10 Invalidity

If any provision in this Agreement or part thereof shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any enactment or rule of law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement but the legality, validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.

11 Further Assurance

At any time after the date of this Agreement each party shall, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that any necessary third party shall, execute such documents and do

9

such acts and things as the other party may reasonably require for the purpose of giving to that other party the full benefit of all the provisions of this Agreement.

12 Waiver

No failure of either party to exercise and no delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy in connection with this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, powers or remedies (whether provided by law or otherwise). Any express waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.

13 Assignment

13.1 Except as provided in Clause 13.2 or Clause 13.3 below or unless specifically agreed in writing by all of the parties to this Agreement, no person shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Clause 13 shall be null and void.

13.2 Either Investor Party (a “Transferor”) may novate all, but not some only, of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement (a “Transfer”) to a person (a “Permitted Transferee”) who either:

	13.2.1		is a wholly owned subsidiary of either (i) that Transferor; or (ii) is a parent company of that Transferor who wholly owns (directly or indirectly) that Transferor;
	13.2.2		in the case of CPI (and its successors in title and assigns), is Citigroup Inc. or a company of which 75 per cent. or more of the then issued share capital is owned (directly or indirectly) by Citigroup Inc; or
	13.2.3		in the case of Gazit (and its successors in title and assigns), is a company of which 75 per cent. or more of the then issued share capital is owned (directly or indirectly) by Gazit,

provided that if a Permitted Transferee of a Transferor ceases to be connected with that Transferor (other than solely by reason of such Transferor ceasing to exist) such that the Transfer would no longer be permitted under this Clause 13.2 were it to occur after such connection had ceased, the Permitted Transferee shall, and (if it still exists) the Transferor shall procure that the Permitted Transferee shall, effect a Transfer to another Permitted Transferee of the Transferor as soon as reasonably practicable after such connection has ceased.

13.3 It is acknowledged and agreed by Atrium that the Investor Parties may at any time transfer rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of such Investor Party or any bank or financial institution that provides facilities to each of the Investor Parties or acts as facility agent and/or security trustee or security agent by way of security for the indebtedness of each of the Investor Parties incurred in connection with the initial investment in Atrium or the transaction documented by the Master Transaction Agreement. If the benefit of the whole or any part of this agreement is assigned by

10

an Investor Party to any Affiliate in accordance with this Clause 13.3 such Affiliate may at any time assign the same to any other Affiliate of that Investor Party and where any such original or subsequent assignee subsequently ceases to be an Affiliate of the Investor Party the Investor Party shall procure that before it so ceases it shall assign that benefit to the Investor Party or to another continuing Affiliate of the Investor Party.

13.4 If an assignment is made in accordance with this Clause 13, the liabilities of Atrium to the Investor Parties under this Agreement shall be no greater than such liabilities would have been if the assignment had not occurred.

14 Whole agreement

This Agreement supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between the parties in relation to the matters dealt with in this Agreement and contains the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement at the date hereof to the exclusion of any terms implied by law which may be excluded by contract.

15 Variation

No variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties.

16 Counterparts

This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any party may enter into this Agreement by executing any such counterpart.

17 Governing Law and Arbitration

17.1 This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, English law.

17.2 If any dispute, controversy or claim arises out of or in connection with this Agreement including the breach, termination or invalidity thereof (a “Dispute”), any party may serve formal written notice on any other party that a Dispute has arisen (a “Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute shall describe the material points of the Dispute in sufficient detail to enable the parties to reach an amicable settlement pursuant to the procedure set out in the remaining provisions of this Clause 17.

17.3 Following the service of a Notice of Dispute, the relevant parties shall use all reasonable efforts to settle such Dispute amicably through negotiations between their respective authorised representatives within a period of 30 days starting from the date of receipt of the Notice of Dispute by the receiving party or parties. The relevant parties may by agreement extend such 30 day period and take all such other steps as they agree will assist them in reaching an amicable settlement of the Dispute, including the joint appointment of a mediator.

11

	17.4		If the Dispute is not resolved by the signing of written terms of settlement by authorised representatives of each of the relevant parties within such 30 day period, then the Dispute shall be referred, by any of the relevant parties, to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with those Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Paris. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
	17.5		The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding or any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any documents disclosed by one party to another, testimony or other oral submission and any awards or decisions) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their legal and professional advisers, and any person necessary for the conduct of the arbitration, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise.
	17.6		Nothing in this Clause 17 shall prevent any party from applying to any competent judicial authority for interim or conservatory measures at any time consistent with the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC.
