(b) a Lender notifies the Facility Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Loan in the proposed Optional Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it,

the Facility Agent will give notice to the Senior Borrower or the Company to that effect by the Specified Time on that day. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 8.2 will be required to participate in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount, or in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period.

and in each case is made available by the Senior Borrower to an On-Loan Borrower pursuant to an obligation of the Senior Borrower under the On-Loan Facility Agreement.

9.2 Availability

(a) If the Senior Borrower and a Lender agree and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Lender may provide an Ancillary Facility on a bilateral basis in place of all or part of that Lender’s unutilised Revolving Facility Commitment (which shall (except for the purpose of determining the Majority Lenders) be reduced by the amount of the Ancillary Commitment under that Ancillary Facility).

(b) An Ancillary Facility shall not be made available unless, not later than five Business Days prior to the Ancillary Commencement Date for an Ancillary Facility, the Facility Agent has received from the Senior Borrower:

(i) a notice in writing requesting the establishment of an Ancillary Facility and specifying:

(A) the On-Loan Borrower to which the Senior Borrower may make such Ancillary Facility available pursuant to the On-Loan Facility Agreement;

(B) the proposed Ancillary Commencement Date and Expiry Date of the Ancillary Facility;

(C) the proposed type of Ancillary Facility to be provided;

(D) the proposed Ancillary Lender;

(E) the proposed Ancillary Commitment, the maximum amount of the Ancillary Facility and, if the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account its maximum gross amount (that amount being the “Designated Gross Amount”) and its maximum net amount (that amount being the “Designated Net Amount”); and

(F) the proposed currency of the Ancillary Facility (if not denominated in the Base Currency);

(ii) a copy of the proposed Ancillary Document and an original of each document evidencing any related Supplemental Security;

70

(iv) any other information which the Facility Agent may reasonably request in connection with the Ancillary Facility.

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Senior Borrower, the Ancillary Lender and the other Lenders of the establishment of an Ancillary Facility.

No amendment or waiver of a term of any Ancillary Facility shall require the consent of any Finance Party other than the relevant Ancillary Lender unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Clause). In such a case, the provisions of this Agreement with regard to amendments and waivers will apply.

(c) Subject to compliance with paragraph (b) above:

(i) the Lender concerned will become an Ancillary Lender; and

(ii) the Ancillary Facility will be available,

with effect from the date agreed by the Senior Borrower and the Ancillary Lender.

9.3 Terms of Ancillary Facilities

(a) Except as provided below, the terms of any Ancillary Facility will be those agreed by the Ancillary Lender and the Senior Borrower.

(b) However, those terms:

(i) must be based upon normal commercial terms at that time (except as varied by this Agreement);

(ii) may allow the Senior Borrower to use the Ancillary Facility only to make it available to the On-Loan Borrowers under the On-Loan Facility Agreement (and if the Ancillary Facility Lender agrees, the Senior Borrower and the Ancillary Facility Lender may agree to make such Ancillary Facilities available to be utilised directly by the relevant On-Loan Borrower but for all purposes of the Finance Documents and such utilisation shall be, and shall be deemed, a Utilisation of such Ancillary Facility by the Senior Borrower hereunder which has been made available by the Senior Borrower to the relevant On-Loan Borrower pursuant to the On-Loan Facility Agreement);

(iii) may not allow the Ancillary Outstandings to exceed the Available Ancillary Commitment;

(iv) may not allow the Ancillary Commitment of a Lender to exceed the Available Commitment with respect to the Revolving Facility of that Lender; and

(v) must require that the Ancillary Commitment is reduced to nil, and that all Ancillary Outstandings are repaid (or cash cover provided in respect of all the Ancillary Outstandings) not later than the Termination Date for the Revolving Facility (or such earlier date as the Revolving Facility Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender (or its Affiliate) is reduced to zero).

71

(c) If there is any inconsistency between any term of an Ancillary Facility and any term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail except for (i) Clause 38.3 (Day count convention) which shall not prevail for the purposes of calculating fees, interest or commission relating to an Ancillary Facility and (ii) an Ancillary Facility comprising more than one account where the terms of the Ancillary Documents shall prevail.

(d) Interest, commission and fees on Ancillary Facilities are dealt with in Clause 18.5 (Interest, commission and fees on Ancillary Facilities).

9.4 Repayment of Ancillary Facility

(a) An Ancillary Facility shall cease to be available on the Termination Date in relation to the Revolving Facility or such earlier date on which its Expiry Date occurs or on which it is cancelled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If an Ancillary Facility expires in accordance with its terms the Ancillary Commitment of the Ancillary Lender shall be reduced to zero (and its Revolving Facility Commitment shall be increased accordingly).

(c) No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts or demand cash cover for any liabilities made available or incurred by it under its Ancillary Facility (except where the Ancillary Facility is provided on a net limit basis to the extent required to bring any gross outstandings down to the net limit) unless:

(i) the Total Revolving Facility Commitments have been cancelled in full, or all outstanding Utilisations under the Revolving Facility have become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the Facility Agent has declared all outstanding Utilisations under the Revolving Facility immediately due and payable, or the expiry date of the Ancillary Facility occurs; or

(ii) it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the Ancillary Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in its Ancillary Facility; or

(iii) the Ancillary Outstandings (if any) under that Ancillary Facility can be refinanced by a Revolving Facility Utilisation under the Revolving Facility and the Ancillary Lender gives sufficient notice to enable a Utilisation of the Revolving Facility to be made to refinance those Ancillary Outstandings.

(d) For the purposes of determining whether or not the Ancillary Outstandings under an Ancillary Facility mentioned in paragraph (c)(iii) above can be refinanced by a Utilisation of the Revolving Facility:

(i) the Revolving Facility Commitment of the Ancillary Lender will be increased by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment; and

(ii) the Utilisation may (so long as paragraph (c)(i) above does not apply) be made irrespective of whether a Default is outstanding or any other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied (but only to the extent that the proceeds are applied in refinancing those Ancillary Outstandings) and irrespective of whether Clause 4.4 (Maximum number of Utilisations) or paragraph (a)(iii) of Clause 5.2 (Completion of a Utilisation Request for Loans) applies.

72

(e) On the making of a Utilisation of the Revolving Facility to refinance Ancillary Outstandings:

(i) each Lender will participate in that Utilisation in an amount (as determined by the Facility Agent) which will result as nearly as possible in the aggregate amount of its participation in the Revolving Facility Utilisations then outstanding bearing the same proportion to the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Utilisations then outstanding as its Revolving Facility Commitment bears to the Total Revolving Facility Commitments; and

(ii) the relevant Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled.

(f) In relation to an Ancillary Facility which comprises an overdraft facility where a Designated Net Amount has been established, the Ancillary Lender providing that Ancillary Facility shall only be obliged to take into account for the purposes of calculating compliance with the Designated Net Amount those credit balances which it is permitted to take into account by the then current law and regulations in relation to its reporting of exposures to the applicable regulatory authorities as netted for capital adequacy purposes.

9.5 Ancillary Outstandings

The Senior Borrower and each Ancillary Lender agrees with and for the benefit of each Lender that:

(a) the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility provided by that Ancillary Lender shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment applicable to that Ancillary Facility and where the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account, Ancillary Outstandings under that Ancillary Facility shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount in respect of that Ancillary Facility; and

(b) where all or part of the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account, the Ancillary Outstandings (calculated on the basis that the words in brackets in paragraph (a) of the definition of that term were deleted) shall not exceed the Designated Gross Amount applicable to that Ancillary Facility.

9.6 Information

The Senior Borrower and each Ancillary Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Facility Agent, supply the Facility Agent with any information relating to the operation of an Ancillary Facility (including the Ancillary Outstandings) as the Facility Agent may reasonably request from time to time. The Senior Borrower consents to all such information being released to the Facility Agent and the other Finance Parties.

9.7 Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Lenders

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of a Lender may become an Ancillary Lender. In such case, the Lender and its Affiliate shall be treated as a single Lender whose Revolving Facility Commitment is the amount set out opposite the relevant Lender’s name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (The Original Parties). For the purposes of calculating the Lender’s Available Commitment with respect to the Revolving Facility, the Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to the extent of the aggregate of the Ancillary Commitments of its Affiliates.

73

(b) The Company shall specify any relevant Affiliate of a Lender in any notice delivered by the Company to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of Clause 9.2 (Availability).

(c) An Affiliate of a Lender which becomes an Ancillary Lender shall accede to this Agreement and the Intercreditor Deed by delivery to the Facility Agent of a duly completed accession undertaking in the form scheduled to the Intercreditor Deed.

(d) If a Lender assigns all of its rights and benefits or transfers all of its rights and obligations to a New Lender (as defined in Clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders)), its Affiliate shall cease to have any obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

(e) Where this Agreement or any other Finance Document imposes an obligation on an Ancillary Lender and the relevant Ancillary Lender is an Affiliate of a Lender which is not a party to that document, the relevant Lender shall ensure that the obligation is performed by its Affiliate.

9.8 Revolving Facility Commitment amounts

Subject to Clause 5.3(d) and (e), but notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, each Lender shall ensure that at all times its Revolving Facility Commitment is not less than the aggregate of:

(a) its Ancillary Commitment; and

(b) the Ancillary Commitment of its Affiliates.

10. UNCOMMITTED ACR FACILITY

10.1 Uncommitted ACR Facility

(a) Subject always to Clause 10.2 (Restrictions), the Company may deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent and the Lenders requesting that one or more of the Lenders agree to make the Uncommitted ACR Facility available to the Senior Borrower.

(b) Each Lender shall have 10 Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to confirm in writing (via the Facility Agent) whether it is willing to provide the Uncommitted ACR Facility to the Senior Borrower and if it is so willing, the amount of its proposed Commitment in respect of the Uncommitted ACR Facility. If a Lender makes such confirmation, such Lender shall have a Commitment in respect of the Uncommitted ACR Facility equal to such amount which such Lender has confirmed that it is willing to provide and which, when aggregated with any commitments agreed by any other Lender and New ACR Facility Lender (as defined below), does not exceed the Total Uncommitted ACR Facility Commitment.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender is obliged to agree to provide an Uncommitted ACR Facility and in the event of the Lenders not exercising the right of first refusal provided in paragraph (b) above to provide the Uncommitted ACR Facility, the Company may approach any other financial institution that is willing to provide such Facility in an amount which, when aggregated with any commitments agreed by any Lender, does not exceed the Total Uncommitted ACR Facility Commitment (a “New ACR Facility Lender”).

74

(d) Any New ACR Facility Lender shall accede as a “Lender” pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Deed.

83

13.5 Upstreaming monies

If:

(b) such monies cannot be so upstreamed or transferred without breaching a financial assistance prohibition (which may include the prohibition on giving financial assistance as set out in Section 53 of the Cypriot Companies Law, CAP. 113) or without breaching some other legal restriction or causing any director to breach a fiduciary duty or without the Group incurring a cost (whether as a result of paying additional Taxes or otherwise) equal to or greater than 5 per cent. of the monies to be upstreamed or otherwise transferred,

there will be no obligation to make that payment or prepayment until that impediment or cost (in excess of 5 per cent.) no longer applies. The Company and the relevant members of the Group will use reasonable commercial endeavours to (i) overcome that impediment and to minimise the costs of prepayment and (ii) use other available Cash in the Group which is not affected by the impediment or cost to prepay an equivalent amount, to the extent that to do so would not be materially prejudicial to the financial viability of the Group or give rise to any of the issues referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above.

(b) In the event of such a notification from a Non-Accepting Lender, the amount which would have been applied in prepaying such Non-Accepting Lender’s participations in the Facility B Loans shall be applied pro rata against the outstanding principal amount of the Facility B Loans owing to Facility B Lenders (other than the Non-Accepting Lenders) which do not, when offered such further prepayment, notify the Facility Agent within five Business Days that they do not wish to receive such prepayments, and against the outstanding principal amount of each of the Facility A Loans and ACR Financing Facility Loans.

85

15.3 Default interest

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, 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 which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is 1 per cent. per annum 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 15.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 1 per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

86

(c) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

15.4 Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Senior Borrower (or the Company) of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

15.5 Overfunding Account

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

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 19.3 (Tax indemnity).

91

(b) The Company shall promptly upon becoming 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) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender or Issuing Bank it shall promptly notify the Company and that Obligor.

(c) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction including any Tax Deduction on an amount increased pursuant to this Clause 19.2) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d) An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of Tax imposed by the respective Obligor’s Relevant Jurisdiction from a payment of interest on a Loan, if on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not 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.

(e) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor 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 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction 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 paid to the relevant taxing authority.

if 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 Finance Party; or

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (d) of Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up) applied.

(a) If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

(b) If any Finance Party makes any payment to an Obligor pursuant to paragraph (a) above and such Finance Party subsequently determines, in its sole discretion, that such Tax Credit in respect of which such payment was made was not available, has been withdrawn or that it was unable to use such Tax Credit in full, the relevant Obligor shall reimburse such Finance Party such amount as such Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion, is necessary to place it in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in if such Tax Credit had been obtained, fully used and retained by such Finance Party.

(b) If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(c) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

(b) If a Finance Party does not notify the Agent of its intention to claim pursuant to Clause 19 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) or this Clause 20.3 (Exceptions) within 90 days after the date of which the Lender becomes aware of the relevant:

(i) Taxes;

(ii) Increased Cost;

(iii) reduction in the rate of return on capital; or

(iv) loss,

that Finance Party shall not be entitled to claim indemnification for such Taxes, reduction in the rate of return on capital, Increased Cost or loss in respect of any period of more than 90 days before the date on which the Finance Party does notify the Agent of its intention to make such claim for indemnification, payment or

95

foregone interest or other return. The obligation of the Company or the Senior Borrower to make any payment under Clause 19 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) or this Clause 20 (Increased Costs) shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of 9 Months after such termination.

(b) payment is made within three Business Days of its due date.

29.2 Financial covenants and other obligations

(a) Any requirement of Clause 27 (Financial Covenants) is not satisfied provided that no Event of Default in respect of a breach of a financial covenant in Clause 27.2 (Financial condition) will occur if sufficient amounts of additional equity investment are invested in the Company (whether in the form of share capital in accordance with Clause 28.23 (Share capital) or by way of Shareholder Loan in accordance with Clause 28.22 (Financial Indebtedness), in either case an “Equity Investment”) within 10 Business Days of delivery of the financial statements evidencing such failure to comply, provided that the Equity Investments may not be made:

35.4 Clawback

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility 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.

166

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

39. PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

40. REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party or Secured Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

41. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

41.1 Required consents

(a) Subject to Clause 41.2 (Exceptions) any term of the Finance Documents may be amended or waived only with the consent of the Majority Lenders and the Company and any such amendment or waiver will be binding on all Parties.

(b) The Facility Agent may effect, on behalf of any Finance Party, any amendment or waiver permitted by this Clause 41.

(c) Each Obligor agrees to any such amendment or waiver permitted by this Clause 41 which is agreed to by the Company. This includes any amendment or waiver which would, but for this paragraph (c), require the consent of all of the Guarantors.

(i) a reduction in the Margin (other than as set out in the definition of “Margin”) or a reduction in the amount or currency of any payment of principal, interest, fees or commission payable or of any other amount payable to any Lender under the Finance Documents;

shall not be made without the prior consent of all of the Lenders.

(b) An amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent, any Mandated Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Security Agent, any Ancillary Lender or a Hedging Counterparty may not be effected without the consent of the Facility Agent, such Mandated Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Security Agent, that Ancillary Lender or that Hedging Counterparty.

(c) Any amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations applicable to a particular Loan, Facility or class of Lenders and which does not materially and adversely affect the rights or interest of Lenders in respect of other Loans, Facilities or another class of Lender, shall only require the consent of the relevant class of Majority Lenders (or the Super Majority Lenders, as the case may be) as if references in this Clause 41.2 to “Lenders” were only to Lenders participating in that Facility or forming part of that affected class.

(d) Any amendment which relates to the rights of the Lenders to waive prepayment of Facility B under Clause 14.8 (Prepayment elections; Facility B Lender option to decline) shall not be effected without the consent of the Lenders under Facility B.

(e) The Commitment of any Lender which fails to respond to a request for a waiver or amendment within 20 Business Days (or such longer period as the Company and the Facility Agent may agree) will be excluded from the calculation in determining whether the level of consent required under this Agreement has been obtained.

(f) Other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement or as required in any Finance Document, any release of:

(i) security; or

(ii) a guarantee,

(otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include a Permitted Reorganisation or a Permitted Disposal) or pursuant to enforcement action) shall require the consent of the Super Majority Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding the above, the Facility Agent may determine administrative matters and make technical amendments arising out of manifest error on the face of this Agreement, where such amendments would not prejudice or otherwise be adverse to the position of any Lender, without reference to any Lender.

(h) In determining whether Lenders, Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders have concurred in any direction or consent to any amendment, modification or other

174

change made under the Finance Documents, Commitments of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding. The Facility Agent may rely on a representation of the Company as to Affiliate holdings of Commitments in agreeing to any direction, waiver or consent, or any amendment, modification or other change to the Finance Documents.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 41 (Amendments and Waivers) shall restrict the exercise by the Mandated Lead Arrangers of their flex rights under and in connection with the Flex and Pricing Letter (as defined in the Commitment Letter).

41.3 Replacement of Lender

(a) If at any time:

(i) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined in paragraph (c) below);

(ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender (as defined in paragraph (d) below); or

(iii) an Obligor becomes obliged to repay any amount in accordance with Clause 12.1 (Illegality) or to pay additional amounts pursuant to Clause 20.1 (Increased Costs) or Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up) to any Lender in excess of amounts payable to the other Lenders generally; or

it becomes unlawful for a Lender (in its capacity as Issuing Lender) to issue or leave outstanding any Letter of Credit in accordance with Clause 12.2 (Illegality in relation to Issuing Bank),

then the Company may, on not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender, either:

(iv) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Replacement Lender; or

(v) prepay such Non-Consenting Lender’s or, as the case may be, Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments in the relevant Facility using the proceeds of Equity Investment and/or Retained Excess Cash (to the extent not used for another purpose under this Agreement).

(b) The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Clause shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) the Company shall have no right to replace the Facility Agent or Security Agent;

(ii) neither the Facility Agent nor the Lender shall (under this Clause 41.3 or under Clause 12.1 (Illegality)) have any obligation to the Company to find a Replacement Lender;

(iii) in the event of a replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Funding Lender such replacement must take place no later than 60 days after the date

175

the Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Funding Lender notifies the Company and the Facility Agent of its failure or refusal to agree to any consent, waiver or amendment to the Finance Documents requested by the Company;

(iv) in no event shall the Lender replaced under this paragraph (b) be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents; and

(v) in the case of a replacement of a Lender to which an Obligor becomes obliged to pay additional amounts pursuant to Clause 19.2 (Tax gross-up) or Clause 20.1 (Increased Costs) or Clause 12.1 (Illegality) such Obligor shall pay such additional amounts to such Lender prior to such Lender being replaced and the payment of such additional amounts shall be a condition to the replacement of such Lender.

(c) In the event that:

(i) the Company or the Facility Agent (at the request of the Company) has requested the Lenders to consent to a waiver or amendment of any provisions of the Finance Documents;

(ii) the waiver or amendment in question requires the consent of the Super-Majority Lenders or all the Lenders; and

(iii) Lenders whose Commitments aggregate more than 66 ²/3 per cent. of the Total Commitments (or, if the Total Commitments have been reduced to zero, aggregated more than 66 ²/3 per cent. of the Total Commitments prior to that reduction) have consented to such waver or amendment,

then any Lender who does not and continues not to agree to such waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

(d) Any Lender which fails to participate in a Loan it is obliged to make under this Agreement, or such Lender has given notice to the Facility Agent or the Company that it will not make or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to participate in a Loan, shall be deemed a “Non-Funding Lender”.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, a request by the Company pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of Clause 4.3 (Conditions relating to Optional Currencies) shall not be deemed a waiver or amendment for the purposes of Clause 41.1 (Required consents) or this Clause 41.3 (Replacement of Lender).

44.3 Lender’s Option

At any time before any Finance Party has nominated an arbitrator to resolve any Dispute or Disputes pursuant to Clause 44.1 (Arbitration), the Facility Agent may elect by notice in writing to the Company that such Dispute(s) be heard by the courts of England or by any other court of competent jurisdiction, as more particularly described in Clause 44.4 (Courts of England) and 44.6 (Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions). If the Facility Agent gives such notice, the Dispute(s) to which such notice refers shall be determined in accordance with 44.4 (Courts of England).

44.4 Courts of England

Each of the Parties other than the Finance Parties irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each of the Finance Parties that if the Facility Agent gives notice pursuant to Clause 44.3 (Lender’s Option), the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceedings (“Proceedings” ), and to settle any Disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(a) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor:

(i) irrevocably appoints Lion Capital LLP as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

44.7 Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions

The submissions to the jurisdiction of the courts of England shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Finance Parties or any of them to take Proceedings against any of the Parties in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

44.8 Waiver of Immunity

To the extent that any Party other than a Finance Party may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself or its assets such immunity (whether or not claimed), such Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

SCHEDULE 4

MANDATORY COST FORMULA

1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2. Each Lender that wishes to charge its Mandatory Costs shall calculate the relevant cash amount using a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) computed in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Lender as follows:

in relation to a sterling Loan:

in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:

Where:

A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

B is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 15.3 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

E is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Lender as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Lender pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in Sterling per £1,000,000.

195

5. For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a) “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b) any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

8. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9. Each Lender shall, if it wishes to charge a Mandatory Cost in respect of a loan inform the Facility Agent of the amount (which shall be expressed in US Dollars) thereof on or before 3.00 p.m. on the Quotation Day of such loan. If a lender fails to specify its cost in compliance with this Schedule or notification thereof is received late, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost and shall be under no obligation to make a claim therefore on the Senior Borrower.

10. The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11. The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

196

12. Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

13. The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

SCHEDULE 11

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. Considerations

In determining what security will be provided in support of this Agreement the following matters will be taken into account:

(a) any limitation imposed by applicable law or arising by reason of fiduciary duties owed by the directors;

(b) any other potential liabilities of the directors;

(c) the total cost of the guarantees and security, which will be reasonable in all the circumstances and not disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of the security;

(d) the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of the guarantees and security;

(e) whether the provision of the guarantees and security would impose an undue administrative burden on, or material inconvenience to the ordinary course of operations of, the provider of the guarantees and security or cause a Material Adverse Effect; and

(f) where assets or shares (other than shares in Subsidiaries or the Company) are subject to third party arrangements (including shareholder agreements or joint venture agreements) which prevent those assets from being charged (the Group to use all reasonable efforts to obtain consents therefor).

2. Guaranteed/Secured Liabilities

(a) The obligations to be guaranteed by the Guarantors or the On-Loan Guarantors and secured by the Transaction Security Documents are the Secured Liabilities. “Secured Liabilities” means all present and future obligations and liabilities (whether actual or contingent and whether owed jointly or severally or in any other capacity whatsoever) of each Obligor or On-Loan Obligor to the Finance Parties (or any of them) or, as the case may be, the lender of the On-Loan under each or any of the Finance Documents and together with all costs, charges and expenses incurred by any Finance Party in connection with the protection, preservation or enforcement of its respective rights under the Finance Documents (as the case may be) or any other document evidencing or securing any such liabilities.

(b) The security is, where legal and practical, to be granted in favour of the Security Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and otherwise to each of the Secured Parties. The security pursuant to the On-Loan Finance Documents is, to be granted in favour of the lender of the On-Loan.

(c) If local counsel to the Secured Parties advise that it is necessary to do so and then only to the extent required under local law, the obligations guaranteed and/or secured by any Obligor or On-Loan Obligor will be limited:

(i) to avoid any breach of financial assistance legislation;

(ii) to ensure there is corporate benefit;

217

(iii) to avoid any fraudulent preference or its equivalent;

(iv) to avoid any problems arising under any thin capitalisation rules;

(v) to avoid any breach of any law or regulation of any applicable jurisdiction; or

(vi) to avoid any criminal or personal liability of the directors of that Obligor or On-Loan Obligor.

Each Obligor or On-Loan Obligor will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that corporate benefit accrues to it and will ensure that each other Obligor uses reasonable endeavours to ensure that corporate benefit accrues to that Obligor or On-Loan Obligor.

3. Shares

(a) First ranking fixed share pledges or charges will be taken over the shares in each of the Obligors, the Target Group and all Material Subsidiaries.

(b) Where possible under local law, an equitable mortgage (or its equivalent in the local jurisdiction) over shares will be granted to the Security Agent (in connection with the On-Loan) the lender of the On-Loan. In jurisdictions where local counsel to the Secured Parties advise that it is necessary for perfection of the security that a legal mortgage over shares must be granted, and subject to the Security Agent being satisfied there will be no adverse consequences to it, share certificates will be written up in the name of the Security Agent or such lender and delivered to the Security Agent, together with a certified copy of the company register showing the Security Agent or such lender as the legal owner. In such circumstances where the Security Agent or such lender cannot be registered as legal owner under local law, share charges or pledges will be taken under which the chargor or pledgor will be required, subject to local laws, to transfer the shares to the Security Agent (or its nominee or an insolvency official) or such lender or its nominee (as an insolvency official) following enforcement of the security.

(c) The legal mortgages and share charges or pledges referred to above will contain provisions to ensure that, until the occurrence of a Declared Default, the grantor of the security is entitled to:

(i) receive dividends unless the payment of those dividends is prohibited by any other Finance Document; and

(ii) exercise voting rights, unless it is reasonably likely to be materially prejudicial to the validity or enforceability of the security created or would impair the value of the shares charged.

However, after a Declared Default, the voting and dividend receipt rights may only be exercised by the Security Agent or, as the case may be, the lender of the On-Loan.

(d) Share certificates in respect of certificated stock which are not written up in the name of the Security Agent. or, as the case may be, the lender of the On-Loan must be delivered to the Security Agent together (where customary) with executed (in blank) pre-stamped share transfer forms or (where customary) those share certificates will be endorsed in blank.

218

(e) Any security over shares should be noted in the appropriate corporate register of shareholders where necessary to perfect the security.

(f) Unless required by law, the constitutional documents of the grantor of the security will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares. This would include, for example, pre-emption rights or directors’ rights to refuse to register share transfers.

(g) Security over shares will, where possible, automatically charge any further shares issued.

4. Land and Buildings

(a) First ranking fixed mortgages or charges over all material land both freehold and leasehold (subject to any prior rights of any freeholder or third party which are not waived) together with plant, equipment and other fixed assets on the land.

(b) Any mortgage or charge over real estate will charge all interests in land and buildings, except where the granting of the security would contravene any legal or contractual prohibition. In this case, the proposed grantor of the security must use all reasonable endeavours to remove the prohibition before or within 60 days of the making of the first utilisation. It will also include a fixed charge over all material plant, equipment and other fixed assets on the land. All insurance policies relating to the real estate will, where possible under local law, be assigned in favour of the Security Agent or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan.

5. Receivables

(a) Receivables of an Obligor will be collected by that Obligor in the ordinary course of its business and paid into designated accounts. The Obligor will be entitled to use the proceeds of the receivables until the occurrence of a Declared Default.

(b) Except in respect of the Material Contracts referred to in paragraph 8 below, notification to debtors will not be required until an Event of Default has occurred.

6. Insurances

Insurance policies will be, where possible under local law and to the extent capable of being charged, be assigned in favour of the Security Agent or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan. Proceeds of insurance are to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7. Material Contracts and Claims

(a) All Material Contracts will be assigned or charged in favour of the Security Agent or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan.

(b) The relevant Group members will be required to notify counterparties to Material Contracts that have been assigned or charged under the Transaction Security Documents.

8. Security over Material Intellectual Property

(a) All Material Intellectual Property will be charged in favour of the Security Agent or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan.

219

(b) Registration of security interests over all registrable Material Intellectual Property is to be made in all relevant local registries in which the grantor of the security is resident or carries on material business.

(c) Material Intellectual Property will be defined as intellectual property which is necessary to the carrying out of the Group’s business.

9. Plant and Machinery

Fixed security will be taken over material plant and machinery to the extent it is not included in any mortgage of land in favour of the Security Agent or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan.

10. Accounts

(a) Fixed security will be taken over all bank accounts in the Group, except that any account held by the Target for operational purposes may be subject to floating security.

(b) Cash is to be held in designated accounts charged to the Finance Parties or, as the case may be, subject to withdrawal rights agreements in respect of accounts located in Russia.

(c) Until the occurrence of a Declared Default the Obligors are to be free to withdraw cash from their accounts to make payments permitted by this Agreement.

11. General business charge

Floating charges and general business charges will be taken where available.

12. Perfection

(a) Registration, when required or where customary under the relevant local law (as determined by local counsel to the Facility Agent), and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as practicable after security is granted and, in any event, within the time periods recommended by local counsel.

(b) Where it is customary (as determined by local counsel to the Facility Agent), a Security Document will contain a power of attorney allowing the Security Agent and/or any other relevant person to perform on behalf of the grantor of the security, its obligations under that Security Document following a breach by the grantor in complying with those obligations or on the occurrence of or to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(c) Where it is customary (as determined by local counsel to the Secured Parties) documents of title relating to the assets charged will be required to be delivered to the Security Agent or any other custodian as is required by the Lenders.

13. Consistency with Facility Agreements

Any representation, warranty or undertaking which it is usual or customary to include in a Security Document will reflect (to the extent to which the subject matter of the representation, warranty or undertaking is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty or undertaking in this Agreement) the commercial deal contained in this Agreement unless counsel to the Facility Agent consider it necessary (acting reasonably) to include any further

220

provisions (or deviate from those contained in this Agreement) in order to protect or preserve the security granted to the Secured Parties or, where advisable under local law, the lender of the On-Loan.

14. Enforcement
