transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with
Article 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for
Securities (other than Secured Notes) issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg

will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under
any state securities laws and are subject to certain United States tax law requirements. Trading in the Securities

requirements of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the rules thereunder.
Investors in the Securities will be deemed to have made or be required to make certain representations and
warranties in connection with purchasing the Securities.
All payments in respect of the N&C Securities will be made without deduction for or on account of
withholding taxes imposed by any tax jurisdiction unless any such deduction is required by law. In the
event that (i) any such deduction is required and (ii) the relevant N&C Securities are (A) specified as being
"Reference Item Linked N&C Securities" in the applicable Final Terms or (B) Secured Notes, the Issuer
will not be required to pay any additional amounts to cover the amounts so deducted.
A holder of a W&C Security must pay all taxes, duties and/or expenses arising from the exercise and

exercise or enforcement of any W&C Security and all payments will be made subject to any such tax, duty,
withholding or other payment.

N&C Securities and the W&C Securities" on pages 63-66 and each issue of Secured Notes will be issued in the
form set out in "Form of the Secured Notes" on pages 66-67.
Prospective purchasers of Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant
Securities and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the relevant
Securities as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. Securities
involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the
purchase price of their Securities. See "Risk Factors" on pages 20-60.
Any person (an "Investor") intending to acquire or acquiring any Securities from any person (an "Offeror")
should be aware that, in the context of an offer to the public as defined in the Prospectus Directive, the Issuer may
be responsible to the Investor for this Base Prospectus only if the Issuer is acting in association with that Offeror
to make the offer to the Investor. Each Investor should therefore verify with the Offeror whether or not the
Offeror is acting in association with the Issuer. If the Offeror is not acting in association with the Issuer, the
Investor should check with the Offeror whether anyone is responsible for this Base Prospectus for the purposes of
Article 6 of the Prospectus Directive as implemented by the national legislation of each Member State of the
European Economic Area in the context of the offer to the public, and, if so, who that person is. If the Investor is
in any doubt about whether it can rely on this Base Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its contents it should
take legal advice.
The rating of certain Series of Securities to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable
Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series of Securities will be

Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, such offer is made in the period beginning and
