Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees to use all its reasonable efforts to cause the appointment of the representatives put forth by a majority in principal amount of each such class of direct creditors in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative outstanding indebtedness of the Company and/or such Subsidiary, as applicable, to such class of direct creditors and commitments by such class of direct creditors to the Company and/or such Subsidiary, if applicable. Such efforts shall include, but not be limited to, recommending to the court of competent jurisdiction the name of the representatives put forth by each such class of direct creditors for appointment to the creditors' committee.

2.
Prior to the Senior Discharge Date, the consent of the Representative of a Series of Senior Obligations referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition thereof and constituted as Senior Secured Notes or Additional Obligations is required to rescind, amend or vary this Agreement, or grant any waiver or consent under this Agreement, if such rescission, amendment, variation, waiver or consent would result in any HY Notes Obligations not being subordinated to such Series of Senior Obligations to at least the same extent as immediately prior to such amendment, rescission, or variation taking effect, or such waiver or consent being given.

Accession of Parties
1.
The Company shall procure that each Additional HY Notes Issuer, each Group Company that provides a Subordinated Guarantee in respect of any HY Notes after the date of this Agreement and each HY Noteholders Trustee (in each case if not already party hereto in that capacity), becomes a Party by executing an Accession Agreement and delivering the same to the Applicable Representative. Such HY Notes Issuer, such Group Company or, as the case may be, such HY Noteholders Trustee shall become a Party upon the Applicable Representative countersigning the relevant Accession Agreement.
2.
Unless and until a Group Company which is to provide a Subordinated Guarantee becomes a Party, such Subordinated Guarantee shall be of no effect.
3.
Any Applicable Representative under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Administrative Agent that is not already party to this Agreement in its capacity as such shall (at the request of the Parent) accede to this Agreement in such capacity by executing an Accession Agreement, and delivering the same to the Parent and any Additional Secured Applicable Representative. Any such applicable representative or administrative agent shall become a Party upon the Parent countersigning the relevant Accession Agreement. Any entity that is the Applicable Representative or Administrative Agent and ceases to have such title under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall cease, at such time, to be a Party and its successor in such capacity shall, at such time, accede to this Agreement in such capacity.
4.
Any Additional Secured Applicable Representative that is not already party to this Agreement in its capacity as such shall (at the request of the Parent and the Applicable Representative) accede to this Agreement in such capacity by executing an Accession Agreement, and delivering the same to the Parent and the Applicable Representative. Any such additional secured




applicable representative shall become a Party upon the Parent and Applicable Representative countersigning the relevant Accession Agreement. Any Additional Secured Applicable Representative under paragraph (a) of that definition shall cease to be a Party on the appointment of the representative contemplated in paragraph (b) of that definition. Any entity that is an Additional Secured Applicable Representative under paragraph (b) of that definition that ceases to be a representative as contemplated in that paragraph shall cease, at such time, to be a Party and its successor in such capacity shall, at such time, accede to this Agreement in such capacity.
5.
Each Party authorises the Applicable Representative to sign, on its behalf, any such Accession Agreement delivered to the Applicable Representative. The Company will copy any executed Accession Agreement to each HY Noteholders Trustee.

A Representative with respect to a Series of Senior Obligations and, for the avoidance of doubt, all Senior Creditors represented by such Representative, shall cease to have any rights or benefits under this Agreement on the first date upon which all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Series of Senior Obligations have been unconditionally discharged in full.
23.
Trusts
The perpetuity period for each trust created by this Agreement shall be 125 years.
24.
Turnover Obligations
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a HY Noteholders Trustee shall only have an obligation to turn over or repay amounts received or recovered under this Agreement by it (i) if it had actual knowledge that the receipt or recovery is an amount received in breach of a provision of this Agreement (a "Turnover Receipt") and (ii) to the extent that, prior to receiving that knowledge, it has not distributed the amount of the Turnover Receipt to the HY Noteholders in accordance with the provisions of the relevant HY Notes Indenture.
25.
HY Noteholders Trustee Protections
1.
Limitation of HY Noteholders Trustee Liability
It is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that this Agreement is executed and delivered by each HY Noteholders Trustee not individually or personally but solely in its capacity as a HY Noteholders Trustee in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the relevant HY Notes Documents. It is further understood by the Parties that in no case shall the relevant HY Noteholders Trustee be (i) responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any other Party for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such HY Noteholders Trustee in good faith in accordance with this Agreement and the relevant HY Notes Documents in a manner that the HY Noteholders Trustee (acting reasonably) believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such HY Noteholders Trustee by this Agreement, the relevant HY Notes Documents or by law, or (ii) personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of any other Party, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the Parties and any person claiming by, through or under such Party, provided however, that the relevant HY Noteholders Trustee (or any successor noteholder trustee) shall be personally liable under this Agreement for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct or for its breach of its covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, to the extent expressly covenanted or made in its individual capacity. It is also acknowledged that the relevant HY Noteholders Trustee shall have no responsibility for the actions of any individual HY Noteholder.
2.
HY Noteholder Trustee not fiduciary for Senior Creditors
No HY Noteholders Trustee shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to any of the Senior Creditors, the Parent or any Group Company and shall not be liable to any Senior Creditor, the Parent or any Group Company if any HY Noteholders Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the HY Noteholders, the HY Notes Issuers or to the Company or to any other person cash, property or securities to which any Senior Creditor shall be entitled by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. With respect to the Senior Creditors, each HY Noteholders Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in the HY Notes Documents and this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to Senior Creditors shall be read into this Agreement against a HY Noteholders Trustee.




3.
Reliance on certificates
Each HY Noteholders Trustee may rely without enquiry on any notice, consent or certificate of the Applicable Representative or Additional Secured Applicable Representative as to the matters certified therein.
4.
HY Noteholders Trustee
Notwithstanding Clause 21.5 (Amendments to this Agreement) or Clause 21.8 (Senior Creditor and other Third Party Consents), in acting under and in accordance with this Agreement each HY Noteholders Trustee shall act in accordance with the relevant HY Notes Documents and shall seek any necessary instruction from the relevant HY Noteholders to the extent provided for, and in accordance with, the relevant HY Notes Documents, and where it so acts on the instructions of the relevant HY Noteholders, the HY Noteholders Trustee shall not incur any liability to any person for so acting other than in accordance with the HY Notes Documents. Furthermore, prior to taking any action under this Agreement, a HY Noteholders Trustee may reasonably request and rely upon an opinion of counsel or opinion of another qualified expert, at the Company's expense.
5.
Senior Creditors and HY Noteholders Trustee
In acting pursuant to this Agreement and the HY Notes Documents, each HY Noteholders Trustee is not required to have any regard to the interests of the Senior Creditors (or any of them).

HY Noteholders Trustee; reliance and information
1.
Each HY Noteholders Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the proper person.
2.
Without affecting the responsibility of any Subordinated Guarantor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, the Applicable Representative and the Additional Secured Applicable Representative confirms that it has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by any HY Noteholders Trustee in connection with any Finance Document. Each HY Noteholders Trustee is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.
3.
Each HY Noteholders Trustee is entitled to assume that:
(a)
any payment or other distribution made in respect of the HY Notes Obligations has been made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
(b)
no Senior Default has occurred; and
(c)
the Senior Discharge Date has not occurred,
unless it has actual notice to the contrary. No HY Noteholders Trustee is obliged to monitor or enquire whether any such default has occurred.
7.
No action
No HY Noteholders Trustee shall have any obligation to take any action under this Agreement unless it is indemnified or secured to its satisfaction (whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise) by the HY Noteholders it represents and/or the Parent or the applicable HY Notes Issuers in accordance with the terms of the applicable HY Notes Documents. No HY Noteholders Trustee is required to indemnify any other person, whether or not a Party, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.
Departmentalisation
In acting as a HY Noteholders Trustee, each HY Noteholders Trustee shall be treated as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information received or acquired by a HY Noteholders Trustee which is received or acquired by some other division or department or otherwise than in its capacity as a HY Noteholders Trustee may be treated as confidential by each HY Noteholders Trustee and will not be treated as information possessed by a HY Noteholders Trustee in its capacity as such.
9.
Communications with HY Noteholders Trustee
Any communication to a HY Noteholders Trustee in connection with this Agreement may, unless otherwise stated, be given in person, by post or fax. Such communication shall take effect as of the date so delivered, if personally delivered; when confirmation is received upon




completion of the transmission, if faxed; and 5 days after mailing if sent by first class mail, postage prepaid.
10.
Other Parties not affected
This Clause 25 is intended to afford protection to each HY Noteholders Trustee and no provision of this Clause 25 shall alter or change the rights and obligations as between the other Parties in respect of each other.
11.
Provisions survive termination
The provisions of this Clause 25 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
26.
Payments
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, the Parent, each HY Notes Issuer and each Subordinated Guarantor shall at all times (and regardless of the existence of any Payment Blockage, Payment Blockage Notices or Standstill Period) be obliged and entitled to pay, without the prior consent of any Party, any amounts in respect of HY Noteholders Trustee Amounts as and when the same are due and payable and the HY Noteholders Trustee shall be entitled to receive and retain the same.
27.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
1.
Law
This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of England.
2.
Submission to Jurisdiction
All the Parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations) and that accordingly any suit, action or proceeding (together in this Clause 27 referred to as "Proceedings") arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations) shall be brought in such courts.
3.
Consent
Each Party consents generally in respect of any Proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such Proceedings including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution against any property or assets whatsoever of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such Proceedings.
4.
Service of Process
Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Parent, each HY Notes Issuer and each Subordinated Guarantor incorporated in a jurisdiction other than England and Wales:
1.
has appointed The Baldwin Group Limited as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with this Agreement; and
2.
agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.
Prior to the accession of The Baldwin Group Limited as a Party, the Parent shall procure that The Baldwin Group Limited shall confirm that it will act as process agent under this Agreement in a form satisfactory to the Applicable Representative (acting reasonably). From the date The Baldwin Group Limited accedes to this Agreement as a Party, The Baldwin Group Limited confirms that it will act as process agent in respect of the entities described above (including any such entity that may accede to this Agreement after the date hereof).
The Parent may, by notice to the Applicable Representative, Additional Secured Applicable Representative and each HY Noteholders Trustee, change the entity that is acting as process agent under this Clause 27.4 to another entity that is satisfactory to the Applicable Representative (acting reasonably).
28.
Austrian Stamp Duty
1.
Notices with respect to Austria
The Parties agree that no original or certified copy of this Agreement or any Finance Document shall be brought into the Republic of Austria.




Furthermore, the Parties hereto agree that (i) each Party, in the case of e-mail communication, will only send notices or written references to this Agreement or any Finance Document (each of the Agreement and the Finance Documents, a "Stamp Duty Sensitive Document") to or from Austria by e-mail communication without any electronic or digital signature, (ii) no Party shall print out any e-mail communication which refers to any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document in Austria and (iii) no Party shall send fax or scanned copies of a signed Stamp Duty Sensitive Document to or from Austria.
2.
Agreement to be kept outside of Austria
No Party shall bring or send to or otherwise produce in Austria an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document, other than in the event that:
1.
this does not cause a liability of a Party to pay stamp duty in Austria;
2.
a Party wishes to enforce or perfect any of its rights under or in connection with such Stamp Duty Sensitive Document in Austria and is only able to do so (including, without limitation, for reason of any objection or defence raised by any Party in any form of proceedings in Austria) by bringing, sending to or otherwise producing in Austria an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy of the relevant Stamp Duty Sensitive Document and it would not be sufficient for that Party to bring, send to or otherwise produce in Austria a simple copy (that is a copy which is not an original copy, notarised copy or certified copy) of the relevant Stamp Duty Sensitive Document for the purposes of such enforcement. In connection with the foregoing, each Party agrees that in any form of proceedings in Austria simple copies may be submitted by either Party and undertakes to refrain from (i) objecting to the introduction into evidence of a simple copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document or raising a defence to any action or to the exercise of any remedy for the reason of an original or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document not having been introduced into evidence, unless such simple copy actually introduced into evidence does not accurately reflect the content of the original document and (ii) contesting the authenticity (Echtheit) of a simple copy of any such Stamp Duty Sensitive Document before an Austrian court or authority, unless such simple copy does not accurately reflect the content of the original document; or
3.
a Party is required by law, governmental body, court, authority or agency pursuant to any law or legal requirement (whether for the purposes of initiating, prosecuting, enforcing or executing any claim or remedy or enforcing any judgment or otherwise), to bring an original, notarised copy or certified copy of any Stamp Duty Sensitive Document into Austria.
3.
Place of Performance
The Parties agree that the exclusive place of performance (Erfüllungsort) for all rights and obligations under any Finance Document shall be at the seat of the Applicable Representative at Credit Suisse AG, One Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010, United States of America, or any other place reasonably designated by the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) but in any case a place outside the Republic of Austria, which especially means that the payment of amounts under the Senior Facilities Agreement or any other facility, the payment of interest and the repayment of any amount under the Senior Facilities Agreement or any other facility shall be made to a bank account and, respectively, from a bank account outside the Republic of Austria. It is expressly agreed between the Parties hereto that any such performance within the Republic of Austria will not establish Austria as the place of performance and shall be deemed not effective with respect to any Party hereto. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the fulfilment of any contractual obligation under this Agreement within the Republic of Austria does not result in a discharge of debt.
IN WITNESS whereof this Agreement has been duly executed by the parties hereto the day and year first above written.
