NOTICE TO EEA INVESTORS
This offering memorandum is not a prospectus and is being distributed to a limited number of recipients for the
sole purpose of assisting such recipients in determining whether to proceed with a further investigation of the purchase
of, or subscription for, the notes. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the notes
will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of the
European Economic Area ("EEA"), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities. Accordingly,
any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the notes, which are the subject of the placement
contemplated in this offering memorandum, should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the
Issuer or the initial purchasers to produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the initial purchasers have
authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the notes through any financial intermediary, other than
offers made by the initial purchasers, which constitute the final placement of the notes contemplated in this offering
memorandum.

including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of the notes to the public in the Relevant Member State at
any time:

to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(b)
to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010
PD Amending Directive, 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the
Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior
consent of the relevant dealer or dealers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(c)
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of the notes shall result in a requirement for the publication by the Issuer or the initial
purchasers of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this restriction, the expression an "offer of the notes to the public" in relation to any notes in
any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the
terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as
the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member
State, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010
PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant
implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means
