Oktober 2007 – 34 – 32901)”) and the general conditions for state guarantees of the State of Saxony-Anhalt (“Allgemeine Bestimmungen für Landesbürgschaften zur Wirtschaftsförderung des Xxxxxx Sachsen-Anhalt vom 10.

4.1 Interest Period

4.1.1 Prior to the First Repayment Date

(a) Interest Periods will be of one (1), three (3) or six (6) months duration at the option of the Borrower provided that any Interest Period relating to an Advance made under the Facility commencing at the same time as or during another Interest Period relating to an Advance made shall be of such duration that it shall end on the same date as that other Interest Period;

- 21-

(b) an Interest Period which would otherwise extend beyond the First Repayment Date shall end on the First Repayment Date; and

(c) if the Borrower fails to give notice of an Interest Period, its term will be one (1) month, or any shorter period as the Agent determines to be necessary to comply with the requirements pursuant to Clauses 4.1.5.

4.1.2 Following the First Repayment Date, Interest Periods commencing on or after the First Repayment Date relating to Advances made will end on the next following Repayment Date, thus in each case (other than each first Interest Period which shall start on the respective Drawdown Date and end on the first Repayment Date thereafter) being of six (6) months duration.

4.1.3 The Borrower will, where appropriate, give irrevocable notice to the Agent of the chosen Interest Period in the relevant Drawdown Request or, if the Advance has already been made, in an irrevocable written notice to be received by the Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the commencement of that Interest Period. At the latest three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Period chosen by the Borrower, the Agent will give notice to the Lenders and the Guarantors of any notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 4.1.3.

4.1.4 The first Interest Period with respect to an Advance will commence on its Drawdown Date, and each subsequent Interest Period will commence on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

4.1.5 If two or more Interest Periods relating to Advances end at the same time, then, on the last day of those Interest Periods, the Advances to which they relate will be consolidated into and treated as a single Advance.

4.1.6 The Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the duration of each Interest Period in respect of each Advance promptly after having determined the same.

4.2 Interest Rate

The rate of interest applicable to an Advance from time to time during an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of EURIBOR on the Quotation Date therefore, the Margin and Mandatory Costs, if any.

- 22-

4.3 Payment of Interest

The Borrower will pay accrued interest for each Interest Period on the last day of such Interest Period. Interest will accrue during each Interest Period from and including the first day of such Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

4.4 Notification

The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of the Interest Rate and interest payable in relation to each Advance. Each determination of the Interest Rate by the Agent will, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

4.5 Default Interest

4.5.1 If the Borrower fails to pay any amount (other than interest) payable by it hereunder on its due date, interest will accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment at a rate which is 1 per cent higher than:

(a) in relation to an amount becoming due and payable before expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, for the period until the expiration of such Interest Period the rate applicable to such overdue amount immediately prior to the due date; and

(b) in all other cases, the Interest Rate on the most recent Quotation Date for such periods as the Agent may designate, provided, however, that such Interest Period will not exceed three (3) months.

4.5.2 If the Borrower fails to pay any interest payable by it hereunder on its due date, it will pay, at the time of payment of all arrears of interest, lump sum damages (pauschalierter Schadensersatz) on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment at a percentage rate which is 1 per cent. higher than the interest rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted an Advance for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably).

4.5.3 In the case of lump sum damages, the Borrower shall be free to prove that no damages have arisen or that damages have not arisen in the asserted amount and any Finance Party shall be entitled to prove that further damages have arisen. Any interest or lump sum accruing under this Clause 4.5 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Agent.

- 23-

4.5.4 The right of the Lenders to compensation for any loss arising from the default remains unaffected. Payments made under Clause 4.5.2 will however be deducted from such compensation.

4.5.5 The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the determination of any default interest. Each determination by the Agent will, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

5. MARKET DISRUPTION

5.1 Market Disruption

If, on any Quotation Date in relation to any Advance and any Interest Period:

5.1.1 EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to Reference Banks and at or about 11.00 a.m. on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate for the purpose of determining the EURIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or

5.1.2 before the close of business in Frankfurt am Main on the Quotation Date for such Advance, the Agent has been notified by Lenders to whom in aggregate 50 per cent. or more of the principal of the relevant Advance is owed that EURIBOR does not, by reason of circumstances affecting the inter-bank market generally, accurately reflect the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits for their participation in such Advance,

then, notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, the Agent will promptly give written notice (the “Suspension Notice”) to the Borrower and the Lenders of such event.

5.2 Alternative Basis of Interest

5.2.1 If Clause 5.1.1 (Market Disruption) applies, the applicable Interest Period will be one (1), three (3) or six (6) month(s) at the option of the Agent or such shorter period to end on any Repayment Date, and the interest rate applicable will be the weighted average of the interest rates notified by the Lenders to the Agent on or before the last day of the relevant Interest Period to reflect the cost of funding (regardless from what sources a Lender may reasonably select to fund its participation) their participation in the relevant Advance, expressed as a percentage per annum plus the Margin applicable to such Advance and Mandatory Costs, if any.

- 24-

5.2.2 If Clause 5.1.2 (Market Disruption) applies, the interest rate applicable to the affected Lenders’ participation in the relevant Advance shall be:

(a) in respect of each Lender having notified the Agent in accordance with Clause 5.1.2 (Market Disruption) the interest rate notified by it to the Agent pursuant to the principles as set out in Clause 5.2 (Alternative Basis of Interest); and

(b) in respect of all other Lenders EURIBOR and the Margin applicable to such Advance and Mandatory Costs, if any.

5.3 Negotiations

During a period of thirty (30) days upon the giving of the Suspension Notice, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing on the rate of interest or a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest, including without limitation alternative Interest Periods or alternative methods of determining the interest rate from time to time, (whereby a margin above the cost of funding of each Lender’s participation in the Advance equivalent to the Margin has to be included) and any such rate of interest or substitute basis that is agreed will take effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each party.

5.4 Prepayment

The Borrower may elect at any time during which an interest rate is determined pursuant to Clause 5.2 (Alternative Basis of Interest) to give notice to a Lender in writing through the Agent that it intends to prepay in full such Lender’s participation in each Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period for that Advance.

10. ILLEGALITY

If at any time it is or becomes unlawful or impracticable, by reason of any adoption, amendment or change of official application or interpretation of any law or regulation or any directive, request or requirement (whether or not having

- 28-

the force of law) from any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority, having jurisdiction over any Lender for such Lender to fund, or to allow to remain outstanding, all or any of its participations in Advances made or to be made, or to maintain its Commitment, or to charge or receive interest or fees hereunder at the rate applicable, such Lender will promptly after becoming aware thereof notify the Borrower through the Agent and:

10.1 the Commitment of such Lender under the Facility will forthwith be reduced to zero; and

11. INCREASED COSTS

11.1 Increased Costs

Where any Lender certifies that, as a result of the adoption or amendment of or any change of official application or interpretation of any law, regulation, directive, request or requirement (being legally binding or, if not legally binding to the extent that non-compliance therewith would be impracticable) (including without limitation any law, regulation or requirement relating to taxation, reserve assets, special deposits, cash ratio, liquidity or capital adequacy requirements, but not including any law, directive, request, regulation or requirement as in effect on the date hereof or already adopted but not yet in force on the date hereof):

11.1.1 such Lender or any of its affiliated companies incurs a cost in relation to such Lender being a party to and/or performing its obligations and/or exercising its rights under this Agreement;

11.1.2 the cost to such Lender of making available or maintaining or funding its participation in any Advance or maintaining its Commitment is increased;

11.1.3 any sum received or receivable by such Lender under or in connection with this Agreement is reduced;

11.1.4 the effective return of such Lender in connection with this Agreement is reduced; or

(a) a Lender intending to make a claim pursuant to the above will notify the Borrower through the Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim;

- 29-

(b) the Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender upon demand of the Agent such amounts as are certified by such Lender to be necessary to fully compensate such Lender for such cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other return, after reduction of benefits which accrue to such Lender directly or indirectly because of such event and reasonably allocable to such costs; and

(c) the Borrower may, by giving irrevocable notice to the Agent, prepay to such Lender its participation in each Advance together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period for that Advance, or on such earlier date as such Lender certifies to be necessary having regard to the relevant circumstances.

11.2 For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 11 shall not apply in case of a removal of the guarantor’s liability (Gewährträgerhaftung) regarding German public savings banks, state banks and public credit institutions of the Federal Republic of Germany and its states.

12. TAXES

12.1 All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding on account of any taxes unless the Borrower is required by law to make such deduction or withholding, in which case the Borrower will:

12.1.1 ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; and

12.1.2 forthwith pay to the Lenders such additional amounts so as to ensure that the amount received by each Lender will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no deduction or withholding been made,

provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts will not apply in respect of:

(a) any taxes measured or imposed upon the overall net income or the overall capital or net worth of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, and all franchise taxes, branch taxes, or taxes on doing business; or

- 30-

(b) any taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of any Lender to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement, if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such taxes.

12.2 The Borrower will pay all stamp, recording or similar taxes payable in respect of the execution, delivery and enforcement of the Transaction Documents promptly when due.

12.3 If any Lender or the Agent is obliged to make any payment on account of taxes referred to in Clause 12.2 or if any other additional tax burdens occur in connection with the Transaction Documents the Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Agent from any payment on account of such taxes.

12.4 If, in the good faith determination of a Lender:

(a) such Lender has obtained a tax refund or tax allowance or tax credit as a result of, and directly attributable to, an additional payment of the Borrower under Clause 12.1; and

(b) it can make a lawful payment to the Borrower in an amount leaving it in no better or worse position than it would have been had the payment by the Borrower been made without any deduction or withholding,

then after actual receipt or usage of such tax refund or tax allowance or tax credit it will pay such amount to the Agent for the account of the Borrower. The Lender will make commercially reasonable efforts where permitted by law to claim a refund or allowance or credit, but will not be obliged to disclose any information as to its tax situation to the Borrower or to any other person acting on the Borrower’s behalf.

12.5 If the Borrower is required to make any payment to a relevant tax or other authority for which the Borrower has made a deduction or withholding under Clause 12.1, the Borrower will pay the full amount of the deduction or withholding within the applicable periods to the relevant authority and will deliver to the Agent for the account of each Lender concerned as soon as reasonably practical following the making of such payment the original receipt or a certified copy thereof and/or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Lender that the payment has been made.

21.5 Compliance with Legal Provisions

21.6 Advisers

The Agent may retain and pay for the advice or services of any of the Advisers or any expert whose advice in its opinion is necessary or appropriate and rely upon any advice so obtained and shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any of the Lenders for any of the consequences where such reliance is in good faith.

21.7 Liability

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, him or them under or in connection with this Agreement, the Security Agreements, the Shareholders’ Undertaking Agreement or any other Transaction Document and any related documentation except, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent of its, his, or their gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith.

21.8 Agency

The Agent will in performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Security Agreements, Shareholders’ Undertaking Agreement and any other Transaction Document solely act as the agent of the Lenders and will not assume

- 62-

or be deemed to have assumed any obligation as agent or otherwise for the Borrower or any of its Shareholders, except as specifically stated herein or in any other Transaction Document. The Agent will have no liability or responsibility to the Borrower or any Lender in connection with any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or Lenders (other than the Agent in its capacity as a Lender) or the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Security Agreements, the Shareholders’ Undertaking Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

21.9 No Verification Duties

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger will be responsible for or obliged to verify:

21.9.2 for any information given to any of the Lenders in respect of the Borrower or any matter relating to the Facility;

21.10 Transaction Analysis

Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own analysis of this transaction (including, without limitation, all agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement) without relying on the Agent or the Arranger and based on such information as it has deemed appropriate, and has reached its decision to enter into this Agreement based on its own investigations, and that it will continue to make its decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement based on such investigations as it shall deem appropriate. Each Lender hereby confirms that it does not have any objections to any agreements entered into in accordance with this Agreement.

21.11 Instruction by Majority Lenders

In the exercise of any right or power and in relation to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Security Agreements, the Shareholders’ Undertaking Agreement or any other Transaction Document the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Majority

- 63-

Lenders to be given by the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days of the Lenders having received a respective request from the Agent and will be fully protected in so doing, except to the extent of its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith. In the absence of such instructions being given, or if the Agent were not provided with security satisfactory to it, whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any liability or loss which it may incur in taking any proceedings or action in connection with this Agreement, the Security Agreements, the Shareholders’ Undertaking Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it thinks fit provided that it shall only take action while the above period for the issue of instructions is running if it determines that there is an urgent need to do so.

21.12 Indemnity

Each Lender will indemnify the Agent and the Arranger on demand from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever including any VAT thereon which the Agent or the Arranger may incur other than by reason of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (or the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of its delegates or receivers) in acting in its respective capacity as Agent or Arranger (unless the Agent or Arranger has been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to a Financing Document). Such indemnification will be made rateably in proportion to each Lender’s Commitment.

21.13 Same Rights and Liabilities, Business with the Borrower

In relation to its participation in the Facility which the Agent or any Lender and/or the Arranger will or may have from time to time, each of them will have the same rights, liabilities and powers under this Agreement as though it had not assumed such capacity. The Agent, the Arranger or any Lender or any of their respective associated companies may engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of their respective associated companies as if it were not the Agent, a Lender or, as the case may be, the Arranger.

21.14 Designation of New Office

Subject to Clause 21.5 (Compliance with Legal Provisions), the Agent may from time to time by giving notice to the Borrower and the Lenders designate an office or branch different from that acting at the time of giving notice, from which its duties under this Agreement will be performed thereafter provided that the Borrower will not be obligated to pay any fees, taxes or other costs or expenses to the extent the same would not have been payable in the absence of such designation.

21.15 Resignation

The Agent may resign at any time its appointment under this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the other parties hereto, and the Agent may be

- 64-

removed from its position under this Agreement by the Majority Lenders giving written notice to that effect to the Borrower and the Agent. Any such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the notification of the acceptance of the appointment by the successor in its respective position in accordance with Clause 21.16 (Appointment of Successor).

21.16 Appointment of Successor

In the event of a resignation or removal of the Agent, the Majority Lenders will be entitled to appoint a successor in the position, upon agreement of the Borrower. A resignation or removal of the Agent under this Agreement, requires also a resignation or removal under the Pulp Mill Facility Agreement. If no such successor has been appointed within 30 days from the notice of resignation or notice of removal then the Agent will be entitled, upon agreement of the Borrower, to appoint any reputable and experienced bank or other financial institution as its successor.

21.17 Acceptance of Appointment

The acceptance of the appointment will be notified by any Lender being appointed for such purpose by the Majority Lenders to the Agent and upon such notification the relevant successor will succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of its predecessor. The resigning or removed Agent will do all such things as may be necessary to give effect to the succession and will thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement (except for those under Clause 21.7 (Liability)), but shall continue to benefit from the provisions of this Clause 21.7 (Liability) in respect of any actions or omissions taken in its capacity as Agent. Such discharges do not exempt the Borrower from any of its liabilities.

21.18 Arranger

The Arranger has no duties or responsibilities whatsoever in connection with the operation or administration of the Facility.

21.19 Facility Office

The Agent may assume that the Facility Office or, as the case may be, each Facility Office of each Lender is that identified in Schedule 5 (Lenders and Commitments) (or, in the case of a transferee, at the end of the Transfer Certificate to which it is a party as transferee) until it has received from such Lender a notice designating some other office of such Lender to replace any such Facility Office, and the Agent may act upon any such notice until the same is superseded by a further such notice.

21.20 Missing Communication

The Agent may, if it is unable to obtain instructions or communicate with a Lender after making reasonable attempts to do so, either refrain from acting as

- 65-

Agent on behalf of such Lender or take such action on behalf of such Lender as it in its absolute discretion deems appropriate, and shall not be liable to such Lender as a result of any such action or inaction.

21.21 Majority Lenders’ Decisions

Without prejudice to the provisions in clause 7 (Amendments to the Financing Documents) of the Security Pooling Agreement, all amendments, consents and waivers under this Agreement may be given by the Agent acting on the direction of the Majority Lenders. Any changes in maturity, amounts payable, changes affecting the State Guarantee, changes in the Borrower, the Security, Clause 28 (Assignments and Transfers), the definition of Majority Lenders and this Clause 21.21 will, however, require unanimity of all Lenders.

22. ADVISERS

22.1 The resignation or dismissal of an Adviser will be in accordance with its respective mandate.

22.2 Subject to the terms of the relevant mandate the Agent or the Arranger, as the case may be, will, if so instructed by the Majority Lenders cancel the appointment of an Adviser.

22.3 If the mandate of an Adviser is terminated prematurely for whatever reason, the Agent will, with the consent of the Majority Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor at terms and conditions which are as similar to the terms and conditions on the initial mandate as is reasonably practical, and in such a manner that the duties of the relevant Adviser are continuously performed.

22.4 The Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of the Technical Adviser until six (6) months after Final Completion upon the expiry of its existing mandate.

23. FEES

23.1 Commitment Fee

in each case subject to the terms of any agreement then made by the Borrower and the Agent relating to such costs and expenses.

24.2 Preservation and Enforcement of Rights

The Borrower will, from time to time on demand of the Agent reimburse the Lenders, the Agent, the Security Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) on a full indemnity basis together with any VAT thereon incurred by them in connection with the preservation and/or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent, the Security Agent or the Lenders under the Financing Documents and any document referred to in the Financing Documents.

- 68-

25. INDEMNITY AND BREAKAGE COSTS

25.1 Indemnity

The Borrower undertakes to indemnify the Lenders, the Agent and the Security Agent, except where any such costs, loss, expense or liability results from a Lender’s, the Agent’s and the Security Agent’s gross negligence, wilful default, bad faith or the breach of any of a Lender’s, the Agent’s and the Security Agent’s obligations under the Financing Documents against:

25.1.1 any reasonable cost, claim, loss, expense (including reasonable legal fees) or liability together with any VAT thereon, which it may sustain or incur as a consequence of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any default by the Borrower in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in any of the Transaction Documents; and

25.1.2 any reasonable cost or loss it may suffer as a result of any claim or proceeding against it relating to its involvement in the transactions contemplated hereby or any use of the proceeds of the Facility.

26. SET-OFF

Each Lender may set off any matured obligation owed by the Borrower under this Agreement against any obligation owed by the Lender to the Borrower,

- 69-

regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Lender may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of set-off.

27. PRO-RATA SHARING

27.1 If at any time the proportion received or recovered by any Lender by way of set-off or otherwise (other than through the Agent in accordance with clause 9 (Payments) of the Pulp Mill Facility Agreement) in respect of its portion of any amounts due from the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement is greater than the proportion thereof which the Lender would have received through the Agent if distributed in accordance with clause 9 (Payments) of the Pulp Mill Facility Agreement (the difference between the amount received or recovered (after deduction of any costs incurred by the Lender in connection with such receipt or recovery) by the Lender and the amount which the Lender would have received or recovered had the recovery been received through the Agent if distributed in accordance with clause 9 (Payments) of the Pulp Mill Facility Agreement hereinafter called the “Excess Amount”), then:

provided that:

(a) if the Excess Amount or any part thereof thereafter has to be repaid to the Borrower by the Lender having received the Excess Amount, each of the Lenders will repay to the Agent for the account of such Lender such proportion of the amount received by it out of the Excess Amount (plus any interest legally demanded by the Borrower in respect of such proportion) as corresponds to the proportion of the Excess Amount which has to be repaid by the relevant Lender to the Borrower; and

(b) sums recovered as a result of litigation started by a Lender to enforce its rights under this Agreement and resulting in an Excess Amount will only be shared with all Lenders other than Lenders which were aware of such litigation and did not join in such litigation without being legally prevented from doing so.

(c) following such transfer the circumstances envisaged in Clauses 10 (Illegality) or 11 (Increased Costs) would neither apply, nor reasonably be expected to apply and the Borrower would not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, any obligations under Clause 12.1.2 (Taxes).

Neither the Agent nor the relevant Lender will in any way be liable or responsible for such information not being kept confidential by such proposed assignee, participant or Transferee or other person if a confidentiality undertaking has been obtained from such proposed assignee, participant, Transferee or other person in a form agreed between the relevant Lender and the Borrower.

For this purpose, each Lender hereby grants power of attorney to each of the Agent and the Security Agent to submit and accept any declarations in connection with this Agreement and each Lender releases the Agent and the Security Agent (to the extent legally permissible) from the restrictions contained in § 181 BGB. If, and to the extent, a release from the restrictions contained in § 181 BGB is legally impossible, the relevant Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Security Agent thereof and shall ratify all acts of the Agent and the Security Agent which fall into the scope of § 181 BGB immediately without notice.

34.1 Remedies and Waiver

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lenders, any right or remedy under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

Mandatory Cost Formulae

2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Advance) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Advances made from that Facility Office) of complying in respect of Advances made from that Facility Office.

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent in accordance with the formula set out below (expressed as a percentage rate per annum):

		A x 0.01		% per annum.
		300

Where A is the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules (calculated for this purpose by the Agent as being the average of the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors, ignoring any minimum fee or zero related fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Lender.

5. For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a) “Fee Rules” means the Banking Supervision (Fees) Regulations 2000 or such other law as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for banking supervision;

- 85-

(b) “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to European Monetary Union;

(c) “Special Deposits” has the meanings given to it from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(d) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules; and

(e) the resulting figure will be rounded to four decimal places.

6. The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments or variations which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority and/or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of their functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

7. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a) its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b) any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8. The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraph 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits, Special Deposits and the Fee Rules are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

- 86-

9. The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10. The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 7 above.

11. Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to the formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all of the parties to this Agreement.

Broker’s Letter of Undertaking

[Letterhead of insurance broker]

LETTER OF UNDERTAKING

To:      UniCredit Bank AG (the “Agent” and “Security Agent”)

Dear Sirs,

[                  ] (the “Project”)

We have been requested by Zellstoff Stendal GmbH (the “Borrower”), to provide you with certain confirmations relating to certain insurances arranged by us in relation to the Project Blue Mill. Accordingly we provide you with the confirmations set out below.

The insurances summarised in Appendix 1 attached to this letter (the “Insurances”) are, at the date hereof, in full force and effect in respect of the risks and liabilities as set out in the insurance policies evidenced in the policies/cover notes attached as Appendix 2 (the “Policies”).

We further confirm in our capacity as insurance brokers to the Borrower that the Insurances are, to the best of our knowledge and belief placed with insurers, which as at the time of placement, are reputable and financially sound. We do not, however, make any representations regarding such insurer’s current or future solvency or ability to pay claims.

We have arranged the Insurances on the basis of information and instructions given by the Borrower. We have not made any particular or special enquiries regarding the Insurances beyond those that we normally make in the ordinary course of arranging insurances on behalf of our insurance broking clients. The confirmations set out in this letter are given by reference to our state of knowledge at the date hereof.

We shall use our best endeavours to notify the Borrower and the Security Agent as soon as reasonably practicable after we become aware of an insurer ceasing to carry a claims rating from Standard & Poors Rating Agency of at least BBB+ or a comparable rating.

Pursuant to instructions received from the Borrower in connection with the Insurances, we hereby undertake:

(a) to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the expiry of the Insurances if we have not received instructions from the Borrower and/or any insured parties or the agents of any such party to negotiate renewal, and, in the event of our receiving instructions to renew, to advise you as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the details thereof;

(b) to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable after giving or receiving notice of termination of our appointment as brokers in relation to the Insurances;

(c) to pay into the Revenue Account or such other account as you may inform us in writing from time to time, without any set-off or deduction of any kind, for any reason, all payments received by us from the insurers in relation to the Insurances (including refunds of premium) other than as may be permitted in the relevant loss payable clauses in the Endorsements;

(d) to advise you as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of any insurer’s cancellation or suspension of any of the Insurances or receiving notice of any insurer’s intention to cancel or suspend any of the Insurances;

(e) in accordance with our duties to our clients, make the Borrower aware of its pre-contractual duties of disclosure to the insurers by advising the Borrower of the type of information which generally needs to be disclosed to the insurers;

(f) subject to the Borrower’s consent, to hold the insurance slips or contracts, the policies and any renewals thereof or any new or substitute policies to the extent held by us, to the order of the Security Agent; and

(g) to treat as confidential all information in relation to the Insurances marked as confidential and supplied to us by the Borrower or the Security Agent and not to disclose such information, without the written consent of the supplier, to any third party other than those persons who, in our reasonable opinion, have a need to have access to such information from time to time. Our obligations of confidentiality shall not conflict with our duties owed to the Borrower and shall not apply to disclosure required by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or pursuant to any applicable law or regulations having the force of law or to information which is in the public domain.

The above undertakings are subject to our continuing appointment as insurance brokers to the Borrower in relation to the Insurances and, following termination of such appointment, our immediate release from all our obligations set out in this letter (except for those mentioned in paragraph (g) above).

Nothing in this letter shall prejudice the right that any insurer may have to cancel any of the Insurances following default in excess of 30 days in payment of premiums, nor shall the exercise of such right in circumstances amount to a breach of any obligations accepted by us pursuant to the terms of this letter. In accordance with paragraph (d) above we will give you notice as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of any insurer’s intention to cancel any of the Insurances and where insurers wish to cancel

for reasons of non-payment of premium, we will request that insurers give you a reasonable opportunity to pay amounts outstanding before such insurers issue a notice of cancellation.

For the avoidance of doubt, all undertakings and other confirmations given in this letter relate solely to the Insurances. They do not apply to any other insurances and nothing in this letter should be taken as providing any undertakings or confirmations in relation to any insurance that ought to have been placed or may at some future date be placed by other brokers.

This letter is given by us on the instructions of the Borrower and with the Borrower’s full knowledge and consent as to its terms, as evidenced by the Borrower’s signature below.

This letter shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with German law and any dispute as to its terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Germany.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of [insurance broker]

For and on behalf of [Zellstoff Stendal GmbH]
