-up of the Trustee.

14 Meetings of Certificateholders, Modification and Waiver

(a) Meetings of Certificateholders: The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of Certificateholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of any of these Conditions or any provisions of the Trust Deed. Such a meeting may be convened by Certificateholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in face amount of the Certificates for the time being outstanding. The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary Resolution shall be two or more persons holding or representing not less than a clear majority in face amount of the Certificates for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting two or more persons being or representing Certificateholders whatever the face amount of the Certificates held or represented, unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals (i) to amend any Dissolution Date in respect of the Certificates or any date for payment of Periodic Distribution Amounts in respect of the Certificates, (ii) to reduce or cancel or vary the method for calculating the amount of any payment due in respect of the Certificates, (iii) to

amend any of the Trustee's or the Obligor's covenants set out in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (iv) to vary the currency of payment or denomination of the Certificates,

(v) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of Certificateholders or the majority required to pass the Extraordinary Resolution, or (vi) to amend the above list, in which case the necessary quorum shall be two or more persons holding or representing not less than 75 per cent., or at any adjourned meeting not less than

25 per cent., in face amount of the Certificates for the time being outstanding. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on Certificateholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed).

The Trust Deed provides that a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 75 per cent., in aggregate face amount of the Certificates then outstanding (a "Written Resolution") shall for all purposes be as valid and effective as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Certificateholders duly convened and held. Such a Written Resolution may be contained in one document or several documents in like form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Certificateholders. Such a Written Resolution will be binding on all Certificateholders whether or not they participated in such Written Resolution.

(b) Modifications, Waivers, Authorisations and Determinations:The Delegate may, without the consent or sanction of the Certificateholders: (i) agree to any modification of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed (including these Conditions) or of any other Transaction Document that is, in the opinion of the Delegate, of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error; or (ii) (A) agree to any other modification (except as mentioned in the Trust Deed), or to any waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach, of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed or the Transaction Documents; or (B) determine that any Dissolution Event or Potential Dissolution Event shall not be treated as such provided that such modification, waiver, authorisation or determination is:

(x) in the opinion of the Delegate not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Certificateholders;

(y) not in contravention of any express direction given by Extraordinary Resolution or request in writing by the holders of at least 25 per cent. of the outstanding aggregate face amount of the Certificates; or

(z) other than in respect of a matter which requires a special quorum resolution (as defined in the proviso to paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the Trust Deed). Any such modification, authorisation, determination or waiver shall be binding on the Certificateholders and shall be notified to the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 17 as soon as practicable.

(c) Entitlement of the Delegate:In connection with the exercise of its functions (including, but not limited to, those referred to in this Condition) the Delegate shall have regard to the interests of the Certificateholders as a class and shall not have regard to the consequences of such exercise for individual Certificateholders and the Delegate shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Certificateholder be entitled to claim, from the Trustee, the Obligor or the Delegate any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Certificateholders (except, in the case of the Trustee and the Obligor, to the extent already provided for in Condition 10).

15 Delegate

(a) Delegation of Powers: The Trustee will in the Trust Deed irrevocably and unconditionally appoint the Delegate to be its attorney and, in its name, on its behalf and as its act and deeds, to execute, deliver and perfect all documents, and to exercise all of the present and future powers (including the power to sub-delegate), rights, trusts, authorities (including, but not limited to, the authority to request directions from any Certificateholders and the power to make any determinations to be made under the Transaction Documents) and discretions vested in the Trustee by the Trust Deed, that the Delegate may consider to be necessary  or

desirable in order to, upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event or Potential Dissolution Event, and subject to its being indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction, exercise all of the rights of the Trustee under the Transaction Documents and make such distributions from the Trust Assets as the Trustee is bound to make in accordance with the Trust Deed (together, the "Delegation" of the "Relevant Powers"), provided that (i) no obligations, duties, liabilities or covenants of the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Deed or any other Transaction Document shall be imposed on the Delegate by virtue of this Delegation; (ii) in no circumstances will such Delegation of the Relevant Powers result in the Delegate holding on trust the Trust Assets; and (iii) such Delegation of the Relevant Powers shall not include any power, trust, right, authority or discretion to dissolve any of the trusts constituted by the Trust Deed following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event or Potential Dissolution Event or to determine the remuneration of the Delegate (save as provided in the Trust Deed). The Trustee shall ratify and confirm all things done and all documents executed by the Delegate in the exercise of all or any of the Relevant Powers.

In addition to the Delegation of the Relevant Powers under the Trust Deed, the Delegate also has certain powers which are vested solely in it from the date of the Trust Deed.

The appointment of a delegate by the Trustee is intended to be in the interests of the Certificateholders and does not affect the Trustee's continuing role and obligations as sole trustee.

(b) Indemnification: The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Delegate in certain circumstances and for its relief from responsibility, including provisions relieving it from taking any action, step or proceeding unless indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction. In particular, but without limitation, in connection with the exercise of any of its rights in respect of the Trust Assets or any other right it may have pursuant to the Trust Deed or the other Transaction Documents, the Delegate shall in no circumstances be bound to take any action, step or proceeding unless directed to do so in accordance with Condition 12 or Condition 13, and then only if it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction.

(c) No Liability: The Delegate makes no representation and assumes no responsibility for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the obligations of the Obligor under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and shall not under any circumstances have any Liability or be obliged to account to Certificateholders in respect of any payments which should have been paid by the Obligor but are not so paid and shall not in any circumstances have any Liability arising from the Trust Assets, other than as expressly provided in these Conditions or in the Trust Deed.

(d) Reliance on Certificates, Reports, Advice, etc.: The Delegate may act on any certificate, opinion, advice, confirmation or report of any auditors, insolvency officials, financial advisers or other experts (as applicable) of the Trustee, the Obligor or any other person called for by or provided to the Delegate (whether or not addressed to the Delegate) in accordance with or for the purposes of the Trust Deed or the other Transaction Documents and such certificate, opinion, advice, confirmation or report may be relied upon by the Delegate (without Liability to any person) as sufficient evidence of the facts stated therein notwithstanding that such certificate, opinion, advice, confirmation or report and/or any engagement letter or other document entered into by the Delegate or any other person in connection therewith contains a monetary or other limit on the liability of the auditors or insolvency officials of the Trustee, the Obligor or such other person in respect thereof and notwithstanding that the scope and/or basis of such certificate, opinion, advice, confirmation or report may be limited by an engagement or similar letter or by the terms of the certificate or report itself and the Delegate shall not be bound in any such case to call for further evidence or be responsible for any Liability or inconvenience that may be occasioned by its failure to do so.

(e) Proper Performance of Duties: Nothing shall, in any case in which the Trustee or the Delegate has failed to show the degree of care and diligence required of it as trustee, in the case of the Trustee (having regard to the provisions of the Trust Deed conferring on it any trusts, powers, rights, authorities or discretions) or as donee and delegate, in the case of the Delegate (having regard to the powers, rights, authorities and discretions conferred on it by the Trust Deed and to the Relevant Powers delegated to it), respectively exempt the Trustee or the Delegate from or indemnify either of them against any Liability for gross negligence, wilful default or actual fraud of which either of them may be guilty in relation to their duties under the Trust Deed.

(f) Notice of Events: The Delegate shall not be responsible for monitoring or ascertaining whether or not a Dissolution Event, Potential Dissolution Event, Tax Event, or Total Loss Event has occurred or exists and, unless and until it shall have received express written notice to the contrary, it will be entitled to assume that no such event or circumstance exists or has occurred (without any Liability to any person for so doing).

16 Replacement of Registered Certificates

If any Registered Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced, subject to applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange or other relevant regulatory authority regulations, at the specified office of the Registrar or such other Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, as may from time to time be designated by the Trustee for the purpose and notice of whose designation is given to Certificateholders, in each case on payment by the claimant of the fees and costs incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence, security and indemnity (which may provide, inter alia, that if the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Registered Certificate is subsequently presented and/or surrendered for payment, there shall be paid to the Trustee on demand the amount payable by the Trustee in respect of such Registered Certificate) and otherwise as the Trustee may require (provided that the requirement is reasonable in light of prevailing market practice). Mutilated or defaced Registered Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

17 Notices

Notices to the holders of Certificates shall be mailed to them by first class mail (airmail if overseas) at their respective addresses in the Register.

In addition, the Trustee shall ensure that notices to the holders of Certificates are duly given and/or published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system (if any) on which the Certificates are for the time being admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation.

Any such notices shall be deemed to have been given on the fourth weekday (being a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday) after the date of mailing (or on the date of publication, or if published more than once or on different dates, on the date of the first publication).

So long as the Certificates are represented by a Global Certificate and such Global Certificate is held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, or any other clearing system, notices to Certificateholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to that clearing system for communication by it to entitled accountholders in substitution for mailing as required by this Condition 17. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the holders of the Certificates on the day on which the said notice was given to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or such other relevant clearing system.

18 Further Issues

The Trustee shall be at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Certificateholders to create and issue additional Certificates having the same terms and conditions as the outstanding Certificates on terms and conditions which are the same in all respects save for the date and amount of the first payment of the Periodic Distribution Amount and the date from which Periodic Distribution Amounts start to accrue and so that the same shall be consolidated and form a single

series with the outstanding Certificates. Any additional Certificates which are to form a single series with the outstanding Certificates previously constituted by the Trust Deed shall be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Trust Deed. References in these Conditions to the Certificates include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other certificates issued pursuant to this Condition 18 and forming a single series with the Certificates.

19 Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Certificates under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

20 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

(a) Governing Law: The Trust Deed (including these Conditions), the Agency Agreement and the Certificates and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the same are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

(b) Arbitration: The Delegate, the Trustee and the Obligor have in the Trust Deed agreed that, subject to Condition 20(c), any dispute, claim, difference or controversy arising out of or in connection with the Trust Deed (including these Conditions) and/or the Certificates (including any dispute, claim, difference or controversy as to their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination or the consequences of their nullity or any dispute relating to any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them) (a "Dispute") shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the LCIA (the "Rules"), which Rules (as amended from time to time) are incorporated by reference into this Condition 20. For these purposes:

(i) the seat of arbitration shall be London, England;

(ii) there shall be three arbitrators, each of whom shall be an attorney experienced in international securities transactions. The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly the second arbitrator, and a third arbitrator (who shall act as presiding arbitrator) shall be nominated by the arbitrators nominated by or on behalf of the claimant(s) and respondent(s) or, in the absence of agreement on the third arbitrator within 30 days of the date of nomination of the later of the two party- nominated arbitrators to be nominated, the third arbitrator shall be chosen by the LCIA Court (as defined in the Rules); and

(iii) the language of the arbitration shall be English.

(c) Option to Litigate: Notwithstanding the agreement described in Condition 20(b), the Delegate may, in the alternative and at its sole discretion, by notice in writing to the Trustee and the Obligor in accordance with the Trust Deed:

(i) within 28 days of service of a Request for Arbitration (as defined in the Rules); or

(ii) if no arbitration has commenced,

require that the Dispute be heard by a court of law (a "Notice to Litigate"). If the Delegate gives a Notice to Litigate, the Dispute to which such notice refers shall be determined in the manner described in Condition 20(d) and any arbitration commenced under Condition 20(b) in respect of that Dispute will be terminated. With the exception of the Delegate (whose costs will be borne by the Obligor), each of the parties to the terminated arbitration will bear its own costs in relation thereto.

(d) Effect of Exercise of Option to Litigate: If a Notice to Litigate is given pursuant to Condition 20(c), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) subject to paragraph (iii) below, the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute and each of the Trustee and the Obligor have in the Trust Deed irrevocably submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts;

(ii) each of the Trustee and the Obligor have agreed that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any Dispute and, accordingly, that it will not argue to the contrary; and

(iii) this Condition 20(d) is for the benefit of the Delegate for and on behalf of the Certificateholders only. As a result, and notwithstanding paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, the Delegate may take proceedings relating to a Dispute ("Proceedings") in any other courts with jurisdiction and, to the extent allowed by law, may take concurrent Proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(e) Appointment of Process Agent: Each of the Trustee and the Obligor has in the Trust Deed irrevocably appointed Walkers of 6 Gracechurch Street,1st Floor, 99 Bishopsgate, London, England, EC3V 0ATEC2M 3XD to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in respect of any Proceedings in England. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to such process agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by the Trustee and/or the Obligor). If for any reason such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or no longer has an address in England, each of the Trustee and the Obligor has irrevocably agreed in the Trust Deed to appoint a substitute process agent, and shall immediately notify the Delegate of such appointment. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

(f) Waiver of Interest:

(i) Each of the Trustee, the Delegate and the Obligor has irrevocably agreed in the Trust Deed that no interest will be payable or receivable under or in connection therewith and each party has agreed that it will not claim any interest in respect of any Proceedings brought by or on behalf of a party to the Trust Deed.

(ii) If it is determined that any interest is payable or receivable in connection therewith by a party, whether as a result of any judicial or arbitral award or by operation of any applicable law or otherwise, such party has agreed to waive any rights it may have to claim or receive such interest and has agreed that if any such interest is actually received by it, it shall promptly donate the same to a registered or otherwise officially recognised charitable organisation.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Condition 20(f) shall be construed as a waiver of rights in respect of any Wakala Portfolio Revenues, Full Reinstatement Value, Profit Amounts, Periodic Distribution Amounts, Rentals, Dissolution Distribution Amounts, Exercise Price, Deferred Sale Price, Required Amounts, Total Loss Shortfall Amounts or profit or principal or other amounts of any kind howsoever described payable by the Obligor (in any capacity), or by the Trustee (in any capacity) pursuant to the Transaction Documents and/or the Conditions, howsoever such amounts may be described or re-characterised by any court or arbitral tribunal.
