No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(b) The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor shall be a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below. The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Note or any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party’s Notes under a Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor.

(i) the Company on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of an Issuer, any Notes Subscription Requests), to deliver any Additional Facility Notice, to execute on its behalf any Accession Deed, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and

(ii) each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Company,

and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without limitation, any Notes Subscription Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

(b) Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors’ Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of

38

another Obligor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligors’ Agent shall prevail.

(c) For this purpose each Obligor incorporated in Germany releases the Company to the fullest extent possible from the restrictions of section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

If a Noteholder fails to give the Agent such notice that Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected not to waive any part of its share of the relevant redemption and the Agent shall be entitled to proceed accordingly.

48

(b) Redemptions waived by a Noteholder in accordance with paragraph (a) above will, at the Company’s option, be offered to those Noteholders (if any) that did not waive such redemption pro rata to their share of Commitments under the relevant Facility and any remaining balance not so accepted by a Noteholder within two Business Days of such offer will be retained by the Group for its general corporate purpose.

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

(c) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall also reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Clause 16.7, to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994, as may be amended or substituted from time to time), or to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by a Member State).

16.8 U.S. Tax matters

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Clause 16, an Obligor shall be entitled to make a withholding with respect to any payment hereunder (without being required to make a gross-up payment under Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up) or an indemnity payment under Clause 16.3 (Tax indemnity)) on account of any Tax imposed by the United States under any Finance Document in respect of an amount owed by a U.S. Issuer to a Noteholder to the extent that such Tax was required as a result of the failure by a Noteholder to provide any of the Withholding Tax Forms required by paragraphs (b),

(c) or (d) of this Clause 16.8, unless such Noteholder ceases to be able to legally provide a Withholding Tax Form or withdraws a previously tendered Withholding Tax Form as a result of any change after the date it became a Noteholder under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.

(b) On the date a Noteholder becomes a Noteholder with respect to a Note for which the Issuer is a U.S. Issuer, or a Commitment extended to a U.S. Issuer (including as a result of such Noteholder becoming a Party to this Agreement or as a result of a Listing), such Noteholder shall provide, as relevant, (i) an IRS Form W-9, (ii) an IRS Form W-8ECI, (iii) an IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming a complete exemption under an applicable double tax treaty from U.S. tax on income earned under this Agreement, (iv) an IRS Form W-8EXP, (v) an IRS Form W-8BEN-E accompanied by a certification that it is not a (1) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) ten percent shareholder of the Parent or the U.S. Issuer within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code and (3) it is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent or the U.S. Issuer as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, or (vi) any other IRS forms or certifications that establish the Noteholder is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. tax on income earned under this Agreement (each such IRS form along with any successor forms being a “Withholding Tax Form”). Withholding Tax Forms may be provided directly or attached to an IRS Form W-8IMY, as appropriate.

(c) Each Noteholder in respect of a U.S. Issuer shall subsequently provide Withholding Tax Forms upon the Noteholder in respect of a U.S. Issuer taking any actions that cause the previously provided Withholding Tax Forms to no longer be accurate or as soon as practicable upon reasonable request of the U.S. Issuer, except to the extent the Noteholder is unable to do so because of a change after the date it became a Noteholder under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.

62

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, if a Noteholder transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents, the transferee shall be entitled to the benefit of Clauses 16.2 (Tax gross-up) and 16.3 (Tax indemnity) with respect to a Tax imposed by the United States, other than to the extent the transferee or assignee is subject to greater amounts of such Tax than the transferor or assignor on payments made at the time of the transfer, provided the transferee or assignee delivers a Withholding Tax Form it is legally able to provide establishing any exemption or reduction in U.S. withholding taxes it is eligible for.

(e) Each Noteholder hereby confirms that it is and will remain a U.S. Exempt Noteholder except as a result of any change in law after the date it became a Noteholder under this Agreement and agrees that the Issuer is entitled to net from the payments to the relevant Noteholder hereunder any United States federal withholding Taxes imposed on payments within the Group resulting from a breach of such confirmation and representation.

16.9 FATCA information

63

(e) If an Issuer is a U.S. Tax Obligor, or where the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Noteholder shall, within ten Business Days of:

The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the relevant Issuer.

(h) The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Noteholder pursuant to paragraph (e) to (g) above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.

16.10 FATCA Deduction

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

21. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

21.1 Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

(a) guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

69

(b) undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor 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 an Obligor 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 21 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

21.2 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.

21.3 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 or returned in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 21 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

21.4 Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 21 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 21, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 21 (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 or other person;

(b) the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor 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 or any other person;

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

70

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

(g) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

In the event that any Issuer becomes subject to any proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor and the Finance Parties, all or any portion of the amounts owing under this Agreement by such Issuer may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Clause 26.13 (U.S. insolvency acceleration) of this Agreement (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances described in Clause 26.13 (U.S. insolvency acceleration) of this Agreement) for purposes of this Clause 21, notwithstanding any stay (including under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), injunction or other prohibition preventing the same as against such Issuer and that, in such event, all such amounts (whether or not due and payable by such Issuer) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of this Clause 21.

21.5 Guarantor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 21.4 (Waiver of defences) each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

21.6 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 21. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

21.7 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 21.

21.8 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 Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by

71

it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 21:

(a) to be indemnified by an Obligor;

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’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 to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 21.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent 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 repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment mechanics).

21.9 Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution

If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other Disposal of that Retiring 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.

21.10 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.

21.11 Other limitations

This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Guarantor and, with respect to any Additional Guarantor, is subject to any limitations set out in the Accession Deed applicable to such Additional Guarantor.

72

21.12 Guarantee limitation – Excluded Swap Obligations

(a) Any term or provision of this Clause 21 or any other term in this Agreement or any Finance Document notwithstanding, the obligations guaranteed under this Clause 21 shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligation.

(b) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honour all of its obligations under the Finance Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph (b) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Clause 21, or otherwise under the Finance Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this paragraph

(b) shall remain in full force and effect until the discharge or release of the guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Finance Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph (b) constitute, and this paragraph (b) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Finance Party for all purposes of Section la(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(b) incurred in wilful or gross negligent violation of any of the provisions of the Finance Documents,

(a) its (or, where the German Guarantor is a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) share capital (Stammkapital) as registered in the commercial register (Handelsregister) provided that any increase registered after the date of this Agreement (or in the case of an Additional Guarantor, the date it has become party to this Agreement) shall not be taken into account unless (i) such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Agent (even if such increase is permitted under this Agreement or any other Finance Document) and (ii) only to the extent it is fully paid up; and

KG, to, or for the benefit of, its general partner or any of its Subsidiaries) and outstanding from time to time.

(a) This Clause 21.15 applies if and to the extent the Guarantee is given by a German Guarantor and is an Up-stream and/or Cross-stream Guarantee.

75

(b) Each Finance Party agrees that the enforcement of the Guarantee granted by a German Guarantor shall be limited if:

(i) (and to the extent that) the Guarantee constitutes an Up-stream and/or Cross- Stream Guarantee; and

(ii) payment under the Guarantee would otherwise,

(A) have the effect of reducing the German Guarantor’s (or, where the German Guarantor is a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Net Assets to an amount that is lower than the amount of its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Protected Capital or, if the amount of the Net Assets is already lower than the amount of its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Protected Capital, cause the Net Assets to be further reduced; and

(B) thereby give rise to a violation of the capital maintenance requirement as set out in section 30 paragraph 1 of the GmbHG.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days after a Finance Party has made a demand under the Guarantee, the German Guarantor shall provide a certificate to the Agent signed by its managing director(s) confirming in writing if and to what extent the Guarantee is an Up-stream and/or Cross-stream Guarantee and an enforcement of the Guarantee would have the effects referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) above (the “Management Determination”). Such confirmation shall comprise an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Guarantor (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) and a detailed calculation, based on the provisions of this Agreement, of the amount of the Net Assets and Protected Capital of the German Guarantor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner). The relevant German Guarantor shall fulfil its obligations under the Guarantee within three (3) Business Days of providing the Management Determination (and each Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce the Guarantee) in an amount which pursuant to the Management Determination would not cause the effects set out in paragraph (b)(ii) above (irrespective of whether or not the Agent agrees with the Management Determination).

(d) If the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Noteholders) disagrees with the Management Determination, it may within twenty (20) Business Days of its receipt request the German Guarantor to deliver, at its own cost and expense, within twenty (20) Business Days of such request an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Guarantor (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner), drawn-up by an auditor appointed by the German Guarantor in consultation with the Agent, together with a detailed calculation, based on the provisions of this Agreement, of the amount of the Net Assets and Protected Capital of the German Guarantor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The German Guarantor shall fulfil its obligations under the Guarantee within three (3) Business Days of providing the Auditor’s Determination (and each Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce the Guarantee) in an amount which pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination would not cause the effects set out in paragraph (b)(ii) above.

(e) No reduction of the amount enforceable pursuant to this Clause 21.15 will prejudice the right of the Finance Parties to continue to enforce the Guarantee (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the claims guaranteed.

76

(f) The Finance Parties shall upon written demand of the relevant German Guarantor to the Agent (on behalf of the Finance Parties) repay to the relevant German Guarantor any amount which the Agent would not have been entitled to enforce had the Management Determination or the Auditor’s Determination been delivered in time or the difference between the amount paid and the amount payable resulting from the Auditor’s Determination calculated as of the date the demand in respect of a Guarantee Obligation was made.

(g) Each German Guarantor shall (and, in the case of a German Guarantor in the form of a GmbH & Co. KG, shall procure that its general partner will) do everything commercially justifiable and legally permitted to avoid the enforcement of the Guarantee becoming limited pursuant to the terms of this Clause 21.15 and shall in particular, within three (3) months after a written request of the Agent (such request not to be made except in a situation where that German Guarantor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its Protected Capital) realise at least at market value any of its (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, any of its general partner’s) assets that is not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, that of its general partner) and is shown in its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) balance sheet with a book value that is in the reasonable opinion of the Agent significantly lower than the market value.

(a) in respect of the amount of each part of the Pro Forma increase in the Consolidated EBITDA of the Restricted Group which is attributable to such adjustment, such increase shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Company with such certification accompanied by reasonably detailed analysis of such increase;

(b) the aggregate amount of all such adjustments to Consolidated EBITDA, to the extent they result in an increase in Consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to 15 per cent. of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Relevant Period; and

(c) such cost savings or synergies will cease to be included in any calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as Pro Forma Adjustments once they are (or at any time have proved to not to be capable of being) realised or to the extent that they have not been realised within the 12 month period from the date of the relevant Permitted Acquisition.

24.2 Calculation

(a) For the purposes of this Clause 24 in respect of any Relevant Period, the exchange rates for determination of Consolidated Net Indebtedness for that Relevant Period shall be (i) with respect to Indebtedness for which the Restricted Group has entered into cross currency swaps, the rate at which such swap has been entered into and (ii) with respect to all other Indebtedness, the exchange rate used in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

(c) For the purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA under this Agreement for any period, if during such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) has made a Permitted Acquisition, the Company shall be permitted to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for the Relevant Period after giving effect to a Pro Forma Adjustment as if such Permitted Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period.

97

(d) In relation to the definitions set out in Clause 24.1 (Financial definitions) and all other related provisions of the Finance Documents (including this Clause 24.2):

(i) all calculations will be as determined in good faith by the chief financial officer or finance director of the Restricted Group (or such other person as is performing the functions of the chief financial officer or finance director), including in respect of savings and synergies;

(ii) all calculations in respect of synergies and savings (in each case actual or anticipated) may be made as though the full run-rate effect of such synergies and savings were realised on the first day of the relevant period, provided that such cost savings and synergies will cease to be included in any calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as Pro Forma Adjustments once they are (or at any time have proved to not be capable of being) realised or to the extent that they have not been realised within the 12 month period from the date of completion of the relevant Permitted Acquisition; and

(iii) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, any cost synergies and cost savings included on a pro forma basis must comply with the limits contained in the definition of “Pro Forma Adjustment”.

(e) In the event that:

(i) any Accounting Reference Date is adjusted by the Company for the sole purpose of avoiding an Accounting Reference Date falling on a day which is not a Business Day and/or to ensure that an Accounting Reference Date falls on a particular day of the week; or

(ii) there is any adjustment to a scheduled payment date to avoid payments becoming due on a day which is not a Business Day,

if that adjustment results in any amount being paid in a Relevant Period in which it would otherwise not have been paid, for the purpose of calculating any financial definition or ratio under the Finance Documents the Company may treat such amount as if it was paid in the Relevant Period in which it would have been paid save for any such adjustment.

(f) Unless a contrary indication appears, a reference to Consolidated EBITDA is to be construed as a reference to the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(g) In relation to any lease, concession, license of property or other arrangement (or guarantee thereof) which would be considered an operating lease (“Operational Leases”) under the Accounting Principles as applied in the Original Financial Statements (the “Original Accounting Principles”), to the extent such Operational Leases are subsequently treated as a finance lease or capital lease as a result of any change to the treatment of such leases or other arrangements under the Accounting Principles as opposed to operating leases, such obligations shall be, unless the Company elects otherwise, treated in accordance with the Original Accounting Principles.

(h) Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document, any Short-Term Shareholder Funding shall be excluded from cash or Cash Equivalents for the purposes of calculating Consolidated Net Indebtedness (for the avoidance of doubt, only so long as it constitutes Short-Term Shareholder Funding in accordance with the definition thereof).

25.15 Further assurance

(a) Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, each Obligor shall (and the Company shall procure that each member of the Restricted Group will) promptly do all such acts or execute all such documents (including assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, notices and instructions) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in favour of the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)):

111

Asset (the “Clean-Up Period”), if any matter or circumstance exists in respect of such Subsequent Target or Subsequent Target Asset which would constitute a breach of a representation, undertaking or any other term or condition or a Default or an Event of Default (a “Relevant Default”), that Relevant Default shall not constitute a breach of a representation, undertaking or any other term or condition or a Default or an Event of Default (as the case may be) and the Agent shall not be entitled to give any notice under Clause 26.12 (Acceleration) with respect to that Relevant Default until (if that Relevant Default is then continuing) the date immediately after the end of the Clean-Up Period, provided that such Relevant Default:

(a) is capable of being remedied within the Clean-Up Period and the Company is taking appropriate steps to remedy such breach or Event of Default;

(b) does not have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(c) was not procured or approved by the Company or any other member of the Group.

shall be deemed to constitute or result in a breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other term in the Finance Documents or a Default or an Event of Default.

27. CHANGES TO THE NOTEHOLDERS

27.1 Transfers by the Noteholders

Subject to this Clause 27 (Changes to the Noteholders) and to Clause 28 (Restriction on Debt Purchase Transactions), a Noteholder (the “Existing Noteholder”) may:

(a) transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations; or

(b) enter into a sub-participation in respect of any of its rights and obligations,

under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of subscribing for, purchasing or investing in notes, securities or other financial assets (the “New Noteholder”) provided that no Investor Affiliate may be a New Noteholder without the prior consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Noteholders).

112

27.2 Conditions of transfer

(a) An Existing Noteholder must obtain the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if requested following the Closing Date) before it may make a transfer or sub-participation in accordance with Clause 27 (Transfers by the Noteholders) unless the transfer or sub-participation is:

(i) to an Affiliate or Related Fund of the relevant Existing Noteholder; or

(ii) made at a time when a Material Event of Default is continuing,

provided that:

(A) in all cases (notwithstanding paragraphs (i) and (ii) above) in the case of a transfer or sub-participation to any of the following persons, the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion and never deemed granted) must be obtained:

(I) an Industry Competitor;

(II) a Loan to Own/Distressed Investor (unless a Material Event of Default is continuing); or

(III) any person that (to the extent the relevant Existing Noteholder and/or the Agent is aware) is (or would, upon becoming a Noteholder, be) a Defaulting Noteholder;

(B) in the case of a transfer or sub-participation of an Existing Noteholder’s Available Commitments under any Facility, the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion and never deemed granted) must be obtained; and

(C) in the case of a transfer or sub-participation to a transferee under paragraph (a)(i) above, the transferee or sub-participant (x) remains an Affiliate or Related Fund of the Existing Noteholder (in the case of a transfer or sub-participation pursuant to paragraph (a)(i)), or (y) such transferee or sub-participant transfers promptly (and in any event within three Business Days of ceasing to satisfy either clause (x)) all of its rights and obligations under any Finance Document to the Existing Noteholder in accordance with Clause 27.5 (Procedure for transfer) but without reference to the conditions set out in paragraph (a) above.

(b) Where this Clause 27 provides that the Company’s prior written consent is required for a transfer or sub-participation (a “Transfer Request”), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) if the Company fails to respond to a Transfer Request given under paragraph (a) above (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Request given under sub-paragraph (A) or (B) of the proviso to paragraph (a) above) (the “Initial Transfer Request”) by the date falling 10 Business Days after receipt thereof by the Company (which shall require, for this purpose, delivery of a copy to legal@sohohouse.com) (such date, the “Initial Transfer Request Expiry Date”), the relevant Noteholder shall be entitled to, during the period starting on the Initial Transfer Request Expiry Date and ending on the date falling five Business Days thereafter, deliver to the Company a second request in respect of the same transfer and on the same terms (the “Second Transfer Request”).

113

If the Company fails to respond to the Second Transfer Request within five Business Days of receipt thereof by the Company (which shall require, for this purpose, delivery of a copy to legal@sohohouse.com), the relevant consent requested therein shall be deemed granted strictly on the terms of the Second Transfer Request; and

(ii) the Company shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a Transfer Request if the Company has, acting reasonably and in good faith, requested further information in connection with the relevant transfer or sub-participation, in which case paragraph (i) above shall cease to apply to the relevant Transfer Request and the relevant Existing Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to the Company together with a revised Transfer Request (which transfer request shall, for the purpose of paragraph (i) above, be deemed to be an Initial Transfer Request).

(c) In the event a Noteholder enters into a transfer or sub-participation without complying with the requirements of paragraph (a) above, that transfer or sub-participation shall not be effective and neither its Commitments and/or holdings (but only to the extent of such transfer) nor those of any relevant purported transferee shall be included for the purpose of calculating whether a certain percentage of Total Commitments or Notes has been obtained to approve an amendment, waiver or similar under any of the Finance Documents.

(d) The amount of the Existing Noteholder’s Commitment transferred must be a minimum of £5,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) unless the transfer is:

(i) to another Noteholder or an Affiliate of a Noteholder;

(ii) if the Existing Noteholder is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Noteholder;

(iii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; or

(iv) of all of the relevant Existing Noteholder’s Commitment (and not part thereof).

(e) For the purposes of paragraph (d) above, in the case of concurrent transfers, releases and accessions by an Existing Noteholder to two or more Related Funds or Affiliates, the Commitments of these Related Funds and Affiliates shall be aggregated.

(f) A transfer will only be effective if the New Noteholder enters into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement and if the procedure set out in Clause 27.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

(g) Any transfer by an Existing Noteholder to a New Noteholder shall only be effective if it transfers the Existing Noteholder’s share of the relevant Facility pro rata against the Existing Noteholder’s Available Commitment and holding of Notes in Notes Subscriptions under that Facility.

(h) If:

(i) a Noteholder transfers or sub-participates 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 transfer, sub-participation or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Noteholder or Noteholder acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 16 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 17 (Increased costs),

114

then the New Noteholder or Noteholder acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under the relevant Clause to the same extent as the Existing Noteholder or Noteholder acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the transfer, sub-participation or change had not occurred. This paragraph (i) shall not apply in relation to Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up), to a Treaty Noteholder that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph 16.2(h)(ii)(A) of Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made an Issuer DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Noteholder in accordance with its obligations under paragraphs (h) and (i) Clause 16.2 (Tax gross-up).

(i) Each New Noteholder, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Noteholder or Noteholders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Noteholder would have been had it remained a Noteholder.

27.3 Transfer fee

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees, the New Noteholder shall, on the date upon which a transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £3,500 (unless such New Noteholder is an Affiliate or Related Fund of the Existing Noteholder).

27.4 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Noteholders

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

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

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii) the performance and observance by any member of the Group 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 Noteholder confirms to the Existing Noteholder, the other Finance Parties and the Secured 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 this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Noteholder or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security; and

115

(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.

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

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Noteholder of any of the rights and obligations transferred under this Clause 27; or

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

27.5 Procedure for transfer

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (Conditions of transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Noteholder and the New Noteholder and the Agent makes a corresponding entry in the Notes Register pursuant to Clause 7 (Notes Register). Where the Existing Noteholder holds a Notes Certificate and not all the Notes are the subject of the transfer, upon request of the Existing Noteholder and subject to Clause 8 (Notes Certificates), a new Notes Certificate will be issued by the Agent for the balance of the existing Notes held by the Existing Noteholder. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and make such corresponding entry in the Notes Register.

(b) The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Noteholder and the New Noteholder and make such corresponding entry in the Notes Register once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Noteholder.

(c) Subject to Clause 27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Noteholder seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors and the Existing Noteholder shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Noteholder 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 or other member of the Group and the New Noteholder have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Noteholder;

(iii) the Agent, the Original Notes Purchasers, the Collateral Agent, the New Noteholder and the other Noteholders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Noteholder

116

been an Original Notes Purchaser with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Original Notes Purchasers, the Collateral Agent, the other Noteholders and the Existing Noteholder shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

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

27.6 Copy of Transfer Certificate, Increase Confirmation to Company

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Increase Confirmation, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation.

27.7 Sub-participation

(a) At any time, the prior written consent of the Company is required for any sub- participation by a Noteholder unless:

(i) the proposed sub-participation is permitted by Clause 27.2 (Conditions of transfer) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by reason of a consent granted or deemed granted by the Company in accordance with the terms of that Clause);

(ii) the Noteholder remains liable under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents in relation to those obligations;

(iii) such Noteholder retains exclusive control over all rights and obligations in relation to the Notes and Commitments that are the subject of the relevant agreement or arrangement, including all voting rights (for the avoidance of doubt, free of any agreement or understanding pursuant to which it is required to or will consult with any other person in relation to the exercise of any such rights and/or obligations), unless the proposed sub-participant is a person to whom the relevant rights and obligations could have been transferred in accordance with the terms of this Clause 27 and, unless made (x) at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) to an Affiliate or a Related Fund of such Noteholder, seven Business Days prior to entering into the relevant agreement or arrangement the relevant Noteholder provides the Company with full details of that proposed sub-participant and any voting, consultation or other rights to be granted to the sub-participant;

(iv) the relationship between the Noteholder and the proposed sub-participant is that of a contractual debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Noteholder or an Obligor);

(v) the proposed sub-participant will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents or in any monies received by the relevant Noteholder under or in relation to this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents (in its capacity as sub-participant under that arrangement); and

(vi) the proposed sub-participant will under no circumstances: (A) be subrogated to, or be substituted in respect of, the relevant Noteholder’s claims under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents; or (B) otherwise have any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Obligors under or in relation to this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents (in its capacity as sub-participant under that arrangement).

117

(b) A Noteholder shall promptly notify the Company of any sub-participation entered into by it, unless the proposed sub-participant is an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Noteholder.

(c) Each Noteholder that sells a sub-participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of any Issuer, shall maintain a register for the recording of the name and address of each sub-participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each sub-participant’s interest in the Commitments or obligations owing to such sub- participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Noteholder shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any sub-participant or any information relating to a sub-participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or any other of its obligations) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Noteholder maintaining such Participant Register shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the sub-participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

27.8 Security over Noteholders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Noteholders under this Clause 27, each Noteholder may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security 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 Noteholder including, without limitation:

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

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

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

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

(ii) require any payments to be made by an Obligor or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Noteholder under the Finance Documents.

27.9 Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Noteholders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Noteholders and New Noteholders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 27.5 (Procedure for transfer) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(a) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant holding which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Noteholder up to but excluding the Transfer Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Noteholder (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six (6) Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six (6) Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

118

(b) the rights transferred by the Existing Noteholder will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(i) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Noteholder; and

(ii) the amount payable to the New Noteholder on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 27.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

28. RESTRICTION ON DEBT PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

28.1 Prohibition on Debt Purchase Transactions by the Group

The Company shall not, and shall procure that each other member of the Group shall not, enter into any Debt Purchase Transaction or beneficially own all or any part of the share capital of a company that is a Noteholder or a party to a Debt Purchase Transaction of the type referred to in paragraphs (b) or (c) of the definition of Debt Purchase Transaction.

28.2 Disenfranchisement on Debt Purchase Transactions entered into by Investor Affiliates

(a) For so long as an Investor Affiliate (i) beneficially owns a Commitment or (ii) has entered into a sub-participation agreement relating to a Commitment or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially similar economic effect and such agreement or arrangement has not been terminated:

(i) in ascertaining the Majority Noteholders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments or the agreement of any specified group of Noteholders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents such Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; and

(ii) such Investor Affiliate or the person with whom it has entered into such sub- participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Noteholder for the purpose of paragraph (i) above (unless in the case of a person not being an Investor Affiliate it is a Noteholder by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Commitment).

(b) Each Noteholder shall, unless such Debt Purchase Transaction is a transfer, promptly notify the Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction (a “Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction”), such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part 1 of Schedule 13 (Form of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice).

(c) A Noteholder shall promptly notify the Agent if a Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction to which it is a party:

(i) is terminated; or

(ii) ceases to be with an Investor Affiliate,

119

such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule 13 (Form of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice).

(d) Each Investor Affiliate that is a Noteholder agrees that:

(i) in relation to any meeting or conference call to which all the Noteholders are invited to attend or participate, it shall not attend or participate in the same if so requested by the Agent or, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same;

(ii) in its capacity as Noteholder, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not be entitled to receive any report or other document prepared at the behest of, or on the instructions of, the Agent or one or more of the Noteholders; and

(iii) to the extent and for so long as its Commitment, participation in any loan or sub-participation or other agreement or arrangement relating to a Commitment, including, without limitation, following a Debt Purchase Transaction, could result in the subordination of claims of any other Noteholder under the Notes pursuant to any law regarding the subordination of shareholder loans or similar claims or prejudice or adversely affect the Transaction Security or guarantee and indemnity pursuant to Clause 21 (Guarantee and Indemnity) (or their enforceability) in any way, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder shall not be a secured or guaranteed party (however described) under and for the purposes of any Finance Document and no amount owing to it under any Finance Document shall be secured by the Transaction Security Documents (unless the subordination ceases to apply or subsequently or at the same time applies to the Noteholders generally (other than where such subordination of the Noteholders generally is caused by a Debt Purchase Transaction by a Subordinated Noteholder)).

28.3 Investor Affiliates’ notification to other Noteholders of Debt Purchase Transactions

Any Investor Affiliate which is or becomes a Noteholder and which enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction as a purchaser or a participant shall, by 5.00 pm on the Business Day following the day on which it entered into that Debt Purchase Transaction, notify the Agent of the extent of the Commitment(s) or amount outstanding to which that Debt Purchase Transaction relates. The Agent shall promptly disclose such information to the Noteholders.

29. CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

29.1 Assignment and transfers by Obligors

No Obligor or any other member of the Group may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

29.2 Additional Issuers

(iii) the Agent notifies the Company and the Noteholders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) the Company or a Noteholder reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Company or that Noteholder, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

(a) After consultation with the Company, the Majority Noteholders may, by giving 30 days’ notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Noteholders) replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).

(b) The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Noteholders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or

(ii) any other information if the disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

30.14 Relationship with the Noteholders

(a) The Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Noteholder at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Noteholder acting through its Facility Office:

130

(ii) entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 32.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

32.4 Reversal of redistribution

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

(a) each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and

(b) as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

32.5 Exceptions

(a) This Clause 32:

(i) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 32, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor; and

(ii) is subject to the provisions of Clause 33.12 (Subordinated Noteholders).

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

(i) it notified the other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

33. PAYMENT MECHANICS

33.1 Payments to the Agent

(a) On each date on which an Obligor or a Noteholder is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Noteholder shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

133

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

33.2 Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clauses 33.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and 33.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Noteholder, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to EUR, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London as specified by that Party).

33.3 Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 34 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

33.4 Clawback

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the 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. However, it may do so if it wishes.

(b) If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party who should have made that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) available to the Agent or, if that Party fails to do so, the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) has been made available by the Agent, shall on demand, pay such amount to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

33.5 Impaired Agent

(a) If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Noteholder which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 33.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acceptable Bank” and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Noteholder making the payment (the “Paying Party”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the “Recipient Party” or “Recipient Parties”). In each case, such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

134

(b) All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.

(c) A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 33.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

(d) Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 30.12 (Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (e) below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 33.2 (Distributions by the Agent).

(e) A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:

(i) that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and

(ii) that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party,

give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.

33.6 Partial payments

(a) If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Agent shall (subject to Clause 33.12 (Subordinated Noteholders)), apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under those Finance Documents in the following order:

(i) first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent under those Finance Documents;

(iii) thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under those Finance Documents;

(iv) fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; and

(v) fifth, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

(b) The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Noteholders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(iii) to (a)(v) above.

(c) Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

(b) A redemption or repayment of a Note or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Note or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Notes or Unpaid Sum is denominated, pursuant to this Agreement, on its due date.

(c) Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated, pursuant to this Agreement, when that interest accrued.

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

(e) Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency.

33.10 Change of currency

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

(b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

(d) any such changes agreed upon by the Agent and the Company shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 39 (Amendments and Waivers);

(e) the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 33.11; and

(f) the Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above.

33.12 Subordinated Noteholders

(a) In Clause 33.12:

“Distributed Amount” means the amount distributed or paid to the Finance Parties or to the Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties (or any of them) by the person responsible for the distribution of the assets (including any payments) of an Obligor which is insolvent or otherwise subject to insolvency or similar proceedings.

“Maximum Amount” means the amount which would, but for any reduction or prohibition of payment or other distribution due to the relationship between any Subordinated Noteholder and an Obligor, have been distributed or distributable to the Finance Parties or to the Agent on behalf of the relevant Finance Parties (or any of them).

“Shortfall Amount” means the amount by which the Maximum Amount exceeds the Distributed Amount.

“Subordinated Noteholder” means any Noteholder which has a relationship with an Obligor which leads to a reduction or prohibition of payment (including payments in form of an insolvency quota) or other distribution (including the proceeds from the enforcement of any Transaction Security) by that Obligor (including any administrator or insolvency administrator) to that Noteholder, including, without limitation, by reason of that Noteholder:

137

(i) being a member of the Group, an Initial Investor, an Investor Affiliate or Affiliate of any of those mentioned before; or

(ii) having acquired (directly or indirectly) any Commitment, participation in any Note and/or any other participation rights (including by way of sub- participation) in any of the Notes and/or any other rights and obligations under the Finance Documents from a member of the Group, an Initial Investor, an Investor Affiliate or an Affiliate of any of those mentioned before in accordance with Clause 27 (Changes to the Noteholders), or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) if the Distributed Amount is less than the Maximum Amount, then, upon application of the Distributed Amount (or any part thereof) pursuant to Clause

33.6 (Partial payments) towards the discharge of the obligations of an Obligor under the Finance Documents (including principal, interest, fees and commissions), the amount which would otherwise be required to be applied towards any such obligations under the Finance Documents owed to a Subordinated Noteholder shall be reduced by the Shortfall Amount attributable to that Subordinated Noteholder and such amount shall in addition be applied towards the discharge of the obligations (including principal, interest, fees, commission) towards the other Finance Parties pro rata in accordance with Clause 33.6 (Partial payments);

(ii) any risk of a shortfall between the Maximum Amount and the Distributed Amount (whether arising from the prohibition and/or reduction of payments to the Subordinated Noteholders and/or from any contestation (Anfechtung) under applicable law) shall for all purposes of the Finance Documents be borne by the relevant Subordinated Noteholders; and

(iii) a Subordinated Noteholder shall not have the benefit, but only the obligations, of any sharing provisions under the Finance Documents, including under Clause 32 (Sharing among the Finance Parties), and shall not be entitled to receive any payment, and the Agent shall not be required to make any payment to any Subordinated Noteholder under or in connection with the Finance Documents in respect of the Shortfall Amount.

(c) Each Subordinated Noteholder (as defined in Clause 33.12 (Subordinated Noteholders)) agrees that to the extent and for so long as its Commitment, participation in any loan or sub-participation or other agreement or arrangement relating to a Commitment, including, without limitation, following a Debt Purchase Transaction, could result in the subordination of claims of any other Noteholder under the Notes pursuant to any law regarding the subordination of shareholder loans or similar claims or prejudice or adversely affect the Transaction Security or guarantee and indemnity pursuant to Clause 21 (Guarantee and Indemnity) (or their enforceability) in any way, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder shall not be a secured or guaranteed party (however described) under and for the purposes of any Finance Document and no amount owing to it under any Finance Document shall be secured by the Transaction Security Documents (unless the subordination ceases to apply or subsequently or at the same time applies to the Noteholders generally (other than where such subordination of the Noteholders generally is caused by a Debt Purchase Transaction by a Subordinated Noteholder)).

138

34. SET-OFF

At any time whilst an Event of Default is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

then the Company may, on not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Noteholder, replace such Noteholder by requiring such Noteholder to (and such Noteholder shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 (Changes to the Noteholders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to a Noteholder or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a “Replacement Noteholder”) selected by the Company (excluding a member of the Group and, if such entity is an Investor Affiliate, provided that such transfer shall be in accordance with Clause 28 (Restriction on Debt Purchase

145

Transactions)) and which is acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably), which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Noteholder (including the assumption of the transferring Noteholder’s Notes on the same basis as the transferring Noteholder) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Noteholder’s Notes and all accrued interest and/or other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

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

(ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of all the Noteholders; and

(iii) the Super Majority Noteholders have consented to or agreed to such waiver or amendment,

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

39.5 Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Noteholders

(a) For so long as a Defaulting Noteholder has any Available Commitment, in ascertaining the Majority Noteholders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents, that Defaulting Noteholder’s Commitments will be reduced by the amount of its Available Commitments.

(iii) require such Noteholder to (and such Noteholder shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 (Changes to the Noteholders) all (and not part only) of its Notes and its other rights and obligations in respect of the Facilities,

to a Noteholder or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (which Replacement Noteholder may not be a member of the Group or (except with Majority Noteholder consent) an Investor Affiliate) selected by the Company and which (unless the Agent is an Impaired Agent) is acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably), which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Noteholder (including the assumption of the transferring Noteholder’s Notes or unfunded Commitments (as the case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Noteholder) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Noteholder’s Notes and all accrued interest and/or other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

SCHEDULE 11

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1.1 The Company will use reasonable endeavours to assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues to the relevant Guarantor Company (as defined below).

1.2 The guarantees and security to be provided will be given in accordance with certain Agreed Security Principles. The Company and the Finance Parties have agreed and acknowledged that their rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (together, the “Secured Documents”) in respect of (i) the giving or taking of guarantees, (ii) the giving and taking of security and (iii) all of the rights and obligations associated with such giving or taking of guarantees and security, shall be subject to and limited by these Agreed Security Principles.

1.3 The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees and security from all Material Companies and other members of the Group required to give guarantees and security (the “Guarantor Companies”) in every jurisdiction in which Guarantor Companies are or may in the future be located. In particular:

(a) general statutory limitations, financial assistance, capital maintenance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, retention of title claims and similar principles may limit the ability of a Guarantor Company to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited by an amount or otherwise (including any legal fees, registration fees, stamp duty taxes and any other fees or related costs). The Company shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such limitation to the extent reasonably practicable. If, following the reasonable endeavours of the Company to overcome such limitations any such limit continues to apply, the guarantees and security provided will be limited to the maximum amount which the relevant member of the Group may provide having regard to applicable law (including any jurisprudence) and otherwise so as to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration tax or other applicable fees, taxes and duties (taking into consideration the proportionate benefit to the Finance Parties);

(b) the giving of a guarantee, the granting and the terms of security or the perfection of the security granted will not be required to the extent it would incur any cost (including any legal fees, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, stamp duty or other duties, taxes and any other fees or related costs) to the Group which are disproportionate to the benefit for the Finance Parties of obtaining such guarantees or security;

(c) where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only;

(d) it is expressly acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions it may be either impossible or impractical (taking into consideration the proportionate benefit to the Finance Parties)to grant guarantees or create security over certain categories of assets, in which event such guarantees will not be granted and security will not be taken over such assets provided that the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome or mitigate any such obstacle;

(e) unless granted under a global security document governed by the law of the jurisdiction of a Guarantor Company or under English law all security (other than share security over its Subsidiaries) shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Guarantor Company;

11

(f) any asset subject to a legal requirement, contract, lease, licence, instrument, regulatory constraint (including any agreement with any government or regulatory body) or other third party arrangement, which may prevent or condition the asset from being charged, secured or being subject to the applicable security document (including requiring a consent of any third party, supervisory board or works council (or equivalent)) and any asset which, if subject to the applicable security document, would give a third party the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations with respect to any member of the Group in respect of the asset or require the relevant Guarantor Company to take any action materially adverse to the interests of the Group or any member thereof, in each case will be excluded from a guarantee or security document, provided that reasonable endeavours (exercised for a specified period of time which shall be no longer than 20 Business Days) to obtain consent to charging any asset (where otherwise prohibited) shall be used by the Group if the Security Agent specifies prior to the date of the security or accession document that the asset is material and the Obligors’ Agent is satisfied that such endeavours will not involve placing relationships with third parties in jeopardy;

(g) Guarantor Companies will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant Guarantor Company or if the same would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal prohibition or would reasonably be expected to result in a risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any director or other officer of such Guarantor Company or of any member of the Group provided that the relevant Group member shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;

(h) no perfection action will be required in a jurisdiction where the relevant Guarantor Company is not located;

(i) perfection of security, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Secured Documents therefor or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Secured Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection;

(j) the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security or the perfection of the security granted and the terms of the security shall not be required if it would have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Guarantor Company to conduct its operations and business (including its tax arrangements) in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted or not prohibited by the Secured Documents;

(k) pledges over shares or other interests or participations in joint ventures or the assets owned by such joint ventures or joint venture vehicles will not be required; and

(l) guarantee limitations may mean that access to the assets of a Guarantor Company is limited, in which case, any asset security granted by that Guarantor Company shall be limited to the maximum recoverable amount under the guarantee.

1.4 Reasonable legal fees, disbursements, registration costs, taxes, notary fees and other costs and expenses related to the guarantees and security incurred by legal counsel to the Company and by legal counsel to the Agent or Collateral Agent will be paid (or payment thereof procured) by the Company.

12

2. GUARANTORS AND SECURITY

2.1 Subject to the due execution of all relevant Transaction Security Documents, completion of relevant perfection formalities within statutorily prescribed time limits, payment of all registration fees and documentary taxes, any other rights arising by operation of law, obtaining any foreign legal opinions and subject to any qualifications which may be set out in the Secured Documents and any relevant legal opinion obtained and subject to the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles, it is agreed that each guarantee and security will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and each guarantee and, without prejudice to the principles set forth in paragraph 1.2 above, security will be for all liabilities of the Obligors under the Secured Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles and/or any applicable law in each relevant jurisdiction.

2.2 To the extent possible under the relevant applicable law, all security shall consist of a single set of security interests and shall be given in favour of the Collateral Agent and not the Finance Parties individually. “Parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary or convenient to ensure that security is given in favour of the Collateral Agent and not the Finance Parties individually. Such provisions will be contained in the Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual security documents (unless and to the extent required under the applicable local laws). To the extent possible under the relevant applicable law, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any Noteholder transfers any of its Notes to a new Noteholder.

2.3 No member of the Group or the Company shall be required to pay the cost of any re-execution, notarisation, acknowledgment, re-registration, amendment or related perfection requirement for any guarantee or security or any related cost or fee, and no action shall be required to be taken by any member of the Group or the Company in relation thereto, on any transfer by any Finance Party.

2.4 Subject to paragraph 7.4 below, except for customary registrations with Companies House and H.M. Land Registry (for Guarantor Companies incorporated in England and Wales), customary registrations with the SIR (for security governed by the laws of Jersey) or the filing of customary “all asset” UCC-1 financing statements (for Guarantor Companies incorporated in the United States), no security shall be required to be registered until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event.

3. TERMS OF GUARANTEES AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS

3.1 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any guarantee or security taken as part of this transaction:

(a) the security shall be first ranking, to the extent possible.

(b) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no claims will be made under guarantees, and security will not be enforceable, until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unremedied or unwaived) and notice has been served under the “acceleration” provisions of the relevant Secured Document (an “Enforcement Event”),

(c) no notices of pledges or security interests will be required unless, (i) subject to paragraph (d) below, under the law applicable to such security, such notice is required to be delivered to perfect the security or (ii) at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request following an Event of Default which is continuing;

(d) notification of receivables security to debtors (not being members of the Group) will only be given if an Enforcement Event has occurred;

13

(e) the provisions of each security document will not be unduly burdensome on the Guarantor Company or interfere with the operation of its business (including its tax arrangements) in the ordinary course and will be limited to those required to create, perfect or maintain effective security and shall not impose commercial obligations;

(f) information, such as lists of assets, will be provided only if and to the extent required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the relevant security interests and, unless required to be provided by local law more frequently, will be provided at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request following an Enforcement Event;

(g) the security documents will, where possible and practical (but subject to the other provisions set out in this Schedule and consistent with market practice in the relevant jurisdiction), automatically create security over future assets of the same type as those already secured;

(h) prior to an Enforcement Event, the security documents shall operate only to create security and not to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly (i) they will not contain representations or undertakings unless these are required for the creation or perfection or protection of the security and (ii) they shall not repeat or extend any of the clauses set out in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Secured Document, such as those relating to notices, insurance, further assurance, cost and expenses, indemnities, tax gross up, distribution of proceeds and release of security, unless and to the extent required by applicable law or market standard in the relevant jurisdiction for the creation or perfection or protection of security;

(i) in respect of share pledges, until an Enforcement Event, the pledgors shall be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares pledged by them and shall be permitted to receive and retain dividends on pledged shares/pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent permitted under any Secured Document with the proceeds to be available to the Group;

(j) the Collateral Agent shall only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to it under the security documents following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event or, prior to an Enforcement Event if the relevant Guarantor Company has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation (and compliance with the same has not been remedied within any applicable grace period or waived);

(k) prior to an Enforcement Event, the Collateral Agent shall not have any right to block any funds being transferred between or by Group members;

(l) the security documents should not operate or be construed so as to prohibit or prevent transactions, matters or steps which are permitted or not prohibited under the Secured Documents or to require additional consents or authorisations and the Collateral Agent shall, at the cost of the relevant Guarantor Company, promptly enter into such documentation and/or take such other action as is required by the relevant Guarantor Company (acting reasonably) in order to facilitate any such transaction, matter or other step, including, but not limited to, by way of executing any confirmation, consent to dealing, release or other similar or equivalent document, or returning any physical collateral;

(m) without prejudice to the other terms of the Finance Documents, where an entity is being disposed of as permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement (including a disposal permitted by requisite consent) all guarantees by that entity in favour of the Finance Parties and others and all security in favour of the Finance Parties and others over the shares of that entity and the assets owned by that entity shall be released immediately before completion of such disposal;

14

(n) security over any asset disposed of in compliance with this Agreement, any guarantee granted by a member of the Group disposed of in compliance with this Agreement and any security over the assets of any such member of the Group shall all be released by the Collateral Agent no later than completion of such disposal;

(o) supplemental pledges shall be entered into where required by local law to create or perfect security; and

(p) the security documents will not accrue interest on any amount in respect of which interest is accruing under this Agreement.

4. BANK ACCOUNTS

4.1 If a Guarantor Company grants security over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with those accounts in the ordinary course of its business until an Enforcement Event.

4.2 If required by local law to create or perfect the security, notice of the security will be served on the account bank within 5 Business Days of the security being granted and the Guarantor Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice with 20 Business Days of service. If the Guarantor Company has used its reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period. Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent the Guarantor Company from using a bank account in the course of its business no notice of security shall be served until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event.

4.3 Any security over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior security interests (including but not limited to rights of set-off) in favour of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. The notice of security may request these are waived by the account bank but the Guarantor Company shall not be required to change its banking arrangements if these security interests are not waived or only partially waived.

4.4 No Security shall be required over any bank accounts that are segregated deposit accounts constituting payroll accounts, tax accounts and trust accounts, or until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, any deposit, securities and bank accounts of any U.S. Obligors, with a total amount on deposit at any one time of less than £500,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies) in the aggregate. For the avoidance of doubt, no deposit account control agreements or similar agreements shall be required.

If the Guarantor Company has used its reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period.

15

6.2 No loss payee or other endorsement shall be made on the insurance policy, and the Guarantor Company shall not be requested to hand over to the Collateral Agent the original of the insurance policy unless and to the extent required under local law to create or perfect the security.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 No security shall be required to be granted (in addition to any security agreed to be granted over material intellectual property as a condition precedent to the initial subscription for Notes) over any intellectual property which is determined by the Company (acting reasonably and in good faith) not to be material to the business of the relevant Guarantor Company or the Group taken as a whole.

7.2 If a Guarantor Company grants security over its intellectual property it shall be free to deal with those assets in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise as permitted under the Secured Documents (including, without limitation, allowing its intellectual property to lapse if no longer material or required as part of its business) until an Enforcement Event.

7.3 No security shall be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of any relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be prepared or given to any third party from whom intellectual property is licensed until an Enforcement Event.

7.4 If required for its validity, perfection or enforceability under local law, following an Enforcement Event, security over material intellectual property will be registered under the law of that security document or at a relevant supra–national registry (such as the EU or the Organisation Mondiale de la Propriété Intellectuelle), subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.

8. INTERCOMPANY RECEIVABLES

8.1 If a Guarantor Company grants security over its intercompany receivables it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise as permitted under the Secured Documents until an Enforcement Event.

8.2 If required by local law to perfect the security, notice of the security will be served on the relevant lender and/or the borrower within 30 Business Days of the security being granted and the Guarantor Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 30 Business Days of service. If the Guarantor Company has used its reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 30 Business Day period.

8.3 Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent the Guarantor Company from dealing with an intercompany receivable in the course of its business, no notice of security shall be served until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event.

8.4 No lists of intercompany receivables shall be required to be provided or updated.

9. TRADE RECEIVABLES

9.3 No notice of security may be served until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event.

9.4 No security will be granted over any trade receivables which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant contract or are subject to any permitted non-recourse factoring arrangement.

9.6 No security shall be required to be granted over or in respect of receivables in respect of any school fees or similar fees payable by or in respect of students at any school or college owned or operated by any member of the Group.

10. SHARES

10.1 A Guarantor Company may grant a charge over or in the shares in other Guarantor Companies.

10.2 The relevant security document will be governed by the laws of the Guarantor Company whose shares are being secured and not by the law of the country of the Guarantor Company granting the security.

10.3 Until an Enforcement Event, the charging Guarantor Company will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares charged by it and each company whose shares have been charged will be permitted to pay and the pledgors shall be permitted to retain dividends subject to and in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to security over shares in a German Guarantor Company only, the voting rights will remain with the grantor even after an Enforcement Event has occurred (but for the avoidance of doubt will be transferred with the shares to any purchaser or bidder in the course of the enforcement).

10.4 Where required by applicable law in order to create security over or in shares, the share certificate and a stock transfer form executed in blank will be provided to the Collateral Agent and where required by law the share certificate and/or shareholders register (as applicable) will be endorsed or written up and the endorsed share certificate and/or a copy of the written up register (as applicable) provided to the Collateral Agent.

10.5 Unless the restriction is required by law, the constitutional documents of the company whose shares have been charged will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares on perfection or enforcement of the security granted over them.

11. REAL ESTATE

11.4 Until an Enforcement Event there shall be no requirement to give any notice of security or charge to any lessee or register any security interest over any real property.

17

11.5 There will be no obligation to investigate title, provide surveys or conduct insurance, environmental or other diligence.

11.6 Subject to these Agreed Security Principles, a Guarantor Company providing security over its material real estate shall not be under any obligation to obtain any landlord consent required to grant security over its material real estate, nor to investigate the possibility thereof. The cost of granting any real estate security will not be required to exceed an amount that is reasonable and not disproportionate to the value of the real estate and the benefit of the relevant security to the Finance Parties. The amount secured by each security over material real estate may be restricted to an agreed level.

12. RELEASE OF SECURITY

Unless required by local law, the circumstances in which the security shall be released should not be dealt with in individual security documents but, if so required, shall, except to the extent required by local law, be the same as those set out in the Intercreditor Agreement.

13. ADDITIONAL SECTION 956 LIMITATIONS ON GUARANTEE AND SECURITY

1.3 The Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in paragraph 1.2.2 and paragraph 1.2.3 above if within 360 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) has entered into a binding agreement to apply such Net Proceeds and such Net Proceeds are actually applied within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period.

3.2.22 [Reserved].

3.3 The Company shall not incur, and shall not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the guarantees provided under this Agreement on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. The Company shall not incur, and shall not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is expressed to rank or ranks as to payment or security so that it is subordinated to any of the Super Senior Liabilities (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) but are senior to the Pari Passu Liabilities (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under this Agreement.

3.4 For purposes of determining compliance with this paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock), in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in paragraphs 3.2.1 to 3.2.21 (inclusive), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this paragraph 3. Additionally, all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness may later be reclassified as having been incurred under any sub-paragraph of paragraph 3.2 so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Indebtedness incurred from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by 3.2.3 and the Company will not be permitted to reclassify any portion of such Indebtedness thereafter.

3.5 The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortisation of original issue discount or liquidation preference, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph 3, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this paragraph 3 shall not

28

be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. For purposes of determining compliance with any pound-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Pound Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a different currency shall be utilised, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first drawn, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under a revolving credit facility; provided, however, that (i) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than pound sterling, and such refinancing would cause the applicable British pound sterling-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such pound sterling-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; (ii) such Indebtedness denominated in non-British pound sterling currency is subject to a Currency Exchange Protection Agreement with respect to British pound sterling, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in British pound sterling will be calculated so as to take account of the effects of such Currency Exchange Protection Agreement; and (iii) the Pound Equivalent of the principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Agreement shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of this Agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the Pound Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced determined on the date such Indebtedness was originally incurred, except to the extent that:

3.5.1 such Pound Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Exchange Protection Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence; and

3.5.2 the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the Pound Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such refinancing Indebtedness is being incurred.

3.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock), the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock) shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

3.7 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

3.7.1 the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

3.7.2 the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

3.7.3 in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

8.1 The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or Person that becomes a Subsidiary through merger amalgamation or consolidation or Investment therein,) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default and the Subsidiary meets the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

8.2 If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under paragraph 2 (Restricted Payments) above or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

8.3 Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted under paragraph 2 (Restricted Payments) above.

8.4 If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock) above the Company will be in default of such paragraph.

8.5 The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under paragraph 3 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock) above calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
