(c) Unless the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) objects to the establishment of the Ancillary Facility because it does not comply with the provisions of Clause 6.2 (Terms of Ancillary Facilities), then:

(i) the Lender concerned will become an Ancillary Lender; and

(ii) the Ancillary Facility will be available,

with effect from the date agreed by KDG and the Ancillary Lender.

(d) The Facility Agent must promptly notify the other Lenders of the matters referred to in paragraph (b) above.

under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Clause) in which case the provisions of this Agreement with regard to amendments and waivers will apply.

6.2 Terms of Ancillary Facilities

(a) Except as provided below, the terms of any Ancillary Facility will be those agreed by the Ancillary Lender and KDG.

(b) However, those terms:

(i) must be based upon normal commercial terms at that time;

(ii) must only allow KDVS to use the Ancillary Facility;

(iii) must not allow the Ancillary Outstandings to exceed the Ancillary Commitment (and if Ancillary Outstandings are calculated on a net basis must not allow the aggregate gross outstandings under the Ancillary Facility to exceed the amount approved by the Facility Agent);

(iv) must not allow the Ancillary Commitment of a Lender to exceed the undrawn B Facility Commitment of that Lender (before reduction on account of the Ancillary Commitment); and

(v) must ensure that the Ancillary Commitment is cancelled, and that all Ancillary Outstandings are repaid or cash-collateralised in full, not later than the Facility B Final Maturity Date.

(c) In the event of any conflict between the terms of an Ancillary Facility Document and any of the other Finance Documents, the terms of the relevant other Finance Document shall prevail.

6.3 Revolving Credit Commitment

An Ancillary Lender’s B Facility Commitment at any time shall be reduced by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment in force at that time and increased by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment cancelled from time to time.

6.4 Refinancing of Ancillary Facility

(a) No Ancillary Lender may cancel any of its Ancillary Commitment or demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts or demand cash cover for any liabilities made available or incurred by it under its Ancillary Facility (except where the Ancillary Facility is provided on a net limit basis to the extent required to bring any gross outstandings down to the net limit), unless:

(i) the B Facility Commitments have been cancelled in full, or the Facility Agent has declared all outstanding Loans under the B Facility immediately due and payable; or

(ii) the Ancillary Outstandings (if any) under that Ancillary Facility can be refinanced by a B Facility Loan and the Ancillary Lender gives sufficient notice to enable a B Facility Loan to be made to refinance those Ancillary Outstandings.

(b) For the purposes of determining whether or not the Ancillary Outstandings under that Ancillary Facility can be refinanced by a B Facility Loan:

(i) the B Facility Commitment of the Ancillary Lender will be increased by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment; and

(ii) the B Facility Loan may (provided that sub-paragraph (a)(i) above does not apply) be made irrespective of whether a Default is outstanding or any other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied (but only to the extent that the proceeds are applied in refinancing those Ancillary Outstandings) and irrespective of whether Clause 4.3 (Maximum number), Clause 5.2(d) (Completion of Requests) or Clause 5.2(e) (Completion of Requests) applies.

(i) each Lender will participate in that B Facility Loan in such amount (as determined by the Facility Agent) as will result as nearly as possible in the aggregate amount of its participation in the B Facility Loans then outstanding bearing the same proportion to the aggregate amount of the B Facility Loans then outstanding as its B Facility Commitment bears to the aggregate of the B Facility Commitments; and

(ii) the refinanced Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled.

9. INTEREST

9.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Term is the percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the applicable:

(a) Margin;

(b) EURIBOR; and

9.2 Payment of interest

Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last day of each Term and also, if the Term is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of that Term.

9.3 Margin adjustments

(a) Subject as set out below, the Margin for Facilities A and B will be calculated by reference to the table below and the information set out in each Compliance Certificate delivered after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement:

Column 1			Column 2
Ratio of Consolidated Senior Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA			Margin (per cent. per annum)
Greater than 4:1			2.00
Less than or equal to 4:1, but greater than 3.5:1			1.875
Less than or equal to 3.5:1			1.75

(b) Any adjustment to the Margin pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective from the date falling 5 Business Days after the date of delivery of the relevant Compliance Certificate and applicable accounts.

(i) KDG is in default of its obligation under this agreement to provide a Compliance Certificate; or

(ii) an Event of Default is outstanding,

the Margin for Facilities A and B will be 2.00 per cent. per annum, provided that once KDG has provided the outstanding Compliance Certificate or the Event of Default is no longer outstanding (as the case may be), that Margin shall revert to the applicable Margin calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

(d) If the Margin has been reduced under this Clause in reliance on a Compliance Certificate, but the subsequent audited financial statements of KDG do not confirm the reduction, the reduction will be reversed with retrospective effect. The Margin will instead be that calculated by reference to the relevant audited financial statements of KDG. If, in this event, any amount of interest has been paid by a Borrower on the basis of the Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must pay to the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, any shortfall in the amount which would have been paid to the Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the relevant audited financial statements.

9.4 Interest on overdue amounts

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

(b) Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan having the same designation as the Loan or Facility to which the overdue amount is in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent referable. For this purpose, the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) may:

(i) select successive Terms of any duration up to three months; and

(ii) determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable prior to the last day of its current Term, then:

(i) the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and

(ii) the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan.

After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

(d) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable.

9.5 Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent must promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

11. MARKET DISRUPTION

11.1 Failure of a Reference Bank to supply a rate

If EURIBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 12.00 noon (local time) on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable EURIBOR will, subject as provided below, be calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Banks.

11.2 Market disruption

(a) In this Clause, each of the following events is a market disruption event:

(i) EURIBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but no, or (where there is more than one Reference Bank) only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 12.00 noon (local time) on the Rate Fixing Day; or

(ii) the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from Lenders whose shares in the relevant Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Loan that

(b) The Facility Agent must promptly notify KDG and the Lenders of a market disruption event.

(c) After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share in the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable:

(c) If a Tax Deduction is required by law or by a decision of a taxing authority to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from the Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount paid free and clear of Tax equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(i) that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(ii) that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by that Finance Party (however, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose).

(c) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify KDVS of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

(b) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all value added tax or other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party is not entitled to repayment of or a credit for the relevant Tax.

A Bank Certificate shall under no circumstances constitute a waiver or release of any Security Interest.

(e) Each Obligor confirms to each Lender that:

(i) each Bank Certificate is given by each Lender solely for the purpose of delivery to the competent tax authorities of the German Borrowers and KDG to assist the German Borrowers and KDG in the administration of their tax affairs and not for any other purpose;

(g) It is the common understanding of the Parties that no Party is providing any legal and/or tax advice to any other Party with respect to this Agreement, in particular with respect to the application of section 8a of the KStG and the interpretation of the Decrees, and that it is the responsibility of each Party, in particular each Obligor, to consult its own legal and tax advisers.

(h) No Lender shall be liable as a result of the delivery of a Bank Certificate. KDVS agrees to indemnify each Lender with respect to any claims that might be made against any Lender with respect to any Bank Certificate by any third party (including but not limited to reasonable costs and legal fees), the Obligors being in this case jointly and severally liable to the respective Lender for such indemnification. Each Lender shall enable the Obligors to cooperate with them in connection with the defence of such claim.

(ii) No Lender shall be obliged to deliver any information or make any statements pursuant to this Clause 12.6 (German thin capitalisation confirmation letter) if by doing so it would contravene the terms of any applicable law or any notice, direction or requirement of any governmental or regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law).

(k) To the extent:

(i) the German tax authorities require a Borrower or KDG to provide, in addition to the Bank Certificate, further evidence or information; or

(ii) if as a consequence of:

(A) a change in law;

(B) a published decision of a general nature (such as a revenue ruling or decree) of a German tax authority; or

payments under the Facility are re-characterised as constructive dividends under the German thin capitalisation rules,

each Lender shall consider in good faith to what extent it can assist such Borrower and KDG to provide such evidence or information or to avoid such re-characterisation.

15.2 Funds

Payments under the Finance Documents must (unless otherwise expressly provided) be made to the Facility Agent for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the Facility Agent may specify to the Party concerned as being customary at the time for the settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place for payment.

(c) Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received it. However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been received by the Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

(a) Each of the Obligors and each of the Finance Parties agree that the Security Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant Finance Party) of each and every obligation of any Obligor towards each of the Finance Parties under this Agreement, and that accordingly the Security Agent will have its own separate and independent right to demand performance by the relevant Obligor of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such obligation to one of the Security Agent or the relevant Finance Party shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against any Obligor (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Finance Documents), the Security Agent agrees with each other Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint creditor with a Finance Party except with the consent of the relevant Finance Party.

(b) for any Test Period (other than one to which paragraph (a) applies) that includes any of the fifth and sixth quarterly Accounting Periods following the closing date of a Permitted Acquisition, the pro forma increase in Consolidated EBITDA of the acquired entity, property, business, material fixed asset or the Group (without double counting) projected to be realisable as a result of Eligible Cost Savings, provided that (i) so long as such Eligible Cost Savings are projected to be realisable at any time during such period, it may be assumed for the purpose of projecting such pro forma increase that such Eligible Costs will be realisable during the whole of such period; and (ii) such increase in Consolidated EBITDA of the Group may not exceed 5 per cent. of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Group (after giving effect to such increase).

(b) No item shall be deducted or credited more than once in any calculation.

(c) Where an amount in the Accounts is not denominated in euro, it shall be converted into euro at the rates specified in the Accounts (and notwithstanding paragraph (h) of the definition of Financial Indebtedness, any rate specified in the Accounts as a result of any currency hedging entered into by a member of the Group may be used for this purpose).

(d) For the purposes of calculating the financial covenants in Clauses 18.1 to 18.4 (inclusive):

(i) the results of an acquired entity, property, business or material fixed asset acquired in a Permitted Acquisition and the Financial Indebtedness borrowed by the Group to fund that acquisition (and associated interest costs) shall be ignored for the quarterly Accounting Period in which that acquisition occurs and for all prior Accounting Periods;

(ii) for each of the three full quarterly Accounting Periods to occur after the closing date of that acquisition, the results of the relevant acquired entity, property, business or material fixed asset so acquired (beginning with the first full quarterly Accounting Period to occur after the closing date of the acquisition for that entity) will be included on an annualised basis, taking into account the increase by the Pro Forma Adjustment; and

(iii) Consolidated EBITDA of the Group shall be increased by the Pro Forma Adjustment.

18.5 Cure rights

(a) If KDG is in breach of a financial covenant in this Clause 18, it may cure that breach by procuring that it receives an amount (the Cure Amount) of an equity contribution, Shareholder Loan or other subordinated debt (subordinated on terms satisfactory to the Facility Agent) within 30 days following the last day of the Test Period in respect of which the breach occurred.

27. CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

27.1 Assignments and transfers by Obligors

No Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

27.2 Assignments and transfers by Lenders

(a) A Lender (the Existing Lender) may, subject to the following provisions of this Clause, at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other bank or financial institution or to a Fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or

103

investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the New Lender), provided that, in the case of a partial assignment or transfer (including by way of novation) of any of its rights and obligations, a minimum amount of e5,000,000 (unless to a Bank Affiliate of a Lender) must be assigned or transferred.

(b) Without limitation to the generality of paragraph (a), a New Lender may be a bank or financial institution or a trust or fund or other person which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, a transfer by one or more Existing Lenders to a Fund must be in an amount such that the Fund and its Related Funds taken together will have a Commitment in a minimum amount of e1,000,000. For the purposes of this Clause, Funds are Related Funds if they are managed or advised by the same investment manager or advisor or, if managed by different investment managers or advisors, the investment advisors or managers are Affiliates.

(d) No assignment or transfer under this Clause will be effective until the Facility Agent has completed all know your customer requirements relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment or transfer. The Facility Agent is not obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate until it has completed all know your customer requirements to its satisfaction.

(e) A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:

(i) the obligations are novated in accordance with the provisions of Clause 27.3 (Procedure for transfer by way of novation); or

(ii) the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and KDG in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent and KDG that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender and by the terms of the Priority Agreement as a Senior Creditor (as defined in the Priority Agreement).

On the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender.

(f) Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees, the New Lender must pay to the Facility Agent for its own account, on or before the date any assignment or transfer occurs, a fee of e1,500.

(g) Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement.

(h) A Lender may sub-participate its obligations and/or rights under this Agreement.

27.3 Procedure for transfer by way of novation

(a) A novation is effected if:

(i) the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and

(ii) the Facility Agent executes it.

104

The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order.

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

(i) the New Lender will assume the rights and/or obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing Lender;

(ii) the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations (and any corresponding obligations assumed by it in the Priority Agreement) and cease to have those rights (and any corresponding rights conferred on it by the Priority Agreement); and

(iii) the New Lender will become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to the Priority Agreement as a Senior Creditor (as defined in the Priority Agreement).

27.4 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender

(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 financial condition of any Obligor;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, enforceability, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of:

(A) any Finance Document or any other document;

(B) any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document; or

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(ii) has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(iii) is a person whose ordinary business includes participation in syndicated facilities of this type.

105

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

(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise.

27.5 Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office

If:

(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs and as a result of the assignment, transfer or change, an Obligor would be or become obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

then, unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by a Lender in order to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to the Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred.

27.6 Replacement of Lender at option of KDG

(a) If at any time any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined in paragraph (c) below), then KDG may, on 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to this Clause 27 (Changes to the Parties) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank or financial institution or to a Fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purposes of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (a Replacement Lender) selected by KDG, and which is acceptable to the Facility Agent acting reasonably, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Loans, any Ancillary Outstandings and all accrued interest (and any Break Costs) and fees and other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Clause shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) KDG shall have no right to replace the Facility Agent or Security Agent;

(ii) neither the Facility Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to KDG to find a Replacement Lender;

(iii) such replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender must take place no later than 30 days after the date the Non-Consenting Lender notified KDG and the Facility Agent of its failure or refusal to agree to any consent, waiver or amendment to the Finance Documents requested by KDG; and

106

(iv) in no event shall the Lender replaced under this Clause be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents.

(i) KDG or the Facility Agent (at the request of KDG) has requested the Lenders to consent to a waiver or amendment of any provisions of the Finance Documents;

(ii) the waiver or amendment in question requires the consent of all of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders; and

(iii) the Majority Lenders have consented to such waiver or amendment,

then any Lender who refuses to agree to such waiver or amendment shall be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender.

27.7 Additional Borrowers

(a) Any Subsidiary of KDG (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) may become an Additional Borrower by executing an Obligor Accession Deed.

(b) The Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) may impose such limitations on the ability of an Additional Borrower to borrow under any Facility (other than, in respect of an Add-On Facility, the original borrowers named in the relevant Add-On Facility Accession Agreement) as it deems reasonably necessary (acting reasonably).

(c) The prior consent of all the Lenders is required if the Additional Borrower is not incorporated or established in Germany.

(d) Until the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and KDG that the documents and evidence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 supplied by an Additional Borrower are in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), that Additional Borrower may not use any Facility (other than, in respect of an Add-On Facility, the original borrowers named in the relevant Add-On Facility Accession Agreement). The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such documents and evidence in form and substance satisfactory to it (acting reasonably).

(e) Delivery of an Obligor Accession Deed, executed by the relevant Subsidiary and KDG, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and KDG that the Repeating Representations are then correct.

(f) KDG shall, and shall procure that each member of the Group shall, promptly give the Facility Agent all assistance it requires in relation to the security to be granted pursuant to this Agreement including promptly answering all reasonable questions of the Facility Agent and its advisors in relation to the assets of the Group.

27.8 Release of Security

If a transaction is:

(a) permitted by the terms of Clause 19.7 (Disposals); or

107

(b) being effected at the request of the Majority Lenders in circumstances where any of the security created by the Security Documents has become enforceable; or

(d) being done to give effect to the reorganisation contemplated by paragraph (c) of the definition of Permitted Reorganisation,

the Security Agent is irrevocably authorised to execute on behalf of each Finance Party and each Obligor (and at the cost of the relevant Obligor):

(i) any release of the security created by the Security Documents over that asset; and

(ii) if that asset comprises all of the shares or other ownership interest in the capital of any Obligor (or any Holding Company of an Obligor) held by members of the Group and the disposal is being effected in the circumstances referred to in paragraph (b) above, a release of that Obligor and its Subsidiaries from all present and future liabilities (both actual and contingent and including any liability to any other Obligor under the Finance Documents by way of contribution or indemnity) in its capacity as a Borrower under the Finance Documents and a release of any Security Interests granted by that Obligor and its Subsidiaries over any of their respective assets under the Security Documents.

The Security Agent shall be obliged to consent to any release referred to in (i) above in relation to any disposal permitted in (a) above. Each Finance Party will execute such releases as the Security Agent may reasonably require to give effect to this Clause. No such release will affect the obligations of any other Obligor under the Finance Documents. The Security Agent is authorised by the Finance Parties to, and shall on request of KDG release any Security Interests granted over any rights under any Transaction Document to allow any member of the Group to take any action permitted under Clause 19.22 (Amendments to documents). The Security Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any statement of KDG as to the manner or extent of any affect of such exercise of such member’s rights and otherwise as to compliance with Clauses 19.22 (Amendments to documents).

28. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

(a) Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information:

(ii) any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document.

However, before a participant may receive any confidential information, it must enter into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

29. SET-OFF

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

30. PRO RATA SHARING

30.1 Redistribution

If any amount owing by an Obligor under any of the Finance Documents to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then:

(a) the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received by the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

(a) The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders, other than the recovering Lender, accordingly.

(b) When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

109

(c) If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Lender a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

(d) If:

(i) a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

(ii) the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

(a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution;

(c) in the case of an Ancillary Lender, to the extent that the recovery represents a reduction in the gross amount of Ancillary Outstandings to any net limit imposed under the original terms of the relevant Ancillary Facility.

31. SEVERABILITY

SCHEDULE 4

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1. General

The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average of the rates for each Lender calculated below by the Facility Agent on the first day of a Term. The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.

2. For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K.

(a) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is calculated in accordance with the following formulae:

E x 0.01	per cent per annum
300

where on the day of application of the formula:

E is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent under paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per £1 million.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph 2:

(i) eligible liabilities and special deposit have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula by the Bank of England;

(ii) fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook; and

(iii) tariff base has the meaning given to it in the fees rules.

(d) (i) Each Reference Bank must supply to the Facility Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules (calculated by that Reference Bank as being the average of the rates of charge within fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) applicable to that Reference Bank but, for this purpose, applying any applicable discount and ignoring any minimum fee required under the fees rules) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank.

(ii) Each Reference Bank must promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the rate of charge.

(e) (i) Each Lender and each Reference Bank must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender or Reference Bank. The Facility Agent may assume that this information is correct in all respects.

123

(ii) If a Lender or a Reference Bank fails to do so, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s or that Reference Bank’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits, special deposits and the fees rules are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the U.K.

(iii) The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender.

3. For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State

(a) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent as its cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b) If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost.

4. Changes

The Facility Agent may, after consultation with KDG and the Lenders, notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:

(a) any change in law or regulation; or

(b) any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority).

Any notification will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.

FORM OF TRANSFER CERTIFICATE

It is expected that the Lenders will enter into separate arrangements dealing with the monies to be paid to the Existing Lender by the Substitute in consideration of the novation (e.g. principal, accrued interest, fees and any mismatched funding adjustment).

SCHEDULE 12

SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

(a) The security to be provided in connection with this Agreement will be given in accordance with certain agreed security principles as set out herein (the Security Principles).

(b) All parties recognise that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective security from all members of the Group over all assets. In particular:

(i) general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, retention of title claims and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to enter into a Security Document or to give a guarantee;

(ii) a key factor in determining whether or not security shall be taken is the applicable cost;

(iii) any assets subject to third party arrangements which may prevent those assets from being charged will be excluded from any relevant Security Document if the owner of those assets having used all reasonable endeavours to get the third party’s consent to the charging of those assets, does not obtain such consent;

(iv) members of the Group will be required to enter into Security Documents if it is not unlawful for the relevant person to execute and deliver such Security Documents and that person executing and delivering such Security Documents would not result in personal liability for that person’s directors or other management. Each Obligor must use, and must procure that the relevant person uses, all reasonable endeavours lawfully to avoid any such unlawfulness or personal liability. This includes agreeing to a limit on the amount secured. The Facility Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) agree to such a limit if, in its opinion, to do so might avoid the relevant unlawfulness or personal liability;

(v) the giving of a guarantee, granting of security 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 Obligor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Finance Documents or would otherwise be unduly onerous.

2. SHARE SECURITY

Where an Obligor pledges shares, the Security Document will (subject to agreed exceptions) be governed by the law of the company whose shares are being pledged and not by the law of the country of the pledgor.

147

3. TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of all security taken as part of this transaction:

(a) security will not be enforceable until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of non-payment for five Business Days has been given by the Facility Agent;

(b) the Security Documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, they should not contain additional representations or undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, information or the payment of costs) unless these are the same as those contained in this Agreement or are covenants required for the creation or perfection of the security;

(c) in respect of any share or interest pledge, until an Event of Default has occurred, the relevant Obligor shall permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares or interests pledged by it in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and that Obligor shall be permitted to pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent permitted under the Finance Documents;

(d) the Finance Parties shall only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to them under the Security Documents if an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration has been given by the Facility Agent under the Facility Agreement or a payment default has occurred; and

(e) notarisation required in respect of any Security Document governed by German law may, at the option of the relevant Obligor, be carried out in Switzerland.
