PROSPECTUS DATED 18 SEPTEMBER 2014 JANY SUKUK COMPANY LIMITED (incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability) U.S.$500,000,000 Wakala Trust Certificates due 2019 Face Amount Issue Price Profit Rate (per annum) U.S.$500,000,000 100 per cent. 2.844 per cent. Scheduled Trust Maturity Date Expected Rating 23 September 2019 A- / A (S&P/Fitch) JANY Sukuk Company Limited will issue U.S.$500,000,000 wakala trust certificates due 2019 and will declare a trust over all its assets in favour of the certificateholders.  The primary asset of the trust will be a wakala portfolio invested in a wakala arrangement as follows: - 51 per cent. in Shari’a compliant commodities - 49 per cent. in a murabaha contract under which a deferred payment price of U.S.$507,663,000 is payable  The issuer will pay periodic distribution amounts on the certificates on 23 March and 23 September in each year commencing on 23 March 2015 (or if such day is not a business day, the next following business day).  The scheduled trust maturity date of the certificates is 23 September 2019.  The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. will unconditionally and irrevocably undertake to guarantee the payment obligations of J. Aron & Company under the murabaha contract, including an obligation to pay U.S.$507,663,000. Such guarantee will not be in respect of the obligations of the issuer under the certificates or the obligations of any other party under the transaction documents.  Upon a trust dissolution event occurring under the terms and conditions of the certificates, J. Aron & Company will be obliged to acquire, or arrange for a third party purchaser to acquire, the issuer’s beneficial interest in the commodities comprised in the wakala portfolio for a purchase price equal to the then market value of the commodities. The profit revenues in respect of the wakala portfolio payable to the issuer are expected to be sufficient to fund payment of periodic distribution amounts due on the certificates prior to a trust dissolution event or the scheduled dissolution date of the trust. The deferred payment price payable to the issuer under the murabaha contract will be sufficient to fund payment of the face amount and any periodic distribution amounts due on the certificates upon (and any additional periodic distribution amounts accruing for a period of up to 14 days following) the occurrence of a trust dissolution event or the scheduled dissolution date of the trust. Upon the payment of the face amount and all outstanding periodic distribution amounts due on the certificates, the trust will be dissolved and certificateholders will forego the return of any surplus funds in respect of the wakala portfolio. Any surplus funds in respect of the wakala portfolio existing at the date of dissolution of the trust shall be paid to J. Aron & Company as an incentive fee for its performance as wakeel under the wakala arrangement. 1 BD-#21521170-v12
2. The issuer ’s ability to satisfy payments due on the certificates will ultimately depend upon J. Aron & Company and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. satisfying their unsecured payment obligations to the issuer under the transaction documents described in this prospectus. The insolvency of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is not a dissolution event under the certificates. The certificates are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by any government or governmental agency or insurance protection scheme. If the issuer, J. Aron & Company or The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. fails or goes bankrupt or otherwise fails to make payment in respect of its obligations as described in this prospectus, certificateholders will lose some or all of their investment. The certificates are expected to be assigned a rating of A- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and A by Fitch Ratings, Inc. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at anytime. This prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier as the Luxembourg competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Directive. Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the certificates to be admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for admission to trading on its regulated market (which is a regulated market for the purpose of Directive 2004/39/EC (known as the Market in Financial Instruments Directive)). The Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier gives no undertaking as to the economic soundness of the transaction and the quality and solvency of the issuer in line with the provisions of article 7(7) of the Luxembourg law on prospectuses for securities.

13. 2 Principal Features of the Certificates Certificates : U.S.$500,000,000 Certificates due 2019. Closing Date: 23 September 2014 Issue Price: 100 per cent. Periodic Distribution Dates: 23 March and 23 September in each year commencing on 23 March 2015 and ending on 23 September 2019. Periodic Distribution: On each Periodic Distribution Date, Certificateholders will receive a Periodic Distribution Amount in U.S. Dollars equalling the product of: (a) 2.844 per cent. per annum; and (b) the face amount of their Certificates; and (c) the number of days in the relevant period (the Return Accumulation Period) calculated on the basis of a year of 12 30day months divided by 360. See Condition 10 (Capital Distributions of the Trust on Dissolution) for further details. Return Accumulation Period: The period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the first Periodic Distribution Date and each successive period from and including a Periodic Distribution Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Periodic Distribution Date or, if earlier, the Trust Dissolution Date. If the Issuer defaults in any payment due on any Certificate on the Trust Dissolution Date there will be a further Return Accumulation Period which will expire upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all amounts payable on the Certificates is satisfied and (ii) the day falling 14 days after the Trust Dissolution Date. Scheduled Trust Maturity Date: Unless the Certificates are previously redeemed and cancelled, the Issuer will redeem the Certificates (and dissolve the Trust in relation thereto) for the Trust Dissolution Amount on 23 September 2019. It is expected that the Trust Dissolution Amount payable by the Issuer under the Certificates on the relevant Trust Dissolution Date will be funded by the outstanding Deferred Payment Price payable under the Murabaha Agreement. After paying the outstanding Periodic Distribution Amounts and the Deferred Payment Price, JANY will keep all outstanding credit of the Wakala Profit Revenues and the Exercise Price as an incentive fee. Early Dissolution of the Trust: The Trust may only be dissolved prior to the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date upon the occurrence of: (a) a Tax Event (as defined in Condition 10.2 (Early Trust Dissolution for Tax Reasons)); (b) a JANY Regulatory Change Event (as defined in Condition 10.3 (Early Trust Dissolution upon JANY Regulatory Change)); (c) a Clean-Up Event (as defined in Condition 10.4 (Early Trust BD-#21521170-v12 13
14. Dissolution upon Clean-Up Event )); (d) a Trust Dissolution Event (as defined in Condition 12 (Trust Dissolution Events)); and (e) a Change of Applicable Law (as defined in Condition 16 (Change of Applicable Law)). See Condition 10 (Capital Distributions of the Trust on Dissolution), Condition 12 (Trust Dissolution Events) and Condition 16 (Change of Applicable Law) for further details. Limited Recourse: Each Certificate will represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Assets, will be a limited recourse obligation of the Issuer and will rank pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other Certificates. No payment of any amount whatsoever shall be made in respect of the Certificates except to the extent that funds for that purpose are available from the Trust Assets. Following the occurrence of a Trust Dissolution Event, the Issuer’s sole right in respect of Wakala Commodities is to exercise its right under the Purchase Undertaking Deed to oblige JANY to acquire, or procure a third party purchaser to acquire, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities for a purchase price equal to the Market Value of the Wakala Commodities. Upon exercise of the Purchase Undertaking Deed the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities will, therefore, be exchanged for an unsecured debt claim against JANY. The Issuer will not at any time have any right to sell its beneficial interest in the Wakala Assets to a party other than JANY or a third party purchaser procured by JANY. The Certificateholders will have no direct recourse over the Wakala Commodities under English law. Certificateholders have no recourse to any assets of the Issuer (other than the Trust Assets), JANY (to the extent that it fulfils its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party), the Delegate, GSG (to the extent that it fulfils its obligations under the Guarantee), any Agent or any of their respective affiliates or against any of their respective assets (other than the Trust Assets) in respect of any shortfall in the expected amounts from the Trust Assets to the extent the Trust Assets have been enforced, realised and fully discharged following which all obligations of the Issuer, JANY and GSG shall be extinguished. Trust Assets: Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Issuer will declare that it will hold certain assets consisting of: (a) all of the Issuer’s rights, title, interest and benefit, present and future, in and to the Deferred Payment Price under the Murabaha Agreement; (b) the right, title, interest and benefit, present and future, of the Issuer in, to and under the Transaction Documents; (c) all monies standing to the credit of Transaction Account; and (d) the beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities, and all proceeds of the foregoing upon trust absolutely for the Certificateholders pro rata according to the face amount of BD-#21521170-v12 14

Form and Delivery of the Certificates: The Certificates will be issued in registered form represented by beneficial interests in a Global Certificate which will be deposited with, and registered in the name of a nominee for, a common depositary on or about the Closing Date for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Except in the limited instances described herein, definitive Certificates will not be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Global Certificate.

Clearance and Settlement: Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg Withholding Tax: All payments of amounts in respect of the Certificates by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes imposed or levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Relevant Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law. In that event, the appropriate withholding or deduction shall be made and the Issuer or the Paying Agent (as the case may be) shall make such payments after such tax deduction and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Agents shall be obligated to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amounts as a result. All payments by JANY under the Purchase Undertaking Deed and Sale Undertaking Deed and by GSG under the Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Relevant Jurisdiction unless the withholding or deduction is required by law.

17. (c) Dr Mohammed Elgari, has issued a fatwa as to their view on the Shari’a compliance of the transaction structure relating to the Certificates (as described in this Prospectus). Certificate purchasers should make their own determination as to Shari’a compliance of the Certificates. A fatwa is only an expression of the view of the advisory scholars as to compliance with Shari’a principles. It is not a binding opinion and nor does it imply any level of responsibility as to the genuineness of the Certificates, the Transaction Documents or the related structure. Potential investors should make their own determination as to Shari’a compliance of the Certificates and the underlying structure. See "Risk Factors relating to the Certificates" for further details. A copy of the fatwa is set out in the Annex to this Prospectus. 3 Key Structural Features Acquisition of Wakala Portfolio: On the Closing Date, the Wakala Capital will be invested in accordance with the Investement Plan in the Wakala Agreement as follows: (a) 51 per cent. of the Wakala Capital will be applied to acquire the beneficial interest in the Initial Wakala Commodity Assets pursuant to the Initial Asset Portfolio Sale Agreement; and (b) 49 per cent. of the Wakala Capital will be applied towards a contract for the sale of Commodities for a Deferred Payment Price in accordance with the terms of the Murabaha Agreement and the Wakala Agreement. See “Summary of the Principal Transaction Documents – Wakala Agreement” for further details. Murabaha Agreement: Pursuant to the Murabaha Agreement, the Issuer as Commodity Seller and JANY as Commodity Purchaser will enter into a murabaha contract whereby the Commodity Seller will, at the request of the Commodity Purchaser, acquire certain Shari’a compliant commodities. The Commodity Seller will immediately on-sell the Shari’a compliant commodities to the Commodity Purchaser on immediate delivery terms but with payment on a deferred basis. The amount of the Deferred Payment Price payable by the Commodity Purchaser will be U.S.$507,663,000. The Deferred Payment Price will be payable on the earlier of the occurrence of a Trust Dissolution Event, the Early Redemption Date or the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date. Guarantee: BD-#21521170-v12 Pursuant to the Guarantee, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (as the Guarantor) will agree to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Issuer the prompt and complete payment, when and to the extent due, of all payment obligations of JANY arising out of or under the Murabaha Agreement (including JANY’s obligation to pay the Deferred Payment Price). The Guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor. The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Certificates 17
18. themselves are not guaranteed by the Guarantor . The insolvency of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is not a dissolution event under the Certificates. See also “Summary of the Principal Transaction Documents – Guarantee” for further details. Purchase Undertaking Deed: Pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking Deed, JANY as Obligor will undertake to, upon delivery of a notice by the Issuer or the Delegate following a Trust Dissolution Event or a Change of Applicable Law, acquire, or procure a third party to acquire, the beneficial interest in the commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio for a purchase price equal to the Exercise Price. Upon exercise of the Purchase Undertaking Deed the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities will be exchanged for an unsecured debt claim against JANY. The Exercise Price is the Market Value of the relevant commodities on the Early Redemption Date. See “Principal Transaction Documents – Purchase Undertaking Deed” for further details. Sale Undertaking Deed: Pursuant to the Sale Undertaking Deed, the Issuer will covenant to JANY that it will, upon receipt of a notice from JANY following the occurrence of: (a) a Tax Event (as defined in Condition 10.2 (Early Dissolution for Tax Reasons)); (b) a JANY Regulatory Change Event (as defined in Condition 10.3 (Early Trust Dissolution upon Regulatory Change)); or (c) a Clean-Up Event (as defined in Condition 10.4 (Early Trust Dissolution upon Clean-Up Event)), sell the beneficial interest in the Commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio to JANY, or a third party purchaser procured by JANY, for a purchase price equal to the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price is the Market Value of the relevant commodities on the Early Redemption Date. See “Principal Transaction Documents – Sale Undertaking Deed” for further details. 4 Management of Wakala Portfolio Management by Wakeel: JANY as Wakeel will manage the Wakala Portfolio in accordance with the terms of the Wakala Agreement and, in particular, the Investment Plan set out therein. See “Principal Transaction Documents – Wakala Agreement” for further details. Substitution of Initial Wakala Commodity Assets: Profit Ledger: BD-#21521170-v12 The Wakeel may from time to time substitute any Wakala Commodities with other Commodities, provided always that the value of the substitute Wakala Commodities shall not be less than the value of the original Wakala Commodities at the time of such substitution. The Wakeel shall maintain a ledger entitled the Profit Ledger to 18
19. record the profit generated in relation to the Wakala Commodities . On the Business Day prior to each Periodic Distribution Date, the Wakeel will transfer an amount equal to the Periodic Distribution Amount representing profit (or Anticipated Profit) generated by the Wakala Commodities to the Transaction Account and debit amounts representing profit from the Profit Ledger. Amounts representing Anticipated Profit will be paid out of JANY’s own funds. See “Cashflows” for further details. Principal Ledger: The Wakeel shall maintain a ledger entitled the Principal Ledger to record the Shari’a complaint Wakala Commodities that then constitute the Wakala Portfolio. See “Cashflows” for further details. BD-#21521170-v12 19
20. RISK FACTORS Each of the Issuer , JANY and GSG believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations relating to Certificates. Most of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and neither the Issuer, JANY nor GSG is in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Certificates are also described below. Each of the Issuer, JANY and GSG believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Certificates, but the inability of the Issuer to pay Periodic Distribution Amounts, the Trust Dissolution Amount or other amounts on or in connection with any Certificate may occur for other reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer, JANY or GSG based on information currently available to them or which they may not currently be able to anticipate. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. Although the Issuer, JANY and GSG believe that the various structural elements of the transaction described in this Prospectus lessen some of these risks for Certificateholders, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to ensure payment to Certificateholders of the Periodic Distribution Amounts and Trust Dissolution Amount in respect of the Certificates on a timely basis or at all. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. Words and expressions defined in "Form of the Certificates" and "Terms and Conditions of the Certificates" shall have the same meanings in this section. Risk factors relating to JANY Risks which may affect the ability of JANY, in its capacity as Wakeel, Commodity Purchaser and Obligor, to fulfil its obligations under the Transaction Documents In the course of conducting its business activities, JANY is exposed to and may be affected by a variety of risks, including market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks and operational risks. Difficult macroeconomic and financial market conditions persisting from time to time could materially adversely affect JANY’s business, creditworthiness (or perceived creditworthiness), financial condition and prospects and, consequently, its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Wakala Agreement and Murabaha Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Undertaking Deed or Sale Undertaking Deed. There can be no assurance that JANY will be in a financial condition to fulfil its responsibilities as Wakeel throughout the term of the Certificates and, in the event that JANY fails to perform its payment obligations under the Transaction Documents, the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Certificates may be adversely affected. Issuer’s reliance on JANY’s performance as Wakeel JANY is responsible for investing the Wakala Capital for and on behalf of the Issuer. The successful investment of the Wakala Capital and achieving the expected return in accordance with the Investment Plan depends upon JANY’s performance. No representation or warranty is made as to the skills or experience of JANY. If JANY fails to achieve a sufficient return or realises losses on the Wakala Capital, the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Certificates may be adversely affected and the Trust may be dissolved prior to the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date. Risk factors relating to GSG Risks which may affect the ability of GSG, in its capacity as Guarantor, to fulfil its obligations under the Guarantee In the course of conducting its business activities, GSG is exposed to and may be affected by a variety of risks, including market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks and operational risks. Difficult macroeconomic and financial market conditions persisting from time to time could materially adversely affect BD-#21521170-v12 20
21. GSG ’s businesses, creditworthiness (or perceived creditworthiness whether measured by actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings), financial condition and prospects and, consequently, its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Guarantee in the event that a demand for payment is made. If GSG fails to pay under the Guarantee, the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the Certificates may be adversely affected. The risk factors relating to, in particular, GSG have been incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and can be found in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A (pages 24-39) of GSG’s 2013 Form 10-K. Certain considerations relating to an insolvency of the Guarantor The Guarantor guarantees the payment obligations of JANY under the Murabaha Agreement. The Guarantor could become subject to insolvency proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although the Issuer (or the Delegate following a Trust Dissolution Event) would continue to have a general unsecured claim against the debtor estate of the Guarantor for amounts owing under the Guarantee upon a default by JANY, the legal consequences of these proceedings could adversely affect the Issuer’s contractual rights under the Guarantee. As a result, the amount the Issuer receives on the Guarantee may be reduced and the timing of these payments could be adversely affected. Furthermore, Certificateholders may be required to direct the Delegate to take action to protect and preserve the value of this claim. The Guarantor could also become subject to insolvency proceedings under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, entitled Orderly Liquidation Authority, enacted in July 2010, which has created an alternative insolvency regime available to federal regulators in cases where the failure of a financial company would adversely affect the financial stability of the United States. Under this new insolvency regime, referred to as “orderly liquidation,” the determination of whether a financial company’s failure under otherwise applicable insolvency law would adversely affect the financial stability of the United States (thereby making orderly liquidation applicable) would not be made until the time of its failure. At such time, federal regulators may determine that the failure of the Guarantor or one of its affiliates under otherwise applicable insolvency law would adversely affect the financial stability of the United States, in which event orderly liquidation should apply. Unlike proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which are conducted in federal courts, orderly liquidation is an administrative insolvency regime under which decisions are made by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation acting as receiver for the failed financial company. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is granted significant discretion in exercising the powers granted under orderly liquidation and claimants have only limited judicial review of its actions. Orderly liquidation is a new law and therefore there is a significant uncertainty as to how legal and factual issues under its provisions would be resolved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a court. Furthermore, under orderly liquidation, a receiver for the Guarantor would be permitted to transfer the Guarantee of JANY’s obligations under the Murabaha Agreement issued by the Guarantor to a thirdparty financial institution or a specially chartered bridge company that would be operated by the receiver, notwithstanding any contractual restrictions against such a transfer. In either case, the transferee would be required to assume all of the Guarantor’s rights and obligations under the Guarantee. The transferee’s identity and creditworthiness cannot be ascertained in advance. If the Guarantee is not transferred, the Issuer would continue to have a general unsecured claim against the debtor estate of the Guarantor for amounts owing under the Guarantee upon a default by JANY, although the legal consequences of these proceedings could adversely affect the Issuer’s contractual rights under the Guarantee. As a result, the amount the Issuer receives on the Guarantee may be reduced and the timing of these payments could be adversely affected, impacting the Issuer’s ability to repay amounts due under the Certificates. Furthermore, Certificateholders may be required to direct the Delegate to take action to protect and preserve the value of this claim. As the insolvency of the Guarantor is not a dissolution event under the Certificates, in proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or in orderly liquidation in the event that the Guarantee is not transferred, the claim against the Guarantor under the Guarantee would be contingent in nature and of uncertain or no value if there has been no Trust Dissolution Event with respect to the Issuer. BD-#21521170-v12 21
22. Risk factors relating to the Issuer The Issuer has no operating history and no material assets and will depend on receipt of payments from JANY and GSG in order to make payments to Certificateholders The Issuer was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 28 April 2014 as an exempted company with limited liability . The Issuer is a newly formed entity and has no operating history. The Issuer’s only material assets, which will be held by it in its capacity as Issuer on trust for Certificateholders, will be the Trust Assets, including the right to receive from GSG certain payments under the Guarantee executed by GSG in favour of the Issuer, the Murabaha Agreement, the Purchase Undertaking Deed, the Sale Undertaking Deed and the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party. There can be no assurance that the amounts payable to the Issuer pursuant to the relevant Transaction Documents will be sufficient to ensure payment to Certificateholders of the Periodic Distribution Amounts or the Trust Dissolution Amount in respect of the Certificates on a timely basis, in full or at all. To the extent that the Issuer relies on payments from JANY or GSG, the Issuer is subject to all the risks to which JANY and GSG are subject, to the extent that such risks could limit JANY’s or GSG’s ability to satisfy in full and on a timely basis their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to make payments to the Issuer. See "Risk factors relating to JANY and GSG" for a further description of certain of these risks. Risk factors relating to the Certificates Investors must make their own determination as to Shari’a compliance The Shari’a Advisory Group has issued a fatwa in respect of the Certificates and the related structure and mechanics described in the Transaction Documents and their compliance with Shari’a principles. However, a fatwa is only an expression of the view of the members of the Shari’a Advisory Group based on their experience in the subject and is not a binding opinion. There can be no assurance as to the Shari’a permissibility of the structure or the issue and the trading of the Certificates and none of the Issuer, the Delegate, JANY, GSG, the Arranger, the Managers nor NCB make any representation as to the same. In addition, the review by the Shari’a Advisory Group of the Certificates, the Transaction Documents and the related structure does not constitute and should not be construed as constituting or implying the assumption of any responsibility by the Shari’a Advisory Group or any other person of the genuineness or otherwise of the Certificates, the Transaction Documents or any matter related thereto. Investors are reminded that, as with any Shari’a views, differences in opinion are possible. Questions as to the Shari’a permissibility of the structure or the issue and the trading of the Certificates may limit the liquidity and adversely affect the market value of the Certificates. Investors are advised to obtain their own independent Shari’a advice as to whether the structure meets their individual standards of compliance and make their own determination as to the future tradability of the Certificates on any secondary market. There can be no assurance that the standards of Shari’a compliance will stay the same after the Closing Date; if standards change, neither the Issuer nor any other person is under any obligation to inform the Certificateholders. In addition, prospective investors are reminded that the enforcement of any obligations of any of the parties under the Transaction Documents would, if in dispute, be the subject of court proceedings under the laws of England and Wales and, in the case of the Guarantee, the laws of the State of New York, USA. Absence of secondary market and limited liquidity There is no assurance that there is an active and liquid secondary market for the Certificates, and there is no assurance that a secondary market for the Certificates will develop or, if it does develop, that it will provide Certificateholders with liquidity of investment for the life of the Certificates. Any investor in the Certificates must be prepared to hold their Certificates for an indefinite period of time or until the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date or alternatively such investor may only be able to sell the Certificates at a discount to the original purchase price of those Certificates. Accordingly, the purchase of the Certificates is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with a lack of liquidity in the Certificates and the financial and other risks associated with an investment in the BD-#21521170-v12 22
23. Certificates . An investor in the Certificates must be prepared to hold the Certificates for an indefinite period of time or until their maturity. An application has been made for the listing of the Certificates on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange but there can be no assurance that any such listing will occur on or prior to the date of this Prospectus or at all or, if it does occur, that it will enhance the liquidity of the Certificates. The Certificates are limited recourse obligations The Certificates are not debt obligations of the Issuer. Instead, the Certificates represent an interest in the Trust Assets and are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. Recourse to the Issuer in respect of each Certificate is limited to the Trust Assets and the proceeds of such Trust Assets are the sole source of payments on the relevant Certificates. Upon the occurrence of a Trust Dissolution Event, or early dissolution pursuant to Condition 10.2 (Early Trust Dissolution for Tax Reasons), the sole rights of each of the Issuer, the Delegate and the Certificateholders will be against JANY and, as the case may be, GSG to: (i) pay the Periodic Distribution Amounts and the Trust Dissolution Amount or, as applicable, the Exercise Price; and (ii) otherwise perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents. Certificateholders will otherwise have no recourse to any assets of the Issuer (including its directors and corporate service providers), the Delegate (to the extent the Trust Assets have been exhausted), GSG (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Guarantee), JANY, the Managers, NCB or the Agents (as defined in the Conditions) or any affiliate of any of the foregoing entities in respect of any shortfall in the expected amounts due under the Trust Assets. JANY and GSG are obliged to make certain payments under the respective Transaction Documents to which they are a party directly to the Issuer and the Issuer and the Delegate will have direct recourse against JANY and GSG to recover payments due to the Issuer from JANY and GSG pursuant to such Transaction Documents. There can be no assurance that the proceeds of the realisation of, or enforcement with respect to, the Trust Assets will be sufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Certificates. Furthermore, under no circumstances shall any Certificateholder, the Issuer or the Delegate have: (i) any right to cause the sale or other disposition of any of the Trust Assets except pursuant to the Murabaha Agreement or the Purchase Undertaking Deed; or (ii) any other recourse against the Trust Assets, except the right to receive distributions derived from the Trust Assets in accordance with the Conditions, and the sole right of the Issuer, the Delegate and the Certificateholders against JANY and GSG shall be to enforce their respective payment obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are a party. Nature of the Guarantee Pursuant to the Guarantee, GSG guarantees the prompt and complete satisfaction, when and to the extent due, of all payment obligations of JANY arising out of or under the Murabaha Agreement. The Guarantee does not guarantee the Issuer’s payment obligations under the Certificates nor does it guarantee that a Certificateholder will receive on any Periodic Distribution Date or the applicable Trust Dissolution Date their expected return on their original investment. The scope of the Guarantee only extends to the satisfaction of the aforementioned JANY payment obligations. Prospective Certificateholders should note that if they do not receive payment in full of the Periodic Distribution Amounts or Trust Dissolution Amount due on Certificates held by them on the due date therefor (taking into account any applicable grace period), the Issuer and the Delegate would not have any recourse to the Guarantor unless such shortfall directly results from the default of the Guarantor in the performance of its obligations under the Guarantee. The Issuer and the Delegate will not have any recourse to the Guarantor to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Guarantee. The insolvency of GSG is not a dissolution event under the Certificates with the consequence that any claim for payment made under the Guarantee may be adversely affected by the insolvency of GSG. For further information on the structure underlying the Certificates and the obligations owed in relation thereto, see the section in this Prospectus entitled "Structure Overview" above. BD-#21521170-v12 23
24. The Certificates may be subject to early redemption at the option of JANY The Certificates may be redeemed at the option of JANY prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Condition 10 (Capital Distributions of the Trust on Dissolution) if: (a) JANY as Commodity Purchaser or Obligor has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts pursuant to the terms of the Murabaha Agreement or Purchase Undertaking Deed, as applicable, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Closing Date and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to JANY; (b) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations applicable to JANY or to commodities brokers generally JANY is no longer able or authorised to hold or deal in physical commodities of the nature included in the Wakala Assets; or (c) the Market Value of the Wakala Commodities at any time during the term of the Certificates is less than 30 per cent. of the face amount of the Certificates. The Certificates may be subject to early redemption at the option of the Issuer The Certificates may be redeemed by the Issuer prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Condition 16 (Change of Applicable Law) upon the Issuer becoming aware of the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law which has the effect that the performance of its obligations under the Certificates has become unlawful or impractical in whole or in part. Certificates where denominations involve integral multiples: Definitive Certificates In relation to any issue of Certificates which have denominations consisting of a minimum Specified Denomination plus one or more higher integral multiples of another smaller amount, it is possible that such Certificates may be traded in amounts that are not integral multiples of such minimum Specified Denomination. In such case, a Certificateholder who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds an amount of Certificates which is less than the minimum Specified Denomination in their account with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time will not receive a Definitive Certificate in respect of such holding (should Definitive Certificates be printed) and would need to purchase such face amount of Certificates that their holding then amounts to a Specified Denomination. If Definitive Certificates are issued, Certificateholders should be aware that Definitive Certificates which have a denomination that is not an integral multiple of the minimum Specified Denomination may be illiquid and difficult to trade. Modification and waivers The Conditions contain provisions for calling meetings of Certificateholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally, including with respect to the modification of the Conditions or any of the Transaction Documents. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Certificateholders, including Certificateholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and/or did not sign the Written Resolution or provide the relevant Electronic Consent and Certificateholders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. See Condition 13.4 (Modification and Waiver, Meetings of Certificateholders) for further details of such matters. Risk factors relating to the Trust Assets Transfer of Commodities No investigation has been or will be made to determine if the Initial Wakala Commodity Assets purchased by the Issuer on or about the Closing Date, or any subsequent Commodities acquired by JANY as Wakeel on behalf of the Issuer, will have the effect of transferring the beneficial interest in BD-#21521170-v12 24
25. the Commodities to the Issuer as a matter of the law of the jurisdiction where such Commodities are located or any other relevant law . Limited recourse The Certificateholders shall have no recourse against the Issuer, the Delegate, JANY or GSG other than in respect of the proceeds of the Trust Assets in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Following the occurrence of a Trust Dissolution Event, the Issuer’s sole right in respect of Wakala Commodities is to exercise its right under the Purchase Undertaking Deed to oblige JANY to acquire, or procure a third party purchaser to acquire, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities for a purchase price equal to the Market Value of the Wakala Commodities. Upon exercise of the Purchase Undertaking Deed the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities will, therefore, be exchanged for an unsecured debt claim against JANY. The Issuer will not at any time have any right to sell its beneficial interest in the Wakala Assets to a party other than JANY or a third party purchaser procured by JANY. The Certificateholders will have no direct recourse over the Wakala Commodities under English law. The Certificateholders will not have any rights of enforcement as against the Wakala Assets and their rights in respect of the Trust Assets are limited to the proceeds of enforcement against: (i) JANY of its obligation to pay the purchase price for the Issuer’s interests, rights, benefits and entitlements in, to and under the Wakala Assets pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Undertaking Deed; (ii) JANY of its obligation to pay the Deferred Payment Price pursuant to the terms of the Murabaha Agreement; and (iii) GSG of its obligations to make payment under the Guarantee. Certificateholders should note that upon the Issuer or Delegate exercising its right to require JANY to acquire, or procure a third party to acquire, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking Deed, such beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities shall be transferred to JANY, or a third party procured by JANY irrespective of whether the Exercise Price is actually received by the Issuer. Accordingly, Certificateholders have no recourse to any assets of the Issuer (other than the Trust Assets), JANY (to the extent that it fulfils its obligations under the Wakala Agreement, Murabaha Agreement and Purchase Undertaking Deed), GSG (to the extent that it fulfils its obligations under the Guarantee), the Delegate or any Agent or any of their respective affiliates in respect of any shortfall in the expected amounts from the Trust Assets to the extent the Trust Assets have been enforced, realised and fully discharged following which all obligations of the Issuer, JANY, the Delegate or GSG shall be extinguished. Risk factors relating to payments Credit risk It is expected that the Issuer will fund the payment of the Trust Dissolution Amount from the Deferred Payment Price payable by JANY pursuant to the Murabaha Agreement (or, in the event that JANY fails to meet its payment obligations under the Murabaha Agreement, GSG under the Guarantee). If the Deferred Payment Price is not paid in whole or part, JANY as Wakeel is obliged to pay any amounts standing to the credit of the Profit Ledger or the Principal Ledger to make up any shortfall in funds available to the Issuer to pay the Trust Dissolution Amount, but the payment of such amounts is not supported by GSG under the Guarantee. The Issuer will fund payments of Periodic Distribution Amounts from Wakala Profit Revenues or Anticipated Profit generated from the Wakala Capital invested in the Wakala Commodities to be paid by JANY as Wakeel in accordance with the Wakala Agreement. These obligations of JANY and GSG to pay the Issuer are unsecured obligations of JANY and GSG (as applicable) and, accordingly, investors will be subject to the full credit risk of JANY and GSG in relation to Periodic Distribution Amounts and the Trust Dissolution Amount. Further, any failure or delay in payment of the Wakala Profit Revenue and/or the Deferred Payment Price by JANY (or, in the event that JANY fails to meet its payment obligations under the Murabaha BD-#21521170-v12 25
26. Agreement , GSG under the Guarantee) by JANY: (i) may result in a failure or delay in payment of Periodic Distribution Amounts or the Trust Dissolution Amount due on the relevant Periodic Distribution Dates or Trust Dissolution Date (subject to the applicable grace period); and (ii) may constitute a Trust Dissolution Event and require the Certificates to be redeemed in accordance with the Conditions. Entitlement to Periodic Distribution Amounts ceases on the Trust Dissolution Date Under the Conditions of the Certificates, Periodic Distribution Amounts will cease to accrue 14 days after the Trust Dissolution Date irrespective of whether the Trust Dissolution Amount is satisfied in full on such date. Risk factors relating to taxation Taxation risks on payments Payments made by JANY and GSG to the Issuer under the Transaction Documents, or by the Issuer in respect of the Certificates, or revenues generated by the Trust Assets and received by the Issuer, could become subject to withholding or deduction for or on account of taxation. In respect of any Relevant Jurisdiction, and subject to the following paragraphs, the Murabaha Agreement, the Wakala Agreement, the Purchase Undertaking Deed, the Sale Undertaking Deed and the Guarantee each require JANY and GSG, as applicable, to pay additional amounts in the event that any withholding or deduction is required to be made in respect of payments made by either of them to the Issuer under those documents. The obligation of JANY or GSG to pay additional amounts to the Issuer with respect to U.S. Taxes is subject to several important exceptions. JANY and GSG will not pay additional amounts in respect of any payment that is directly attributable to a payment by the Issuer of a Periodic Distribution Amount, Trust Dissolution Amount or other amounts payable to a Certificateholder on or in connection with any Certificate for or on account of any of the following: (a) any U.S. Tax imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between the beneficial owner of the Certificate, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, shareholder or member of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, and the United States (other than the mere receipt of a payment or the ownership or holding of a Certificate), including because the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, shareholder or member, at any time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) is or was a citizen or resident or is or was treated as a resident of the United States; (ii) is or was present in the United States; (iii) is or was engaged in a trade or business in the United States; (iv) has or had a permanent establishment in the United States; (v) is or was a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation; (vi) is or was a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; (vii) is or was the owner or deemed owner of 10 per cent. or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of GSG entitled to vote; (b) any U.S. Tax imposed solely because of a change in applicable law or regulation, or in any official interpretation or application of applicable law or regulation, that becomes effective after the Closing Date; (c) any U.S. estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax, or any similar Tax; BD-#21521170-v12 26
27. (d) any U.S. Tax imposed solely because the beneficial holder or any other person fails to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or any beneficial owner of the Certificates, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the U.S. Treasury department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (e) any U.S. Tax that can be paid other than by deduction or withholding from a payment on the Certificates; (f) any U.S. Tax imposed solely because the payment is to be made by a particular paying agent (including GSG) and would not be imposed if made by another paying agent; or (g) any combination of the taxes, assessments or other governmental charges described above. If any of these exceptions apply to any payment or portion of a payment, JANY or GSG, as applicable, will withhold such amounts as are required under U.S. law and no additional amounts will be paid in respect thereof. Such withheld amounts will reduce the amount payable to the Certificateholder with respect to whom such withholding was made. In addition, any amounts to be paid by JANY and GSG will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to FATCA, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of FATCA, and no additional amounts will be required to be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding. The Issuer will not gross up or otherwise pay additional amounts in respect of any deductions on payments on the Certificates that are required by law and Certificateholders will have no recourse to the Issuer in relation to such withheld amounts. Certificateholders should therefore note that the receipt of payments on the Certificates may be adversely affected by any existing law (other than in a Relevant Jurisdiction – see “Taxation“) or change in existing law in any jurisdiction that requires the Issuer to make deductions on payments on the Certificates. FATCA withholding may apply to payments on the Certificates, including as a result of the failure of the bank or broker through which a Certificateholder holds the Certificates to provide information to tax authorities The Certificates could be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30 per cent. under FATCA. This tax could apply if a Certificateholder or any non-U.S. person or entity that receives a payment (directly or indirectly) on such Certificateholder’s behalf (including a bank, custodian, broker or other payee, at any point in the series of payments made on the Certificate) does not comply with the U.S. information reporting, withholding, identification, certification, and related requirements imposed by FATCA. The payments potentially subject to this withholding tax include Periodic Distributions as well as, after 1 January, 2017, payments made upon maturity, redemption, or sale of the Certificates. Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on FATCA. Certificateholders could be affected by this withholding if, for example, the bank or broker through which a Certificateholder holds the Certificates is subject to withholding because it fails to comply with these requirements. This might be the case even if the Certificateholder would not otherwise have been directly subject to withholding. Accordingly, Certificateholders should consult their bank or broker about the likelihood that payments to such bank or broker (for credit to a Certificateholder) will become subject to withholding in the payment chain. No additional amounts will be paid in respect of this withholding tax, so if this withholding applies, Certificateholders will receive significantly less than the amount that they would have otherwise received with respect to the Certificates. Depending on the circumstances of the Certificateholder, the Certificateholder may be entitled to a refund or credit in respect of some or all of this withholding. However, even if the Certificateholder is entitled to have any such withholding refunded, the required BD-#21521170-v12 27
28. procedures could be cumbersome and significantly delay the receipt of any withheld amounts . For more information, see “Material U.S. Tax Considerations” below. In addition, the Certificates may also be subject to other U.S. withholding taxes as described in “Material U.S. Tax Considerations” below. EU Savings Directive Under EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income (the EU Savings Directive), EU member states are required to provide to the tax authorities of another EU member state details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual resident in that other EU member state or to certain limited types of entities established in that other EU member state. However, for a transitional period, Luxembourg and Austria are instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non EU countries and territories have adopted similar measures. In April 2013, the Luxembourg Government announced its intention to abolish the withholding system with effect from 1 January 2015, in favour of automatic exchange under the EU Savings Directive. Prospective holders of Certificates should note that an amended version of the Savings Directive was adopted by the European Council on 24 March 2014, which is intended to close loopholes identified in the current Savings Directive. The amendments, which must be transposed by Member States prior to 1 January 2016 and which will apply from 1 January 2017, will extend the scope of the Savings Directive to (i) payments made through certain intermediate structures (whether or not established in a Member State) for the ultimate benefit of an EU resident individual, and (ii) a wider range of income similar to interest. If a payment were to be made or collected through an EU member state which operates a withholding system and an amount of, or in respect of, tax were to be withheld from that payment, neither the Issuer nor the Principal Paying Agent nor any other person would be obliged to pay additional amounts with respect to any Certificate as a result of the imposition of such withholding tax. Pursuant to Condition 17.1(b), so long as such a jurisdiction exists, the Issuer is required to maintain a paying agent in an EU member state that is not obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, the EU Savings Directive. Additional risks Suitability of investments The Certificates may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in Certificates must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should: (a) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Certificates, the merits and risks of investing in the Certificates and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus; (b) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Certificates and the impact the Certificates will have on its overall investment portfolio; (c) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Certificates, including where the currency of payment is different from the potential investor’s currency; (d) understand thoroughly the terms of the Certificates and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and BD-#21521170-v12 28
29. (e) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks. Credit ratings may not reflect all risks One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Certificates. The ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above and other factors that may affect the value of the Certificates. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time. In general, European regulated investors are restricted under the Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation) from using credit ratings for regulatory purposes, unless such ratings are issued by a credit rating agency established in the EU and registered under the CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended), subject to transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances whilst the registration application is pending. Such general restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings issued by non-EU credit rating agencies, unless the relevant credit ratings are endorsed by an EU-registered credit rating agency or the relevant non-EU rating agency is certified in accordance with the CRA Regulation (and such endorsement action or certification, as the case may be, has not been withdrawn or suspended). Change of law The Conditions and the Transaction Documents (other than the Guarantee) are based on English law in effect as at the date of this Prospectus. The Guarantee is based on New York law in effect as at the date of this Prospectus. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to English law, New York law or administrative practice after the date of this Prospectus. Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or the review of such laws and regulations by certain governmental or regulatory authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent: (i) the Certificates constitute legal investments for it; (ii) the Certificates can be used as collateral for various types of financing; and (iii) other restrictions apply to any purchase or pledge of any Certificates by the investor. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Certificates under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules and regulations.

34. CASHFLOWS Use of Ledgers by Wakeel The Wakeel will open and maintain the following ledgers in which the Wakeel will record profit and principal in respect of the Wakala Assets . Principal Ledger The Wakeel will credit the following to the Principal Ledger: (a) on each Business Day, the Market Value of the Wakala Commodities; and (b) on each Business Day, the amount representing the principal component of any Wakala Commodities sold and not invested in further Commodities. Profit Ledger The Wakeel will credit to the Profit Ledger: (a) on each Business Day, the Wakala Profit Revenues generated by the Wakeel through commodity trades in respect of the Wakala Commodities and, to the extent determined necessary by the Wakeel, any Anticipated Profit; and (b) on payment of the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price. The Wakeel shall on the Business Day prior to each Periodic Distribution Date other than the final Profit Payment Date falling on the Trust Dissolution Date, apply amounts standing to the credit of the Profit Ledger representing profit, if any, or Anticipated Profit generated by the Wakala Commodities and debit the same from the Profit Ledger in the following order of priority: (a) first, payment (on behalf of the Issuer) of all due and unpaid Management Liabilities Amounts; and (b) second, payment into the Transaction Account of an amount equal to the Periodic Distribution Amount due to Certificateholders on that Periodic Distribution Date. Amounts representing Anticipated Profit will be paid out of JANY’s own funds and JANY shall have the right to reimburse itself out of Wakala Profit Revenues generated by the Wakala Commodities to the extent that such profits are generated. Closing Date - Payments by the Certificateholders and the Issuer Pursuant to the Wakala Agreement, the Issuer and the Wakeel have agreed that the Wakeel (as agent for and on behalf of the Issuer) will, inter alia, apply the Wakala Capital in accordance with the Wakala Agreement (see “Summary of Principal Transaction Documents – Wakala Agreement”) to acquire a beneficial interest in the Initial Wakala Commodity Assets and enter into the Murabaha Agreement. Periodic Distribution Payments Payments by Wakeel Pursuant to the Wakala Agreement, on the Business Day prior to each Periodic Distribution Date, the Wakeel (on behalf of the Issuer) shall apply amounts standing to the credit of the Profit Ledger towards: (a) first, payment (on behalf of the Issuer) of all due and unpaid Management Liabilities Amounts; and BD-#21521170-v12 34
35. (b) second, payment into the Transaction Account of an amount equal to the Periodic Distribution Amount due to Certificateholders on that Periodic Distribution Date. If the balance of the Profit Ledger on such Profit Payment Date exceeds the aggregate of the amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) immediately above, the excess shall be retained as a credit balance on the Profit Ledger. Trust Dissolution Payment The Certificates will be redeemed on the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date or may be redeemed prior to the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date by reason of the occurrence of: (i) a Trust Dissolution Event that is continuing; (ii) a Tax Event; (iii) a JANY Regulatory Change Event; (iv) a Clean-Up Event; or (v) a Change of Applicable Law. The Trust Dissolution Amount payable on the Trust Dissolution Date will be funded by payment of the Deferred Payment Price into the Transaction Account by the Commodity Purchaser (or, to the extent such amount or part thereof is not paid by the Commodity Purchaser, paid by GSG under the Guarantee). If the Deferred Payment Price is not paid in whole or part, the Wakeel is obliged to pay any amounts standing to the credit of the Profit Ledger or the Principal Ledger to make up any shortfall in funds available to the Issuer to pay the Trust Dissolution Amount. Upon payment in full of the Trust Dissolution Amount by the Issuer or Delegate, as the case may be, Certificateholders will forego the right to claim any amount standing to the credit of the Principal Ledger or Profit Ledger and such remaining credit balances on the Profit Ledger will represent the amount to be paid to JANY as an incentive fee for its performance as Wakeel. BD-#21521170-v12 35

In the case of Definitive Certificates, Certificateholder means the person in whose name such Certificate is for the time being registered in the Register (or, in the case of a joint holding, the first named thereof) and Certificateholder shall be construed accordingly. 3.3 Ownership The holder of any Certificate shall (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any other interest therein, any writing thereon or, in the case of Certificates, on the Certificate relating thereto (other than the endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) and no Person shall be liable for so treating such Certificateholder. 3.4 Disclaimer as to Clearing Systems and their agents and operators Any description in these Conditions as to payments being made or any other actions or duties being undertaken by any Clearing System (or its agents or operators) is based solely on the Issuer’s understanding of the relevant rules and/or operations of such Clearing System (and its agents and operators). The Issuer does not make any representation or warranty that such information is accurate or, in any event, that the relevant Clearing System (or its agents or operators) will make such payments or undertake such actions or duties in accordance with such description. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything else herein, none of the Issuer, the Delegate or the Agents has any responsibility for the performance by any Clearing System (or its agents or operators) of their respective payment, delivery, Certificateholder identification, or other obligations in respect of the Certificates as described herein and/or under the rules and procedures governing their operations. 4 4.1 Transfers of Certificates Transfers Subject to Condition 4.4 (Closed periods) and Condition 4.5 (Regulations concerning transfers and registration) and the provisions of the Agency Agreement, a Certificate may be transferred upon surrender of the relevant Certificate, with the endorsed form of transfer duly completed, at the Specified Office of the Registrar, together with such evidence and indemnity as the Registrar may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form of transfer; provided, however, that a Certificate may not be transferred unless the face amount of Certificates transferred and (where not all of the Certificates held by a Certificateholder are being transferred) the face amount of the balance of Certificates not transferred are Specified Denominations or any integral multiple thereof. Where not all the Certificates represented by the surrendered Certificate are the subject of the transfer, a new Certificate in respect of the balance of the Certificates will be issued to the transferor. Transfers of interests in the Certificates represented by a Global Certificate will be effected in accordance with the rules of the relevant clearing system through which the interest is held. 4.2 Registration and delivery of Certificates Within five business days of the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with Condition 4.1 (Transfers) above, the Registrar will register the transfer in question and deliver a new Certificate of the same face amount to the Certificates transferred to each relevant BD-#21521170-v12 38
39. Certificateholder at its Specified Office or (at the request and risk of any such relevant Certificateholder) by uninsured first class mail (airmail if overseas) to the address specified for the purpose by such relevant Certificateholder. In this Condition 4.2, business day means a day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign currencies) in the city where the Registrar has its Specified Office. 4.3 No charge The transfer of a Certificate will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Registrar or by any Transfer Agent but upon payment, or the giving of such indemnity as the Issuer, any Transfer Agent or the Registrar may require, in respect of any Tax or other duty of whatsoever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Issuer, JANY nor GSG shall be liable to pay any charges imposed by the Registrar, the Issuer or Transfer Agent. 4.4 Closed periods Certificateholders may not require transfers of Certificates represented by a Certificate to be registered during the period of fifteen (15) days ending on the due date for any payment of the Trust Dissolution Amount or any other date on which payment of the face amount or payment of any Periodic Distribution Amount in respect of a Certificate falls due. 4.5 Regulations concerning transfers and registration All transfers of Certificates and entries on the Register are subject to the detailed regulations concerning the transfer of Certificates scheduled to the Declaration of Trust. The regulations may only be changed by the Issuer with the consent of the Delegate. A copy of the current regulations will be mailed (free of charge) by the Registrar to any Certificateholder who requests in writing a copy of such regulations. 5 5.1 Status, Guarantee and Limited Recourse Status of the Certificates The Certificates constitute direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves. Each Certificate will represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Assets (pursuant to the Declaration of Trust) and will be a limited recourse obligation of the Issuer. 5.2 Guarantee The prompt and complete payment, when and to the extent due, of the payment obligations of JANY arising out of or under the Murabaha Agreement are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by GSG to the Issuer pursuant to the Guarantee made by GSG (as the Guarantor) in favour of the Issuer. The Guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor. 5.3 Limited Recourse The proceeds of the Trust Assets are the sole source of payments on the Certificates. The Certificates do not represent an interest in the Issuer or an interest or obligation of any of JANY, GSG, the Delegate, any of the Agents or any of their respective affiliates. The net proceeds of the realisation of, or enforcement with respect to, the Trust Assets may not be sufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Certificates. If, following distribution of such proceeds, there remains a shortfall in payments due under the Certificates, subject to Condition 14 (Enforcement and Exercise of Rights), Certificateholders acknowledge that, by subscribing for or acquiring Certificates, they will not have any claim against the Issuer (and/or its directors, officers or shareholders), JANY (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Wakala Agreement, Murabaha Agreement and Purchase Undertaking Deed), GSG (to the extent that it BD-#21521170-v12 39
40. fulfils all of its obligations under the Guarantee ), the Delegate, the Agents or any of their respective affiliates, or against any of their respective assets (other than the Trust Assets) in respect of such shortfall and any unsatisfied claims of Certificateholders shall be extinguished. In particular, no Certificateholder will be able to petition for, or join any other person in instituting proceedings for, the reorganisation, liquidation, winding up or receivership of the Issuer (and/or its directors), JANY (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Wakala Agreement, Murabaha Agreement and Purchase Undertaking Deed), GSG (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Guarantee), the Delegate, the Agents or any of their respective affiliates as a consequence of such shortfall or otherwise. JANY and GSG are obliged to make certain payments under the respective Transaction Documents to which they are a party directly to the Issuer. The Issuer and the Delegate, as delegate of the Issuer for the Certificateholders, will have direct recourse against JANY and GSG (as applicable) to recover payments due to the Issuer from JANY and/or, as the case may be, GSG pursuant to such Transaction Documents. Neither the Issuer nor the Delegate shall be liable for the late, partial or non-recovery of any such payments from JANY or GSG save in the case of its wilful default, fraud or gross negligence. 5.4 Agreement of Certificateholders Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Conditions or any Transaction Document, the rights and entitlement of each Certificateholder under the Certificates are subject to the following conditions which are binding upon them: (a) no payment of any amount whatsoever shall be made by any of the Issuer, the Delegate (acting in the name and on behalf of the Issuer) or any of their respective agents on their behalf except to the extent funds are available therefor from the Trust Assets; (b) no recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or under any relevant Transaction Document, whether for the payment of any fee, indemnity or other amount hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon the Transaction Documents, against the Issuer (and/or its directors, officers, administrators or shareholders), JANY (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Wakala Agreement, Murabaha Agreement and Purchase Undertaking Deed), GSG (to the extent that it fulfils all of its obligations under the Guarantee), the Delegate, any Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates to the extent the Trust Assets have been exhausted following which all obligations of the Issuer, the Delegate, JANY, GSG, any Agents and their respective agents or affiliates shall be extinguished; (c) prior to the date which is one year and one day after the date on which all amounts owing by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been paid in full, each Certificateholder will not institute against, or join with any other person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganisation, arrangement or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law; (d) no recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document shall be had against any shareholder, member, officer, agent or director of the Issuer, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise. The obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party are corporate limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, members, officers, agents or directors of the Issuer save in the case of their wilful default or actual fraud. Reference in these Conditions to wilful default or actual fraud means a finding to such effect by a court of competent jurisdiction in relation to the conduct of the relevant party; and (e) it shall not be entitled to claim or exercise any right of set-off, counterclaim, abatement or other similar remedy which it might otherwise have, under the laws of any jurisdiction, in respect of such Certificate.

For this purpose, Periodic Distribution Date means 23 March and 23 September or if such day is not a Business Day the following Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next month, in which event such day shall be the immediately preceding Business Day and, subject to Condition 9.2 (Cessation of Profit Entitlement), ending on the Trust Dissolution Date. Such Periodic Distribution Amounts will be payable in respect of each related Return Accumulation Period. If there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in which a Periodic Distribution Date should occur, or if any Periodic Distribution Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, then the relevant Periodic Distribution Date shall fall on the next following Business Day. 9.2 Cessation of Profit Entitlement Provided that, upon due presentation payment is not improperly withheld or refused, no further amounts will be payable on any Certificate from and including the Trust Dissolution Date, unless default is made in payment of the Trust Dissolution Amount in which case Periodic Distribution Amounts will continue to accrue in respect of the Certificates in the manner provided in this Condition 9 (Periodic Distribution Provisions) provided that the additional Return Accumulation Period will expire upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all amounts payable on any Certificate is satisfied and (ii) the day falling 14 days after the Trust Dissolution Date. BD-#21521170-v12 43
44. 9 .3 Determination of Periodic Distribution Amount The Periodic Distribution Amount payable in respect of each Certificate for any Return Accumulation Period shall be an amount equal to the product of: 9.4 10 10.1 (a) the Profit Rate; (b) the outstanding face amount of the relevant Certificate; and (c) the number of days in such Return Accumulation Period (calculated on the basis of twelve 30-day months) divided by 360 (with the result being rounded to the nearest U.S.$0.01, U.S.$0.005 being rounded upwards) (such amount being the Periodic Distribution Amount). If any Periodic Distribution Amount is required to be calculated for a period other than a Return Accumulation Period, such Periodic Distribution Amount shall be calculated by multiplying: (a) the Profit Rate; (b) the outstanding face amount of the relevant Certificate; and (c) the number of days in the relevant period (calculated on the basis of twelve 30-day months) divided by 360 (with the result being rounded to the nearest U.S.$0.01, U.S.$0.005 being rounded upwards).

Following receipt by the Issuer of a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice from JANY specifying the due date for redemption of the Certificates (in whole but not in part) and the applicable Record Date, the Issuer shall, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Delegate and the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices) (which notice shall be irrevocable), dissolve the Trust and redeem (in whole but not in part) the Certificates at their Trust Dissolution Amount on the date specified in such notice. Prior to the publication of any notice of dissolution pursuant to this Condition 10.3, JANY shall deliver to the Delegate a certificate duly completed and executed by two JANY Authorised Signatories confirming that a JANY Regulatory Change Event has occurred and the particulars thereof and the Delegate shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in this Condition 10.3 in which event it shall be conclusive and binding upon the Certificateholders.

Following receipt by the Issuer of a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice from JANY, specifying the due date for redemption of the Certificates (in whole but not in part) and the applicable Record Date, the Issuer shall, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Delegate and the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices) BD-#21521170-v12 45

BD-#21521170-v12 46
47. 11 Payments in respect of Certificates 11 .1 Trust Dissolution Amounts: In respect of any Definitive Certificates, payments of any Trust Dissolution Amount shall be made by cheque drawn in the currency in which the payment is due or, upon application by a holder of a Certificate to the Specified Office of the Principal Paying Agent, by transfer to an account denominated in U.S. Dollars and maintained by the payee with, a bank that processes payments in U.S. Dollars and upon surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Certificates at the Specified Office of any Paying Agent. 11.2 Payments in respect of Global Certificates: All payments in respect of a Global Certificate will be made to the person shown on the Register as the registered Certificateholder or the holder of record and, if no further payment falls to be made in respect of the Global Certificates, surrender of that Global Certificate to or to the order of the Registrar.

No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the Certificateholders in respect of such payments. 11.5 Payments on Business Days In respect of any Definitive Certificates, where payment is to be made by transfer to an account, payment instructions (for value on the due date or, if the due date is not a Payment Business Day, for value on the next succeeding Payment Business Day) will be initiated and, where payment is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed on the later of the due date for payment and the day on which the relevant Certificate is surrendered (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsed) at the Specified Office of a Paying Agent. If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of any Global Certificate is not a Payment Business Day, the Certificateholder shall not be entitled to payment in such place of the amount due until the next succeeding Payment Business Day and shall not be entitled to any amount or other payment in respect of any such delay.

BD-#21521170-v12 47
48. 12 12 .1 Trust Dissolution Events Trust Dissolution Events With respect to the Certificates each of the events and circumstances set out below shall constitute a trust dissolution event (each a Trust Dissolution Event): (a) subject to Condition 11 (Payments in respect of Certificates): (i) the Issuer does not pay any Periodic Distribution Amount on the due date for payment thereof and such default continues unremedied for a period of fourteen (14) days; and (ii) the Issuer does not pay the Trust Dissolution Amount when due on the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date and such default continues unremedied for a period of seven (7) days; (b) JANY does not pay on the due date any amount payable by it pursuant to a Transaction Document at the place and in the currency in which it is expressed to be payable unless its failure to pay is caused by an administrative or technical error and payment is made in full within one (1) Business Day of its due date; (c) the Issuer and/or JANY are unable to or admit their inability to pay their debts as they fall due or suspend making payments on any of their debts; or (d) a moratorium is declared in respect of any indebtedness of the Issuer and/or JANY. For the avoidance of doubt if either (c) or (d) occur with respect to GSG, such event will not constitute a Trust Dissolution Event for the purposes of the Certificates. 12.2 Consequences If a Trust Dissolution Event occurs, the Delegate shall, subject to it having been notified in writing of the occurrence of such Trust Dissolution Event (and subject to it being indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded by Certificateholders to its satisfaction), give notice in writing of the occurrence of such Trust Dissolution Event to the Certificateholders in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices) with a request to such holders to indicate if they wish the Trust to be dissolved.

Substitution of Wakala Commodities The Wakeel may from time to time substitute any Wakala Commodities with other Commodities, provided always that the aggregate value of the substitute Wakala Commodities shall not be less than the aggregate value of the substituted Wakala Commodities at the time of such substitution. Upon any such substitution of Wakala Commodities: (a) the substituted Wakala Commodities shall cease to form part of the Wakala Portfolio and shall be replaced for all purposes by the substitute Wakala Commodities; and (b) the Wakeel is irrevocably authorised by the Issuer to effect, and to do all such things as are necessary to effect, the transfer of beneficial title to the substituted Wakala Commodities from the Issuer to JANY.

In the notice of request to purchase, the Commodity Purchaser will irrevocably undertake to purchase the relevant Commodities from the Commodity Seller, and in the offer notice, to irrevocably and unconditionally pay to the Commodity Seller the Deferred Payment Price on the Trust Dissolution Date; and (c) upon the Commodity Purchaser countersigning the offer notice, the Commodity Purchaser will be irrevocably and unconditionally obliged to pay to the Commodity Seller the Deferred Payment Price in respect of the relevant Commodities on the Trust Dissolution Date. The amount of the Deferred Payment Price payable to the Commodity Seller by the Commodity Purchaser under the Murabaha Agreement will be equal to U.S.$507,663,000. The Commodity Purchaser may keep or on-sell any Commodities which are the subject of a Murabaha Agreement to a third party (other than the original supplier of the Commodities). JANY (as the Commodity Purchaser) will agree in the Murabaha Agreement to promptly on demand, indemnify the Issuer as Commodity Seller against: (a) any and all commodity taxes incurred in relation to or in connection with the Murabaha Agreement or any purchase of Commodities by the Issuer as Commodity Seller from the Supplier or any sale of Commodities, pursuant to the Murabaha Agreement, by the Seller to the Purchaser; and (b) any actual costs, expenses or actual losses (if any, but excluding any opportunity costs and funding costs) reasonably incurred as a result thereof. The Murabaha Agreement, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by English law. Commodity Purchase Letter of Understanding Pursuant to the Commodity Purchase Letter of Understanding, the Issuer will, on or about the Closing Date, purchase the Commodities requested by the Commodity Purchaser in a notice of request to purchase delivered under the Murabaha Agreement from the Supplier for the Commodity Purchase Price on immediate payment and delivery terms. The Issuer and the Supplier will agree in the Commodity Purchase Letter of Understanding that settlement of the Commodity Purchase Price shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Netting Deed. Commodity Sale Letter of Understanding Pursuant to the Commodity Sale Letter of Understanding, the Commodity Purchaser will, on the Settlement Date, sell the Commodities that it has acquired from the Issuer pursuant to the Murabaha Agreement to the On-Sale Broker for the Commodity Sale Price on immediate payment and delivery terms. The Commodity Purchaser will agree in the Commodity Sale Letter of Understanding that settlement of the Commodity Sale Price shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Netting Deed. Netting Deed Pursuant to the Netting Deed, each of the Supplier, the Issuer, the Commodity Purchaser and the OnSale Broker will agree that the obligation of the Issuer to pay the Commodity Purchase Price to the Supplier and the obligation of the Commodity Purchaser to pay the Commodity Sale Price to the Issuer in respect of the respective sales of Commodities under the Commodity Purchase Letter of Understanding and the Commodity Sale Letter of Understanding shall be netted off in accordance with the terms of the Netting Deed. The Purchase Undertaking Deed JANY will enter into the Purchase Undertaking Deed on or about the Closing Date, pursuant to which it will covenant to the Issuer and the Delegate that it will, upon delivery of a notice by the Issuer or the Delegate, on the Scheduled Trust Maturity Date or, as the case may be, following the occurrence of a BD-#21521170-v12 72
73. Trust Dissolution Event or Change of Applicable Law , on the Dissolution Event Redemption Date, either purchase, or procure a third party to purchase, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio at the Exercise Price. If a right pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking Deed is exercised, JANY and the Issuer will be required to enter into a sale agreement to effect the sale of the Issuer’s beneficial interest in Commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio to JANY. Following the delivery of an exercise notice in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Undertaking Deed, the Issuer’s interests, rights, benefits and entitlements in, to and under the Wakala Commodities shall transfer to the purchaser on the date specified in such exercise notice and, notwithstanding any provision of any other Transaction Document, the Issuer shall cease to have any interests, rights, benefits and entitlements in, to and under the Wakala Commodities. Accordingly, the Issuer shall not be entitled to demand the return or retransfer of the Wakala Commodities notwithstanding any failure by the purchaser to pay the Exercise Price on the Early Redemption Date but this shall not prejudice the Issuer’s right to receive payment of the Exercise Price which shall remain due and payable until payment is made. JANY will agree in the Purchase Undertaking Deed to promptly on written demand of the Issuer to pay all applicable taxes, fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with or incidental to the execution, delivery, filing, recording, registration, performance, amendment, release, discharge, enforcement or otherwise of the Purchase Undertaking Deed and any sale agreement executed pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking Deed. The Purchase Undertaking Deed, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by English law. The Sale Undertaking Deed The Issuer will enter into the Sale Undertaking Deed on the Closing Date, pursuant to which it will covenant to JANY that it will sell to JANY, or a third party designated by JANY, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio at the Exercise Price. The rights granted to JANY under the Sale Undertaking Deed are exercisable by delivering an Exercise Notice to the Issuer and Delegate following the occurrence of a Tax Event, a JANY Regulatory Change Event or a Clean-Up Event. If a right pursuant to the Sale Undertaking Deed is exercised, JANY and the Issuer will be required to enter into a sale agreement to effect the sale of the Issuer’s beneficial interest in Commodities comprised in the Wakala Portfolio to JANY. Following the delivery of an Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms of the Sale Undertaking Deed, the Issuer’s interests, rights, benefits and entitlements in, to and under the Wakala Commodities shall transfer to the purchaser on the Early Redemption Date specified in such Exercise Notice and, notwithstanding any provision of any other Transaction Document, the Issuer shall cease to have any interests, rights, benefits and entitlements in, to and under the Wakala Commodities. Accordingly, the Issuer shall not be entitled to demand the return or retransfer of the Wakala Commodities notwithstanding any failure by the purchaser to pay the Exercise Price on the Early Redemption Date but this shall not prejudice the Issuer’s right to receive payment of the Exercise Price which shall remain due and payable until payment is made. JANY will agree in the Sale Undertaking Deed to promptly on written demand of the Issuer pay all applicable taxes, fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with or incidental to the execution, delivery, filing, recording, registration, performance, amendment, release, discharge, enforcement or otherwise of the Sale Undertaking Deed and any sale agreement executed pursuant to the Sale Undertaking Deed. The Sale Undertaking Deed, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by English law. The Guarantee BD-#21521170-v12 73
74. Pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee , GSG as Guarantor will unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Issuer the prompt and complete payment, when and to the extent due, of all payment obligations of, JANY arising out of or under the Murabaha Agreement. The Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under the Guarantee, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Issuer, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void, except for an assignment and delegation of all of the Guarantor’s rights and obligations under the Guarantee in whatever form the Guarantor determines may be appropriate to a partnership, corporation, trust or other organisation in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise. Upon any such delegation and assumption of obligations, the Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations under the Guarantee, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation and assumption. The Guarantee will continue in full force and effect until all of JANY’s payment obligations arising out of or under the Murabaha Agreement have been satisfied in full. The Guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor. The Guarantee will be governed by New York law. The Declaration of Trust The Declaration of Trust will be entered into on or about the Closing Date between the Issuer and the Delegate. The Declaration of Trust, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the same, shall be governed by English law. The Trust Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Issuer will, inter alia: (a) hold the Trust Assets on trust absolutely for the Certificateholders pro rata according to the face amount of Certificates held by each such Certificateholder; (b) exercise on behalf of the Certificateholders all of its rights under the Transaction Documents and appoint such delegates and agents as it deems necessary in respect of the Certificates (including pursuant to the Agency Agreement); (c) issue the Certificates and do all other acts necessary to give effect to the issuance; (d) comply with and perform its obligations, or cause such obligations to be complied with and performed on its behalf, in accordance with the terms of the Certificates, the Conditions and the Transaction Documents and observe all the provisions of the Transaction Documents which are expressed to be binding on it and, in particular but without limitation, shall maintain proper books of account in respect of the Trust which it shall cause to be prepared and certified by its auditors in respect of each financial accounting period in such form as will comply with all relevant legal and accounting requirements and all requirements for the time being of any stock exchange on which the Certificates are listed and, so far as permitted by law, allow the Delegate and any person appointed by the Delegate free access to such books of account at all reasonable times during normal working hours; (e) act as trustee in respect of the Trust Assets, collect and distribute the income from the Trust Assets and perform its duties in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and the Transaction Documents; (f) subject to it being indemnified to its satisfaction, enforce the Trust Assets including, insofar as it is able, taking all reasonably necessary steps to enforce each of the Declaration of Trust, the Murabaha Agreement, the Wakala Agreement and any other relevant Transaction Document; BD-#21521170-v12 74
75. (g) take such other steps as are reasonably necessary to ensure that the Certificateholders receive the distributions to be made to them in accordance with the Conditions and the Transaction Documents; and (h) treat the Trust as a “grantor trust” for all U.S. tax purposes. The Trust Assets The Trust Assets will consist of: (a) all of the Issuer’s rights, title, interest and benefit, present and future, in and to the Deferred Payment Price; (b) the right, title, interest and benefit, present and future, of the Issuer in, to and under the Transaction Documents (excluding the covenant given to the Issuer pursuant to clause 20.1 (Limited Recourse and Non-Petition) of the Declaration of Trust); (c) all monies standing to the credit of the Transaction Account; and (d) the beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities, and all proceeds of the foregoing which are held by the Issuer upon trust absolutely for the Certificateholders pro rata according to the face amount of Certificates held by each Certificateholder in accordance with the terms of the Declaration of Trust and the Conditions. Following the occurrence of a Trust Dissolution Event, the Issuer’s sole right in respect of Wakala Commodities is to exercise its right under the Purchase Undertaking Deed to oblige JANY to acquire, or arrange for a third party purchaser to acquire, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities for a purchase price equal to the Market Value of the Wakala Commodities. Upon exercise of the Purchase Undertaking Deed, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities will, therefore, be exchanged for an unsecured debt claim against JANY. The Issuer will not at any time have any right to sell its beneficial interest in the Wakala Assets to a party other than JANY or a party procured by JANY. Certificateholders will forego any surplus funds in respect of the Wakala Portfolio which exceed the amounts payable by the Issuer under paragraphs (i) to (iv) of Condition 6.1(d) (Application of Proceeds from Trust Assets). Such amounts will be retained by JANY as an incentive fee for its performance as Wakeel under the Wakala Agreement. Powers vested in, and delegation of authority to, the Delegate In respect of the Trust created by the Declaration of Trust, the Issuer will confer certain powers and delegate certain authority to the Delegate as provided in clause 3 (Delegation of Authority to the Delegate) and clause 10 (Powers Vested in the Delegate) of the Declaration of Trust. Agency Agreement Pursuant to the Agency Agreement: (a) the Registrar has agreed to be appointed as agent of the Issuer and in such capacity has agreed, amongst other things, to complete, authenticate and deliver the Global Certificates; (b) the Principal Paying Agent has agreed to be appointed as agent of the Issuer and in such capacity has agreed, amongst other things, to process the payment of all sums due under such Global Certificates, and to make all calculations and determinations in relation to amounts due under the Global Certificates; and (c) the Transfer Agent has agreed to be appointed as agent of the Issuer and in such capacity has agreed, amongst other things, to effect requests to transfer Definitive Certificates and issue Definitive Certificates in accordance with each request. Issue of Global Certificates BD-#21521170-v12 75
76. On the Closing Date , the Registrar will: (i) authenticate the Global Certificate in accordance with the Agency Agreement; and (ii) deliver the Global Certificate to the common depositary or to such clearing system or other depositary or custodian for a clearing system or otherwise, at such time, on such date, to such person and in such place as may have been agreed between the Issuer and the Principal Paying Agent. The Principal Paying Agent is entitled to treat the registered holder of any Certificate as the absolute owner for all purposes. Changes in Agents The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Agent and/or to appoint additional or other Agents by giving, inter alia, such Agent at least 60 days’ prior written notice to that effect, provided that: (a) it will at all times maintain a Principal Paying Agent and a Registrar (which may be the same entity); (b) so long as any Certificates are admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system, there will at all times be a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent having its specified office in such place (if any) as may be required by the rules of such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system; and (c) there will at all times be a Paying Agent (which may be the Principal Paying Agent) located in an EU Member State that is not obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. Costs Undertaking Deed Pursuant to the Costs Undertaking Deed, JANY will irrevocably undertake to and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Delegate and the Agents: (a) that it will pay, as and when they fall due, all outstanding fees and Liabilities due by the Issuer to any Agent pursuant to the Agency Agreement or any other contract relating to the Certificates between the Issuer, the Delegate and such Agent; (b) that it will pay, as and when they fall due, all outstanding fees and Liabilities due by the Issuer to the Delegate pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or any other contract relating to the Certificates between the Issuer and the Delegate; (c) that it will pay all amounts due by the Issuer to each Agent with respect to certain losses incurred by such Agents on the terms and conditions set out in the Agency Agreement (in which the Issuer indemnifies each Agent against any Liability which such Agent properly incurs otherwise than by reason of its own fraud, gross negligence or wilful default, as a result or arising out of or in relation to its acting as the agent of the Issuer in relation to the Certificates and the appointment of or the exercise of the powers and duties by each Agent under the Agency Agreement); (d) that it will pay all amounts due by the Issuer to the Delegate with respect to certain losses incurred by the Delegate on the terms and conditions set out in the Declaration of Trust (in which the Issuer indemnifies the Delegate against any Liability which the Delegate incurs otherwise than by reason of its own fraud, gross negligence or wilful default, as a result or arising out of or in relation to its acting as the delegate of the Issuer in relation to the Certificates and the appointment of or the exercise of the powers and duties by the Delegate under the Declaration of Trust); (e) that it will pay, as and when they fall due, all outstanding fees and Liabilities due by the Issuer to the Corporate Services Provider pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement or any other contract relating to the Certificates between the Issuer and the Corporate Services Provider; and (f) that it will pay all outstanding taxes (including any government related costs, fees, penalties and charges in relation to such taxes) to be paid by the Issuer when they become due and payable. The Costs Undertaking Deed, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. BD-#21521170-v12 76
77. JANY Power of Attorney JANY will grant to the Issuer and the Delegate a power of attorney to permit the Issuer and /or the Delegate (and any delegate of the Issuer or the Trustee), as applicable, to take certain actions in the name of JANY to ensure the performance by JANY of its obligations under the Purchase Undertaking Deed and any Exercise Notice (delivered in accordance with the conditions of the Sale Undertaking Deed), as the case may be, following the failure of JANY to: (a) enter into a sale agreement as required under the terms of the Purchase Undertaking Deed within 7 days of the date specified in any exercise notice delivered in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Undertaking Deed; or (b) enter into a sale agreement as required under the terms of the Sale Undertaking Deed within 7 days of the date specified in any Exercise Notice delivered in accordance with the terms of the Sale Undertaking Deed. The JANY Power of Attorney, and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by English law. BD-#21521170-v12 77
78. TAXATION The following is a general description of certain Cayman Islands and European Union tax considerations relating to the Certificates . It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Certificates, whether in those countries or elsewhere. Prospective purchasers of Certificates should consult their own tax advisers as to which countries’ tax laws could be relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of Certificates and receiving payments of profit, principal and/or other amounts under the Certificates and the consequences of such actions under the tax laws of those countries. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this Prospectus and is subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date. Cayman Islands The following is a discussion of certain Cayman Islands tax consequences of an investment in the Certificates. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law. Under existing Cayman Islands laws: (a) payments of amounts in respect of any Certificates will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on such payments to any Certificateholder and gains derived from the sale of any Certificates will not be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax. The Cayman Islands currently have no income, corporation or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance or gift tax; and (b) no stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of the Certificates. Certificates issued in bearer form, or an instrument of transfer in respect of a Certificate issued in registered form, will be stampable if they are executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands. The Issuer has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has applied for and expects to receive an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, that for a period of 20 years from the date of issue no law which is thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciation shall apply to the Issuer or its operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable on or in respect of the shares, bonds, sukuk or other obligations (which would include the Certificates) of the Issuer or by way of the withholding in whole or part of any relevant payment (as defined in Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised)). An annual registration fee is payable by the Issuer to the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies which is calculated by reference to the nominal amount of its authorised capital. At current rates, this annual registration fee is approximately U.S.$730. The foregoing is based on current law and practice in the Cayman Islands and this is subject to change therein. EU Savings Directive Under the EU Savings Directive, EU member states are required to provide to the tax authorities of another EU member state details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual resident in that other EU member state or to certain limited types of entities established in that other EU member state. However, for a transitional period, Luxembourg and Austria are instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non EU countries and territories have adopted similar measures. In April 2013, the Luxembourg Government announced its intention to abolish the withholding system with effect from 1 January 2015, in favour of automatic exchange under the EU Savings Directive. Prospective holders of Certificates should note that an amended version of the Savings Directive was adopted by the European Council on 24 March 2014, which is intended to close loopholes identified in the current Savings Directive. The amendments, which must be transposed by Member States prior BD-#21521170-v12 78
79. to 1 January 2016 and which will apply from 1 January 2017 , will extend the scope of the Savings Directive to (i) payments made through certain intermediate structures (whether or not established in a Member State) for the ultimate benefit of an EU resident individual, and (ii) a wider range of income similar to interest. The Proposed Financial Transactions Tax (FTT) The European Commission has published a proposal for a Directive for a common FTT in Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia (the participating Member States). The proposed FTT has very broad scope and could, if introduced in its current form, apply to certain dealings in Certificates (including secondary market transactions) in certain circumstances. Primary market transactions referred to in Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1287/2006 are exempt. Under current proposals, the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and outside of the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in Certificates where at least one party is a financial institution and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, ‘‘established’’ in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including: (a) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State; or (b) where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State. The FTT proposal remains subject to negotiation between the participating Member States and is the subject of legal challenge. It may, therefore, be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains unclear. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate. Prospective holders of Certificates are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT. Material U.S. Tax Considerations The Issuer (on behalf of itself and the Trust), JANY and GSG will agree in a side letter to treat the Murabaha Agreement, the Wakala Agreement, and the related agreements between the Issuer, JANY and GSG for all U.S. tax purposes as creating a single loan with the Trust as lender, JANY as borrower and GSG as guarantor. The parties to the side letter will also agree to treat any payments to the Issuer (on behalf of the Trust) that are attributable to the payment of the Periodic Distribution Amounts as U.S.-source interest payments under such loan for U.S. tax purposes. The Trust will be treated as a grantor trust for U.S. tax purposes and each Certificateholder will therefore be treated for U.S. tax purposes as holding a pro rata share of the assets of the Trust (i.e. the loan from the Trust to JANY). Accordingly, each Certificateholder will be treated for U.S. tax purposes as receiving its pro rata share of the interest payments received by the Trust with respect to the loan that is held by the Trust for U.S. tax purposes, which will be equal to the Periodic Distribution Amount that will be paid in respect of the Certificates. U.S. Alien Holders The discussion below describes the tax consequences to a U.S. alien holder of owning the Certificates. A Certificateholder is a U.S. alien holder if it is the beneficial owner of the Certificates and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a non-resident alien individual; (ii) a foreign corporation; or (iii) an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from the Certificates. Under United States federal income tax law, and subject to the discussions of backup withholding and FATCA withholding below, U.S. payors generally would not be required to deduct U.S. withholding tax from payments of principal and the Periodic Distribution Amount in respect of the Certificates, provided: 1. the Certificateholder does not actually or constructively own 10 per cent. or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of GSG entitled to vote, 2. the Certificateholder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to GSG through stock ownership, and BD-#21521170-v12 79
80. 3 . the U.S. payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the Certificateholder is a U.S. person and: a. the Certificateholder has furnished to the U.S. payor a valid Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or an acceptable substitute form upon which it certifies, under penalties of perjury, that it is a non-U.S. person, b. in the case of payments made outside the United States to an offshore account (generally, an account maintained at a bank or other financial institution at any location outside the United States), the Certificateholder has furnished to the U.S. payor documentation that establishes its identity and its status as the beneficial owner of the payment for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as a non-U.S. person, c. the U.S. payor has received a withholding certificate (furnished on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or an acceptable substitute form) from a person claiming to be: i. a withholding foreign partnership (generally a foreign partnership that has entered into an agreement with the IRS to assume primary withholding responsibility with respect to distributions and guaranteed payments it makes to its partners), ii. a qualified intermediary (generally a non-U.S. financial institution or clearing organization or a non-U.S. branch or office of a U.S. financial institution or clearing organization that is a party to a withholding agreement with the IRS), or iii. a U.S. branch of a non-U.S. bank or of a non-U.S. insurance company, and the withholding foreign partnership, qualified intermediary or U.S. branch has received documentation upon which it may rely to treat the payment as made to a non-U.S. person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the beneficial owner of the payment on the Certificates in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations (or, in the case of a qualified intermediary, in accordance with its agreement with the IRS), d. the U.S. payor receives a statement from a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business, i. certifying to the U.S. payor under penalties of perjury that an IRS Form W-8BEN or W8BEN-E or an acceptable substitute form has been received from the Certificateholder by such securities clearing organisation, bank or other financial institution, or by a similar financial institution between such securities clearing organisation, bank or other financial institution and such Certificateholder, and ii. to which is attached a copy of the IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or acceptable substitute form, or e. the U.S. payor otherwise possesses documentation upon which it may rely to treat the payment as made to a non-U.S. person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the beneficial owner of the payments on the Certificates in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations. Subject to the discussions of backup withholding and FATCA withholding below, no deduction for any U.S. federal withholding tax would be made from any gain a Certificateholder realize on the sale, redemption or exchange of the Certificates. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting In general, U.S. payors are required to report payments of the Periodic Distribution Amount on the Certificates on IRS Form 1042-S. Payments of principal or the Periodic Distribution Amount to Certificateholders would not otherwise be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, provided that the certification requirements described above under “—U.S. Alien Holders” are satisfied or the particular Certificateholder otherwise establishes an exemption. In addition, payment of the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates effected at a U.S. office of a broker will not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting if (i) the payor or broker does not have actual knowledge BD-#21521170-v12 80
81. or reason to know that the Certificateholder is a U .S. person and (ii) the Certificateholder furnished to the payor or broker an appropriate IRS Form W-8, an acceptable substitute form or other documentation upon which it may rely to treat the payment as made to a non-U.S. person. In general, payment of the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates effected at a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, a sale effected at a foreign office of a broker could be subject to information reporting in the same manner as a sale within the United States (and in certain cases may be subject to backup withholding as well) if (i) the broker has certain connections to the United States, (ii) the proceeds or confirmation are sent to the United States or (iii) the sale has certain other specified connections with the United States. A Certificateholder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed its income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS FATCA Withholding FATCA could impose a withholding tax of 30 per cent. on Periodic Distributions paid to a Certificateholder or any non-U.S. person or entity that receives such income (a “non-U.S. payee”) on the Certificateholder’s behalf, unless that Certificateholder and each such non-U.S. payee in the payment chain comply with the applicable information reporting, account identification, withholding, certification and other FATCA-related requirements. This withholding tax could also apply to all payments made upon maturity, redemption, or sale of the Certificates by a non-compliant payee. In the case of a payee that is a non-U.S. financial institution (for example, a clearing system, custodian, nominee or broker), withholding generally will not be imposed if the financial institution complies with the requirements imposed by FATCA to collect and report (to the U.S. or another relevant taxing authority) substantial information regarding such institution’s U.S. account holders (which would include some account holders that are non-U.S. entities but have U.S. owners). Other payees, including individuals, may be required to provide proof of tax residence or waivers of confidentiality laws and/or, in the case of non-U.S. entities, certification or information relating to their U.S. ownership. Withholding may be imposed at any point in a chain of payments if the payee is not compliant. A chain may work as follows, for example: The payment is transferred through a paying agent to a clearing system, the clearing system makes a payment to each of the clearing system’s participants, and finally the clearing system participant makes a payment to a non-U.S. bank or broker through which a Certificateholder holds the Certificates, who credits the payment to the Certificateholder’s account. Accordingly, if a Certificateholder receives payments through a chain that includes one or more non-U.S payees, such as a non-U.S. bank or broker, the payment could be subject to withholding if, for example, the Certificateholder’s non-U.S. bank or broker through which it holds the Certificates fails to comply with the FATCA requirements and is subject to withholding. This would be the case even if the Certificateholder would not otherwise have been directly subject to withholding. A number of countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the U.S. to facilitate the type of information reporting required under FATCA. While the existence of such agreements will not eliminate the risk that Certificateholders will be subject to the withholding described above, these agreements are expected to reduce the risk of the withholding for investors in (or investors that indirectly hold Certificates through financial institutions in) those countries. The withholding tax described above applies to all Periodic Distributions on the Certificates. In addition, the withholding tax described above could apply to payments upon the maturity, redemption or sale of the Certificates on or after 1 January, 2017. No additional amounts will be paid in respect of this withholding tax, so if this withholding applies, the Certificateholder will receive less than the amount that it would have otherwise received. Depending on the Certificateholder’s circumstances, it may be entitled to a refund or credit in respect of some or all of this withholding. However, even if a Certificateholder is entitled to have any such withholding refunded, the required procedures could be cumbersome and significantly delay that Certificateholder’s receipt of any withheld amounts. Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding FATCA. Each Certificateholder should consult its bank or broker through which it would hold the Certific ates about the likelihood that payments to such bank or broker (for credit to such Certificateholder) may become subject to withholding in the payment chain. BD-#21521170-v12 81

104. ANNEX - FATWA Pronouncement given to Goldman Sachs International with regards to the issuance of a US dollar denominated Sukuk In the name of Allah , the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful All praise is due to Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds Peace and blessings be upon the Prophet of Allah, on his Family and all his companions 1 Introduction 1.1 A panel of Shari'a scholars (the Shari’a Advisory Group) have reviewed the proposed structure and principal documents of the U.S. dollar denominated sukuk by JANY Sukuk Company Limited (the Issuer) (Sukuk). 1.2 The underlying assets for the Sukuk will be an investment in a commodity portfolio owned by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary J. Aron & Company (JANY) and certain payment obligations owed to the Issuer under a murabaha contract with JANY. The Sukuk will follow a hybrid structure of 51 per cent. wakala and 49 per cent. murabaha. 2 2.1 Use of Sukuk Proceeds JANY as wakeel (the Wakeel) under a wakala arrangement will invest the proceeds of the Sukuk issuance for and on behalf of the Issuer as follows: (a) 51 per cent. in a beneficial interest in a portfolio of Shari’a compliant commodities (the Wakala Commodities) as set out in paragraphs 5.1 – 5.8 below; and (b) 49 per cent. in a murabaha contract on the basis set out in paragraphs 5.9 – 5.11 below. 2.2 The use of the proceeds of the Sukuk is limited to these Shari’a compliant investments. 2.3 Whilst JANY is not an Islamic financial institution, each of the transactions it enters into and performs as Wakeel, including the trading of the Wakala Commodities, is to be compliant with the Shari’a as audited periodically by the Shari’a Advisory Group. 2.4 The Issuer and the Wakeel’s obligations do not extend beyond the immediate transactions to which they are respectively a party. Though the Wakala Commodities must be traded by the Wakeel in a Shari’a compliant way, it is not necessary for the Issuer or Wakeel to establish or procure that JANY or any other party that they transact with is an Islamic entity which follows the principles of the Shari’a in the ordinary course of its business. 3 3.1 4 Wakala Sukuk The Sukuk is properly characterised as a wakala sukuk because: (a) the majority of the sukuk issuance proceeds will be invested in the Wakala Commodities; and (b) the Wakeel will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that at all times prior to dissolution or maturity the market value of the Wakala Commodities is at least equal to 51 per cent. of the aggregate face amount of the certificates such that the majority of the face amount of the certificates remains invested in or attributable to trade in the Wakala Commodities. Trading of Sukuk Certificates Since the Sukuk is properly characterised as a wakala sukuk, the Sukuk certificates may be traded at a price other than par value. BD-#21521170-v12 104
105. 5 Sukuk assets Wakala - Commodity Portfolio 5 .1 Under the wakala arrangements, the Wakeel will undertake to: (a) apply the wakala investment capital to acquire a beneficial interest in Wakala Commodities; and (b) generate a return by trading the Wakala Commodities in a Shari’a compliant manner in accordance with an investment plan. 5.2 The beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities will transfer to the Issuer who will hold such interest on behalf of the Sukuk certificateholders pursuant to a declaration of trust. However, JANY will at all times hold legal title to the Wakala Commodities and no transfer of legal title or security interest will be granted to the Issuer in respect of the Wakala Commodities so that, for accounting purposes, the Wakala Commodities will always remain on the balance sheet of JANY. 5.3 The market value of the Wakala Commodities will be recorded in a principal ledger. The amounts credited to the principal ledger will not be held in a segregated account of JANY. 5.4 The Wakeel will also record in a separate profit ledger profits (or losses) from the trades in respect of the Wakala Commodities (being the difference between the market value of the relevant commodity at the time of acquisition and at disposal from the wakala commodity portfolio). The amounts credited to the profit ledger will not be held in a segregated account of JANY. 5.5 JANY will undertake to the Issuer that it shall purchase, or procure a third party to purchase, the Issuer’s beneficial interest in the Wakala Commodities at the maturity of the wakala arrangements (being the early dissolution or scheduled maturity date of the Sukuk certificates). The purchase price of the Wakala Commodities to be acquired by JANY under the purchase undertaking will be market value of the Wakala Commodities at the time of sale. The purchase undertaking will be exercisable by the Issuer at maturity or upon the early dissolution of the Sukuk certificates. 5.6 The Issuer will undertake to JANY that it shall sell to JANY or a third party designated by JANY on the same basis as above except that the sale undertaking will be exercisable only on early dissolution for tax reasons. 5.7 The recourse of the Sukuk certificateholders will be limited to their interest in the purchase undertaking, which will give rise to an unsecured debt claim against JANY. 5.8 Any surplus funds in respect of the wakala portfolio which exceed the amounts payable by the Issuer under the Sukuk certificates will be forgone by the Certificateholders and paid to JANY as Wakeel as an incentive fee for its performance as Wakeel under the Wakala Agreement. Reporting 5.9 JANY will deliver a quarterly report showing: (a) commodities comprised in the Wakala Commodities; (b) the market value of the Wakala Commodities; and (c) the profit (or loss) generated by trades in respect of the Wakala Commodities (being the balance of the profit ledger). BD-#21521170-v12 105
106. Wakala - Murabaha 5 .10 The Issuer will sell Shari’a compliant commodity assets to JANY in consideration for a deferred purchase price payable by JANY to the Issuer upon the maturity or early dissolution of the Sukuk certificates. 5.11 Under the commodities murabaha arrangements any on-sale of the commodities by JANY is to be made to a party other than the original supplier of the commodities to the Issuer. 5.12 The obligation of JANY to pay the deferred purchase price under the murabaha agreement will be supported by a guarantee from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.. 6 6.1 Pronouncement The Shari’a Advisory Group, having reviewed the Sukuk as set out above and having deliberated on such matters as the Shari’a Advisory Group considered material, hereby rules that: (a) the payment of the proceeds of the Sukuk issuance to JANY under the wakala arrangement and the murabaha arrangement is in compliance with Shari'a; (b) the wakala arrangement and the murabaha arrangement are in compliance with Shari'a; (c) the Sukuk is properly characterised as a wakala sukuk under Shari'a; (d) the trading of the Sukuk certificates at price other than par is not prohibited by Shari'a; and (e) the application of the proceeds of the Sukuk issuance by the Issuer in accordance with the wakala arrangement and the ultimate receipt of the gross issuance proceeds by JANY under that arrangement are compliant with Shari’a, And Allah knows best.
