Interest" which is a variable percentage rate per annum namely 3 month
$JIBAR + 6.50$ per cent.
The Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes for a given Interest Period will
be calculated by the Calculation Agent by reference to quotations provided
electronically by banks in the "Relevant Financial Centre" (since "Screen
Rate Determination" applies) and the addition of an additional percentage
rate per annum.
In order to calculate the Interest Amount payable per Note, the Calculation
Agent applies the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period to the Calculation
Amount and multiplies the product by the Day Count Fraction.
Payments of Principal: The Notes will be redeemed at par.
If a coupon deferral event occurs (being the suspension, deferral, or
cessation of an interest payment, or adjustment in the frequency of interest
payments) in relation to the coupon reference obligation, being
XS0632932538, the Issuer may defer or reduce the interest payments due
under the Notes to the same extent of the deferral or reduction in the interest
payments on the coupon reference obligation, for so long as the coupon
deferral event in respect of the coupon reference obligation is continuing.
Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the "Trustee") has entered into a trust
deed with the Issuer in connection with the programme, under which it has
agreed to act as trustee for the Noteholders.

Section D - Risks
D.2 Risks specific
to the issuer:
In relation to Public Offers of the Notes, the Notes are designed for
investors who are or have access to a suitably qualified independent
financial adviser or who have engaged a suitably qualified discretionary
investment manager, in order to understand the characteristics and risks
associated with structured financial products.
The following are the key risks applicable to the Issuer:
The Issuer's businesses, earnings ard financial condition may be affected
by the instability in the global financial markets The performance of the
Issuer may be influenced by the economic conditions of the countries in which
it operates, particularly the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The precise nature of all the risks and uncertainties the Issuer faces as a result
of current economic conditions cannot be predicted and many of these risks are
outside the control of the Issuer and materialisation of such risks may
adversely affect the Issuer's financial condition and results of operations.
The Issuer's business performance could be affected if its capital resources
and liquidity are not managed effectively
The Issuer's capital and liquidity is critical to its ability to operate its
businesses, to grow organically and to take advantage of strategic
opportunities. The Issuer mitigates capital and liquidity risk by careful
management of its balance sheet, through, for example, capital and other fund-
raising activities, disciplined capital allocation, maintaining surplus liquidity
buffers and diversifying its funding sources. The Issuer is required by
regulators in jurisdictions in which it undertakes regulated activities, to
maintain adequate capital and liquidity. The maintenance of adequate capital
and liquidity is also necessary for the Issuer's financial flexibility in the face of
any turbulence and uncertainty in the global economy.
Extreme and unanticipated market circumstances may cause exceptional
changes in the Issuer's markets, products and other businesses. Any
exceptional changes, including, for example, substantial reductions in profits
and retained earnings as a result of write-downs or otherwise, delays in the
disposal of certain assets or the ability to access sources of liability, including
customer deposits and wholesale funding, as a result of these circumstances, or
otherwise, that limit the Issuer's ability effectively to manage its capital
resources could have a material adverse impact on the Issuer's profitability and
results. If such exceptional changes persist, the Issuer may not have sufficient
financing available to it on a timely basis or on terms that are favourable to it
to develop or enhance its businesses or services, take advantage of business
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.
Credit risk exposes the Issuer to losses caused by financial or other
problems experienced by its clients or other third parties
Risks arising from changes in credit quality and the recoverability of loans and
amounts due from counterparties are inherent in a wide range of the Issuer's
businesses. The Issuer is exposed to the risk that third parties that owe it
money, securities or other assets will not perform, or will be unable to perform,
their obligations which could adversely affect the Issuer's results of operations
or financial condition. These parties include clients, governments, trading or
reinsurance counterparties, clearing agents, exchanges, other financial
intermediaries or institutions, as well as issuers whose securities the Issuer
holds, who may default on their obligations to the Issuer due to bankruptcy,
lack of liquidity, operational failure, economic or political conditions or other
reasons. In addition, approximately one third of the Issuer's loan portfolio
comprises lending collateralised by property. There is no individual
concentration risk and there is little lending against speculative property
development. A deterioration in the property markets could affect the quality
Section D-Risks
of the Issuer's security relating to such loans and could negatively impact on
the level of impairments required to be recorded in the event that a borrower
defaults. The occurrence of such events has led and may lead to future
impairment charges and additional write-downs and losses for the Issuer. In
addition, the information that the Issuer uses to manage its credit risk may be
inaccurate or incomplete, leading to an inability on the part of the Issuer to
manage its credit risk effectively.
D.3 Risks specific
to
the
securities:
Series 134S are Secured Floating Rate Notes. ISDA Credit Linkage applies in
respect of the Notes.
Coupon Deferral: If a coupon deferral event occurs investors in the Notes
may not receive the full coupon due on the Notes, will not receive any
compensation for any delayed receipt of the coupon (or any part thereof), and
may never receive the coupon where the coupon continues to be deferred up to
the maturity of the Notes.
Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including
withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes.
Key risks specific to Secured Notes
Security may not be sufficient to meet all payments: Any net proceeds
realised upon enforcement of any security granted by the Issuer over a pool of
collateral ("Collateral Pool") will be applied in or towards satisfaction of the
claims of, among others, the security trustee and any appointee and/or receiver
appointed by the trustee in respect of the Secured Notes before the claims of
the holders of the relevant Secured Notes. Since the net enforcement proceeds
may not be sufficient to meet all payments in respect of the Secured Notes,
investors may suffer a loss on their investment.
Collateral Pool may secure more than one series of secured Notes: A
Collateral Pool may secure the Issuer's obligations with respect to more than
one series of Secured Notes and an event of default under the Notes with
respect to any one series of Secured Notes secured by such Collateral Pool may
trigger the early redemption of all other series that are secured by the same
Collateral Pool in order for the security over the entire Collateral Pool to be
enforced. Such cross-default may, among other things, result in losses being
incurred by holders of the Secured Notes which would not otherwise have
arisen.
Substitution of Posted Collateral: Collateral posted as security for the
Issuer's obligations under the Notes may, at the Issuer's request, be substituted
for other items of collateral "Eligible Collateral" provided that on the date of
transfer the value of the new collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of
the original collateral. Any such substitution request is subject to
(a) verification by the entity appointed as the verification agent
(the "Verification Agent") that the new
item
of
collateral
is.
Eligible Collateral; and (b) approval by the Trustee. However, neither
the Verification Agent nor the Trustee is obliged to confirm that the value of
the new item of Eligible Collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of the
original item of posted collateral. Following any such substitution, the market
value of the new item of Eligible Collateral may fall below the value of the
original item of posted collateral, and the net proceeds realised upon
enforcement of the relevant Collateral Pool may therefore be less than if no
such substitution had been made.
Key risks specific to Credit Linked Notes
Section D - Risks
Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of Old Mutual plc (the
"Reference Entity") (the "Credit Linked Notes"). If a Reference Entity
becomes subject to a Credit Event then the redemption price which would
otherwise be payable in respect of the portion of the Note linked to such
Reference Entity (the "Relevant Portion") will be reduced in accordance with
the Recovery Rate. There is a risk that an investor in the Credit Linked Notes
may receive considerably less than the amount paid by such investor. If one of
the Reference Entities become subject to a Credit Event an investor's return on
the Credit Linked Notes may be zero.
Specific Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes - ISDA Credit Linkage:
The redemption price payable on the Relevant Portion of the Notes following
the occurrence of a Credit Event in respect of a Reference Entity will be
determined by reference to the market value of specific reference obligation(s)
of the Reference Entity ("Recovery Rate"). There is a risk that the return
payable to an investor in a Credit Linked Notes may be different from the
return that investors would have received had they been holding that debt
instrument or another debt instrument issued by the specified Reference Entity.
