4.2 For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Commitment Documents, we hereby acknowledge and agree that, upon signing the Interim Facilities Agreement, our obligation to provide the Interim Facilities is subject only to the terms and conditions set out in the Interim Facilities Agreement and nothing in the Commitment Documents (including, without limitation, any breach or termination of this letter or any failure to agree any documents pursuant to paragraph 2 (Financing and Commitment)) above shall prevent us from funding, participating or making available the Interim Facilities in accordance with the provisions of the Interim Facilities Agreement.

4.3 Each Commitment Party confirms that:

(a) it has completed and is satisfied with the results of:

(i) all client identification procedures in respect of the Topco (as defined in the Agreed Form Interim Facilities Agreement) and the Company (as defined in the Agreed Form Interim Facilities Agreement) that it is required to carry out in connection with making the Interim Facilities available in connection with the Transaction and assuming its other liabilities and assuming and performing its obligations under the Commitment Documents and otherwise in respect of the Transaction, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and internal requirements (including all applicable anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and other "know your customer" laws, regulations, rules and/or requirements); and

(ii) all due diligence which has been carried out by it, or on its behalf, in connection with the Transaction (and assuming its liabilities and assuming and performing its obligations under the Commitment Documents), the Group and the Target Group and other agreed purposes and that it has no further due diligence requirements;

(b) it has obtained all necessary approvals (including credit committee approvals and all other relevant internal approvals) to allow it, and it is not illegal in any applicable jurisdiction for it, to (and there are no further internal impediments to) arrange, manage, underwrite and/or make available the Interim Facilities in the amounts specified in this letter and does not require any further internal credit sanctions or other approvals in order to do so; and

(c) it has received, reviewed and is satisfied with the form of:

(i) each of the legal opinions set out in paragraph 3 of Part I (Conditions Precedent to Signing) of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent) to the Agreed Form Interim Facilities Agreement;

(ii) the Offer Announcement; and

(iii) the Tax Structure Memorandum;

in each case, in such form provided to the Commitment Parties on or prior to the date of this letter; and

(d) it will accept in satisfaction of any condition precedent to the availability of the Interim Facilities requiring delivery of any document described in paragraph (c) above, a final version of that document which is not different in respects which are materially adverse to interests of the Underwriter in its capacity as original lender of the Interim Facilities compared to the version of that document accepted pursuant paragraph (c) above.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, no reliance will be given on the Tax Structure Memorandum as a condition to utilisation of any Interim Facility.

5. Fees, Costs and Expenses

5.1 All fees, costs and expenses of the Commitment Parties shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Fee Letter.

5.2 Subject to paragraph 5.3 below, no fees or other closing payments (including arrangement, underwriting, market participation, ticking and commitment fees), costs or expenses will be payable unless the Settlement Date has occurred.

5.3 Reasonable, properly incurred and pre-agreed legal costs, expenses and disbursements in connection with the drafting and the negotiating of the Commitment Documents and any other pre-agreed costs or expenses, in each case, up to an amount agreed between the Commitment Parties and the Company (or on its behalf) and subject to a broken deal discount will be payable by the Company (or on its behalf) even if the Interim Closing Date or the Settlement Date do not occur.

6. Payments

6.1 All payments to be made under the Commitment Documents:

(a) shall be paid in the currency of invoice and in immediately available, freely transferable cleared funds to such account with such bank as the relevant Commitment Party shall notify to the Company with at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice;

(b) shall be paid without set off or counterclaim and free and clear from any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax (a "Tax Deduction") unless a Tax Deduction is required by law; and

(c) are exclusive of any value added tax or similar charge ("VAT"), except where a Commitment Party (or any of its Affiliates) has exercised an option to treat any of the supplies as subject to VAT, in which case all amounts payable hereunder shall be inclusive of VAT to the extent such VAT arises from the exercising of such option.

6.2 Subject to paragraph 6.3 below:

(a) if a Tax Deduction is required to be made by law on a payment under any Commitment Document, the amount of the payment due 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, except to the extent that:

(i) (in the case of a Tax Deduction imposed by a jurisdiction other than France) such Tax Deduction would not have arisen but for: (i) the beneficiary of such payment (or any of its Affiliates) being resident in or having any present or former connection with the jurisdiction imposing the relevant tax, other than any connection arising solely as a result of receiving payments hereunder; or (ii) the failure of the beneficiary of such payment (or any of its Affiliates) to provide any form, certificate, document or other information that would have reduced or eliminated such Tax Deduction where such form, certificate, document or other information was reasonably requested in writing by the Company except where the beneficiary of such payment (or any of its Affiliates) is not legally permitted to provide the requested form, certificate, document or other information; or

(ii) (in the case of a Tax Deduction imposed by France) such Tax Deduction is imposed because: (1) the recipient: (x) is not a resident of a jurisdiction that has entered into a tax treaty with France containing a "Business Profits" clause similar to the "Business Profits" clause contained in the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and/or is not fully entitled to the benefits of such tax treaty in respect of such payment; or (y) is either domiciled or established in a non-cooperative state or territory as set out in the list referred to in Article 238-0 A of the French Code général des impôts, as such list may be amended from time to time (a "Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction"); or (2) such payment is made to an account held by the recipient with a financial institution established in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction; or such Tax Deduction would not have arisen but for the failure of the recipient of such payment to comply with the immediate following sentence. Upon reasonable request from the Company, (A) each recipient not acting from France shall, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which a relevant payment is due to be made: (x) provide the Company with a valid and current tax residency certificate from such recipient's jurisdiction of residence confirming that it is resident of that jurisdiction within the meaning of the relevant tax treaty entered into between that jurisdiction and France; and (y) confirm that it is fully entitled to the benefits of such tax treaty; and (B) each recipient shall confirm that it is not incorporated, organised or acting from a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction;

(b) subject to sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph 6.1 above, if VAT is or becomes chargeable in respect of an amount payable by the Company to a Commitment Party under the Commitment Documents which constitutes consideration for any supply for VAT purposes and such Commitment Party (or a member of a group which it is part of for VAT purposes) is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Company shall pay (or procure the payment of) (in addition to any other consideration for the relevant supply) an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply to the relevant Commitment Party (subject to such Commitment Party promptly providing an appropriate VAT invoice to the recipient of the supply to which such VAT relates) in accordance with applicable laws; and

(c) for the avoidance of doubt, where a Commitment Document requires that a Commitment Party or Indemnified Person is to be reimbursed or indemnified for any cost or expenses, such reimbursement or indemnification (as the case may be) shall include any VAT incurred on such cost or expense, save to the extent that the relevant Commitment Party or Indemnified Person reasonably determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it (or a member of a group for VAT purposes of which it is part) is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from a tax authority.

6.3 Paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 above shall not apply in respect of any amounts paid or payable under the Interim Facilities Agreement, which shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Interim Facilities Agreement.

7. Information

7.1 At the times set out in paragraph 7.2 below, the Company represents and warrants to the Commitment Parties that, to its knowledge:

(a) the material written factual information (taken as a whole) provided to the Commitment Parties by, or on behalf of, any other member of the Group (excluding the Target Group) in connection with the Transaction (the "Information") is true and accurate in all material respects on:

(iv) in relation to an Interim Utilisation under Interim Facility B2 only, the Borrower has confirmed in the Drawdown Request for such Interim Utilisation that pro forma for such Interim Utilisation and completion of all Acquisitions in connection with which the LTV Ratio is calculated, the LTV Ratio is not greater than 45%; and

(v) in relation to an Interim Utilisation under Interim Facility B3 or Interim Revolving Facility 2 only, the Settlement Date has occurred.

(c) The Interim Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors' Agent and the Interim Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that the conditions described in paragraph (b)(i) above have been received by it or waived.

The rate of interest on each Interim Loan for its Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of:

(a) the Margin; and

(b) the Funding Cost for that Interest Period.

8.2 Payment of interest

(a) The period for which each Interim Loan is outstanding shall be divided into successive interest periods (each, an Interest Period) (save that for each Interim Revolving Facility Loan there shall only be one Interest Period), each of which will start on the expiry of the previous Interest Period or, in the case of the first Interest Period for an Interim Facility B Loan (or the Interest Period for each Interim Revolving Facility Loan), on the relevant Drawdown Date.

(b) The Borrower shall select an Interest Period of (x) one (1) week in respect of an Interim Pre-Funding Loan and (y) one (1) or three (3) months in respect of an Interim Loan in each Drawdown Request and (in relation to subsequent Interest Periods for the Interim Facility B Loans) thereafter no later than 11.00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to applicable Rate Fixing Day.

(c) If the Borrower does not select an Interest Period for an Interim Loan, the default Interest Period shall (subject to paragraph (e) below) be four (4) weeks (or, if earlier, a period ending on the Final Repayment Date).

(d) The Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Interim Loan made to it on the last day of each Interest Period in respect of that Interim Loan and on any date on which that Interim Loan is repaid or prepaid.

(e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, no Interest Period will extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.

(f) 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), provided that no Interest Period will extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.

8.3 Interest on overdue amounts

(a) If the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under the Interim Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Interim Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

(b) Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Interim Facility Agent to be one (1) per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted part of that Interim Loan.

12

(c) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount on the last day of each Interest Period (or such duration as selected by the Interim Facility Agent acting reasonably) to the extent permitted under any applicable law and regulation.

8.4 Interest calculation

(a) Interest shall be paid in the currency of the relevant Interim Loan and shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year (or, where practice in the relevant interbank market differs, in accordance with that market practice).

(b) The Interim Facility Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

8.5 Replacement of Screen Rate

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, any amendment, replacement or waiver proposed by the Company and delivered in writing to the Interim Facility Agent which relates to a change to (i) the benchmark rate, base rate or reference rate (the "Benchmark Rate") to apply in relation to a currency in place of the existing Benchmark Rate for such currency under an applicable Interim Facility, or (ii) the method of calculation of any Benchmark Rate, (in each case including any amendment, replacement or waiver to the definition of "Term SOFR" including an alternative or additional page, service or method for the determination thereof, or which relates to aligning any provision of an Interim Finance Document to the use of that Benchmark Rate, including making appropriate adjustments to this Agreement for basis, duration, time and periodicity for determination of that Benchmark Rate for any Interest Period and making other consequential and/or incidental changes) (a Benchmark Rate Change), as agreed by the Company and the Interim Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Interim Lenders), may and shall be made provided.

(b) If no Benchmark Rate Change for such currency has been made or implemented pursuant to paragraph (a) above and the Company or the Interim Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Interim Lenders) requests the making of a Benchmark Rate Change and notifies the Interim Facility Agent or the Company (as applicable) thereof, then the Company and the Interim Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Interim Lenders) shall enter into consultations in respect of a Benchmark Rate Change; provided that if such Benchmark Rate Change cannot be agreed upon by the earlier of (x) the end of a consecutive period of thirty (30) days and (y) the date which is five (5) Business Days before the end of the current Interest Period, (or in the case of a new Interim Utilisation, the date which is five (5) Business Days before the date upon which the Drawdown Request will be served, as notified by the Company to the Interim Facility Agent), the Benchmark Rate applicable to any Interim Lender's share of an Interim Loan for each Interest Period which commences after the Trigger Date (as defined below) for the currency of such Interim Loan and prior to (or during) the date on which a Benchmark Rate Change for that currency has been agreed shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Interim Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Interim Lenders participating in the applicable Interim Facility)) be replaced by the rate certified to the Interim Facility Agent by that Interim Lender as soon as practicable (and in any event by the date falling two (2) Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of the relevant Interest Period) to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Interim Lender of funding its participation in that Interim Loan in the Relevant Market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Interim Facility Agent shall consult with any affected Interim Lenders with any Benchmark Rate Change.

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Clause 8.5, no Benchmark Rate Change or other amendments or waivers in connection therewith shall be made without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed given) which:

(i) would result in an increase in the weighted average cost of the applicable Interim Facility (whether by an increase in the Margin, fees or otherwise but taking into account, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one Party to another as a result of the application of any Benchmark Rate Change to such applicable Interim Facility (including any spread adjustment to reflect the differential between the weighted average Benchmark Rate before and after such Benchmark Rate Change)) to the Obligors;

13

(ii) are a change to the date of an interest payment date;

(iii) would result in any Obligor being subject to more onerous obligations under the Interim Finance Documents;

(iv) would result in any rights or benefits of any Obligor under the Interim Finance Documents being lost or reduced; or

(v) would include a credit spread adjustment (or similar) or a fallback cost of funds for market disruption.

(d) For the purposes of this Clause 8.5:

"Trigger Date" in respect of Term SOFR or other rate used to calculate any Benchmark Rate means the earliest of:

(i) the date upon which the administrator of Term SOFR or other rate publicly announces that it has ceased to provide Term SOFR or other rate permanently or indefinitely and, at that time, there is no successor administrator to continue to provide that Term SOFR or other rate; or

(ii) the date upon which the supervisor of the administrator of that Term SOFR or other rate publicly announces that Term SOFR or other rate has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued.

9. Market Disruption

9.1 Absence of quotations

If the Funding Cost (other than in respect of a USD Term Rate Loan) is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 12.00 noon on the Rate Fixing Day the applicable Funding Cost shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks, subject to Clause 9.2 (Market Disruption Notice). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 9.1 shall not apply to USD Term Rate Loans.

9.2 Market Disruption Notice

If, in relation to any actual or proposed Interim Loan (a Disrupted Loan):

(a) the Funding Cost is to be determined by reference to rates supplied by Reference Xxxxx and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate by 12.00 noon on the Rate Fixing Day; or

(b) before close of business in London on the Rate Fixing Day for the relevant Interest Period, one or more Interim Lenders whose participations in that Disrupted Loan equal or exceed in aggregate fifty (50) per cent. of the amount of that Disrupted Loan notify the Interim Facility Agent that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market generally the cost to those Interim Lenders of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market would be in excess of the Funding Cost,

the Interim Facility Agent will promptly give notice of that event to the Obligors' Agent and the Interim Lenders (a Market Disruption Notice).

14

9.3 Proposed Disrupted Loans

If a Market Disruption Notice is given in respect of a proposed Disrupted Loan, the interest rate applicable on each Interim Lender's participation in that Disrupted Loan will be the rate certified by that Interim Lender to the Interim Facility Agent no later than five (5) Business Days after the Rate Fixing Day to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) plus the Margin.

10. Taxes

10.1 Gross-up

(a) Each Obligor must make all payments under the Interim Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b) If the Obligors' Agent or an Interim Lender becomes aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it shall promptly notify the Interim Facility Agent. If the Interim Facility Agent receives such notification from an Interim Lender it shall promptly notify the Obligors' Agent and (if different) the relevant Obligor. If the Interim Facility Agent receives such notification from the Obligors' Agent it shall promptly notify the relevant Interim Lender.

(c) Each Interim Lender shall promptly provide to the Interim Facility Agent (if requested by the Interim Facility Agent):

(i) a written confirmation that it is or, as the case may be, is not, a Qualifying Interim Lender; and

(ii) such documents and other evidence as the Interim Facility Agent may reasonably require to support any confirmation given pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above,

and until such time as an Interim Lender has complied with any request pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Interim Facility Agent and each Obligor shall be entitled to treat such Interim Lender as not being a Qualifying Interim Lender for all purposes under the Interim Finance Documents.

(d) If any Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor from any payment under an Interim Finance Document:

(i) except as provided in Clause 10.2 (Exceptions from gross-up), the amount of the payment due from that Obligor under an Interim Finance Document will be increased to an amount which (after taking into account any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the amount which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required; and

(ii) the relevant Obligor will:

(A) ensure that the Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with it does not exceed the minimum amount required by law;

15

(B) make the Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with such tax deduction within the time allowed by law; and

(C) within thirty (30) days of making any Tax Deduction or any payment to the relevant Tax authorities required in connection with it, deliver to the Interim Facility Agent (for the Interim Finance Party entitled to the payment) evidence satisfactory to that Interim Finance Party (acting reasonably and in good faith) that such Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) such payment paid to the appropriate authority, provided that the relevant Obligor will not be in breach of this sub-paragraph (C) if it delivers such evidence as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiry of such period.

(e) Each Interim Lender shall co-operate with each Obligor that makes a payment to that Interim Lender in completing, or assisting with the completion of, all procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make a payment either without a Tax Deduction or, where a payment cannot be made without a Tax Deduction, with a reduced Tax Deduction, and maintain or re-obtain that authorisation where an authorisation expires or otherwise ceases to have effect.

(f) If:

(i) a Tax Deduction should have been made in respect of a payment made by or on account of an Obligor to an Interim Lender under an Interim Finance Document;

(ii) either:

(A) the relevant Obligor (or the Interim Facility Agent, if it is the applicable withholding agent) was unaware that the Tax Deduction was required and as a result does not make the Tax Deduction or made a Tax Deduction at a reduced rate;

(B) in reliance on the notifications and confirmation provided by the relevant Finance Party pursuant to Clause 10.5 (Interim Lender Status Confirmation), the relevant Obligor did not make such Tax Deduction or made a Tax Deduction at a reduced rate; or

(C) the relevant Finance Party has not complied with its obligation under paragraphs (b) or (c) above and as a result the relevant Obligor did not make the Tax Deduction or made a Tax Deduction at a reduced rate; and

(iii) the relevant Obligor would not have been required to make an increased payment under paragraph (d) above in respect of that Tax Deduction,

then the Interim Lender that received the payment in respect of which the Tax Deduction should have been made or made at a higher rate undertakes to promptly reimburse the Obligor for the amount of the Tax Deduction that should have been made (including any penalty, interest or expenses payable in connection with any failure to pay or any delay in paying any of the same).

10.2 Exceptions from gross-up

No Obligor is required to make any increased payment to an Interim Lender under Clause 10.1 (Gross-up) in respect of a Tax Deduction imposed by Luxembourg if, on the date the payment falls due:

(a) that Interim Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Interim Lender (unless that Interim Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Interim Lender as a result of a Change of Law);

16

(b) such Tax Deduction is the result of, or has been increased by, that Interim Lender's failure to comply with its obligations under paragraph (e) of Clause 10.1 (Gross-up); or

(c) such Tax Deduction is required by virtue of the Luxembourg law dated 23 December 2005 as amended from time to time.

10.3 Tax indemnity

(a) The Obligors' Agent shall pay (or procure payment) (within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Interim Facility Agent) to an Interim Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Interim Finance Party determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) will be or has been suffered for or on account of Tax by that Interim Finance Party in relation to a payment received or receivable (or deemed for Tax purposes to be received or receivable) from an Obligor under an Interim Finance Document.

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

(i) to any Tax assessed on an Interim Finance Party under the law of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) in which:

(A) that Interim Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, in which that Interim Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B) that Interim Finance Party's Facility Office or other permanent establishment is located in respect of amounts received or receivable under the Interim Finance Documents in that jurisdiction (or in respect of amounts attributable or allocable to the permanent establishment),

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the income, profits or gains or interest margin received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Interim Finance Party or if that Tax is considered a franchise Tax (imposed in lieu of net income Tax) or a branch profits or similar Tax;

(ii) to the extent a loss or liability:

(A) is compensated for by payment of an amount under Clause 10.1 (Gross-up);

(B) would have been compensated for by payment of an increased amount under Clause 10.1 (Gross-up) but was not so compensated because any of the exclusions in Clause 10.2 (Exceptions from gross-up) applied;

(C) is compensated for by payment of an amount under Clause 10.6 (Stamp Taxes) or Clause 10.7 (Value added taxes) or would have been compensated for by payment of an increased amount under such Clauses but was not so compensated because any of the exclusions in such Clauses applied;

(D) is suffered or incurred by an Interim Lender as a result of such Interim Lender's failure to comply with its obligations under Clause 10.5 (Interim Lender Status Confirmation);

17

(E) is increased as a result of the Interim Finance Party not complying with paragraph (c) below;

(F) (for the avoidance of doubt) is suffered or incurred in respect of any Bank Levy (or any payment attributable to, or liability arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy); or

(G) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party.

(c) An Interim Finance Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Obligors' Agent and the Interim Facility Agent on becoming aware of the event which has given, or will give, rise to the claim.

10.4 Tax Credit

If an Obligor pays an additional amount under Clause 10.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity) and an Interim Finance Party determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it (or one of its Affiliates) has, either on a standalone or an affiliated basis, received and utilised a Tax Credit of similar Tax benefit attributable to that payment or the Tax giving rise to that payment, that Interim Finance Party and/or the applicable Affiliate shall pay to that Obligor within five (5) Business Days upon the utilisation of any Tax Credit or similar Tax benefit an amount which that Interim Finance Party determines (acting reasonably and in good faith), providing such evidence to the Obligor in respect of such amounts as the Obligor may reasonably request in writing, will leave such Interim Finance Party or the applicable Affiliate (after that payment by it) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in if the payment of that additional amount by that Xxxxxxx had not been required to be made.

10.5 Interim Lender Status Confirmation

(a) Each Original Interim Lender shall confirm in Schedule 11 (The Original Interim Lenders) which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) not a Qualifying Interim Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Interim Lender (other than by virtue of being a Treaty Interim Lender); or

(iii) a Qualifying Interim Lender by virtue of being a Treaty Interim Lender (on the assumption that all procedural formalities have been completed).

(b) Each Interim Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation which it executes on becoming a Party, which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) not a Qualifying Interim Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Interim Lender (other than by virtue of being a Treaty Interim Lender); or

(iii) a Qualifying Interim Lender by virtue of being a Treaty Interim Lender (on the assumption that all procedural formalities have been completed).

(c) If a New Interim Lender or Increase Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 10.5 then such New Interim Lender or Increase Lender (as applicable) shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Interim Lender until such time as it notifies the Interim Facility Agent which category applies (and the Interim Facility Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall promptly inform the Obligors' Agent).

18

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation shall not be invalidated by any failure of an Interim Lender to comply with this Clause 10.5.

(e) Each Interim Lender which must complete procedural formalities in order to receive payments under this Agreement without a Tax Deduction being imposed or with a minimum Tax Deduction under applicable law, shall notify the Interim Facility Agent and the Obligor promptly on completion of all such formalities.

10.6 Stamp Taxes

The Obligors' Agent shall pay (or shall procure payment) (within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Interim Facility Agent) and indemnify each Interim Finance Party against all losses, costs and liabilities which that Interim Finance Party (directly or indirectly) suffers or incurs in relation to any stamp duty, registration, documentary or other similar transfer Tax payable in respect of any Interim Finance Document except for:

(a) (for the avoidance of doubt) any such Tax payable in respect of any transfer, assignment, novation, sub-participation, sub-contract or other disposal of an Interim Finance Party's rights or obligations (or part thereof) under an Interim Finance Document; or

(b) any such Tax to the extent it becomes payable upon a voluntary registration made by any Interim Finance Party if such registration is not necessary to evidence, prove, maintain, enforce, compel or otherwise assert the rights of such Interim Finance Party under an Interim Finance Document.

10.7 Value added taxes

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under an Interim Finance Document by any party to an Interim Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply or supplies made by any Interim Finance Party to any party in connection with an Interim Finance Document: (i) if such Interim Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Interim Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration for that supply or supplies) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (upon such Interim Finance Party providing an appropriate VAT invoice to such party); or (ii) if such Party is required to directly account for such VAT under the reverse charge procedure provided for by any relevant VAT provisions of the jurisdiction in which such party receives such supply, then such Party shall account for the VAT at the appropriate rate (and the relevant Interim Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party stating that the amount is charged in respect of a supply that is subject to VAT but that the reverse charge procedure applies).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Interim Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Interim Finance Party (the Recipient) under an Interim Finance Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Interim Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

19

(ii) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where an Interim Finance Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify an Interim Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Interim Finance Party against any VAT incurred by the Interim Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses, to the extent that the Interim Finance Party determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that neither it nor any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or receive repayment in respect of the VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in Clause 10.7 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or fiscal unity for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) In relation to any supply made by an Interim Finance Party to any party under an Interim Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Interim Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Interim Finance Party with details of that party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Interim Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

10.8 FATCA information

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(i) confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA; and

(iii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation or exchange of information regime.

20

(b) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c) Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i) any law or regulation;

(ii) any fiduciary duty; or

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Interim Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

10.9 FATCA Deduction

(a) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Obligors' Agent and the Interim Facility Agent, and the Interim Facility Agent shall notify the other Interim Finance Parties.

11. Increased Costs

11.1 Increased Costs

(a) If the introduction of, or a change in, or a change in the interpretation, administration or application of, any law, regulation or treaty occurring after the date on which it becomes Party, or compliance with any law, regulation or treaty made after the date on which it becomes Party, results in any Interim Finance Party (a Claiming Party) or any Affiliate of it incurring any Increased Cost (as defined in paragraph (c) below):

(i) the Claiming Party will notify the Obligors' Agent and the Interim Facility Agent of the circumstances giving rise to that Increased Cost as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of it and will as soon as reasonably practicable provide a certificate confirming the amount of that Increased Cost with (to the extent available) appropriate supporting evidence; and

(ii) within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Claiming Party, the Obligors' Agent will (or shall procure that another Group Company will) pay to the Claiming Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by it (or any Affiliate of it).

(b) No Group Company will be obliged to compensate any Claiming Party under paragraph (a) above in relation to any Increased Cost:

(i) to the extent already compensated for by a payment under Clause 10 (Taxes) (or would have been so compensated but for an exclusion in Clauses 10.2 (Exceptions from gross-up), 10.3 (Tax indemnity), 10.6 (Stamp Taxes) or 10.7 (Value added taxes));

21

(ii) attributable to the breach by the Claiming Party of any law, regulation or treaty or any Interim Finance Document;

(iii) attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(iv) attributable to any penalty having been imposed by the relevant central bank or monetary or fiscal authority upon the Claiming Party (or any Affiliate of it) by virtue of its having exceeded any country or sector borrowing limits or breached any directives imposed upon it;

(v) attributable to the implementation or application of or compliance with the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (but excluding any amendment to Basel II arising out of Basel III (as defined in paragraph (c)(ii) below)) (Basel II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Interim Finance Party or any of its Affiliates) but excluding any Increased Cost attributable to Basel III or any other law or regulation which implements Basel III (in each case, unless an Interim Finance Party was or reasonably should have been aware of that Increased Cost on the date on which it became an Interim Finance Party under this Agreement);

(vi) attributable to a change (whether of basis, timing or otherwise) in the Tax on the overall net income of the Interim Finance Party (or any Affiliate of it) or of the branch or office through which it participates in any Interim Loan;

(vii) attributable to any Bank Levy (or any payment attributable to, or liability arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy);

(viii) attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(ix) not notified to the Obligors' Agent in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) above.

(c) In this Agreement:

(i) Increased Cost means:

(A) an additional or increased cost;

(B) a reduction in any amount due, paid or payable to the Claiming Party under any Interim Finance Document; or

(C) a reduction in the rate of return from an Interim Facility or on the Claiming Party's (or its Affiliates') overall capital,

suffered or incurred by a Claiming Party (or any Affiliate of it) as a result of it having entered into or performing its obligations under any Interim Finance Document or making or maintaining its participation in any Interim Loan; and

(ii) Basel III means:

(A) the agreements on capital requirements, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards contained in "Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems", "Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring" and "Guidance for national authorities operating the countercyclical capital buffer" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010, each as amended, supplemented or restated;

22

(B) the rules for global systemically important banks contained in "Global systemically important banks: assessment methodology and the additional loss absorbency requirement Rules text" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in November 2011, as amended, supplemented or restated; and

(C) any further guidance or standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision relating to Basel III.

11.2 Mitigation

(a) If circumstances arise which entitle an Interim Finance Party:

(i) to receive payment of an additional amount under Clause 10 (Taxes);

(ii) to demand payment of any amount under Clause 11.1 (Increased Costs); or

(iii) to require cancellation or prepayment to it of any amount under Clause 11.3 (Illegality) (including for the avoidance of doubt if an Interim Finance Party is not obliged to fund in circumstances where paragraph (b)(iii) of Clause 3.1 (Conditions Precedent) applies),

then that Interim Finance Party will, in consultation with the Obligors' Agent, take all reasonable steps to mitigate the effect of those circumstances (including by transferring its rights and obligations under the Interim Finance Documents to an Affiliate or changing its Facility Office or transferring its Interim Commitments and participation (if any) in each Interim Utilisation for cash at par plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon to another bank, financial institution or other person nominated for such purpose by the Obligors' Agent).

(b) No Interim Finance Party will be obliged to take any such steps or action if to do so is likely in its opinion (acting in good faith) to be unlawful or to have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition or breach its banking policies or require it to disclose any confidential information.

(c) The Obligors' Agent shall (or shall procure that another Group Company will), within five (5) Business Days of demand by the relevant Interim Finance Party, indemnify such Interim Finance Party for any costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it as a result of taking any steps or action under this Clause 11.2.

(d) This Clause 11.2 does not in any way limit, reduce or qualify the obligations of the Obligors' Agent under the Interim Finance Documents.

11.3 Illegality

If it is or will become unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for an Interim Finance Party to participate in an Interim Facility, maintain its Interim Commitment or participation in any Interim Utilisation or perform any of its obligations under any Interim Finance Documents, then:

(a) that Interim Finance Party shall promptly so notify the Interim Facility Agent and the Obligors' Agent upon becoming aware of that event; and

23

(b) following such notification, the Obligors' Agent shall (or shall procure that a Group Company will) prepay that Interim Finance Party's participation in all outstandings under the relevant Interim Facility (together with any related accrued interest) and pay (or procure payment of) all other amounts due to that Interim Finance Party under the Interim Finance Documents and that Interim Finance Party's Interim Commitment will be cancelled, in each case, to the extent necessary to cure the relevant illegality and, on the date specified by that Interim Finance Party in such notice (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the illegality taking effect or the latest date otherwise allowed by the relevant law (taking into account any applicable grace period)) unless otherwise agreed or required by the Obligors' Agent, provided that on or prior to such date the Obligors' Agent shall have the right to require that Interim Lender to transfer its Interim Commitments and participation in each Interim Utilisation to another bank, financial institution or other person nominated for such purpose by the Obligors' Agent which has agreed to purchase such rights and obligations at par plus accrued interest.

12. Payments

12.1 Place

(a) Unless otherwise specified in an Interim Finance Document, on each date on which payment is to be made by any Party (other than the Interim Facility Agent) under an Interim Finance Document, such Party shall pay, in the required currency, the amount required to the Interim Facility Agent, for value on the due date at such time and in such funds as the Interim Facility Agent may specify to the Party concerned as being customary at that time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. All such payments shall be made to the account specified by the Interim Facility Agent for that purpose in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency (or in relation to US Dollars, London).

(b) Each payment received by the Interim Facility Agent under the Interim Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below and to Clause 12.3 (Assumed receipt), be made available by the Interim Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of an Interim Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Interim 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 US Dollars, London).

(c) The Interim Facility Agent may with the consent of the Obligors' Agent (or in accordance with Clause 19 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for the Borrower in or towards payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) of any amount then due and payable by the Borrower under the Interim Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

(d) Each Agent may deduct from any amount received by it for another Party any amount due to such Agent from that other Party but unpaid and apply the amount deducted in payment of the unpaid debt owed to it.

12.2 Currency of payment

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) to (e) (inclusive) below, US Dollars is the currency of account and payment of any sum due from an Obligor under any Interim Finance Documents shall be made in US Dollars.

24

(b) Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes were incurred.

(c) Each repayment of an Interim Utilisation or overdue amount or payment of interest thereon shall be made in the currency of the Interim Utilisation or overdue amount.

(d) Each payment under Clauses 10.1 (Gross-up), 10.3 (Tax indemnity) or 11.1 (Increased Costs) shall be made in the currency specified by the Interim Finance Party making the claim (being the currency in which the Tax or losses were incurred).

(e) Any amount expressed in the Interim Finance Documents to be payable in a particular currency shall be paid in that currency.

12.3 Assumed receipt

(a) Where an amount is or is required to be paid to the Interim Facility Agent under any Interim Finance Document for the account of another person (the Payee), the Interim Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that amount to the Payee until the Interim Facility Agent is satisfied that it has actually received that amount.

(b) If the Interim Facility Agent nonetheless pays that amount to the Payee (which it may do at its discretion) and the Interim Facility Agent had not in fact received that amount, then the Payee will on demand refund that amount to the Interim Facility Agent (together with interest on that amount at the rate determined by the Interim Facility Agent to be equal to the cost to the Interim Facility Agent of funding that amount for the period from payment by the Interim Facility Agent until refund to the Interim Facility Agent of that amount), provided that no Obligor will have any obligation to refund any such amount received from the Interim Facility Agent and paid by it (or on its behalf) to any third party for a purpose set out in Clause 3.3 (Purpose).

12.4 No set-off or counterclaim

All payments made or to be made by an Obligor under the Interim Finance Documents must be paid in full without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim (save to the extent contemplated in Clause 10 (Taxes)).

12.5 Business Days

(a) If any payment would otherwise be due under any Interim Finance Document on a day which is not a Business Day, that payment shall be due on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

(b) During any such extension of the due date for payment of any principal or overdue amount, or any extension of an Interest Period, interest shall accrue and be payable at the rate payable on the original due date.

12.6 Change in currency

(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country:

(i) any reference in any Interim Finance Document to, and any obligations arising under any Interim Finance Document in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, and paid in, the currency or currency unit designated by the Interim Facility Agent (after consultation with the Obligors' Agent); and

25

(ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank of that country for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Interim Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

(b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, the Interim Finance Documents will, to the extent the Interim Facility Agent specifies is necessary (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Obligors' Agent), be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in any relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. The Interim Facility Agent will notify the other Parties to the relevant Interim Finance Documents of any such amendment, which shall be binding on all the Parties.

12.7 Application of proceeds

(a) If the Interim Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under any Interim Finance Document, the Interim Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of such Obligor under the Interim Finance Documents in the following order:

(d) Any amount recovered under the Interim Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or any part of the Interim Security will be paid to the Interim Facility Agent to be applied as set out in paragraph (a) above.

(a) Each other Interim Finance Party confirms that it has made (and will continue to make) its own independent investigation and appraisal of the assets, business, financial condition and creditworthiness of the Group and the Target Group and of any risks arising under or in connection with any Interim Finance Document, and has not relied, and will not at any time rely, on any Arranger or any Agent:

(i) to assess the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) provided by or on behalf of the Obligors' Agent or any Group Company or any member of the Target Group under or in connection with any Interim Finance Document (whether or not that information has been or is at any time circulated to it by an Arranger or an Agent), or any document delivered pursuant thereto, including any contained in the Tax Structure Memorandum or the transactions contemplated thereby;

(ii) to assess whether that Interim Finance Party has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Interim Finance Document;

39

(iv) to assess the validity, legality, adequacy, accuracy, completeness, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any Transaction Document or any document delivered pursuant thereto.

(b) This Clause 17.7 is without prejudice to the responsibility of each Obligor for the information supplied by it or on its behalf under or in connection with the Interim Finance Documents and each Obligor remains responsible for all such information.

(c) No Party (other than the relevant Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, delegate, employee or agent of an Agent in respect of any claim it may have against that Agent or in respect of any act or omission by that officer, delegate, employee or agent in connection with any Interim Finance Document. Any officer, delegate, employee or agent of an Agent may rely on this Clause 17.7 in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

(d) No Agent will be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Interim Finance Documents to be paid by that Agent if that Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by that Agent for that purpose.

17.8 Know your customer

Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige any Agent or any Arranger to carry out know your customer or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Interim Lender and each Interim Lender confirms to the Agents and the Arrangers that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agents or the Arrangers.

17.9 Agents' indemnity

(a) Each Interim Lender shall on demand indemnify each Agent for its share of any cost, loss or liability incurred by the relevant Agent in acting, or in connection with its role, as Agent under the Interim Finance Documents, except to the extent that the cost, loss or liability is incurred as a result of the relevant Agent's fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct.

(i) that Interim Xxxxxx's participation in the outstanding Interim Loan bears to the outstanding Interim Loan at the time of demand; or

(ii) if there is no outstanding Interim Loan at that time, that Interim Lender's Interim Commitment bears to the Total Interim Commitments at that time; or

(iii) if the Total Interim Commitments have been cancelled, that Interim Lender's Interim Commitment bore to the Total Interim Commitments immediately before being cancelled.

(c) The provisions of this Clause 17.9 are without prejudice to any obligations of an Obligor to indemnify the Agents under the Interim Finance Documents.

(f) It is agreed that, in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trust expressed to be created by this Agreement, the relationship of the Interim Finance Parties to the Interim Security Agent shall be construed as one of principal and agent but, to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, that all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties hereto.

(a) within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Recovery, the Recovering Interim Lender shall notify details of such Recovery to the Interim Facility Agent;

(b) the Interim Facility Agent shall determine whether the amount of the Recovery is in excess of the amount which such Recovering Interim Lender should have received had such amount been paid to the Interim Facility Agent under Clause 12 (Payments) without taking account of any Tax which would have been imposed on the Interim Facility Agent in relation to the Recovery (any such excess amount being the Excess Recovery);

18.2 Notification of Recovery

If any Recovery has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Interim Lender after it has paid any amount to the Interim Facility Agent under paragraph (c) of Clause 18.1 (Recoveries), each Interim Lender to which any part of the Excess Recovery (or amount in respect of it) was distributed will, on request from the Recovering Interim Lender, pay to the Recovering Interim Lender that Interim Lender's pro rata share of the amount (including any related interest) which has to be refunded by the Recovering Interim Lender.

(b) which it receives as a result of legal proceedings taken by it to recover any amounts owing to it under the Interim Finance Documents, which proceedings have been notified to the other Interim Finance Parties and where the Interim Lender concerned had a right and opportunity to, but does not, either join in those proceedings or promptly after receiving notice commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court.
