PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with effect from such date, should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (the "PRI Ps Regulation") for offering or
sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UNITED KINGDOM RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with effect from such date, should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/565
as it forms part of domestic law of the UK by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (i ) a customer
within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Authority ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made
under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in

qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the UK by virtue of the
EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of
the UK by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRI Ps Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has
led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined
in MiFID II; and (ii) al channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the

to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

(1)
(A)

(2)
whether or not it is subject to the Regulations, it wil not:

Regulation); or

(B)

(4)
it wil at al times comply with al applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA or
the UK) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), including
(without limitation) MiFID II, UK Delegated Regulation and any other such laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating
to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) by
investors in any relevant jurisdiction.
Each prospective investor further acknowledges that:
(1)
the identified target market for the Notes (for the purposes of the product governance obligations in MiFID II or UK
Delegated Regulation), taking into account the five categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by ESMA on
February 5, 2018, is eligible counterparties and professional clients only;
(2)
no key information document (KID) under the PRIIPs Regulation has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation;
and
5


(3)
no key information document (KID) under the UK PRIIPs Regulation has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase,
any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the Managers the foregoing representations, warranties,
agreements and undertakings wil be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.
