- $\mathcal{C}$ is the maximum number of Units which may be issued or otherwise made available upon conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the modified conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate but giving credit in such manner as a Valuer, selected by the Issuer shall, acting as an expert, consider appropriate for any previous adjustment under this Condition 7.9 or Condition 7.8 above.

7.13 Final Adjustment Figure
On the Exercise Date in respect of any Option exercised, the Strike Price will, in addition to any other adjustment effected under this Condition 7, be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

where:
- is the Strike Price adjusted under this Condition 7.13 ASP
- $SP$ is what the Strike Price would otherwise be on that Exercise Date
- is the aggregate amount per Unit of Distributions (other than Capital AD. Distributions) paid by the Issuer in respect of a Unit to Members in respect of the Distribution Period occurring immediately before the Distribution Period ending on the Distribution Period End Date occurring immediately before that Exercise Date, or, if before that Exercise Date the Issuer has publicly announced the amount of Distribution per Unit (other than Capital Distributions) it will pay on the next occurring date for Distributions in respect of the Distribution Period ending on the Distribution Period End Date occurring immediately before that Exercise Date occurs, the amount of that publicly announced Distribution (other than Capital Distributions) per Unit;
- $\mathbf{D}$ is the number of days from (but excluding) that Exercise Date back to (and including) the Distribution Period Commencement Date for the Distribution Period in which the Exercise Date occurs: and

$7.15$ Application for certain Conditions
For the purpose of any calculation of the consideration receivable or price pursuant to Condition 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9, the following provisions shall apply:

- if the consideration determined pursuant to (a) or (b) above (or any $(c)$ component thereof) shall be or are expressed in currency other than Dollars it shall be converted into Dollars at such rate of exchange as may be determined in good faith by a Valuer selected by the Issuer to be the
spot rate ruling at the close of business on the date of the first public announcement of the terms of issue of such securities, divided by the number of Units to be issued upon such conversion or exchange or exercise at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate; and
in determining consideration pursuant to the above no deduction shall be $(d)$ made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting or placing or management of the issue of relevant Units or otherwise in connection therewith.

$7.17$ Decision of Valuer
