SECTION 6

GUARANTEE

15.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

15.1	Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally:

(a)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all that Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents (or, in the case of the HK Guarantor only, the punctual performance by each Borrower of its payment obligations under the Finance Documents);

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 15 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

15.2	Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

15.3	Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, judicial management, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 15 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

15.4	Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 15 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 15, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 15 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

(a)

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, Security Provider or other person;

(b)

the release of any other Obligor, Security Provider or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group or any other person;

(c)

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor, Security Provider or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d)

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, Security Provider or any other person;

(e)

any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

(f)

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security;

(g)

any insolvency or similar proceedings; or

(h)

this Agreement or any other Finance Document not being executed by or binding upon any other party.

15.5	Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 15. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

15.6	Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(a)

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b)

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 15.

15.7	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Intercreditor Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise or otherwise enjoy the benefit of any right which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 15:

(a)

to be indemnified by an Obligor or Security Provider;

(b)

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor’s or Security Provider’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

(c)

to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

(d)

to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor or Security Provider to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 15.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

(e)

to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor or Security Provider; and/or

(f)

to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor or Security Provider in competition with any Finance Party.

If any Guarantor shall receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to any such right it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution (or so much of it as may be necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be paid in full) on trust for the Finance Parties, and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Intercreditor Agent or as the Intercreditor Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 25 (Payment Mechanics).

15.8	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution

If any Guarantor (other than the Company) (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with Clause 22.2 (Resignation of a Guarantor) then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

(a)

that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(b)

each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

15.9	Additional security

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

15.10

Guarantee limitations

(a)

The obligations and liabilities of the French Guarantor under the Finance Documents and in particular under this Clause 15 shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of article L.225-216 of the French Code de Commerce and/or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article(s) L.242-6 and L.244-1 of the French Code de Commerce or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts and/or would infringe article L. 511-7 of the French Code monétaire et financier.

(b)

The obligations and liabilities of the French Guarantor under this Clause 15 for the obligations under the Finance Documents of any Borrower shall be limited, at any time to an amount equal to: (A) the payment obligations of such Borrower, but (B) not exceeding the aggregate of all amounts directly borrowed under the Finance Documents by such other Borrower to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to the French Guarantor or its Subsidiaries under intercompany loan agreements and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by the French Guarantor under this Clause 15; it being specified that any payment made by the French Guarantor under this Clause 15 in respect of the obligations of such Borrower shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loans due by the French Guarantor under the intercompany loan agreements referred to above and that any repayment of the intercompany loans by the French Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the amount payable under this Clause 15.

(c)

It is acknowledged that the French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors and the French Guarantor shall therefore not be considered as “co-débiteur solidaire” as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Clause 15.

(d)

For the purpose of paragraphs (b) and (c) above “Subsidiary” means, in relation to any company, another company which is controlled by it within the meaning of article L.233-3 of the French Code de commerce.
