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

and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions 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 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


			-49-

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.

(b) EURIBOR.

10.2 Payment of interest

Each Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on any Loan made to such Borrower on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if pursuant to paragraph (c) of Clause 11.1 (Selection of Interest Periods and terms) the Agent and such Borrower have agreed to an Interest Period which is longer than six (6) Months, on the dates falling at six (6) Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

10.3 Default interest

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up


			-56-

to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent. (1%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.3 shall be immediately payable by the relevant Obligor on demand by the Agent.

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

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

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

(c) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded (to the extent permitted under any applicable law and regulation, including article 1283 of the Italian Civil Code and article 120 of Italian legislative Decree No.385 dated 1 September 1993 and any relevant implementing regulations, as amended, supplemented or implemented from time to time) with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

10.4 Notification of rates of interest

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

10.5 Italian usury cap

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the rate of interest applicable to a Loan made available under this Agreement to a Borrower and guaranteed by an Italian Guarantor (including the relevant component of any applicable fee and expense) exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Italian law of 7 March 1996 No. 108 and related implementation regulations (the "Italian Usury Legislation"), the rate of interest of any Loan guaranteed by such Italian Guarantor shall be deemed to be automatically reduced, for the shortest possible period, to the maximum rate permitted under the Italian Usury Legislation.

10.6 Canadian Guarantors

The following additional provision shall apply to any and all obligations of any Canadian Guarantor under this Agreement, but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be construed so as to modify or amend any of the obligations of any other Obligor under this Agreement:


			-57-

(a) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige such Canadian Guarantor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Finance Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in a receipt by that Finance Party of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by that Finance Party of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), by reducing any interest, fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Finance Party which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Finance Document to the contrary, if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due by a Canadian Guarantor to a Finance Party in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Finance Party could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied. The obligations of such Canadian Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Finance Party under any of the Finance Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Finance Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, such Finance Party may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Finance Party in the Original Currency, such Canadian Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment to indemnify the Finance Party, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Finance Party in the Original Currency, the Finance Party shall remit such excess to such Canadian Guarantor.


			-58-

(35%) of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the European interbank market would be in excess of EURIBOR.

12.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or a Borrower so requires, the Agent and that Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

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

Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to such Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender, it shall promptly notify the Parent and, if necessary, any Obligors making the payment.

(1) any Change of Tax Law; or

(2) a change in the jurisdiction in which an Obligor is established or resident for tax purposes at the date it


			-65-

becomes an Obligor under this Agreement other than as a result of a Permitted Merger;

(B) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to such Lender without a Tax Deduction had such Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (f) below;

(C) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender in relation to a payment by an Obligor solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (a)(B) of the definition of "Qualifying Lender" and:

(D) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender in relation to the payment solely by virtue of sub-paragraph (a)(B) of the definition of "Qualifying Lender" and:

(1) such Lender has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Obligor; and

(2) the payment could have been made to such Lender without any Tax Deduction if such Lender had given a Tax Confirmation to the Obligor, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled the Obligor to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an "excepted payment" for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or

(ii) a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by The Netherlands from any payment under this Agreement if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) with reference to any payment made under a Finance Document by any Obligor, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if such Lender had been a Qualifying Lender in relation to that payment, but on that date such Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender in relation to that payment other than as a result of:


			-66-

(1) any Change of Tax Law; or

(2) a change in the jurisdiction in which an Obligor is established or resident for tax purposes at the date it becomes an Obligor under this Agreement other than as a result of a Permitted Merger.

(e) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

For the purposes of facilitating such co-operation, the Agent may request from any Treaty Lender (which shall use reasonable endeavours to provide) any affidavit or relevant tax certificates reasonably promptly following request.

(g)

(i)

(A) A Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Part II of Schedule 1 (The Effective Date Parties) and, having done so, such Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to paragraph (f) above.

			-67-

(A) a Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

(B) a Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

(1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a Tax Deduction within sixty (60) Business Days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing,

and in each case, such Borrower has notified such Lender in writing, such Lender and such Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction, or with a reduced Tax Deduction;

(iii) if a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (i) above, no Obligor shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of such Lender's Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees;

(iv) an Obligor shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that Borrower DTTP Filing to the Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender;

(v) a UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a Tax Confirmation to the Parent by entering into this Agreement; and

			-68-

setting forth the amount of any Tax Deduction that the Obligor will withhold from each payment to be made to each Lender included on such schedule on the due date for such payment (the "IGT Withholding Schedule"). No failure or delay of the Agent to provide the Borrowers with the schedule contemplated hereunder shall affect the obligation of any Obligor to make the payments otherwise required to be made by them under this Agreement.

(i) Any Lender which enters into any sub-participation or other risk sharing arrangement with a Relevant Sub-Participant shall only be entitled to receive payments under this Clause 14.2 with reference to any interest paid on the sub-participated commitment (i) to the same extent as such Lender would have been if it had not entered into such sub-participation or (ii) for an amount equivalent to the Tax Deduction required by law to be applied on any payment made under this Agreement and beneficially owned by the Relevant Sub-Participant, if lower; provided that this paragraph (i) shall not apply to limit any entitlement to receive payments under this Clause 14.2 if the right to receive a greater payment results from a Change of Tax Law that occurs after the Relevant Sub-Participant acquired the applicable sub-participated commitment.

14.3 Tax indemnity

(a) The relevant Obligor shall (within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay (or cause to be paid) to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which such Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by such Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document (and for which it has provided, or will provide, documentary evidence).

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

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

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up); or


			-69-

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (d) of Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) applied; or

(C) is compensated for by Clause 14.6 (Stamp taxes) (or would have been so compensated for under that Clause but was not so compensated solely because any of the exceptions set out therein applied); or

(D) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

(c) A Protected Party making or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the relevant Obligor.

14.4 Tax Credit

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

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

(b) such Finance Party has obtained, utilised and fully retained that Tax Credit on an affiliated group basis,

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

14.5 Lender Status Confirmation

(a) Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, in which of the following categories it falls:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Lender other than a Treaty Lender; or

(iii) a Treaty Lender.


			-70-

(b) If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 14.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Obligors).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of any Lender to comply with this Clause 14.5.

14.6 Stamp taxes

Each Borrower shall, or shall procure that an Obligor shall, pay and, within ten (10) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any duly documented liability, loss, cost or expense that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document; provided that no Obligor shall be liable for the aforementioned liability, loss, cost or expense:

(a) in relation to any such Taxes payable in respect of an assignment, transfer or sub-participation by a Finance Party, unless that assignment, transfer or sub-participation is carried out at the request of any Obligor and the Finance Party agrees to such request voluntarily (in circumstances where it is not required to agree to such request on the terms of this Agreement);

(b) to the extent that such Taxes become payable upon a voluntary registration made by any Finance Party if such registration is not necessary to evidence, prove, maintain, enforce, compel or otherwise assert the rights of such Party or obligations of any Party under a Finance Document or when such registration is not necessary in order to produce or rely on such document for any other purposes; or

(c) in case it arises as a consequence of, or in connection to, any claims by any authority, including, but not limited to, any Tax authority, and the Lender has not provided the relevant Borrower with copies of any relevant written communications relating to the Finance Document, including, but not limited to, any notices of payment, (the "Tax Notice") received from that authority within fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt (the "Tax Notice Term"). If the Lender notifies the relevant Borrower with the Tax Notice within the Tax Notice Term, then the Parties will agree, without prejudice of any rights of the relevant Lender, including the right to be indemnified, under this Clause 14.6, as far as reasonably practicable acting in good faith, possible defensive strategies and the substance and conduct of such defensive strategies and such Lender will, as far as reasonably practicable acting in good faith, share in a timely fashion any relevant information for the relevant Borrower in relation to the development of any litigation proceedings or any settlement or other procedures which may be in progress as the result of the implementation of such defensive strategies.

14.7 Value added tax

(a) All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on each supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account for the VAT to the relevant Tax Authority that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the "Supplier") to any other Finance Party (the "Recipient") under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(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 costs or expenses, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify the Finance Party in respect of the full amount of such costs or expenses, 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 from the relevant tax authority in respect of such VAT.

(d) Any reference in this Clause 14.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant


			-72-

member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

14.8 FATCA information

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(i) confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA;

(iii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c) Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i) any law or regulation;

(ii) any fiduciary duty; or

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.


			-73-

(d) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

14.9 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.

(b) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Parent and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will not, to the extent permitted under mandatory law, be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (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;


			-79-

(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;

(d) 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;

(g) any unenforceability or illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or Security; or

(h) any insolvency or similar proceedings,

(other than the irrevocable payment in full of such obligations).

19.5 Guarantor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.4 (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 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: 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 or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

19.6 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


			-80-

Security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 19. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

19.7 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 19.

19.8 Deferral of Guarantors' rights

(a) Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees with each Guarantor that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause 19.8 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the payment by the Guarantors of any of their obligations under this guarantee (whether pursuant to the guarantees, undertakings or indemnities given in Clause 19.1 (Guarantee and indemnity) or otherwise):

(i) each Obligor shall indemnify the Guarantors for the full amount of such payment; and

(ii) the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment (such rights of indemnification and subrogation, together with all other rights of the Guarantors, by reason of the performance of any of their obligations under this guarantee, or any action taken pursuant to any rights conferred by or pursuant to this guarantee, to be indemnified by any person, to prove in respect of any liability in the winding-up of any person or to take the benefit of or enforce any Security or guarantees or to exercise any rights of contribution are, collectively, the "Subrogation Rights").

(b) 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, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents:

(i) to be indemnified by an Obligor;

(ii) to claim any contribution from any other Guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents; or


			-81-

(iii) 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.

From and after the date when 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, the Subrogation Rights of the Guarantors may be exercised and enforced by the Guarantors in their sole discretion.

19.9 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.

19.10 Additional security

(i) each Finance Party agrees that the maximum liability of each US Guarantor under Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such US Guarantor's obligations hereunder and under the other Finance Documents subject to avoidance under US Bankruptcy Law or to being set aside, avoided or annulled under any Fraudulent Transfer Law, in each case after giving effect to:

(A) all other liabilities of such US Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Law (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such US Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to any Borrower to the extent that such Financial Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such US Guarantor hereunder); and

(B) the value as assets of such US Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Law) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such US Guarantor pursuant to

(1) applicable law or

(2) any other agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such US Guarantor and the Borrowers and other Guarantors of obligations arising under this Agreement or other guarantees of such obligations by such parties: and

(ii) each party agrees that, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Clause 19, each such Guarantor shall be entitled to be indemnified from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the contributing Guarantor and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors.

19.12 Italian guarantee limitations

(a) In the case of any Italian Guarantor, its liability as Guarantor under this Clause 19 shall not exceed, at any time, the aggregate at that time of the highest outstanding principal amount at any time of all inter-company loans advanced (or granted) to such Italian Guarantor (or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries) by any Obligor or any other member of the Group after the date of this Agreement.

19.13 German guarantee limitations

The enforcement of the guarantee created under this Clause 19 and any indemnity owing under this Agreement by any German Guarantor, shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) To the extent that the guarantee under this Clause 19 secures, or to the extent that any indemnity of such German Guarantor would result in a payment of, liabilities of its direct or indirect shareholder(s) (an "Up-stream Guarantee") or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of such German Guarantor) (a "Cross-stream Guarantee") (save for any guarantees or indemnity in respect of funds to the extent they are on-lent, or otherwise passed on, or they replace or refinance funds which were on-lent, or otherwise passed on, in each case to such German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries, and such amount on-lent or otherwise passed on is not returned (if returned, a limitation will only apply to the extent the repayment has been proved by an up-to-date balance sheet)), the Guarantee or such indemnity shall not be enforced at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent such German Guarantor demonstrates that the enforcement would have the effect of:

(i) causing its Net Assets to be reduced to an amount less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or

(ii) (if its Net Assets are already below its stated share capital) causing such amount to be further reduced,

and thereby affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (Stammkapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) ("GmbHG") (as applicable at the time of enforcement) (each of the circumstances set out in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, respectively a "Capital Impairment").

(b) "Net Assets" means a German Guarantor’s net assets (Nettovermögen) the value of which shall generally be determined in accordance with the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) ("HGB") consistently applied by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss according to Section 42 GmbHG, Sections 242 and 264 of the HGB) in previous years, save that:

(i) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhung des Stammkapitals) after the date of this Agreement (1) that has been effected out of retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus


			-84-

Gesellschaftsmitteln) or (2) to the extent that it is not fully paid up, shall be deducted from the stated share capital;

(ii) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, such German Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 sub-section 1 no. 5 or section 39 sub-section 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded;

(iii) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by such German Guarantor in violation of the provisions of any Finance Document shall be disregarded; and

(iv) the costs of the Auditors' Determination (as defined below) shall be taken into account either as a reduction of assets or as an increase of liabilities.

(c) The limitations set out in paragraph (a) only apply if within ten (10) Business Days following receipt from the Agent of a notice stating that it demands payment under the guarantee under this Clause 19 or indemnity from any German Guarantor (the "Payment Demand") (during which up to ten (10) Business Days period (but no longer than until the receipt of the Management Determination) the enforcement shall be excluded), the managing director(s) of such German Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Agent (the "Management Determination"):

(i) to what extent the guarantee under this Clause 19 or indemnity is an Up-stream Guarantee or a Cross-stream Guarantee as described in paragraph (a); and

(ii) in case such German Guarantor claims the occurrence of a Capital Impairment, which amount of such Up-stream Guarantee or Cross-stream Guarantee cannot be enforced as its Net Assets are below its stated share capital or such enforcement would cause its Net Assets to be reduced to an amount below its stated share capital, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in Sections 30 and 31 of the GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by an up-to-date balance sheet of such German Guarantor together with a detailed calculation of the amount of its Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in paragraph (a).

The Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the Payment Demand. The Agent shall then be entitled to enforce the guarantee under this Clause 19 or indemnity in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not result in a Capital Impairment.

(d) Following the Agent's receipt of the Management Determination, the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent within twenty (20) Business Days of the Agent's request an up-to-date balance sheet together with a detailed


			-85-

calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German Guarantor, drawn-up by an auditor of international standard and reputation appointed by it taking into account the adjustments and obligations as set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) above (the "Auditors' Determination"). The Auditors' Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the Payment Demand in accordance with HGB consistently applied by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss according to Section 42 GmbHG, Sections 242 and 264 of the HGB) in previous years and shall be binding for all parties. The Agent shall then be entitled to enforce the guarantee under this Clause 19 or indemnity in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor's Determination, not result in a Capital Impairment.

(e) Each German Guarantor shall use its best efforts to realise within three (3) months after receipt of the Payment Demand and of a request from the Agent, to the extent legally permitted, any and all of its assets that are (i) shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially lower (at least thirty per cent. (30%) lower) than the market value of the assets and (ii) not required for continuing its business (betriebsnotwendig) if such German Guarantor claims the occurrence of a Capital Impairment. After the expiry of such three (3) months such German Guarantor shall, within ten (10) Business Days, notify the Agent of (i) the amount of the proceeds from the sale and (ii) submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of its Net Assets taking into account such proceeds (the "New Calculation"). The New Calculation shall, upon the request from the Agent, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in paragraph (d) within a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the request (the "Audited New Calculation"). The Audited New Calculation shall be binding for all parties. The Agent shall then be entitled to enforce the guarantee under this Clause 19 or indemnity in an amount which would, in accordance with the New Calculation or, if an Audited New Calculation has been requested, with the Audited New Calculation, not result in a Capital Impairment.

(f) The restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) shall only apply, if so long as and to the extent that:

(i) a German Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (c) through (e) above;

(ii) such German Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag)or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) where the German Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement which agreement provides the German Guarantor with a fully valuable (werthaltig) compensation claim against the dominating entity (herschendes Unternehmen); provided that such fully valuable compensation claim shall no longer be required (and the absence of such claim would not hold up the applicability of any limitations


			-86-

hereunder) if, at the time of enforcement, section 30 subsection 1 sentence 2 (first alternative) GmbHG has been construed by a ruling of the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) in a way that such compensation claim is not required for the application of section 30 subsection 1 sentence 2 (first alternative) of the GmbHG; and

(iii) such German Guarantor does, at the time of the Payment Demand, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs oder Rückgewähranspruch) of any amount so paid against the relevant shareholder.

(g) No limitations under this limitation language will prejudice the rights of the Agent or any other Finance Party to enforce the guarantee under this Clause 19 and any indemnity hereunder more than once (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement).

			-108-

(A) each Obligor over each intercompany note or loan in excess of US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) between the Obligor as creditor and a member of the Group as debtor; and

(B) each member of the Group over each intercompany note or loan in excess of US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) between such member of the Group as creditor and an Obligor as debtor,

whether documented by a promissory note or otherwise; and

(ii) any Public Debt Rating is equal to BB- or Ba3 or lower (in circumstances where the remaining Public Debt Ratings are equal to BB+ or Ba1 or lower) or any Public Debt Rating has been withdrawn, then the Parent shall procure that, as soon as practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days after the relevant Public Debt Rating(s) or Public Debt Rating withdrawal(s) or reduction(s) become(s) public, Security is granted over:

(A) the intercompany note or loan referred to in paragraph (b)(i) above, to the extent it has not already been granted in favour of the Finance Parties; and

(B) all of the accounts receivable under contracts for the supply of goods and services to customers of the Material Subsidiaries,

it being understood that granting of Security under this paragraph (b) will not be required to the extent that it would cause a default (however defined) under any "equal and rateable security" or "most favoured nation" provisions (or other provisions of equivalent effect) under the Pari Passu Indebtedness due to an inability (despite the exercise of reasonable commercial endeavours) to overcome any obstacle to compliance with such provisions.

(i) any new Security or Quasi-Security is granted over assets of the Group in favour of the holders or creditors of Pari Passu Indebtedness; or

(ii) any Relevant Existing Security, other existing Security or Quasi Security is amended on terms favourable to the holders or creditors of Pari Passu Indebtedness,

then, at the same time any such grant or amendment becomes effective, the Parent shall do all acts and deliver all documents as are necessary (including accessions pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Obligors)) to procure that the Finance Parties receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same new Security or Quasi-Security (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions) or receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same


			-109-

amended terms (as the case may be) in substance and form satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably).

(d) With respect to any Security or Quasi-Security granted or to be granted by any member of the Group pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above (the "Transaction Security"), each Obligor shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the relevant public announcement (or in the case of any Transaction Security granted to holder of Pari Passu Indebtedness, at the same time as such Transaction Security is so granted), do all such acts or execute all such documents as the Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Agent may reasonably require) to grant and perfect the Transaction Security created or intended to be created under or evidenced by the relevant security documents entered into with respect to the Transaction Security (the "Security Documents") and shall thereafter take all such action as is available to it (including making all filings and registrations and entering into any deeds of extension or confirmation) as may be necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of any Transaction Security conferred or intended to be conferred by or pursuant to the Security Documents, in each case promptly following a reasonable request of the Agent (including without limitation following the completion of any Permitted Merger).

(e) With respect to the granting of any Security or Quasi-Security granted or to be granted by any member of the Group pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the obligation shall be subject always to the Agreed Security Principles. With respect to the granting of Security over accounts receivable referred to in paragraph (c) above in circumstances where Agreed Security Principle 2.1(d) relating to third party arrangements would apply due to the requirement of third party consent, then the Parent shall request such consent within the applicable timeframe in respect of accounts receivable that together, at that time, constitute a percentage of consolidated Group revenues that is at least the greater of (i) the percentage of revenues represented by the ten (10) largest relevant contracts by revenue and (ii) twenty-five per cent. (25%).

(f) In this Agreement, "Pari Passu Indebtedness" means any Financial Indebtedness incurred by any member of the Group pursuant to any loan, facility, any public or private financing in the domestic or international debt capital markets (including any public or private bond issue, placement or note, security or other debt issuance or indebtedness), in each case incurred by any member of the Group (including, without limitation, the Existing Indebtedness) as well as any Financial Indebtedness incurred by any member of the Group for the purposes of refinancing any of the aforementioned Financial Indebtedness but excludes Financial Indebtedness which is secured by Security that falls within the basket set out in paragraph (o) of the definition of "Permitted Security".

(g) The provisions of Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease) shall continue with full force and effect notwithstanding any intervening application of Clause 37.7 (Release of Security on Permitted Disposal and investment grade rating) and in the event that the relevant trigger


			-110-

conditions are met subsequently, the Parent shall again be obliged to procure the granting of Security in accordance with this Clause 23.22.

23.23 Guarantor threshold test and Additional Guarantors

(a) Subject in each case to the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent shall do all acts and deliver all documents as are necessary, including procuring accessions pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Obligors), to ensure that commencing from the Initial Utilisation Date and by reference to the Compliance Certificate and accompanying financial statements to be delivered pursuant to Clause 21.2(b) (Provision and contents of Compliance Certificate): (i) the ratio of (A) the aggregate of the total unconsolidated assets of the Guarantors excluding the Excluded Assets to (B) the consolidated total assets of the Group excluding Excluded Assets is greater than or equal to eighty-five per cent. (85%) and (ii) the ratio of (A) the unconsolidated aggregate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (calculated on the same basis as EBITDA is calculated but excluding the Excluded EBITDA Entries) of the Guarantors to (B) EBITDA of the Group excluding Excluded EBITDA Entries is greater than or equal to eighty-five per cent. (85%).

(b) For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, the consolidated total assets and EBITDA of the Group (i) may exclude the total assets and EBITDA of Subsidiaries with negative assets or negative EBITDA and (ii) shall exclude the total assets and EBITDA of all Subsidiaries which the Agent (acting reasonably) is satisfied are either not eligible (on the basis of the Agreed Security Principles) to be a Guarantor or over whose shares (on the basis of the Agreed Security Principles) no Security is required to be granted.

(i) any new guarantee is granted in favour of any holder or creditor of Pari Passu Indebtedness; or

(ii) any guarantee is amended on terms favourable to the holders or creditors of Pari Passu Indebtedness,

then, at the same time any such grant or amendment becomes effective, the Parent shall do all acts and deliver all documents as are necessary (including accessions pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Obligors)) to procure that the Finance Parties receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same new guarantee (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions) or receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same amended terms (as the case may be) in substance and form satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably).

(d) With respect to any guarantee granted or to be granted by any member of the Group pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) above, the obligation shall be subject always to the Agreed Security Principles.


			-111-

23.24 MFN to financial covenants and mandatory prepayments

(a) If at any time:

(i) any new financial covenant is put in place in favour of any holder or creditor of Pari Passu Indebtedness; or

(ii) the levels of any financial covenant in favour of the holders or creditors of Pari Passu Indebtedness are amended to become more stringent than the levels of the same or an equivalent financial covenant in favour of the Finance Parties under this Agreement,

then, at the same time any such financial covenant is put in place, becomes more stringent or such amendment becomes effective, the Parent shall do all acts and deliver all documents as are necessary (including entering into an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) to procure that the Finance Parties receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same financial covenants (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions and at substantially the same levels) (as the case may be) in substance and form satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably).

(b) If at any time:

(i) any new mandatory prepayment provision is put in place in favour of any holder or creditor of Pari Passu Indebtedness; or

(ii) any mandatory prepayment provision in favour of the holders or creditors of Pari Passu Indebtedness is or is amended to become more favourable than any mandatory prepayment provision in favour of the Finance Parties under this Agreement,

then, at the same time any such mandatory prepayment provision is put in place, or such amendment becomes effective, the Parent shall do all acts and deliver all documents as are necessary (including entering into an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) to procure that the Finance Parties receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same mandatory prepayment provisions (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions) (as the case may be) in substance and form satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably), it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the application of a premium or make-whole to the amount of a mandatory prepayment that, in each case, is customary for the relevant type of note or instrument will not be taken into account in determining whether or not the relevant mandatory prepayment is more favourable.

(c) For purposes of this Clause 23.24, the Agent may (without receiving any instructions from the Majority Lenders) agree with the Parent any documents as are necessary (including entering into an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) to procure that the Finance Parties receive the benefit of the same or substantially the same (i) financial covenants (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions and at substantially the same levels) (as the case


			-112-

may be) or (ii) mandatory prepayment provisions (on the same or substantially the same terms and conditions) (as the case may be).

under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or any insurance or reinsurance company or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender").

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

(ii) to the European Central Bank for refinancing purposes; or

(iii) following an Event of Default which is continuing.

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

			-119-

paragraph (d) shall not apply in relation to Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up), to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph 14.2(g)(i)(B) of Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.

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

			-120-

provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document; and

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

(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 25; or

(d) On the Transfer Date:

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

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;

(b) the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 30.6 (Partial payments).

(a) On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the 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 Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment


			-137-

(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); and

(b) that Recovering Finance Party's rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled, and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed.

(a) This Clause 29 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 29, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(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:

30.1 Payments to the Agent

(a) On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date not later than 1:00 p.m. 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. All payments received by the Agent after the above mentioned times, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 30.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 30.4 (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 Lender, 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 in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London.

30.3 Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 31 (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.

30.4 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.

(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 to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the relevant agent shall on demand refund the same 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.

30.5 Impaired Agent

(a) If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, then an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the relevant agent in accordance with Clause 30.1 (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 Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

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

30.6 Partial payments

(a) Subject to this Clause 30.6 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 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 Agent under those Finance Documents;

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

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

(iv) fourthly, 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 Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

(b) A repayment of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Utilisation or Unpaid Sum is denominated 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 when that interest accrued.

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

30.10 Change of currency

(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

(i) any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Borrowers and with the consent of each Lender); and

(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 and with the consent of each Lender).

(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 30.11; and

			-144-

32.2 Communication with Impaired Agent

If the Agent is an Impaired Agent, then the Parties other than the Impaired Agent may, instead of communicating with each other through the relevant agent, communicate with each other directly and (while the relevant agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Finance Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by the relevant agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant Parties directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement agent has been appointed.

32.3 Electronic communications

Notices and other communications to or by the Lenders or the Agent hereunder or in connection with any Finance Document may be delivered or furnished by electronic mail (including in unencrypted form) or other electronic means pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Clause (b) (Utilisation) if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Clause by electronic communication.

Unless an agent for a Finance Party otherwise prescribes, notices and other communications sent to an electronic mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return electronic mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

32.4 The Platform

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials or the adequacy of the platform, and expressly disclaim liability for errors in or omissions from the Borrower Materials. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any agent party in connection with the Borrower Materials or the platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the "Agent Parties") have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower's or the Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party


			-145-

have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

32.6 Reliance by the Agent and the Lenders

The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Utilisation Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower even if (a) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (b) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

32.7 Use of websites

(a) Each Borrower may satisfy its obligation under this Agreement to deliver any information in relation to those Lenders (the "Website Lenders") who accept this method of communication by posting this information onto an electronic website designated by the Borrowers and the Agent (the "Designated Website") if:

accordingly, and each Borrower shall at its own cost supply the information to the Agent (in sufficient copies for each Paper Form Lender) in paper form. In any event, each Borrower shall at its own cost supply the Agent with at least one copy in paper form of any information required to be provided by it.

(d) Any Website Lender may request, through the Agent, one paper copy of any information required to be provided under this Agreement which is posted onto the Designated Website. Each Borrower shall at its own cost comply with any such request within ten (10) Business Days.

36. REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

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

37. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

(b) The release of the Security referred to in paragraph (a) above shall not become effective until the date of that Permitted Disposal or such earlier date agreed between the Agent and the Parent.

It is understood however that following any such release, the provisions of Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease) shall continue with full force and effect and in the event that the relevant trigger conditions are met, the Parent shall again be obliged to procure the granting of Security in accordance with Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease).

SCHEDULE 9
AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1.1 The Security to be provided pursuant to Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease) of the Facilities Agreement will be given in accordance with these agreed security principles and the limitations set forth in Clauses 19.11 (Limitations on US guarantees) to 19.13 (German guarantee limitations) of the Facilities Agreement (the "Agreed Security Principles"). This Schedule addresses the manner in which the Agreed Security Principles will impact on the guarantees and Security proposed to be taken pursuant to Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease) of the Facilities Agreement or Clause 23.23 (Guarantor threshold test and Additional Guarantors) of the Facilities Agreement. Terms defined in Clause 23.22 (Further assurance and Security following Debt Ratings decrease) of the Facilities Agreement or Clause 23.23 (Guarantor threshold test and Additional Guarantors) of the Facilities Agreement shall have the same meaning where used in this Schedule.

1.2 The Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees and security from members of the Group in the relevant jurisdictions of incorporation. In particular:

(a) general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, tax restrictions or costs, retention of title claims and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide Security or any guarantee or may require that the Security or guarantee be limited by an amount or otherwise;

(b) a key factor in determining whether or not Security shall be taken or the extent of its perfection is the applicable cost (including but not limited to adverse effects on interest deductibility and stamp duty, notarisation and registration fees) which shall not be disproportionate to the benefit to the Lenders of obtaining such Security. In particular, the Parties acknowledge that Imposta Sostitutiva pursuant to article 15 and subsequent of Italian Presidential Decree No. 601/1973 as amended and supplemented from time to time will not be available with respect to the Agreement. Accordingly, Security that requires payment of an ad valorem registration tax on the amount of the Secured obligations will not be taken subject to paragraph (c) below;

(c) the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fee, taxes and duties;

(d) where there is material incremental cost involved in creating Security over assets owned by an Obligor in a particular category the principle stated at paragraph 1.2(b) above shall apply and, subject to the Agreed Security


			-192-

Principles, only the material assets in that category shall be subject to Security;

(e) it is acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions it may be either impossible or impractical to create Security over certain categories of assets in which event Security will not be taken over such assets;

(f) any assets subject to third party arrangements which may prevent those assets from being charged will be excluded from any relevant Security Document; provided that such third party arrangements are permitted under this Agreement and provided further that the consent of that third party has been requested. In particular, in certain circumstances, the granting of Security over the shares of a member of the Group which holds a gaming license or concession will require the prior consent of the relevant gaming or licensing authority. No guarantee or assurance can be given in such respect;

(g) members of the Group will not be required to enter into Security Documents or guarantees if the same would conflict with the fiduciary duties of the directors (or other officers) of the relevant member of the Group or contravene any legal prohibition or would result in (or in a material risk of) personal or criminal liability on the part of any director (or other officer) of any member of the Group; provided that the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;

(h) members of the Group will not be required to enter into Security Documents or guarantees if the same would conflict with the terms of any applicable shareholder agreements or if the granting of the relevant Security or guarantee would be prohibited for regulatory reasons;

(i) no Joint Venture shall be required to become a Guarantor nor shall any member of the Group be required to grant Security over any interest in any Joint Venture;

(j) the granting of Security or the perfection of the Security granted will not be required if it would restrict the ability of the relevant member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Finance Documents. Accordingly, no Security shall be granted over bank accounts or insurance policies of members of the Group;

(k) to the extent possible and without prejudice to the rights of the Finance Parties, all Security shall be given in favour of a security agent and not the Finance Parties individually; "Parallel debt" provisions will be used where necessary, subject to applicable law. Where Security is granted in respect of more than one instrument or category of creditor of Pari Passu Indebtedness, there shall be a single security agent or trustee appointed in respect of each relevant Security Document and customary intercreditor arrangements shall be entered into between the relevant creditors of the Pari Passu Indebtedness setting out, inter alia, a common waterfall on enforcement and customary security agent or trustee protections; and


			-193-

(l) with regard to Security over any intercompany notes, the fact they are secured shall not prevent the relevant debtors from repaying or prepaying or otherwise discharging the relevant outstandings at any time prior to the taking of any action pursuant to Clause 24.16 (Acceleration) of the Facilities Agreement.

1.3 The Parent need only perform its obligations to procure that any other member of the Group becomes an Additional Guarantor or to procure the granting of Security over its shares or other ownership interests if: (i) it is not unlawful for the relevant person to become a Guarantor and that person becoming a Guarantor would not result in personal liability for that person's directors or other management, and (ii) the guarantee would have some economic value having regard to corporate benefit and other relevant restrictions applicable to the person granting the guarantee. Each Obligor must use, and must procure that the relevant person uses, all reasonable endeavours lawfully available to avoid any such unlawfulness or personal liability. This includes agreeing to a limit on the amount guaranteed. The Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) agree to such a limit if, in its opinion, to do so would avoid the relevant unlawfulness or personal liability. The Agent and the relevant Additional Guarantor (each acting reasonably and on the basis of the advice of their respective local counsel) may agree to other limitations for the purpose of avoiding any obstacle to the grating of an additional guarantee.

2. TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

2.1 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any Security taken:

(a) Security will not be enforceable until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration has been given by the Agent under this Agreement;

(b) the Security Documents should only operate to create Security rather than to impose new commercial obligations; accordingly, they should not contain additional representations, warranties, undertaking and indemnities, unless these are (i) required to be included in any Security Document for the validity and enforceability of the Security Documents or (ii) are the same as or consistent with those contained in this Agreement;

(c) until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration has been given by the Agent under this Agreement, pledgors of shares in Obligors shall be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares pledged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the Obligors shall be permitted to pay dividends on pledged shares to the pledgors and the pledgors shall be entitled to retain such dividends to the extent permitted under this Agreement;

(d) any accounts receivable which, if charged, such charge would be prohibited by anti-assignment provisions of contracts or applicable law or would breach the terms of any contract relating to such accounts receivable or would be a default or event of default under the relevant contract or entitle the counterparty to the relevant contract a right to terminate the relevant contract


			-194-

will be excluded from any relevant Security Document; provided that the consent of that counterparty has been sought;

(e) notification to debtors of Security over accounts receivable will only be given if an Event of Default has occurred and notice of an acceleration has been given by the Agent under this Agreement;

(f) security over any loan or note intercompany receivables will be perfected upon execution of the Security Document either by virtue of notification to debtors or by acknowledgement in writing by such debtor (as may be required by local law to perfect such Security) subject to no adverse tax consequences;

(g) the Finance Parties should only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to them under the Security Documents following the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of which notice of acceleration has been given by the Agent under this Agreement or material failure to comply with a written request to fulfil a further assurance or perfection obligation;

(h) the Security Documents shall not operate so as to prevent transactions which are permitted under this Agreement or to require additional consents or authorisations;

(i) unless the restriction is required by law, the constitutional documents of the Obligors whose shares have been pledged will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the shares on enforcement of the Security granted over them. If the pledging of shares of an Obligor under the Agreed Security Principles or this Agreement requires the prior consent of any gaming or licensing authority ("Gaming Authorities"), including, without limitation, the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the Nevada Pledge, the Parent shall use its commercial reasonable efforts to receive within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof or of this Agreement, as applicable, the approval or consent of the requisite Gaming Authorities of such pledge and, if applicable, any amendment of the Nevada Pledge; provided that such one hundred and eighty (180) day period shall be extended by an additional ninety (90) days so long as within sixty (60) days after the effective date thereof or of this Agreement, the Parent has filed with the appropriate Gaming Authorities all applications required to obtain such approval or consent; and

(j) it is agreed that no member of the Group that is:

(i) a controlled foreign corporation for US federal income tax purposes shall be required to accede as an Additional Guarantor hereunder or to have any of its stock or other equity interests pledged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; or
