Deposit of Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures, voting certificates and block voting instructions: The Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures may, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting, be deposited with any Existing Paying Agent or (to its satisfaction) held to its order or under its control for the purpose of: (i) obtaining voting certificates from such Existing Paying Agent; or (ii) instructing such Existing Paying Agent to complete a block voting instruction in respect of such Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures appointing a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Bearer Debentureholder. A Bearer Debentureholder will need to give such voting instructions (such voting instructions being neither revocable nor capable of amendment by the Debentureholder during the period commencing 48 hours prior to the time for which the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting is convened and ending at the conclusion or adjournment of such Meeting or adjourned Meeting) in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (if the relevant Existing 2028 Debentures are held in either such clearing system) or on a voting instruction form obtainable from the specified office of the Existing Paying Agent, to any Existing Paying Agent, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting, to enable such Existing Paying Agent to complete the block voting instruction. Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures so deposited or held will not be released: (i) Voting certificates: in the case of Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures in respect of which a voting certificate has been issued, until the first to occur of: (a) the conclusion of the Meeting specified in such certificate or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting (whichever is the later); and (b) the surrender of the certificate to the Existing Paying Agent who issued the certificate; (ii) Block voting instructions: in the case of Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures in respect of which a block voting instruction has been issued, until the first to occur of: (a) the conclusion of the Meeting specified in such block voting instruction or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting (whichever is the later); and (b) the surrender to the Existing Paying Agent not less than 48 hours before the time for which such Meeting or adjourned Meeting is convened of the receipt issued by such Existing Paying Agent in respect of each such deposited Bearer 2028 Debenture which is to be released or the Bearer 2028 Debenture(s) ceasing with the agreement of the Existing Paying Agent to be held to its order or under its control and the giving of notice from the Existing Paying Agent to the Company of the necessary amendment to the block voting instruction. A holder whose Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures are held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg who wishes to obtain a voting certificate or give a voting instruction instructing an Existing Paying Agent to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting on his or her behalf should not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Meeting and within the relevant time limit specified by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, request the relevant Clearing System to block his or her Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures in his or her own account and hold the same to the order or under the control of an Existing Paying Agent. A holder whose Bearer Existing 2028 Debentures have been so blocked will thus be able to obtain a voting certificate from, or procure that a voting instruction is given in accordance with the procedures of, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to an Existing Paying Agent. Existing 2028 Debentures so blocked will be released in accordance with the procedures set out above and in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. 4.

Deposit of Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures, voting certificates and block voting instructions: The Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures may, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting, be deposited with any Existing Paying Agent or (to its satisfaction) held to its order or under its control for the purpose of: (i) obtaining voting certificates from such Existing Paying Agent; or (ii) instructing such Existing Paying Agent to complete a block voting instruction in respect of such Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures appointing a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Bearer Debentureholder. A Bearer Debentureholder will need to give such voting instructions (such voting instructions being neither revocable nor capable of amendment by the Debentureholder during the period commencing 48 hours prior to the time for which the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting is convened and ending at the conclusion or adjournment of such Meeting or adjourned Meeting) in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (if the relevant Existing 2035 Debentures are held in either such clearing system) or on a voting instruction form obtainable from the specified office of the Existing Paying Agent, to any Existing Paying Agent, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjourned Meeting, to enable such Existing Paying Agent to complete the block voting instruction. Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures so deposited or held will not be released: (i) Voting certificates: in the case of Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures in respect of which a voting certificate has been issued, until the first to occur of: (a) the conclusion of the Meeting specified in such certificate or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting (whichever is the later); and (b) the surrender of the certificate to the Existing Paying Agent who issued the certificate; (ii) Block voting instructions: in the case of Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures in respect of which a block voting instruction has been issued, until the first to occur of: (a) the conclusion of the Meeting specified in such block voting instruction or any meeting held following any adjournment of any such Meeting (whichever is the later); and (b) the surrender to the Existing Paying Agent not less than 48 hours before the time for which such Meeting or adjourned Meeting is convened of the receipt issued by such Existing Paying Agent in respect of each such deposited Bearer 2035 Debenture which is to be released or the Bearer 2035 Debenture(s) ceasing with the agreement of the Existing Paying Agent to be held to its order or under its control and the giving of notice from the Existing Paying Agent to the Company of the necessary amendment to the block voting instruction. A holder whose Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures are held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg who wishes to obtain a voting certificate or give a voting instruction instructing an Existing Paying Agent to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting on his or her behalf should not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Meeting and within the relevant time limit specified by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, request the relevant Clearing System to block his or her Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures in his or her own account and hold the same to the order or under the control of an Existing Paying Agent. A holder whose Bearer Existing 2035 Debentures have been so blocked will thus be able to obtain a voting certificate from, or procure that a voting instruction is given in accordance with the procedures of, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to an Existing Paying Agent. Existing 2035 Debentures so blocked will be released in accordance with the procedures set out above and in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. 4.
