Many people tend to skip the small print. Please don’t. All investment involves risk.

We want you to be sure that you understand the particular risks involved here

and make a decision that is right for you in light of your personal circumstances.

If you are in any doubt about the action you should take or the contents of

this document, you should contact your professional adviser authorised by the

Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) to conduct investment business and who

specialises in advising on investments in shares, bonds and other securities,

including unlisted securities.

This document (the “Invitation” or “Invitation Document”) constitutes an invitation

to subscribe for secured bonds (“Providence Bonds”) issued by Providence Bonds

II PLC (the “Company”) on the terms and conditions set out in this Invitation.

Investors should not subscribe for any of the bonds referred to in this Invitation

Document except on the basis of the information published in this Invitation and

the instrument dated 19th June 2015 constituting the Providence Bonds of the

Company (the “Bond Instrument”) set out on page 24 onwards of this Invitation

Document.

Your attention is particularly drawn to the “Risk Factors” which are set out on

pages 16 and 17 of this Invitation. Prospective investors should consider carefully

whether an investment in Providence Bonds would be suitable for them in the

light of their personal circumstances. Providence Bonds are a secured debt of the

Company but are not freely transferable or negotiable on the capital markets and

no application is to be made for the Providence Bonds to be admitted to listing

or trading on any market.

Providence Bonds may not therefore be a suitable investment for all recipients of

this Invitation. Investment in unquoted securities of this nature, being an illiquid

investment, is speculative, involving a degree of risk. Other than in exceptional

circumstances, it will not be possible to sell or realise the Providence Bonds

before they mature or to obtain reliable information about the risks to which

they are exposed. Providence Bonds are a debt of the Company secured over all

of its assets and undertakings under a debenture constituting fixed and floating

charge security and guaranteed by the Company’s parent company, Providence

Global Ltd (‘Guarantor’). However, there can be no certainty or guarantee that any

realisation of such assets through the enforcement of such security or that the

enforcement of the guarantee will be sufficient to enable the Company, or as the

case may be, the Guarantor, to repay the Providence Bonds or the Company’s

liabilities thereunder.

The first Providence Bond closed on 27th February 2015. The capital raised has already been deployed to help finance small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and has produced a return on capital that more than covers the coupon payable to investors. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our new investors. When we launched the first Providence Bond we were not well known in the UK.

The number of requests for factoring capital from SMEs in the UK and internationally is ever-increasing, prompting the launch of a new four-year Mini Bond with a 7.5% annual coupon (paid quarterly), which launches on June 19th and closes on August 31st 2015. We are now getting established in the UK and have been able to efficiently deploy capital (with the same requirement that factoring customers have to provide collateral on the funding they receive). In our opinion, the coupon is an attractive rate of interest in an environment of low rates.

We can provide this attractive alternative to investors because factoring capital is continually recycled at relatively high interest rates. Whilst good news for investors it is also critical for SMEs who have been starved of working capital by a banking system that seems to have relinquished its responsibilities to lend crucial finance to growing businesses.

We founded Providence nearly ten years ago with the backing of our friends and family and it has grown into a global business with twenty-one offices in twelve territories across four continents. For nearly a decade now the Providence group has been raising capital from professional investors and the public to fund its commercial factoring operations. It currently has regulated entities in several jurisdictions and at no point has any Providence company missed an interest payment, dividend or repayment of principal.

Our purposeToday, many businesses around the world - perfectly good businesses - cannot raise the capital they need to succeed. Meanwhile, individuals are struggling to find a decent return on their savings. It would appear that the wider economy is starting to recover, business activity is increasing and there is renewed confidence among consumers and companies. However, an alternative to traditional banks is needed as they are just not lending as they used to and may not do so for the foreseeable future.

When SMEs sell goods or services to another company, they often have to wait 90 days or more for their invoice to be paid. This is a cash flow challenge which can limit expansion, investment and the creation of new jobs.

With the funds we raise, we buy the money the company is owed (in the form of its invoices) for a discounted amount of immediate cash. This releases money for the company to spend or reinvest. This is factoring and it is one of the oldest and most common forms of finance. Providence’s expertise and unblemished track record in factoring finance can deliver a solution to help businesses that are already successful break through their cash flow constraints to thrive and expand, while delivering significant returns to our investors.

We are essentially doing what the banks used to do - lending to successful businesses, which in turn create jobs and pay wages to staff who can then afford to save. It is a virtuous circle that we can recreate with your participation.

Our philosophyThere seems to be a view, particularly in financial services, that for one person to make a gain someone else has to suffer a loss; effectively saying people don’t matter.

I refuse to accept that. I spend my time working alongside businesses that are all about people and relationships. Successful and sustainable businesses value people - colleagues, clients and communities - and establish long-term, trusting relationships based on these values.

We intend to build something that lasts; all Providence companies adhere to a strong code of conduct and ethics, delivering value to those with whom they interact.

“The Providence companies share the rewards of our business success fairly with our partners and also give something back to the communities in which we operate.”

A word from the ChairmanWe can provide this attractive alternative to investors because factoring capital is continually recycled at relatively high interest rates.

A Mini BondThe Providence Bond is a Mini Bond, which is a type of loan to a company.

The company agrees to pay you a fixed rate of interest over a defined period of time (typically three to five years).

At the end of the period your money is repaid.

If a company defaults on a bond obligation, investors usually stand at the back of the queue with other unsecured debt holders.

A Providence Bond A Providence Bond is a Mini Bond with some interesting features. With any bond, there is a risk of not getting all your money back so Providence Bonds are secured over all of the assets and undertakings of the issuing company, present and future. This is done through a debenture with a fixed and floating charge security.

It means holders of Providence Bonds will stand ahead of other creditors and have primary access to the Company’s assets. However, it must be noted that certain creditors may take priority over the Providence Bondholders, such as receiver fees (if applicable).

Making your money work immediatelyWhilst we establish a greater presence in the factoring market in the UK, your money will be put to work immediately not only in the UK but also through the Providence group’s global factoring subsidiaries in existing in existing markets in Brazil, the US and Asia, generating the revenue to pay your interest.

Diversified InvestmentProvidence Bonds are used to fund the factoring operations of the Providence group. The group has operations in several areas (UK, US, Brazil and Asia) so that the factoring business is geographically diverse.Equally, the companies that take advantage of Providence’s

factoring operations are from different industries which means clients are economically diverse.

Factoring terms are usually between 1 and 18 months, with capital deployed being closely monitored so funding is continually returned and recycled ensuring the potential for enhanced returns from factoring operations.

The ProcessWhen you apply to invest in a Providence Bond (please refer to the section “How to invest in Providence Bonds”), you will be asked to complete the FCA compliance procedures and, subject to you completing them, you will have your own login details as a registered investor with IPM which will provide access to your personal e-wallet at GCS, the receiving agent.

Once your investment is accepted, you will receive an email confirmation, a ‘thank you’ letter by post and your investment will be recorded in your personal e-wallet with GCS so that you can confirm and monitor the details online at any time.

All investments are gathered between the Launch Date and the Closing Date. Once the Providence Bond is closed, investors will receive a certificate registering their ownership of a Providence Bond. This should be kept safely.

If you qualify for the Early Bird Offer, then your initial interest will be calculated and posted to your e-wallet on the Closing Date.

Each time a coupon is paid, it will be paid into your e-wallet so that you can see the transaction history of both your investment and your interest payments.

You may transfer accumulated interest from your e-wallet at any time (to your bank account or to make purchases).

Alternatively, you may elect to have your interest payments made directly to your bank (rather than to your e-wallet).

We invest in successful companies around the globe with proven assets. As bondholders you have security over all this collateral.

We have appointed IPM an FCA regulated and authorised organisation to act as Security Trustee.

Parent company, Providence Global Ltd, has assets in excess of £75m and guarantees the payment of both interest and capital.

Put simply, factoring is the practice of buying at a discount money that is owed to a company.

When an SME sells goods or services to another company, often a much larger one, it generally has to wait - perhaps 90 days or more - for its invoice to be paid. For some companies, particularly fast growing companies, that waiting time is too long; they need access to the cash more immediately to pay bills, to hire new staff, buy equipment and meet general working capital requirements.

With banks having severely restricted the flow of credit to SMEs, factoring offers a much-needed alternative source of working capital. The company in need of cash sells the invoice or post-dated cheque at a discount to a factoring company, such as Providence.

We will carry out due diligence to assess the creditworthiness of the company which owes the money. If we are happy that the debtor is creditworthy we will buy the debt, or a portion of it, for a sum that is below its face value. We will ask for security to reduce our risk of default, for instance against assets like property or valuable machinery

We work in partnership with our clients and always seek to resolve or restructure delayed payments when difficulties arise. It means the company that originally carried out the work gets the money it needs now - from us. We then receive the full value of the invoice or cheque when it is paid some time later.

A long history Factoring is not a new concept. It has been around for over 4,000 years. Its origins can be traced back to 2000BC in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) when merchants hired agents to buy goods abroad and gave them promissory notes (IOUs). In 14th century London, wool and cloth trading thrived on factoring and in more modern times the practice played an important role in the early 20th century US, when there were so many banks that most were too small to make significant loans to growing companies.

Factoring today Factoring is a huge global business today. In many countries it is a widely used method for businesses to borrow. In Brazil, for instance, where credit card interest rates can run to around 300% AER, factoring offers a competitive route to capital.

From a financier’s perspective factoring is low risk. You are not lending to a business hoping it will grow sufficiently to repay the debt. You are financing revenue that has already been earned and an invoice has been issued and accepted.

In an environment where the banks are refusing to lend, the factoring market has huge potential. We believe the UK is a

ripe market for this form of financing. Smaller businesses are the backbone of the UK economy and provide approximately 6 out of 10 of its private sector jobs. British Business Bank estimates only 2% of small businesses use invoice financing (factoring).

Providence has demonstrated its ability to deliver factoring successfully to SMEs in other countries. Now with the launch of Providence Bonds II PLC we can make it more readily available in the UK.

Once the receivables are collected from

the customers of the underlying businesses,

the cash is available to be used to purchase further

receivables.

Initially, security is taken over the cash raised from

the bond issue.

The cash raised is lent to a Providence factoring company and security

taken over the assets of the factoring company.

The factoring company purchases receivables at a discount from a diverse

number of carefully selected businesses. The businesses

selling the receivables additionally provide security

to the factoring company.

How secure areProvidence Bonds?The guarantor has assets in excess of £75m and guarantees the payment of both interest and capital

We have designed Providence Bonds to address many of the risks associated with Mini Bonds, but it is important to understand all investment involves risk.

Ring-fenced and secured Providence Bonds II PLC is a wholly-owned UK subsidiary of Providence Global Ltd and Bondholders have three levels of protection;

• the collateral inherent in the business of factoring itself;• there is a full parent guarantee of all liabilities to the

Bondholders; and• there is a debenture over all the assets of Providence

Bonds II PLC the Company, in favour of the Security Trustee.

Reducing business risk Factoring is itself a lower-risk means of financing to businesses as it is based on actual sales, not a hope, aspiration or projection of revenue in the future. Clients undergo rigorous due diligence and we demand security against the debt. In calculating discount rates, how much security and what portion of the invoice will be factored, Providence takes into account the size and creditworthiness of the institution that is paying the invoice or delivering the post-dated cheque. Bad debts can also ultimately be sold to specialist collection agencies.

Strong risk controls Providence has strong controls in place to alert the business to any repayment issues early on and where prudent, will have in place exit strategies to minimise the impact of defaults. Providence believes in the value of partnership, and works closely with the management teams of all of our global counterparties, providing introductions, sales channels, mentoring and sometimes even equity, in addition to our normal factoring services. We select our factoring partners based on credit and financial scores, but also on their competence and the experience of their executives.

Good management can be the most important element when a business is under stress, which is where Providence can usually add most value. Over the past four years, the average initial default rate across our global factoring business has been less than 2.5%. Default occurs when a payment due date has been missed or a debt has been rescheduled. However, as we select our factoring partners very carefully, and help where it is prudent, our global factoring business has not written off a single bad debt in our four years of operations. Of the over £50 million of capital that Providence has deployed across the global factoring operation, potential defaults were covered by a bad debt provision of 1.18% last year and we have provided 1.50% this year.

The Providence group was founded on money from friends and family, so every person who believes in our business and invests with us is treated with the same high regard. In the past decade, while the world has witnessed significant economic disruption, Providence has developed and refined many layers of security and safeguards to protect our investors and enshrine our franchise. We are proud of our near ten year unblemished record of meeting every coupon payment and the returning of every penny at maturity. Now that does not mean that events beyond our control will not affect us adversely in the future, but we have put in place and strenuously tested every reasonable means to protect both our investors and our SME partners.

The Providence Bonds benefit from a level of security not normally associated with this type of Mini Bond.

What are the risks I should consider?In addition to the other relevant information set out in this Invitation, the following specific risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating whether to make an investment in Providence Bonds. If you are in any doubt about the contents of this Invitation Document or the action you should take, you are strongly recommended to consult with a professional adviser who specialises in advising on investments in unlisted debt, shares and other securities.

The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) believe the following risks to be significant for potential investors. The risks listed, however, do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in Providence Bonds and are not intended to be presented in any assumed order or priority. In particular, the Company’s performance may be affected by changes in legal, regulatory and tax requirements as well as overall global financial conditions.

Illiquid and non-transferableInvestment in unquoted securities such as these (i.e. investments not listed or traded on any stock market or exchange) are illiquid. In other words, you cannot trade them, so your money is effectively locked in until the Repayment Date in four years’ time.

Only in the event of bankruptcy or death can you transfer the bond to someone else. These important exceptions are what allows the bond to be accepted within a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) or small self-administered scheme (SSAS). This does not mean all SIPP and SSAS providers will accept the Providence Bond, but it is worth enquiring of your provider.

Currently Mini Bonds are not allowable within an ISA wrapper. However, in the March 2015 budget, the UK government indicated that they might create Peer to Peer ISAs which may permit Mini Bonds to be included in an ISA.

No repayment guarantee It is intended that the Company will redeem the Providence Bonds four years from the date that the Providence Bonds are issued. There is, however, no guarantee that the Company or its Guarantor, can facilitate this redemption. There may be circumstances including legislative change or new and prohibitive tax regimes in which such capital realisation may not be successful.

There is no guarantee that you will get all your money back, or all outstanding interest, if the Company or the Guarantor becomes insolvent. Providence Bonds are not protected against loss by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Government action The impact of actions, inactions or retrospective legislation in jurisdictions in which Providence operates may adversely affect its activities.

Macro-economic risks Changes in the general economic outlook both in the UK and globally may impact the performance of the Company and its projects. Such changes may include (but are not limited to):

+ Contractions in the economiesin which we operate or increases in inflation resulting from domesticor international conditions (including movements in domestic interest rates rates and reduced economic activity);

+ Increases in Company expenses (like cost of goods and services);

+ New or increased government taxes, duties or changes in taxation laws;

+ Fluctuations in equity markets in the UK and internationally. A prolonged and significant downturn in general economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on the Group’s trading and financial performance.

Reliance on key personnel The Company may be dependent on the skills of senior people with particular expertise or contacts. Deprival of their services - whether it is through them changing job, or through illness or death - could impact the business.

Foreign exchange risk The Company may trade in several countries and though it will try to manage exchange rate exposure there is always a risk that it may not be able to hedge or otherwise mitigate all such exposure.

Risk FactorsWhat are the risks I should consider?

17

Third party risk The operations of the Company involve exposure to a number of third parties, including the ultimate clients of the businesses from which we buy receivables receivables as well as the businesses themselves. There is also reliance on the factoring companies funded by the Company. Financial failure, default or contractual non-compliance on the part of such third parties may have a material impact on the Company’s development and general performance. It is not possible for the Company to accurately predict or protect itself against all such risks.

Security TrusteeThe Security Trustee shall not be responsible, nor shall face any liability, for any loss incurred by the Bondholders relating to a failure of the Company, or its Guarantor, to make payments (whether of interest or of the principal amount) to the Bondholders when due. The Security Trustee will not have any ability or responsibility to protect any monies in the accounts of the Company or its Guarantor which may have been set aside for payment of interest or the principal amount in respect of the Providence Bonds.

Summary The above factors are not exhaustive and they do not purport to be a complete explanation of all the risks and significant considerations involved in investing in Providence Bonds. Accordingly, and as noted above, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Directors or that the Directors currently deem immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on the Group’s business and prospects.

Providence Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all who review this Invitation Document or the Bond Instrument. Investors should take their own tax advice as to the consequences of owning Providence Bonds as well as receiving interest payments from them.

Other than the obligations and other covenants on the part of the Company to pay interest on the Providence Bonds, repay the principal sum of the Providence Bonds when due and to perform the other obligations contained in the Bond Instrument, the express warranties and undertakings given by the Company and the Guarantor in the Bond Instrument and the obligation of the Guarantor to perform the liabilities of the Company in the event that the Company defaults, no representation or warranty, express or implied herein, is given to Bondholders by either the Company or the Guarantor or the Directors and officers of the Company or of the Guarantor.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a Mini Bond?A Mini Bond is a way for UK companies to borrow directly from the public. After the 2008 global financial crisis, the UK government recognised that banks did not have the money to lend to small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). The government allowed UK SMEs to directly approach the public with a corporate IOU (or promissory note) called a Mini Bond. The investor lends money to a UK plc for a set amount of time (the “Term”) in return for a fixed amount of interest (the “Coupon”) plus the original investment amount which is returned at the end of the Term.

How is a Mini Bond different from a listed bond?Mini Bonds are effectively a private borrowing agreement between a company and an investor that cannot be transferred to someone else. In contrast, retail corporate bonds and government gilt-edged securities are freely tradeable instruments. The financial promotion of Mini Bonds must be carried out by an FCA authorised and regulated company to ensure the invitation to invest is fair, clear and not misleading. However, Mini Bonds are corporate treasury instruments and not securities, so they are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. While safeguards are in place, the FCA is very clear that every investor should be aware that their capital is at risk.

How much can I invest?£1,000 is the starting minimum investment with multiples of £1,000 thereafter, with no upper limit.

Who can invest?Any UK resident individual who is over the age of 18, or a UK trust, company or charity which is not prevented by the laws of its governing jurisdiction from applying for or holding Providence Bonds.

Can I put the Providence Bond into my SIPP or ISA?Mini Bonds are suitable for Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) subject to approval by the scheme trustees and administrators.

Mini Bonds are not currently approved for ordinary tax free Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs). However, in the March 2015 budget, Chancellor George Osborne announced a “radically more flexible ISA” which is expected to include a new Peer to Peer ISA this autumn, which may effectively allow tax free investing into Mini Bonds. We await announcements from the Treasury.

Can I pay by instalments or top up on my holding?Unfortunately not. There is a fixed invitation period during which all applications must be completed. Once the invitation period is closed, no new applications or additions to existing

holdings can be accepted.What is the Offer Period?The invitation period opens on the 19th June 2015 and closes on 31st August 2015.

How can I confirm my investment has been accepted?Once your application has been accepted, your investment will appear in your personal e-wallet. In addition, following the closing date, all bondholders will be issued with a bond certificate registering their investment.

Can I change my mind?Yes, provided you do so within 14 days of your completed Application Form being received or being submitted online. If you wish to cancel your application, you should write to Providence Bonds II PLC’s Registrar, Lumiere Fund Services Limited, PO Box 268, Mill Court, La Charroterie, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3QZ. After this date, your application will be irrevocable and will not be capable of being terminated or rescinded unless there are exceptional circumstances.

What return do I receive on my investment and is the interest rate fixed?The interest rate is 7.5% a year with a payment every quarter, which is fixed and does not change.

How do I get paid my interest?For each of the 16 quarters of this Providence Bond, you receive a quarter of 7.5%; ie 1.875% gross.

HMRC requires us to automatically levy a 20% withholding tax on interest payments unless you send us a completed HMRC R85 form stating you are not a taxpayer and should receive your interest gross.

So, if you are a tax payer, 1.5% (a non-tax payer 1.875%) will be paid into your e-wallet or, if you prefer, a bank account of your choice.

What is an e-wallet?Instead of taking your interest into your bank account in small amounts, you can elect to keep your coupon payments in a secure, personalised, online e-wallet with Global Custodial Services Ltd (GCS). You have online access at all times and can transfer the cash at any time or use the e-wallet exactly the same as a normal bank account. It also keeps a record of your investment in the Mini Bond (and anything else you invest in using the e-wallet).

When do I get my original investment back?All of your original investment will be returned in full on 31st August 2019 after the full four-year term

21

How does the Early Bird bonus work?Any investor who completes their application before Friday 17th July 2015 will start accruing 7.5% pa interest from the day their investment is cleared. The Early Bird interest will be credited to your e-wallet or paid to your bank (as appropriate) as an initial bonus on the 31st August 2015.

Individuals who invest after the 17th July 2015 will accrue interest from the closing date, expected to be the 31st August 2015.

Are there any hidden fees, charges or deductions?Providence Bonds II PLC will take no fees or make any deductions or charges of any kind on the interest paid by the Mini Bond, but HMRC requires us to retain a 20% withholding tax for a UK taxpayer (if you are not a UK tax payer be sure you advise us).

Do Mini Bonds track the stock or bond markets?No, it is highly unlikely that there will be any correlation that is not statistically coincidental.

Can I withdraw my money before the end of thefour-year term?Mini Bonds have a fixed term and are not freely transferable. The Providence Bond allows investors to request the return of their investment if they can show financial hardship or if an executor of their estate makes a formal request.

Who is Providence?Providence is a fast-growing, global commercial and financial services group. The group was established about 10 years ago and now has twenty-one offices in twelve territories across four continents. For further information: www.provcos.com

Who is Providence Global Limited?Providence Global Ltd is the holding company for all the non-US assets of the Providence group. Based in Guernsey, it has assets of over £75 million and owns businesses such as investment management, fund administration and collective investment funds in addition to its global factoring operations.

How will the money be invested in order to pay 7.5%?Funds raised by the Providence Bond will be used to monetise invoices for successful SMEs. Providence buys the invoice (at a discount) that the SME’s customer has already agreed to pay. These SMEs have to satisfy strict criteria to qualify for the funding and provide collateral. In other words, because we are funding invoices (ie amounts that are due to be paid) we finance success, not aspiration.

Is the money only invested in factoring? Funds from Providence Bonds will only be used for factoring in the UK and our established international operations in for example the US, Brazil, Hong Kong and China. The factoring business is operated by Providence Global Factoring who manages the asset allocation to balance the security of funds with a fair and profitable return.

How does Providence afford the 7.5% pa interest?As an illustration, it is typical for UK SMEs to sell their invoices at a discount of between 1.5% and 3% a month, which is an average annual rate close to 30%. Internationally, the monthly discount can vary and in some markets it is significantly higher (in Brazil for example it is typically over 4% per month). Providence is confident that its annual returns will continue to be far greater than the 7.5% interest required to pay bondholders..

How is the investment protected?Bondholders have three levels of protection.

The first is that we have a charge over the assets of both the factoring client we are buying the invoice from and the company paying the invoice, should either default.

The second level is a parent guarantee pledging the assets of Providence Global Ltd to cover all interest and capital payments due to bondholders.

The third is that Independent Portfolio Managers Ltd (IPM), an FCA authorised and regulated investment manager with experience in this field, is appointed to act as Security Trustee. If Providence defaults the Security Trustee can take control of the business on behalf of bondholders.

How does this bond rank in credit terms with the first Providence Bond?For the purposes of parent guarantee, this Mini Bond ranks equal (pari passu) with the previous Providence Bond issued by Providence Bonds plc.

How much money do you hope to raise with this Providence Bond?Providence is working to raise a total of £25 million through a series of Providence Bonds to fund the expansion of its UK and international factoring operations. We hope to raise £5 million with this particular 7.5% Providence Bond.

What if something happens to me or I die?Providence Bonds that are not jointly held would form part of your estate and title would pass to the executors or administrators of your estate. The Providence Bond allows your executors or administrators to apply for early repayment of the bond so the estate can be settled.

If a bondholder shows they are subject to material financial hardship, the directors have discretion to repay the investment early.

on the due date it shall (subject to

the limitations set out in this Bond

Instrument), on demand in writing

by such Bondholder, pay to the

Bondholder such sum as shall be

equal to the amount in respect of

not exceed an amount equal to the

Aggregate Nominal Amount due to

such Bondholder on such due date.

payment, and the Guarantor shall
