broker or dealer and either of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their

affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction,

such offer to tender for purchase shall be deemed to be made by such Joint

Dealer Manager or such affiliate,as the case may be, on behalf of the

Purchaser in such jurisdiction.

In addition to the representations referred to above in respect of the

United States, each Noteholder participating in the Offer will be deemed to

give certain representations in respect of the other jurisdictions referred

to above and generally as set out in "Procedures for Participating in the

Offer" of the Tender Offer Memorandum. Any tender of Notes for purchase

pursuant to the Offer from a Noteholder that is unable to make these

representations may be rejected. Each of the Purchaser, the Joint Dealer

Managers and the Tender Agent reserves the right, in their absolute

discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Notes for purchase

pursuant to the Offer, whether any such representation given by a

Noteholder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a

result the Purchaser determines (for any reason) that such representation

is not correct, such tender or submission may be rejected.
