This Prospectus does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of Article 5 of Directive 2003/71/EC (as such directive may be amended from time to time, the "Prospectus
Directive"). The Issuer is not offering the Refinancing Notes in any jurisdiction in circumstances that would require a prospectus to be prepared pursuant to the Prospectus
Directive. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange plc (the "Irish Stock Exchange") for the Refinancing Notes to be admitted to the official list (the "Official
List") and to trading on the Global Exchange Market of The Irish Stock Exchange (the "Global Exchange Market") which is the exchange regulated market of the Irish Stock
Exchange. There can be no assurance that such listing will be granted or, if granted, maintained. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange to approve this
Prospectus as listing particulars for such application.
The Refinancing Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer which are payable solely out of amounts received by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Collateral
(as defined herein). The net proceeds of the realisation of the security over the Collateral upon acceleration of the Notes following an Event of Default (as defined herein) may
be insufficient to pay all amounts due to the Noteholders (as defined herein) after making payments to other creditors of the Issuer ranking prior thereto or pari passu therewith.
In the event that there is a shortfall in such proceeds, the Issuer will not be obliged to pay, and the other assets (including the Irish Excluded Assets (as defined herein)) of the
Issuer will not be available for payment of such shortfall, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished. See Condition 4 (Security).
THE REFINANCING NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

Person with respect to the insufficiency of such information or any failure of the transactions contemplated hereby

and/or its national regulator to determine whether, and to what extent, such information is sufficient for such

certificated form will be issued only in limited circumstances. In each case, purchasers and transferees of notes
will be deemed, and in certain circumstances will be required, to have made certain representations and
agreements. See "Form of the Notes", "Book Entry Clearance Procedures", "Plan of Distribution" and "Transfer

not with a view to distribution and may be resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (1) to the Issuer (upon
redemption thereof or otherwise), (2) to a person the purchaser reasonably believes is a QIB which is also a QP,
in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, or (3) outside the United States to a non-U.S. Person in
an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S, in each case, in compliance with the Trust Deed and all
applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. See "Transfer Restrictions".
