"Reference Index"

means:
Price Index" meaning the "Non-revised Index of
Consumer Prices excluding Tobacco", or a successor
index designated by the Issuer and the Calculation
Agent, measuring the rate of inflation in the European
Monetary Union excluding tobacco, expressed as an
index and published by the relevant Index Sponsor. The
first publication or announcement of a level of such
index for a relevant month shall be final and conclusive
and later revisions to the level for such relevant month

the Issuer and the Calculation Agent.
"Interest Period" means:

Date (or 15 September 2006 in respect to the first

End Date, each period being subject to no adjustment.



4. Disruption and Fallbacks


1) If the Reference Index for a particular month P is not published within a reasonable time
from each date on which it is required, a substitute index shall be determined in accordance
with the following formula:

Substitute Index P = Index P-1 × ( Index P-1 / Index P-13 ) 1/12

Where:
P = The month for which no Reference Index is published and for which a substitute
index must therefore be determined by extrapolation.

Index P-1 =
The Reference Index for month P ­ 1.

Index P-13 = The Reference Index for month P ­ 13.

Upon publication of the relevant Reference Index, such index will apply from the day
following its publication (and the substitute index will from this day cease to apply).

2) If the Calculation Agent determines that the Reference Index has been or will be rebased at
any time, the Reference Index as so rebased (the "Rebased Index") will be used for purposes of
determining the level of a Reference Index from the date of such rebasing; provided, however,
that the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the past levels of the Rebased Index, if
necessary, so that the Rebased Index levels reflect the same rate of inflation as the Reference
Index before it was rebased. Any such rebasing shall not affect any prior payments made
under the Instruments.
