PART A : Summary of Conditions of Issue, Risk Factors and Description of Issuer

any amendment to, or change in, an official and binding interpretation of
any such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, go-
vernmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of
any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory
determination) which is enacted, promulgated, issued or becomes effec-
tive otherwise on or after the Issue Date; or

(iii)
any generally applicable official interpretation or pronouncement that

published by a recognised international statistical rating organisation not later
than 24 February 2011 (each such criterion, a "Relevant Criterion"), which
change of the Relevant Criteria results in a lower equity credit being given to the
Bonds as of the date of such changes than the equity credit that would have been

tional statistical rating organisation pursuant to the Relevant Criteria.

group solvency purposes or the solvency pursuant to the regula-
tions for financial conglomerates; or

(b)
the Competent Supervisory Authority issues further guidance in
relation to regulatory capital (howsoever described) at any time,

capital purposes to have regulatory capital, and that the Bonds
would not be eligible to qualify for inclusion in the regulatory
capital for single solvency or group solvency purposes or the sol-
vency pursuant to the regulations for financial conglomerates at
the time (save where such non-qualification is due only to any
applicable regulatory limit on the amount of such regulatory capi-
tal); or

(c)
the Competent Supervisory Authority has recognised the Bonds
as regulatory capital qualifying instruments for single solvency or
group solvency purposes or the solvency pursuant to the regula-
tions for financial conglomerates and at a subsequent time the
Competent Supervisory Authority states in writing to the Issuer
