in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase:

(d)

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment is assumed by an Existing Lender, the Increase Lender shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee in an amount equal to the fee which would be payable under Clause 24.5 (Assignment or transfer fee) if the increase was a transfer pursuant to Clause 24.7 (Procedure for transfers) and if the Increase Lender was a New Lender.

(b)

Any branch or Affiliate nominated by a Lender to participate in a Loan shall:

(i)

participate therein in compliance with the terms of this Agreement;

The Borrower shall not be liable to pay (i) any amount otherwise required to be paid by the Borrower under Clause 14 (Taxes) or Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) (arising as a result of laws or regulations in force or known to be coming into force on the date the relevant branch or Affiliate was nominated) or (ii) any cash repayment of a Loan to the extent that paragraph (b) of Clause 6.3 (Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans) would otherwise apply to such Loan, in each case in excess of the amount it would have been obliged to pay if that Lender had not nominated its branch or Affiliate to participate in the Facility or, to the extent that such Lender nominated such branch or Affiliate for particular Loans in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Party, in excess of the amount which it would have been obliged to pay had that Xxxxxx continued to make only those particular Loans through that branch or Affiliate. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company of the Tax jurisdiction from which its branch or Affiliate will participate in the relevant Loans and such other information regarding that branch or Affiliate as the Company may reasonably request.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(f)

Any notice or communication to be made to a branch or an Affiliate of a Lender pursuant to Clause 32 (Notices):

(i)

may be served directly upon the branch or Affiliate, at the address supplied to the Agent by the nominating Lender pursuant to its nomination of such branch or Affiliate, where the Lender or the relevant branch or Affiliate requests this in order to mitigate any legal obligation to deduct Tax from any payment to such branch or Affiliate or any payment obligation which might otherwise arise pursuant to Clause 14 (Taxes) or Clause 15 (Increased Costs); or

(ii)

in any other circumstance, may be delivered to the Facility Office of the Lender, who will act as the representative of any Affiliate it nominates for all administrative purposes under this Agreement.

(g)

(i)

will be treated as having a single Commitment (being the Commitment of that Lender) but for all other purposes (other than those referred to in paragraphs (c) and (f)(i) above and sub-paragraph (ii) below) will be treated as separate Lenders; and

(ii)

will be regarded as a single Lender for the purpose of:

(A)

voting in relation to any matter in connection with a Finance Document; and

compliance with Clause 24.2 (Assignments and Transfers by Xxxxxxx).

(j)

Upon such Designated Affiliate ceasing to be a Designated Affiliate, the Lender will automatically assume (and be deemed to assume without further action by any Party) all rights and obligations previously vested in the Designated Affiliate.

(k)

if the aggregate amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s) is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loan(s), the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent);

(C)

to the extent that a Lender's participation (if any) in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s) exceeds its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s) (an "Individual Lender Shortfall"), that Xxxxxx's participation (if any) in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s) shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Xxxxxx's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s) and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s); and

(D)

each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s) only to the extent that its participation (if any) in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s) exceeds its participation (if any) in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s) and the remainder of that Xxxxxx's participation in the new Revolving Facility Loan(s) shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Xxxxxx's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s),

and the Agent may apply any payment made under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of a participation in any new Revolving Facility Loans pursuant to sub-paragraph (D) above in repayment of any Individual Lender Shortfall relating to the corresponding maturing Revolving Facility Loan(s) referred to in sub-paragraph (C) above.

(c)

If any Revolving Facility Loan is not repaid on the last day of its Interest Period (the "Maturing Revolving Facility Loan") and the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) has not notified the Agent that it intends to repay the Maturing Revolving Facility Loan on the last day of its Interest Period, a Rollover Loan (with an Interest Period corresponding to the Maturing Revolving Facility Loan) shall be deemed to have been drawn on the last day of the Interest Period for, and applied in repayment of, the Maturing Revolving Facility Loan.

(d)

The Borrower shall repay, or procure the repayment of, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan borrowed by it in full upon the date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Facility B Loans borrowed by it are repaid in full (and following any such repayment of a Revolving Facility Loan, the corresponding Revolving Facility Commitments shall be cancelled).

6.4

Loans and Commitments provided by a Defaulting Lender

(a)

At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in any Revolving Facility Loan then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date in relation to the relevant Revolving Facility and will be treated as a separate Revolving Facility Loan (the "Separate Loans") denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding.

(b)

A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay all or part of that Separate Loan by giving not less than one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Agent (or such shorter time period as agreed between the Borrower and the Agent) prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (b) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

(c)

Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Defaulting Lender on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan).

(d)

The terms of this Agreement relating to Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans and/or any Loans under a Separate Facility other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (a) to (c) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan and/or any Loans under a Separate Facility.

"Lender Withheld Amounts" means any amounts (including amounts withheld on account of fees, costs and expenses that are due or will on the Settlement Date become due pursuant to Clause 13 (Fees) and/or Clause 18 (Costs and Expenses)) withheld by the Lenders from the cash proceeds of the relevant Pre-Funding Loans on the instructions of the Company (or the relevant Borrower) in accordance with the relevant Utilisation Request.

"Pre-Funding Loan" means any Loan made or to be made under Facility B, if the Utilisation Date for such Loan is (or will be) a date prior to the Settlement Date, or the principal amount outstanding for the time being of that Loan. A Pre-Funding Loan shall be identified as such in the relevant Utilisation Request.

"Pre-Funding Repayment Amount" means, at the relevant time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Pre-Funding Loans, less any Agent Withheld Amounts and any Lender Withheld Amounts.

"Pre-Funding Repayment Date" means the date falling two (2) Business Days following (and excluding) the Proposed Settlement Date (or such other date as may be agreed between the Company and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably))).

(ii)

if the Settlement Date has not occurred by 11:59 p.m. on the Proposed Settlement Date, then:

(A)

the relevant Borrower shall (unless the Settlement Date occurs on or prior to the Pre-Funding Repayment Date) repay or procure the repayment of the Pre-Funding Repayment Amount on or prior to the Pre-Funding Repayment Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no prior notice shall be required to be given in respect of such repayment); and

(B)

any Agent Withheld Amounts and/or Lender Withheld Amounts shall be deemed to be applied in repayment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the relevant Pre-Funding Loans at the same time as any repayment is made pursuant to sub-paragraph (A) above such that repayment of the Pre-Funding Repayment Amount shall be deemed to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Pre-Funding Loans in full (and the Agent shall be entitled to apply any Agent Withheld Amounts, and the Lenders shall be entitled to apply any Lender Withheld Amounts, in each case in accordance with this sub-paragraph (B), notwithstanding paragraph (d) below), and the relevant Borrower shall be under no further liability or obligation with respect to the relevant Pre-Funding Loans or the Pre-Funding Repayment Amount.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

and the Finance Parties acknowledge and agree that such disbursement in accordance with this paragraph (d) constitutes payment of the relevant fees on the Settlement Date, notwithstanding that such amounts may only be received by the relevant Finance Parties after such date.

(e)

Interest shall only accrue on any Pre-Funding Loan from the relevant Pre-Funding Date and the Borrower to which such Pre-Funding Loan is made shall pay such interest at the end of the first Interest Period relating to such Pre-Funding Loan, provided that if the Settlement Date does not occur the Borrower to which such Pre-Funding Loan is made shall pay such interest on the Pre-Funding Repayment Date.

(f)

A Pre-Funding Loan will have an Interest Period of one (1) week or such other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) in relation to the relevant Pre-Funding Loan).

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or other Finance Documents, if a Pre-Funding Loan is made to the Borrower:

(i)

this shall not constitute the occurrence of the "Closing Date" and instead the "Closing Date" shall be deemed to occur on the Settlement Date; and

(ii)

no original issue discount, arrangement fees, upfront fees, ticking fees, closing payments, commissions, or other fees, costs or expenses (including pursuant to Clause 13 (Fees) and/or Clause 18 (Costs and Expenses)) shall be due or payable relating to any Pre-Funding Loans during any period prior to the Settlement Date.

(h)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Clause 6.1 (Repayment of Facility B Loans), Clause 9.3 (No reborrowing of Term Facilities) and Clause 9.8 (Effect of Repayment and Prepayment on Commitments)) or other Finance Documents, if any part of Facility B is repaid prior to the Settlement Date:

Illegality

(a)

If after the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date the relevant Lender became a Party) it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its Commitment or participation in any Utilisation:

(i)

that Xxxxxx, shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company upon becoming aware of that event, setting out the details thereof (such notice a "Lender Illegality Notice");

(A)

the undrawn Commitments of such Lender shall, by no less than five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Company (or, in the case that a Change of Control which results from a Listing, on the settlement date in respect of such Listing to the extent such Lender has provided a prepayment notice to the Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to such settlement date), be cancelled and such Lender shall have no obligation to fund or participate in any new Utilisation (in each case other than a Rollover Loan); and

(B)

on the date falling thirty (30) days after the expiry of the Change of Control Put Option Period (or, in the case that a Change of Control which results from a Listing, if later, on the settlement date in respect of such Listing), all outstanding Utilisations provided by such Lender, together with accrued interest, and all other amounts accrued or owing to such Lender under the Finance Documents shall become immediately due and payable, and the relevant Borrower will immediately prepay all Utilisations and amounts provided by or owing to that Lender and procure that any cash collateral provided by that Lender is released.

(b)

If a Lender has not notified the Agent in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above by the end of the Change of Control Put Option Period in respect of that Change of Control (only), that Lender shall not be able to cancel its Commitments or require repayment of all or any part of its share of the Utilisations and the prepayment of any other amount owing to it under the Finance Document, in each case pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(50%) of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company other than in connection with any transaction or series of transactions in which the Company shall become the wholly owned Subsidiary of a Holding Company so long as no person or group, as noted above, other than a Permitted Holder, holds more than fifty per cent. (50%) of the total voting power of the share capital having the right to cast votes in general meetings of such Holding Company; or

provided that notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)

a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control solely as a result of the Company becoming a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a Holding Company if:

(1)

the direct or indirect holders of the share capital having the right to cast votes in general meetings of such Holding Company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as those holders in respect of the Company immediately prior to that transaction; or

the right to acquire share capital having the right to cast votes in general meetings (so long as such person does not have the right to direct the voting of the share capital having the right to cast votes in general meetings subject to such right) or any veto power in connection with the acquisition or disposition of share capital having the right to cast votes in general meetings will not cause a party to be a beneficial owner;

Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio	Percentage of Excess Cashflow
Greater than 3.00 :1	100%

(ii)

Net Cash Proceeds from an Equity Offering excluding (1) any Equity Contributions contemplated in the Tax Structure Memorandum or otherwise in connection with the Transaction or (2) any Equity Contributions from Topco following the Closing Date (together with any Take-Out Financing Proceeds, the "Relevant Proceeds"), the Company shall promptly prepay the Facility B Loans and, to the extent required under the Backstop Bridge Facilities Agreement, the Backstop Bridge Facility, on a pro rata basis,

in each case in an amount equal to one hundred (100) per cent of the applicable Relevant Proceeds plus any accrued and unpaid interest payable in relation to Facility B and the Backstop Bridge Facility, as applicable provided that, notwithstanding anything in any Finance Document, at the Company’s option in its sole and absolute discretion, no such proceeds shall be applied in prepayment of any participations of any Declining Lender under and as defined in the Backstop Bridge Facilities Agreement.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(b)

The repayment price for any Facility B Loan required to be prepaid in accordance with this Clause 8.3 shall equal one hundred (100) per cent. of the principal amount of the Facility B Loan to be repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the date of prepayment.

any Excluded Take-Out Financing Proceeds;

8.4

Restriction on prepayment

The provisions of Clause 8.1 (Change of Control), Clause 8.2 (Excess Cash Flow) or Clause 8.3 (Take-Out Financing and Net Cash Proceeds) are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Any amount which would otherwise be required by such provisions to be applied in prepayment of the Loans shall only be so applied (notwithstanding the relevant provision of this Agreement) if and to the extent that it is permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement.

8.5

Application of prepayments

(a)

Any prepayment made pursuant to Clause 8.1 (Change of Control) shall be applied to prepay each Loan or portions thereof of each Lender that has properly elected to be (or is required to be) prepaid in accordance with the provisions of such Clause.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(c)

Subject to paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall use its reasonable endeavours and take all reasonable steps to ensure that any transaction giving rise to a prepayment obligation or obligation to provide cash cover is structured in such a way that it will not be unlawful for the Borrower or other members of the Group to move the relevant proceeds received between members of the Group, to the extent such action would be necessary to comply with such prepayment obligation, to enable a mandatory prepayment to be lawfully made and the proceeds lawfully applied as provided under this Clause 8 or Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings) and/or minimise the costs and Taxes of making such mandatory prepayment. If, however, after the Borrower or other member of the Group has used all such reasonable endeavours and taken such reasonable steps:

(i)

it will still be unlawful for such a prepayment to be made and the proceeds so applied;

(ii)

it will still be unlawful to make funds available to a member of the Group that could make such a prepayment;

(iii)

it will still result in any member of the Group making funds available to, or receiving funds from, another member of the Group to enable such a prepayment to be made incurring costs or expenses (including any material Tax liabilities) which will exceed three (3) per cent. of the amount of such prepayment or it gives rise to a risk of liability for the entity concerned or its directors or officers; and/or

(iv)

it will give rise to a risk of liability for a member of the Group and/or its officers or directors (or gives rise to a risk of breach of fiduciary or statutory duties by any director or officer or a risk of personal liability),

then such prepayment shall not be required to be made, subject to, an obligation to use other Group cash which is not subject to similar restrictions to prepay an equivalent amount where the use of such cash would not be materially prejudicial to overall Group liquidity or the availability of Group liquidity to members of the Group requiring funds, provided always that if the restriction preventing such payment/provision of cash cover or giving rise to such liability is subsequently removed, an amount equal to any relevant proceeds will be applied in prepayment and/or the provision of cash cover in accordance with this Clause 8 or Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings) at the end of the relevant Interest Period(s) to the extent that such payment has not otherwise been made.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition is received by any person the entire issued share capital of which (or any other ownership interest in) is not owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower, the amount required to be applied in prepayment pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such proceeds or such item (after taking account of all applicable exceptions and exclusions but without double counting any such deduction) (if any) shall be further reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the share capital of (or other ownership interests in) that person (the entire share capital of which is not held directly or indirectly by the Borrower), and shall then (in respect to such person which is not a member of the Group) be limited to such amounts actually received by the shareholder that is the member of the Group therein.

(e)

For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no requirement to apply any amount required to be applied in prepayment of the Term Facilities pursuant to Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings) in prepayment of any Revolving Facility.

(f)

The Company may elect that any prepayment to be made pursuant to Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings) be applied in prepayment in accordance with this Agreement on the last day of the Interest Period relating to the relevant Loan(s) to be repaid. If the Company makes that election then a proportion of the Loan(s) equal to the amount of the relevant prepayment will be due and payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(g)

To the extent that any portion of any Excess Cash Flow or Net Available Cash from which a prepayment of any Term Loan is required to be made is denominated in a currency other than the Base Currency applicable to that Term Loan, the prepayment required in respect of such Term Loans shall not exceed the net amount of Excess Cash Flow or Net Available Cash in the Base Currency applicable to that Term Loan that is actually received by the Company upon converting such portion into the Base Currency.

8.6

Invitation to Refuse Prepayment

(a)

The Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable of any proposed prepayment of Term Loans under Clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Term Loans), Clause 8.2 (Excess Cash Flow) or Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings).

(b)

At the Company's request only, a Lender (a "Non-Accepting Lender") to which the proposed prepayment under Clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Term Loans), Clause 8.2 (Excess Cash Flow) or Section 4 (Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock) of Schedule 12 (General Undertakings) would otherwise be made, may give notice to the Agent prior to the deadline specified by the Company in such request (being not less than five (5) Business Days from the date of such request or any shorter period agreed between the Company and the Agent (acting reasonably)), that such Lender will waive its right to receive such prepayment in full (or, with the consent of the Agent (acting reasonably), in part) to the extent specified in its notice.

(c)

If any Non-Accepting Lender delivers any notice under paragraph (b) above, the amount in respect of which that Non-Accepting Lender has waived its right to prepayment (the "Waived Amount") may be retained by the Group for purposes permitted by this Agreement (including making Restricted Payments) or, at the Company's option, such Waived Amount may be offered to any Lenders under that Facility that do wish to receive such further part of the Waived Amount (apportioned between such Lenders in the Company's sole and absolute discretion if there is an insufficient amount to meet their wishes) or (notwithstanding any other restriction in this Agreement) applied in prepayment of any other Permitted Indebtedness.

8.7

Excluded proceeds

Any Excess Cash Flow or Net Available Cash shall, pending any prepayment required under the provisions of this Agreement (and without prejudice to any potential future prepayment obligation) be available for use by the Group for any purposes permitted by this Agreement.

10.2

Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period and, if the Interest Period is longer than six (6) Months, on the dates falling at six (6) Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period (unless otherwise agreed by the Majority Lenders in relation to the relevant Loan).

(b)

Subject to Clause 4.4 (Maximum number of Utilisations) and Clause 5.3 (Currency and amount) if the Borrower requests in a Selection Notice that a Term Loan be divided into two or more Term Loans under the relevant Facility, that Term Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided with Base Currency Amounts specified in that Selection Notice, having an aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to the Base Currency Amount of the relevant Term Loan immediately before its division.

VAT

(a)

All amounts 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 a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply or supplies made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document: (i) if such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, then that Party shall pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for that supply or supplies) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT upon such Finance Party providing an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party; or (ii) if such Party is required to directly account for such VAT under the reverse charge procedure provided for by any relevant VAT provisions of the jurisdiction in which such Party received such supply, then such Party shall account for the VAT at the appropriate rate (and the relevant Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party stating that the amount is charged in respect of a supply that is subject to VAT but that the reverse charge procedure applies).

(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 that 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 sub-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 determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) 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 determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) 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 (as the case may be) such Finance Party against any VAT incurred by that Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses, to the extent that the Finance Party determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that neither it nor any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d)

Any reference in this Clause 14.9 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 as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the EU or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the EU)) 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 member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(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.

(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 Company and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

confirm to that other Party whether it is:

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; and

(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 Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)

any law or regulation;

any fiduciary duty; or

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 (a)(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.

any Accounting Reference Date (or other end date of any Financial Year or Accounting Period) or other Quarter Date is adjusted by the Company to avoid an Accounting Reference Date (or other end date of any Financial Year or Accounting Period) or other Quarter Date falling on a day which is not a Business Day and/or to ensure that an Accounting Reference Date (or other end date of any Financial Year or Accounting Period) or other Quarter Date falls on a particular day of the week; or

(ii)

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

if that adjustment results in any amount being paid in a Relevant Period in which it would otherwise not have been paid, for the purpose of calculating any Applicable Metric under the Finance Documents the Company may (at its option) treat such amount as if it was paid in the Relevant Period in which it would have been paid save for any such adjustment.

(c)

If the Financial Covenant has been breached, but is complied with when tested on the next Test Date, then, any prior breach of the Financial Covenant or any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall not (and shall not be deemed to) directly or indirectly constitute, or result in, a breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other term in the Finance Documents or a Default or an Event of Default, unless a Declared Default has arisen and is continuing before delivery of the Compliance Certificate in respect of the Relevant Period ending on such next Test Date.

(h)

A transfer under this Clause 24 will only be effective:

(i)

on receipt by the Agent of a copy of the prior written consent of the Company to the transfer as required pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above or receipt by the Agent and the Company of written confirmation from the relevant Existing Lender that such consent is not required in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 24;

117

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(ii)

on receipt by the Agent (whether in the Transfer Certificate or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Company (each acting reasonably)) 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 was an Original Lender;

(iii)

if the procedure set out in Clause 24.7 (Procedure for transfers) is complied with;

(iv)

unless the New Lender is already party to the Intercreditor Agreement in its capacity as a Lender, upon the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(v)

(i)

Any assignment or transfer under a Revolving Facility or any other Facility in respect of which the Available Facility is not zero (0) must result in an assignment or transfer of a rateable amount of a Lender's participation in Utilisations and Available Commitments thereunder.

(j)

Without prejudice to this Clause 24.3, the Borrower hereby expressly consents to each Transfer permitted pursuant to this Clause 24. The Borrower also accepts and confirms that all guarantees, indemnities and Security granted by it under any Finance Document will, notwithstanding any such Transfer, continue and be preserved for the benefit of the New Lender and each of the other Finance Parties in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

(k)

If:

(i)

a Lender Transfers, creates a trust over, sub-participates, sub-contracts or otherwise disposes of any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the Transfer, trust, sub participation, sub-contract or other change occurs, the Company would be obliged to make a payment or increased payment to the relevant Lender, New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 14 (Taxes) or Clause 15 (Increased Costs),

then the relevant Lender, New Lender and/or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is not entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to any greater extent than the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the Transfer, trust, sub-participation, sub-contract or other change had not occurred, provided that no Lender may Transfer, create a trust over or otherwise dispose of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or change its Facility Office if the Transfer, trust or other change would give rise to a requirement to prepay on illegality under Clause 7.1 (Illegality) in relation to the New Lender or the Existing Lender acting through its new Facility Office.

(l)

Except with the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed given), a Lender may not change its Facility Office if the new Facility Office is situated in a Non-Cooperative State.

118

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(m)

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

(n)

If any Transfer is executed (or purported to be executed) in breach of any of the provisions of this Clause 24 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any purported Transfer for which the Company's consent has been provided but which is purported to be effected on terms different to those disclosed in the relevant Transfer Consent Request) any Lender which is party to the purported Transfer (whether as an Existing Lender or a proposed New Lender) shall be a "Transfer Defaulting Lender".

(o)

Notwithstanding the terms of the Finance Documents, if an Existing Lender which is an Original Lender Transfers any or all of its Commitments to a New Lender (including an Affiliate or Related Fund) permitted in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer) on or prior to the end of the Certain Funds Period (the "Pre-Closing Transferred Commitments") the Existing Lender shall:

(i)

fund, and be liable to the Borrower for, the Pre-Closing Transferred Commitments in respect of that Loan by 9.30 a.m. on the applicable Utilisation Date if that New Lender has failed to so fund (or has confirmed that it will not be able to fund) on the applicable Utilisation Date (as applicable) in respect of the relevant Facility or Facilities; and

(ii)

retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to the Pre-Closing Transferred Commitments, including all rights with respect to waivers, consents, modifications, amendments and confirmations as to satisfaction of the requirement to receive all of the documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) until after the expiry of the Certain Funds Period.

(p)

Any assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender to a New Lender shall only be effective if it transfers or assigns the Existing Xxxxxx's share of the relevant Facility pro rata against the Existing Xxxxxx's Available Commitment and its participations in Utilisations under that Facility.

(q)

Each New Lender shall deliver to the Agent a copy of the trade confirmation in respect of the relevant Transfer or confirm the price of such Transfer (a "Trade Confirmation"), at the same time as it (or the Existing Lender) provides the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement in respect of the Transfer to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 24.7 (Procedure for transfers) or paragraph (a) of Clause 24.8 (Procedure for assignment).

24.4

Assignments by Xxxxxxx

Upon an assignment becoming effective, the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under the Finance Documents to the extent they are assumed by the New Lender.

24.5

Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on or before the date upon which an assignment or transfer to it takes effect pursuant to this Clause (a), pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $5,000 (plus VAT if applicable) provided that in the case of related assignments or transfers on the same Transfer Date by or to any Lender and/or its Affiliates or Related Funds, only one such fee shall be payable.

119

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

24.6

Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

the financial condition of any member of the Group;

(iii)

the performance and observance by any member of the Group of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)

the accuracy of any statements or information (whether written or oral) made or supplied in connection with any Transaction Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties and the Secured Parties that it:

(i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its related entities and all other risks arising in connection with its participation in the Finance Documents and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and

(ii)

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

(c)

Each New Lender confirms to the Company that it has all Authorisations required for lending to the Borrower under the Facility in which it is a Lender.

(d)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)

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

(ii)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

24.7

Procedure for transfers

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer) and Clause 36.5 (Replacement of a Lender), a transfer by novation is effected in accordance with paragraph (e) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate executed and delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(b)

The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (c) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a duly completed Transfer Certificate which appears on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and appears to be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and record the transfer in the Register.

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(c)

(d)

Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(e)

On the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security, the Borrower and such Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Clause 24.7 as "discharged rights and obligations");

(ii)

the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the Borrower and that New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and such Existing Lender;

(iii)

the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and benefits and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the relevant Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties (other than the New Lender) shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(iv)

such New Lender shall become a party hereto as a Lender.

24.8

(b)

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 24.8 once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

121

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(c)

Subject to Clause 24.14 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i)

the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii)

the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the "Relevant Obligations") expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and

(iii)

the New Lender shall become a party as a Lender and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

24.9

Sub-participations

(a)

Notwithstanding Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer), on or prior to the end of the Certain Funds Period, the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed given) is required for any Transfer by a Lender by way of a sub-participation of any Facility unless such Transfer by way of sub-participation is by an Original Lender to any of its Affiliates or, in the case of a Term Facility only, its Related Fund provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (o) of Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer) shall apply to any such Transfer.

(b)

Notwithstanding Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer), after the end of the Certain Funds Period, the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed given except with respect to a proposed Transfer by way of sub-participation of Facility B1 or Facility B2 where such consent will be deemed to have been granted if the Company does not respond within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Company and each Designated Recipient of a duly completed Transfer Consent Request) is required for any Transfer by a Lender by way of a sub-participation unless:

(i)

the proposed sub-participant is not a person to whom proviso (B) (Overriding Restrictions) of paragraph (b) of Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer) (or any provision thereof) applies;

(ii)

such Lender remains a Lender under this Agreement with all rights and obligations pertaining thereto and remains liable under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents in relation to those obligations;

(iii)

such Lender retains at all times exclusive control over all rights and obligations in relation to the participations and Commitments that are the subject of the relevant sub-participation, including all voting and similar rights (for the avoidance of doubt, free of any agreement or understanding pursuant to which it is required to or will consult with any other person in relation to the exercise of any such rights and/or obligations);

(iv)

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

(v)

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

122

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(vi)

the proposed sub-participant will under no circumstances (A) be subrogated to, or be substituted in respect of, the relevant Lender's claims under any of the Finance Documents or (B) otherwise have any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Borrower under or in relation to any of the Finance Documents (in its capacity as sub-participant under that arrangement); and

(vii)

the applicable sub-participation agreement states that the conditions above are applicable to further sub-participations (and such provision must be capable of being relied upon and directly enforceable by the Company against the relevant sub-participant),

and, for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (o) of Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer) shall apply to any sub-participation which occurs in breach of these provisions.

(c)

Without prejudice to paragraph (o) of Clause 24.3 (Conditions of Transfer), if, as a result of laws or regulations in force or known to be coming into force at the time of any sub-participation the Borrower would be obliged to make payment to the Lender of any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under Clause 14 (Taxes) or Clause 15 (Increased Costs), that Lender shall not be entitled to receive or claim any amount under those Clauses in excess of the amount that it would have been entitled to receive or claim if that sub-participation had not occurred.

(d)

Unless the Company has provided its prior written consent in accordance with this Clause 24.9 (which may be given, withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed given), no sub-participation of Commitments made pursuant to this Clause 24.9 shall confer voting or similar rights on any sub-participant and any term purporting to grant such rights shall be void and unenforceable.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Finance Documents, subject to the overriding restrictions set out in Clause 24.3(b)(i)(B), there shall be no restrictions on non-voting sub-participations (and any such non-voting sub-participations shall be permitted without the consent of the Company), provided that any such Lender retains at all times exclusive control over all rights and obligations in relation to the participations and Commitments that are the subject of the relevant sub-participation, including all voting and similar rights (for the avoidance of doubt, free of any agreement or understanding pursuant to which it is required to or will consult with any other person in relation to the exercise of any such rights and/or obligations).

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Finance Documents, nothing shall prohibit the Lenders or any Affiliate of a Lender from entering into, whether directly or indirectly, any hedging and/or derivatives transactions of any kind in relation to the Target, the Target Shares and/or the Facility.

(c)

Each Party irrevocably authorises and instructs the Agent to make the relevant entry in the Register (and which the Agent shall do promptly) on its behalf for the purposes of this Clause 24.10 without any further consent of, or consultation with, such Party. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless recorded in the Register.

(d)

The Agent shall, upon request by an Existing Lender (as defined in Clause 24.2 (Assignments and Transfers by Lenders)) or a New Lender, confirm to that Existing Lender or New Lender whether a transfer or assignment from that Existing Lender or (as the case may be) to that New Lender has been recorded on the Register (including details of the Commitment of that Existing Lender or New Lender in each Facility).

24.11

Sub-participant Register

Each Lender that sells a sub-participation in a Loan or other obligation under a Finance Document shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each sub-participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each sub-participant's interest in such Loans or other obligations (for the purposes of this provision, the "Participant Register"); provided that no such Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any sub-participant or any information relating to a sub-participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans or other obligations under any Finance Document) to any person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the US Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such sub-participation for all purposes of the Finance Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

24.12

Copies of documentation

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, an Assignment Agreement or an Increase Confirmation, send to the Company, a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation (and the relevant Trade Confirmation), provided that, the Company may request that any Transfer Certificates and/or Assignment Agreements are instead delivered on a periodic basis at intervals specified by the Company. The Agent shall provide, upon the request of the Company, in relation to any specified Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation, a copy of such document (and the relevant Trade Confirmation) to the Company within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such request.

24.13

Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause (a), each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from the Borrower, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including:

(a)

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

124

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(b)

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

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

(i)

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

(ii)

require any payments to be made by the Borrower or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

24.14

Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 24.7 (Procedure for transfers) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 24.8 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(a)

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

(b)

the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(i)

when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and

(ii)

the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 24.14, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

24.15

Preservation of security

(a)

In the event that a Transfer by any of the Finance Parties of its rights and/or obligations under any relevant Finance Documents occurred or was deemed to occur by way of novation, the Borrower explicitly agrees that all security interests and guarantees created under any Finance Documents shall be preserved for the benefit of the New Lender and the Finance Parties, including in respect of Topco, in accordance with the provisions of article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code.

(b)

Each Party agrees that upon any transfer or assignment under this Clause 24, any Security created under any French law governed Transaction Security Documents shall be preserved and maintained for the benefit of the Security Agent, the New Lender and the remaining Finance Parties pursuant to articles 1334 et seq. of the French Code civil.

(c)

A New Lender may with respect to a transfer or assignment of rights and obligations or any assignment of rights by an Existing Lender under this Agreement, if it considers it necessary to make such transfer effective as against any third party, arrange for the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to be notified to the relevant French entity by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt in accordance with article 1324 of the French Code civil.

A Purchaser may purchase by way of assignment, pursuant to Clause 24 (Changes to the Lenders), a participation in any Loan and any related Commitment where:

(i)

such purchase is a result of a non-cash contribution of such indebtedness (including any participation, claim, commitment, rights, benefits and/or obligations in respect of any indebtedness borrowed or issued by any member of the Group from time to time) by a person that is not a member of the Group; or

(ii)

such purchase is made:

(A)

prior to 11.00 a.m. on a given Business Day (the "Solicitation Day"), the relevant Purchaser or a financial institution acting on its behalf (the "Purchase Agent") will approach at the same time each Lender which participates in the relevant Facilities to invite them to offer to sell to the relevant Purchaser, an amount of their participation in one or more Facilities;

(ii)

any Lender wishing to make such an offer shall, by 11.00 a.m. on the second (2^nd) Business Day following such Solicitation Day, communicate to the Purchase Agent details of the amount of its participations, and in which Facilities, it is offering to sell and the price at which it is offering to sell such participations;

(iii)

any such offer by a Lender shall be irrevocable until 11.00 a.m. on the third (3^rd) Business Day following such Solicitation Day and shall be capable of acceptance by the relevant Purchaser on or before such time by communicating its acceptance in writing to the Purchase Agent or, if it is the Purchase Agent, the relevant Lenders;

126

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(vi)

if it chooses to accept any offers made pursuant to a Solicitation Process, the Purchaser shall be free to select which offers and in which amounts it accepts but on the basis that in relation to a participation in a particular Facility it accepts offers in inverse order of the price offered (with the offer or offers at the lowest price being accepted first) and that if in respect of participations in a particular Facility it receives two or more offers at the same price it shall only accept such offers on a pro rata basis;

(vii)

any purchase of participations in the Facilities pursuant to a Solicitation Process shall be completed and settled on or before the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the relevant Solicitation Day; and

Following the completion of a Solicitation Process, a Debt Purchase Transaction may be entered into by a Purchaser pursuant to a bilateral process (a "Bilateral Process") which is carried out as follows:

(i)

a Purchaser may by itself or through the same or another Purchase Agent at any time during the period commencing on the expiry of the relevant Solicitation Process and ending ninety (90) days thereafter, purchase participations from Lenders pursuant to secondary market purchases and/or pursuant to such bilateral arrangements with any Lenders as the Purchaser shall see fit;

(i)

on completion of the relevant assignment pursuant to Clause 24 (Changes to the Lenders), the portions of the Term Loans to which it relates shall, unless there would be a material adverse tax impact on the Group as a result of such cancellation, be extinguished if the purchaser is the relevant Borrower;

(ii)

such Debt Purchase Transaction and the related extinguishment referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above shall not constitute a prepayment of the Facilities;

(iii)

for the purpose of testing compliance with the Financial Covenant, any impact of any Debt Purchase Transaction on Consolidated EBITDA shall be ignored;

the Purchaser which is the assignee shall be deemed to be an entity which fulfils the requirements of Clause 24.2 (Assignments and Transfers by Lenders) to be a New Lender (as defined in such Clause);

for the avoidance of doubt, any extinguishment of any part of the Term Loans shall not affect any amendment or waiver which prior to such extinguishment had been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement;

(viii)

unless all amounts owing to the other Lenders under this Agreement will be paid in full at the same time as such prepayment, the Purchaser will not be entitled to receive any prepayment pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of any such prepayment which would have been so received by it shall at the election of the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) either be reduced by such amount or such amount shall be applied pro rata to prepay all other Lenders in the relevant Facility;

(ix)

any enforcement proceeds or other amount received by a Purchaser as a result of a Debt Purchase Transaction (in the case of such other amount, in circumstances where the Borrower has failed to pay to the Lenders all amounts otherwise due and payable (the amount not so paid being a "shortfall")) shall be held on trust for distribution to the other Finance Parties and such Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) pay an amount equal to such enforcement proceeds or such shortfall, as the case may be, to the Security Agent for application in accordance with clause 16 (Application of proceeds) of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(x)

any amount that is due to a Purchaser that enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction and which is received by the Agent pursuant to Clause 30.6 (Partial payments) shall be applied as if such payment were due under paragraph (a)(iv) of Clause 30.6 (Partial payments); and

(xi)

a Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise any rights or be entitled to any payment pursuant to Clause 14 (Taxes) and Clause 15 (Increased Costs).

(i)

in relation to any meeting or conference call to which all the Lenders are invited to attend or participate, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not attend or participate in the same or be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same;

(ii)

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

(iii)

solely in ascertaining the Majority Lenders, the Majority Revolving Facility Lenders, the Accelerating Majority Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders, all Lenders or whether any given percentage (other than unanimity) of the Total Commitments has been obtained to give an instruction or approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment, or other vote under the Finance Documents such Commitment owned by such Purchaser or Investor Affiliate shall be deemed to be zero (0),

128

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

provided that, in each case, such consent, waiver, amendment or other vote:

(A)

does not result or is not intended to result in any Commitment of that Purchaser or Investor Affiliate under a particular Facility being treated in any manner which is inconsistent with the treatment proposed to be applied to any other Commitment under such Facility; or

(B)

is not materially detrimental (in comparison to the other Finance Parties) to the rights and/or interests of that Purchaser or Investor Affiliate solely in its capacity as a Finance Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding its interests as a holder of equity in the Company (whether directly or indirectly)), and each Purchaser or Investor Affiliate (as applicable) upon becoming a Party expressly agrees and acknowledges that the operation of this paragraph (g) shall not of itself be so detrimental to it in comparison to the other Finance Parties or otherwise.

(h)

Each Lender shall, unless the Debt Purchase Transaction is an assignment or transfer, promptly notify the Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction with a Purchaser or an Investor Affiliate (a "Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction"), such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part I (Form of Notice on Entering into Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction) of Schedule 10 (Forms of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice) or any other form agreed between the Agent (acting reasonably) and the Company.

(i)

A Lender shall promptly notify the Agent if a Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction to which it is a party is terminated or ceases to be with a Purchaser or an Investor Affiliate, such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part II (Form of Notice on Termination of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction) of Schedule 10 (Forms of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice) or any other form agreed between the Agent (acting reasonably) and the Company.

(j)

For the avoidance of doubt, an Investor Affiliate shall be permitted to enter into a Debt Purchase Transaction subject only to paragraphs (g) and (h) above.

(k)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 25 or any other provision of a Finance Document, a Purchaser may (1) enter into any Debt Purchase Transaction or (2) be, or beneficially own all or any part of the share capital of an entity that is, a Lender or a party to a Debt Purchase Transaction, in each case in respect of any Commitments acquired from any Mandated Lead Arranger, any Original Lender or any of their Affiliates or Related Funds within ninety (90) days from (and excluding) the Closing Date without being required to comply with the requirements for a Solicitation Process or Bilateral Process (or any related conditions or other requirements) and provided that no restriction on the assignment, transfer or sub-participation (including pursuant to Clause 24 (Changes to the Lenders) or this Clause 25) shall apply to any such Commitment for so long as it is held by or sub-participated to a Purchaser.

26.

Sharing Among the Finance Parties

29.1

Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party") receives or recovers (including by way of set-off) any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(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).

141

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

29.2

Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 30.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Finance Parties.

29.3

Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the Agent under Xxxxxx 29.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from the Borrower, as between the Borrower and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

29.4

Reversal of redistribution

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

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

(a)

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

29.5

Exceptions

(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 Borrower.

(b)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

Payment Mechanics

30.1

Payments to the Agent

(a)

Subject to paragraph (c) below, on each date on which the Borrower or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document the Borrower 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 at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

(b)

Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London), as specified by the Agent (other than a Non-Cooperative State) by not less than five (5) Business Days' notice.

142

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(c)

Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, to the extent specified by the relevant Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) (in its sole and absolute discretion) in the relevant Utilisation Request, any payment to be made by a Lender under a Facility in connection with any Utilisation of a Facility on or prior to the end of the Certain Funds Period (or any other Utilisation of any Facility to the extent agreed between the Company and any relevant Lender under such Facility and notified to the Agent) pursuant to Clause 5.4 (Lenders' participation) shall not be made available to the Agent but rather shall be made available directly to the relevant beneficiaries of such payments specified in the relevant Utilisation Request.

30.2

Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 30.3 (Distributions to the Borrower) and Clause 30.4 (Clawback and pre-funding) 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 or such shorter period as agreed between that Party and the Agent (acting reasonably) or, in the case of a Loan, to such account specified in the relevant Utilisation Request, with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London) provided that such country is not a Non-Cooperative State.

30.3

Distributions to the Borrower

The Agent may (with the consent of the Borrower or in accordance with Clause 31 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for the Borrower in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

30.4

Clawback and pre-funding

(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)

Unless paragraph (c) below applies, 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 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.

(c)

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrower:

(i)

the Agent shall notify the Company of that Xxxxxx's identity and the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and

(ii)

the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Xxxxxx fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Xxxxxx,

143

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

provided that this paragraph (c) is without prejudice to the Group's rights against the Lender who failed to fund.

30.5

Impaired Agent

(a)

If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, the Borrower or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent, as the case may be, 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 Rated Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Borrower 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)

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 the Borrower under those Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of the Borrower 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 and the Security 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 all of the Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (a)(iv) above.

(c)

144

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(d)

All payments to be made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made, save to the extent contemplated in Clause 6.3 (Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans) or Clause 14 (Taxes), without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim (provided that nothing in the Finance Documents shall prevent, or shall be construed so as to prevent, any member of the Group (i) setting-off any amount or payment due from a Defaulting Lender against any amount or payment owed by a member of the Group and provided further that in the event of any such set-off by a member of the Group, for the purposes of the Finance Documents, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent shall treat such set-off as reducing only payments due to the relevant Defaulting Lender and/or (ii) exercising any right of counterclaim against a Defaulting Lender or any amount or payment due from a Defaulting Lender).

(b)

The Agent shall not be liable in any way for any action taken by it pursuant to paragraph (a) above and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Clause 27.10 (Exclusion of liability) shall apply in relation thereto.

30.8

(ii)

any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank or as otherwise imposed by law for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably), or at such other rate as may be agreed by the Company and the Agent (each acting reasonably, in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraph (i) above).

(b)

Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, if a change in any currency of any relevant country occurs (or if a single currency or currency unit ceases to be the lawful currency of one or more country) after the date of this Agreement, the Finance Documents will be amended to the extent to which the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith and after consultation with the Company, determines to be necessary to satisfy the requirements of, and reflect the matters contemplated by, paragraph (a) above, to reflect the change in currency or any generally accepted financial conventions and market practice in the Relevant Market relating to dealing in any new currency and, in each case, so far as is reasonably practicable, to put the Borrower in no worse a position than that which they would have been had such change or event not taken place.

If no Benchmark Rate Change for such currency has been made or implemented pursuant to paragraph (a) above and the Company or the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) requests the making of a Benchmark Rate Change and notifies the Agent or the Company (as applicable) thereof, then the Company and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) shall enter into consultations in respect of a Benchmark Rate Change; provided that if such Benchmark Rate Change cannot be agreed upon by the earlier of (x) the end of a consecutive period of thirty (30) days and (y) the date which is five (5) Business Days before the end of the current Interest Period, (or in the case of a new Utilisation, the date which is five (5) Business Days before the date upon which the Utilisation Request will be served, as notified by the Company to the Agent), the Benchmark Rate applicable to any Lender's share of a Loan for each Interest Period which in respect of any Loan, commences after the Trigger Date for the currency of such Loan and prior to (or during) the date on which a Benchmark Rate Change for that currency has been agreed shall, in each case (unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders participating in the applicable Facility)) be replaced by the rate certified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable (and in any event by the date falling two (2) Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of the relevant Interest Period) to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan in the relevant interbank market.

(i)

would result in an increase in the weighted average cost of the applicable Facility (whether by an increase in the Margin, fees or otherwise but taking into account, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one Party to another as a result of the application of any Benchmark Rate Change to such applicable Facility (including any spread adjustment to reflect the differential between the weighted average Benchmark Rate before and after such Benchmark Rate Change)) to the Borrower;

Schedule 8
Agreed Security Principles

Agreed Security Principles

(a)

The guarantees and security to be provided under the Finance Documents will be given in accordance with the security principles set out in this Schedule 8 (the "Agreed Security Principles"). This Schedule 8 identifies the Agreed Security Principles and addresses the manner in which the Agreed Security Principles will impact on and determine the extent and terms of the guarantees and security proposed to be provided under any Finance Document.

(b)

The Agreed Security Principles embody the recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable guarantees and/or security from all relevant members of the Group in each jurisdiction in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted by those members. In particular:

(i)

general legal and statutory limitations, regulatory restrictions, financial assistance, anti-trust and other competition authority restrictions, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, equitable subordination, "transfer pricing", "thin capitalisation", "earnings stripping", "controlled foreign corporation" and other tax restrictions, "exchange control restrictions", "capital maintenance" rules and "liquidity impairment" rules, tax restrictions, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited as to amount or otherwise and, if so, the guarantee or security will be limited accordingly provided that, to the extent requested by the Security Agent before signing any applicable security or accession document, the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours (but without incurring material cost and without adverse impact on relationships with third parties) to overcome any such obstacle or otherwise such guarantee or security document shall be subject to such limit;

(ii)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, a key factor in determining whether or not (and the terms on which) security will be taken (and in respect of the security, the extent of its perfection and/or registration) is the applicable time and cost (including adverse effects on taxes, interest deductibility, stamp duty, registration costs and taxes, notarial costs, translation costs and all applicable legal and notarial fees and adverse effects on the ability of the Group to obtain or maintain local facilities or other financing arrangements, including any factoring or similar arrangement in each case permitted under this Agreement) which will not be disproportionate to the benefit accruing to the Finance Parties of obtaining such security;

(iii)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, members of the Group will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if they are not wholly owned by another member of the Group or if it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant members of the Group or if it would conflict with the fiduciary or statutory duties of their Officers or contravene any applicable legal, regulatory or contractual prohibition or restriction or have the potential to result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any Officer of or for any member of the Group provided that, to the extent requested by the Security Agent before signing any applicable security document or accession document, the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours (but without incurring material cost and without adverse impact on relationships with third parties) to overcome any such obstacle or otherwise such guarantee or security document shall be subject to such limit;

191

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(iv)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, guarantees and security will be limited so that the aggregate of notarial costs and all registration and like taxes and duties relating to the provision of security will not exceed an amount to be agreed between the Company and the Security Agent;

(v)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only;

(vi)

it is expressly acknowledged that 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;

(vii)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, any asset subject to a legal requirement, contract, lease, licence, instrument, regulatory constraint (including any agreement with any government or regulatory body) or other third party arrangement (other than restrictions contained in the constitutional documents of a member of the Group or in any intra-Group loan agreement), which may prevent or condition the asset from being charged, secured or being subject to the applicable security document (including requiring a consent of any third party, supervisory board or works council (or equivalent)) and any asset which, if subject to the applicable security document, would give a third party the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations with respect to any member of the Group in respect of the asset or require the relevant chargor to take any action materially adverse to the interests of the Group or any member thereof, in each case will be excluded from a guarantee or security document;

(viii)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security and the registration and/or the perfection of the security granted will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on 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 (including dealing with the secured assets and all contractual counterparties or amending, waiving or terminating (or allowing to lapse) any rights, benefits or obligations, in each case prior to a Declared Default which is continuing), and any requirement under the Agreed Security Principles to seek consent of any person or take or not take any other action shall be subject to this sub-paragraph (viii);

(ix)

any security document will only be required to be notarised if required by law in order for the relevant security to become effective or admissible in evidence;

(x)

to the extent possible and unless required by applicable law, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any lender assigns or transfers any of its participation to a new lender (and, unless explicitly agreed to the contrary in this Agreement, no member of the Group shall bear or otherwise be liable for any taxes, any notarial, registration or perfection fees or any other costs, fees or expenses that result from any assignment or transfer by a Finance Party);

(xiii)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, to the extent legally effective, all security will be given in favour of the Security Agent and not the secured creditors individually (with the Security Agent to hold one set of security documents for all the Finance Parties); "parallel debt" provisions will be used where necessary (and included in the Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual security documents); no member of the Group will be required to take any action in relation to any guarantees or security as a result of any assignment or transfer by a Lender;

(xiv)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, guarantees and security will not be required from or over the assets of, any joint venture or similar arrangement, any minority interest or any member of the Group that is not wholly-owned by another member of the Group;

(xv)

each security document shall be deemed not to restrict or condition any transaction permitted under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement and the security granted under each security document shall be deemed to be subject to these Agreed Security Principles, before and after the execution of the relevant security document and creation of the relevant security;

(xvi)

no security may be provided on terms which are inconsistent with the turnover or sharing provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement;

(xvii)

the Secured Parties (or any agent or similar representative appointed by them at the relevant time) will not be able to exercise any power of attorney or set-off granted to them under the terms of the Finance Documents prior to the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing;

(xx)

193

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(xxi)

no translation of any document relating to any security or any asset subject to any security will be required to be prepared or provided to the Secured Parties, unless (i) required for such documents to become effective or admissible in evidence and (ii) a Declared Default is continuing.

Guarantees

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Finance Documents to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be (and shall not be required to be) a guarantor under or in connection with the Finance Documents without its express prior written consent.

Governing Law and Scope

Without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, no security or guarantees shall be required to be given by (or over the shares or investments in any joint venture or similar arrangement, any minority interest or any member of the Group that is not wholly owned by another member of the Group.

Terms of Security Documents

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken in connection with the Facilities:

(a)

security will not be enforceable or crystallise until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein);

(b)

the beneficiaries of the security or any Agent will only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing;

(c)

the security documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations or repeat clauses in other Finance Documents; accordingly:

(i)

they should not contain additional representations, undertakings or indemnities (including in respect of insurance, information, maintenance or protection of assets, further assurance or the payment of fees, costs and expenses) unless required for the creation or perfection of security under applicable law; and

(ii)

nothing in any security document shall (or be construed to) prohibit any transaction, matter or other step (or a grantor of security taking or entering into the same) or dealing in any manner whatsoever in relation to any asset (including all rights, claims, benefits, proceeds and documentation, and contractual counterparties in relation thereto) the subject of (or expressed to be the subject of) the security agreement if permitted by the terms of the other Finance Documents (and accordingly to such extent, the Security Agent shall promptly effect releases, confirmations, consents to deal or similar steps always at the cost of the relevant grantor of the security);

(d)

no security will be granted over parts, stock, moveable plant, equipment or receivables if it would require labelling, segregation or periodic listing or specification of such parts, stock, moveable plant, equipment or receivables;

(e)

perfection will not be required in respect of (i) vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title or (ii) letter of credit rights and tort claims (or the local law equivalent);

(f)

without prejudice to the notice of pledge and acknowledgement thereof required to be delivered under the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, in no event shall control agreements (or perfection by control or similar arrangements) be required with respect to any assets (including deposit or securities accounts);

194

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(g)

without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent), security will, where possible and practical, automatically create security over future assets of the same type as those already secured; where local law requires supplemental pledges, lists of assets or notices to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective security to be created over that class of asset, such supplemental pledges, lists of assets or notices will be provided only upon request of the Security Agent and at intervals no more frequent than annually;

(h)

each security document must contain a clause which records that if there is a conflict between the security document and this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement then (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the provisions of this Agreement or (as applicable) the Intercreditor Agreement will take priority over the provisions of the security document (and that, if requested to do so by (and at the cost of) the Company, the Security Agent will enter into such amendments, waivers or consents as are necessary to remove such conflict); and

(i)

each security document must contain a clause substantially similar to the following:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but without prejudice to the creation or perfection of any security interest under this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed so as to prohibit or restrict any transaction, matter or other step (or the [security grantor] taking or entering into the same or dealing in any manner whatsoever in relation to any asset (including all rights, claims, benefits, proceeds and documentation, and contractual counterparties in relation thereto)) permitted by the [Debt Documents] (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (other than this Agreement), and the Security Agent shall promptly enter into such documentation and/or take such other action in relation to this Agreement as is required by the [security grantor] (acting reasonably) in order to facilitate any such transaction, matter or other step, including by way of executing any confirmation, consent to dealing, release or other similar or equivalent document, or returning any physical collateral.

Excluded Assets

The Borrower shall not be required to grant Security over any of its assets except, subject to the other terms of these Agreed Security Principles (including the Overriding Principle), as set out in this Agreement.

Bank Accounts

(a)

Without prejudice to the Overriding Principle, if the Borrower grants security over its material current bank accounts it will be free to deal, operate and transact business in relation to those accounts (including opening and closing accounts) (except as set out in the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement) until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein). For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no "fixed" security over bank accounts, cash or receivables or any obligation to hold or pay cash or receivables in a particular account until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein).

(b)

Subject to paragraph ‎(c), no notice of security may be prepared or served on and consent to the security requested from, the account bank until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein).

(c)

If the Borrower grants security over its material current bank accounts (and (x) the giving of notice of security is market practice in the relevant jurisdiction and (y) it is possible to give such notice of security without disrupting the operation of the account(s) in question, in each case as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), notice of the security will be served on the account bank in relation to applicable accounts within ten (10) Business Days (or as otherwise set out in the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement in respect thereof) from (and excluding) the date of the security document (or accession thereto) and the applicable grantor of the security will use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within twenty (20) Business Days of service (or as otherwise set out in the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement). If the grantor of the security has used its reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement or acceptance its obligation to obtain acknowledgement will cease on the expiry of that twenty (20) Business Day period. Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent any member of the Group from using a bank account in the course of its business no notice of security will be served until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein).

195

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(d)

Any security over bank accounts will be subject to any security interests in favour of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. No member of the Group will be required to change its banking arrangements or standard terms and conditions in connection with the granting of bank account security.

Intercompany Debts

Without prejudice to the Overriding Principle, if the Borrower or the Target grants security over any debt owed to it by any other member of the Group it will be free to deal with, amend, waive or terminate those debts in the course of its business until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing. If required under local law, security over receivables will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles following the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing.

Real Estate

No security shall be granted over real property.

Shares

(a)

Without prejudice to (x) the security to be granted pursuant to Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and (y) the NJJ Guarantee, security over shares will be limited to shares in the Borrower and the Target notwithstanding that the Borrower or Target may be a non-wholly owned member of the Group.

(b)

Until a Declared Default is continuing (or, in the case of the Target Securities Account Pledge Agreement, as set out therein), the legal title of the shares will remain with the relevant grantor of the security (unless transfer of title on granting such security is customary in the applicable jurisdiction (as agreed between the legal counsel of the Group and the legal counsel of the Agent in the relevant jurisdiction)) and any grantor of share security will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights and powers in relation to any shares and other related rights charged by it and receive, own and retain all assets and proceeds in relation thereto without restriction or condition.

(c)

Where customary and applicable as a matter of law, following a request by the Security Agent, the applicable share certificate (or other documents evidencing title to the relevant shares) and a stock transfer form executed in blank (or applicable law equivalent) will be provided to the Security Agent:

(i)

(with respect to any Transaction Security Document entered into pursuant to Part II (Conditions Precedent to Closing) and Part III (Conditions Subsequent) of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent), as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (and taking into account any stamping requirements in respect of any stock transfer form (or applicable law equivalent)); and

196

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(ii)

(with respect to any other Transaction Security Document), as soon as reasonably practicable following execution (and taking into account any stamping requirements in respect of any stock transfer form (or applicable law equivalent)) of that Transaction Security Document.

10.

The Overriding Principle

(a)

The Parties agree that the overriding intention is for security in respect of the Secured Debt Documents only be granted by the Borrower, Topco and the Investors as set out in Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) (this paragraph (a), the "Overriding Principle").

(b)

Save as described in paragraph (a) above, no other security will be granted and for the avoidance of doubt, save as set out in paragraph ‎(a) above, no member of the Group shall be required to grant a floating charge (or any floating "all asset" or similar security interest, however described) over its assets located in any jurisdiction. No guarantees or security will be required to be provided by any member of the Target Group.

(c)

If, in accordance with this Schedule 8, a person is not required to grant any guarantee or to grant security over an asset, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to (or to procure that such person will) grant such guarantee or security ("Voluntary Credit Support"), provided that the Secured Parties shall not be obliged to accept the benefit or any guarantee and/or security in the event of legal and/or regulatory constraints or restrictions.

(d)

Each Secured Party shall be required to accept such Voluntary Credit Support and shall enter into any document requested by the Borrower to create, perfect, register or notify third parties of such Voluntary Credit Support on such terms as the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, elect, provided that the Secured Parties shall not be obliged to accept the benefit or any guarantee and/or security in the event of legal and/or regulatory constraints or restrictions.

11.

Amendment

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term of these Agreed Security Principles and any term of a Transaction Security Document, the Secured Parties authorise, instruct and direct the Security Agent to, and the Security Agent shall promptly (at the option and upon request of the Borrower) (i) enter into such amendments to such Transaction Security Document or (ii) release and terminate such Transaction Security Document and enter into a replacement Transaction Security Document on such amended terms, in each case as shall be necessary or desirable to cure such conflict or inconsistency.

For the avoidance of doubt, any proceeds of such Asset Disposition not required to be applied pursuant to this sub-paragraph (iii)(A) shall not constitute Excess Proceeds and may be used for any purposes not prohibited under this Agreement; and

(B)

if the assets sold pursuant to such Asset Disposition do not constitute Charged Property, an amount equal to one hundred (100) per cent. of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied to prepay, repay or purchase any Debt other than Debt owed to the Company or Subordinated Debt and/or to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets,

provided that:

(1)

in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Debt pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) above, the Company will retire such Debt and will cause the related commitment (if any) (other than in the case of any asset-based credit facility) to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased provided further that if the Company elects that any repayment of any revolving credit facility shall constitute an application of Net Available Cash under this paragraph (B) (the amount so elected to be applied being, the "RCF Election Amount"), such repayment shall be accompanied by a permanent cancellation of commitments under such revolving credit facility in an amount at least equal to such RCF Election Amount;

(2)

in the case of sub-paragraph (B) above, a binding commitment or letter of intent entered into not later than such 365th day shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment or letter of intent so long as the Company enters into such commitment or letter of intent with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment or letter of intent within the later of such 365th day and one hundred and eighty (180) days of such commitment or letter of intent (an "Acceptable Commitment") or, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Company enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a "Second Commitment") within one hundred and eighty (180) days of such cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds; and

212

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(3)

pending the final application of the amount of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with sub-paragraph (B) above or otherwise in accordance with this Section 4, the Company may temporarily reduce Debt or otherwise use such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(b)

The amount of Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in paragraph (a) above will be deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds" under this Agreement; provided that, to the extent the Company has elected to prepay, repay or purchase any amount of Debt pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(iii)(B) above (other than Obligations under this Agreement) at a price of no less than one hundred (100) per cent. of the principal amount thereof, and has extended such offer to the Lenders on at least a pro rata basis pursuant to Clause 8.5 (Application of prepayments), to the extent the creditors in respect of such Debt (including the Lenders) elect not to tender their Debt for such prepayment, repayment or purchase, the Company will be deemed to have applied an amount of Net Available Cash equal to such amount not tendered under this paragraph (b), and such amount shall not increase the amount of Excess Proceeds.

(c)

In the case of sub-paragraph (a)(iii)(B) above, on the 366th day (or such longer period permitted by paragraph (a) above) after the later of an Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, , the Company will within ten (10) Business Days make an offer (an "Asset Disposition Offer") to each Lender under the Facility, and if required or permitted by the terms of any Debt, to the holders of such Debt, to prepay the outstanding Facility (and only to the extent the Facility is outstanding) held by any such Lender at par, and to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of any such Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to the offer price required by the terms thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the agreement(s) governing such Debt.

(d)

The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition in the case of sub-paragraph (a)(iii)(B) above, by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant three hundred and sixty-five (365) days (or such longer period provided above) with respect to all or part of the Net Available Cash (the "Advance Portion") in advance of being required to do so by this Agreement (an "Advance Offer").

(e)

Other than in the case of sub-paragraph (a)(iii)(A) above, Clause 8.5 (Application of prepayments) shall apply to any prepayment of the Facility.

(f)

If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Facility or other Debt elected to be repaid pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(iii)(A) above, as the case may be, surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount offered in the Asset Disposition Offer (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Company shall repay the Facility and such Debt, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Facility offered to be repaid or such Debt, as the case may be, tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Facility to be repaid or Debt, as the case may be, will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Disposition Offer (or Advance Offer), the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the requirement to make an Asset Disposition Offer shall be reset to zero (0) (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion). Upon consummation or expiration of any Asset Disposition Offer, any remaining Net Available Cash shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and the Company may use such Net Available Cash for any purpose permitted by this Agreement.

213

Project Meria: Senior Facilties Agreement

(g)

To the extent that the aggregate amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of outstanding Facility prepaid and Debt, as the case may be, tendered pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the amount offered in the Asset Disposition Offer (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) for any purposes not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement.

Limitation on Affiliate Transactions

The Company shall not enter into any transaction with any Affiliate except (i) on arm’s length terms or better and for full market value and (ii) with respect to dividends, loans, advances or distributions, pursuant to paragraph (b)(ix)(A) of Section 2 (Limitation on Restricted Payments).

Limited Condition Transactions

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has exercised its option under the first sentence of this paragraph, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of: (1) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio; or (2) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement; in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an "LCT Election"), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the "LCT Test Date"); provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio”, the Company, the Target or any Target Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

If the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, of the Target and its Target Restricted Subsidiaries at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement (including with respect to the Incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Asset Dispositions, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(d)

whenever pro forma effect is applied, the pro forma calculations will be as determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company (including in respect of anticipated synergies and cost savings) as though the full effect of synergies and cost savings were realized on the first day of the relevant period and shall also include the reasonably anticipated full run rate cost savings effect (as calculated in good faith by a responsible financial or chief accounting officer of the Company) of cost savings programs that have been initiated by the Company, the Target or its Target Restricted Subsidiaries as though such cost savings programs had been fully implemented on the first day of the relevant period; and

For the purpose of calculating the Consolidated EBITDA of the Target, any Joint Venture Consolidated EBITDA shall be added to the amount determined in accordance with the foregoing.
