Voting Instructions: A holder of an interest in the Class A2 Note may request that the registered holder of the Class A2 Note vote in accordance with the instructions of such holder. Any effective submission of a voting instruction made by the holder of an interest in a Class A2 Note will only be binding on the registered holder if such instructions are received from a direct accountholder of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (each such direct accountholder, an Accountholder), as the case may be, by the transmission of an electronic instruction in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. Therefore, a holder of an interest in a Class A2 Note which is not an Accountholder must arrange, either directly or indirectly, through its broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee to contact the Accountholder through which it holds such interests in order to procure delivery of such voting instruction via Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, to the registered holder. Accountholders are requested to respond to this notice by no later than 6 June 2008.
Each Accountholder who delivers voting instructions via Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, is requested to disclose its identity to the Registrar, the Trustee and the Issuer.
In accordance with normal practice, the Trustee expresses no opinion as to the merits of the Rating Removal. The Trustee has not been involved in drafting the Written Resolution and makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to the Noteholders in or pursuant to this Notice.
