Each Borrower further irrevocably authorise the Facility Agent to so apply amounts credited to the Holding Account or the Special Capex Reserve Account (as the case may be) whether or not any relevant period have elapsed since receipt of those proceeds if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Parent and each Borrower also irrevocably authorise the Facility Agent to transfer any amounts credited to the Holding Account referred to in this paragraph (b) to the Mandatory Prepayment Account pending payment of amounts due and payable under the Finance Documents (but if all such amounts have been paid any such amounts remaining credited to the Mandatory Prepayment Account may (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be transferred back to the Holding Account).

8.5: Excluded insurance proceeds

Where Excluded Insurance Proceeds include amounts which are intended to be used for a specific purpose, the Parent shall ensure that those amounts are used for that purpose and, if requested to do so by the Facility Agent, shall promptly deliver a certificate to the Facility Agent at the time of such application confirming the amount (if any) which has been so applied.

8.6: Outstanding Principal Amount

On any Mandatory Prepayment under this Clause 8, the outstanding principal amount (and for the avoidance of doubt the repayment instalments) of the relevant Loan shall be reduced by an amount Y which, determined from the definition of Early Redemption Amount where the Early Redemption Amount is the amount prepaid under Clause 8.1, shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(c): in respect of the Tranche B1 Loan, Early Redemption Amount = accrued interest + max (Y, Y × Early Redemption Price);

(d): in respect of the Tranche B2 Loan, Early Redemption Amount = accrued interest + max (Y, EUR Make Whole Amount); and
(e): in respect of the Tranche C1 Loan or the Tranche C2 Loan, the amount prepaid excluding any accrued interest and Break Costs.

10.: INTEREST
10.1: Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate which is the aggregate of:

(a)

the Applicable Cash Margin;

(b)

the rate equal to:

(i): in relation to the Tranche A1 Loan, the Tranche A1 Real Swap Rate multiplied by the GBP Index Ratio;
(ii): in relation to the Tranche A2 Loan, the Tranche A2 Real Swap Rate multiplied by the FRF Index Ratio;
(iii): in relation to the Tranche B1 Loan, the Tranche B1 Swap Rate;
(iv): in relation to the Tranche B2 Loan, the Tranche B2 Swap Rate;
(v): in relation to the Tranche C1 Loan, LIBOR plus, after the date falling on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date the Tranche C1 Step Up Rate;

(vi): in relation to the Tranche C2 Loan, EURIBOR plus, after the date falling on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date the Tranche C2 Step Up Rate; and

(c): the Mandatory Cost, if any.

10.2

Payment of interest

(a): The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period.
(b): The amount of interest payable in respect of each Tranche A1 Loan and Tranche A2 Loan for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the relevant rate of interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Loan (adjusting for indexation in accordance with Clause 11 (Indexation) below), dividing the product by two and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be (half a penny or cent being rounded upwards).
(c): The amount of interest payable in respect of each Tranche B1 Loan and Tranche B2 Loan for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the relevant rate of interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Loan, dividing the product by two and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be (half a penny or cent being rounded upwards).
(d): The amount of interest payable in respect of the Tranche C1 Loan for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the relevant rate of interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Loan, multiplying the product by the actual number of days in such Interest Period divided by 365 and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny (half a penny being rounded upwards).
(e): The amount of interest payable in respect of the Tranche C2 Loan for any Interest Period shall be calculated by applying the relevant rate of interest to the outstanding principal amount of such Loan, multiplying the product by the actual number of days in such Interest Period divided by 360 and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards).

10.3

Calculation of Interest in respect of periods other than Interest Periods

If any interest is to be calculated in respect of any period other than an Interest Period for any Loan it shall be calculated:

(a): in relation to the Tranche A1 Loan and Tranche A2 Loan, by applying the relevant amount of interest to the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Loan, multiplying the product by the relevant Day Count Fraction (and adjusting for indexation in accordance with Clause 11 (Indexation)) and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be half a penny or cent being rounded upwards;
(b): in relation to the Tranche B1 Loan and Tranche B2 Loan, by applying the relevant amount of interest to the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Loan, multiplying the product by the relevant Day Count Fraction and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be half a penny or cent being rounded upwards;
(c): in relation to the Tranche C1 Facility, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be half a penny or cent being rounded upwards; and
(d): in relation to the Tranche C2 Facility, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest penny or cent as the case may be half a penny or cent being rounded upwards.

10.4

Default interest

(a)

If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is 1 per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b)

If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i): the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii): the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 1 per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(c): Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount (or such later date permitted by applicable law) but will remain immediately due and payable.
(d): Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of an Unpaid Sum being paid by that Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum. Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming in reasonable detail the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

10.5: Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the relevant Borrower (or the Parent) of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

10.6: Effective Global Rate

For the purposes of articles L. 313-1 et seq. of the French Code de la Consommation, the Parties acknowledge that by virtue of certain characteristics of the Facilities granted to France Manche (and in particular the variable nature of the interest rate applicable to the Loans), the effective global rate (taux effectif global) of the Facilities made available to France Manche cannot be calculated at the date of this Agreement. However, France Manche acknowledges that it has received from the Mandated Lead Arrangers a letter (a "TEG Letter") containing an indicative calculation of the effective global rate (taux effectif global) of the Facilities granted to it pursuant to this Agreement, based on figured examples calculated on assumptions set out in that TEG Letter. The Parties acknowledge that each such TEG Letter forms part of this Agreement.

11.: INDEXATION

Each payment of interest or principal in respect of the Tranche A1 Loan and the Tranche A2 Loan shall, except where the context otherwise requires, be the amount provided in or determined in accordance with this Agreement, multiplied by the GBP Index Ratio (in respect of a Tranche A1 Loan payment) or the FRF Index Ratio (in respect of a Tranche A2 Loan payment) applicable to the day on which payment is to be made (expressed as a percentage and rounded to five decimal places with 0.000005 being rounded to 0.00001). No payment of interest or principal in the case of the Tranche A1 Loan and the Tranche A2 Loan will be adjusted for indexation twice.

12.

INTEREST PERIODS

12.1

Interest Periods

(a): Subject to paragraphs (b) to (d) below, an Interest Period for a Loan will be six Months.
(b): An Interest Period shall begin on the Closing Date or any Interest Payment Date and end on (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date.
(c): An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Final Maturity Date for that Loan.
(d): The first Interest Period shall start on the Closing Date and end on 30 November 2007.

13.: ROUNDING

For the purpose of determining any amount payable under this Agreement which is the product of the principal amount outstanding of any Loan (or any part thereof) ("Principal Amount") and any value ("Value") (whether an interest rate, indexation ratio or otherwise), such product shall be calculated as follows:

(a): Value shall be multiplied by the product of 50,000 and a fraction the numerator of which is the principal amount outstanding of such Loan and the denominator of which is the initial principal amount outstanding of the Loan, rounded to the nearest penny or cent (with half a penny or cent being rounded upwards); and
(b): such amount determined in accordance with Clause 13 (a) (Rounding) shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator is 50,000 and the numerator is the initial principal amount outstanding of such Loan.

14.: CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST
14.1: Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 14.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00am (London time) on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR or EURIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

14.2

Market disruption

(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Tranche C1 Loan or a Tranche C2 Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i): the Applicable Cash Margin;
(ii): the Tranche C1 Step Up Rate or the Tranche C2 Step Up Rate (as and when applicable);
(iii): the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (such notification including a reasonably detailed explanation of the chosen rate); and
(iv): the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's participation in the Loan.

(b)

For the purposes of this Clause 14.2, "Market Disruption Event" means:

(i): at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR for the Interest Period; or
(ii): before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR.

14.3

Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a): If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Parent so requires, the Facility Agent and the Parent shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
(b): Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Parent, be binding on all Parties.

Subject to this Clause 27, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

(a): assign any of its rights; or

under any Finance Document (to the extent permitted by law) to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender") which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include an SPV Lender.

27.2

Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)

Following prior consultation with the Parent in good faith, any Existing Lender may make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 27.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders); provided that no consultation with the Parent shall be required in the case where the assignment or transfer is:

(i): to its Affiliate or to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;
(ii): if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender; or
(iii): made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

An assignment will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 27.6 (Procedure for assignment) is complied with and upon:

(i): receipt by the Facility Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;
(ii): the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and
(iii): the performance by the Facility Agent of all necessary know your customer or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Lender and the New Lender.

If:

(i): a Lender assigns or transfers or sub-participates any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents (other than to an SPV Lender) or changes its Facility Office; and

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer, sub-participation or change had not occurred.

27.3: Assignment or transfer fee

Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) to a Related Fund or (iii) made in connection with primary syndication of the Facilities, the New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of £1,500.

(ii): will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)

(i): accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27; or
(ii): support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

(iii): the Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Borrower Security Trustee, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Borrower Security Trustee, and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent shall procure that any member of the Group which is a Material Company (other than an Ancillary Company) shall, as soon as possible after becoming a Material Company, become an Additional Guarantor, grant such Transaction Security as the Facility Agent may require and accede to the Intercreditor Agreement. The Parent shall ensure that the entire issued share capital of such Material Company becomes the subject of the Transaction Security.

However, if a Subsidiary has been acquired since the date as at which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared, the financial statements shall be deemed to be adjusted in order to take into account the acquisition of that Subsidiary (that adjustment being certified by the Auditors as representing an accurate reflection of the revised Consolidated EBITDA, gross assets or turnover of the Group).

28.3

Resignation of a Guarantor

(a)

The Parent may request that a Guarantor (other than the Parent or a Borrower) ceases to be a Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent a Resignation Letter if:

(a): where that Guarantor created Transaction Security over any of its assets or business in favour of the Borrower Security Trustee, or Transaction Security in favour of the Borrower Security Trustee was created over the shares (or equivalent) of that Guarantor, the Borrower Security Trustee shall, at the cost of the Parent, release those assets, business or shares (or equivalent) from the Transaction Security and issue certificates of non-crystallisation;
(b): the resignation of that Guarantor and related release of Transaction Security referred to in paragraph (a) above shall not become effective until the date of that disposal or transaction; and
(c): if the disposal of that Guarantor is not made, the Resignation Letter of that Guarantor and the related release of Transaction Security referred to in paragraph (a) above shall have no effect and the obligations of the Guarantor and the Transaction Security created or intended to be created by or over that Guarantor shall continue in full force and effect.

(b): If the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

SCHEDULE 4
MANDATORY COST FORMULA

1.

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility 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 Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) 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 Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans 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 Facility Agent as follows:

(a): in relation to a Sterling Loan:

AB + C(B -D) + Ex 0.01

100 - (A + C)

per cent. per annum

(b): in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

		Ex 0.01
				per cent. per annum.
		300

106

Where:

A: is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.
B: is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Cash Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 10.4 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.
C: is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
D: is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
E: is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a): "Eligible Liabilities" and "Special Deposits" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
(b): "Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
(c): "Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
(d): "Tariff Base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7.

If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8.

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

(a): the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
(b): any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

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

9.: The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits 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.
10.: The Facility 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 or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

107

11.: The Facility 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 and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12.: Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a 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 Parties.
13.: The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments 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 or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

SCHEDULE 12
AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1.

The guarantees and security to be provided under the Finance Documents will be given in accordance with the agreed security principles detailed below (the "Agreed Security Principles"). This Schedule 12 addresses the manner in which the Agreed Security Principles will impact on the guarantees and security required by the Facility Agent and to be taken in relation to the Facility.

2.

The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees and/or security from all members of the Group in every jurisdiction in which members of the Group are located. In particular:

(a)

general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit;

(b)

any assets already subject to any Permitted Security which prevents those assets from being charged will be excluded from any relevant security document (other than any floating charge); provided that reasonable endeavours to (i) obtain consent to charging any such assets shall be used by the Group if the Mandated Lead Arrangers determine the relevant asset is material and (ii) to grant a security over such assets ranking second vis-à-vis the third party security;

(c)

a member of the Group will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if the following circumstances exist (or there is a material risk that they exist):

(i): it is not within the legal capacity of that member of the Group to do so;
(ii): to do so would contravene any applicable legal prohibition;
(iii): if the same would conflict with the fiduciary duties of the officers, directors or shareholders of the relevant member of the Group, its Holding Companies, or any other member of the Group and the same would have the potential to result in a risk of liability (including, without limitation, any civil or criminal liability) on the part of any such officer, director or shareholder of the relevant member of the Group, its Holding Companies, or any other member of the Group; provided that such relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;
(iv): if it is a Ring-fenced Company or if the security to be given relates to the shares in a Ring-fenced Company; and

(d)

the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security or the perfection of the security granted will not be required if:

(i): it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Finance Documents; or
(ii): it would have a material adverse effect on the tax arrangements or structuring requirements of the Group or any member of the Group;
(iii): it would give rise to costs (including, without limitation, Taxes) which the Facility Agent shall determine (acting reasonably) to be excessive in relation to the benefits that would be conferred by the granting of such Security.

provided, in each case, that the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle.

(e): a factor in determining to what extent a Security will be taken is the applicable cost of such Security as compared to the relative benefit to the Lenders.

Each Transaction Security Document shall contain a release clause requiring the Borrower Security Trustee to release the security constituted thereby if any of the following events occur:

(i): Upon (i) the secured obligations being discharged in full and the Borrower Security Trustee being satisfied (acting reasonably) that none of the secured parties are under any further actual or contingent obligation to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to the security providers or any other person under any of the Finance documents, or (ii) the security provider ceasing to be both a Borrower and a Guarantor, the Borrower Security Trustee shall, at the request and cost of the Parent, release and cancel the Security of such security provider and procure the reassignment to the security provider of the property and assets assigned to the Borrower Security Trustee pursuant to the relevant Transaction Security Documents.

121

(ii): In connection with a Relevant Disposal (as such term is defined in Clause 28.5 (Resignation and release of Security on Disposal), the Borrower Security Trustee shall, at the cost of the Parent, do all such acts which are reasonably requested by the Parent in order to release such property.

TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

3.

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

(a): where an Obligor pledges shares, the Transaction 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.
(b): security will not be enforceable until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(c): notification of pledges over bank accounts will be given to the bank holding the account; provided that this is not inconsistent with the Group retaining control over the balance and operation of the account prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing;
(d): notification of receivables security to debtors will only be given if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(e): notification of any security interest over insurance policies will be served on the insurer of the Group assets; and
(f): in respect of the share pledges, until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the pledgor should be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares pledged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the pledgors should be permitted to pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent permitted under the Agreement, with the proceeds to be available to the Obligors and their respective subsidiaries.

APPENDIX
MANDATORY INSURANCES

Tax Consolidated Group as at the date of this Agreement is no less than EUR 1,371 million but reduced by an amount up to EUR 470 million to the extent that the tax deductions recorded in connection with the change of depreciation policy in France in 2005 relating to the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards (as transposed in France) not being recognised for French corporate income tax purposes (the "minimum amount represented" being EUR 1,371 million as so reduced, if applicable for the purposes of paragraph 2.3(b)).

(a): if a chargeable period of CTG ended on the date of this Agreement (the period from the end of the previous actual chargeable period up to and including such date being a notional chargeable period), the sum of the unrelieved qualifying expenditure within the meaning of section 59 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 and the residue of qualifying expenditure within the meaning of section 312 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 carried forward to CTG's next notional chargeable period (both calculated on the assumption that no capital allowances would be claimed in respect of the notional chargeable period ending on the date of this Agreement) (the "Available Capital Allowances Amount") would be not less than £2,170 million; and
(b): if an accounting period of CTG ended on the date of this Agreement, the sum of the Available Capital Allowances Amount and the amount of losses which would be eligible to be set off against trading income of CTG's trade in succeeding accounting periods pursuant to section 393(1) of the Taxes Act (calculated on the assumption, if that is not in fact the case, that during the notional accounting period ending on the date of this Agreement CTG paid all unpaid interest due to EFL in respect of CTG's existing indebtedness to EFL (provided that such assumption shall not be construed so as to deem tax deductions to be available to CTG if the actual form and manner of payment itself, taking into account all relevant surrounding circumstances, would not have given rise to such tax deductions or prevent this representation being breached to the extent such hitherto unpaid interest does not give rise to tax deductions arising in CTG as at any relevant time for the purposes of this representation), but ignoring profits or losses made and other interest or expenses accruing or arising (as the case may be) in each case in the ordinary course of CTG's business during that notional accounting period) would be not less than £4,561 million;

and that at the date of this Agreement no amount of such allowances or loss (or amounts representing the same) shall have been surrendered or agreed to be surrendered (other than under a Group Relief Agreement) to any person which is not an Obligor.

2.3

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall be in breach of paragraph 2.1 or 2.2 of this Schedule in circumstances where:

(b)

in the case of paragraph 2.1 and subject to paragraph 2.3(d), the minimum amount represented is not more than EUR 206 million in excess of the actual losses or reliefs available as at the relevant dates; and

(c)

in the case of each of paragraph 2.2(a) and (b) and subject to paragraph 2.3(e), the minimum amount represented is not more than £500 million in the case of paragraph 2.2(a) (after taking into account any claims made by CTG in relation thereto whether previously or subsequently) and £610 million in the case of paragraph 2.2(b) in excess of the relevant actual losses or reliefs available (ignoring as aforesaid in paragraph 2.2(b)) as at the relevant dates; and

(d)

notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in ascertaining at any time whether there is an excess for the purposes of paragraph 2.3(b), there shall be taken into account by way of deduction (but in each case without double counting for the same subject matter) from the actual losses or reliefs available as at the relevant dates:

(i): the aggregate of any actual deductions therefrom of which the chief financial officer or the Corporate Finance Director of the Group is aware from time to time;
(ii): the amount of French losses or other reliefs (if any) which are required at the outset to be added to the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP referred to in paragraph 12(h) of Schedule 2, Part III in order for the Group's French tax position under the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP to be no worse (in terms of the year in which tax is first paid) than under the Represented BCBP referred to therein but ignoring in each case the Group's French tax position in the period falling after the

129

last to occur of the Tranche A Final Maturity Date, the Tranche B Final Maturity Date and the Tranche C Final Maturity Date and provided that any such addition shall only be made if the Group's French tax position under the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP is worse (in terms of the year in which tax is first paid) than under the Represented BCBP by more than one year (a "discrepancy"), and then such addition is only made to the extent necessary to reduce that discrepancy to one year;

(iii): the aggregate of all applications of the proviso to the definition of "Material Tax Liabilities" in relation to French tax whether pursuant to the terms of this Schedule 16 or by reference to the Agreed Form Tax Opinion Outline in relation to French tax (or the Agreed Form Tax Opinion in relation to French tax, as the case may be);
(iv): the aggregate of all losses or reliefs assumed to be available as contemplated by the preliminary remarks to paragraph 3, and paragraph 3.6 of the Agreed Form Tax Opinion Outline in relation to French Tax (or the Agreed Form Tax Opinion in relation to French tax, as the case may be) in order to avoid an issue being material or detrimental; and
(v): the actual amount of taxable profits (if any) which would have arisen by reason of the termination referred to in paragraph 3.1 ignoring all losses or reliefs;

(e)

notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in ascertaining at any time whether there is an excess for the purposes of paragraph 2.3(c), there shall be taken into account by way of deduction (but in each case without double counting for the same subject matter) from the actual losses or reliefs available (ignoring as aforesaid in paragraph 2.2(b)) as at the relevant dates:

(i): the aggregate of any actual deductions therefrom of which the chief financial officer or the Corporate Finance Director of the Group is aware from time to time;
(ii): the amount of UK losses or other reliefs (if any) which are required at the outset to be added to the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP referred to in paragraph l2(h) of Schedule 2, Part III in order for the Group's UK tax position under the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP to be no worse (in terms of the year in which tax is first paid) than under the Represented BCBP referred to therein but ignoring in each case the Group's UK tax position in the period falling after the last to occur of the Tranche A Final Maturity Date, the Tranche B Final Maturity Date and the Tranche C Final Maturity Date and provided that any such addition shall only be made if the Group's UK tax position under the Corrected Minimum Losses BCBP is worse (in terms of the year in which tax is first paid) than under the Represented BCBP by more than one year (a "discrepancy"), and then such addition is only made to the extent necessary to reduce that discrepancy to one year;
(iii): the aggregate of all applications of the proviso to the definition of "Material Tax Liabilities" in relation to UK tax whether pursuant to the Agreed Form Tax Opinion outline in relation to UK tax (or the Agreed Form Tax Opinion in relation to UK tax, as the case may be);
(iv): the aggregate of all losses or reliefs assumed to be available as contemplated by paragraphs 3.8 and 3.9 of the Agreed Form Tax Opinion Outline in relation to UK Tax (or the Agreed Form Tax Opinion in relation to UK tax, as the case may be) in order to avoid an issue being material or detrimental; and
(v): the aggregate amount of Losses surrendered from time to time other than for payment as contemplated by paragraph 4.1.1(ii)(1).

2.4

The representations and warranties in paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 are made by the Parent and CTG respectively:-

(a): as at the date of this Agreement;
(b): as at the Closing Date (and substituting references to the date on which the Commercial Court of Paris confirms completion of the Safeguard Plan in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Safeguard Plan for references to the date of this Agreement, and disregarding (for the purposes of paragraph 2.2) any actual accounting period end that may occur in the interim period);

and for the avoidance of doubt, in assessing whether there has been a breach of any such representation or warranty as at the dates referred to in this paragraph 2.4, there shall be taken into account (without double counting for the same subject matter):

(i): any information which has effect on any of the losses or reliefs the subject of such representations and warranties which becomes known or available at any time whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement; and
(ii): the application of paragraph 2.3(d) or paragraph 2.3(e), as the case may be.

130

2.5: The Parent shall as soon as reasonably practicable following a written request of the Facility Agent deliver or procure that there is delivered to the Facility Agent a certificate signed by the Group Treasurer (or then equivalent) specifying the amount (if any) by which with reference to available information at that time, and so far as such signatory is aware, the actual amount of such losses or reliefs (ignoring as aforesaid in paragraph 2.2(b)) as at the relevant dates represented and warranted in paragraph 2.2 is actually less than the minimum amount so represented (taking into account paragraph 2.3).
2.6: The first request under paragraph 2.5 may be made on any date after any member of the Group has operated the provisions of paragraph 4.1.1(ii)(1). Further requests under paragraph 2.5 may not be made until a period of at least 12 months has elapsed from the date of the previous request.

3. FRANCE SPECIFIC

3.1: Eurotunnel S.A. represents and warrants to each Finance Party that the termination of the existing Eurotunnel S.A.
