Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch (the "Principal Paying, Transfer and Conversion
Agent", which expression shall include any successor as Principal Paying, Transfer and Conversion

successors as Paying, Transfer and Conversion Agents under the Agency Agreement) and BNP Paribas
Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch in its capacity as registrar (the "Registrar", which expression

Agent has been appointed to make certain calculations in relation to the Bonds. The holders of the
Bonds (the "Bondholders") are deemed to have notice of all of the provisions of the Agency
Agreement and the Calculation Agency Agreement applicable to them. The Issuer will assume the
obligations of the Original Issuer under the Agency Agreement and the Calculation Agency Agreement
by virtue of the Merger and pursuant to a supplemental paying, transfer and conversion agency
agreement (the "Supplemental Agency Agreement") dated on or about 20 December 2018. The
Original Agency Agreement as supplemented by the Supplemental Agency Agreement is referred to

Agreement are available for inspection at the specified offices of the Paying, Transfer and Conversion
Agents and the Registrar.
Each Bond will, subject as set out in these Terms and Conditions (the "Conditions"), entitle the holder
