CREDIT SUPPORT DEED
 
Between

Deutsche Bank AG, acting through its London branch
Virgin Entertainment Investment Holdings Ltd
   
(“Party A”)
(“Party B”)
made on
10 December, 2009
 
relating to the
 
ISDA Master Agreement
 
dated as of 10 December, 2009 between Party A and Party B.

This Deed is a Credit Support Document with respect to both parties in relation to the ISDA Master Agreement referred to above (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”).
 
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
 
Paragraph 1. Interpretation
 
(a)           Definitions and Inconsistency. Unless otherwise defined in this Deed, capitalised terms defined in the Agreement have the same meaning in this Deed. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this Deed or in the Agreement have the meanings specified pursuant to Paragraph 12, and all references in this Deed to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of this Deed. In the event of any inconsistency between this Deed and the provisions of the Agreement, this Deed will prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 13 and the other provisions of this Deed, Paragraph 13 will prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “transfer” in this Deed mean, in relation to cash, payment and, in relation to other assets, delivery.
 
(b)           Secured Party and Chargor. All references in this Deed to the “Secured Party” will be to either party when acting in that capacity and all corresponding references to the “Chargor” will be to the other party when acting in that capacity; provided, however, that if Other Posted Support is held by a party to this Deed, all references in this Deed to that party as the Secured Party with respect to that Other Posted Support will be to that party as the beneficiary of that Other Posted Support and will not subject that support or that party as the beneficiary of that Other Posted Support to provisions of law generally relating to security interests and secured parties.
 
Paragraph 2. Security
 
(a)           Covenant to Perform. Each party as the Chargor covenants with the other party that it will perform the Obligations in the manner provided in the Agreement, this Deed or any other relevant agreement.

EXECUTION VERSION
 
(b)           Security. Each party as the Chargor, as security for the performance of the Obligations:
 
(i) mortgages, charges and pledges and agrees to mortgage, charge and pledge, with full title guarantee, in favour of the Secured Party by way of first fixed legal mortgage all Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash), (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, charges and agrees to charge, with full title guarantee, in favour of the Secured Party by way of first fixed charge all Posted Collateral in the form of cash; and (iii) assigns and agrees to assign, with full title guarantee, the Assigned Rights to the Secured Party absolutely.
 
(c)           Release of Security. Upon the transfer by the Secured Party to the Chargor of Posted Collateral, the security interest granted under this Deed on that Posted Collateral will be released immediately, and the Assigned Rights relating to that Posted Collateral will be re-assigned to the Chargor, in each case without any further action by either party. The Chargor agrees, in relation to any securities comprised in Posted Collateral released by the Secured Party under this Deed, that it will accept securities of the same type, nominal value, description and amount as those securities.
 
(d)           Preservation of Security. The security constituted by this Deed shall be a continuing security and shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Obligations but shall secure the ultimate balance of the Obligations. If for any reason this security ceases to be a continuing security, the Secured Party may open a new account with or continue any existing account with the Chargor and the liability of the Chargor in respect of the Obligations at the date of such cessation shall remain regardless of any payments into or out of any such account. The security constituted by this Deed shall be in addition to and shall not be affected by any other security now or subsequently held by the Secured Party for all or any of the Obligations.
 
(e)           Waiver of Defences. The obligations of the Chargor under this Deed shall not be affected by any act, omission or circumstance which, but for this provision, might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Chargor from its obligations under this Deed or affect such obligations including (but without limitation) and whether or not known to the Chargor or the Secured Party:
 
(i)           any time or indulgence granted to or composition with the Chargor or any other person;
 
(ii)           the variation, extension, compromise, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce, any terms of the Agreement or any rights or remedies against, or any security granted by, the Chargor or any other person;
 
(iii)           any irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability of any obligations of the Chargor under the Agreement or any present or future law or order of any government or authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to reduce or otherwise affect any of such obligations to the intent that the Chargor ’s obligations under this Deed shall remain in full force and this Deed shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such irregularity, unenforceability, invalidity, law or order;
 
(iv)           any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Chargor, any guarantor or any other person or any amendment to or variation of the terms of the Agreement or any other document or security.
 
(f)           Immediate Recourse. The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Secured Party to proceed against or claim payment from any other person or enforce any guarantee or security before enforcing this Deed.

(g)           Reinstatement. Where any discharge (whether in respect of the security constituted by this Deed, any other security or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or any amount paid pursuant to any such discharge or arrangement must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the security constituted by this Deed and the liability of the Chargor under this Deed shall continue as if there had been no such discharge or arrangement.
 
Paragraph 3. Credit Support Obligations
 
(a)           Delivery Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Chargor ’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Chargor will transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of the date of transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Delivery Amount” applicable to the Chargor for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:
 
 
(i)
the Credit Support Amount
 
exceeds
 
(ii)           the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount and to exclude any prior Return Amount, the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Settlement Day falls on or after such Valuation Date).
 
(b)           Return Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Chargor on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Return Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Secured Party’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor Posted Credit Support specified by the Chargor in that demand having a Value as of the date of transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Return Amount” applicable to the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:
 
(i)           the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount and to exclude any prior Return Amount, the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Settlement Day falls on or after such Valuation Date)
 
exceeds
 
 
(ii)
the Credit Support Amount.
 
Paragraph 4. Conditions Precedent, Transfers, Calculations and Substitutions
 
(a)           Conditions Precedent. Each transfer obligation of the Chargor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and 6(g) is subject to the conditions precedent that:

Subject to Paragraph 5 and unless otherwise specified, if a demand for the transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is received by the Notification Time, then the relevant transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the Settlement Day relating to the date such demand is received; if a demand is received after the Notification Time, then the relevant transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the Settlement Day relating to the day after the date such demand is received.

Paragraph 5. Dispute Resolution
 
(a)           Disputed Calculations or Valuations. If a party (a “Disputing Party”) reasonably disputes (I) the Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Delivery Amount or a Return Amount or (II) the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, then:
 
(1)            the Disputing Party will notify the other party and the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation Agent is not the other party) not later than the close of business on the Local Business Day following, in the case of (I) above, the date that the demand is received under Paragraph 3 or, in the case of (II) above, the date of transfer;
 
(2)            in the case of (I) above, the appropriate party will transfer the undisputed amount to theother party not later than the close of business on the Settlement Day following the date that the demand is received under Paragraph 3;
 
(3)            the parties will consult with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute; and
 
(4)            if they fail to resolve the dispute by the Resolution Time, then:
 
(i)           in the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:
 
(A)               utilising any calculations of that part of the Exposure attributable to the Transactions that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;
 
(B)               calculating that part of the Exposure attributable to the Transactions in dispute by seeking four actual quotations at mid-market from Reference Marketmakers for purposes of calculating Market Quotation, and taking the arithmetic mean of those obtained; provided that if four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction, then fewer than four quotations may be used for that Transaction, and if no quotations are available for a particular Transaction, then the Valuation Agent’s original calculations will be used for that Transaction; and
 
(C)               utilising the procedures specified in Paragraph 13(g)(ii) for calculating the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support;
 
(ii)           in the case of a dispute involving the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value as of the date of transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13(g)(ii).
 
Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify each party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) as soon as possible but in any event not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand following

EXECUTION VERSION
 
that notice by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate transfer.
 
(b)           Not a Relevant Event. The failure by a party to make a transfer of any amount which is the subject of a dispute to which Paragraph 5(a) applies will not constitute a Relevant Event under Paragraph 7 for as long as the procedures set out in Paragraph 5 are being carried out. For the avoidance of doubt,  upon completion of those procedures, Paragraph 7 will apply to any failure by a party to make a transfer required under the final sentence of Paragraph 5(a) on the relevant due date.
 
Paragraph 6. Holding Posted Collateral
 
(a)           Care of Posted Collateral. The Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable law. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any rights pertaining to the Posted Collateral.
 
(b)
Eligibility to Hold Posted Collateral; Custodians.
 
(i)           General. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a “Custodian”) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Chargor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Chargor ’s obligations to make any transfer will be discharged by making the transfer to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting.
 
(ii)           Failure to Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Chargor, the Secured Party will, not later than five Local Business Days after the demand, transfer or cause its Custodian to transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.
 
(iii)           Liability. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would be liable under this Deed for its own acts or omissions.
 
(c)           Segregated Accounts. The Secured Party shall, and shall cause any Custodian to, open and/or maintain one or more segregated accounts (the “Segregated Accounts”), as appropriate, in which to hold Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash) under this Deed. The Secured Party and any Custodian shall each hold, record and/or identify in the relevant Segregated Accounts all Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash) held in relation to the Chargor, and, except as provided otherwise herein, such Collateral shall at all times be and remain the property of the Chargor and segregated from the property of the Secured Party or the relevant Custodian, as the case may be, and shall at no time constitute the property of, or be commingled with the property of, the Secured Party or such Custodian.
 
(d)           No Use of Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the rights of the Secured Party under the other provisions of this Deed, the Secured Party will not have the right to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted Collateral it holds under this Deed.

(B)            to exercise, or to direct the Secured Party to exercise, any voting rights attached to any of the Posted Collateral (but only in a manner consistent with the terms of this Deed) and, if any expense would be incurred by the Secured Party in doing so, only to the extent that the Chargor paid to the Secured Party in advance of any such exercise an amount sufficient to cover that expense.
 
(ii)           Exercise by Secured Party. At any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event or Specified Condition and without any further consent or authority on the part of the Chargor the Secured Party may exercise at its discretion (in the name of the Chargor or otherwise) in respect of any of the Posted Collateral any voting rights and any powers or rights which may be exercised by the person or persons in whose name or names the Posted Collateral is registered or who is the holder or bearer of them including (but without limitation) all the powers given to trustees by sections 10(3) and (4) of the Trustee Act 1925 (as amended by section 9 of the Trustee Investments Act 1961) in respect of securities or property subject to a trust. If the Secured Party exercises any such rights or powers, it will give notice of the same to the Chargor as soon as practicable.
 
(f)
Calls and Other Obligations
 
(i)           Payment of Calls. The Chargor will pay all calls or other payments which may become due in respect of any of the Posted Collateral and if it fails to do so the Secured Party may elect to make such payments on behalf of the Chargor. Any sums so paid by the Secured Party shall be repayable by the Chargor to the Secured Party on demand together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of such payment by the Secured Party and pending such repayment shall form part of the Obligations.
 
(ii)           Requests for Information. The Chargor shall promptly copy to the Secured Party and comply with all requests for information which is within its knowledge and which are made under section 212 of the Companies Act 1985 or any similar provision contained in any articles of association or other constitutional document relating to any of the Posted Collateral and if it fails to do so the Secured Party may elect to provide such information as it may have on behalf of the Chargor.

(g)
Distributions and Interest Amount.
 
(i)           Distributions. The Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor not later than the Settlement Day following each Distributions Date any Distributions it receives to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by the transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed a Valuation Date for this purpose).

EXECUTION VERSION
 
(ii)           Interest Amount. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13(i)(iii), with respect to Posted Collateral in the form of cash, the Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor at the times specified in Paragraph 13(i)(ii) the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).
 
Any Distributions or Interest Amount (or portion of either) not transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute Posted Collateral and will be subject to the security interest granted under Paragraph 2(b) or otherwise will be subject to the set-off provided in Paragraph 8(a)(ii).

(ii)           that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral, Distributions or Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; or
 
(iii)           that party fails to perform any Obligation other than those specified in Paragraph 7(ii) and that failure continues for 30 days after notice of that failure is given to that party.
 
Paragraph 8. Rights of Enforcement
 
(a)           Secured Party ’s Rights. If at any time (1) a Relevant Event or Specified Condition with respect to the Chargor has occurred and is continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated under the Agreement as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Chargor, then, unless the Chargor has paid in full all of its Obligations that are then due:
 
(i)           the Secured Party shall, without prior notice to the Chargor, be entitled to put into force and to exercise immediately or as and when it may see fit any and every power possessed by the Secured Party by virtue of this Deed or available to a secured creditor (so that section 93 and section 103 of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to this Deed) and in particular (but without limitation) the Secured Party shall have power in respect of Posted Collateral other than in the form of cash:
 
(A)            to sell all or any of the Posted Collateral in any manner permitted by law upon such terms as the Secured Party shall in its absolute discretion determine; and

(d)           Deficiencies and Excess Proceeds. The Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation, set-off and/or application under Paragraph 8(a) and after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Chargor with respect to any Obligations; the Chargor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after any liquidation, set-off and/or application under Paragraph 8(a).

(ii)           it is the beneficial owner of all Eligible Collateral it transfers as the Chargor to the Secured Party under this Deed, free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other interest or restriction other than the security interest granted under Paragraph 2 and other than a lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which any such Eligible Collateral may be held;
 
(iii)           upon the transfer of any Eligible Collateral by it as the Chargor to the Secured Party under the terms of this Deed, the Secured Party will have a valid security interest in such Eligible Collateral; and
 
(iv)           the performance by it as the Chargor of its obligations under this Deed will not result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other interest or encumbrance in or on any Posted Collateral other than the security interest created under this Deed (other than any lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which any such Posted Collateral may be held).
 
Paragraph 10. Expenses
 
(a)           General.

Paragraph 11. Other Provisions
 
(a)           Default Interest. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any transfer of Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount, will be obliged to pay the Chargor (to the extent permitted under applicable law) an amount equal to interest at the Default Rate multiplied by the Value on the relevant Valuation Date of the items of property that were required to be transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount was required to be transferred to (but excluding) the date of transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
 
(b)           Further Assurances. Promptly following a demand made by a party, the other party will execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other document and take any other action that may be necessary or desirable and reasonably requested by that party to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that party to exercise or enforce its rights under this Deed with respect to Posted Credit Support or an Interest Amount or to effect or document a release of a security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount.
 
(c)           Further Protection. The Chargor will promptly give notice to the Secured Party of, and defend against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support transferred by the Chargor or that could adversely affect the security interest granted by it under Paragraph 2.
