with his instructions.
A Noteholder must request the relevant clearing system to block the Notes in his
own account and to hold the same to the order or under the control of a Paying
Agent not later than five days before the time appointed for holding the Meeting

Agent to be held to its order or under its control.
The quorum required at the Meeting is one or more persons present holding voting
certificates or being proxies and representing in the aggregate not less than

such an adjourned Meeting will be one or more persons present holding voting
certificates or being proxies whatever the principal amount of the Notes so
