Section 1.03. Effect as a Deed
 
This Agreement is intended to take effect as a Deed.
 
 
 
(a)  
The 2007 Trustee hereby acknowledges the creation and existence of the 2008 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security and the 2010 Security on a pari passu basis with the 2007 Notes Security in right and priority of payment, without any preference between themselves.
 
(b)  
The 2008 Trustee hereby acknowledges the creation and existence of the 2007 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security and the 2010 Security on a pari passu basis with the 2008 Notes Security in right and priority of payment, without any preference between themselves.
 
(c)  
The 2009 Trustee hereby acknowledges the creation and existence of the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security and the 2010 Security on a pari passu basis with the 2009 Notes Security in right and priority of payment, without any preference between themselves.
 
(d)  
Each of the 2010 Security Trustee, the 2010 Notes Trustee and the 2010 Agent hereby acknowledges the creation and existence of the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security and the 2009 Notes Security on a pari passu basis with the 2010 Security in right and priority of payment, without any preference between themselves.
 
(e)  
The Obligors hereby agree to the terms of this Agreement and undertake with the Secured Parties to observe the provisions hereof and not to do or omit to do anything which may prejudice or adversely affect the enforcement of such provisions.
 
 
 
(a)  
Unless and until the whole of the Amount Outstanding has been paid in full, all Distribution Moneys shall, as between the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Trustee and the 2010 Security Trustee, be applied and divided as follows:
 
 
(1)
first, pro rata in paying all proper costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in the enforcement of the Security or any part thereof or otherwise in collecting Distribution Moneys, which will be pro rata to the Amount Outstanding under the 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt respectively;
 
 
8

 
 
 
(2)
next, pro rata in paying to each of the Secured Parties the part of the Amount Outstanding which is due and payable to it in respect of the 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt respectively, and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.01(b); and
 
 
(3)
last, in paying the surplus (if any) to the person or persons entitled thereto.
 
(b)  
If the Distribution Moneys are or may be insufficient to pay in full all amounts due under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, then the Distribution Moneys shall be apportioned for payment under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, ratably and without preference or priority between the Secured Parties in the proportions that the part of the Amount Outstanding which is due in respect of, respectively, the 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt at the date of such payment bears to the whole of the Amount Outstanding at such date.  Pending such payment, such Distribution Moneys shall be held in a segregated interest-bearing deposit account, and interest thereon shall form part of the Distribution Moneys for payment under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2).
 
(c)  
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the existence of a Foreign Exchange Event, none of the Secured Parties shall be required to share with the others any Distribution Moneys in a currency other than the local currency of the jurisdiction of such recovery (in this Section 3.01(c) referred to as the “Local Currency”) or proceeds of any Distribution Moneys which it recovers pro rata in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) in any currency other than the Local Currency.
 
 
For the purposes of determining the respective entitlements of the Secured Parties between themselves at any time or from time to time to any Distribution Moneys, the Secured Parties shall use Euro as the currency of reference.  Any amounts expressed in currencies other than Euro shall be notionally converted into Euro at the effective rate of exchange for buying Euro on the date of such payment as notified by the European Central Bank.  If, in the case of any particular currency, there is no such effective rate of exchange on such date, any amount expressed in that currency shall be notionally converted into Euro at such rate of exchange as may be reasonably determined by the 2007 Trustee (in respect of the 2007 Notes Debt), the 2008 Trustee (in respect of the 2008 Notes Debt), the 2009 Note Trustee (in respect of the 2009 Notes Debt), the 2010 Note Trustee (in respect of the 2010 Notes Debt) and the 2010 Agent (in respect of the 2010 RCF Debt) on the basis of the most recent information provided by the International Monetary Fund.

Section 3.03.  Trust
 
In the event that any of the Secured Parties receives any Distribution Moneys in excess of their respective entitlement under this Article, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the remaining Secured Parties and hold any such excess moneys in trust for the remaining Secured Parties, to whom it shall account therefor as soon as the respective entitlement of each of the Secured Parties has been established pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

11

 
 
(g) 
If an Enforcement Notice is served by the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) and/or the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) then the Secured Parties (and in the context of the 2010 Debt, the 2010 Agent and the 2010 Note Trustee (as applicable)) shall (to the extent not already so due and payable) declare all amounts of the 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt, respectively, to be immediately due and payable under Section 6.2 of the 2007 Indenture, Section 6.02 of the 2008 Indenture, Section 6.2 of the 2009 Indenture Section 6.2 of the 2010 Indenture or Clause 23.19 of the 2010 RCF and shall co-operate with each other to enforce the Security on a pari passu basis and in accordance with the following provisions:
 
 
(i) 
the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security and the 2010 Security shall be enforced jointly and, so far as practicable, by the same method;
 
 
(ii) 
such enforcement will be effected with the aim of maximising recoveries with the objective of achieving an expeditious realisation of assets subject to the Security; and
 
 
(iii) 
in the case of the exercise of a power of sale in accordance with the Security Documents, each of the Secured Parties shall execute such release or other necessary document so as to permit a good title free from any Security to be passed to the purchasers.
 
(h)
For the avoidance of doubt, neither the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) nor the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) shall be prevented from separately commencing enforcement action under the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security or the 2010 Security (as applicable), at any time prior to an Enforcement Notice having been served by the other Secured Parties, provided that, such Secured Party seeking to enforce its Security has delivered an Enforcement Notice on the other Secured Parties prior to commencing such action.
 
 
(i) 
Each of the Secured Parties shall keep the other Secured Parties informed of any proceedings to enforce the Security or any part thereof, any other proceedings against the Company and any other material matters which may affect the operation of this Agreement.
