BACKGROUND


A.	The Company (as defined below) is an indirect subsidiary of RGHL and a member of the Xxxxxxxx group of companies (the “Xxxxxxxx Group”).

It is contemplated that the Company may be required to take certain steps as may be necessary or desirable in respect of the Xxxxxxxx Group’s existing financing arrangements (the “Existing Financing Arrangements”) and to effect other acquisitions, dispositions, financings, refinancings or corporate restructurings in connection with any future acquisition, disposition, financing, corporate restructuring or any other transaction entered into by members of the Xxxxxxxx Group (each such transaction, a “Prospective Transaction”, and collectively, the “Prospective Transactions”).

(The Existing Financing Arrangements together with the Prospective Transactions are, collectively, the “Transactions”, and the documents relating to the Transactions, are collectively, the “Transaction Documents”.)


B.	RGHL has agreed to provide an indemnity to the Indemnitees (as defined below) in respect of the Transactions, as further described below.

It is the intention of RGHL that this document be executed as an agreement (this “Agreement”) in favour and for the benefit of each Indemnitee.

THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES as follows:


1.	Definitions

“Indemnitee” means each person listed in Part B of the Schedule to this Agreement and, after the date of this Agreement, any person serving as or elected to or appointed to serve as a director or officer of the Company; and

“Company” means the company listed in Part A of the Schedule to this Agreement.


2.	Indemnification

Subject to an Indemnitee complying with the procedures in clause 4 below, RGHL shall indemnify each Indemnitee against all legal expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges in connection therewith) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by an Indemnitee or on an Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any proceeding resulting from or relating to decisions the Indemnitee made or any actions the Indemnitee took on behalf of the Company in his or her capacity as a director or officer of that company in connection with any Transactions or the approval or execution of any Transaction Document or associated corporate authorization or resolutions or documents in relation to the Transactions.


3.	Limitations on Indemnification

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:


(a)	to the extent that such indemnification is not permitted by applicable laws; or


(b)	to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are the result of the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of the Indemnitee; or


(c)	to the extent that payment is actually made, or for which payment is available, to or on behalf of the relevant Indemnitee under an insurance policy, except in respect of any amount in excess of the limits of liability of such policy or any applicable deductible for such policy; or


(d)	to the extent that payment has or will be made to the relevant Indemnitee by the Company or any affiliate of RGHL otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement; or


(e)	in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) or appeal in relation to a proceeding initiated by an Indemnitee, unless:


(i)	such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;


(ii)	the proceeding was authorised by the shareholder(s) (or other decision making organ) of the Company; or


(iii)	such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.


4.	Indemnification Procedure


4.1	To qualify for indemnification under this Agreement, each Indemnitee shall give RGHL notice in writing as soon as practicable of any proceeding in relation to that Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement.


4.2	To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall submit to RGHL a written request therefore, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by RGHL and reasonably available to the relevant Indemnitee.


4.3	Subject to clauses 4.2 and 4.4, RGHL shall make such indemnification payment within 30 business days of receipt of such invoices and supporting information.

4.4

There shall be no presumption in favour of indemnification. If there is a dispute between RGHL and an Indemnitee as to whether that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then independent legal counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of RGHL to make such determination. The selected independent legal counsel shall make such determination within 30 business days of being selected and the decision of such independent legal counsel shall be binding upon all RGHL and the relevant Indemnitee.


5.	Continuation of Agreement


5.1	Subject to clauses 5.2 and 5.3, this Agreement shall remain in effect in favor and for the benefit of each Indemnitee with respect to any action or failure to act of such Indemnitee during the term of service of such Indemnitee as a director or officer of the Company, whether or not the term of service of such Indemnitee has concluded.


5.2	An indemnity provided to an Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities will be terminated in any of the following circumstances:


(a)	on RGHL giving an Indemnitee at least one month’s prior written notice; or


(b)	automatically and with immediate effect if the Company ceases to be wholly-owned (whether directly or indirectly) by RGHL.

Termination will not affect the Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified under clause 2 for any otherwise Indemnified Liability in respect of an act or omission before the date of termination.


5.3	Any indemnity ceases to apply to the Indemnitee 10 years after the Indemnitee ceases to be a director or officer of the Company.


6.	Severability

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.


7.	Governing law
