7.6 Date for Prepayment

If the provisions of Clause 7.1 (Illegality) (subject to the limitations of paragraph (c) of Clause 7.1) to Clause 7.3 (Mandatory Prepayment from Insurance Proceeds) (inclusive) would require the prepayment of a Loan otherwise than on the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Facility Agent (to be received not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such prepayment

40

would be required to be made (but for this Clause 7.6)), request that the amount of such prepayment be applied by the Facility Agent in prepayment of the relevant Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to that Loan.

7.8 Prepayment Fee

(a) If the Borrower prepays for any reason (whether voluntarily or otherwise) any of the outstanding Loans prior to the scheduled date on which such principal amount falls due, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a prepayment fee determined in accordance with the following table; provided that, no such prepayment fee will be required in respect of a prepayment pursuant to Clause 7.1 (Illegality):

(d) Upon the occurrence of the events set out in this Clause 7.10, so long as:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(ii) the Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity which intends to become a Party in accordance with Clause 22 (Changes to the Lenders) that is a Qualifying Lender (an “Eligible Transferee”) to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender under the relevant Finance Documents,

the Borrower may request of the Subject Lender, and the Subject Lender shall in good faith consider such request, that it transfer all of its Loans and Commitments to such Eligible Transferee in accordance with Clause 22.5 (Procedure for Transfer); provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement:

(iii) the Borrower or the Eligible Transferee shall have paid to the Subject Lender all amounts due to it under this Agreement;

SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

8. INTEREST

8.1 Calculation of Interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a) Margin;

(b) EURIBOR or, in relation to a Loan denominated in USD, LIBOR; and

(c) Minimum Reserve Cost, if any,

provided however that for Loans the proceeds of which are disbursed into the Escrow Account, interest on that portion of the Loans the proceeds of which are held in the Escrow Account from time to time shall be determined based on one half (50%) of the Margin per annum.

8.2 Margin Ratchets

(a) Save as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Margin, in relation to a Loan, shall be the percentage rate per annum specified in the definition of “Initial Margin” in Clause 1.1 (Definitions).

(b) Save as provided in Clause 8.4 (No Margin Ratchets in Events of Default) and in accordance with Clause 8.3 (Margin Changes), if after six (6) Months from the Signing Date the Credit Rating falls within any of the ranges specified in Column A and Column B below, the Margin, in respect of all Loans, shall be determined by reference to the lowest such Credit Rating allocated by either Xxxxx’x or Standard & Poor’s as set out in the table below:

Column A Xxxxx’x Rating		Column B Standard & Poor’s Rating		Column C Margin per annum
lower than B3		lower than B-		2.50%
B3		B-		2.00%
B2		B		1.875%
B1		B+		1.75%
Ba3		BB-		1.50%
Ba2		BB		1.375%
Ba1		BB+		1.25%
Baa3 or better		BBB- or better		1.00%

45

provided that, the Initial Margin shall apply to all periods until and including the first (1^st) anniversary of the Signing Date; and further provided that, in respect of all other periods, in the event that neither Credit Rating is available for more than thirty (30) days, the Margin as calculated above will convert to two and a half (2.50) per cent. per annum (the “Safety Margin”) with retrospective effect from the date on which both Credit Ratings were no longer available.

8.3 Margin Changes

(a) Save as provided in this Clause 8.3 and Clause 8.4 (No Margin Ratchets in Events of Default), any change in the Margin provided for by Clause 8.2 (Margin Ratchets) shall take effect, in relation to all existing and future Loans during the period:

(i) from (and including) the date on which the next subsequent Interest Period commences immediately after the conclusion of the current Interest Period during which the Facility Agent has received information of the change in Credit Rating or been informed of the same by the Borrower in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 18.4 (Information: Miscellaneous),

(ii) until (but excluding) the date on which the next subsequent Interest Period commences immediately after the conclusion of the Interest Period during which the Facility Agent receives information of a further change in the Credit Rating or is informed of the same by the Borrower in accordance with paragraph (f) of Clause 18.4 (Information: Miscellaneous).

(b) If at any time:

(i) the Margin has been changed pursuant to this Clause 8.3; and

(ii) the Facility Agent thereafter discovers that the information or notification that it has received on the Credit Rating is inaccurate and that such change should not have been made,

that change shall be reversed with retrospective effect, the Margin applicable to the Facility shall be that justified by the correct Credit Rating, amounts of interest calculated by reference to the changed Margin (whether or not already paid) shall be recalculated by reference to the Margin applicable to such correct Credit Rating and the Borrower or the Lenders, as the case may be, shall be required to make a payment to the Facility Agent, in such amounts as the Facility Agent may specify, to cover any difference in amounts of interest which should have actually been received by the Lenders following any recalculation. The Facility Agent’s determination of any such difference shall, save in the case of manifest error, be conclusive and the Facility Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with reasonable details of the calculation of such difference in Margin.

46

8.4 No Margin Ratchets in Events of Default

(a) No reduction in the Margin provided for by Clause 8.2 (Margin Ratchets) shall take effect immediately from the date determined by the Facility Agent as being the date on which an Event of Default has occurred or come into existence. The Margin shall thereafter immediately convert to the Safety Margin (if it is not already) until the date specified by the Facility Agent as being the date on which it has been demonstrated to its reasonable satisfaction that such Event of Default is no longer continuing. The Margin shall thereafter be determined in accordance with Clause 8.2 (Margin Ratchets) on the basis of the Credit Rating then applicable.

(b) The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of any determination that an Event of Default has occurred or exists or, as the case may be, that it has been demonstrated to its reasonable satisfaction that such Event of Default is no longer continuing.

8.5 Payment of Interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, on the dates falling at three (3) monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

8.6 Default Interest and Penalty

(a) The Borrower shall be in payment default (Verzug) if it fails to pay any amount (other than in payment of interest and fees, other than the commitment fees under Clause 11.1 (Commitment Fee)) payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date. On the occurrence of such a payment default (Verzug), interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate one (1) per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.6 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) If the Borrower fails to pay any amounts in payment of interest or fees under a Finance Document on its due date, the Borrower shall pay liquidated damages to the Facility Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders in an amount determined by the Facility Agent as being, in respect of the period from the due date of payment until receipt by the Facility Agent of the relevant amount, the equivalent of interest at a rate determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above applied to the relevant overdue amount.

(c) In the circumstances described in paragraph (b) above, the Borrower shall be entitled to demonstrate that the damage actually suffered by the Lenders is inferior to the amounts determined in accordance therewith, and the Lenders shall be entitled to prove and claim for any higher damage.

8.7 Notification of Rates of Interest

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

47

9. INTEREST PERIODS

9.1 Selection of Interest Periods

(a) The Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or in a Selection Notice.

(b) Each Selection Notice for a Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Facility Agent by the Borrower not later than the Specified Time.

(d) Subject to this Clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of one (1), two (2), or three (3) Month(s) or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders). In addition, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of a period of less than one (1) Month, if necessary to ensure that there are sufficient Loans (with an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the relevant Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Repayment Date for the Borrower to make the Repayment Instalment due on that date.

(e) Subject to Clause 6.3 (Extension of Termination Date) and Clause 9.3 (Non-Business Days), an Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

(f) Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date relating to such Loan or (if already made) on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

9.2 Changes to Interest Periods

(a) Prior to determining the interest rate for a Loan, the Facility Agent may shorten an Interest Period for any Loan to ensure that there are sufficient Loans (with an aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to or greater than the relevant Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Repayment Date for the Borrower to make the Repayment Instalment due on that date.

(b) If the Facility Agent makes any of the changes to an Interest Period referred to in this Clause 9.2, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

9.3 Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

9.4 Consolidation and Division of Loans

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, if two or more Interest Periods end on the same date, the Loans in relation thereto will, unless they are not denominated in the same currency or the Borrower specifies to the contrary in the Selection Notice for the next Interest Period, be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan on the last day of the Interest Period.

48

(b) Subject to Clause 4.4 (Maximum Number of Loans) and Clause 5.3 (Currency and Amount), if the Borrower requests in a Selection Notice that a Loan be divided into two or more Loans, that Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided with amounts specified in that Selection Notice, being an aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to the amount of the Loan immediately before its division, having taken into account any repayment to be made on that day.

10. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

10.1 Absence of Quotations

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market Disruption), if EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable EURIBOR or LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2 Market Disruption

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the Margin;

(ii) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

(iii) the Minimum Reserve Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

(b) In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means:

(i) at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or

(ii) before close of business in Luxembourg on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed thirty-five (35) per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the European interbank market (in case of EUR) or the London interbank market (in case of any other currency) would be in excess of EURIBOR or, as the case may be, LIBOR.

10.3 Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Borrower and the Facility Agent must enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for

49

determining the rate of interest and/or funding for the affected Loan and any future Loan. The Facility Agent shall inform the Lenders within such thirty (30) day period of any proposal for an alternative basis, to the extent practicable.

(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above will be, with the prior consent of all the Lenders, binding on all the Parties. The Lenders shall use reasonable endeavours to respond to a request for consent by the Facility Agent under this Clause within three (3) Business Days of a request.

10.4 Break Costs

(a) The Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent acting on behalf of a Lender, pay to the Facility Agent on demand for the account of that Lender its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

(b) Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

11. FEES

11.1 Commitment Fee

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each Lender) a commitment fee in EUR computed at the rate of fifty (50) per cent. of the Margin on that Lender’s Available Commitment under the Facility. In determining the amount of the commitment fee, changes of the Margin pursuant to Clause 8.3 (Margin Changes) shall be taken into account from the date on which the Facility Agent has been informed by the Borrower about the relevant change in the Credit Rating pursuant to paragraph (f) of Clause 18.4 (Information: Miscellaneous).

(b) Accrued commitment fees are payable:

(i) on the last day of each calendar quarter during the Availability Period;

(ii) on the last day of the Availability Period; and

(iii) if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender’s Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective.

11.3 Security Agent Fee

The Borrower shall pay to the Security Agent (for its own account) a security agent fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

50

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

12. TAX GROSS UP AND INDEMNITIES

12.1 Definitions

(a) In this Clause 12:

“Protected Party” means a Lender that is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document.

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of, any Tax.

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document.

“Tax Payment” means an increased payment made by the Borrower to a Lender under Clause 12.2 (Tax Gross-up) or a payment under Clause 12.3 (Tax Indemnity).

(b) In this Clause 12 a reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

12.2 Tax Gross-up

(a) The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower.

(c) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower in respect of a payment to a Lender, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower to that Lender shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d) The Borrower is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of any payment which is capable of attracting a Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment relates to a Tax referred to in paragraph (b), subparagraph (i) of Clause 12.3 (Tax Indemnity);

(ii) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without the Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not

52

or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(iii) the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to that Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (g) below, including timely providing the documents allowing the Borrower to make the payment without a Tax Deduction.

(e) If the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(f) Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(g) A Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Borrower to obtain authorisation to make a payment to that Lender without a Tax Deduction, and such Lender shall provide to the applicable party or parties on a timely basis the necessary documents allowing the Borrower to make the payment without a Tax Deduction.

(h) Any difference in the amount which is owed by the Borrower under paragraph (c) above will not be covered by the Federal/State Guarantee. Any such amount which is paid by the Borrower and not recovered by it under Clause 12.4 (Tax Credit) is deemed to reduce the principal amount owed by the Borrower in relation to the Federal/State Guarantors.

12.3 Tax Indemnity

(a) The Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost that that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of withholding Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

(b) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Lender:

(A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

53

if in either case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Lender; or

(b) In addition to any other assignment or participation rights provided in this Clause 22, each Lender may assign or pledge all or any portion of its Loans and the other obligations owed to such Lender, without (unless required by applicable law) notice to or consent of the Borrower, to any federal reserve bank or central bank or multilateral bank; provided, however, that:

(i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of such assignment or pledge; and

(ii) in no event shall such federal reserve bank or central or multilateral bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

(c) An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender.

(d) A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 22.5 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

22.3 Assignment and Transfer Fee

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

97

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights, obligations and claims assigned or transferred under this Clause 22; or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

22.5 Procedure for Transfer

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions of Assignment and Transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (b) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower if requested.

(b) On the Transfer Date:

(i) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights or claims against one another which differ from the rights, obligations and claims among the Obligors and the Existing Lender only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(ii) the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and claims and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, claims and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(iii) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

22.6 Disclosure of Information

(a) Each Finance Party shall during the continuance of this Agreement keep confidential any information about or provided by or on behalf of any Obligor under the terms of this Agreement (the “Information”), and without the prior written consent of the Borrower shall not disclose the Information to any third party other than:

(i) any of its Affiliates and any of its or their respective officers, employees, agents, professional advisers or auditors;

98

(ii) any other person:

(A) to (or through) whom that Lender assigns and transfers (or may potentially assign and transfer) all or any of its rights, obligations and/or claims under this Agreement;

(B) with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor;

(A) to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation;

(B) in any proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, any Finance Documents to the extent required for the purpose of such proceedings;

(C) if required to do so by any court of competent jurisdiction;

(D) if the information is in the public domain other than where the information is in the public domain due to a breach of this Clause 22.6 by the person making the disclosure;

(iv) any other member of the Group or the FoundryCo Group; and

(v) in the case of the Reporting Agent, the Federal/State Guarantors,

provided that, in relation to paragraph (i) (other than any a person who is otherwise bound by contractual or professional confidentiality obligations) and paragraph (ii) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the Parties are parties or by which they are bound, each Party shall be permitted to disclose the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and in the other Finance Documents. This permission to disclose includes the ability of each Party to consult, without limitation of any kind, any tax advisor regarding the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and in the other Finance Documents. The Parties acknowledge that this written authorisation does not constitute a waiver by any Party of any privilege held by such Party pursuant to the attorney-client privilege or the confidentiality privilege of Section 7525 (a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or pursuant to any similar laws and regulations in any relevant other jurisdiction.

22.7 Ancillary Provisions

Each Obligor shall execute and do all such transfers, assignments, assurances, acts and things as the Facility Agent may reasonably request for perfecting and completing any assignment and transfer by a Lender; provided however, such Lender reimburses the Obligors for their respective reasonable costs and expenses and such assignment and transfer is permitted pursuant to this Clause 22.

(c) If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Facility Agent or, as the case may be, Security Agent or, as the case may be, Reporting Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within thirty (30) days after notice of resignation was given, the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, Security Agent or, as the case may be, Reporting Agent (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor agent or security agent (acting through an office in Luxembourg).

(b) If information is received by another division or department of the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, the Reporting Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, the Reporting Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

24.14 Credit Appraisal by the Lenders

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to each Agent and

107

the Mandated Lead Arrangers that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

(a) the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group or the FoundryCo Group;

(b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, Security, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;

24.15 Reference Banks

If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent shall appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.

24.16 Parallel Debt

(a) Each of the Parties hereto agree, and the Borrower acknowledges by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) (the “Acknowledgement”), that each and every obligation of the Borrower (and any of its successors pursuant to this Agreement) up to the Facility Amount under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, shall also be owing in full to the Security Agent (and each of the latter’s successors under this Agreement), and that accordingly the Security Agent will have its own independent right to demand

108

performance by the Borrower of those obligations. The Security Agent undertakes towards the Borrower that in case of any discharge of any such obligation owing to one of the Security Agent or a Finance Party, it will, to the same extent, not make a claim against the Borrower under the Acknowledgement at any time, provided that any such claims can be made against the Borrower if such discharge is made by virtue of any set off, counterclaim or similar defence invoked by the Borrower vis-à-vis the Security Agent other than as permitted pursuant to Clause 27.6 (No Set-off by the Borrower).

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against the Borrower (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Finance Documents), the Security Agent agrees with each other Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights under the Acknowledgement with a Finance Party except with the consent of the relevant Finance Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document as contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Security Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing).

25. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

No provision of this Agreement will:

(a) interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

(b) oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

(c) oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

26. SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

26.1 Payments to Finance Parties

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”)

109

26.4 Reversal of Redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

(a) each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Redistribution of Payments) shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and

(b) that Recovering Finance Party’s rights to take the benefit of an assignment in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

26.5 Exceptions

(a) This Clause 26 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(b) A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings if:

(b) Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to EUR or USD, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank as the Facility Agent specifies.

27.2 Distributions by the Facility Agent

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 27.3 (Distributions to an Obligor), Clause 27.4 (Clawback) and Clause 27.9 (Payments to the Security Agent), be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to EUR, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London).

27.3 Distributions to an Obligor

The Facility Agent and the Security Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 28 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent or the Security Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

(b) If the Facility Agent or the Security Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that it had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent, together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent, calculated by it to reflect its cost of funds.
