In certain circumstances (including at the Note Issuer's option, if applicable, or for reasons of illegality or as a result of a change in law or hedging disruption) the Notes may be redeemed early. In such cases, the amount payable will be an amount in cash which shall be the market value of a Note adjusted to take into account any costs, losses or expenses which are incurred (or are expected to be incurred) by (or on behalf of) the Note Issuer in connection with the early redemption or cancellation of the Notes (including (without duplication or limitation) hedging termination and funding breakage costs (whether actual or notional)), all as determined by the Note Determination Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Warrants cannot be delivered through the clearing systems because of a continuing Settlement Disruption Event, the Note Issuer may deliver the Warrants in another commercially reasonable manner or may instead pay an amount in cash representing the fair market value of the Warrant less the cost to the Note Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying hedging arrangements, all as determined by the Note Determination Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. In the case of an early termination, the Noteholder will not receive the full benefit of any increase in the Index that takes place after the early termination and before the Election Valuation Date.
It is also possible that the Warrants could be terminated early for reasons of illegality. In such a case, the Warrant Issuer will pay to each Warrantholder an amount in respect of each Warrant held by such holder, which amount shall be the market value of a Warrant notwithstanding such illegality adjusted to take into account any costs, losses or expenses which are incurred (or are expected to be incurred) by (or on behalf of) the Warrant Issuer in connection with the cancellation of the Warrants (including (without duplication or limitation) hedging termination and funding breakage costs (whether actual or notional)) plus, if already paid by or on behalf of the Warrantholder, the Warrant Exercise Price, all as determined by the Warrant Determination Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Preference Shares are to be delivered through the clearing systems and cannot be so delivered because of a continuing Settlement Disruption Event, BCCL may deliver the Preference Shares in another commercially reasonable manner or may instead pay an amount in cash representing the fair market value of the Preference Share less the cost to the Warrant Issuer and/or its Affiliates of unwinding any underlying hedging arrangements, all as determined by the Warrant Determination Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.
Investors should note that the Note Determination Agent and the Warrant Determination Agent are entities in the same group as the Note Issuer and the Warrant
Issuer, respectively, and may therefore be subject to conflicts of interest in performing their respective duties under the Notes and the Warrants.
