increased from time to time without the consent of the holders of Notes.
The Notes are issued in accordance with and subject to a fiscal and paying agency agreement dated 7 October
2009 (as amended and/or restated and/or replaced from time to time up to the first Issue Date (as defined below)

trust office of the Paying Agent. All persons from time to time holding any Notes shall be deemed to have notice

The Notes are issued in separate series (each, a "Series") and the Notes of each Series will all be subject to

Issue Date and interest commencement date, which may or may not be identical in connection with further
issuances).
Each Series will be the subject of a pricing supplement document (the "Pricing Supplement") endorsed upon or
