Dear Mr Kohl,
In our capacity of tax consultant of AMP Capital Investors Limited (and the Luxembourg
companies listed in Appendix 1) and further to the Letter dated 21 April 2005 prepared by
Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg (reference: 2129bonp/clayton amp capital/fund ii) and our
meetings held on 25 April 2008, 21 May 2008 and 17 September 2008, please find below
the tax treatment applicable to the transactions implemented by our client. This Letter aims
at confirming the conclusions reached during these meetings and will serve as a basis for
the preparation of the tax returns of the Luxembourg companies involved.
Background
AMP Capital Investors Limited ("AMP CI") used to have in place a Luxembourg
securitisation vehicle (AMP Capital Investors (Luxembourg No. 1) S.a r.I. - "the
SV" - for your infonnation, you will find a brief description of AMP CI and the
SITE Fund in Appendix 2). However, after evaluation of its legal and economic
nature, it appeared that the SV was no longer the appropriate vehicle for the holding
of infrastructure assets acquired by AMP CI through the SV. Consequently, AMP CI
decided to replace the SV by fully taxable Luxembourg companies and to liquidate
said SV.
Therefore, a reorganisation of the existing structure has been agreed, in which the SV
will be liquidated after being replaced by fully taxable Luxembourg companies (for
your information, you will find short step plans of the operations in Appendix 4a,
4b, 4c and 4d).
The SY has nowadays seven compartments (A to G). However, the present analysis
will mainly be focused on Compartment A ("Stack A"), as its structure has been
replicated (completely or partially) under Compartments B, E, G ("Stack B",
"Stack E" and "Stack G") and nearly the same financing mechanism has been used.
The new structure provides for a double tracking repatriation mechanism where the
left-hand side of each stack tracks/repatriates (income on) receivables and the righthand side tracks/repatriates (income on) equity investments. For your information,
you will find structure charts (pre-liquidation and post-liquidation of the SY) in
Appendix 3a and 3b.
Besides, AMP CI set up a double tier Luxembourg structure for European investors
below SITE (Euro) SICAY that partially finances investments held by Stack A. This
structure provides for a specific (tracking) repatriation mechanism. Please note that
the tax regime applicable to the instruments financing the investments held by
Stacks A to G (and explained hereafter) is also applicable to the financing
mechanism of SITE (Euro) SICAY (for further details, please refer to Appendix 4a).
B.1
All the Luxembourg companies listed in Appendix l ("LuxCos") have their statutory
scat in Luxembourg. Moreover, they have their place of central administration in
Luxembourg to the extent that their shareholders' meetings and their board meetings
are held in Luxembourg, that the main management decisions are effectively taken in
Luxembourg and that their accounting is done in Luxembourg.
B.2
All stacks are structured with a double tracking repatriation mechanism as described
below. As shown in Appendix 3a and 3b (under Stack A), the structure aims:
in its left-hand side, to finance all the receivables held by LuxCo 4A via connected
funded interest bearing loans ("debt linked IBLs"). Interest on those receivables are
repatriated up to the chain via interest payments on the debt linked IBLs;
(2)
IO
As already mentioned, the SITE (Euro) SICAV fi nancing structure provides for a
specific (tracking) repatriation mechanism:
between LuxCo 4A and Site (Euro) No. 2 S.a r.l. ("Site LuxCo 2"), a double tracking
repatriation mechanism has been put in place (similar as the one explained above);
between Site LuxCo 2 and Site (Euro) No. 1 S.a r.I. ("Site LuxCo I") and between
Site LuxCo 1 and SITE (Euro) SICAV, a single repatriation mechanism based on onlending PPLs aims to repatriate any income derived by the borrower (for further
details, please refer to Appendix 5).
12
In the present case, the tracking PPLs will be structured as income-sharing loans and
not as profit participating bonds. Therefore, interest expenses at the level of the
issuer will not be subject to withholding tax in the meaning of Article 146(1)-3 LLTL.
13
Moreover, Articles 97( 1)-2 and 146( I )-2 LITL provide for a withholding tax when a
silent partnership is paying out profit participating return. In the present case, there is
no intention to create such a partnership. Therefore, no withholding tax in the
meaning of Articles 97(1 )-2 and 146( I )-2 LITL will apply.
14
Finally, 100% of interest paid on the tracking PP Ls will be tax deductible at the level
of the issuer in accordance with Article 45(1) LITL, unless Article 45(2) LITL is
applicable. Notwithstanding, Article 166(5) LITL and Article I (2) of the GrandDucal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to the charges previously
deducted by the lenders and linked to the financing of a participation in the
corresponding LuxCo.
(3)
B.4 Luxembourg tax treatment of the debt and equity linked IBLs
15
Based on the characteristics of the "debt and equity linked JBLs" as outlined in
Appendix 6, those instruments qualify as debt for Luxembourg corporate tax,
municipal business tax and net wealth tax purposes. No withholding tax will thus be
levied on any interest payments related to the debt and equity linked IBLs. Indeed,
said interests will be booked as a yearly financial cost (even if not paid but only
accrued for).
16
Consequently, the interest will constitute a tax-deductible charge at the level of the
issuer in accordance with Article 45(1) LITL, unless Article 45(2) LITL is
applicable. Notwithstanding, Article 166(5) LlTL and Article 1(2) of the GrandDucal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to the charges previously
deducted by the lenders and linked to the financing of a participation in the
corresponding LuxCo.
18
The total tax value of the participation held by the IFCNs holders in the different
target investments is financed by regular equity (and/or IFCNs), equity linked IBLs
or PPLs, which in turn arc financed by PPLs subscribed by their respective
shareholders. Consequently, Article 166(5) LITL and Article 1(2) of the GrandDucal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to the charges previously
deducted by the IFCNs holders and linked to the financing of corresponding
patiicipation in the target investments.
Lux Co 1A, LuxCo 1B, LuxCo 1E m1d LuxCo 1G's articles of association provide for
different redeemable classes of shares.
20
21
(4)
22
In the case at hand, the redemption of a whole class of shares by LuxCo 1A,
LuxCo lB, LuxCo lE or LuxCo 10 followed by a proportional reduction of the
share capital of the company would be regarded as a partial liquidation of the entity
(Article 101 (1) LlTL) and thus as a realisation by the investors of a part of their
participation in this company.
23
24
Except in the specific cases explained below, the participations held by all the
LuxCos have been financed by equity. As a consequence thereof, the gearing on the
financing of those participations at the time of their acquisition by the respective
LuxCos did comply with the 85: 15 debt-to-equity ratio that is usually applied in
Luxembourg's practice for the intra-group financing of participations.
26
LuxCo 3A, LuxCo 38, LuxCo 3E and LuxCo 30: as mentioned above, IFCNs
qualify as equity for Luxembourg direct tax purposes. LuxCo 3A, LuxCo 38,
LuxCo 3E and LuxCo 30 mainly financed their participation (i.e. pure equity and
IFCNs) in LuxCo 4A, LuxCo 4B, LuxCo 4E and LuxCo 40 respectively through
equity linked IBLs. Given that the interest market rate applicable to the equity linked
IBLs (i.e. 1.0625% corresponding to I% plus the net taxable margin amounting to
0.0625%) is notably below the market interest rate, the equity linked IBLs are
therefore deemed to be discounted. As a consequence, the interest paid on these
equity linked IBLs will not exceed the amount of interest expenses due if the debt-toequity ratio of 85:15 were respected.
Consequently, pursuant to Articles 97(1 )-5 and 146 LITL, no withholding tax will be
due on interest paid under the equity linked IBLs. Furthermore, the entire interest
expense on the equity linked IBLs will be tax deductible at the level of LuxCo 3A,
LuxCo 38, LuxCo 3E and LuxCo 30 in accordance with Article 45(1 ) LITL, unless
Article 45(2) UTL is applicable.
Site LuxCo 2: in view of its investment activities and the fact that Site LuxCo 2 will
not suffer any bad debt risks notably due to the fact that the PPL's terms and
conditions contain a limited recourse clause, Site LuxCo 2 will not need to comply
with any debt-to-equity ratio and, as a result, will not be considered thinly
capitalised, even if it mainly owns equity assets. Indeed, Site LuxCo 2 will be
deemed to be in a connected funding position with respect to all investments
financed by PPL. All interest paid by Site LuxCo 2 under the PPL will be considered
as a tax deductible expense and will not be characterised into dividend.

27
B.8
Applicable margin
28
Taking into account the overall amount of GBP 498.3m on-lent in the whole
structure (i.e. in Site (Euro) SICAV and Stacks A to G) and the fact that
Site LuxCo 1, LuxCo 2A, LuxCo 2B, LuxCo 2E, LuxCo 2G, AMP Capital Investors
(MGN Gas) S.a r.l. and AMP Capital Investors (BAA Toggle Holdco) S.a r.I. bear
limited default risk and no foreign exchange exposure, those companies will be
deemed to realise an appropriate and acceptable profit with respect to Articles 56 and
164(3) LITL, provided that each of those companies realises an annual net taxable
margin of 0.0625% computed on the outstanding principal amount on-lent.
29
In case the accounting profit of those companies is higher to this minimum margin,
the taxable basis would be computed according to said accounting profit.
30
The net profit will be subject to corporate income tax and municipal business tax at
the aggregate rate of 28.59% for 2009.
31
No other taxable margin will be left at the level of the other LuxCos.
32
Please refer to our analysis in Appendix 9 for further details in this respect.
B.9 Luxembourg tax treatment applicable to the transfer of the SV assets and to the
liquidation of the SV
33
At the time the assets held by the SY were transferred to fully taxable Luxembourg
companies, a valuation of those assets was perfonned. The amount resulting from the
valuation was matched to the amount of debt and equity financing (i.e. PPLs, debt
and equity linked IBLs, IFCNs, ordinary shares and/or classes of shares) put in place
in the LuxCos of the different Stacks.
34
As the transfer was done at fair market value, the difference between the book value
and the market value (i.e. the increase in value of those assets) was recorded as a
gain in the SY accounts. The SV committed to distribute such a gain as a dividend.
35
36
(6)
37
Jn addition, the liquidation of the SY compartments will not trigger any taxes.
38
Finally, due to the fact that the SY has been deemed to be compliant with its tax
obligations/liabilities up-to its liquidation, AMP CI and LuxCos should not suffer
any adverse tax consequences in relation to the tax situation pre-liquidation and postliquidation of the SY.
As all the transfers that occurred within the scope of the liquidation of the SY (i.e.
SY transfers and Promissory Notes transfers) have been done in a short period of
time and at the same accounting value, there is no realisation of any latent capital
gain (i.e. no profit and loss impact) neither in the hands of AMP Capital Investors
(Kemble Water) S.a r.I. nor in the ones of AMP Capital Investors (MON Gas) S.a r.J.
40
Please refer to Appendix 4d for short step plans of the liquidation operations.
The accounts of all the LuxCos (except for SITE (Euro) SICAY, Site (Euro) No. I
S.a r.L , Site (Euro) No. 2 S.a r. l., AMP Capital Investors (CLH No. I) S.a r.J. ,
AMP Capital Investors (Angel Trains EU No. 1) S.a r.I. and AMP Capital Investors
(Angel Trains EU No. 2) S.a r.l., which accounts are denominated in EUR) are
denominated in GBP. Indeed, G BP will be the functional currency of all the LuxCos
(except for the ones here above-mentioned) for tax purposes as from the date of their
incorporation. It follows that their tax returns will be established on the basis of the
yearly net profits converted into EUR by using the year-end market rate for GBP to
EUR exchange, as provided by the European Central Bank.

Step plan of the operations - Stack A and SITE (Euro) SICAV
Please find below a short step plan summansmg the Stack A and SITE (Euro)
SICAV Luxembourg financing structures:
AMP CI structured a four tier Luxembourg structure under the Compartment A of
AMP Capital Investors (Luxembourg No. l) S.a r.l. ("the SV") (''Stack A"). In
May 2008, the SV incorporated AMP Capital Investors (European Infrastructure
No. 1) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo IA") with a share capital of GBP 400,000 divided into
I 0 classes of shares (modification of the articles of association in October 2008). At
the
same
time,
LuxCo 1A
incorporated
AMP
Capital
Investors
(European Infrastructure No. 2) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 2A") with a share capital of
GBP 20 000. In tum, LuxCo 2A incorporated AMP Capital Investors
(European Infrastructure No. 3) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 3A") with a share capital of
GBP 20 000. Finally,
LuxCo 3A incorporated AMP Capital
Investors
No.
4)
S.a
r.1.
("LuxCo
4A")
with
a
share
capital
of
(European Infrastructure
GBP 20 000.
2
Once the structure was put in place, the SV transferred all its assets (i.e. receivables
and equity investments) down the chain to LuxCo 4A. ln exchange, LuxCo 4A
issued IFCNs A, B and C (financing equity investments) and IBL T (financing
receivables) to LuxCo 3A. In tum, LuxCo 3A issued IBLs A, B and C (tracking
equity investments) and IBL U (tracking receivables) to LuxCo 2A. Finally, the latter
issued PPL A to the SV, and PPLs B and C to the Australian investors, tracking
equity investments and IBL V to the SV tracking receivables. In the near future,
existing IBL U and IBL T could be merged into a new IBL UT issued by LuxCo 4A
and subscribed by LuxCo 2A.
In parallel, AMP CI set up a triple tier Luxembourg strncture for European investors
as fo llows: in May 2008, AMP CI incorporated SITE (Euro) SICA V ("the SICAV"),
which in turn incorporated in August 2008 Site (Euro) No. 1 S.a r.l. ("Site LuxCo I")
with a share capital of EUR 14 000. At the same time, Site LuxCo 1 incorporated
Site (Euro) No. 2 S.a r.l. ("Site LuxCo 2") with the same amount of share capital. In
October 2008, LuxCo 3A transferred 12.24% of its shareholding into LuxCo 4A to
Site LuxCo 2.
In order to finance equity investments and receivables, the SICAV subscribed for
PPL D issued by Site LuxCo I. In tum, Site LuxCo I subscribed for the same
amount of PPL E issued by Site LuxCo 2. TI1en, Site LuxCo 2 subscribed for
IFCN D (financing equity investments) and IBL S (financing receivables) issued by
Lux Co 4A for the total amount of the PPL issued to Site LuxCo 1.
(14)
In the future, it is envisaged that SITE (Euro) SICAV (via Site LuxCo 2) will
increase its financing in Stack A (through LuxCo 4A), thus diluting the current
investment of Stack A. Should so be the case, the relevant tax treatment of this extra
investment and dilution will have to be discussed at that time and another letter will
be addressed to the Luxembourg tax authorities.
(15)
Appendix 4b
Step plan of the operations - Stacks B, E and G
Please find below a short step plan summarising the Stacks B, E and G Luxembourg
financing structures:
AMP CI structured a triple tier Luxembourg structure respectively under
Compartments B, E and G of the SY ("Stack B", "Stack E" and "Stack G"). In

the
SY
incorporated
AMP

(REST European Infrastructure No. I) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 1B") with a share capital of
GBP 400 000 divided into 10 classes of shares, AMP Capital Investors
(FDF European Infrastructure No. 1) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 1E") with a share capital of
GBP 100 000 divided into 10 classes of shares and AMP Capital Investors
(CIF European Infrastructure No. I) S.a r.l. (" LuxCo I G") with a share capital of
GBP 100 000 divided into I 0 classes of shares. At the same time, LuxCo 1B,
LuxCo 1E and LuxCo 1G respectively incorporated AMP Capital Investors
(REST European

S.a
r.l.
("LuxCo
2B"),
AMP Capital Investors (FDF European Infrastructure No. 2) S.a r.1. ("LuxCo 2E")
and AMP Capital Investors (ClF European Infrastructure No. 2) S.a r.1. ("LuxCo
2G") with a share capital of GBP 20 000 each. In tum, LuxCo 2B, LuxCo 2E and
AMP
Capital
Investors
LuxCo 2G
respectively
incorporated
(REST European [nfrastructure No. 3) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 38"), AMP Capital Investors

No.
3)
AMP Capital Investors (CIF European Infrastructure No. 3) S.a r.l. ("LuxCo 3G")
with a share capital of GBP 20 000 each.
2
Once the structure was put in place, the SV transferred all its assets per compartment
(i.e. receivables and equity investments) down the chain to the relevant LuxCo 3. In
exchange LuxCos 3 issued to their respective LuxCo 2 IBLs tracking equity
investments (i.e. IBL BA, EA and GA) and IBLs tracking receivables (i.e. IBLs BC,
EC and GC) whilst each LuxCo 2 issued PPLs tracking equity investments (i.e. PPLs
BA, EA and GA) and IBLs tracking receivables (i.e. IBLs BB, EB and GB) to the
Australian investors.
(16)
Appendix 4c
Step plan of the operations - Stacks C, D and F
Please find below a short step plan summarising the Stacks C, D and F Luxembourg
financing structures:
Under Compartment C, ("Stack C"), the SV is directly holding its receivable and
equity investment through AMP Capital lnvestors (MGN Gas) S.a r.I. To finance its
investment, AMP Capital Investors (MGN Gas) S.a r.l. issued to the SV IFCNs
tracking equity investments (i.e. IFCN C MGN) and IBLs tracking the receivable
(i.e. IBL C MGN).
2
Under Comprutment D ("Stack D"), the SV is directly holding its receivable through
AMP Capital investors (BAA Toggle Holdco) S.a r.l. To finance its investment,
AMP Capital Investors (BAA Toggle Holdco) S.a r.l. issued to the SY TBLs tracking
the receivable (i.e. IBL D Toggle).
Under Compartment F ("Stack F"), the SY is directly holding its receivables and
equity investments through AMP Capital Investors (Angel Trains UK No. I) S.a r.l.
and AMP Capital Investors (Angel Trains EU No. 1) S.a r.l. To finance its respective
investments, each of those Luxembourg holding companies issued to the SY lFCNs
tracking equity investments (i.e. JFCN AT UKl and IFCN AT EUI).
(I 7)
Appendix 4d
Step plan of the operations - Liquidation of the SV
Please find below a short step plan summarising the liquidation of the SV:
Pursuant to each assignment and repayment agreement dated 9 June 2009, each
compartment of the SV assigned and transferred its assets to its shareholders against
the redemption and cancellation of its PPNs and full repayment of its shareholder
loans. Moreover, in accordance with those assignment and repayment agreements,
each shareholder issued Promissory Notes to the SV as payment linked to the transfer
of part of the assets per compartment.
2
On the same date and pursuant to a share transfer agreement, the SV has been
transferred by its shareholders to AMP Capital Investors (Kemble Water) S.a r.l.
("Kemble Water HoldCo") for an amount equal to the total outstanding assets in the
SV. As a consequence, Kemble Water HoldCo became the sole shareholder of the
SV as from that date.
Pursuant to a share transfer agreement dated 11 June 2009, Kemble Water HoldCo
transferred the SV to AMP Capital Investors (MGN Gas) S.a r.l.
("MGN Gas HoldCo") for an amount equal to the total outstanding assets in the SV.
As a consequence, MGN Gas HoldCo became the sole shareholder of the SV as from
that date.
On 16 June 2009, MGN Gas HoldCo decided the anticipatory winding-up of the SV
and all its compartments and resolved to voluntary open the liquidation of the SV.
After the payment of all its liabilities, the SV endorsed its Promissory Notes
(representing all its assets) to MGN Gas HoldCo as part of the liquidation
distribution process.
On 30 June 2009, MGN Gas HoldCo endorsed the Promissory Notes received under
Step 5 to Kemble Water HoldCo as payment of its outstanding debt resulting from
the transfer of the SV shares held on 11 June 2009.
In turn, Kemble Water HoldCo endorsed the Promissory Notes received under Step 6
to the original SV shareholders as payment of its outstanding debt resulting from the
transfer of the SV shares held on 9 June 2009. Further to that step, the
Promissory Notes are cancelled.
As all those transfers (i.e. SV transfers and Promissory Notes transfers) have been
done in a short period of time and at the same accounting value, there is no
realisation of any latent capital gain (i.e. no profit and loss impact) neither in the
hands of Kemble Water HoldCo nor in the ones of MGN Gas HoldCo.

Appendix 5
Luxembourg tax treatment of the tracking PPLs
A
In this way, under Stacks A to G, the PPLs issued by the borrower would track the
instrument(s) issued by its subsidiary(ies), which, in tum, would track the specific
investment income (i.e. any income or proceeds, including by way of interest or
loans, dividends, rental income or related thereto, interest on deposits, other than
capital gains or proceeds of any refinancing) from the relevant underlying
investment.
Under Site (Euro) SICA Y, the on-lending PPLs issued by the borrower would
repatriate all the income derived by its subsidiary (i.e. any income or proceeds,
including by way of interest or loans, dividends, rental income or related thereto,
interest on deposits, or otherwise, including any forex gains and capital gains or
proceeds of any refinancing).
All the PPLs issued (or to be issued) would have the same following characteristics:
PPLs (Stacks A - G)

A sample of PPL issued within the present restructuring is attached to this letter in
Appendix 10.
Based on the above mentioned characteristics, the tracking PPLs issued within the
present restructuring will be treated as debt for Luxembourg tax purposes.
In this respect, the explanatory note to the income tax reform law no. 571 of 1955
(Projet de Loi on Article 114 - currently Article 97 - LITL) points out that the
distinction between debt and equity must be done on the basis of the economic
characteristics of the financial instrument. In particular, the main economic features
that characterise a financial instrument as debt are:
the fact that the instrument yields a fixed income, even in a situation where the
company is in a loss position (as opposed to an equity participation which gives right
to a percentage of the company's profits); and,
entitle their holder to a fixed return (without taking into consideration if the company
is in a profit or loss position); and,
10
Under Luxembourg tax law, Articles 97 and 164 LITL set out the key criteria to
characterise a payment as dividend rather than interest. According to these rules,
following elements shall be considered:
(21)
11
According to these rules, interest payments which do not participate directly in the
net profit after taxes of the borrower or the liquidation proceeds will not be
considered as dividend.
12
In the case at hand, the return on the PPLs will have two components: a fixed interest
and a variable interest. The latter varies in accordance with the income realised on the
underlying investments financed with the PPLs. Hence, the PPLs will not be
considered participating in the net profits after taxes. Further, it will not be
considered participating in the liquidation proceeds of the company. In fact, as the
PPLs rank superior to shares, in the event of liquidation, any outstanding amount due
and payable to the PPLs holders will be paid before the liquidation gain or loss will
be computed.
13
Furthermore, Article 146(1)-3 LITL provides for the application of a withholding tax
upon payment of interest arising from participating bonds or other similar securities.
interest payments are only subject to a 15% withholding tax in Luxembourg if the
following conditions apply:
the loan is structured in the form of bonds or other similar securities; and,
aside from the fixed interest, a supplementary interest varying according to the
amount of distributed profit is paid, unless the supplementary interest is linked to a
corresponding decrease in the fixed interest.
14
In the case at hand, the debts owed by the borrower are structured as PPL facilities
and the participating interest docs not depend on distributed profit.
15
In addition, Articles 97(1 )-2 and 146(1 )-2 LITL provide for a withholding tax when a
silent partnership is paying out profit participating return. In the present case, there is
no intention to create such a partnership. Indeed, there is no "affectio societatis " by
the PPL holders and no intention to establish a company in the sense of Article 1832
of the Civil Law Code.
16
Based on the above analysis, no dividend withholding tax will be due on interest paid
under the PPLs (neither on the ground of Article 146(1 )-3 LITL nor on the one of
Article 146(1)-2 LITL).
17
100% of all interest paid on the tracking PP Ls described above will be tax deductible
in accordance with Article 45(1) LITL, unless Article 45(2) UTL is applicable
(interest expense in relation to exempt income). Moreover, Article 166(5) LITL and
Article 1(2) of the Grand-Ducal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to
the charges previously deducted by the lenders and linked to the financing of a
participation in the corresponding Lux.Co.
(22)
18
Finally, it should be noted that Article 164 LITL provides for a non-deductibility of
payments on participating securities. In the case at hand, the PPLs are not structured
as a security.
(23)
Appendix 6
Luxembourg tax treatment of the debt and equity linked IBLs
A
Characteristics
Term
Between 7-30 years depending on the underlying investments (the term is at any
time identical to the maturity date applicable in connection with the portion of
the instrument that the tranche of loan directly funds).
Yield
Depending on what the IBLs are funding, interest will be calculated differently:
for lBLs in connected funding position with an IBL: the interest payable
is equal to the net interest income derived by the borrower (which is
reflected in the accounts of the borrower for the interest period) from the
tranche of the instrument funding the investment issued under this IBL
agreement to the extent that this tranche of loan directly funds that
tranche;
for IBLs issued by MGN Gas HoldCo and BAA Toggle lloldCo: the
interest payable is equal to (i) the net interest income derived by the
borrower (which is reflected in the accounts of the borrower for the
interest period) from the lenders share of the investment, (ii) less a margin
of 0.0625% multiplied by the sum of the principal and the lender share
multiplied by any unpaid interest capitalised by the subsidiary company.
The borrower shall pay the interest on t11e specific tranche of loan in periods as
refetTcd on the underlying instruments at the bottom of the structure funding that
tranche of loan or investment (either once a year or on each interest period equal
to six months).
(24)
Repayment
At the earlier of(i) final maturity date or (ii) liquidation of the bo1TOwer for IBLs
others than IBLs funding MGN Gas, BAA Toggle and Kemble Water, which
shall be paid at the liquidation of the borrower.
Prepayment on
Disposal
In the event of the disposal by the borrower by way of sale or otherwise of all of
its interests (directly or indirectly) in the investment, or in case of a prepayment
to the borrower of all amounts owing under the underlying instrument.
Voluntary Prepayment
Limited Recourse
Any recourse the lender may have to the borrower with respect to any principal
and interest amounts owing to it under a tranche of the underlying instrument
related to an investment shall be limited to amounts owing directly and indirectly
to the borrower in relation to that investment.
Future IBLs to be implemented within the framework of new investments will have
the same features as depicted above. Each IBL will be linked to specific investments
and will also be limited recourse.
A sample of IBL issued within the present restructuring is attached to this letter in
Appendix 10.
Based on the above mentioned characteristics, the IBLs issued within the present
restructuring will be treated as debt for Luxembourg tax purposes.
In this respect, the explanatory note to the income tax reform law no. 571 of 1955
(Projet de Loi on Article 114 - currently Article 97 - LITL) points out that the
distinction between debt and equity must be done on the basis of the economic
characteristics of the financial instrument. In particular, the main economic features
that characterise a financial instrument as debt are:
the fact that the instrument yields a fixed income, even in a situation where the
company is in a loss position (as opposed to an equity participation which gives right
to a percentage of the company's profits); and,
entitle their holder to a fixed return and not to a right in the profits or liquidation
surplus of the issuer; and,
(25)
Article 146(1 )-3 LITL provides for the application of a withholding tax upon
payment of interest arising from participating bonds or other similar securities.
Interest payments are only subject to a 15% withholding tax in Luxembourg if the
following conditions apply:
the loan is structured in the form of bonds or other similar securities; and,
aside from the fixed interest, a supplementary interest varying according to the
amount of distributed profit is paid, unless the supplementary interest is linked to a
c01Tesponding decrease in the fixed interest.
Consequently, as the IBLs will bear a fixed interest, are not profit participating bonds
and carry an arm's length interest rate, no dividend withholding tax will be due on
interest paid under the IBLs.
I 00% of all interest paid on the IBLs described above will be tax deductible in
accordance with Article 45(1) LITL, unless Article 45(2) LITL is applicable (interest
expense in relation to exempt income). Notwithstanding, Article 166(5) LITL and
A11icle 1(2) of the Grand-Ducal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to
the charges previously deducted by the lenders and linked to the financing of a
participation in the corresponding LuxCo.
(26)
Appendix 7
Luxembourg tax treatment of the IFCNs
A
It is worth mentioning that some of the IFCNs may be capitalised by the lender(s) in
the future (e.g., the one issued by MON Gas HoldCo).
All the IFCNs issued (or to be issued) would have the same following characteristics:
a maturity of 60 years;
non-interest bearing;
stapling to shares.
A sample of IFCN issued within the present restructuring is attached to this letter in
Appendix 10.
(27)
The explanatory note to the income tax reform law no. 571 of 1955 (Projet de Loi on
Article 114 - currently Article 97 - LITL) points out that the distinction between
debt and equity must be done on the basis of the economic characteristics of the
financial instrument. According to administrative practice, the following factors can
be used to detennine whether a security ought to be characterised as equity or debt
for Luxembourg tax purposes: the maturity date, the ranking, the type of
remuneration, and other relevant economic characteristics.
Consistent with the characteristics mentioned above, the IFCNs issued within the
present restructuring should be treated as equity for Luxembourg direct tax purposes.
The IFCNs have indeed the economical characteristics of equity, i.e.:
As a consequence, the tax value of the participation in the respective LuxCos should
be increased by the amount of the nominal value of the IFCNs subscribed by the
lenders. Such increased value of the participation in the respective LuxCos will be
reflected in the tax forms 506a and in separate tax balance sheets to be filed annually
by said lenders.
As already mentioned, the total tax value of the participation held in the respective
investments is financed by regular equity (and/or IFCNs), equity linked IBLs or
PPLs at the level of the lenders and the issuance of PPLs issued by the lenders to
their respective parent LuxCo. Consequently, Article 166(5) LIT L and Article I (2) of
the Grand-Ducal Decree of 21 December 2001 will be applicable to the charges
previously deducted by the lenders and linked to the financing of corresponding
participation in the respective LuxCos.
(28)
10
In addition to the above, the lenders will have to retain at any time at least 10% of the
respective LuxCo's share capital (or a pa11icipation therein with an acquisition cost
of at least EUR 1.2m for dividends and EUR 6m for capital gains) in order to benefit
from the participation exemption regime. Indeed, the IFCNs will not be taken into
account to determine the minimum threshold required for the application of the
Luxembourg participation exemption regime.
(29)
Appendix 8
Luxembourg tax treatment of the Classes of Shares
A
The classes of shares implemented within the structure at the level of LuxCo 1A,
LuxCo 1B, LuxCo l E and Lux Co 1G have the following main features:
each class of shares is linked to a specific period of time and have the same voting
rights;
the share capital of the company may be reduced through cancellation of shares
including by the cancellation of one or more entire class(es) of preferred shares
through the repurchase and cancellation of all the shares in issue in such class(es);
in the event of a reduction of share capital through the repurchase and the
cancellation of one or more class(es) of preferred shares, the holders of shares of the
repurchased and cancelled class(es) of preferred shares shall receive from the
company an amount equal to the cancellation value per share for each share of the
relevant class(es) held by them and cancelled;
each class of preferred shares gives right to the holders pro rata to their holding in
such class, in case of redemption of such class, to the available amount for the
relevant class period to which the class relates;
the class A period is the period starting on the day of incorporation of the company
and ending on the interim account date for the class A 2009 interim accounts;
the class B period is the period starting on the day after the class A period and ending
on the interim account date for the class B 2010 interim accounts;
the class C period is the period starting on the day after the class B period and ending
on the interim account date for the class C 2011 interim accounts;
the class D period is the period starting on the day after the class C period and ending
on the interim account date for the class D 2012 interim accounts;
the class E period is the period starting on the day after the class D period and ending
on the interim account date for the class E 2013 interim accounts;
the class F period is the period starting on the day after the class E period and ending
on the interim account date for the class F 2014 interim accounts;
(30)
the class G period is the period starting on the day after the class F period and ending
on the interim account date for the class G 2015 interim accounts;
the class H period is the period starting on the day after the class G period and ending
on the interim account date for the class H 2016 interim accounts;
the class I period is the period starting on the day after the class H period and ending
on the interim account date for the class I 2017 interim accounts;
for the avoidance of doubt, if there has been no interim account date for a certain
class, the class pe1iod of such class will end on the last day of the third month
following the first year end after the start date of the relevant class period;
in the event a class of preferred shares has not been repurchased/redeemed and
cancelled within the relevant class period, the holders of such class shall become
entitled, in case of a repurchase/redemption and cancellation of the relevant class, to
the available amount for a new period;
the first new period shall start on the date after the class I period and the classes of
preferred shares not repurchased/redeemed and not cancelled in their petiod shall
come in the order of class A to class I (to the extent not previously
repurchased/redeemed and cancelled).
The different classes of preferred shares issued at the level of LuxCo 1A, LuxCo 1B,
LuxCo IE and LuxCo l G provide for different economic rights.
In the case at hand, the redemption of a whole class of shares by LuxCo IA,
LuxCo I B, LuxCo lE or LuxCo lG followed by a proportional reduction of the
share capital of the company would be regarded as a partial liquidation of the entity
(Article I 01 (1) LITL) and thus as a realisation by the investors of a part of their
participation in this company.

Luxembourg financing and acceptable margin
SI TE (Euro) SICA V
Given the fact that Site LuxCo l holds a participation in Site LuxCo 2 fully financed
by equity and is in a PPLs connected funding position falling outside the calculation
of the debt-to-equity ratio usually required by the Luxembourg tax authorities for the
financing of shares through intra-group debt, Site LuxCo I complies with the debtto-equity ratio requirements. All interest paid by Site LuxCo 1 under the PPL will be
considered deductible expenses.
2
In view of its investment activities, Site LuxCo 2 should not be regarded as thinly
capitalised even if it mainly owns equity assets (i.e. pure equity and IFCNs
qualifying as equity for Luxembourg direct tax purposes). Indeed, as Site LuxCo 2
will not suffer any bad debt risks notably due to the fact that the PPL terms and
conditions contain a limited recourse clause, the company will be deemed to be in a
connected funding position with respect to all investments financed by PPL. All
interest paid by Site LuxCo 2 under the PPL will be considered deductible expenses
and will not be characterised into dividends. Notwithstanding, Article 166(5) LITL
and Article 1(2) of the Grand-Ducal Decree of21 December 2001 will be applicable
to the charges previously deducted by Site Lux Co 2 and linked to the financing of its
participation in LuxCo 4A.
Stacks A, B, E and G
LuxCo 2A, LuxCo 28, LuxCo 2E and LuxCo 2G held a participation respectively in
LuxCo 3A, LuxCo 3B, LuxCo 3E and LuxCo 3G fully financed by equity.
Moreover, the latter companies are in an IBLs connected funding position (financing
receivables) fat ling outside the scope of the debt-to-equity ratio usually required by
the Luxembourg tax authorities for the financing of shares through intra-group debts.
All interest paid by those LuxCos under those instruments will be considered
deductible expenses.

LuxCo 3A, LuxCo 38, LuxCo 3E and LuxCo 30 should not be regarded as thinly
capitalised even though they mainly financed their participation (i.e. pure equity and
IFCNs) in:
LuxCo 4A will use the funds received from the IFCNs and the IBLs to fund
respectively its participations and finance receivables. As IFCNs qualify as equity
and LuxCo 4A is in an IBLs connected funding position (financing receivables)
falling outside the scope of the debt-to-equity ratio usually required by the
Luxembourg tax authorities for the financing of shares through intra-group debts, the
company will be deemed to fully fi nance its participations with equity and to be
compliant with the debt-to-equity ratio requirements.

Therefore, as IFCNs qualify as equity, the latter companies are compliant with the

Applicable margin
Taking into account the overall amount of GBP 498.3m on-lent in the whole structure
(i.e. in Site (Euro) SICAV and Stacks A to G) and the fact that SiteLuxCol,
LuxCo 2A, LuxCo 2B, LuxCo 2E, LuxCo 20, AMP Capital Investors (MGN Gas)
S.a r.1. and AMP Capital Investors (BAA Toggle Holdco) S.a r.1. bear limited default
risk and no foreign exchange exposure, those companies will be deemed to realise an
appropriate and acceptable profit with respect to Articles 56 and 164(3) LITL,
provided that each of those companies realises an annual net taxable margin of
0.0625% computed on the outstanding principal amount on-lent.
The overall amount of GBP 498.3m on-lent in the whole structure is split between
the 7 stacks as fo llow (situation as per 31 December 2008):
Site LuxCo 1 issued PPL to Site (Euro) SICA Y and on-lent to Site LuxCo 2 via PPL
an amount of EUR 49,254,473 (equal to GBP 46,915,277.28 1);
LuxCo 2A issued PPL and IBL to the SY/Investors and on-lent to LuxCo 3A via
IBLs an amount of GPB 262,456,529;
LuxCo 2B issued PPL and IBL to the SY/Investors and on-lent to LuxCo 3B via
IBLs an amount of GPB 106,469, 172;
LuxCo 2E issued PPL and IBL to the SY/Investors and on-lent to LuxCo 3E via IBLs
an amount of GPB 33,582,566;
LuxCo 2G issued PPL and IBL to the SY/Investors and on-lent to LuxCo 3G via
IBLs an amount ofGPB 13,676,106;
European Central Bank exchange rate as at 31 December 2008.
(35)
AMP Capital Investors (MGN Gas) S.a r.l. issued IBLs to LuxCo 4A and LuxCo 3B
and on-lent to MGN Gas Networks (UK) Ltd an amount of GBP 12,735,463;
AMP Capital Investors (BAA Toggle HoldCo) S.a r.l. issued IBLs to the
SY/Investors, LuxCo 4A and LuxCo 3B and on-lent to ADI Finance 1 Limited an
amount of GBP 22,462,681.
10
The remuneration derived from the above-mentioned intra-group financing has been
determined based on the arm's length principle, approximating as far as possible to
the service that would be charged between independent enterprises. This
remuneration results from the difference between applicable interest rates.
11
The minimum taxable margin to be reported by Site LuxCo 1, LuxCo 2A, LuxCo 2B,
LuxCo 2E, LuxCo 2G, AMP Capital Investors (MGN Gas) S.a r.l. and
AMP Capital Investors (BAA Toggle Holdco) S.a r.l. is to be understood as a net
remuneration. Hence, expenses will be deductible only from the part of income over
and above the margin and will not be offset against the margin to be derived by those
comparnes.
12
Jn case the accounting profit of those companies is higher than the minimum margin,
the taxable basis would be computed according to said accounting profit.
13
The net profit will be subject to corporate income tax and municipal business tax at
the aggregate rate of 28.59% for 2009.
14
No other taxable margin will be left at the level of the other LuxCos.
