(a) On a payment under this paragraph, the paying Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Swingline Lenders which have shared in the payment received.

(b) If and to the extent a paying Lender is not able to rely on its rights under sub-paragraph (a) above, the Borrower which did not repay the relevant Swingline Advance shall be liable to the paying Lender for a debt equal to the amount the paying Lender has paid under this Clause.

7.6 Interest Period

7.6.1 Each Swingline Advance has one Interest Period only.

7.6.2 The Interest Period for a Swingline Advance must be selected in the relevant Request.

7.7 Conditions of assignment or transfer

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, each Lender shall ensure that at all times its Overall Commitment is not less than:

If the Obligors’ Agent delivers to the Facility Agent a Request specifying that a Borrower wishes a Revolving Facility Advance to be denominated in an Alternative Currency and to give effect to such request would cause the Loan to be denominated in more than four Alternative Currencies, then the Facility Agent will promptly notify the Obligors’ Agent and the Lenders shall not be obliged to make any such Advance.

If the Facility Agent makes available to a Borrower any amount which has not been made unconditionally available to the Facility Agent the Borrower shall forthwith on notice from the Facility Agent repay such amount to the Facility Agent together with interest on such amount until its repayment at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

15.3 Withholdings

Subject to Clause 15.4 (U.S. taxes) and Clause 15.5 (U.K. taxes), all payments by any Obligor under this Agreement whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or any other item, shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding (whether in respect of set off, counterclaim, duties, Taxes, charges or otherwise whatsoever) unless the deduction or withholding is for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied by any jurisdiction in which any such Obligor is incorporated or through which any payment is made and is required by law, in which event such Obligor shall:

15.3.1 ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required (having regard to the details of the Lender concerned provided to that Obligor by such Lender through the Facility Agent);

15.3.2 forthwith pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender such additional amount so that the net amount received by that Lender will equal the full amount

- 47 -

which would have been received by it (or would have been deemed for the purposes of Tax to have been received or receivable by that Lender) had no such deduction or withholding been made;

15.3.3 pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities within the period for payment permitted by applicable law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant to this Clause 15.3 (Withholdings)); and

15.3.4 furnish to the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lender concerned, within the period for payment permitted by the relevant law, either an official receipt of the relevant taxation authorities involved in respect of all amounts so deducted or withheld or if such receipts are not issued by the taxation authorities concerned on payment to them of amounts so deducted or withheld, a certificate of deduction or equivalent evidence of the relevant deduction or withholding.

15.3.5 Tax on the overall net income of a Lender or the Facility Agent or is a franchise or similar tax (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) or a branch profits tax save to the extent that such Tax is collected by way of withholding from the relevant payment from which the deduction must be made;

15.3.6 Tax that would not be imposed but for the connection between such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction (other than the jurisdiction in which the Obligor in question (as appropriate) is tax resident) imposing such Tax other than a connection arising solely as a result of the relevant Lender entering into this Agreement;

15.3.7 deducted solely as a result of a participation under Clause 23.10 (Sub-Participations); or

15.3.8 Tax which would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.4 (U.S. Taxes) or Clause 15.5 (U.K. Taxes) but was not so compensated for because the Lender concerned failed to comply with any obligations or requirements of sub-clause 15.4.1 of Clause 15.4 (U.S. Taxes) or, as the case may be, sub-clauses 15.5.3 and 15.5.4 of Clause 15.5 (U.K. Taxes).

15.4 U.S. Taxes

15.4.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 15 (Payments), with respect to Taxes which are imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United States of America or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, any Obligor which is a U.S. Subsidiary (or any Guarantor of such an Obligor) shall only be under an obligation to gross up any amounts payable or paid by that Obligor hereunder to a Lender that is not a United States Person (or payable or paid by the Facility Agent to such Lender) if:

- 48 -

(a) such Lender as soon as practicable, but in any event prior to any payment by the Obligor concerned, delivers to that Obligor:

(i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (including, without limitation, any substitute form which constitutes, or which includes as part or all thereof, any revised such form) (“Form W-8ECI”) certifying that the payments made pursuant to the Financing Documents are effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business in the United States of America; or

(ii) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (including, without limitation, any substitute form which constitutes, or which includes as part or all thereof, any revised such form) (“Form W-8BEN”) claiming complete exemption from withholding with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender under the Financing Documents under an applicable double tax treaty concluded by the United States of America (such Forms W-8BEN to be provided by the Facility Agent to the Lenders on signature of this Agreement); or

(iii) such other applicable form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made by such Lender under the Financing Documents,

in each case, indicating that such Lender is on the Signing Date (or, in the case of any Lender becoming a party to this Agreement after the Signing Date, on the date it becomes a party to this Agreement) entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement free from any deduction and withholding of US income tax;

(b) before or promptly after any occurrence of any event (including the passing of time) requiring a change or re-issuance in the most recent Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form previously delivered by such persons and if the delivery of the same be lawful, such Lender delivers to the Obligor concerned two accurate and complete original signed copies of Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form in replacement for the forms previously delivered by such Lender;

(c) if any forms or documents other than or in addition to the forms referred to above are required or such forms referred to above shall cease to be required in order for any Obligor which is a U.S. Subsidiary or any Guarantor of such

- 49 -

This sub-clause 15.4.1 shall not apply where such obligation to gross up arises as a result of the introduction of or any change in law or regulation or in the official interpretation, administration or application thereof of any relevant tax authority or the amendment, withdrawal, suspension, cancellation or termination of any applicable tax treaty with respect to any Lender, in any such case, after the Signing Date.

15.4.2 Each Lender which is a United States Person shall deliver (through the Facility Agent) to each Obligor which is a U.S. Subsidiary as soon as practicable, but in any event prior to any payment by the Obligor concerned, a statement signed by an authorised signatory of such Lender to the effect that it is a United States Person and, if necessary in order to avoid United States backup withholding, a duly completed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor thereto) establishing that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding.

15.5.2 Each Lender confirms to the Obligors’ Agent on the date of this Agreement that if an Advance was made as at the date of this Agreement it would be a Qualifying Lender.

15.5.3 An Obligor will not, on withholding or deducting an amount for or on account of United Kingdom tax, be required to pay any additional amount to a Lender under this Clause 15 where the Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the

- 50 -

payment is able to demonstrate that no deduction or withholding for or on account of United Kingdom tax would have been required to have been made if the Lender had complied with its obligations under sub-clause 15.5.4 below.

15.5.4 A Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of United Kingdom tax.

15.6 Tax Credits

Each Lender shall have absolute discretion as to whether to claim any Tax Credit and, if it does so claim, the extent, order and manner in which it does so. No Lender shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to any Obligor.

15.7 Date

15.8 Default Interest

15.8.1 Subject to sub-clause 15.8.2 of this Clause 15.8, if an Obligor fails to pay any amount in accordance with any Financing Document, the relevant Obligor shall pay interest on that amount from the time of default up to the time of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum which is the sum of (a) the Margin plus 1% and (b) LIBOR for a deposit of an amount comparable to the defaulted amount, for such period as the Facility Agent may from time to time reasonably select, at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day succeeding that on which the Facility Agent becomes aware of the default for value on that day in the case of sterling or two Business Days later in the case of any other currency and (c) the Mandatory Cost.

15.8.2 If an amount unpaid in accordance with any Financing Document in respect of the Facility, is of principal due on a day during, but not the last day of, an Interest Period relating thereto, the period selected by the Facility Agent under sub-clause 15.8.1 of this Clause 15.8 shall equal the unexpired portion of the Interest Period and there shall be substituted for the rate specified in sub-clause 15.8.1 of this Clause 15.8 the rate of 1% above the rate calculated in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Rate of Interest for Revolving Facility) and applicable to the unpaid amount immediately before it fell due.

- 51 -

15.8.3 Interest under this Clause shall accrue daily on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365 days in the case of sterling, Hong Kong Dollars, Belgian Francs, Canadian Dollars and Singapore Dollars or such other period applied generally in the relevant market in relation to such calculations for the relevant currency) from and including the first day to the last day of each period for which a rate of interest is determined as aforesaid and shall be due and payable by the relevant Borrower at the end of each such period. So long as the default continues, the rate referred to in sub-clause 15.8.1 of this Clause 15.8 shall be calculated on a similar basis at the end of each period selected by the Facility Agent and notified to the Lenders and interest payable under this sub-clause which is unpaid at the end of each such period shall thereafter itself bear interest at the rates provided in this sub-clause.

15.9 Currency indemnity

15.9.1 If any sum due from an Obligor under the Financing Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of:

(a) making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor;

(b) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

15.9.2 Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Financing Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

15.10 Change of currency

15.10.1 Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

- 52 -

(b) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

18.1 Guarantee

Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a continuing obligation, the proper and punctual payment by each of the Obligors of the Guaranteed Amounts and unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes, as a continuing obligation, with each Finance Party that, if for any reason any Obligor does not make such payment, each Guarantor shall pay the Guaranteed Amounts upon first written demand by the Facility Agent.

18.2 Principal Debtor

Each Guarantor shall be deemed to be liable for the Guaranteed Amounts as a sole or principal debtor.

18.3 Discharge

The liabilities and obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Agreement shall remain in force notwithstanding any act, omission, neglect, event or matter whatsoever, except the proper and valid payment of all the Guaranteed Amounts and, subject to Clause 18.4 (Preference), an absolute discharge or release of any of the Guarantors signed by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders; and without prejudice to its generality, the foregoing shall

- 57 -

apply in relation to anything which would have discharged any Guarantor (wholly or in part) or which would have afforded such Guarantor any legal or equitable defence, and in relation to any winding up or dissolution of, or any change in constitution or corporate identity or loss of corporate identity by, any of the Obligors or any other person.

18.4 Preference

Any such discharge or release as is referred to in Clause 18.3 (Discharge), and any composition or arrangement which any of the Guarantors may effect with the Finance Parties, shall be deemed to be made subject to the condition that it will be void if any payment or security which any Finance Party may previously have received or may thereafter receive from any person in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts is set aside under any applicable law or proves to have been for any reason invalid.

18.5 No Impairment

Without prejudice to the generality of Clauses 18.2 (Principal Debtor) and 18.3 (Discharge) none of the liabilities or obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Agreement shall be impaired by, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defences it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, the Finance Parties (or any of them):

18.5.1 agreeing with any Obligor any variation or departure (however substantial) of or from this Agreement (other than this Clause 18.5) or any of the Financing Documents and any such variation or departure shall, whatever its nature, be binding upon such Guarantor in all circumstances, notwithstanding that it may increase or otherwise affect the liability of such Guarantor provided however that if any such variation is made, without such Guarantor’s prior written consent, which has the effect of increasing the amount of the Facility or the Margin, the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 18.5 shall be limited to the amount for which they would have been liable had such variation not been made;

18.5.2 releasing or granting any time or any indulgence whatsoever to any Obligor or such Guarantor and, in particular, waiving any of the pre-conditions for Advances under this Agreement or any contravention by any Obligor of this Agreement, or entering into any transaction or arrangements whatsoever with or in relation to any Obligor, and/or any third party;

18.5.3 taking, perfecting, accepting, varying, dealing with, enforcing, abstaining from enforcing, surrendering or releasing any security for the Guaranteed Amounts in such manner as it or they think fit, or claiming, proving for, accepting or transferring any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts in any composition by, or winding up of, any Obligor and/or any third party or abstaining from so claiming, proving, accepting or transferring.

- 58 -

18.6 Demands

Demands under this Clause 18.6 may be made from time to time, and the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement may be enforced, irrespective of:

18.6.1 whether any demands, steps or proceedings are being or have been made or taken against any of the Obligors and/or any third party; or

18.6.2 whether or in what order any security to which any Finance Party may be entitled in respect of the Guaranteed Amounts is enforced.

18.7.2 hold in suspense account (subject to the accrual of interest thereon at market rates for the account of any Guarantor) any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of that Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

18.8 Subordination

So long as any of the Guarantors has any liability under this Agreement and except as provided in Clause 18.9 (Deferral of Subrogation, Contribution, Reimbursement, Exoneration and Indemnity):

18.8.1 no Guarantor shall take or accept any Security Interest from any Obligor or, in relation to the Guaranteed Amounts, from any third party, without first obtaining the Facility Agent’s written consent;

18.8.2 after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each such Guarantor shall not, without first obtaining the Facility Agent’s written consent, seek to recover, whether directly or by set off, lien, counterclaim or otherwise, nor accept any moneys or other property, nor exercise any rights in respect of, any sum which may be or become due to any such Guarantor on any account by any Obligor or, in relation to the Guaranteed Amounts, from any third party, nor claim, prove for or accept any payment in any composition by, or any winding up of, any Obligor or, in relation to the Guaranteed Amounts, any third party;

- 59 -

18.8.3 if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Guarantor holds or receives any such security, moneys or property, it shall forthwith pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent.

18.9 Deferral of Subrogation, Contribution, Reimbursement, Exoneration and Indemnity

Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any Obligor or any other person that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteed Amounts, including without limitation any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnity (or any similar right) prior to the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Amounts and all other amounts payable under this Clause 18 and the Final Maturity Date. If any amount shall be paid to any such Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Finance Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Facility Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Amounts and all other amounts payable under this Clause 18, whether or not due, in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents, or be held as collateral security for any Guaranteed Amounts or other amounts payable under this Clause 18 and thereafter arising. If (a) any such Guarantor shall make payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Amounts, (b) all of the Guaranteed Amounts and all other amounts payable under this Clause 18 shall be paid in full in cash and (c) the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Facility Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to that Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Amounts resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

18.10 Release of Guarantor’s right of contribution

If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

18.10.1 that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Financing Documents; and

18.10.2 each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Financing Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Financing Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Financing Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

18.11 Indemnity

As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes with the Finance Parties (and each of them) that, should the

- 60 -

Guaranteed Amounts not be recoverable from any Guarantor under this Clause 18 for any reason whatsoever (including, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, by reason of any other provision of this Agreement being or becoming void, unenforceable or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding that it may have been known to that Finance Party, each Guarantor shall, as a sole, original and independent obligation, upon first written demand by the Facility Agent under Clause 18.1 (Guarantee), make payment of the Guaranteed Amounts by way of a full indemnity in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided for in this Agreement and shall indemnify the Finance Parties (and each of them) against all losses, claims, costs, charges and expenses to which it may be subject or which they may incur under or in connection with this Agreement.

18.12 Limitation on U.S Guarantors

Any term or provision of this Clause 18 or any other term in this Agreement or any Financing Document notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations for which any U.S. Subsidiary shall be liable under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such U.S. Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance under applicable United States federal or state fraudulent conveyance laws.

22. SET-OFF AND PRO RATA SHARING

22.1 Set-off

Following an Event of Default which is continuing and has not been waived, any Lender may at the same time as providing notice to the relevant Obligor combine, consolidate or merge all or any of a Borrower’s or a Guarantor’s accounts with, and liabilities to, that Lender and may set off or transfer any sum standing to the credit of any such accounts in or towards satisfaction of any of the Borrower’s or any of the Guarantor’s, as the case may be, liabilities to that Lender under the Financing Documents, and may do so notwithstanding that the balances on such accounts and the liabilities may not be expressed in the same currency and each Lender is hereby authorised to effect any necessary conversions at the Lender’s own rate of exchange then prevailing.

22.2 Pro Rata Sharing

22.2.1 If, following an Event of Default, a Lender receives or recovers any amount (other than from the Facility Agent) in respect of sums due from a Borrower or a Guarantor under the Financing Documents (whether by set-off or otherwise) it shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of such amount and the manner of its receipt or recovery.

- 67 -

22.2.2 Following receipt of notice under sub-clause 22.2.1 of this Clause 22.2 the Facility Agent shall, as soon as practicable, having regard to the circumstances, consult with the Lenders to establish the aggregate amount of sums received or recovered by the Lenders and what payments are necessary amongst the Lenders for such aggregate amount to be divided amongst each Lender in the proportion to which each Lender’s Outstandings bear to the Total Outstandings.

22.2.3 The Lenders shall promptly make such payments to each other, through the Facility Agent, as the Facility Agent shall direct to effect the divisions referred to in sub-clause 22.2.2 of this Clause 22.2.

22.2.4 If a Lender makes a payment or payments pursuant to sub-clause 22.2.3 of this Clause 22.2, any payment previously received by that Lender as described in sub-clause 22.2.1 of this Clause 22.2 shall, subject to sub-clause 22.2.5, of this Clause 22.2 be deemed to have been made by the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, on the understanding that it was received by that Lender as agent for the Lenders and that the payments described in sub-clause 22.2.3 of this Clause 22.2 would be made and the liabilities of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, to each of the Lenders shall accordingly be determined on the basis that such payment or payments pursuant to sub-clause 22.2.3 of this Clause 22.2 would be made.

22.2.5 If a Lender makes a payment or payments pursuant to sub-clause 22.2.3 of this Clause 22.2, sub-clause 22.2.4 of this Clause 22.2 shall not apply if, as a result, the indebtedness of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor to the Lender has been extinguished, discharged or satisfied by the amount received or recovered (for example, because of set-off). In this event, for the purpose only of determining the liabilities of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Lenders (other than the Lender making the said payment or payments) and the liabilities of the Lenders to each other, the said payment or payments by the Lender shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, in respect of its obligations under the Financing Documents and to the extent the Facility is thereby discharged the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, shall fully indemnify the Lender for such payment or payments.

22.2.6 Any moneys payable by the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor under sub-clause 22.2.5 of this Clause 22.2 by way of indemnity shall be payable from the date the Lender makes the payment or payments under sub-clause 22.2.3 of this Clause 22.2, shall carry interest from such date and for such purpose and all other purposes of this Agreement be treated in the same way as other amounts payable under this Agreement as though such moneys were payable in respect of the Outstandings of the Lender which has the benefit of the indemnity contained in sub-clause 22.2.5 of this Clause 22.2 (whether or not the indebtedness attributable to such participation has been extinguished, discharged or satisfied in whole or in part).

- 68 -

For the purpose of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate of interest payable under this Agreement which is to be calculated on any basis other than a full calendar year is equivalent may be determined by multiplying such rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which interest at such rate is payable ends and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising such basis.

22.2.7 Every payment and adjustment made pursuant to this Clause 22.2 shall be subject to the condition that if any receipt or recovery as referred to in sub-clause 22.2.1 of this Clause 22.2 made by a Lender (or any part thereof) subsequently has to be repaid by the relevant Lender (the “Sharing Lender”) to the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, the Facility Agent (if it shall then hold the same) and each of the Lenders which has received any part thereof shall repay the relevant amount received (or the relevant part, as the case may be) to the Sharing Lender together with such amount (if any) as is necessary to reimburse to the Sharing Lender the appropriate proportion of any interest (in respect of the period during which the Facility Agent or (as the case may be) such Lender held such amount (or part thereof)) it shall have been obliged to pay when repaying such amount as aforesaid and the relevant adjustments pursuant to the preceding sub-clauses of this Clause 22.2 shall be to that extent cancelled.

22.3 Litigation

If any Lender shall commence an action or proceeding in any court to enforce its rights and, as a result thereof or in connection therewith, shall receive any amount which would otherwise require such Lender to make a payment to another Lender pursuant to this Clause 22.3 the relevant Lender shall not be required to make any such payment to (a) a Lender that has the legal right to, but does not (after notification to that Lender by the Lender instituting legal proceedings), join such action or proceeding or commence and diligently prosecute a separate action or proceeding to enforce its rights in the same or another court or (b) the Lenders(s) which shall have joined the same action or proceeding or shall have commenced and prosecuted a separate action or proceeding to enforce their rights in the same or in another court if, by reason of the negligence or wilful default of such Lender(s), such Lender(s) shall obtain a sum which is proportionately smaller (including a nil receipt) than that received by the Lender otherwise required to make a payment pursuant to this Clause 22.3.

22.4 Notification

Each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Facility Agent of:

22.4.1 the institution by such Lender of any legal action or proceedings hereunder or in connection herewith prior to such institution; and

- 69 -

22.4.2 the receipt or recovery by such Lender of any amount due and payable to such Lender hereunder and received or recovered by it otherwise than through the Facility Agent.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Facility Agent will as soon as practicable thereafter notify all the other Lenders.

23. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT

23.1 Assignments and transfers by Obligors

Except as otherwise provided in Clause 3.9 (Substitution of Borrowers), no Obligor may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

23.2 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 23, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

23.2.1 assign any of its rights; or

23.2.2 transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

to another bank or financial institution (the “New Lender”).

23.3 Conditions of assignment or transfer

23.3.1 The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

23.3.2 The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time.

23.3.3 The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

23.3.4 The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer is not required when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

23.3.5 Any such transfer may be in whole or in part of the Existing Lender’s relevant Commitment but, if in part, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (unless the Obligors’ Agent otherwise agrees in its absolute discretion) and provided that after such transfer such Existing Lender’s Commitment shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or zero if the whole of such Existing Lender’s Commitment is transferred).

23.3.6 An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent 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

- 70 -

Lenders as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender and performance by the Facility Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lenders and the New Lender.

23.3.7 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 23.6 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

23.3.8 If:

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

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15.3 (Withholdings) or Clause 14.2 (Increased Costs),

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 or change had not occurred.

23.4 Assignment or transfer fee

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.

23.5 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

23.5.1 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(a) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Financing Documents or any other documents;

(b) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(c) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Financing Documents or any other documents; or

(d) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Financing Documents or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

- 71 -

23.5.2 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Lenders that it:

(a) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Financing Documents; and

(b) 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 Financing Documents or any Commitment is in force.

23.5.3 Nothing in any Financing Documents obliges an Existing Lender to:

(a) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 23 ; or

(b) 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 Financing Documents or otherwise.

23.6 Procedure for transfer

23.6.1 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 23.3 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with sub-clause 23.6.3 of this Clause 23.6 when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to sub-clause 23.6.2 below of this Clause 23.6, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

23.6.2 The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such Lender.

23.6.3 On the Transfer Date:

(a) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Financing Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(b) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the

- 72 -

Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Borrower and the Existing Lender;

(c) the Facility Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been on the date of this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(d) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

23.7 Copy of Transfer Certificate to Company

The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

23.8 Disclosure of information

Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:

23.8.1 to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

23.8.2 with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or

23.8.3 to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Financing Documents as that Lender shall consider reasonably appropriate if, in relation to sub-clauses 23.8.1 and 23.8.2 of this Clause 23.8, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Financing Documents, the Obligors and the Finance Parties hereby agree that each Party and each employee, representative or other agent of each Party may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the “tax structure” and “tax treatment” (in each case within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the Facility and any materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the foregoing relating to such tax structure and tax treatment.

23.9 Limitation of Increased Costs

Where any Lender assigns or transfers all or any part of its rights or obligations hereunder or changes its lending office for the purpose of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be liable

- 73 -

(other than where such change in its lending office was requested by the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of any Borrower) to pay any additional amounts under Clauses 14.2 (Increased Costs) or 15.3 (Withholdings) due to circumstances existing on the effective date of such assignment or transfer and which would not have been payable had no such change, assignment or transfer taken place.

23.10 Sub-Participations

No Lender shall be required to notify any other party to this Agreement of a sub-participation of its rights and interests hereunder provided that nothing in this Clause 23.10 (Sub-Participations) gives any sub-participant any rights against any Borrower or the Guarantor. No Borrower shall be liable to pay any additional amounts under Clause 14.2 (Increased Costs) or Clause 15.3 (Withholdings) arising as a direct consequence of any such sub-participation.

23.11 Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, without notice to or consent of any Party, to any U.S. Federal Reserve Bank provided that (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such U.S. Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action under this Agreement.

23.12 The Register

The Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment agreement and Transfer Certificate delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the commitments of and obligations owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and each Obligor, the Facility Agent and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Obligor at any reasonable time and from time to time to upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless it is recorded in the Register.

24. FURTHER PROVISIONS

24.1 Evidence of Indebtedness

In any proceedings relating to this Agreement:

24.1.1 a statement as to any amount due to the Lenders under this Agreement which is certified as being correct by an officer of the Facility Agent; and

24.1.2 a statement as to any amount due to a Lender under this Agreement which is certified as being correct by an officer of the Lender,

shall, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, be prima facie evidence that such amount is in fact due and payable.

- 74 -

24.2 Application of Moneys

If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities of a Borrower under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, the Facility Agent may apply that sum to principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under this Agreement in such proportions and order and generally in such manner as the Majority Lenders shall determine.

24.3 Rights Cumulative: Waivers

The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised as often as is considered appropriate by the relevant Party and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. The respective rights of the Facility Agent and the Lenders in relation to the Facility (whether arising under this Agreement or under the general law) shall not be capable of being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing; and in particular any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights shall not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right; and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on their part or on their behalf shall in any way preclude them from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.

24.4 Amendments

The Facility Agent may (except where any other authority is required for the same by the express provisions of the Financing Documents) grant waivers or consents or vary the terms of the Financing Documents if authorised by the Majority Lenders and the Obligors’ Agent. Any such waiver, consent or variation so authorised and effected by the Facility Agent shall be binding on all the Lenders and the Facility Agent shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any such waiver, consent or variation. This Clause 24.4 shall not authorise:

24.4.1 any change in the rate at which interest is payable or the method by which interest is calculated under this Agreement;

24.4.2 any extension of the date for, or alteration in the amount or currency of, any payment of principal, interest, fee, commission or any other amount payable under the Financing Documents;

24.4.3 any extension of the Final Drawing Date or the Final Maturity Date;

24.4.4 any increase in any Lender’s Commitment;

24.4.6 any release of any Guarantor except where specifically permitted elsewhere in this Agreement or any variation or amendment to Clause 13.15 (Limitation on Borrowings of Subsidiaries),

except with the prior consent of all the Lenders.

SCHEDULE 2

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

(a) The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate in relation to the cost of compliance with (i) 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 (ii) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b) For the purpose of paragraph (a) of the definition of Mandatory Cost, the Mandatory Cost for an Advance for each of its Interest Periods is the rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) determined by the Facility Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upward, if necessary, to four decimal places) of the respective rates notified by each of the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent as the rate resulting from the application of the following formula:

in relation to an Advance denominated in sterling:

AB + C(B-D) + E x 0.01% per annum

100-(A + C)

in relation to any other Advance:

E x 0.01% per annum

300

where on the day of application of the formula:

A is the percentage of the Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Reference Bank 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 Margin and the Mandatory Cost) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Advance;

C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Reference Bank is required 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; and

E is the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

- 81 -

(c) For the purposes of this Schedule 2:

(i) “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;

(ii) “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;

(iii) “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

(iv) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

(d) In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% 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.

(e) If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Reference Bank shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Reference Bank:

(i) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office;

(ii) the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority calculated in accordance with E above; and

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

Each Reference Bank shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph and, 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 in accordance with E above) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

(f) The percentages or rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purposes of A, C and E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraph (e) above and on the assumption that, unless a Reference Bank notifies

- 82 -

the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Reference Bank’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.
