may be required to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Noteholders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the relevant Note in the absence of the withholding or deduction, subject to various exceptions as set out in the Conditions. Final Redemption Mandatory Early Redemption Early Redemption at the Noteholder's Option Early Redemption at the Issuer's Option Early Redemption for Taxation Reasons Purchase of the Note Upon Early Redemption or Purchase of the Note Unless previously redeemed in full or purchased and cancelled, each Note will be redeemed at its then current outstanding Principal Amount as of the First Maturity Date in respect of the First Note and the Second Maturity Date in respect of the Second Note. The Issuer will redeem all, but not part only, of a Note upon the occurrence of an acceleration of a Repurchase Agreement or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under a Repurchase Agreement (as defined therein). At the option of the Noteholder, the Issuer may redeem all, but not part only, of the First Note on any anniversary of the First Issue Date commencing on and including 23 December 2007 and may redeem all, but not part only, of the Second Note on any anniversary of the Issue Date commencing on (and including) 23 December 2008.

The Issuer may purchase either of the Notes in accordance with Condition 11.3 (Purchases). In the event of a redemption of the Notes in whole prior to the First Maturity Date or Second Maturity Date, as the case may be, for any reason or purchase of the Notes in whole or in part thereof by the Issuer, the Notes will be redeemed or purchased at the relevant Early Redemption Amount as calculated in the Conditions and the Security Trustee, acting on behalf of the Issuer, shall take such action as required including arranging for the termination of the First Repurchase Agreement or Second Repurchase Agreement, as the case may be (such termination to be proportionate in the case of a purchase of less than all of a Note) and, if necessary, arranging for the liquidation of any other Mortgaged Property and all amounts received upon redemption, sale and/or, as the case may be, liquidation of the Mortgaged Property shall be applied in accordance with the priorities of payment set out in the Deed of Charge. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 7

Mortgaged Property The Notes are secured by a Deed of Charge originally dated 23 December 2005 as amended and restated on 7 February 2006 and as further amended and restated on 23 October 2006 made between the Issuer and the Security Trustee, pursuant to which the Issuer has granted security over the following principal assets: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) by way of fixed charge, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future) in and to the Securities and all sums derived therefrom; by way of assignment, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future) in, to and under a first repurchase agreement dated 23 December 2005 (the First Repurchase Agreement) and a second repurchase agreement dated 23 October 2006 (the Second Repurchase Agreement and together with the First Repurchase Agreement the Repurchase Agreements) between the Issuer and the Seller; by way of assignment, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future), in, to and over the Accounts (as defined below); by way of assignment, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future) in, to and under the other Transaction Documents; by way of assignment, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future) in, to and over all sums held by the Fiscal Agent to meet payments due in respect of the Notes; by way of assignment, the Issuer's right, title, interest and benefit (present and future) in, to and over the proceeds receivable by or on behalf of the Issuer on the sale, termination or liquidation of any of the Mortgaged Property; and by way of floating charge, over the whole of the Issuer's undertakings and all the Issuer's property and assets other than property specified in (i) through (vi) above, as assigned as security or charged. Securities The securities are 8,888,889 units (in respect of the First Repurchase Agreement) and 7,179,487 units (in respect of the Second Repurchase Agreement) in The Berkeley Group Holdings plc (Bloomberg code BKG LN Equity and ISIN GB00B02L3W35) (the Units), listed on the London Stock Exchange and are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Each Unit is comprised of one ordinary share, one 2006 B Share, one 2008 B share and one 2010 B Share, which securities do not trade separately. The ordinary share within each Unit is an ordinary share and as such does not have a specified maturity date. The Units may be replaced with transferable securities (the Substituted Securities) subject to agreement between the Seller (as defined in the Repo Transactions), the Issuer and the Security Trustee. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 8

Securities equivalent to the Units or the Substituted Securities may be transferred subject to the terms of the Repurchase Agreements (the Margin Securities). As of any day, the Securities comprise the Units, or as the case may be, Margin Securities, including any Substituted Securities, transferred to the Issuer and not transferred back prior to such date, nor due on such date to be transferred back, to the counterparty under the Repurchase Agreements. All instruments comprising, evidencing ownership, representing and/or transferring the Securities will be deposited with or held by the Securities Custodian or as the Security Trustee may otherwise direct. Enforcement of Security Early Redemption Event Order of Priority The Security Trustee has been appointed to act as trustee in connection with the Mortgaged Property. At any time following the determination by the Agent Bank that an Event of Default has occurred (as set out in the Conditions) (an Enforcement Event), the Security Trustee may at its discretion and without further notice take such proceedings and other actions as it may think fit to enforce the security over the Mortgaged Property. From and including the time at which notice has been served specifying an Early Redemption Event or the Issuer and the Noteholder have agreed to purchase the Notes, but prior to the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, all amounts held in the Accounts will be applied by the Security Trustee or receiver in the following priority, provided that amounts shall be paid only if and to the extent that payments of a higher order of priority have been made or provisioned for in full: (a) (b) (c) first, on a pari passu and pro rata basis to the Noteholder to pay the Early Redemption Amount applicable to the First Note and the Early Redemption Amount applicable to the Second Note; second, to the Security Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Issuer under the Deed of Charge; and third, to fulfil the Issuer's obligations to transfer equivalent margin securities and cash margin to under the Repurchase Agreements. Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments After the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the net proceeds of enforcement of the security over the Mortgaged Property received or recovered by the Security Trustee or receiver shall be held by it on trust to be transferred to the Fiscal Agent in order to be applied (save to the extent otherwise required by law) in the following order, provided that amounts shall be paid only if and to the extent that payments of higher priority have been made in full: (a) (b) first, to the Noteholder to pay the Early Redemption Amount applicable to the First Notes and to the Second Note; and second, to the Security Trustee, in respect of the obligations of the Issuer under the Deed of Charge. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 9

First Note and Second Note Guarantees Limited Recourse Registration and Transfer of Notes Listing and Trading Governing Law The Noteholder will be entitled to the benefit of a guarantee in respect of the First Note (the First Note Guarantee) and a guarantee in respect of the Second Note (the Second Note Guarantee) issued by the Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantor under the First Note Guarantee and the Second Note Guarantee constitute direct, unconditional and secured obligations of the Guarantor and rank and will continue to rank pari passu with all outstanding senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantor, but in the event of the insolvency of the Guarantor, only to the extent permitted by applicable laws relating to creditors' rights. Each Note is a limited recourse obligation. Payments on a Note will be made only if and to the extent of funds received or recovered on the Mortgaged Property. After realisation of the Mortgaged Property, a Noteholder shall not take any further steps against the Issuer or any of its assets to recover any sums due to it from the Issuer from time to time but still unpaid. All claims in respect of such sums due but unpaid shall then be extinguished. All transfers of a Note and entries on the Noteholder's register will be made subject to the detailed regulations concerning transfer of the Note in the Agency Agreement. A Noteholder may not request the transfer of a Note to be registered during the period of 15 days ending on the due date for any payment of principal, premium or interest on a Note, and if such a request is made during this period, the transfer will be registered only after such due date. Application has been made to IFSRA, as competent authority under the Prospectus Directive for the Prospectus to be approved. Application has been made for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and trading on its regulated market. There is currently no market for the Notes and no assurance can be given that such a market will develop. The Transaction Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales. Transaction Documents (a) the Notes (together with the Conditions); (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) the Agency Agreement; the Deed of Charge; the First Note Guarantee and the Second Note Guarantee; the First Repurchase Agreement and the Second Repurchase Agreement; the Custody Agreement; and the Subscription Agreement. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 10

RISK FACTORS Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and investment considerations, in addition to the matters set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, prior to investing in the Notes. The Notes involve a degree of risk and are suitable only for sophisticated investors who have the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to enable them to evaluate the risks and the merits of an investment in the Notes. The Notes have been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor. Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of Notes should consider carefully, in the light of their own financial circumstances and investment objectives, all the information set forth in this Prospectus and, in particular, the considerations set forth below. Investor Suitability Suitability Prospective purchasers of the Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk, that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and access to professional advisers to make their own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of investment in the Notes and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in light of their own circumstances and financial condition. Early Redemption and Purchase The Notes may be subject to mandatory early redemption in certain circumstances, including upon the occurrence of an acceleration of the Repurchase Agreements, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Conditions. At the option of the relevant Noteholder, the Issuer may redeem the First Note in full (but not in part) on any anniversary of the First Issue Date commencing on and including 23 December 2007 and the Second Note in full (but not in part) on any anniversary of the Issue Date commencing on (and including) 23 December 2008. The Issuer may, at its own option, redeem the First Note in full (but not in part) on any anniversary of the First Issue Date commencing on and including 23 December 2006 and/or the Second Note on any anniversary of the Issue Date commencing on (and including) 23 December 2007 and may redeem the Notes at any time for tax reasons pursuant to Condition 11.2 (Early Redemption for Taxation Reasons). Each such early redemption shall be made at the Early Redemption Amount provided that no Event of Default (as defined under the Conditions) has occurred. Withholding Tax on the Notes Although, given that the First Note has already been listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and on the assumption that the Second Note is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, no withholding tax is currently imposed on payments of interest on the Notes, there can be no assurance that the law will not change. If any withholding tax is imposed on payments of interest on the Notes as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, the Issuer may be required to gross-up payment to a Noteholder subject to various exceptions as set out in the Conditions. In such circumstances a Note may be redeemed in whole (but not in part) by the Issuer if such withholding tax cannot reasonably be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to them. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 11

Relating to the Security The obligations of the Issuer to a Noteholder are secured by way of a deed of charge (the Deed of Charge), which includes the Issuer's rights, title and interest over the Securities and all sums derived therefrom. The market value of the Securities may be volatile and will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, international political events, developments or trends in any particular industry. A decrease in the market value of the Securities would adversely affect the proceeds of sale that could be obtained upon the sale of the Securities, and could ultimately affect the ability of the Issuer to pay amounts outstanding following the occurrence of an Event of Default. Failure of the Repo Counterparty The Securities are the subject of the Repurchase Agreements. A default or failure of the Repo Counterparty to fulfil its obligations to the Issuer under the Repurchase Agreements (including failure to make any payment or provide the margin transfer amount as set out in the Repurchase Agreements) will decrease the amount of cash available to the Issuer to make payments on each Note and therefore may result in a default in the amount due on each Note, or result in a smaller amount of security being available under the Deed of Charge. Relating to the Guarantee Each Note is a guaranteed obligation. The likelihood of payment of the guaranteed amounts will depend upon the creditworthiness of the Guarantor. Consequently, a Noteholder is relying on the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the creditworthiness of the Guarantor to perform its obligations under the Guarantee. The insolvency of the Guarantor may adversely affect the likelihood of a Noteholder recovering scheduled payments of principal and interest under each of the Notes. Limited Recourse The Notes are limited recourse obligations. Payments on the Notes will be made only if and to the extent of funds received or recovered on the Mortgaged Property. After realisation of the Mortgaged Property, a Noteholder is not entitled to take any further steps against the Issuer or any of its assets to recover any sums due to it from the Issuer from time to time but still unpaid. All claims in respect of such sums then due but unpaid shall be extinguished. No Reliance A Noteholder may not rely on the Issuer or any Transaction Party in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Notes or as to the other matters referred to in these Risk Factors. Neither the Issuer nor any of the Transaction Parties is acting as an investment adviser, or assumes any fiduciary obligation, to any investor in the Notes. A Noteholder may not rely on the views or advice of the Issuer for any information in relation to any person other than the Issuer itself. Independent Review Each Noteholder is responsible for making its own investment decision and its own independent appraisal of and investigation into the risks associated with investing in the Notes. Neither the Issuer nor any of the Transaction Parties will have any responsibility or duty to make any such investigations, to keep any such matters under review or to provide the investors with any information in relation to such matters or to advise as to the attendant risks. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 12

Limited Liquidity There is currently no market for the Notes, and there can be no assurance that a secondary market for the Notes will develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will provide the holder of the Notes with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the life of either of the Notes. Neither the Issuer nor its affiliates are required to make a market in the Notes. In the event that the Issuer or any of its affiliates commences any market making, it may discontinue doing so at any time without notice. Consequently, a prospective purchaser of either of the Notes must be prepared to hold such Note for an indefinite period of time or until the redemption or maturity of such Note. The First Note has been admitted to the official list of the Irish Stock Exchange. Application has been made for the Second Note to be admitted to the official list of the Irish Stock Exchange. 33668-00732 ICM:3477430.8 13
