5.2

Issue of CEDC Common Stock

5.2.1

In consideration of the Holdcos granting to Cayman 7 the Cayman 7 Call Options, CEDC shall, subject to the Holdcos not having exercised the Holdco Put Option:

in each case subject to adjustment as per Clause 8.3.4.

5.2.2

Until the 2009 Shares, the 2010 Shares and the 2012 Shares (together, the “Consideration Shares”) have been issued pursuant to Clause 5.2.1:

(a)

Mergers or Consolidations. If at any time after the date hereof until all of the Consideration Shares have been issued pursuant to Clause 5.2.1, there

shall be a capital reorganisation (other than a combination or subdivision of CEDC Common Stock otherwise provided for herein) resulting in a reclassification to or change in the Consideration Shares (a “Reorganisation”), or a merger or consolidation of CEDC with another Person (other than a merger with another Person in which CEDC is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change in the Consideration Shares or a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of CEDC) (a “Merger”) or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of CEDC (a “Disposal”), then, as a part of such Reorganisation, Merger or Disposal, lawful provision and adjustment shall be made so that the Holdcos shall thereafter be entitled to receive in respect of any unissued Consideration Shares, pursuant to Clause 5.2.1 and at the times provided for and subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, the number of shares of stock or any other equity or debt securities or property to which the Holdcos would have been entitled upon consummation of the Reorganisation, Merger or Disposal if the Holdcos had received all such unissued Consideration Shares immediately prior to such Reorganisation, Merger or Disposal. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of Clause 5.2.1 with respect to the rights and interests of the Holdcos after the Reorganisation, Merger or Disposal to the end that the provisions of Clause 5.2.1 and Clause 5.2.2 shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities, property or other assets thereafter deliverable pursuant to Clause 5.2.1. CEDC will not effect any Reorganisation, Merger or Disposal unless prior to the consummation thereof each corporation or entity (other than CEDC) which may be required to deliver any securities or other property pursuant to Clause 5.2.1 as provided herein shall assume in a written agreement the obligation to deliver to the Holdcos such securities or other property as (in accordance with the foregoing provisions) the Holdcos may be entitled to receive and agreeing and confirming that the provisions of Clause 5.2.1 shall continue in full force and effect, enforceable against CEDC and such corporation or entity in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof. The foregoing provisions of this Clause 5.2.2(a) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganisations, Mergers and Disposals.

(b)

Splits and Subdivisions; Dividends. In the event CEDC should at any time or from time to time (i) effectuate a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of CEDC Common Stock, (ii) pay a dividend in or make a distribution payable in additional shares of CEDC Common Stock or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of CEDC Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”), or (iii) issue by reclassification of CEDC Common Stock any other capital stock of CEDC, in each case without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of CEDC Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of CEDC Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of the applicable record date (or the date of such distribution, split, subdivision or reclassification if no record date is fixed), the number of unissued Consideration Shares shall be appropriately increased in proportion to such increase (or potential increase) of outstanding shares; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made in the event the split, subdivision, dividend, distribution or reclassification is not effectuated. The adjustment pursuant to this Clause 5.2.2(b) shall be made successively each time that any event listed in this Clause 5.2.2(b) above shall occur.

(c)

Combination of Shares. If the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination or reverse split of the outstanding shares of CEDC Common Stock, the number of shares of unissued Consideration Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares as at the effective date of such combination or reverse split; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made in the event such combination or reverse split is not effectuated.

(d)

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions. If CEDC shall distribute to holders of CEDC Common Stock (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, or any other properties or securities (other than any dividend or distribution described in Clause 5.2.2(b)) or (ii) any options, warrants, or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing (other than any rights, options, warrants, or securities described below), that, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) together, aggregate on a rolling twelve-month basis to a Fair Market Value per share of CEDC Common Stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the declaration of such distribution (the “FMV Date”) that exceeds 3% of the Fair Market Value of one share of CEDC Common Stock on the FMV Date, then in each such case the number of unissued Consideration Shares shall be increased in each case to the number obtained by multiplying (A) the number of unissued Consideration Shares, before such adjustment, and (B) the quotient of (1) the Fair Market Value of one share of CEDC Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the CEDC Common Stock trades regular way without the right to receive such distribution, divided by (2) the Fair Market Value calculated in clause (1) minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of any evidences of indebtedness, other property or securities, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the foregoing so distributed in respect of one share of CEDC Common Stock. In the event that such distribution is not so made, then no such adjustment to the number of unissued Consideration Shares shall be made pursuant to this Clause 5.2.2(d). Notwithstanding anything in this Clause 5.2.2(d) to the contrary, no adjustment to the number of unissued Consideration Shares shall be made pursuant to this Clause 5.2.2(d) as a result of the issuance or other sale by CEDC of any of its shares of CEDC Common Stock upon (A) the conversion or exchange of any of CEDC’s preferred stock, warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities, provided, such preferred stock, warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, (B) the grant or exercise of any stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other forms of stock or stock-based rights granted to officers, directors or employees of CEDC pursuant to a stock option plan, benefit plan or incentive plan of CEDC, whether in effect as of the date of this Agreement or approved by the Board of Directors of CEDC after the date of this Agreement, or (C) the grant or issuance of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan.

(e)

Certain Issuances.

(i) Without duplication of any other items contained in this Agreement, if at any time or from time to time CEDC shall issue (A) CEDC Common Stock at a price per share that is lower at the date of such issuance than 85% of either, at CEDC’s sole election, (x) the closing sale price of one share of CEDC Common Stock on the date of such issuance on and as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the CEDC Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or, if the CEDC Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, as determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by resolution of the Board of Directors of CEDC, based on the best information available to it and (if requested by the Holdcos) having engaged an independent appraiser in such regard (the “Closing Price”), or (y) the volume weighted average trading price of one share of CEDC Common Stock on and as reported by the principal securities exchange on which the CEDC Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of such issuance, or, if the CEDC Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the fair market value of one share of CEDC Common Stock as determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by resolution of the Board of Directors of CEDC, based on the best information available to it and (if requested by the Holdcos) having engaged an independent appraiser in such regard (the “30-Day FMV”) or (B) rights, options, or warrants for, or securities convertible or exchangeable into, CEDC Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of CEDC Common Stock at a price per share that is lower at the date of such issuance than 85% of either, at CEDC’s sole election, the Closing Price or the 30-Day FMV, then the number of unissued Consideration Shares thereafter issuable pursuant to Clause 5.2.1 shall be determined by multiplying the number of then unissued Consideration Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities (assuming the exercise or conversion of all then outstanding rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities) plus the number of additional shares of CEDC Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which such securities are convertible or exchangeable, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities (assuming the exercise or conversion of all then outstanding rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities) plus the total number of shares of CEDC Common Stock that could be purchased with the aggregate consideration received through issuance of such Common Stock, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities at either, at CEDC’s sole election, the Closing Price or the 30-Day FMV. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such shares of CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities are issued and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the date on which such Persons became entitled to receive such shares of CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities.

(ii) This Clause 5.2.2(e) shall not apply to issuances of CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities resulting from or in connection with:

(A) the conversion or exchange of any of CEDC’s preferred stock, warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities, provided, such preferred stock, warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or were issued in connection with a transaction not covered by Clause 5.2.2(e)(i)(B),

(B) the grant or exercise of any stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other forms of stock or stock-based rights granted to officers, directors or employees of CEDC pursuant to a stock option plan, benefit plan or incentive plan of CEDC, whether in effect as of the date of this Agreement or approved by the Board of Directors of CEDC after the date of this Agreement,

(D) this Agreement,

(E) the issuance or exercise of any of the Warrants,

(F) a Merger, Reorganization or Disposal, or

(G) the grant or issuance of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan.

(iii) If any CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities are issued together with other obligations or securities, then an allocation shall be made of the aggregate consideration received as between such CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, on the one hand, and such other obligations or securities, on the other hand (as determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Board of Directors of CEDC, whose determination shall be evidenced by a board resolution, a copy of which will be sent to the Holdcos upon request), to determine a price per share for such CEDC Common Stock, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities for the purposes of this Clause 5.2.2(e). This Clause 5.2.2(e) shall apply with equal force and effect to any amendment, revision, adjustment, or other modification of the terms of any outstanding rights, options, or warrants for, or securities convertible or exchangeable into, CEDC Common Stock if and to the extent that such amendment, revision, adjustment, or other modification has the effect of allowing the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of CEDC Common Stock at a price per share that is lower at the date of such modification than 85% of either, at CEDC’s sole election, the Closing Price or the 30-Day FMV, subject to the provisions of Clause 5.2.2(e)(ii). No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Clause 5.2.2(e) that would have the effect of decreasing the number of unissued Consideration Shares.

(f)

Superseding Adjustment. Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges that resulted in any

adjustment pursuant to this Clause 5.2.2, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the number of unissued Consideration Shares shall be readjusted as if (i) the only shares of CEDC Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges were the shares of CEDC Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges and (ii) shares of CEDC Common Stock actually issued, if any, were issuable for the consideration actually received by CEDC upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by CEDC for the issuance, sale, or grant of all such rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no such readjustment shall (except by reason of an intervening adjustment under Clause 5.2.2(b)) have the effect of decreasing the number of unissued Consideration Shares by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment to such number of unissued Consideration Shares initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion or exchange privileges.

(g)

No Duplication. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Clause 5.2.2, no single event shall result in an adjustment to the number of unissued Consideration Shares under more than one of the subsections set forth in Clause 5.2.2 so as to result in duplication.

5.3

All shares of CEDC Common Stock issued under this Agreement and all shares of CEDC Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be issued as fully paid up and free from Encumbrances and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations set out in the Registration Rights Agreement.

5.4

Where CEDC issues shares of CEDC Common Stock or the Warrants under Clause 5 or Clause 8 of this Agreement, such issues shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of Cayman 7 and Cayman 7 agrees to issue Partnership Interests (as defined under the Limited Partnership Agreement) to CEDC equal to the fair market value (as at the date of such issue of CEDC Common Stock or Warrants) of such shares of CEDC Common Stock and Warrants so issued.

6	ANTITRUST OBLIGATIONS

6.1

The right of Cayman 7 to exercise (i) any Cayman 7 Call Option (the “Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option”) the completion of which would give CEDC the right to exercise control rights in respect of the Company, which rights would require an Antitrust Approval; and (ii) any subsequent Cayman 7 Call Options, shall be subject, in each case, to such Antitrust Approval being received. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date of the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option has been amended in accordance with Clause 3.1.5, such that it falls on the same date as the Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date of any other Cayman 7 Call Option(s), then the exercise of such other Cayman 7 Call Option(s) shall not be subject to such Antitrust Approval being received.

6.2

If such a required Antitrust Approval has not been received prior to the Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date of the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option as such date may be amended in accordance with this Agreement except by operation of this Clause 6 (the “Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date”), Cayman 7 shall be obligated to pay to the Holdcos in cash:

if the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date occurs after 31 December 2011, the lower of $42.5 million, and the Antitrust Adjustment Payment,

in each case, on the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date. Such payment will be allocated between the Holdcos in the Holdco Sharing Proportions.

6.3

If Antitrust Approval is subsequently received after the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date, the Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date of the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option, and any other Cayman 7 Call Options delayed in accordance with the provision of this Clause 6, shall be deemed to be the date falling 60 days after the date of receipt of Antitrust Approval and all remaining Cayman 7 Call Options shall once again be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

6.4

The $ Initial Cash Amounts payable to Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 in relation to the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option shall be reduced by the amount actually received in accordance with Clause 6.2, allocated between the Holdcos in the Holdco Sharing Proportions.

Where the exercise by Cayman 7 of any Cayman 7 Call Option is delayed due to the failure to obtain Antitrust Approval, the Initial Cash Amounts payable following the exercise of such Cayman 7 Call Option shall be increased by an amount equal to interest accruing thereon at an annual rate of 8 per cent. from the relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date before the application of Clauses 6.1 and 6.3 until the relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date following the application of Clauses 6.1 and 6.3

6.6

If Antitrust Approval is not subsequently received after the Relevant Cayman 7 Call Option Exercise Date, and an Exit is undertaken, then Cayman 7 shall, from the proceeds received from such Exit, pay to the Holdcos within 30 days of such Exit, an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Antitrust Adjustment Payment under Clause 6.2 exceeds the amounts paid by Cayman 7 to the Holdcos pursuant to Clause 6.2. Such payment will be allocated between the Holdcos in the Holdco Sharing Proportions, and shall in no circumstance exceed the aggregate Exit proceeds received by Cayman 7 net of any fees, costs or expenses incurred by Cayman 7 with regard to such Exit.

Clause 7.1.4 shall continue to be applied until the amount of all outstanding $ Initial Cash Amounts that have not been paid due to the operation of this Clause 7.1, and the number of all shares of CEDC Common Stock issuable pursuant to Clause 5 hereof that have not been issued due to the operation of this Clause 7.1, have been reduced to zero.

Cayman 7 shall have the right, at the direction of CEDC only (and Cayman 7 shall so exercise such right at the direction of CEDC), to acquire some or all of the Initial Seller Party Securities (the “Elective Minority Purchase”), subject to the Initial Seller Parties agreeing to the terms of such an Elective Minority Purchase and also the Company consenting to the transfer of the Initial Seller Party Securities under the terms of the Lux 1 Shareholders Agreement which consent shall be given subject to the following conditions:

9.1.1

that the existing pledges over the Initial Seller Party Securities given as security for the obligations of Cirey Holdings, Inc. under the Original Sale Agreement will be replaced with substitute security which is satisfactory to Cyprus 1, acting reasonably;

9.1.2

that, to the extent that any consent, amendment or waiver is required from any person who is a party to any Finance Documents, such consent, amendment or waiver is duly obtained (and the Parties shall use their reasonable commercial endeavours to obtain such consents, and shall consult with each other in relation thereto);

9.1.3

that Cayman 7 shall pledge the Initial Seller Party Securities acquired to the Holdcos on substantially the same terms as the Cayman 7 Pledge; and

9.1.4

such Elective Minority Purchase is completed no later than the Final Discharge Date.

10	WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

10.1

Cayman 4 warrants to Cayman 7 that:

10.1.1

as of the date of this Agreement, Cayman 4 is the sole owner of the Ordinary Shares which are free from Encumbrances; and

10.1.2

as at the dates of completion of the transfers of any of the Ordinary Shares to Cayman 7 pursuant to this Agreement, Cayman 4 will be the sole owner of the Ordinary Shares being transferred to Cayman 7 and such Ordinary Shares will, save for the Holdco Pledges, be free from Encumbrances.

10.2

Cayman 5 warrants to Cayman 7 that:

10.2.1

as of the date of this Agreement, Cayman 5 is the sole owner of the Preference Shares which are free from Encumbrances; and

10.2.2

as at the dates of completion of the transfers of any of the Preference Shares to Cayman 7 pursuant to this Agreement, Cayman 5 will be the sole owner of the Preference Shares being transferred to Cayman 7 and such Preference Shares will, save for the Holdco Pledges, be free from Encumbrances.

10.3

Cayman 7 warrants to the Holdcos that as at the date of completion of the transfer of any shares from Cayman 7 to the Holdcos pursuant to this Agreement, Cayman 7 will be the sole owner of the shares being transferred by it to the Holdcos and such shares will, save for the Cayman 7 Pledge, be free from Encumbrances.

10.4

CEDC represents and warrants to the Holdcos that, as of the date hereof, the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and any other Transaction Document is equal to or less than the sum of (a) the number of authorized but unissued shares of CEDC Common Stock and (b) the number of treasury shares of CEDC Common Stock, in each case that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the shares of the capital stock of CEDC (other than under the Transaction Documents) on the date hereof (such shares, the “Available Shares”).

10.5

If CEDC shall not have delivered the full number of shares of CEDC Common Stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document as a result of CEDC not having sufficient authorized but unissued shares of CEDC Common Stock available at the time or times that the relevant rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is exercised (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), CEDC shall use reasonable efforts to promptly authorize unissued shares of CEDC Common Stock sufficient to issue the full number of the Deficit Shares and to issue and deliver such Deficit Shares thereafter. In any event CEDC shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, shares of CEDC Common Stock when, and to the extent, that:

(i)

shares of CEDC Common Stock are subsequently repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by CEDC or any of its subsidiaries (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration);

(ii)

authorized and unissued shares of CEDC Common Stock reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions become no longer so reserved; or

(iii)

CEDC additionally authorizes any unissued shares of CEDC Common Stock.

10.6

CEDC shall promptly notify the Holdcos of the occurrence of any of the events described in Clause 10.5(i), 10.5(ii) or 10.5(iii)) (including the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock subject to Clause 10.5(i), 10.5(ii) or 10.5(iii) and the corresponding number of shares of CEDC Common Stock to be delivered) and promptly deliver such shares of Common Stock thereafter. Except as contemplated in the Transaction Documents, CEDC shall not take any action to decrease the number of Available Shares below the number of shares of CEDC Common Stock which are required to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

11	CEDC GUARANTEE

11.1

CEDC, as primary obligor, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, by way of continuing guarantee to the Holdcos, the payment and performance by Cayman 7, when due, of all amounts and obligations under this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all such amounts and obligations have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full.

11.2

This guarantee shall be in addition to and independent of all other security which the Holdcos may hold from time to time in respect of the discharge and performance by Cayman 7 of the Guaranteed Obligations.

11.3

CEDC’s obligations under this Clause 11:

11.3.1

constitute direct, primary and unconditional obligations to pay on demand by the Holdcos any sum which Cayman 7 is liable to pay under this Agreement and to perform on demand any obligation of Cayman 7 under this Agreement without requiring the Holdcos first to take any steps against Cayman 7 or any other Person; and

11.3.2

shall not be affected by any matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to affect or prejudice those obligations, including:

(a)

any time or indulgence granted to, or composition with, Cayman 7 or any other Person; or

(b)

any amendment of this Agreement; or

(c)

the taking, variation, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce, any right, remedy or security against Cayman 7 or any other Person; or

(d)

any legal limitation, disability or other circumstance relating to Cayman 7 or any unenforceability or invalidity of any obligation of Cayman 7 under this Agreement.

12	DEFAULT

12.1

If upon expiry of the Outstanding Consideration Payment Notice Period, Cayman 7 has not discharged in full its obligations to pay the Outstanding Consideration, Cayman 7 shall be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement to satisfy the Outstanding Consideration (an “Enforcement Event”) and the Holdcos shall, without prejudice to any other rights they may have under this Agreement or at law, be entitled to enforce their rights under the Cayman 7 Pledge in addition to the exercise of their rights under Clause 11.

12.2

The Holdcos shall, notwithstanding the term of the Holdco Put Option Period at Clause 3.2.1, be entitled to immediately exercise the Holdco Put Option (and subsequently the Holdco Call Option) if at any time prior to the Final Discharge Date:

12.2.1

a CEDC Finance Default occurs, provided that CEDC shall have the right to provide a Bank Guarantee in favour of the Holdcos in respect of the maximum amount of all of its future cash obligations under the Transaction Documents within five Business Days of the occurrence of a CEDC Finance Default and for as long as the Bank Guarantee remains in force, the Holdcos shall not be entitled by operation of this Clause 12.2.1 alone, to exercise the Holdco Put Option;

12.2.2

CEDC has failed to issue shares of CEDC Common Stock under this Agreement, and CEDC has not remedied such failure within five Business Days (or such other period as the Parties may agree) following the date on which such obligations arose;

12.2.3

there is a Security Impairment Event;

12.2.4

CEDC (in its capacity of Controlling Party or Minority Party, as the case may be, as both terms are defined in the Governance and Shareholders Agreement) is in material breach of a material obligation under the Governance and Shareholders Agreement, and such breach has remained unremedied for 60 days and has not been waived by the relevant Lion Parties (as defined in the Governance and Shareholders Agreement) thereunder;

12.2.5

CEDC is the Controlling Party (as defined in the Governance and Shareholders Agreement), and there is a breach of the obligation to obtain Minority Consent (as defined in the Governance and Shareholders Agreement) when required and such breach has remained unremedied for 45 days;

12.2.6

there is a Change of Control of CEDC or of any ultimate Holding Company of CEDC (save that the Holdcos shall only be entitled to exercise the Holdco Put Option for the period of 60 days following the occurrence of such event);

12.2.7

payment of those amounts due under Clause 6.2 are not made within 30 days of their falling due; or

12.2.8

as a result of any act or omission by CEDC, Cayman 7 breaches its obligations under Clause 8.6.2 to make an Advance Payment, subject to Cayman 7 being afforded 15 days from the date such breach arises to remedy such breach.

12.3

Holdco Default

If, at any time prior to the Final Discharge Date, the Holdcos are in breach of their obligations under this Agreement to transfer Shares to Cayman 7, Cayman 7 shall be entitled to enforce its rights under the Holdco Pledge, but only in relation to those Shares in respect of which the Holdcos are in breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement to have transferred to Cayman 7.

13	SECURITY

13.1

As security for Cayman 7’s obligations under this Agreement, Cayman 7 shall pledge all shares in the Company held by Cayman 7 from time to time in favour of the Holdcos on the terms of the Cayman 7 Pledge (the “Security Assets”). The Cayman 7 Pledge shall be released by the Holdcos only on the Final Discharge Date.

13.2

As security for the Holdcos’ obligations under this Agreement the Holdcos shall pledge all Shares held by the Holdcos from time to time in favour of Cayman 7 on the terms of the Holdco Pledge.

13.3

Cayman 7 undertakes to grant to the Holdcos additional security, on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Holdcos, in respect of any assets held by Cayman 7 from time to time and not subject to the Cayman 7 Pledge.

14	US TAX COMPLIANCE

14.1

The parties to this Agreement agree to treat the Cayman 7 Call Option and the Holdco Put Option as an instrument treated in accordance with section 1275 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, issued by Cayman 7 Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 in exchange for all shares of the Company held by each of Cayman 4 and Cayman 5 in an installment sale solely for US Tax purposes. The Parties shall consistently report, for all US Tax purposes, the transactions contemplated herein in the manner described in this Clause 14.

14.2

To the extent permissible under applicable GAAP, the Parties agree to treat the transactions contemplated under this Agreement as a sale of the Company.

14.3

Cayman 7 shall keep a register of the option and holders of Shares for purposes of complying with the US Portfolio Interest provisions of Section 871(h) and/or 881(c) of the Code.

15	ASSIGNMENT

No Party will be entitled to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement or any document referred to in it without the prior written consent of the other parties.

16	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, and the documents referred to in it in agreed form together constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in relation to the matters the subject thereto and supersede any previous agreement between the Parties (whether written or oral) in relation to all or any of such matters and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, excludes any representation, warranty, condition or other undertaking implied at law or by custom other than where expressly contained in this Agreement, provided that nothing in this Clause 16 shall exclude a Party from liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

17	VARIATION

Any variation of this Agreement must be in a written document and signed by each Party or a duly authorised officer or representative of each Party and where any such document exists and is so signed such Party shall not allege that the same is not binding by virtue of an absence of consideration.

18	WAIVER

18.1

A delay in exercising, or failure to exercise, any right or remedy under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such or other rights or remedies nor shall operate so as to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall prevent further or other exercise of such or other rights or remedies.

18.2

No waiver by any Party of any requirement of this Agreement, or of any remedy or right under this Agreement, shall have effect unless given in writing and signed by such Party.

18.3

The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

19	ILLEGALITY AND SEVERANCE

19.1

The provisions contained in each Clause of this Agreement shall be enforceable independently of the others and the invalidity of any one provision shall not affect the validity of the others.

19.2

If a provision of this Agreement is, or but for this Clause 19 would be, held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in the jurisdiction to which it pertains but would be legal, valid and enforceable if part of the provision was deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable in that jurisdiction, and any such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render invalid or unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

19.3

If a provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part and Clause 19.2 cannot be used to make it legal, valid and enforceable, a Party may require the other Parties to enter into a new agreement or deed under which those Parties undertake in the terms of the original provision, but subject to such amendments as the first Party specifies in order to make the provision legal, valid and enforceable. No Party will be obliged to enter into a new agreement or deed that would increase its liability beyond that contained in this Agreement, had all its provisions been legal, valid and enforceable.

20	RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

20.1

A Party who is not a Party to this Agreement has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 or otherwise to enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from such Act. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be binding upon and enure solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

21	COUNTERPARTS
