(5) then, in the case where the amount of this Long Term Subordinated Debt is superior to the amount of interest due under Tranche A, Tranche B; Tranche C and Tranche D : on the interests due under Tranche E;
(b) for the part of the interest of Tranche C non-converted into Long Term Subordinated Debt, this interest will be paid on the Annual Payment Date in question.
The Borrower and CDC agree to sign an agreement incorporating the terms and conditions applicable to any Long Term Subordinated Debt in accordance with the form appearing in Annex III, as soon as possible as from the date on which a Long Term Subordinated Debt is constituted pursuant to the stipulations of this Article 3.2.2.
16
3.3 Repayment of the Principal Amount of Tranche C
The Principal Amount of Tranche C, as, if applicable, reduced as a result of prepayment in accordance with Article 4 (Prepayment at the Option of the Borrower) will be repaid in one amount on 30 October 2024, pursuant to the repayment schedule set forth in Annex II.
3.4 Payment and repayment terms
The payment and repayment of any sums due under Tranche C by the Borrower will be made by transfer to account no. 1155793L 1 opened in the name of “Direction des fonds d’épargne” in CDC’s books.
3.5 Default interest
If any amount due to CDC under this agreement is not paid on its due date, interest will accrue on a daily basis on this unpaid amount from its due date until the date on which this amount is actually paid at an annual rate equal to the three (3) month EURIBOR rate, plus two per cent (2%) per annum. This rate may never be lower than 5.15% per annum and will not prejudice CDC’s right to make use of the acceleration of maturity as stipulated in article 10 (Events of Default) below.
As of the date at which all amounts due to the Borrower in relation to the Financing Agreements, excluding the Agreement on the Granting of the Ordinary Loans and the Agreement on the Granting of the Participating Loans, have been repaid, the default interest due under this agreement will be annually capitalized in accordance with the provisions of article 1154 of the French Civil Code.
ARTICLE 4. PREPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF THE BORROWER
4.1 Prepayment
Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, the Borrower may, provided it gives at least thirty (30) days written notice to CDC, prepay all or part of Tranche C.
Any prepayment will automatically result in the simultaneous and proportional repayment of the other Second Park CDC Loans.
Subject to the provisions of Article 3 (Payment of Interest – Repayment of Principal) any prepayment of a principal amount must be accompanied by the payment of the accrued interest on the principal amount repaid up to the value date of this prepayment. This interest will be calculated on the basis of the exact number of days based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
17
4.2 Any repayment, whether early or not, of any principal amount will be final and the Borrower will not be able to reborrow, under this agreement, the amount thus repaid.
4.3 It is specified that the provisions of article 5 (Prepayment) of the Amended and Restated Common Agreement are not applicable to Tranche C.
4.4 Penalty for prepayment at the option of the Borrower
If the Borrower opts to make a prepayment in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.1 (Prepayment), the Borrower will pay CDC not only the accrued interest stated under Article 4.1 (Prepayment) but also a prepayment penalty corresponding to the amount of interest that would be payable for a period of ninety (90) days at a rate of 5.15% per annum on the principal amount prepaid.
This penalty will be payable on the date of the prepayment in question.
ARTICLE 5. Representations and warranties
The Borrower warrants and represents, to the CDC, that on the Date of Signing:
5.1 It is a properly constituted company existing legitimately under French law, it has the capacity to perform its activities as it does now, to enter into this agreement and to fulfil its obligations arising herefrom;
5.2 Its manager is duly authorised to sign this agreement;
5.3 The signing of this agreement and the fulfilment of the obligations arising herefrom do not contravene any significant provision of its articles of association nor any significant clause of any agreement or undertaking to which it is party or by which it is bound nor violate the laws or regulations applicable to it in such a way to as to bring about the nullity of its covenants under this agreement;
5.4 This agreement is and will remain a legal, valid and binding covenant for the Borrower concerned, in accordance with the terms thereof;
5.5 No authorisation is required from any public authority for the repayment of the principal, the payment of interest and other costs inherent in this agreement;
18
5.6 No legal proceedings before a judicial, administrative or arbitration court in France or abroad are in progress or, to the knowledge of the Borrower concerned, about to be brought which might prevent or prohibit the signing or performance of this agreement by the Borrower or which might affect its legal capacity to assume its obligations under this agreement.
6.1 Positive covenants
Until all amounts owed under this agreement are repaid in full, the Borrowers undertake the following covenants:
(a) the Borrower must notify CDC of any significant change in its corporate structure or operation, such as, in particular, a change of management or a change in the amount or distribution of the share capital, brought to the attention of the Borrower in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations; it being specified that CDC is already informed of all the changes foreseen as a result of the Transfer and expressly consents to the transfer of this agreement to Euro Disney Associés;
(b) the Borrower will, on a yearly basis, within fifteen (15) days of these being approved by its shareholders, submit his balance sheets, income statements and annexes to CDC and, starting as of the completion of the Transfer, within fifteen (15) days of these being approved by Euro Disney’s S.C.A shareholders, the consolidated accounts and consolidated balance of Euro Disney S.C.A.;
(c) the Borrower shall provide CDC with any document, agreement or information that he has to submit to Phase IA Banks, Phase XX Xxxxx, Phase IA Partners or Phase IB Partners, or any of their agents, under the conditions precedent to the coming into effect of the amended and restated versions of the Financing Agreements and in the same forms required by the aforementioned agreements; and
19
(d) Without prejudice to the stipulations of paragraph (b) of article 8.1 (Positive Covenants) of the Agreement on the Granting of Participating Loans, and of paragraph (b) of article 8.1 (Positive Covenants) of the Agreement on the Granting of Ordinary Loans, starting as of the date at which all amounts due by the Borrower under the Senior Financings, except for the Agreement on the Granting of Participating Loans and the Agreement on the Granting of Ordinary Loans, will have had been paid, the Borrower shall respect his obligations arising from the Amended and Restated Common Agreement or the Common Undertakings.
6.2 Negative covenants
Until all amounts owed under this agreement are repaid in full, the Borrower covenants not to merge with another company without the prior approval of CDC. Such approval cannot be refused if:
(i) the entity resulting from this merger takes over the full debt contracted or due to be contracted by virtue of this agreement by the Borrower; and
(ii) immediately after the completion of the merger, there is no Event of Default; and
(iii) the entity resulting from the merger is authorised, under the terms of the Master Agreement, to operate the Project;
it being however stated that CDC expressly authorises Euro Disney S.C.A. to make the Transfer.
7.1 In the event of a court-ordered liquidation or any other procedure which may replace such liquidation in the future relating to the Borrower and without thereby jeopardising the effects of the mortgage granted under the conditions stated in Article 8 (Mortgage Allocation) of this agreement, the rights of CDC to the repayment of the principal and payment of interest relating to Tranche C will be subject to the prior payment of all sums owed to creditors under S.C.A. Senior Funding.
20
7.2 In addition,
(i) if the payment of any amount in interest or in principal due and payable under Senior Funding is not made on the correct date, the due date of the payment of any amount due under Tranche C in interest or principal will be deferred until the date on which this payment default under the Senior Funding in question ceases to exist or until the date on which, despite the continuation of this payment default, the lender or lenders of the Senior Funding agree that the payment of this amount in interest and in principal due under Tranche C be made. However, the option to accept such payment will not be beneficial to CDC;
(ii) if the manager of the Borrower can prove, under the conditions stated in Article 2.3.2 of the Subordination Agreement, that the Free Cash Flow on an Annual Payment Date is insufficient, after payment of the sums due and payable to CDC under Tranche C at that Annual Payment Date, to pay the sums due under the Senior Funding during the six (6) months following this Annual Payment Date (the “Period”), the due date of the payment of the portion of the amount in interest or in principal due under Tranche C, equal to the amount of the Insufficient Free Cash Flow, will be deferred until the date on which the level of Free Cash Flow allows payment to be made in respect of:
(a) the due dates under the Senior Funding due or to be due during the outstanding Period; and
(b) the share of the amount due under Tranche C in interest or in principal, and of which the payment due date has been deferred pursuant to this paragraph (ii).
7.3 Provided that any amount due and payable under the Senior Funding is paid in full, the payment of all sums owed under Tranche C must be made prior to any payment under any participating security issued by the Borrower and any capital security of the Borrower whatsoever.
7.4 Interest rates applicable in the event of the deferral of the due date
If any amount due to CDC under Tranche C (other than an amount of interest accrued on an amount whose due date has been deferred in accordance with Article 7.2) is not paid on its normal due date and this due date is deferred in time pursuant to the provisions of Article 7.2 above, interest will accrue on this amount until the date on which it is actually paid at a rate of Tj, defined for each Interest Period in question as follows:
Tj = [the higher of the following two rates:
21
(i) EURIBOR for the Interest Period in question plus two percent (2%) per annum; or
(ii) 5.15 % per annum]
+
[a x 0.30% per annum]
where a is the whole number of years elapsed between the beginning of the deferral and the first day of each Interest Period concerned (inclusive).
The interest at the rate thus established will be calculated for the exact number of days of deferral occurring during the Interest Period under consideration on the basis of a year of 360 days.
The first Interest Period will begin to accrue from the day following the deferral date of the sums, the payability of which has been deferred by virtue of Article 7.2 above, and the following Interest Periods will begin to accrue from the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period.
7.5 The provisions of Articles 7.1 and 7.2 will cease to apply with effect from the date on which all the sums due under the Senior Funding other than the Phase I CDC Loans are fully repaid.
ARTICLE 8. MORTGAGE ALLOCATION
It is noted that in order to guarantee up to a maximum of three hundred and eighty-one million one hundred and twenty-two thousand euros (€381,122,000), the payment of all sums due by the Borrower to CDC under the CDC Loans Second Park, the Borrower has granted to CDC a senior mortgage against the land forming the Second Park made up of the following lots: AT2.1, AT2.3 and AT2.4, which extends and will continue to extend to the buildings built or to be built on this land (said land and buildings being referred to collectively as the “Encumbered Properties”).
This mortgage has given rise to the signing of a mortgage allocation deed received by Maître Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Notary, dated 31 January 2000 such instrument stipulating that the mortgage will be created on 31 December 2016 and that it may not under any circumstances be registered at the Registrar of Mortgages prior to this date. The Borrower covenants to do the necessary, at his own expenses, so that CDC benefits from this mortgage in terms similar to the abovementioned terms, in guaranty of the Second Park CDC Loan (including Tranche E) as amended pursuant to this agreement, and the other Amended and Restated Second Park CDC Loan Agreements.
22
Whilst this mortgage is not created, the Borrower undertakes not to assign the Encumbered Properties, except in connection with the Transfer transaction or a court-ordered liquidation of the Borrower, nor to grant any other mortgage or lease constituting a right in rem to the latter without the prior written consent of CDC. It is noted that this covenant is the subject of a separate agreement inserted into the purchase instrument drawn up on 31 January 2000 between EPAFRANCE and the Borrower relating to the above-mentioned land in which instrument CDC is the beneficiary of said covenant. It is further noted that this separate agreement was published in the Registrar of Mortgages simultaneous to the purchase instrument.
The Borrower will bear all costs, fees and emoluments relating to the creation of this mortgage and its registration in the Registrar of Mortgages.
If it appears from the Borrower’s Free Cash Flow and short-term operating outlook that the Borrower will soon be confronted with an inability to service its debt, notably under the Second Park CDC Loan Agreement, the Borrower will employ its best efforts to bring together all its lenders as soon as possible, including CDC, in order to find an amicable and continuous solution to the difficulties thus experienced.
10.1 Definition of Events of Default
The occurrence of any of the following events will constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) against the Borrower:
(a) any principal or interest amount due to CDC under Tranche C is unpaid on its due date and remains unpaid five (5) Working Days after written notification is sent to this effect by CDC to the Borrower;
(b) one of the covenants made by the Borrower in Article 6 (Covenants) of this agreement is not met and the Borrower has not remedied nor is about to remedy this default within thirty (30) days as from the notification sent by CDC to the Borrower requesting that the default be remedied (excluding, with respect to the abovementioned 30 days period, in case of a default caused by the fact that covenants pursuant to article 2 of the Common Undertakings have not been met);
23
(c) one of the essential representations or warranties made or given under this agreement is not observed or proves to be incorrect;
(d) any non-subordinated debt of the Borrower resulting from a loan of sums of money totalling more than fifteen million two hundred thousand euros (€15,200,000) is declared due and payable in advance as a result of the existence of a breach on the part of the Borrower;
(e) a final judgment against the Borrower ordering the Borrower to pay a sum greater than seventy six million two hundred thousand euros (€76,200,000) and the Borrower does not make the payment within thirty (30) days;
(f) voluntary withdrawal from the operation of the Second Park for a period greater than six (6) consecutive months except in the event of closure (i) for seasonal reasons, or (ii) for rebuilding, repair or maintenance; and
(g) as of 1 January 2013, Euro Disney S.C.A. or any of its affiliates contracts any indebtedness from a bank (the “Envisaged Debt”) without the prior consent of CDC and the effect of contracting such indebtedness renders the ratio Debt/Consolidated Equity Capital superior to 1 at the date of making the funds available; it being specified that the Borrower may remedy this Event of Default within a 30-day period starting as of the date of notification of the Borrower.
10.2 Consequences of Events of Default
If an Event of Default occurs, CDC may, provided it complies with the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, declare the total outstanding amount of the CDC Loans Agreements Second Park granted to be immediately payable, fifteen (15) days after notification regarding an Event of Default has been sent to the Borrower concerned, except in the case of a violation of the ratios set out in article 2 of the Common Undertakings for the Financial Year N, it being specified that in such case, CDC will not have the right to notify the accelerated maturity of the CDC Loans Agreements Second Park before 30 January of the Financial Year N+1 or, in case of a change in the accounting principles and rules, before 28 February of Financial Year N+1, provided that such violation is remedied in the following conditions and time limits:
Euro Disney Associés may restore, as applicable, the amount of DSCR or Forecast DSCR (as such terms are defined in the Common Undertakings) through either (i) a transfer of new liquidities under the form of equity capital or Subordinated Debt (as such terms are defined in the Common Undertakings) of Euro Disney Associés or (ii) a discharge of receivables (inclusive or not of a “return to better fortunes” clause) or the carry forward of payments that may, in both cases, give rise to a payment only after the date at which all amounts owed (in principal or interest) under the CDC Loans Agreements Second Park and the CD Long Term Subordinated Debt Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Common Agreement) have been paid in full and will be the subject of a subordination agreement to be entered into with CDC (the “Restored Amount”).
24
The Restored Amount (to be added to the numerator pursuant to the calculation of the DSCR and the Forecast DSCR) will be equal to the higher of:
(i) the Restored Amount having for effect to restore the DSCR; and
(ii) the Restored Amount having for effect to restore the Forecast DSCR.
The treasury of Euro Disney Associés will have to have entirely benefited from the Restored Amount by 30 January of the Financial Year N+1 at the latest, or in case of a change in accounting principles and rules, by 28 February of the Financial Year N+1 at the latest.”
10.3 Penalties
If CDC should demand repayment of Tranche C due to the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Article 10.1 (f), the Borrower shall pay CDC under Tranche C, a penalty equal to nine million one hundred forty seven thousand euros (€9 147 000).
This penalty will be payable on two dates, one half fifteen (15) days after the notification stated in Article 10.1 (Consequences of Events of Default) and the other half on the first anniversary date of that same notification.
11.1 CDC must regard as confidential, and therefore not disclose in any way to third parties other than his consultants or Government officials, any data, information or reports that have been provided under this agreement by the Borrower, by any entity directly or indirectly affiliated to the Borrower, or by one of the agents, representatives or consultants of the Borrower. and CDC cannot disclose to third parties any of these data, information or reports without the prior written agreement of the Borrower, which may refuse to give such agreement at its discretion except where:
(i) such data or information or report has become public other than by virtue of a violation by CDC, of the provisions of this Article; or
25
(ii) such disclosure is imposed by the law; or
(iii) such disclosure is required by a court having jurisdiction; or
(iv) such disclosure is explicitly authorised by virtue of any provision of this agreement.
11.2 CDC must take all necessary measures to ensure that confidential data and information provided to it under this agreement by the Borrower, data and information which must be brought to the attention of its employees, will only be disclosed for the sole purposes of facilitating the management of this agreement and, in all cases, on condition that such data or information is regarded as strictly confidential by those employees.
11.3 The provisions of this Article 11 (Confidentiality) will be binding on CDC subsequent to the date on which all sums owed by the Borrower to CDC by virtue of this agreement have been paid and repaid.
ARTICLE 12. Miscellaneous provisions

26
12.3 Cumulative rights and non-waiver

Should CDC not exercise any right belonging to it or exercise such right tardily, this fact will not constitute a waiver on its part of its entitlement to enjoy that right. Likewise, the total or partial exercise by CDC of a right pertaining to it will not prevent it from exercising this right or another right at a later date.

28
12.7 Transfers of rights
(a) The Borrower may not transfer any of its rights or obligations by virtue of this agreement without obtaining prior written agreement from CDC, it being specified, however, that in accordance with the Transfer, CDC authorises Euro Disney S.C.A. to transfer its rights and obligations arising from this agreement to Euro Disney Associés.
If the Transfer is made, the Borrower and CDC agree to sign any supplemental agreement to this agreement and any relevant document which proved to be necessary or desirable in order to record Euro Disney Associés’s takeover of all the Borrower’s covenants under this agreement and any related document. The Borrower guarantee the observance of this covenant by Euro Disney Associés.
(b) Until 31 December 2004, CDC may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this agreement without obtaining the prior agreement of the Borrower.

This agreement has been entered into in view of setting forth in a sole agreement, the Agreement C incorporating the Amendments or any necessary change made pursuant to paragraph (G) of the introduction of this agreement.
12.9 Global Effective Rate
In order to meet the requirements of Articles L. 313–1 and L. 313–2 of the French Consumer Code and for this purpose only, CDC declares, by way of example, to the Borrower, which accepts, that the Global Effective Rate applicable to Tranche C, on the basis of a year comprising three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, will be:
4.85 % per annum,
29
This Global Effective Rate has been calculated on the basis of:
• A rate of 5.15 % per annum; and
• a Tranche C of a principal amount on the Date of Signing of one hundred fourteen million three hundred thirty six thousand euros (€114,336,600), drawn and used in its entirety on the Date of Signing.
