Goldman Sachs International
QATAR FINANCIAL CENTRE AUTHORITY

DECISION

WHEREAS Article 7 of the Law establishing the Qatar Financial Centre Authority ("QFCA"), Law No. 7 of 2005 ("QFC Law"), provides that limited liability companies, partnerships and other types of company or entity may be incorporated or formed in the QFC, pursuant to Regulations enacted by the Minister of Economy and Commerce ("Minister");

WHEREAS the QFC Companies Regulations (Part 6) provide for the registration by the QFC Companies Registration Office ("CRO") of branches of certain limited liability companies ("LLCs") formed outside the QFC, subject to conditions;

WHEREAS Goldman Sachs International ("GSI"), an entity organized as an unlimited liability company under UK Companies Act 1985, has filed an application to establish as a branch in the QFC and to obtain a QFCA license and QFCRA authorization to operate in or from the QFC;

WHEREAS the QFCA under Article 6(5) of the QFC Law may approve, authorize and license persons, companies and other entities to conduct business at the QFC "...(whether by establishing a branch or other business in the QFC or by incorporating or establishing a new company or entity therein)" and Article 6(14) provides that the QFCA has, among other powers, all powers specifically provided for in the QFC Law or otherwise reasonable considered by it to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to achieve, further or assist in relation to its powers set forth in Article 6;

WHEREAS the QFCA understands that GSI as a UK unlimited liability company is subject to requirements that are substantially similar to those applicable to UK LLCs and to QFC LLCs;

WHEREAS in respect of the one area of difference (i.e., the general provision that UK unlimited liability companies are exempt from filing audited annual financials) GSI and its external auditor, PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, have represented that GSI's annual financial statements are prepared and audited in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of UK Companies Act 1985; and

WHEREAS the QFCA is of the view that the absence of QFC Regulations directly applicable to unlimited liability companies should not prohibit the establishment in the QFC of a branch of GSI, an unlimited liability company.

IT IS HEREBY DECIDED:

Mr. Dhanoo referred to his paper regarding a proposal and request for a class waiver to be granted to SPCs from the requirement of registering an individual to undertake the Senior Executive Function ("SEF"), previously circulated. Mr Dhanoo stressed that the class waiver would only apply to inert and passive SPCs which were all required to have a Support Service Provider ("SSP") appointed to provide them with administration and governance services.

WHEREAS the Qatar Investment Authority ("QIA") was established to invest, manage and grow the State of Qatar's reserves in order to create long term value for the State of Qatar and future generations.

AND WHEREAS QIA, directly or indirectly, has established a number of holding companies before the commencement of the Special Company Regulations ("SCR"), established a number of holding companies since the commencement of the SCR, and may establish additional holding companies in the future, whether such companies are beneficially owned by the QIA or the QIA and another Entity (all known as "QIA Holding Companies", and for the purpose of this Waiver Notice, such expression includes any holding company established at any time or to be established by the Amiri Diwan for a purpose related to the QIA);

AND WHEREAS, all capitalised terms set out in this Waiver Notice shall (unless defined herein) have the same meaning as those terms set out in the SCR;

AND WHEREAS Article 23 of the SCR provides that a "Holding Company who is ultimately wholly owned by the Government of the State" receives the benefits set out in Article 23, and given there is uncertainty as to which entities fall into the category of "wholly owned by the Government of the State";

AND WHEREAS in accordance with Article 13(2) of the QFCA Regulations, the QFCA has consulted with the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) concerning the waiver application and the QFCRA has confirmed that it has no objection to the QFCA granting the waiver;

The QFCA:

(i) Is satisfied that the burden experienced in QIA Holding Companies being required to comply with all of the provisions of the Companies Regulations and the SCR would significantly outweigh the benefits that these regulations were intended to achieve;

(ii) Is satisfied that compelling compliance with all of the provisions of these regulations by QIA Holding Companies would not achieve or further the purpose for which these regulations were made;

(iii) Is satisfied that the granting of a waiver in respect of certain provisions of the Companies Regulations and the SCR would not result in undue risk to Persons whose interest these regulations were intended to protect; and

(iv) Considers that a waiver will promote efficiency in the QFC and to eliminate unnecessary legal requirements wherever possible.

IT IS HEREBY DECIDED THAT:

1. As far as any QIA Holding Company is concerned, the phrase "Holding Company Group" within the meaning of the SCR shall also include (i) the QIA and its subsidiaries; (ii) the State of Qatar; (iii) the Government of the State of Qatar; (iv) a company beneficially owned by, or a public corporation in, the State of Qatar; (v) any Ministry, authority, agency, institution, foundation or other Government body in the State of Qatar; and (vi) the Amiri Diwan, each being an Entity within the meaning of the SCR.

2. All QIA Holding Companies shall be subject to the SCR and accordingly, the requirements in Part 3A, Part 4, Part 6 and Part 7 of the Companies Regulations, Article 47 and 48 of the Companies Regulations and the requirements regarding the appointment of auditors, the examination of and reporting on of accounts by auditors, the laying of accounts before a meeting of members and the lodging of accounts with CRO, shall be waived.

3. The permitted activities of any QIA Holding Company shall include such permitted activities as set out in the SCR, as set out in paragraphs 12, 14 or 15 of Part 2, Schedule 3 of the QFC Law, or as permitted as an exemption under Schedule 3 of the Financial Services Regulations as stipulated in Article 20.1 (g) of the SCR, and any other activities, including a purpose, set out in the Articles of Association and/or scope of licence of the QIA Holding Company.

4. Accordingly at all times (whether before or from the date of this Waiver Notice) the terms "Holding Company" and "Holding Company Activities", so far as those terms apply to QIA Holding Companies, shall be construed and interpreted:

(i) within the meaning of the SCR but with reference to the activities which a QIA Holding Company may conduct, in accordance with this Waiver Notice; and

(ii) as such terms may be used in: (a) the certificate of incorporation and/or Articles of Association of a QIA Holding Company; and

Khawar Qureshi Residency Waiver
QATAR FINANCIAL CENTRE AUTHORITY

DECISION

WHEREAS Qatar Financial Centre Authority ("QFCA") General Rules 11.3.1(A) requires that the Senior Executive Function of a QFCA Licensed Firm domiciled in the QFC be carried out by an individual who is ordinarily resident in the State;

WHEREAS Mr. Khawar Qureshi QC, a barrister with Serle Court Chambers in England, has applied to establish QFC's first law chambers (hereinafter referred to as "Law Chambers") as a QFC Limited Liability Company with Mr. Qureshi as the Senior Executive and with two additional members, Lord Slynn of Hadley and Professor William Ballantyne, each of whom has a current or former affiliation with Serle Court Chambers;

WHEREAS Law Chambers is seeking to offer specialist services in English Commercial Law and Litigation, Public International Law and Commercial Dispute Resolution in Qatar and elsewhere in the region from the QFC;

WHEREAS the establishment of Law Chambers would, among other things, promote the objectives of the QFC Arbitration Regulations as well as facilitate the effectiveness of the QFC Regulatory Tribunal and QFC Civil and Commercial Court once they come operational;

WHEREAS Mr. Qureshi intends to remain a member of Serle Court Chambers in addition to functioning as Senior Executive of Law Chambers and has applied for a waiver of the requirement that he be "ordinarily resident" in Qatar under QFCA General Rule 11.3.1(A);

WHEREAS the primary purpose of the Senior Executive Function in the case of a legal practice is to ensure that the QFCA Licensee is properly supervised, particularly in respect of junior or less experienced lawyers; and

WHEREAS in view of the proposed distinguished membership of Law Chambers QFCA is of the opinion that the issuance of such waiver would not defeat the purpose for which QFCA Rule 11.3.1(A) was made or create undue risk to persons whose interest the Rule is intended to protect.

IT IS HEREBY DECIDED:

(1) That the requirement of QFCA General Rule 11.3.1(A) is waived in respect of Mr. Qureshi as the Senior Executive of Law Chambers subject to there being no material alteration in the membership or composition of Law Chambers as initially established and Mr. Qureshi's undertaking to spend an appropriate proportion of his time in the State having regard to the responsibilities that the Senior Executive Function entails; and

(2) That this waiver shall have no bearing on the decision by the QFC Regulatory Authority in respect of Law Chambers' obligations to comply with the requirements of the QFC Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and Rules issued thereunder.

Coutts & Company
QATAR FINANCIAL CENTRE (QFC) AUTHORITY

DECISION

WHEREAS Article 7 of the Law establishing the Qatar Financial Centre Authority ("QFCA"), Law No. 7 of 2005 ("QFC Law"), provides that limited liability companies, partnerships and other types of company or entity may be incorporated or formed in the QFC, pursuant to Regulations enacted by the Minister of Economy and Commerce ("Minister");

WHEREAS the QFC Companies Regulations (Part 6) provide for the registration by the QFC Companies Registration Office ("CRO") of branches of certain limited liability companies ("LLCs") formed outside the QFC, subject to conditions;

WHEREAS to date the QFC has yet to enact Regulations governing unlimited liability companies and such legal structures are not addressed by the QFC Companies Regulations;

WHEREAS Coutts & Company ("CC"), an entity organized as an unlimited liability company under UK Companies Act 1985, has filed an application to establish as a branch in the QFC and to obtain a QFCA license and QFCRA authorization to operate in or from the QFC;

WHEREAS the QFCA under Article 6(5) of the QFC Law may approve, authorize and license persons, companies and other entities to conduct business at the QFC "...(whether by establishing a branch or other business in the QFC or by incorporating or establishing a new company or entity therein)" and Article 6(14) provides that the QFCA has, among other powers, all powers specifically provided for in the QFC Law or otherwise reasonably considered by it to be necessary, desirable or appropriate to achieve, further or assist in relation to its powers set forth in Article 6;

WHEREAS the QFCA understands that CC as a UK unlimited liability company is subject to requirements that are substantially similar to those applicable to UK LLCs and to QFC LLCs;

WHEREAS in respect of the one area of difference (i.e., the general provision that UK unlimited liability companies are exempt from filing audited annual financials) CC has represented that its annual financial statements are prepared and audited in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, and are otherwise in accordance with the requirements of UK Companies Act 1985; and

WHEREAS the QFCA is of the view that the absence of QFC Regulations directly applicable to unlimited liability companies should not prohibit the establishment in the QFC of a branch of CC, an unlimited liability company.

IT IS HEREBY DECIDED:

(1) That CC shall be permitted to establish with QFC as a branch of an unlimited liability company and the CRO is instructed to issue the appropriate certificate of registration.

(2) That as a condition of the issuance and continued effectiveness of this Decision, CC undertakes to comply with the requirements that otherwise apply to QFC branches of LLCs domiciled outside the QFC as set forth in Part 6 of the QFC Companies Regulations and as otherwise deemed necessary by the QFC CRO and the CRO is hereby authorized to make such determinations for purposes of this Decision.

(3) That this Decision shall become effective upon the issuance to CC of: i) a license by the QFCA; and ii) authorization by the QFCRA.

Pursuant to authority delegated by QFCA Board Orders of February 25 and May 26, 2007, issued on May 29, 2008 at the Qatar Financial Centre, Doha, State of Qatar by
