(C) When any cancellation of Commitments under the Facility takes effect, each Lender’s Available Commitment under the Facility will be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total amount being cancelled as its Available Commitment under the Facility bears to the Available Facility (at that time).

in each case on condition that:

(a) each assignment or transfer under this paragraph (B) shall be arranged by the Company (with such reasonable assistance from the Existing Lender as the Company may reasonably request); and

(C) On receipt of a notice from the Company referred to in paragraph (A) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

(D) On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the Company has given notice of cancellation under paragraph (A) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Company in that notice), the Company shall repay that Lender’s participation in the relevant Utilisation.

(E) Paragraphs (A) and (B) do not in any way limit the obligations of any Finance Party under clause 16.1 (Mitigation).

9. INTEREST

9.1 Calculation of interest

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

(A) Margin; and

(B) LIBOR.

9.2 Payment of interest

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

9.3 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 1.0 per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this clause shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by that 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 1.0 per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(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.

9.4 Notification of rates of interest

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

10. INTEREST PERIODS

10.1 Selection of Interest Periods

(A) The Borrower shall select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan.

(B) Subject to this clause, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of 1, 3 or 6 months or such other period as may be agreed between the Company and the Facility Agent.

10.2 Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period ends on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day, unless the next Business Day is in another month, in which case the Interest Period will end on the preceding Business Day.

11. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

11.1 Absence of quotations

Subject to clause 11.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Banks does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

11.2 Market disruption

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

(i) the Margin; and

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

(B) In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means if, on or about noon in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, none or only one

of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the Interest Period, or the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations exceed 35 per cent. in aggregate of all participations) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be materially in excess of LIBOR.

11.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding

(A) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(B) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (A) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

11.4 Break Costs

(A) The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by it on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

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

(C) If, following a payment by the Borrower of all or part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum, a Lender realises a profit, and no Event of Default is continuing, that Lender must pay an amount equal to that profit to the Borrower as soon as practicable.

11.5 FATCA Information

(A) Subject to paragraph (C) below, each Party shall, within ten 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; and

(ii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the

US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA.

(B) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 11.5(A)(i)(a) 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 Finance 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 its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (A) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (C) above applies), then:

(i) if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii) if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

12. FEES

12.1 Commitment fee

(A) The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee at a rate equal to 40 per cent. per annum of the Margin.

(B) The accrued commitment fee is payable quarterly (on each of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December) in arrears on any undrawn and uncancelled portion of the Commitments for the period from and including the date of this Agreement until and including the last day of the Availability Period.

(C) Notwithstanding paragraphs (A) and (B) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such commitment fees to the Facility Agent for the account of any Lender during the period in which such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender.

12.2 Front end fees

The Borrower shall pay to each Mandated Lead Arranger, front end fees in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(iii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

PART 8
CHANGES TO LENDERS AND OBLIGORS AND ROLES

22. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

22.1 Assignments and transfers and changes in Facility Office by the Lenders

Subject to this clause, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

(A) (i) assign any of its rights; or

(ii) transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

to an Affiliate, another Lender, an Affiliate of another Lender or a Qualifying Bank, another bank or financial institution or to a trust or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets or such other institution as the Borrower may agree in writing (the “New Lender”), or

(B) change its Facility Office.

22.2 Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office

(A) The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is (i) to, or in favour of, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Qualifying Bank, or (ii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

(B) The consent of the Company is required for a change in Facility Office to a different jurisdiction. In the case of a change of Facility Office for which the Company’s consent is not required, the Lender must notify the Company of the new Facility Office promptly on the change taking effect.

(C) The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer or change in Facility Office must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and will be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the relevant Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time).

(D) An assignment will only be effective on:

(i) receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

(ii) the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the relevant Finance Documents (including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor Agreements).

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

(F) If:

(i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 13 (TAX GROSS UP AND INDEMNITIES) or clause 14 (INCREASED COSTS),

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

(G) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement.

(H) Any assignment or transfer of part of the Existing Lender’s rights and/or obligations must be a minimum of USD 5 million (or, if less, the entire Commitment of the Existing Lender) and must not result in the Existing Lender retaining less than USD 5 million, unless the assignment or transfer is made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

22.3 Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 2,500.

22.4 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(A) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(B) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

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

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

(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause; or

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

22.5 Procedure for transfer

(A) Subject to the conditions set out in clause 22.2 (Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (B) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate on behalf of the other Finance Parties and the Obligors as well as itself, and notify the Company of the date of the transfer and name of the New Lender. Each Finance Party and each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to sign such a Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(B) On the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another

under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

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

(iii) the Facility Agent, each Mandated Lead Arranger, the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent such Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

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

22.6 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Lender Accession Notice to Borrower

The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or Lender Accession Notice, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Lender Accession Notice.

22.7 Disclosure of information

Any Lender, its officers and agents may disclose to any of its Affiliates (including its head office, representative and branch offices in any jurisdiction) (each a “Permitted Party”) and:

(A) to any person (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or any adviser on a need to know basis advising such person on any of the foregoing);

(B) to a professional adviser or a service provider of the Permitted Parties on a need to know basis advising such person on the rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or to an auditor of any Permitted Party on a need to know basis;

(C) with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor (or any adviser of any of the foregoing on a need to know basis advising such person on the rights and obligations under the Finance Documents);

(D) to any rating agency (provided only general terms are disclosed in relation to the rating of a portfolio of assets), insurer or insurance broker, a direct or

indirect provider of credit protection in respect of the Lender’s participation in the Facility only on a need to know basis;

(E) to any court or tribunal or regulatory, supervisory, governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Permitted Parties who requires disclosure of that information (where the Permitted Party has a legal obligation to provide that information or, if not, is customarily obligated or required to comply with such requirement);

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

(G) to any person who invests in or otherwise finances (or may potentially invest in or otherwise finance), directly or indirectly, any transaction referred to in paragraphs (A) or (C) above,

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (A) to (C) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking (unless such person is already subject to professional confidentiality requirements which are no less stringent than those which are set out in a Confidentiality Undertaking) and provided that it shall itself ensure that all such information is kept confidential and is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.

22.8 Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 22, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create any Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(A) any charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

(B) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

(i) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii) require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those

required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

(iii) subject to any restrictions or limitations in any contracts to which the Group member is subject as at the date on which the obligation under paragraph (A) above arises (and which were not agreed to or imposed in contemplation of the guarantee being given).

23.6 Repetition of Representations

8.1 Rights of Security and Intercreditor Agent

Subject to the terms of the KEL Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the KEL Intercreditor Agreement is not in force and effect, the RCF Agreement), if at any time after the Charge has become enforceable (and so long as an Event of Default is continuing) the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall have the right, in its absolute discretion without any notice to or consent of the Chargor or prior authorisation from any court, to enforce all or any part of its Security over the Charged Property and:

(A) Possession

to take possession of, collect and transfer, and in particular to take any steps necessary to secure and perfect its title or vest all or any of the Charged Property in the name of the Security and Intercreditor Agent or its nominee (including completing any share transfer instrument in respect of any Shares comprised in the Charged Property) and to receive and retain any Dividends;

(B) Sell

to sell, exchange, convert into money or otherwise dispose of or realise the Charged Property (whether by public offer or private contract) to any person and for such consideration (whether comprising cash, debentures or other obligations, Shares or other valuable consideration of any kind) and on such terms (whether payable or deliverable in a lump sum or by instalments) in the

manner and at the time as it may think fit, and for this purpose to complete any transfers of the Charged Property;

for the purpose of preserving the value of the Charge or realising the same, to exercise or direct the exercise of all voting and other Rights relating to the Charged Property in such manner as it may think fit;

(D) Claims

to settle, adjust, refer to arbitration, compromise and arrange any claims, accounts, disputes, questions and demands relating in any way to the Charged Property;

(E) Legal actions

8.2 Obligations of Chargor

After the Charge has become enforceable:

(A) all Dividends and other monies arising from the Charged Property shall be paid to and retained by the Security and Intercreditor Agent, and any such moneys which may be received by the Chargor shall, pending such payment, be segregated from any other property of the Chargor and held in trust for the Security and Intercreditor Agent; and

(B) the Chargor shall procure that all voting and other Rights relating to the Charged Property are exercised in accordance with such instructions (if any) as may from time to time be given to the Chargor by the Security and Intercreditor Agent, and the Chargor shall deliver to the Security and Intercreditor Agent such forms of proxy or other appropriate forms of authorisation to enable the Security and Intercreditor Agent to exercise such voting and other Rights.

8.3 Financial Collateral Arrangements

To the extent that any of the Charged Property constitutes “financial collateral” and this Deed and the obligations of the Chargor hereunder constitute a “security financial collateral arrangement” (in each case as defined in, and for the purposes of, the Financial Collateral Arrangements No.2 Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 NO. 3226) (the “Regulations”) the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall have the right at any time on or after the enforcement of this Deed, to appropriate all or any part of such financial collateral in or towards discharge of the Secured Liabilities. For this purpose, the parties agree that the value of such financial collateral so appropriated shall be the market price of the Original Shares, any Further Shares and any Derived Assets determined by the Security and Intercreditor Agent by reference to a public index or by such other process as the Security and Intercreditor Agent may select, including independent valuation. In each case, the parties agree that the method of valuation provided for in this Deed shall constitute a commercially reasonable method of valuation for the purposes of the Regulations.

9. APPLICATION OF MONEYS

All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Security and Intercreditor Agent in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or part of the Security over the Charged Property shall be held by the Security and Intercreditor Agent on trust to apply them to the extent permitted by applicable law in the manner set out in the Finance Documents and Section 109(8) of the LPA 1925 shall be deemed varied and extended in such respect and shall be deemed incorporated herein as if they relate to a receiver of the Charged Property and not merely a receiver of the income thereof.

10. GENERAL RIGHTS OF SECURITY AGENT

10.1 Chargee’s liability

The Security and Intercreditor Agent will not be liable to account as mortgagee or mortgagee in possession in respect of the Charged Property or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature whatsoever in connection with the Charged Property for which a mortgagee or mortgagee in possession might as such be liable.

10.2 Statutory powers

The powers conferred by this Deed on the Security and Intercreditor Agent are in addition to and not in substitution for the powers conferred on mortgagees and mortgagees in possession under the LPA, the Insolvency Xxx 0000 or otherwise by law and in the case of any conflict between the powers contained in any such Act and those conferred by this Deed the terms of this Deed will prevail.

10.4 New Account

(A) the Security and Intercreditor Agent receiving notice (either actual or constructive) of any subsequent Security affecting the Charged Property; or

(B) the commencement of the insolvency, administration, reorganisation, liquidation or dissolution of, or any analogous proceeding in respect of, the Chargor,

any Secured Party may open a new account in the name of the Chargor (whether or not it permits any existing account to continue).

If that Secured Party does not open such a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when the notice was received or was deemed to have been received or, as the case may be, the insolvency, administration, reorganisation, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding commenced. Thereafter, all payments made by the Chargor to that Secured Party or received by that Secured Party for the account of the Chargor shall be credited or treated as having been credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount secured by this Deed at the time when that Secured Party received or was deemed to have received such notice or, as the case may be, the insolvency, administration, reorganisation, liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding commenced.

10.5 Delegation

The Security and Intercreditor Agent may delegate in any manner to any person any of the Rights which are for the time being exercisable by the Security and Intercreditor Agent under this Deed.

10.6 Set-off by Security and Intercreditor Agent

The Security and Intercreditor Agent may at any time, without notice to the Chargor and without prejudice to any of the Security and Intercreditor Agent’s other Rights, set off any Secured Liabilities which are due and unpaid against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by the Security and Intercreditor Agent to the Chargor, regardless of the place of payment or booking branch, and for that purpose the Security and Intercreditor Agent may convert one currency into another at the rate of

exchange determined by the Security and Intercreditor Agent in its absolute discretion to be prevailing at the date of set-off.

11. LIABILITY OF SECURITY AGENT, DELEGATES AND NOMINEES

11.1 Possession

If the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any Delegate shall take possession of the Charged Property, it may at any time relinquish such possession.

11.2 Security and Intercreditor Agent’s Liability

(A) be liable to account to the Chargor or any other person for anything except the Security and Intercreditor Agent’s own actual receipts; or

(B) be liable to the Chargor or any other person for any costs, charges, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses arising from any realisation of the Charged Property or from any exercise or non-exercise by the Security and Intercreditor Agent of any Right conferred upon it in relation to the Charged Property or from any act, default of any nature, omission or misconduct of any nature of the Security and Intercreditor Agent, its officers, employees or agents in relation to the Charged Property except in the case of the fraud, gross negligence or wilful default upon the part of the Security and Intercreditor Agent or its officers, employees or agents.

11.3 Delegate’s and Nominee’s Liability

All the provisions of Clause 11.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, in respect of the liability of any Delegate or nominee of the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any officer, employee or agent of the Security and Intercreditor Agent, any Delegate or any nominee of the Security and Intercreditor Agent.

11.4 Indemnity

The Security and Intercreditor Agent and every Delegate, attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Security and Intercreditor Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the Charge, be entitled to be indemnified out of the Charged Property in respect of all liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in the execution or purported execution of any of its Rights and against all actions, proceedings, costs, claims, losses, liabilities and demands in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted in anyway relating to the Charged Property, or as a consequence of any breach by the Chargor of any provision of this Deed and the Security and Intercreditor Agent and any such Delegate, attorney,

manager, agent or other person appointed by the Security and Intercreditor Agent hereunder may retain and pay all sums in respect of the same out of any moneys received.

11.5 Default Interest

If the Chargor fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Deed on its due date for payment of that sum the Original Borrower shall, without double counting, pay interest on such sum (before and after any judgment) at the rate and in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Default Interest) of the RCF Agreement.

11.6 Tax Gross-up

(A) All payments to be made by the Chargor to the Security and Intercreditor Agent under this Deed shall be made free and clear of any Tax Deduction, unless such Tax Deduction is required by law.

(B) The Chargor shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Security and Intercreditor Agent accordingly.

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

(D) If the Chargor is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Chargor 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.

(E) If the Chargor makes any payment in respect of or relating to a Tax Deduction, but was no obliged to make such payment, the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall within five Business Days of demand refund such payment to the Chargor.

12. PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

No person dealing with the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any Delegate shall be concerned to enquire whether any event has happened upon which any of the Rights conferred under or in connection with this Deed are or may be exercisable, whether any consents, regulations, restrictions or directions relating to such Rights have been obtained or complied with or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of acts purporting or intended to be in exercise of any such Rights or as to the application of any money borrowed or raised or other proceeds of enforcement.

13. ACCESSION OF HY NOTEHOLDER TRUSTEE

(A) Each party to this Deed agrees that any collateral agent, trustee or other representative of the HY Noteholders may enter into and accede to this Deed as a Secured Party for and on behalf of itself and each HY Noteholder without the requirement for any consent or approvals from the parties to this Deed (or any of them). Such accession shall confer upon the HY Noteholders all of the rights and privileges set out in this Deed. The Chargor may by not less than five Business Days’ written Notice (the “Amendment Notice Period”) to the Security and Intercreditor Agent request that such amendments and/or additions be made to this Deed as any collateral agent, trustee or other representative of the HY Noteholders (whether appointed at that time or not) may reasonably require (the “HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments”). During the Amendment Notice Period, either:

(i) the Security Agent shall enter into any agreement effecting the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments, on the instructions of the Majority Lenders; or

(ii) the Facility Agent shall notify the Chargor in writing of any determination by the Majority Lenders that the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments would materially and adversely prejudice their interests.

(B) If, on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, the Facility Agent is required to make the notification described in paragraph (A)(ii) above, the Facility Agent shall promptly contact the Chargor in writing, setting out in reasonable detail the basis and reasons for that decision and the changes which the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) would require for the Security and Intercreditor Agent to enter into the revised version of this Deed with the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments Incorporated. If such changes are made, then the Security and Intercreditor Agent will be deemed to have been instructed by the Majority Lenders promptly to enter into any agreement effecting the HY Noteholder Amendments, together with the changes required by the Majority Lenders.

14. CONTINUING SECURITY

The Charge shall be a continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Liabilities and shall not be satisfied, discharged or affected unless and until discharged by the Security and Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 17, regardless of any intermediate payment or settlement of any part of the Secured Liabilities (whether or not any Secured Liabilities remain outstanding thereafter) or any other matter or thing whatsoever.

15. OTHER SECURITY

The Charge shall be in addition to, independent of, and shall not be prejudiced by, any other Security or any guarantee or indemnity or other document which the Security

and Intercreditor Agent may at any time hold for the payment of the Secured Liabilities or any rights powers and remedies provided by law. No prior Security held by the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any other Secured Party over the whole or any part of the Charged Property shall merge into the Security constituted by this Deed.

16. CHARGE NOT TO BE AFFECTED

16.1 Charge not to be affected

Without prejudice to Clauses 14 and 15, the Charge or the liability of the Chargor for the Secured Liabilities under this Deed will not be affected or prejudiced by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 16.1, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Deed and this Security (whether or not known to the Chargor or the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any Secured Party) including:

(A) any variation, novation, amendment, supplement, extension (whether of maturity or otherwise) or restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) of any Finance Document or any consent, waiver or release granted under or in connection with, any Security, guarantee, indemnity, Finance Document or other document; or

(B) time being given, or any other indulgence or concession being granted, by the Security and Intercreditor Agent to the Chargor or any other person (including the other Obligors); or

(E) any change in the constitution of the Chargor; or

(G) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Chargor may have at any time against the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any other person; or

(H) the making or absence of any demand for payment of any Secured Liabilities on the Chargor or any other person, whether by the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any other person; or

(L) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any document or Security; or

(M) any other thing done or omitted or neglected to be done by the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any other person or any other omission, dealing, fact, matter or thing which, but for this provision, might operate to prejudice, reduce, release or affect the liability of the Chargor for the Secured Liabilities whether or not known to the Chargor, the Security and Intercreditor Agent or any Secured Party.

16.2 Non-competition

Until all the Secured Liabilities have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, the Chargor shall not (other than in accordance with the RCF Agreement or the HY Note Indenture or with the prior written consent of the Security and Intercreditor Agent):

(A) claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of the Company or its estate; or

(B) receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of the Company, or exercise any right of combination, counter-claim, “flawed-asset” arrangement or set-off as against the Company.

The Chargor will hold on trust for, and forthwith pay or transfer to, the Security and Intercreditor Agent all payments or benefits received by it contrary to the above. If the Chargor exercises any right of set-off, counterclaim or combination contrary to the above, it will forthwith pay an amount equal to the amount set-off, counterclaimed or combined to the Security and Intercreditor Agent.

17. RELEASE OF CHARGED PROPERTY

17.1 Release of Charged Property

If, in accordance with the KEL Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the KEL Intercreditor Agreement is not in force and effect, the RCF Agreement), the Security and Intercreditor Agent is satisfied that:

(A) all Secured Liabilities have been irrevocably paid or discharged in full and the RCF Agreement and the HY Note Indenture have been terminated and the Security and Intercreditor Agent and the Secured Parties have no further actual or contingent obligations to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to the Borrower or any other person under the RCF Agreement or the HY Note Indenture;

(B) Security or a guarantee for the Secured Liabilities, in each case acceptable to the Security and Intercreditor Agent, has been provided in substitution for this Deed; or

then, the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor and subject to Clause 17.2 execute such deeds and do all such acts and things as may be necessary to release the Charged Property (or, in the case of Clause 17.1(C), the relevant Charged Property) from the Charge.

17.2 Retention of Deed

If the Chargor requests the Security and Intercreditor Agent to release the Charged Property from the Charge following any payment or discharge made or Security or guarantee given in relation to the Secured Liabilities by a person other than the Chargor (a “Relevant Transaction”) and the Security and Intercreditor Agent reasonably considers that the Relevant Transaction is capable of being avoided, reduced or invalidated by virtue of applicable law, the Security and Intercreditor Agent shall be entitled to retain this Deed (and all stock and share certificates, documents of title and other documentary evidence of ownership in relation to the Charged Property deposited with the Security and Intercreditor Agent pursuant to Clause 3) and shall not be obliged to release the Charged Property from the Charge until the expiry of the Retention Period in relation to that Relevant Transaction. If at any time before the expiry of that Retention Period any material step has been taken for or with a view to the administration, liquidation or dissolution of such other person or any analogous proceeding in respect of such other person, the Security and Intercreditor Agent may continue to retain this Deed (and all such stock and share certificates, documents of

title and documentary evidence) and shall not be obliged to release the Charged Property from the Charge for such further period as the Security and Intercreditor Agent may reasonably determine.

17.3 Retention Period

(ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

the Chargor shall as an independent obligation, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify the Security and Intercreditor Agent against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.
