2.5 Nature of a Finance Party’s rights and obligations

(a) The obligations of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure of a Finance Party to carry out those obligations does not relieve any other Party of its obligations under the Finance Documents.

(c) Each of the Obligors and each of the Finance Parties agrees that the Security Agent shall be the joint and several creditor (hoofdelijk crediteur) of each and every obligation of any Obligor towards each of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document, and that accordingly the Security Agent will have its own independent claim as creditor and not as

46

agent against each Obligor to demand performance by the relevant Obligor of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such obligation to either of the Security Agent or the relevant Finance Party shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against any Obligor (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Finance Documents), the Security Agent agrees with each other Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor with a Finance Party except with the prior written consent of the relevant Finance Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Security Document or the Security Deed as contemplated by the Finance Documents (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).

2.6 UPC Distribution as Obligors’ agent

Each Obligor:

(a) irrevocably authorises and instructs UPC Distribution to give and receive as agent on its behalf all notices (including Requests) and sign all documents in connection with the Finance Documents on its behalf (including but not limited to amendments and variations and execution of any new Finance Documents) and take such other action as may be necessary or desirable under or in connection with the Finance Documents; and

(b) confirms that it will be bound by any action taken by UPC Distribution under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

2.7 Actions of UPC Distribution as Obligors’ agent

The respective liabilities of each of the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be in any way affected by:

(a) any irregularity (or purported irregularity) in any act done by or any failure (or purported failure) by UPC Distribution;

(b) UPC Distribution acting (or purporting to act) in any respect outside any authority conferred upon it by any Obligor; or

(c) the failure (or purported failure) by or inability (or purported inability) of UPC Distribution to inform any Obligor of receipt by it of any notification under this Agreement or any other Finance Document.

That Additional Facility D Lender will become an Additional Facility D Lender on the date falling five Business Days after the Signing Date.

47

(b) If, at 9.30am (London time) on the Allocation Date, the sum of the Facility D Commitments of each Initial Facility D Lender set out opposite its name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Initial Facility D Lenders and Commitments) and the Facility D Commitments of each Additional Facility D Lender (as set out in each of the Additional Facility D Lender Accession Agreements) exceed €1,072,000,000, the Facility Agent shall, on the Allocation Date, reduce the Commitments of each Initial Facility D Lender and each Additional Facility D Lender pro rata so that the Total Facility D Commitments are €1,072,000,000 provided that in no circumstances shall:

(i) the Facility D Commitments of any Initial Facility D Lender exceed the amount set out opposite its name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Facility D Commitments);

(ii) the Facility D Commitment of any Additional Facility D Lender exceed the amount set out in the relevant Additional Facility D Lender Accession Agreement.

(c) Promptly after the allocation in accordance with Clause 2.8(c) above, the Facility Agent shall amend this Agreement by completing Part 3 of Schedule 1 (Facility D Commitments) to set out the Facility D Commitments of each Facility D Lender as reduced in accordance with this Clause.

(d) Each Additional Facility D Lender shall participate in each Facility D Advance in accordance with Clause 5.4 (Participations in Advances).

(e) The execution by UPC Distribution of an Additional Facility D Lender Accession Agreement constitutes confirmation by each Guarantor that its obligations under Clause 14 (Guarantee) shall continue unaffected except that those obligations shall be owed to each Finance Party including the relevant Additional Facility D Lender.

(i) a Finance Party:

(A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income or net profits received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

(i) interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or oblige any Finance Party to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of any payment of Tax in priority to any other

68

credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it, except that the Finance Party’s sole reason (acting in good faith) for not claiming or for deferring such credit, relief, remission or repayment shall not be its obligation to make a payment under this Clause 10.4; or

(ii) oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its Tax or other affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

10.5  U.S. Taxes

A US Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Tax gross-up) in respect of United States Taxes (including, without limitation, federal, state, local or other income Taxes), branch profits or franchise Taxes with respect to a sum payable by it pursuant to this Agreement to a Lender if on the date such Lender becomes a Party to this Agreement or has designated a new Facility Office either:

(a) in the case of a Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender has not provided the Borrower with two accurate and complete original signed copies of (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and claiming a complete exemption from withholding under an income tax treaty (or successor form) or (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying, in each case, to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding with respect to all amounts payable pursuant to the Finance Documents;

11.1  Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 11.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by noon on the Rate Fixing Day, the applicable LIBOR or EURIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

11.2  Market disruption

(iii) the Mandatory Cost.

(b) In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means:

70

(b) the use of US Dollars might contravene any law or regulation,

the Facility Agent shall give notice to UPC Distribution and to the Lenders to that effect before 11.00 a.m. on that day. In this event:

(B) in the definitions of “LIBOR” or, as applicable, “EURIBOR”, (insofar as it applies to that Advance) in Clause 1.1 (Definitions):

I. there shall be substituted for the time “11.00 a.m.” the time “1.00 p.m.”; and

(b) Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

12.3  Exceptions

(a) Clause 12.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

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

(ii) compensated for by Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 10.3(b) (Tax indemnity) applied);

(iii) compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or

(iv) attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or any of its Holding Companies of any law or regulation.

13.2  Mitigation

(a) Each Finance Party shall, in consultation with UPC Distribution, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount (including without limitation, VAT) becoming payable under, or cancelled pursuant to, any of Clause 10 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities), Clause 12 (Increased Costs) or Clause 13.1 (Illegality) including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office.

17.3  Calculations

For the purposes of Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios), Senior Debt for any Ratio Period will be calculated on the basis of Senior Debt outstanding on the last day of that Ratio Period.

17.4  Cure provisions

(a) UPC Distribution may cure a breach of the financial ratios set out in Clause 17.2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) (Financial ratios) by procuring that additional equity is injected into the Borrower Group by one or more Restricted Persons and/or additional Subordinated Shareholder Loans are provided to the Borrower Group in an aggregate amount equal to:

(i) in the case of a breach of Clause 17.2(a) or (e) (Financial ratios), the amount which, if it had been deducted from Senior Debt or Total Debt (as applicable) for the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, would have avoided the breach; or

110

(ii) in the case of a breach of Clause 17.2(b), (c) or (d) (Financial ratios), the amount which, if it had been added to EBITDA for the Ratio Period in respect of which the breach arose, would have avoided the breach; or

(iii) in the case of a breach of more than one paragraph of Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios), the higher of the relevant amount referred to in (i) or (ii) above.

(b) A cure under paragraph (a) above will not be effective unless:

(i) the required amount of additional equity or the proceeds of Subordinated Shareholder Loans is received by the Borrower Group before delivery of the financial statements delivered under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) which show that Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios) has been breached; and

(ii) in the case of a cure of Clause 17.2(a) or (e) (Financial ratios), the proceeds of the relevant additional equity or Subordinated Shareholder Loans are applied in full in or towards repayment or prepayment of Facility A Advances (as defined in the Existing Facility Agreement) in accordance with Clause 7 (Cancellation and Prepayment) and, to the extent of any surplus after such repayment or prepayment, for the purposes of the Permitted Business.

(c) No cure may be made under this Clause 17.4:

(i) in respect of more than five Ratio Periods during the life of the Facilities; or

(ii) in respect of consecutive Ratio Periods.

(d) Where a cure is exercised under this Clause 17.4 in respect of a breach of Clause 17.2(b), (c) or (d) (Financial ratios) and the next Ratio Period ends approximately three months after the Ratio Period in respect of which the cure was made, EBITDA in respect of that next Ratio Period will be deemed, for the purposes of Clause 17.2(b), (c) and (d) (Financial ratios), to be increased by the amount determined under sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above in respect of the relevant cure. This deemed increase will not be treated as a separate cure.

17.5  Determinations

(a) Any amount outstanding in a currency other than euros is to be taken into account at its euro equivalent calculated at the rate used in the latest accounts delivered to the Facility Agent.

(b) All the terms used above are to be calculated in accordance with the GAAP on which the preparation of the Original Borrower Group Financial Statements was based.

(c) If there is a dispute as to any interpretation of or computation for Clause 17.1 (Financial definitions), the interpretation or computation of the auditors of UPC Distribution shall prevail.

(d) If UPC Distribution is obliged or chooses to prepare its financial statements on a different basis from the basis used in the preparation of the Original Borrower Group Financial Statements, such financial statements shall be accompanied by a statement (providing reasonable detail) from UPC Distribution either:

(i) confirming that the change(s) would have no effect on the operation of the ratios set out in Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios); or

111

(ii) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Facility Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders), if the change(s) would have such an effect, containing a reconciliation demonstrating the effect of the change(s) (and, for the purpose of calculating the ratios set out in Clause 17.2 (Financial ratios), such financial statements will be treated as though adjusted by that reconciliation so as to exclude the effect of the changes).

18.4  Misrepresentation

A representation or warranty made or repeated by any Obligor in or in connection with any Finance Document or in any certificate or statement delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor under or in connection with any Finance Document (other than the representation in Clause 15.25 (Dutch Banking Act) or 26.2(k) (Transfers by Lenders)) is incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed to have been made or repeated and, in the event that any representation or warranty is capable of remedy, the misrepresentation is not remedied within 28 days of the earlier of the date on which (i) such Obligor has become aware of the misrepresentation or (ii) the Facility Agent gives notice to UPC Distribution requiring the same to be remedied.

(b) Each Agent may require the receipt of security satisfactory to it whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any liability or loss which it will or may incur in taking any

119

proceedings or action arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document before it commences these proceedings or takes that action.

19.7 Exoneration

(a) Without limiting paragraph (b) below, neither Agent will be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(c) engage, pay for and rely on legal or other professional advisers selected by it (including those in the Facility Agent’s employment and those representing a Party other than the Facility Agent).

19.9 Credit approval and appraisal

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms that it:

(a) has made 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 either Agent in connection with any Finance Document; and

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

19.10  Information

(a) Each Agent shall promptly forward to the person concerned the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to that Agent by a Party for that person.

120

(ii) unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance with this Agreement, to request any certificates or other documents from any Obligor.

19.11  Each Agent individually

(b) Each of the Agents may:

(i) carry on any business with an Obligor or its related entities;

(ii) act as agent or trustee for, or in relation to any financing involving, an Obligor or its related entities; and

(iii) retain any profits or remuneration in connection with its activities under the Finance Documents, or in relation to any of the foregoing.

19.12  Indemnities

Each Lender shall indemnify each Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the relevant Agent (otherwise than by reason of the relevant Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the relevant Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document). Such indemnification shall be pro rata to its Commitments (and for the purposes of calculating this proportion, the amount of the Total Additional Facility Commitments and each Lender’s Additional Facility Commitments shall be converted to euros at the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of the relevant calculation).

19.13  Compliance

(a) Each Agent may refrain from doing anything which might, in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its reasonable opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation of any jurisdiction.

(b) Without limiting paragraph (a) above, neither Agent need disclose any information relating to any Obligor or any of its related entities if the disclosure might, in the opinion of the relevant Agent, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or any duty of secrecy or confidentiality or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.

19.14  Resignation of Agents

(a) Notwithstanding its irrevocable appointment (but subject to paragraphs (f) and (g) below), each Agent may resign by giving notice to the Lenders and UPC Distribution, in which case the relevant Agent may, following consultation with and with the consent of UPC

121

Distribution (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) forthwith appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent or, failing that, the Majority Lenders may with the consent of UPC Distribution (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a reputable and experienced bank as successor Agent. The resignation of the Security Agent is subject to compliance with clause 9.1 (Retirement of Security Agent) of the Security Deed.

(b) If the appointment of a successor Agent is to be made by the Majority Lenders but they have not, within 30 days after notice of resignation, appointed a successor Agent which accepts the appointment, the retiring Agent may, following consultation with and with the consent of UPC Distribution (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent.

(c) The resignation of the retiring Agent and the appointment of any successor Agent will both become effective only upon the successor Agent notifying all the Parties that it accepts the appointment. On giving the notification and receiving such approval, the successor Agent will succeed to the position of the retiring Facility Agent and the term Facility Agent or Security Agent (as the case may be) will mean the successor Facility Agent or Security Agent, respectively.

(d) The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, 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 the Agent under this Agreement.

(e) Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause 19 shall continue to benefit the retiring Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with the Finance Documents while it was the relevant Agent and, subject to paragraph (d) above, it shall have no further obligation under any Finance Document.

(f) The Majority Lenders may by notice to an Agent require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above. In this event, the relevant Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above but it shall not be entitled to appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent.

(g) UPC Distribution may, if it is unsatisfied (acting reasonably) with the performance by an Agent of its role as Agent, following a period of consultation with the relevant Agent of not less than 14 days, by notice to that Agent require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above. Such notice must specify the reasons for which UPC Distribution is seeking the Agent’s resignation, which must be based on reasonable grounds. In this event, the relevant Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above but it shall not be entitled to appoint one of its Affiliates as successor Agent.

19.15  Lenders

and shall forthwith notify the Facility Agent if any of these representations cease to be correct.

(c) Each Lender, on the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (if it is a requirement of Dutch law that such Lender is a Professional Market Party) represents to the Finance Parties and UPC Distribution that it is a Professional Market Party. Such Lender acknowledges that the Finance Parties and UPC Distribution have relied upon such representation.

19.16  Separate divisions

In acting as an Agent, the agency division of each of the Agents shall be treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information acquired at any time by either Agent otherwise than in the capacity of Agent through its agency division (whether as financial adviser to any member of the Borrower Group or otherwise) may be treated as confidential by the relevant Agent and shall not be deemed to be information possessed by the relevant Agent in its capacity as such. Each Finance Party acknowledges that each Agent may, now or in the future, be in possession of, or provided with, information relating to the Obligors which has not or will not be provided to the other Finance Parties. Each Finance Party agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Agent will be under any obligation to provide, or be under any liability for failure to provide, any such information to the other Finance Parties.

(c) A transfer of obligations will be effective only if the obligations are novated in accordance with Clause 26.3 (Procedure for novations).

(d) On each occasion an Existing Lender assigns, transfers or novates any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (other than to an Affiliate or Related Fund of that Existing Lender), the New Lender shall, on the date the assignment, transfer and/or novation takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent for its own account a fee of €1,500 except in the case of an assignment, transfer or novation where such Existing Lender also assigns, transfers or novates its rights in respect of an amount of outstanding Facility B Advances under the Existing Facility to the same New Lender in order to comply with the provisions of Clause 26.2(a)(ii) above in which case no fee will be payable under this Agreement but a fee of €1,500 will be payable under clause 26.2(d) (Transfers by Lenders) of the Existing Facility Agreement.

(e) An Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for:

(i) the execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Finance Document or any other document;

(ii) the collectability of amounts payable under any Finance Document; or

(iii) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in connection with any Finance Document.

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

(i) has made 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 Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under this Agreement or any Facility D1 Commitment, Facility D2 Commitment, Facility D3 Commitment, Facility D4 Commitment, Facility D5 Commitment or Additional Facility Commitment (if any) is in force.

(g) No Facility D Lender shall enter into any assignment, transfer, novation, sub-participation or other arrangement which results in its entitlement under Facility B to receive (either as a

131

Facility B Lender under the Existing Facility or the holder of a sub-participation interest in respect of Facility B under the Existing Facility (including without limitation pursuant to a Relevant Facility B Sub-Participation Agreement) or a combination of the foregoing) on the date of any Facility B Repayment Instalment (as defined in the Existing Facility Agreement) corresponding to the Utilisation Date for any of its undrawn Facility D Commitment, an amount of Facility B less than the amount of its undrawn Facility D Commitment to be drawn on that date.

(h) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and/or obligations assigned, transferred or novated under this Clause 26; or

(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.

(i) Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender (to the extent rights have been assigned, transferred or novated to that New Lender and to the extent that obligations have been assumed by the New Lender) but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement and its Facility D1 Commitment (if any), Facility D2 Commitment (if any), Facility D3 Commitment (if any) Facility D4 Commitment (if any) Facility D5 Commitment (if any) and Additional Facility Commitment (if any) has been cancelled or reduced to nil.

(j) If any assignment, transfer or novation results, or will result by reason of circumstances existing at the time of the assignment, transfer or novation, in additional amounts becoming due under Clause 10 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or amounts becoming due under Clause 12 (Increased Costs), the New Lender shall be entitled to receive such additional amounts only to the extent that the Existing Lender would have been so entitled had there been no such assignment, transfer or novation.

(k) On the date that a New Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender, UPC Distribution represents and warrants that on that date it has verified the status of that New Lender either as:

(i) a Professional Market Party; or

(ii) exempted from the requirement to be a Professional Market Party because it forms part of a closed circle (besloten xxxxx) with UPC Distribution,

by obtaining a duly completed and signed Verification Letter.

26.3 Procedure for novations

(a) A novation is effected if:

(i) the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed certificate (a Novation Certificate), substantially in the form of Part 1 of Schedule 5 (Novation Certificate); and

(ii) the Facility Agent executes it (which the Facility Agent shall promptly do).

(b) Each Finance Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Novation Certificate on its

132

behalf if that Novation Certificate effects a novation permitted by Clause 26.2 (Transfers by Lenders).

(c) To the extent that they are expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Novation Certificate and subject to paragraph (e) below,:

(i) the Existing Lender and the other Parties (the existing Parties) will be released from their obligations to each other (the discharged obligations);

(ii) the New Lender and the existing Parties will assume obligations towards each other which differ from the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by the New Lender instead of the Existing Lender;

(iii) the rights of the Existing Lender against the existing Parties and vice versa (the discharged rights) will be cancelled;

(iv) the New Lender and the existing Parties will acquire rights against each other which differ from the discharged rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or against the New Lender instead of the Existing Lender; and

(v) the New Lender shall become, by the execution by the Facility Agent of such Novation Certificate, bound by the terms of the Security Deed as if it were an original party thereto as a Senior Beneficiary and shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations towards the other parties to the Security Deed as would have been acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an original party to the Security Deed as a Senior Beneficiary,

all on the later of (i) five Business Days after receipt of a Verification Letter accompanied by a Novation Certificate executed by the Existing Lender and the New Lender; (ii) the date of execution of such Novation Certificate by the Facility Agent or; (iii) the date specified in the Novation Certificate.

(d) If the effective date of a novation is after the date a Request is received by the Facility Agent but before the date the requested Advance is disbursed to the relevant Borrower, the Existing Lender shall be obliged to participate in that Advance in respect of its discharged obligations notwithstanding that novation, and the New Lender shall reimburse the Existing Lender for its participation in that Advance and all interest and fees thereon up to the date of reimbursement (in each case to the extent attributable to the discharged obligations) within three Business Days of the Utilisation Date of that Advance.

(e) If an Existing Lender effects a Mid-Interest Period Transfer:

(i) the Facility Agent has an obligation to make interest accruing on and prior to the date on which the Mid-Interest Period Transfer took effect (the Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest) available to the Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Distribution). Once such Accrued Interest has been made available to the Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Distribution), the Facility Agent will be released from all obligations towards the Existing Lender;

(ii) the Facility Agent will have no obligation to pay Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest to the New Lender;

(iii) such Existing Lender will continue to have the right to receive Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest. Once such Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest has been made available to such

133

Existing Lender in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Distribution), all rights of such Existing Lender against the Facility Agent will be cancelled; and

(iv) the New Lender will have no right to receive Pre-Transfer Accrued Interest from the Facility Agent.

26.4 Additional Obligors

(a) (i) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, a Subsidiary of UPC Distribution may become an Additional Guarantor and any member of the Borrower Group may become an Additional Borrower by delivering to the Facility Agent an Obligor Accession Agreement, duly executed by that company as an Additional Guarantor or Additional Borrower (as applicable).

(ii) A person which (a) becomes the immediate Holding Company of UPC Distribution or (b) becomes a Guarantor under the Existing Facility Agreement shall, prior to or contemporaneously with becoming such Holding Company, become an Additional Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent an Obligor Accession Agreement, duly executed by that company as an Additional Guarantor.

(iii) A member of the Borrower Group that becomes an Additional Borrower shall, prior to or contemporaneously with becoming an Additional Borrower, become an Additional Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent an Obligor Accession Agreement (which may be the same Obligor Accession Agreement entered into by that Additional Borrower referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above) duly executed by that company as an Additional Guarantor.

(iv) Upon execution and delivery of an Obligor Accession Agreement and delivery of the documents specified in sub-paragraph (v) below, the relevant Subsidiary, member of the Borrower Group or person referred to in sub-paragraph (i), (ii) or (iii) above will become an Additional Guarantor or Additional Borrower and an Additional Guarantor (as applicable).

(v) UPC Distribution shall procure that, at the same time as an Obligor Accession Agreement is delivered to the Facility Agent, there is also delivered to the Facility Agent all those documents listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents), in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

(vi) The Obligor Accession Agreement referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above may, in the case of an Additional Guarantor, with the prior written approval of the Facility Agent, include a limitation of the obligations or liabilities of the relevant Additional Guarantor under Clause 14 (Guarantee) where such limitation is required by any applicable law.

(b) UPC Distribution shall:

(i) procure that at all times the value of the aggregate EBITDA, total assets and total revenues of:

(A) the Guarantors as of the Effective Date (other than UPC Distribution, any UPC Distribution Holdco, UPC Holding and UPC Holding II) and their respective Subsidiaries (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial

134

statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information)); and

(B) any Additional Guarantors which have become Guarantors since the Effective Date and their respective Subsidiaries (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) or, if no such financial statements have been provided in respect of such Additional Guarantors, as calculated by reference to the financial statements referred to in paragraph 11 of Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents) provided under Clause 26.4(a)(iii) (Additional Obligors) in respect of each Additional Guarantor),

is equal to or greater than 95 per cent. of the Borrower Group’s consolidated EBITDA, total assets and total revenues (as calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information)), if necessary by procuring that additional Subsidiaries of UPC Distribution become Additional Guarantors; and

(ii) consult with the Facility Agent prior to any entity becoming an Additional Guarantor in order to ensure that no material adverse change would or be reasonably likely to occur, as a result of such entity becoming an Additional Guarantor, in the consolidated financial position of the Borrower Group (taken as a whole) which would or be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) A member of the Borrower Group may only become an Additional Borrower:

(i) under an Additional Facility;

(ii) if such member of the Borrower Group executes an Obligor Accession Agreement prior to or contemporaneously with the execution by the relevant Initial Additional Facility Lenders of the relevant Additional Facility Accession Agreement and such Obligor Accession Agreement specifies the relevant Additional Facility under which that member of the Borrower Group is to be a Borrower; and

(iii) with the prior consent of the Majority Lenders.

(d) UPC Distribution represents and warrants to the Finance Parties that it is in compliance with paragraph (b) above as of the Effective Date (all relevant calculations being made by reference to the financial statements most recently provided under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information)).

(e) After the Effective Date, UPC Distribution shall be in compliance with its obligations under paragraph (b) above if it procures that any of its Subsidiaries which are required to become Additional Guarantors do so within 60 days after the delivery to the Facility Agent of any financial statements delivered under Clause 16.2(a) or (b) (Financial information) which demonstrate that additional Subsidiaries of UPC Distribution are required to be become Additional Guarantors under paragraph (b).

(f) The execution of an Obligor Accession Agreement constitutes confirmation by the relevant Additional Guarantor or Additional Borrower (if applicable) that the relevant representations and warranties set out in Clause 15 (Representations and Warranties) to be made by it on the date of the Obligor Accession Agreement are correct, as if made with reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.

135

26.5 Reference Banks

(a) If a Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent shall (after consulting with UPC Distribution) appoint another Lender which is not a Reference Bank to replace that Reference Bank.

(b) UPC Distribution and the Facility Agent may agree to add one or more additional Reference Bank(s) from among the Lenders.

26.6 Register

The Facility Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Clause 32.2(b) (Addresses for notices) a copy of each Novation Certificate delivered to and accepted by it and a register of the names and addresses all the Parties including, in the case of Lenders, their Commitments under each Facility, the principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to each Lender from time to time and the details of their Facility Office notified to the Facility Agent from time to time, and shall supply any other Party (at that Party’s expense) with a copy of the register on request. The entries in such register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Facility Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or

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

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Party to this Agreement (and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, professional advisers, or other agents) may (and has since the commencement of discussions with respect to the Facility been permitted to) disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind:

(i) the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (each as defined below) of the Facility; and

28. Set-off

28.1 Contractual set-off

A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed by 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.

28.2 Set-off not mandatory

No Finance Party shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by Clause 28.1 (Contractual set-off).

(a) the recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received had the recovery been received by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 9 (Payments);

(d) the Facility Agent shall treat the redistribution as if it were a payment by the Obligor concerned under Clause 9 (Payments) and shall pay the redistribution to the Finance Parties (other than the recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 9.7 (Partial payments); and

(e) after payment of the full redistribution, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the portion of the claims paid under paragraph (d) above, and that Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

If under Clause 29.1 (Redistribution):

(a) a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

(b) the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

each Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the recovering Finance Party through the Facility Agent, reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party. Thereupon the subrogation in Clause 29.1(e) (Redistribution) will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

Each Finance Party agrees with the Facility Agent that it will comply with any notice given to it by the Facility Agent under this Clause 29.2.

29.3 Exceptions

(a) A recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Obligor concerned in the amount of the redistribution pursuant to Clause 29.1(e) (Redistribution).

(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 proceedings, if the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal proceedings but did not do so and did not take separate legal proceedings.

30. SEVERABILITY

If a provision of any Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect:

(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of the Finance Documents; or

SCHEDULE 3

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1.

2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, the arithmetic mean (rounded up, if necessary, to four decimal places) of the respective rates notified by each Reference Bank to the Facility Agent at its request as the rate resulting from the application of the formulae set out in paragraphs 3 and 4 below (the Additional Cost Rate).

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

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

in relation to an Advance in any currency other than sterling:

E x 0.01		per cent. per annum.
300

Where:

E is designed to compensate the Reference Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules (but, for this purpose, ignoring any minimum fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules) and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average for the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5. For the purposes of this Schedule:

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

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

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

156

6. If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

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

(a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

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

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

8. The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above.

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

10. The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Costs to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

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

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

If the Grantor fails to make a payment to the Participant for the reasons set out in paragraph (i), then interest shall accrue (as well after as before judgment) on the unpaid balance of the sum from day to day at the rate (as determined by the Participant) which is being offered by leading banks in the relevant interbank market for overnight deposits in the currency of and for an amount equal to the unpaid balance. Interest shall be payable by the Grantor at the end of each day and, for the purposes of this Clause 4.5, shall constitute part of the unpaid balance to the extent it is not paid.

6. NON-RELIANCE AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION

6.1 Independent investigation

171

appropriate under the circumstances, and without reliance on the other Party (except for reliance on any express representation made by the other Party hereunder).

6.2 Non-reliance

In addition, the Grantor does not make, and the Participant does not rely upon, any representation, warranty or condition (express or implied) about, and the Grantor shall have no liability or responsibility to the Participant for, the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of the Credit Documentation, or other documentation delivered by the Grantor to the Participant, or any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Credit Documentation or other documentation, or any non-performance by any party to it, or the financial condition of any Obligor under the Credit Documentation.

(g) The Grantor’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to its obligations under the Credit Documentation.

8.2 Credit Documentation

Subject to the proviso contained in Clause 11.5 the Grantor may, without responsibility to the Participant:

(b) agree to any variation or waiver of the terms of the Credit Documentation;

(c) and perform any other acts under the Credit Documentation as it in its discretion sees fit.

9. CONFIRMATION OF RECEIPTS

Where the obligation of the Grantor to make a payment arises as a result of its having received an amount from another person, the Grantor is not obliged to make that payment to the Participant until the Grantor has established that it has actually received that amount. However, the Grantor may assume that the sum has been paid to it in accordance with the Credit Documentation, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to the Participant a corresponding amount or the relevant portion thereof. If the sum has not been made available but the Grantor has paid a corresponding amount or the relevant portion thereof to the Participant, the Participant shall forthwith on demand by the Grantor refund the corresponding amount or the relevant portion thereof together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of refund, calculated at a rate reasonably determined by the Grantor to reflect its costs of funds.

10. REFUNDS

(a) If the Grantor applies any amount in or towards satisfaction of an Obligor’s obligations under the Credit Documentation and the Grantor is, as a result of the application or any payment to the Grantor giving rise to the application, obliged by any law, rule or regulation to make any payment to any person, then the Participant shall, upon demand by the Grantor, repay to the

174

Grantor a corresponding portion of any amount paid to the Participant as a result of the application.

(b) If under any pro rata sharing, loss-sharing or similar clause in the Credit Documentation, the Grantor is obliged:

(i) to pay a sum to other lenders or their agent under the Credit Documentation; or

(ii) to acquire an interest in any sum owing to any other lender under the Credit Documentation; or

(iii) otherwise to share any receipts or recoveries by the Grantor under the Credit Documentation,

(c) then the Grantor shall not be deemed for the purposes of the Funded Participation to have received any sum from an Obligor to the extent of that payment, interest acquired or sharing. Any interest acquired shall be deemed to be part of the relevant Facility B Loan, if applicable.

11. GENERAL DEBT RESTRUCTURING

11.1 Risk

The Participant will bear the risk of any General Debt Restructuring in relation to the Participation.

11.2 Blocked payments

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, the Grantor shall not be obliged to make any payment to the Participant under the Funded Participation in respect of:

(i) any sum which is paid into a blocked account or is paid in non-transferable or non-convertible currency until that impediment is removed;

(ii) any sum which is required to be used for a specific purpose pursuant to a General Debt Restructuring; or

(iii) any financial or other instrument issued to the Grantor, (including any instrument issued pursuant to Clause 11.3 (Other instruments)) in either case in satisfaction or purported satisfaction of any obligation of an Obligor to make any payment with respect to any Participated Tranche or Facility B Loan (which payment, if made to the Grantor in the manner provided for in the Credit Documentation, would have given rise to a liability on the part of the Grantor to make a corresponding payment to the Participant under the Funded Participation) unless and until such instrument is disposed of, redeemed or otherwise realised for cash and where the proceeds of realisation are not themselves subject to this paragraph (a).

(b) The Grantor will endeavour (at the expense of the Participant) to give the Participant the equivalent pro rata benefit of any sum (including, without limitation, any amounts received in cash) or instrument referred to in paragraph (a) above (by way of assignment or otherwise) to the extent that the Grantor is able to do so and to the extent that the same is, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, attributable to the Participant’s Participation in relation to any Participated Tranche (in the case of principal amounts) or the Participant’s Facility B Participation in relation to any Facility B Loan (in all other cases).

175

11.3 Other instruments

The Grantor may, in connection with any General Debt Restructuring, apply for or accept any note, debenture or other instrument whether debt, equity or otherwise issued or proposed to be issued by an Obligor or any other person in respect of any Participated Tranche or Facility B Loan or any part thereof, or any Interest, commission or fees payable in respect of any Participated Tranche or Facility B Loan or any part thereof.

11.4 Rescheduling agreement

Subject as provided herein, the Grantor may participate in any agreement in connection with a General Debt Restructuring and which relates to any principal of, Interest on or fees in respect of, any Participated Tranche or Facility B Loan. The Grantor shall give to the Participant the benefit of the agreement on the same terms (mutatis mutandis) as the Funded Participation to the extent that payments received and applied by the Grantor under the agreement are in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion attributable to the Participant’s Participation in relation to any Participated Tranche (in the case of principal amounts) or the Participant’s Facility B Participation in relation to any Facility B Loan (in all other cases).

11.5 New money

If, in connection with any General Debt Restructuring, the Grantor agrees to increase its exposure (whether by way of additional advances or otherwise), the Grantor shall not be obliged to account to the Participant under the Funded Participation until that increased exposure has been paid and satisfied unless the Participant participates in the increased exposure on the terms of the Funded Participation (mutatis mutandis) Provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions the Participant shall have no obligation to participate in any such increased exposure whether in connection with any General Debt Restructuring or otherwise.

12. SET-OFF

Either Party may (but is not obliged to) set off any amount due and payable by the other Party under the Funded Participation against any such amounts due and payable by it to the other Party thereunder. The Party exercising its rights under this provision may effect such currency exchanges as it considers necessary to implement the set off.

13. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, if the Grantor incurs any costs or expenses in connection with the Credit Documentation (other than any costs or expenses in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Credit Documentation and other than the Grantor’s normal administrative costs and expenses prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Documentation) which are not recovered from the relevant Obligor on demand (Relevant Costs and Expenses), then the Participant shall forthwith on demand pay to the Grantor an amount equal to the Participant’s Global Proportion of the Relevant Costs and Expenses.

(b) The Grantor shall pay to the Participant the Participant’s Global Proportion of any amounts subsequently recovered by the Grantor in respect of any Relevant Costs and Expenses.

(c) At the request of the Participant, the Grantor shall provide to the Participant as soon as possible reasonably detailed information regarding any Relevant Costs and Expenses incurred by the Grantor.

176

(d) Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule each of the Participant and the Grantor shall bear its respective out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal expenses) in connection with the Funded Participation.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER

(a) The Funded Participation shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns and transferees provided that neither Party may assign or transfer its rights under the Funded Participation unless:

(i) the prior written consent of the other Party is given; or

(b) The Participant may not sub-participate its interest in this Funded Participation.

15. NOVATION

Subject to the consent of the Grantor (not to be unreasonably withheld (and the Participant acknowledges that, in determining whether to grant or refuse consent, a relevant factor may be the creditworthiness of the proposed Transferee)) the Participant may transfer its rights and obligations under the Funded Participation to a third party (a Transferee) by delivery to the Grantor of a Novation Certificate in the form annexed hereto duly completed and signed by the Participant and the Transferee and with effect from the date of receipt by the Grantor, or, if later, the date specified in such certificate:

(c) the Transferee shall become a party hereto as the Participant.

16. TERMINATION

16.1 Cancelling the Funded Participation

If the Participant breaches any of its material obligations under the Funded Participation, the Grantor shall (subject to Clause 16.2 (Corresponding transfer of Facility D) below) have the right to cancel the Funded Participation by paying to the Participant an amount equal to the relevant Participant’s Proportion of each Facility B Repayment Instalment funded by the

177

Participant and once such payment has been made all rights and obligations of each Party hereunder (other than accrued claims and liabilities including, without limitation, any rights of the Participant in respect of accrued interest, commission and fees) shall be cancelled and shall have no further force or effect.

16.2 Corresponding transfer of Facility D

PART 2

FORM OF LSTA CONFIDENTIALITY UNDERTAKING

Master Confidentiality Agreement dated as of [        ] (this Agreement) between [Existing Lender] (the Existing Lender) and [New Lender] (the New Lender).

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that will apply, in each instance, to the treatment of certain non-public information that the Existing Lender may supply to the New Lender in connection with the consideration by the New Lender of its participating in any financing or proposed financing (a Financing) for any borrower or group of borrowers (each a Borrower) specified in a Schedule described below.

As used herein: (a) Evaluation Material refers to (i) the non-public information furnished to the Existing Lender, including any Information Memorandum, in respect of a particular Financing of a Borrower that the Existing Lender supplies to the New Lender on or after the date of the Schedule in respect of such Financing, (ii) all memoranda, notes, and other documents and analyses (collectively, analyses) internally developed by the Existing Lender that it supplies to the New Lender and (iii) all analyses developed by the New Lender using any information specified under clauses (i) and (ii) above; (b) Internal Evaluation Material refers to analyses specified under clause (iii) of the definition of Evaluation Material; and (c) participation refers to a transfer of a lender’s interest in a Financing (or a grant of derivative rights in respect thereof), whether by assignment, participation or otherwise (and participate and participating shall have correlative meanings thereto).

As a condition to the Existing Lender’s furnishing the New Lender with any Evaluation Material in the Existing Lender’s possession in respect of a particular Financing, the New Lender shall execute and return to the Existing Lender a schedule, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, that the Existing Lender may have completed, executed and delivered to it (a Schedule). Each Schedule shall identify the Existing Lender and the New Lender in respect of such Financing and the related Evaluation Material, the name of each Borrower that the New Lender has under consideration and a description of the documentation (the Operative Documentation) in respect thereof.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing agrees that it will use all Evaluation Material in respect of such Financing solely for the purpose of evaluating its possible participation, or obtaining the participation of another eligible person (an Additional Assignee), in such Financing and that the New Lender will use reasonable precautions in accordance with its established procedures to keep such information confidential; provided, however, that any such information may be disclosed to the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, auditors, affiliates, advisors and representatives (collectively, Representatives) of the New Lender’s institution who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating its participation in such Financing (it being understood that such Representatives shall be informed by the New Lender of the confidential nature of such information and shall be directed by it to treat such information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and to any Additional Assignee and its Representatives (provided that such Additional Assignee shall have previously executed and delivered to the New Lender an agreement in substantially the same substance as this Agreement in respect of the Evaluation Material). The New Lender agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement that results from the actions or omissions of its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Lender will not use such information to obtain an Additional Assignee if otherwise prohibited by agreements binding on the New Lender.

197

In addition, the New Lender in respect of a particular Financing agrees that prior to the settlement of its participation in such Financing, it will not disclose to any person, other than its Representatives, the identity of the Existing Lender with which discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the New Lender’s possible participation in the related Financing or any of the terms or conditions of such proposed participation. The term person as used in this Agreement shall be broadly interpreted to include the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity and, if the New Lender’s participation in the Financing would constitute a secondary market transaction, the Borrower.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing shall be permitted to disclose any related Evaluation Material (and the fact that such Evaluation Material has been made available to it and that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto) in the event that the New Lender is required by law or regulation or requested by any governmental agency or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization having or claiming to have jurisdiction) or in connection with any legal proceedings. The New Lender agrees that it will notify the Existing Lender as soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure (other than as a result of an examination by any regulatory agency), unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal process.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing and its Representatives shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to any information in any related Evaluation Material to the extent that such information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the New Lender in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was within the New Lender’s possession prior to its being furnished to it pursuant hereto, provided that the source of such information was not known by the New Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other party with respect to such information or (iii) is or becomes available to the New Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the Existing Lender, or their respective Representatives, provided that such source is not known by the New Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Existing Lender, the Borrower or any other party with respect to such information.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter, any party to this letter (and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, professional advisers, or other agents) may and has since the commencement of discussions with respect to the Facility been permitted to disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind:

(i) the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (each as defined below) of the Facility; and

(ii) all material of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure,

except to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable federal or state securities laws.

For the purposes of this subsection, the U.S. tax treatment of the Facility is the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility, and the U.S. tax structure of the Facility is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal, state and local income tax treatment of the Facility. This authorisation is not intended to permit disclosure of any information (other than information relating to U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility) including (without limitation) (i) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the U.S. tax treatment or U.S. tax structure of the Facility, (ii) the identities of participants or potential participants in the Facility (except to the extent such identities are related to the tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), (iii) the existence or status of any negotiations, (iv) any pricing or financial information (except to the extent such pricing or financial information is related to the U.S.

198

tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility), or (v) any other term or detail not relevant to the U.S. tax treatment or the U.S. tax structure of the Facility.

To the extent the Operative Documentation for a particular Financing contains provisions regarding the use of non-public information which conflict with, are more restrictive than or are in addition to the provisions of this Agreement, then (so long as such Operative Documentation shall be effective as to the Existing Lender) solely with application to any Evaluation Material concerning the Borrower that is the subject of such Financing (and without application hereunder to any other Evaluation Material or otherwise), such provisions of the Operative Documentation shall be incorporated herein by this reference and shall supersede and control the terms of this Agreement to the extent that such provisions are in conflict with or more restrictive than the terms hereof or are in addition to those contained herein. Upon the New Lender’s request, the Existing Lender will furnish to the New Lender the provisions of the Operative Documentation for such Financing regarding the use of non-public information. In addition, in the event that the New Lender actually becomes a lender (bound as a party to the Operative Documentation) with respect to a particular Financing, the application of this Agreement in respect of all Evaluation Material in respect of such Financing shall terminate and the applicable confidentiality provisions, if any, contained in the Operative Documentation shall govern and control.

If the New Lender in respect of a particular Financing chooses not to participate in such Financing, the New Lender agrees on request of the Existing Lender to return to the Existing Lender as soon as practical all related Evaluation Material (other than Internal Evaluation Material) or destroy such Evaluation Material (other than Internal Evaluation Material) without retaining any copies thereof unless prohibited from doing so by its internal policies and procedures.

The New Lender in respect of a particular Financing understands and agrees that the Existing Lender will have received the related Evaluation Material from third party sources (including the Borrower) and that the Existing Lender bears no responsibility (and shall not be liable) for the accuracy or completeness (or lack thereof) of such Evaluation Material or any information contained therein.

The New Lender hereby acknowledges that United States securities laws prohibit any person with material, non-public information about an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other person. The New Lender agrees to comply with its internal compliance policies and procedures with respect to material confidential information.

The New Lender agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for breach of this Agreement, and that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Existing Lender shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, without proof of actual damages.

This Agreement (including each Schedule delivered pursuant hereto and the provisions of any Operative Documentation incorporated herein by reference) embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to all Evaluation Material for each Financing and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements relating thereto. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties hereto, the application of this Agreement shall terminate with respect to all Evaluation Material concerning each Financing on the date falling one year after the Schedule in respect of such Financing.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law (except Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law to the extent that it mandates that the law of the State of New York govern).

199

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute the same instrument.

It is understood by the parties that the custom in the loan syndications and loan trading markets is to execute and deliver any confidentiality agreement, schedule, confirmation or other transaction documents by telecopy or telefax. The parties agree that all telecopied or telefaxed copies of this Agreement, the Schedules, confirmations and other transaction documents, and signatures hereto and thereto, shall be duplicate originals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective authorized officers as of the date first written above.
