AVAILABLE INFORMATION To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Securities that are "restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Issuer has undertaken in a deed poll dated 2nd July, 2004 (the Deed Poll) to furnish, upon the request of a holder of such Securities or any FR:

5 beneficial interest therein, to such holder or to a prospective purchaser designated by him, the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if, at the time of the request, the Issuer is neither a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.

7 In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Debt Obligations, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Debt Obligations (provided that, in the case of any Tranche of Debt Obligations to be listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of Debt Obligations allotted does not exceed 105 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Tranche) or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Debt Obligations at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Debt Obligations is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Debt Obligations and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Debt Obligations FR:

8 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME Under the Programme, the Issuer may from time to time issue Debt Obligations denominated in any currency, subject as set out herein. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Programme, the Securities and the Notes appears below. The applicable terms of any Debt Obligations will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer prior to the issue of the Debt Obligations and will be set out in the Terms and Conditions of the Securities or the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, as the case may be, endorsed on, attached to, or incorporated by reference into, the Debt Obligations, as modified and supplemented by the applicable Final Terms attached to, or endorsed on, such Debt Obligations, as more fully described under "Form of the Debt Obligations" below. This Base Prospectus and any supplement will only be valid for listing Debt Obligations on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and admitting Debt Obligations to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange during the period of 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus in an aggregate nominal amount which, when added to the aggregate nominal amount then outstanding of all Debt Obligations previously or simultaneously issued under the Programme, does not exceed EUR 10,000,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. For the purpose of calculating the euro equivalent of the aggregate nominal amount of Debt Obligations issued under the Programme from time to time: (a) the euro equivalent of Debt Obligations denominated in another Specified Currency (as specified in the applicable Final Terms in relation to the Debt Obligations, described under "Form of the Debt Obligations") shall be determined, at the discretion of the Issuer, either as of the date on which agreement is reached for the issue of Debt Obligations or on the preceding day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London, in each case on the basis of the spot rate for the sale of the euro against the purchase of such Specified Currency in the London foreign exchange market quoted by any leading international bank selected by the Issuer on the relevant day of calculation; (b) the euro equivalent of Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Notes and Partly Paid Notes (each as specified in the applicable Final Terms in relation to the Notes, described under "Form of the Debt Obligations") shall be calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the original nominal amount on issue of such Notes (in the case of Partly Paid Notes regardless of the subscription price paid); and (c) the euro equivalent of Zero Coupon Securities and Zero Coupon Notes (as specified in the applicable Final Terms in relation to the Securities and the Notes, described under "Form of the Debt Obligations") and other Securities or Notes issued at a discount or a premium shall be calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the net proceeds received by the Issuer for the relevant issue FR:

Debt Obligations may be issued on a fully-paid or a partly-paid basis and at an issue price which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par. The Debt Obligations will be issued in bearer or registered form as described in "Form of the Debt Obligations". Registered Debt Obligations will not be exchangeable for Bearer Debt Obligations and vice versa. Bearer Debt Obligations will be issued outside the United States to non-u.s. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (Regulation S). Registered Securities will be issued both outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S and within the United States in reliance on Rule 144A or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Registered Notes will be issued outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S only unless appropriate amendments are made to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes in the applicable Final Terms permitting Registered Notes to be issued within the United States. Fixed interest will be payable on such date or dates as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer and on redemption and will be calculated on the basis of such Day Count Fraction as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. Floating Rate Debt Obligations will bear interest at a rate determined: (i) on the same basis as the floating rate under a notional interest rate swap transaction in the relevant Specified Currency governed by an agreement incorporating the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., and as amended and updated as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes of the relevant Series); or (ii) on the basis of a reference rate appearing on the agreed screen page of a commercial quotation service; or (iii) on such other basis as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The margin (if any) relating to such floating rate will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer for each Series of Floating Rate Debt Obligations. Payments of principal in respect of Index Linked Redemption Notes or of interest in respect of Index Linked Interest Notes will be calculated by reference to such index and/or formula or to changes in the prices of securities or commodities or to such other factors as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer may agree. Index Linked Securities will not be issued. Floating Rate Debt Obligations and Index Linked Interest Notes may also have a maximum interest rate, a minimum interest rate or both. Interest on Floating Rate Debt Obligations and Index Linked Interest Notes in respect of each Interest Period, as agreed prior to issue by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer, will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates, and will be calculated on the basis of such Day Count Fraction, as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and whether at maturity or otherwise) in respect of Dual Currency Notes will be made in such currencies, and based on such rates of exchange, as the Issuer and the relevant FR:

11 Zero Coupon Debt Obligations: Redemption: Denomination of Debt Obligations: Dealer may agree. Dual Currency Securities will not be issued. Zero Coupon Debt Obligations will be offered and sold at a discount to their nominal amount and will not bear interest. The applicable Final Terms will indicate either that the relevant Debt Obligations cannot be redeemed prior to their stated maturity (other than in specified instalments, if applicable, or, in the case of Notes only, for taxation reasons or following an Event of Default) or that such Debt Obligations will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer and/or the holders of the Debt Obligations upon giving notice to the holders or the Issuer, as the case may be, on a date or dates specified prior to such stated maturity and at a price or prices and on such other terms as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The applicable Final Terms may provide that Debt Obligations may be redeemable in two or more instalments of such amounts and on such dates as are indicated in the applicable Final Terms. The Debt Obligations will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer save that the minimum denomination of each Debt Obligation admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive will be EUR 50,000 (or, if the Debt Obligations are denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such currency) or such other higher amount as may be allowed or required from time to time by the relevant central bank (or equivalent body) or any laws or regulations applicable to the relevant Specified Currency. As the minimum denomination of each Debt Obligation admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive will be EUR 50,000 (or, if the Debt Obligations are denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such currency), the Issuer is availing of its entitlement under Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 of 29 April 2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Prospectus Regulation) to give information in the registration document component of the Base Prospectus in accordance with the schedule set out in Annex IX of the Prospectus Regulation. Taxation: Negative Pledge: Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Final Terms, the minimum denomination of each Definitive IAI Registered Note will be U.S.$500,000 or its approximate equivalent in other Specified Currencies. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made without deduction for or on account of withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction, unless the Issuer shall be obliged by law to make such deduction or withholding. The Issuer will not be obliged to make any additional payments in respect of any such withholding or deduction imposed. All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without deduction for or on account of withholding taxes imposed by any Tax Jurisdiction (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes), subject as provided in Condition 6 of the Notes. In the event that any such deduction is made, the Issuer will, save in certain limited circumstances provided in Condition 6 of the Notes, be required to pay additional amounts to cover the amounts so deducted. None FR:

12 Cross Default: Status of the Debt Obligations: Rating: Listing and Admission to Trading: Governing Law: Selling Restrictions: United States Selling Restrictions: Irish Asset Covered Securities: None. The Securities will constitute direct, unconditional and senior obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu among themselves. The Securities will be public credit covered securities issued in accordance with the Asset Covered Securities Act, 2001 of Ireland, as amended (the Act), will be secured on cover assets that comprise a cover assets pool maintained by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Act, and will rank pari passu with all other obligations of the Issuer under public credit covered securities issued or to be issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Act. The Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer which will rank pari passu without any preference amongst themselves with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations (save for obligations having statutory priority) of the Issuer. The Notes will not constitute public credit covered securities or other asset covered securities for the purposes of the Act and, accordingly, the Notes will not be secured for the purposes of the Act on the cover assets pool maintained by the Issuer under the Act. Debt Obligations issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where an issue of Debt Obligations is rated, its rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating applicable to the Issuer. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Debt Obligations and may be subject to suspension, change or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Application has been made for Debt Obligations issued under the Programme to be listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange. The Debt Obligations may also be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) and/or admitted to trading on such other/further markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer in relation to each Series. Unlisted Debt Obligations may also be issued. The applicable Final Terms will state whether or not the relevant Debt Obligations are to be listed and, if so, on which stock exchange(s). The Debt Obligations will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Irish law. There are restrictions on the offer, sale and transfer of the Debt Obligations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, The Netherlands and Ireland and such other restrictions as may be required in connection with the offering and sale of a particular Tranche of Debt Obligations, see "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions". The Debt Obligations have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act. The Debt Obligations may only be offered or sold in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See "U.S. Information". TEFRA restrictions may also apply as specified in the Final Terms. The Act introduced into Irish law a framework for the issuance of asset covered securities. Asset covered securities can only be issued by Irish credit institutions that are registered under the Act and restrict their principal activities to public sector or property financing. Those credit institutions, such as the Issuer, that are registered under the Act and restrict their principal activities to public sector financing, are called designated public credit institutions (Institutions). The Act provides, among other things, for the registration of eligible credit institutions as Institutions, the maintenance by Institutions of a defined pool of prescribed public credit assets and limited classes of other assets, known as a cover assets pool (Pool) and the issuance FR:

13 Representation of holders of the Debt Obligations: by Institutions of certain asset covered securities secured by a statutory preference under the Act on the assets (Cover-Assets) comprised in the Pool maintained by the relevant Institution. Asset covered securities issued by Institutions in accordance with the Act are called public credit covered securities (Asset Covered Securities). The Act also varies the general provisions of Irish insolvency law which would otherwise apply with respect to Cover Assets and Asset Covered Securities on the insolvency of an Institution and replaces them with a special insolvency regime applicable to Institutions. The Act further provides for the supervision and regulation of Institutions by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority as part of the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (prior to 1st May, 2003, the Central Bank of Ireland) (the Authority), for the role of the cover-assets monitor (the Monitor) in respect of each Institution, for asset/liability management between the Pool and Asset Covered Securities and, in certain circumstances, for the role with respect to an Institution and its Pool and Asset Covered Securities of the National Treasury Management Agency or a manager appointed by the Authority. There is no provision for representation of holders of the Debt Obligations FR:

14 RISK FACTORS The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under Debt Obligations issued under the Programme. Most of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Debt Obligations issued under the Programme are also described below. The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in Debt Obligations issued under the Programme, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with any Debt Obligations may occur for other reasons which are as yet unknown and the Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the risks of holding any Debt Obligations are exhaustive. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Base Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. Factors that may affect the Issuer s ability to fulfil its obligations under Debt Obligations issued under the Programme Notes and Securities are obligations of the Issuer only. The Notes will constitute unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (other than obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law, which would include Securities and any other Asset Covered Securities issued by the Issuer). Securities will constitute unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer secured by a statutory preference under the Act on the Pool maintained by the Issuer. An investment in Notes and Securities involves a reliance on the creditworthiness of the Issuer and no other person. In addition, an investment in Notes and Securities involves the risk that subsequent changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of the Issuer may adversely affect the market value of the relevant Notes and Securities. The Issuer s business is subject to the general economic conditions of the markets in which it operates. The Issuer s public sector lending activities depend on the level of finance required by public sector borrowers. In particular, levels of borrowing in each of the core markets in which the Issuer does business depend on market interest rates, currency fluctuations, political decisions and other factors that affect the economies of such countries. The Issuer's business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by a worsening of general economic conditions, currency fluctuations and regulatory changes in its core markets. Significantly higher interest rates in any of the Issuer s core markets could also limit the ability or desire of public sector borrowers to incur new indebtedness. The Issuer s risk management strategies and techniques may leave it exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks. Like other banks, the Issuer faces risk in the conduct of its business, such as credit risk, operational risk and market risk (including liquidity risk). In order to minimise these risks, the Issuer has (in conjunction with the Group see further Asset/Liability Management at the Group and Issuer Levels ) implemented comprehensive risk management strategies, including the use of derivatives. Although the Issuer invests substantial time and effort in its risk management strategies and techniques, such risk management may nonetheless fail under some circumstances, particularly when confronted with risks that are not identified or anticipated. Some of the Issuer s methods for managing risk are based upon observation of historical market behaviour. The Issuer applies statistical techniques to these observations to quantify its risk exposures. If circumstances arise that the Issuer did not identify or anticipate in developing its models, the Issuer s losses could be greater than the Issuer expects. Furthermore, the Issuer s quantifications do not take all risks into account. If the Issuer s measures to assess and mitigate risk prove insufficient, the Issuer may experience material unexpected losses. Issuer s Short Business History FR:

15 The Issuer was incorporated in Ireland in March 2002 and only commenced its business operations in October Accordingly, the Issuer has only a limited established business history. The Letter of Comfort The letter of comfort described under Description of the Issuer and the Group Support for the Issuer s Obligations from WestLB AG is not, and should not be seen as, a contractual guarantee of the Issuer s payment obligations under the Debt Obligations but as a binding and enforceable obligation of WestLB AG to ensure that the Issuer will be in a position to meet its payment obligations. Abolition of Maintenance Obligation (Anstaltslast) and Guarantee Obligation (Gewährträgerhaftung) in respect of WestLB AG The abolition of the Maintenance Obligation and the Guarantee Obligation as of 18th July, 2005 (see "Description of the Issuer and the Group WestLB AG") dramatically changes the operating environment for the Group. The Issuer expects that this may increase its cost of unsecured funding. Factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Debt Obligations issued under the Programme The Debt Obligations may not be a suitable investment for all investors Each potential investor in the Debt Obligations must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Debt Obligations, the merits and risks of investing in the Debt Obligations and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement; have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Debt Obligations and the impact the Debt Obligations will have on its overall investment portfolio; have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Debt Obligations, including Debt Obligations with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor s currency; understand thoroughly the terms of the Debt Obligations and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks. Risks related to the structure of a particular issue of Debt Obligations A wide range of Debt Obligations may be issued under the Programme. A number of these Debt Obligations may have features which contain particular risks for potential investors. Potential investors should consider the terms of Debt Obligations before investing. Modification The conditions of the Notes contain provisions for calling meetings of holders of Notes to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all holders of Notes including holders of Notes who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and holders of Notes who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. EU Savings Directive If, following implementation of this Directive, a payment were to be made or collected through a Member State which has opted for a withholding system and an amount of, or in respect of tax were to be withheld from that FR:

16 payment, neither the Issuer nor any Paying Agent nor any other person would be obliged to pay additional amounts with respect to any Note as a result of the imposition of such withholding tax. If a withholding tax is imposed on payment made by a Paying Agent following implementation of this Directive, the Issuer will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the Directive. Change of law The conditions of the Debt Obligations are based on Irish law in effect as at the date of this Base Prospectus. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to Irish law or administrative practice after the date of this Base Prospectus. Denomination of Payments made by DTC DTC is only able to make payments in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, where the Specified Currency of an issue of Securities is not U.S. dollars, DTC will make payments of interest and principal to beneficial holders in respect of the Global 144A Security representing that issue in U.S. dollars unless, pursuant to the Agency Agreement and not less than 15 days prior to each Interest Payment Date, the holder of such beneficial interests notifies DTC or its nominee that it has elected to receive payments in the relevant Specified Currency outside of DTC and provided bank account details into which such payments are to be made. Exchange rate fluctuations between the Specified Currency and the U.S. dollar may reduce the U.S. dollar amount of interest and/or principal received by holders of beneficial interests in any such Global Rule 144A Security held in DTC. Risks related to Securities Irish Asset Covered Security Legislation Untested The Act was passed in 2001 and came into effect on 22nd March, The protection afforded to the Security holders by means of a preference on the Cover Assets included in the Issuer s Pool is based only on the Act. As at 31 December 2004, approximately EUR 30.9 billion of asset covered securities were outstanding, which included EUR 5 billion of asset covered securities issued by the Issuer in benchmark transactions, as well as asset covered securities issued by two other issuers. Nevertheless, there is still only limited practical experience in relation to the operation of the Act with respect to designated credit institutions (including the Issuer) registered under the Act. Market for Asset Covered Securities There is currently a limited existing secondary or other market for Asset Covered Securities issued under the Act, and there is limited existing liquidity in Asset Covered Securities. No assurance can be given as to the continuation or effectiveness of any market-making activity or as to whether any secondary market or liquidity may develop with respect to the Securities. Sharing of Pool The Cover Assets included in the Issuer s Pool benefit not only the holders of the Securities, but also other preferred creditors of the Issuer. These preferred creditors are all other holders of the Issuer s Asset Covered Securities whether outstanding now or in the future, counterparties under cover assets hedge contracts now and in the future provided that such counterparties fulfil their financial obligations under the relevant cover assets hedge contracts, the Monitor and any manager appointed to the Issuer whether now or in the future (see Insolvency of Institutions). None of the Cover Assets in the Issuer s Pool are or will be exclusively available to meet the claims of the holders of the Securities ahead of such other preferred creditors of the Issuer now or in the future. Risks related to the market generally The secondary market generally Although application has been made to list the Debt Obligations on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and to admit the Debt Obligations to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange, Debt Obligations may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does FR:

17 develop, it may not be very liquid. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Debt Obligations easily or at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. This is particularly the case for Debt Obligations that are especially sensitive to interest rate, currency or market risks, are designed for specific investment objectives or strategies or have been structured to meet the investment requirements of limited categories of investors. These types of Debt Obligations generally would have a more limited secondary market and more price volatility than conventional debt securities. Illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market value of Debt Obligations. Interest rate risks Investment in Fixed Rate Debt Obligations involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the Fixed Rate Debt Obligations. Credit ratings may not reflect all risks One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Debt Obligations. The ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above, and other factors that may affect the value of the Debt Obligations. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time. Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1) Debt Obligations are legal investments for it, (2) Debt Obligations can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Debt Obligations. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Debt Obligations under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules FR:

19 General ISSUE PROCEDURES The Issuer and the relevant Dealer will agree on the terms and conditions applicable to each Tranche of Debt Obligations (the Conditions). The applicable Final Terms will specify whether these Conditions are to be Long- Form Conditions or Integrated Conditions (each as described below): Long-Form Conditions will generally be used for Debt Obligations which are not publicly offered in Germany. Integrated Conditions will be required where the Debt Obligations are to be publicly offered in Germany, in whole or in part, or are to be distributed, in whole or in part, to non-professional investors in Germany. Long-Form Conditions If the applicable Final Terms specifies that Long-Form Conditions are to apply to the Debt Obligations, the provisions of the applicable Final Terms and the Terms and Conditions, taken together, shall constitute the Conditions. Such Conditions will be constituted as follows: the Terms and Conditions will be modified, supplemented or replaced by the text of any provisions of the applicable Final Terms modifying, supplementing or replacing, in whole or in part, the provisions of the Terms and Conditions; and alternative or optional provisions of the Terms and Conditions as to which the corresponding provisions of the applicable Final Terms are not completed or are deleted will be deemed to be deleted from the Conditions. Where Long-Form Conditions apply, each Global Debt Obligation representing the Debt Obligations of the relevant Series will have the applicable Final Terms attached. Where Definitive Debt Obligations are issued they will have endorsed thereon the applicable Final Terms and the Terms and Conditions in full. Integrated Conditions If the applicable Final Terms specifies that Integrated Conditions are to apply to the Debt Obligations, the Conditions in respect of such Debt Obligations will be constituted as follows: all non-applicable provisions of the Terms and Conditions will be deleted; and the Terms and Conditions will be otherwise modified, supplemented or replaced, in whole or in part as specified in the applicable Final Terms. Where Integrated Conditions apply, the Integrated Conditions alone will constitute the Conditions. The Integrated Conditions will be attached to each Global Debt Obligation representing Debt Obligations of the relevant Series and will be endorsed on any Definitive Debt Obligations issued FR:

20 FORM OF THE DEBT OBLIGATIONS The Debt Obligations of each Series will be in either bearer form, with or without interest coupons attached, or registered form, without interest coupons attached. Bearer Debt Obligations will be issued outside the United States to non-u.s. persons in reliance on Regulation S. Registered Securities may be issued both outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S and within the United States in reliance on Rule 144A or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Registered Notes will only be issued outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S unless appropriate amendments are made to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes in the applicable Final Terms permitting Registered Notes to be issued within the United States. Bearer Debt Obligations Each Tranche of Bearer Securities will be issued in the form of either a temporary bearer global security (a Temporary Bearer Global Security) or a permanent bearer global security (a Permanent Bearer Global Security) and each Tranche of Bearer Notes will be initially issued in the form of either a temporary bearer global note (a Temporary Bearer Global Note and, together with a Temporary Bearer Global Security, the Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligations) or a permanent bearer global note (a Permanent Bearer Global Note and, together with a Permanent Bearer Global Security, the Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligations) as indicated in the applicable Final Terms, which, in any case, will be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common depositary (the Common Depositary) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg). Whilst any Bearer Debt Obligation is represented by a Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation, payments of principal, interest (if any) and any other amount payable in respect of the Debt Obligations due prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below) will be made against presentation of the Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation only to the extent that certification (in a form to be provided) to the effect that the beneficial owners of interests in such Bearer Debt Obligation are not U.S. persons or persons who have purchased for resale to any U.S. person, as required by U.S. Treasury regulations, has been received by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, has given a like certification (based on the certifications it has received) to the Principal Paying Agent. On and after the date (the Exchange Date) which is 40 days after a Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation is issued, interests in such Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation will be exchangeable (free of charge) as described therein either for (i) interests in a Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligation of the same Series or (ii) for definitive Bearer Debt Obligations of the same Series with, where applicable, receipts, interest coupons and talons attached (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and subject, in the case of definitive Bearer Debt Obligations, to such notice period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms), in each case against certification of beneficial ownership as described above unless such certification has already been given, provided that purchasers in the United States and certain U.S. persons will not be able to receive definitive Bearer Debt Obligations. The holder of a Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation will not be entitled to collect any payment of interest, principal or other amount due on or after the Exchange Date unless, upon due certification, exchange of the Temporary Bearer Global Debt Obligation for an interest in a Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligation or for definitive Bearer Debt Obligations is improperly withheld or refused. Payments of principal, interest (if any) or any other amounts on a Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligation will be made through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of the Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligation without any requirement for certification. The applicable Final Terms will specify that a Permanent Bearer Global Debt Obligation will be exchangeable (free of charge), in whole but not in part, for definitive Bearer Debt Obligations with, where applicable, receipts, interest coupons and talons attached only upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event. For these purposes, Exchange Event means: (A) in the case of the Securities that the Issuer has been notified that both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor clearing system is available; and (B) in the case of the Notes that: (i) an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 8 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) has occurred and is continuing; FR:
