ARTICLE 1
LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

1.1 Total UK Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the UK Lenders agree to continue the Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Letters of Credit as UK Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder and to make available a total credit facility of up to £75,000,000 (the “Total UK Facility”) to the UK Borrowers from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Total UK Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of UK Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers (directly or through funding of a Revolving Loan) shall pay in full the Existing Term Loans and the Existing UK Credit Agreement and the Existing US Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety as more particularly described herein and therein and neither the Credit Parties nor the Lenders shall be subject to or bound by any of the terms or provisions of the Existing US Credit Agreement or the Existing UK Credit Agreement and shall only be subject to or bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the US Credit Agreement in respect of the US Commitments, the UK Commitments, the Loans and other Obligations and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, as set forth herein and therein. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the US Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Existing Revolving Loans and other obligations under the Existing US Credit Agreement and the Existing UK Credit Agreement (other than the prepayment of the Existing Term Loans made concurrently with the effectiveness of the UK Credit Agreement or the US Credit Agreement) and that all such obligations (other than the Existing Term Loans so prepaid) are in all respects continued and outstanding as obligations under this Agreement and the US Credit Agreement with only the terms being modified from and after the Closing Date as provided in this Agreement, the US Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. By its execution hereof, each UK Lender consents to the amendment, amendment and restatement, replacement or other modification to any other Loan Document being so amended, amended and restated, replaced or otherwise modified on the Closing Date in the form approved by the UK Agent.

1.2 UK Revolving Loans.


	(a) (i) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8, each Funding UK Lender and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for each of the UK Revolver Participants) severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the UK Borrower Representative’s request from time to time on any UK

EXECUTION COPY


	Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans in Pounds Sterling (the “UK Revolving Loans”) to the UK Borrowers (or to continue Existing Revolving Loans under the UK Credit Agreement) in amounts not to exceed such Funding UK Lender’s (or in the case of the UK Fronting Lender, the total aggregate amount of the UK Revolver Participants’) Pro Rata Share of UK Availability, except for Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances (together with the agreement set forth in Section 1.4 to issue Letters of Credit or provide Credit Support for the account of the UK Borrowers, the “UK Revolving Facility”). The UK Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make (or, in the case of the UK Revolver Participants direct the UK Fronting Lender to make) UK Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of Credit for the account of the UK Borrowers in excess of the UK Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the UK Agent nor the UK Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the UK Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If the Aggregate Outstandings would exceed Total Excess Availability (with Total Excess Availability for this purpose only calculated as if Aggregate Outstandings, US Aggregate Outstandings and UK Aggregate Outstandings were equal to zero) after giving effect to any UK Borrowing or if UK Aggregate Outstandings would exceed UK Availability (with UK Availability for this purpose only calculated as if US Aggregate Outstandings and UK Aggregate Outstandings were equal to zero) after giving effect to any UK Borrowing, the UK Lenders may refuse to make (or, in the case of the UK Revolver Participants refuse to direct the UK Fronting Lender to make) or may otherwise restrict the making of UK Revolving Loans as the UK Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the UK Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i).

	(ii) Participations. Each of the UK Revolver Participants agrees to enter into and assume a risk participation with and from the UK Fronting Lender (and the UK Fronting Lender hereby agrees to such risk participation) in the amount of its UK Revolver Participant Commitment on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.

	(b) Procedure for Borrowing.

(1) Each UK Borrowing of UK Revolving Loans shall be made upon the UK Borrower Representative’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the UK Agent, with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (“Notice of Borrowing”), which must be received by the UK Agent prior to (i) 11:00 a.m. (London time) three UK Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of UK LIBOR Revolving Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (London time) one UK Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of UK Base Rate Revolving Loans, specifying:

(A) the amount of UK Borrowing, which in the case of a UK LIBOR Revolving Loan must equal to or exceed £500,000 (and increments of £250,000 in excess of such amount);

EXECUTION COPY

(B) the requested Funding Date, which must be a UK Business Day;

(C) whether the UK Revolving Loans requested are to be UK Base Rate Revolving Loans or UK LIBOR Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a UK Base Rate Revolving Loan); and

(D) the duration of the Interest Period for any requested UK LIBOR Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month);

provided, however, that with respect to the UK Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such UK Borrowings will consist of UK Base Rate Revolving Loans only.

(2) The UK Borrowers shall have no right to request a UK LIBOR Revolving Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(1) Each UK Borrower hereby designates Ravenstock as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Notices of Borrowing and Notices of Conversion/Continuation, in each case in respect of UK Revolving Loans, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the UK Revolving Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit for the account of any UK Borrower, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any UK Borrower or UK Borrowers under the Loan Documents (in such capacity, the “UK Borrower Representatives”). The UK Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each UK Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each UK Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the UK Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all UK Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to the UK Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to the UK Borrower Representative on behalf of the UK Borrower or Borrowers. Each UK Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the UK Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such UK Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such UK Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such UK Borrower.

(2) All UK Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the UK Borrowers are engaged in an integrated operation that requires financing on the basis of credit availability to each UK Borrower, that the co-borrowing and participation arrangement has been established at the request of the UK Borrowers, and that each UK Borrower expects to derive, directly or indirectly, benefit from such credit availability to the other UK Borrowers. Neither any UK Agent nor the Letter of Credit Issuer nor any UK Lender shall incur any liability to UK Borrowers or any other Credit Party as a result of the co-borrowing and participation

EXECUTION COPY

arrangement for the UK Borrowers established by this Agreement and shall not have any liability or responsibility to the UK Borrowers to inquire into the allocation, apportionment or use of the proceeds of any UK Revolving Loans or extensions of credit hereunder. To induce the UK Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the UK Lenders to establish this co-borrowing and participation arrangement for the UK Borrowers and in consideration thereof, each UK Borrower hereby indemnifies the UK Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the UK Lenders (including for the avoidance of doubt the UK Fronting Lender and the UK Revolver Participants), and their respective successors and assigns, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims asserted against them by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the designation of the UK Borrower Representative as such and the co-borrowing and participation arrangements of the UK Borrowers as provided in this Agreement, any reliance by any UK Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any UK Lender on any document, request or instruction given by the UK Borrower Representative designated by the UK Borrowers herein to act on their behalf or any other action taken by any UK Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the UK Lenders with respect to the co-borrowing and participation arrangement; provided, however, that no UK Borrower shall have an obligation to indemnify any UK Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any UK Lender under this Section 1.2(c)(2) with respect to any liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements of the UK Borrowers contained in this Section l.2(c)(2) shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(3) Prior to the Closing Date, the UK Borrower Representative shall deliver to the UK Agent, a notice setting forth the account of each UK Borrower (each, a “Designated Account”) to which the Applicable Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the UK Revolving Loans requested hereunder. Each UK Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice. All such Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the UK Agent. The UK Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any person’s request for UK Revolving Loans on behalf of each UK Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to such UK Borrower’s Designated Account. The UK Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the UK Borrower to make such requests on its behalf.


	(d) No Liability. No UK Agent shall incur any liability to any UK Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Section 1.2(b) which the UK Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the UK Borrower Representative to request UK Revolving Loans on behalf of the UK Borrowers. The crediting of UK Revolving Loans to a UK Borrower’s Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of such UK Borrower to repay such UK Revolving Loans as provided herein.

	(e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The UK Borrowers shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

	(f) UK Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the UK Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of

EXECUTION COPY


	Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested UK Borrowing. If the Administrative Agent declines in its sole discretion to have the Bank make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested UK Borrowing.

	(g) Making of UK Revolving Loans. If the UK Agent elects to have the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply to a requested UK Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the UK Agent shall notify the UK Lenders in writing by telecopy or e-mail of the requested UK Borrowing. Each Funding UK Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) shall transfer the UK Revolver Participants’ Pro Rata Share of the requested UK Borrowing to the UK Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time designated by the UK Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the applicable Funding Date. After the UK Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of such UK Revolving Loans, the UK Agent shall make the proceeds of such UK Revolving Loans available to the UK Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the UK Borrower’s Designated Account; provided, however, that the amount of UK Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed either UK Availability or Total Excess Availability on such date.

	(h) Making of Non-Ratable Loans.

(1) If the UK Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested UK Borrowing, the Bank shall make a UK Revolving Loan in the amount of that UK Borrowing available to the UK Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to UK Borrower’s Designated Account or, in the case of UK Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date, to such accounts as designated by the UK Borrower Representative in writing. Each UK Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan”, and such UK Revolving Loans are collectively referred to as the “Non-Ratable Loans.” Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other UK Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Non-Ratable Loans outstanding at any time to all UK Borrowers shall not exceed £10,000,000. The UK Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (1) the UK Agent has received written notice from any UK Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (2) the requested UK Borrowing would exceed UK Availability or Total Excess Availability on that Funding Date.

(2) The Non-Ratable Loans to the UK Borrower shall be secured by the UK Agents’ Liens in and to the UK Collateral and shall constitute UK Base Rate Revolving Loans and UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers hereunder.

(i) Agent Advances.

(1) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the UK Agent is authorized by each UK Obligor and each UK Lender, from time to time in the UK Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that

EXECUTION COPY

any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make UK Base Rate Revolving Loans to the UK Borrowers on behalf of the UK Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed 10% of the UK Borrowing Base but not in excess of the Maximum UK Amount which the UK Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the UK Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the UK Revolving Loans and other UK Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the UK Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, that the UK Required Lenders may at any time revoke the UK Agent’s authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the UK Agent’s receipt thereof.

(2) The Agent Advances made with respect to any UK Borrower shall be secured by the UK Agents’ Liens in and to the UK Collateral and shall constitute UK Base Rate Revolving Loans and UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers hereunder.

1.4 Letters of Credit.


	(a) Agreement to Issue or Cause To Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, UK Agent agrees (i) to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue for the account of a UK Borrower one or more standby letters of credit when instructed by the UK Borrower Representative (“Letter of Credit”) and/or (ii) to provide credit support or other enhancement to an issuer of a letter of credit acceptable to UK Agent, which issues a Letter of Credit for the account of any UK Borrower (any such credit support or enhancement being herein referred to as a “Credit Support”) when instructed by such UK Borrower Representative from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

	(b) Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The UK Agent shall not have any obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is greater than the UK Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the UK Borrowers in connection with the opening thereof would exceed either UK Availability or Total Excess Availability at such time; (iii) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than 30 days prior to the Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance for standby letters of credit; (iv) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or (v) such Letter of Credit for the account of any UK Borrower is denominated in any currency other than Pounds Sterling. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each UK Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless the Required Lenders shall have provided to the UK Agent, written notice that they decline to consent to any such

EXECUTION COPY


	extension or renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit.

	(c) Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent contained in Article 8, the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue or the UK Agent to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the UK Agent:

(1) The UK Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the UK Agent for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form, terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the UK Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(2) As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

(d) Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(1) Request for Issuance. The UK Borrower Representative must notify the UK Agent of a requested Letter of Credit at least three (3) UK Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date (or any lesser period as approved by the UK Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer). Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the UK Business Day of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the UK Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. The UK Borrower Representative shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

(2) Responsibilities of the UK Agent; Issuance. As of the UK Business Day immediately preceding the requested issuance date of the Letter of Credit, the UK Agent shall determine the amount of the UK Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and UK Availability or Total Excess Availability. If (i) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is less than the UK Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the UK Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed UK Availability or Total Excess Availability, the UK

EXECUTION COPY

Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof are met.

(3) No Extensions or Amendment. The UK Agent shall not be obligated to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to extend or amend any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section 1.4 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.


	(e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally to reimburse immediately when due the Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit and the UK Agent for the account of the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) upon any payment pursuant to any Credit Support, and to pay the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for its account immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the UK Borrowers may have at any time against the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the UK Borrowers to the UK Agent for a Borrowing of a UK Base Rate Revolving Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of such drawing, and the UK Agent is authorized to charge the UK Borrowers’ Loan Account for the amount of such drawing in accordance with Section 3.6.

	(f) Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

(1) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.4, the UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to protect, indemnify, pay and save the UK Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the UK Fronting Lender and the UK Revolver Participants) and the UK Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any UK Lender or the UK Agent (other than a UK Lender in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the provision of any Credit Support or enhancement in connection therewith. The UK Borrowers’ obligations under this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(2) Assumption of Risk by the Applicable Borrowers. As among the UK Borrowers, the UK Lenders, and the UK Agents, the UK Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the UK Lenders and the UK Agents (in each case, in their capacity as such) shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be

EXECUTION COPY

invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the UK Lenders or the UK Agents, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) the Letter of Credit Issuer’s honor of a draw for which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the UK Agents or any UK Lender under this Section 1.4(f).

(3) Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by any UK Agent or any UK Lender (excluding any UK Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) shall result in any liability of UK Agent or any UK Lender to any UK Borrower, or relieve any UK Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(4) Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the UK Borrowers’ rights, if any, with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between the UK Borrower (or the UK Borrower Representative on its behalf) and the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(5) Account Party. Each UK Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the UK Borrower as the “Account Party” therein for any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and to deliver to the UK Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the UK Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(g) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.4(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit or Credit Support is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination the UK Borrowers shall deposit with the UK Agent upon the UK Agent’s request in writing, for the ratable benefit of the UK Agents and the applicable UK Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit or Credit Support then outstanding, either (X) a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to the UK Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory to the UK Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support may be drawn plus any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support or (Y) cash collateral in such amount. The UK Agent shall be entitled to draw on such Supporting Letter of Credit, or withdraw from the cash collateral account, for amounts necessary to reimburse the UK Agent and the applicable UK Lenders for payments to be made by the UK Agent and the Funding UK Lenders (and the UK Fronting Lender as

EXECUTION COPY

fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) under such Letter of Credit or Credit Support and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or Credit Support. Such Supporting Letter of Credit or cash collateral shall be held by the UK Agent, for the ratable benefit of the UK Agents and the applicable UK Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such Credit Support remaining outstanding. Upon expiration of any such outstanding Letter of Credit, or cancellation and return of such Letter of Credit to the Letter of Credit Issuer, the UK Agent shall return to the UK Borrowers any Supporting Letter of Credit and pay to the UK. Borrowers any cash remaining after payment of all amounts due with respect to such Letter of Credit.

1.5 UK Bank Products. Each UK Borrower may request and the UK Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for such UK Borrower to obtain from the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates’ UK Bank Products, although no UK Borrower is required to do so. If UK Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank, the UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold the UK Agents, the Bank and the UK Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by any UK Agent, the Bank or any of the UK Lenders which arise from any indemnity given by the UK Agent to its Affiliates related to such UK Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to limit any UK Borrower’s rights with respect to the Bank or its Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between any UK Borrower and the Bank which relate to UK Bank Products. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Each UK Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of UK Bank Products from the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates.

1.6 Joint And Several Obligations; Cross-Guaranty.


	(a) Each UK Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the UK Agents and the UK Lenders the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of all UK Obligations owed or hereafter owing to the UK Agent and the UK Lenders by each other UK Borrower, regardless of which UK Borrower actually receives any UK Revolving Loans or other extensions of credit under the UK Loan Documents, the amount received by any UK Borrower or the manner in which any UK Borrower, the UK Agent or any UK Lender accounts for such Loans and other extensions of credit. Each UK Borrower agrees that its joint and several guaranty of the Obligations hereunder are a continuing obligation of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its UK Obligations under this Section 1.6 shall not be discharged until payment and performance in full of all Obligations and termination of all US Commitments and UK Commitments.

	(b) The UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers under this Section 1.6 and the Liens securing such UK Obligations shall not be released or impaired by any action or inaction on the part of any UK Agent or any UK Lender which would otherwise constitute the release of a surety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

EXECUTION COPY


	liability of any UK Borrower hereunder shall not be affected or impaired in any manner by (i) the failure of any Person to become or remain a UK Borrower or guarantor or the failure of any UK Agent or any UK Lender to preserve, protect or enforce any right to require any Person to become or remain a UK Borrower or guarantor, (ii) any taking, failure to take, failure to create, perfect or ensure the priority of, or exchange, release or termination or lapse of any Lien securing any UK Obligations of any other UK Borrower, or any taking, failure to take, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from, any other guaranty of any of the UK Obligations of any other UK Borrower, (iii) any manner or order of sale or other enforcement of any Lien securing any of the UK Obligations or any manner or order of application of the proceeds of any such Lien to the payment of the UK Obligations or any failure to enforce any Lien or to apply any proceeds thereof, (iv) any furnishing, exchange, substitution or release of any collateral securing the UK Obligations, or any failure to perfect any Lien in any of the collateral securing the UK Obligations, or (v) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense (except the final payment in full) available to, or a discharge of, a surety or guarantor.

	(c) The liability of each UK Borrower under this Agreement for obligations in its capacity as guarantor and in its joint and several liability as a co-UK Borrower for any other UK Borrower’s UK Obligations hereunder shall remain valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than final payment in full of the UK Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not such Borrower shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the UK Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the UK Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Default) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant hereto or thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the UK Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the UK Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any liability other than the UK Obligations, even though the UK Lenders might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the UK Obligations; (v) any consent by any UK Lender or any UK Agent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any other UK Borrower, or any other Person and to any corresponding restructuring of the UK Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the UK Obligations; (vii) any defenses (except the defense of final payment in full), set-offs or counterclaims which any UK Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person may allege or assert against any Agent or any Lender in respect of the UK Obligations, including, for example, failure of

EXECUTION COPY


	consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any UK Borrower as an obligor in respect of the UK Obligations.

	(d) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each UK Borrower in its capacity as a guarantor hereunder, hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of: (i) any defense now existing or hereafter arising based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person from any cause other than full payment and performance of all obligations due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or UK Agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person, or any defect in the formation of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person; (iii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection, or failure of priority of any security for the UK Obligations; (iv) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any UK Agent or any UK Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for an UK Obligation, has destroyed such UK Borrower’s rights of subrogation or otherwise; (v) any defense based upon any failure to disclose to such UK Borrower any information concerning the financial condition of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person or any other circumstances bearing on the ability of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person to pay and perform all obligations due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) any failure by any UK Agent or any UK Lender to give notice to such UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person of the sale or other disposition of security, and any defect in notice given by any UK Agent or any UK Lender in connection with any such sale or disposition of security; (vii) any failure of any UK Agent or any UK Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or disposition of security, including, without limitation, any failure by any UK Lender or any UK Agent to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of such security; (viii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal, or that reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal’s obligation; (ix) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which any UK Agent or any UK Lender may have against any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security now or hereafter held by the UK Agent or any UK Lender for the UK Obligations of the other UK Borrowers, until all UK Obligations have been paid in full and the UK Commitments terminated; (x) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional UK Obligations; (xi) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of any other UK Borrower or any guarantor or other Person, enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the liability of any other UK Borrower hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (xii) all notices of intention to accelerate and/or notice of acceleration of the UK Obligations; (xiii) relief from any

EXECUTION COPY


	applicable valuation or appraisement laws; (xiv) any other action by any UK Agent or any UK Lender, whether authorized by this Agreement or otherwise, or any omission by any UK Agent or any UK Lender or other failure of any UK Agent or any UK Lender to pursue, or delay in pursuing, any other remedy in its power; (xv) any and all claims and/or rights of counterclaim, recoupment, setoff or offset; and (xvi) any defense based upon the application of the proceeds of a Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by the UK Borrowers or intended or understood by any UK Agent or any UK Lender or any UK Borrower. Each UK Borrower agrees that the payment and performance of all UK Obligations or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such UK Borrower’s liability under this Section 1.6. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, each UK Borrower further waives any and all rights and defenses that such UK Borrower may have as a guarantor because the UK Obligations of any of the other UK Borrowers are secured by real property of any of the other UK Borrowers; this means, among other things, that: (l) the UK Lenders may collect from such UK Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other UK Borrower, (2) if any UK Agent or any UK Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other UK Borrower, then (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) any UK Agent or any UK Lender may collect from such UK Borrower even if any UK Agent or any UK Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such UK Borrower may have to collect from any other UK Borrower. The foregoing sentence is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each UK Borrower may have because the UK Obligations are secured by real property of any other UK Borrower. Based on the preceding sentence and without limiting the generality of the foregoing waivers contained in this subparagraph or any other provision hereof, each UK Borrower expressly waives to the maximum extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses (except the defense of final payment in full), including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (except subrogation or contribution pursuant to this Agreement), which might otherwise be available to such UK Borrower under the laws of any jurisdiction to the extent the same are applicable to this Agreement or the agreements, covenants or obligations of any other UK Borrower hereunder or under any other UK Loan Document.

	(e) Each UK Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of the other UK Borrowers and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon such UK Borrower’s own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto and is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement by any UK Agent or any UK Lender. Each UK Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning the financial condition of the other UK Borrowers, or any other guarantor or their respective properties, financial condition and prospects and any other matter pertinent hereto as such UK Borrower may desire, and such UK Borrower is not relying upon or expecting any UK Agent or any UK Lender to furnish to such UK Borrower any information now or hereafter in the possession of the UK Agent or any UK Lender concerning the same or any other matter. By executing this

EXECUTION COPY


	Agreement, each UK Borrower knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of this type, which risks such UK Borrower acknowledges. No UK Borrower shall have the right to require any UK Agent or any UK Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to the UK Obligations, the financial condition or prospects of any other UK Borrower, the ability of any other UK Borrower to pay or perform its UK Obligations, the existence, perfection, priority or enforceability of any collateral security for any or all of the UK Obligations, the existence or enforceability of any other guaranties of all or any part of the UK Obligations, any action or non-action on the part of any UK Agent or any UK Lender, any other UK Borrower or any other Person, or any other event, occurrence, condition or circumstance whatsoever.

	(f) [Intentionally deleted].

	(g) Each UK Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that any UK Borrower makes any payment hereunder on behalf of another UK Borrower, the UK Borrower making such payment shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution and indemnification from and to be reimbursed by each other UK Borrower, in an amount equal to a fraction of such payment, the numerator of which is the Maximum Liability of the UK Borrower making the payment and the denominator of which is the Maximum Liability of all UK Borrowers as of the date of determination. Each UK Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.6(g). The provisions of this Section 1.6(g) shall in no respect limit the direct obligations and liabilities of any UK Borrower to the UK Lenders for any UK Revolving Loans and advances made to it, or any Letter of Credit or Credit Support issued for its benefit and each UK Borrower shall remain liable to the UK Lenders for the full amount of its liabilities under this Agreement.

	(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each UK Borrower in its capacity as a guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers are paid in full in cash and all UK Commitments are terminated. Each UK Borrower in its capacity as a guarantor only acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the UK Agents and the UK Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such UK Borrower’s primary liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 1.6, and that the UK Agents, UK Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 1.6.

	(i) No UK Borrower shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any UK Agent or any UK Lender or against any other UK Borrower, or any collateral security or guarantee or right to offset held by any UK Agent or any UK Lender for the payment of the UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers, as the case may be, nor shall any UK Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from or any other UK Borrower in respect of payments made by such UK Borrower

EXECUTION COPY


	hereunder, until all amounts owing to the UK Agents and the UK Lenders on account of the UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the UK Commitments are terminated or have expired. If any amount shall be paid to any UK Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time not permitted hereunder, such amount shall be held by such UK Borrower in trust for the UK Agent and the UK Lenders, segregated from other funds of such UK Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt, be turned over to the UK Agent in the exact form received (duly endorsed to the UK Agent, if required), to be applied against the UK Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the UK Agent may determine.

	(j) This Section 1.6 is intended only to define the relative rights of the UK Borrowers, the UK Agents and the UK Lenders and nothing set forth in this Section 1.6 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the UK Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 1.6 shall limit the liability of any UK Borrower to pay the Loans or Advances made directly or indirectly to that UK Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto, for which such UK Borrower shall be primarily liable.

	(k) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each UK Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

1.7 UK Fronting Lender’s Put Rights. So long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the UK Fronting Lender shall have the right, upon written notice (a “Put Notice”), to each UK Revolver Participant to require such UK Revolver Participants, within three (3) UK Business Days following receipt of a Put Notice, to purchase and assume the aggregate outstanding amount of its UK Revolver Participant Commitment from the UK Fronting Lender by payment of such amount in immediately available funds in Pounds Sterling. Each UK Revolver Participant’s duty and obligation to purchase the aggregate outstanding amount of such UK Revolver Participant Commitment shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such UK Revolver Participant may have against the UK Fronting Lender, any UK Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (c) any inability of any UK Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (d) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to the foregoing. If any UK Revolver Participant does not pay to the UK Fronting Lender the amount of the aggregate outstanding amount of its UK Revolver Participant Commitment within the later of three (3) UK Business Days or three (3) US Business Days after receipt of the Put Notice (the “Put Date”), (i) such amount shall be due and payable on demand and shall bear interest at the higher of (x) the UK Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin specified for UK Base Rate Revolving Loans plus Mandatory Costs and (y) the UK LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for UK LIBOR Revolving Loans plus the Mandatory Cost per annum until paid and (ii) such UK Revolver Participant shall be required to pay an administration and risk management charge to the UK Fronting Lender in the amount of £50,000, unless such non-payment is due solely to

EXECUTION COPY

ARTICLE 2
INTEREST AND FEES

2.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. All outstanding UK Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the UK Base Rate or the UK LIBOR Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin plus the Mandatory Cost, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time UK Revolving Loans are outstanding with respect to which the UK Borrower Representative has not delivered to the UK Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those UK Revolving Loans shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the UK Base Rate, as applicable, until notice to the contrary has been given to the UK Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding UK Obligations shall bear interest as follows:

For all UK Revolving Loans:

(A) for all UK Base Rate Revolving Loans and other UK Obligations of the UK Obligors (other than UK LIBOR Revolving Loans) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the UK Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin specified for UK Base Rate Revolving Loans plus the Mandatory Cost; and

(B) For all UK LIBOR Revolving Loans at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the UK LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin specified for UK LIBOR Revolving Loans plus the Mandatory Cost.

Each change in the UK Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to UK Revolving Loans, as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges on UK Base Rate Revolving Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). All interest charges on UK LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed. The UK Borrowers shall pay to the UK Agent, for the ratable benefit of Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants), interest accrued on all UK Base Rate Revolving Loans in arrears on the first day of each month hereafter and on the Termination Date, and the UK Borrowers shall pay to the UK Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) interest on all UK LIBOR Revolving Loans in arrears on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date.

EXECUTION COPY


	(b) Fronting Fee; Participation Fee. When and as the UK Fronting Lender collects interest on the UK Revolving Loans prior to the Put Date, the UK Fronting Lender shall retain for its account interest at the UK Base Rate or UK LIBOR Rate, as applicable, any Mandatory Costs incurred and an amount equal to the Fronting Fee and shall promptly thereafter distribute to each UK Revolver Participant its Pro Rata Share of the remaining Applicable Margin, as a participation fee (the “Participation Fee”). If the UK Borrowers pay less than all of the interest then due and owing by it for any period, that portion of the interest equal to the Participation Fee shall be deemed to be the last portion of interest paid or to be paid For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Put Date (assuming each UK Revolver Participant has purchased its requisite Pro Rata Share of the UK Revolving Loans from the UK Fronting Lender), interest shall be distributed by the UK Agent for the rateable benefit of the UK Lenders (directly).

	(c) Default Rate. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the UK Agent or the Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, then, while any such Event of Default is continuing, all of the UK Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto.

	2.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections.

	(a) Subject to Section 1.2(b)(2), the UK Borrower may:


	(i) elect, as of any UK Business Day, in the case of UK Base Rate Revolving Loans to convert any UK Base Rate Revolving Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than £500,000, or that is in an integral multiple of £250,000 in excess thereof) into UK LIBOR Revolving Loans; or

	(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any UK LIBOR Revolving Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than £500,000, or that is in an integral multiple of £250,000 in excess thereof);


	provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of UK LIBOR Revolving Loans in respect of any single Interest Period is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than £500,000, such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans shall automatically convert into UK Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one month.

	(b) The UK Borrower Representative shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) to the UK Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time), at least three (3) UK Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the UK Revolving Loans are to be converted into or continued as UK LIBOR Revolving Loans and specifying:


	(i) the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

EXECUTION COPY


	(ii) the aggregate amount of UK Revolving Loans to be converted or renewed;

	(iii) the type of UK Revolving Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

	(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period, provided, however, the UK Borrower Representative may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated Termination Date.


	(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to UK LIBOR Revolving Loans, the UK Borrower Representative has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the UK Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have elected to convert such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans into UK Base Rate Revolving Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

	(d) The UK, Agent will promptly notify each UK Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each UK Lender.

	(e) There may not be more than six (6) different Interest Periods for UK LIBOR Revolving Loans in effect hereunder at any time.

2.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any UK Lender under applicable law for such UK Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the UK Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the UK Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the UK Agent, for the account of the applicable UK Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the UK Agent and/or any UK Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers other than interest, in the inverse

EXECUTION COPY

order of maturity, and if there are no UK Obligations of the UK Borrowers outstanding, the UK Agent and/or such UK Lender shall refund to the UK Borrowers such excess.

2.4 UK Agent Fees. The UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay the UK Agent and the UK Security Trustee fees in the amount and at the times set forth in the confidential fee letter dated as of November 18, 2005, among the Administrative Agent, Banc of America Securities, LLC, Ravenstock and MSG (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letter”).

2.5 Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and on the Termination Date; (i) the UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the UK Agent, for the account of the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent of the Applicable Unused Line Fee Rate multiplied by the amount by which the UK Commitments exceed the average daily amount of UK Aggregate Outstandings and (ii) the US Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the US Revolver Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “US Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of (x) the Applicable Unused Line Fee Rate multiplied by the amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceeds the average daily amount of Aggregate Outstandings less (y) the amount of the UK Unused Line Fee payable for such period during the immediately preceding month or shorter period if calculated for the first month hereafter or on the Termination Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.6 Letter of Credit Fee. The UK Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the UK Agent, for the account of the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants), in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for each Letter of Credit issued under the UK Credit Agreement, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for UK LIBOR Revolving Loans and to the UK Agent for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit, and to the Letter of Credit Issuer, all customary out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, extension of, draws under or amendment to any Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.7 Distribution of Fees to UK Revolver Participants. When and as the UK Fronting Lender collects any Letter of Credit Fee or any Unused Line Fee prior to the Put Date, the UK Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute the same to each UK Revolver Participant in accordance with such UK Revolver Participant’s Pro Rata Share.

The UK Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the UK Revolving Loans made to such UK Borrowers, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The UK Borrowers may prepay the UK Revolving Loans made to such UK Borrowers at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the UK Borrowers may not terminate the Total UK Facility unless the US Borrowers also terminate the Total US Facility. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the UK Borrowers shall pay to the UK Agent, for the account of the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender (as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) the amount, without duplication, by which the UK Aggregate Outstandings exceed the lesser of the UK Borrowing Base or the Maximum UK Amount, and (b) the UK Borrowers shall pay to the UK Agent for the account of the UK Lenders the amount by which the Aggregate Outstandings exceeds the Maximum Consolidated Borrowing Base Amount unless such amount shall have otherwise been paid by the US Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the US Credit Agreement.

EXECUTION COPY


	received on the following UK, Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

	(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment is due on a day other than an UK Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following UK Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

3.6 Payments as UK Revolving Loans. At the election of the UK Agent, all payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit and Credit Support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses and other sums payable hereunder or under any UK Loan Document, may be paid from the proceeds of UK Revolving Loans made to the UK Borrowers hereunder. Each UK Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the UK Agent to charge the Loan Account of the UK Borrowers for the purpose of paying all amounts from time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute UK Base Rate Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) to the UK Borrowers.

3.7 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the applicable UK Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the UK Revolving Loans to which such payments relate held by each applicable UK Lender) and payment of fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the applicable UK Lenders, except for fees payable solely to any UK Agent, the UK Security Trustee and any Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) except as provided in Section 2.1 (b), and (d) amounts payable to the UK Agent in connection with the funding of the UK Revolving Loans in Pounds Sterling agreed from time to time by the UK Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the UK Borrowers, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following termination of this Agreement, neither the UK Agent nor any UK Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any UK LIBOR Revolving Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such

EXECUTION COPY

UK LIBOR Revolving Loan, or (b) in the case of UK LIBOR Revolving Loans only, in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding UK Base Rate Revolving Loans made to the UK Borrowers and, in any event, in each case the UK Borrowers shall pay LIBOR breakage losses in accordance with Section 4.4. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and, prior thereto in order to correct any error or otherwise with the consent of the Lenders required pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof, the UK Agent and the UK Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations of the UK Borrowers.

3.8 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the UK Obligations, any UK Agent, any UK Lender, Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank, is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the UK Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such UK Agent, such UK Lender, Bank or such Affiliate and the UK Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to pay to the UK Agents, the UK Lenders, Bank and such Affiliate, and hereby do jointly and severally indemnify the UK Agents, the UK Lenders, Bank and such Affiliate and hold the UK Agents, the UK Lenders, Bank and such Affiliate harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any UK Agent, any UK Lender, Bank or any such Affiliate in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the UK Agents’, the UK Lenders’, Bank’s and such Affiliate’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.9 UK Agent’s and UK Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements The UK Agent shall record the principal amount of the UK Revolving Loans owing to the UK Lenders, the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the UK Borrowers and the aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit for the account of the UK Borrowers from time to time on its books. In addition, each UK Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such UK Lender’s Revolving Loans in its books and records. Failure by the UK Agents or any UK Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the UK Borrowers with respect to the UK Revolving Loans or the Letters of Credit. The UK Borrowers agree that the UK Agents’ and each UK Lender’s books and records showing the UK Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether any UK Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The UK Agent will provide to the UK Borrowers a monthly statement of UK Revolving Loans, payments, and other transactions with respect to such UK Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on such UK Borrowers and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 3.7 hereof and corrections of errors

EXECUTION COPY

discovered by the UK Agent), unless the UK Borrower Representative notifies the UK Agent in writing to the contrary within 45 days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the UK Borrower Representative, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the UK Borrowers.

ARTICLE 4
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.1 Taxes.


	(a) Any and all payments by each UK Obligor to any Lender (including payments made indirectly to the UK Revolver Participants) or any Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition, each UK Obligor shall pay all Other Taxes with respect to the UK Obligations of such UK Obligor and the payments due under the execution, delivery, registration and performance of this Agreement, or otherwise and any other Loan Document.

	(b) Each UK Obligor shall indemnify the UK Agents and each UK Lender (including for the avoidance of doubt the UK Fronting Lender and the UK Revolver Participants) for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by any UK Agent or such UK Lender with respect to the UK Obligations of such UK Obligor and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Each UK Agent and each UK Lender seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) agrees to deliver to the UK Borrower Representative evidence of the Taxes or Other Taxes forming the basis for any such claim; provided that the prior delivery or sufficiency, in the judgment of the UK Borrower Representative, of such evidence shall in no way be a condition of the UK Obligors’ obligations to indemnify the UK Agents or UK Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). No UK Obligor shall be obligated to make a payment to a UK Agent or UK Lender pursuant to this clause in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such UK Agent or UK Lender. After a UK Agent or UK Lender receives notice of the imposition of the Taxes or Other Taxes that are subject to this Section, such UK Agent or UK Lender will act in good faith to promptly notify each UK Obligor of its obligations hereunder.

	(c) If any UK Obligor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any UK Lender or any UK Agent, then, without duplication:


	(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including

EXECUTION COPY


	deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such UK Lender or such UK Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

	(ii) such UK Obligor shall make such deductions and withholdings;

	(iii) such UK Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

	(iv) each UK Borrower shall also pay to each UK Lender or such UK Agent for the account of such UK Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which the respective UK Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such UK Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.


	(d) At any UK Agent’s request, within 30 days after the date of any payment by any UK Obligor of Taxes or Other Taxes, the UK Borrower shall furnish such UK Agent, if available, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such UK Agent.

	(e) If any UK Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any UK Lender pursuant to this Section, then such UK Lender shall, upon the request and at the expense of the UK Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Obligor which may thereafter accrue, if such change, in the sole judgment of such UK Lender, (i) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such UK Lender and (ii) would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such additional amounts.

	4.2 Illegality.

	(a) If any UK Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or change in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any UK Lender or its applicable lending office to make or participate in UK LIBOR Revolving Loans, then, on notice thereof by that UK Lender to the UK Borrower Representative through the UK Agent, any obligation of that UK Lender to make or participate in UK LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be suspended until that UK Lender notifies the UK Agent and the UK Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

	(b) If any UK Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or change in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any UK Lender or

EXECUTION COPY


	its applicable lending office to maintain or participate in any UK LIBOR Revolving Loans, the UK Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice thereof by that UK Lender to the UK Borrower Representative through the UK Agent and demand from such UK Lender (with a copy to the UK Agent), prepay in full such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans of that UK Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 4.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that UK Lender may lawfully continue to maintain or participate in such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans to such day, or immediately, if that UK Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain or participate in such UK LIBOR Revolving Loans. If the UK Borrowers are required to so prepay any UK LIBOR Revolving Loans, then concurrently with such prepayment, the UK Borrowers shall borrow from the affected UK Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a UK Base Rate Revolving Loan. Each UK Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office if such designation will, in the sole judgment of such UK Lender, avoid the need for such notice and will not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

	(c) Should any UK Lender’s UK LIBOR Revolving Loans be suspended under the provisions of Section 4.2, then without limiting its obligations to reimburse any Lender for compensation claimed pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Applicable UK Borrowers may, within 60 days following such occurrence, treat that UK Lender as an “Affected Lender” under Section 4.6 and exercise the applicable remedies set forth therein, subject to the conditions and limitation set forth therein.

	4.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

	(a) If any UK Lender determines that due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that UK Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such UK Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining or participating in any UK LIBOR Revolving Loans, without duplication, then the UK Borrowers shall jointly and severally be liable for, and shall from time to time, within two UK Business Days of demand by such UK Lender (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the UK Agent), pay to the UK Agent for the account of such UK Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such UK Lender for such increased costs.

	(b) If any UK Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such UK Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such UK Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects the amount of capital required to be maintained by such UK Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such UK Lender and (taking into consideration such UK Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such UK Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of

EXECUTION COPY


	such capital is increased as a consequence of its UK Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such UK Lender to the UK Borrower Representative in respect of which such UK Lender has a UK Commitment through the UK Agent, the UK Borrowers shall pay to such UK Lender, from time to time as specified by such UK Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such UK Lender for such increase.

	(c) If any UK Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to any UK Lender pursuant to this Section, then such UK Lender shall, upon the request and at the expense of the UK Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such UK Obligor which may thereafter accrue, if such change, in the sole judgment of such UK Lender, (i) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such UK Lender and (ii) would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such additional amounts.

4.4 Funding Losses. Each UK Borrower shall reimburse each UK Lender and hold each UK Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such UK Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

	(a) the failure of such UK Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any UK LIBOR Revolving Loan;

	(b) the failure of such UK Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such UK Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

	(c) the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of any UK LIBOR Revolving Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its UK LIBOR Revolving Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Each UK Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by any UK Lender in connection with the foregoing.

4.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the UK Agent determines that for any reason (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the UK LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed UK Revolver LIBOR Loan or (b) that the UK LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed UK LIBOR Revolving Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the applicable UK Lenders of funding such UK LIBOR Revolving Loan, the UK Agent will promptly so notify such UK Borrower Representative and each such UK Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the UK Lenders to make or maintain UK LIBOR Revolving Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, in the case of UK Revolving Loans, (I) UK Borrower Representative may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or

EXECUTION COPY


Notice of Continuation/Conversion in respect of UK Revolving Loans then submitted by it without cost or expense to any UK Borrower and (II) if the UK Borrower Representative does not revoke such Notice, the Funding UK Lenders and the UK Fronting Lender shall make, convert or continue the UK Revolving Loans, as proposed by the UK Borrower Representative, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the UK Borrower Representative, but such UK Revolving Loans shall be made, converted or continued as UK Base Rate Revolving Loans instead of UK LIBOR Revolving Loans.

	(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall submit to the Administrative Agent, the UK Agent and the Lenders annually, commencing on the first Anniversary Date, and on each Anniversary Date thereafter, an update of the status of each Material Compliance Issue. The Administrative Agent, the UK Agent or any Lender may request copies of technical reports prepared by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and such Person’s communications with any Governmental Authority to determine whether such Person or any of its Subsidiaries is proceeding reasonably to correct, cure or contest in good faith any such Material Compliance Issue. The Borrowers shall, at the Administrative Agent’s, the UK Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ request and at the Borrowers’ expense, (i) retain an independent environmental engineer acceptable to the Administrative Agent or the UK Agent, as applicable, to evaluate the site, including tests if appropriate, where the Material Compliance Issue has occurred and prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent or UK Agent, as applicable, in sufficient quantity for distribution by the Applicable Agent to the Lenders, a report setting forth the results of such evaluation, a proposed plan for responding to any environmental problems described therein, and an estimate of the costs

	(c) Subject in each case to (i) the rights and the restrictions set forth in Section 7.4 hereof and (ii) the access and entry rights each Credit Party is entitled to grant, each Agent and its representatives will have the right to enter and visit the Real Estate and any other place where any property of any Credit Party is located for the purposes of observing the Real Estate, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Real Estate; provided, however, to the extent the applicable Credit Party does not have sufficient rights in any such Real Estate or other place where any of its property is located to provide each Agent and its representatives the access, observation and removal rights described in this sentence, such Credit Party will use its reasonable efforts to obtain such rights for itself and each Agent and its representatives within sixty (60) days of a request by the Agents for such access, observation and removal rights for such Real Estate; provided, further, if (A) the applicable Credit Party is unable to obtain such access, observation and removal rights within such sixty (60) day period and (B) the Agents have a good faith reason to believe that a Material Compliance Issue exists with respect to such Real Estate, then the applicable Credit Party shall have the option to either (x) vacate such Real Estate within ninety (90) days of a written request by the Agents to such effect or (y) exclude any Inventory located on such Real Estate from the calculation of Eligible Inventory. No Agent is under any duty, however, to visit or observe the Real Estate or to conduct tests, and any such acts by any Agent will be solely for the purposes of protecting the Agents’ Liens and preserving the Agents’ and the Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents. No site visit, observation or testing by any Agent will result in a waiver of any default of the Borrowers or impose any liability on such Agent or the Lenders. In no event will any site visit, observation or testing by any Agent be a representation by any Credit Party that hazardous substances are or are not present in, on or under the Real Estate, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law. No Credit Party nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Agent. No Agent and no Lender owes any duty of care to protect any Credit Party or any other party against, or to inform any Credit Party or any other party of, any hazardous substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Real Estate. Each Agent shall disclose to a Credit Party or to any other party if so required by law any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or testing by any Agent. Each Credit Party understands and agrees that no Agent makes any warranty or representation to any Credit Party or any other party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any such report or findings that may be disclosed. Each Credit Party also understands that depending on the results of any site visit, observation or testing by any Agent and disclosed to a Credit Party, such Credit Party may have a legal obligation to notify one or more environmental agencies of the results, that such reporting requirements are site-specific, and are to be evaluated by such Credit Party without advice or assistance from such Agent. In each instance, each Agent will give the relevant Borrower reasonable notice before entering the Real Estate or any other place such Agent is permitted to enter under this Section 7.7(c). Each Agent will make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering

EXECUTION COPY


	with a Credit Party’s use of the Real Estate or any other property in exercising any rights provided hereunder.

	(d) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the UK Borrowers shall as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, retain an independent environmental engineer acceptable to the UK Agent to evaluate the UK Properties at (i) Horsefair Road Waterton Industrial Estate Bridgend (ii) Area 3 Wharf Road Gravesend and (iii) Stanton Works Lows Lane Stanton-By-Dale Derbyshire and prepare and deliver (within 180 days of the date hereof) to the UK Agent a Phase I environmental report the scope of which shall be agreed in advance by the UK Agent and which shall be addressed to the UK Agent and the UK Borrowers.

Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the UK Borrowers agree that any notice by the UK Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by applicable laws or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the US Borrowers if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least five UK Business Days prior to such action to the UK Borrowers’ address specified in or pursuant to Section 13.8 of the UK Credit Agreement. If any UK Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no

EXECUTION COPY


	credit shall be given against the UK Obligations until the UK Agent or the UK Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the UK Agent may resell the UK Collateral without further notice to the Borrowers. In the event the UK Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the UK Collateral by judicial process, the UK Borrowers irrevocably waive: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the UK Security Trustee retain possession and not dispose of any UK Collateral until after trial or final judgment.

ARTICLE 12
THE UK AGENT; UK SECURITY TRUSTEE; UK AGENTS; UK FRONTING LENDER

12.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each UK Lender hereby redesignates and reappoints Bank as its Administrative Agent, UK Agent and UK Security Trustee under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each UK Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the UK Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each

EXECUTION COPY

other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The UK Agents agree to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 12. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the UK Agents and the UK Lenders and the Credit Parties shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the UK Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the UK Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any UK Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the UK Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to any UK Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each UK Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which an Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the UK Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 1.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 92, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement constitutes the UK Funding Lender as agent, fiduciary or trustee for the UK Revolver Participants.

12.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No UK Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Liability of Agent. (a) None of the Agent-Related Persons shall with respect to any of the Lenders and (b) the UK Fronting Lender shall not (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any UK Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any UK Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any UK Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any UK Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any UK Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained

EXECUTION COPY

in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of such UK Borrower or any of the UK Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

12.4 Reliance by Each Agent. Each UK Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, or telex, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such UK Agent. Each UK Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each UK Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the UK Lenders.

12.5 Notice of Default. No UK Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless such UK Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the UK Borrower Representative referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Each UK Agent will notify the UK Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Each UK Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required UK Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until such UK Agent has received any such request, such UK Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

12.6 Credit Decision. Each UK Lender acknowledges (including each UK Revolver Participant) that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made arty representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any UK Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the UK Borrowers and their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any UK Lender. Each UK Lender (including each UK Revolver Participant) represents to each UK Agent (and each UK Revolver Participant represents to the UK Fronting Lender) that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or the UK Fronting Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the UK Borrowers and their Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the UK Borrowers. Each UK Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person (or the UK Fronting Lender) and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform

EXECUTION COPY

itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the UK Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the UK Lenders by a UK Agent, such UK Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any UK Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries which may be or come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (a) the UK Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons and (b) the UK Revolver Participants shall indemnify on demand the UK Fronting Lender, (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the UK Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.11 and any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) related to or resulting from any claim or the assertion of any defense based on equitable subordination; provided, however, that no (i) UK Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons or (ii) UK Revolver Participant shall be liable for the payment to the UK Fronting Lender of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each UK Lender shall reimburse each UK Agent and each UK Revolver Participant shall reimburse the UK Fronting Lender upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such UK Agent or the UK Fronting Lender (as applicable) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent such the UK Agent or UK Fronting Lender (as applicable) is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the UK Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of any UK Agent or UK Fronting Lender.

12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not a UK Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the UK Lenders. The Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrowers, their Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrowers or their Affiliates) and acknowledge that each UK Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its UK Revolving Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Bank in its individual capacity.

12.9 Successor Agent. Each UK Agent may resign as UK Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Applicable Borrower Representative, such

EXECUTION COPY

resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as the appropriate Agent; provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default, the UK Agent shall not resign unless the Bank shall also resign as Administrative Agent under the US Credit Agreement. In the event the Bank sells all of its Aggregate Commitment and Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan portfolio containing this Agreement, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Administrative Agent, UK Agent or UK Security Trustee, as applicable, in each respective capacity, hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if any UK Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the UK Lenders a successor agent in such capacity for the UK Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of an UK Agent, such UK Agent may appoint, after consulting with the UK Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent in such capacity from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the relevant retiring Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”, “UK Agent” or “UK Security Trustee”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent and the retiring UK Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as such a UK Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring UK Agent’s resignation hereunder as a UK Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was UK Agent under this Agreement.

disposition is made in compliance with Section 7.9 (and the UK Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Except as provided above, the UK Agent will not release any of the Subsidiary Guaranties granted by any Subsidiary Guarantor without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the UK Agent may, in its discretion, release the Subsidiary Guaranties of any Subsidiary Guarantor if such Subsidiary Guarantor shall own assets with a fair market value of less than $100,000. Upon request by the UK Agent or the UK Borrower Representative at any time, the UK Lenders will confirm in writing the UK Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guaranties pursuant to this Section12.10.

12.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.


	(a) Each of the UK Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of all UK Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all UK Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such UK Lender to any UK Credit Party or any accounts of a Credit Party now or hereafter maintained with such UK Lender. Each of the UK Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the UK Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against a UK Credit Party, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the UK Collateral.

	(b) If at any time or times any UK Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of UK Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of any UK Obligor to such UK Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such UK Lender from the Applicable Security Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Applicable Security Agent in excess of such UK Lender’s ratable portion of all or such portion of any distributions due such UK Lender upon application of the order of payments set forth under Section 3.7 hereof by the Applicable Security Agent, such UK Lender shall promptly turn the same over to the Applicable Security Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Applicable Security Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the UK Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

12.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other UK Lender, the UK Agent and the Applicable Security Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any UK Lender (other than the UK Security Trustee) obtain possession of any such UK Collateral, such UK Lender shall notify the UK Security Trustee thereof, and, promptly upon the UK Security Trustee’s request therefor shall deliver such UK Collateral to the UK Security Trustee or in accordance with the UK Security Trustee’s instructions.

12.14 Payments by Responsible Agent to Applicable Lenders. All payments to be made by any UK Agent to the UK Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal

EXECUTION COPY

transfer of immediately available funds to each UK Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the UK Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such UK Lender is an Transferee, on the applicable UK Transfer Agreement), or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the UK Agent. Payments shall be made in Sterling. Concurrently with each such payment, the UK Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the UK Revolving Loans, or otherwise. Unless the UK Agent receives notice from the UK Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the UK Lenders that the UK Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, the UK Agent may assume that the UK Borrowers have made such payment in full to the UK Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the UK Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each UK Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such UK Lender. If and to the extent the UK Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the UK Agent, each UK Lender shall repay to the UK Agent on demand such amount distributed to such UK Lender, together with interest thereon at the Bank of America Reference Rate, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such UK Lender until the date repaid.

12.15 Settlement.

(a) (i) Each UK Lender’s (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) funded portion of the UK Revolving Loans is intended by the UK Lenders (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) to be equal at all times to such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding UK Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, each UK Agent, the Bank, and the other UK Lenders (including the UK Fronting Lender and each UK Revolver Participant) agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the UK Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the UK Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(ii) The UK Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the UK Lenders (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at UK Agent’s election, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan made under this Agreement, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance made under this Agreement, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the UK Lenders (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) of such requested Settlement in writing by telecopy or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) (other than the Bank, in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the UK Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the UK Agent, to UK Agent’s account in Pounds Sterling not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the UK Business Day following the Settlement Date

EXECUTION COPY

applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the UK Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute UK Revolving Loans of such UK Lenders (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants). If any such amount is not transferred to the UK Agent by any UK Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the UK Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) together with interest thereon at the Bank of America Reference Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the UK Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) UK Business Day after demand is made by the UK Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the UK Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Bank or the UK Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by the Bank or the UK Agent, as applicable, shall pay to the Bank or the UK Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%), in Pounds Sterling of such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share (and in the case of the UK Fronting Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the UK Revolver Participants’ Pro Rata Share) of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the UK Agent by any UK Lender, the UK Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such UK Lender together with interest thereon at the Bank of America Reference Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans.

(iv) From and after the date, if any, on which any UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (iii) above, the UK Agent shall promptly distribute to such UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants), such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share (and in the case of the UK Fronting Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the UK Revolver Participants’ Pro Rata Share) of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of UK Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance

(v) Between Settlement Dates, the UK Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received by the UK

EXECUTION COPY

Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the UK Revolving Loans, for application to the Bank’s UK Revolving Loans to the UK Borrowers including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank’s UK Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to clause (iii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to the UK Agent for the accounts of the UK Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans to the UK Borrowers of such UK Lenders, an amount such that each UK Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the UK Revolving Loans to the UK Borrowers. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the UK Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each UK Lender with respect to the UK Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the UK Agent and the other UK Lenders.

(vi) Unless the UK Agent has received written notice from a UK Lender to the contrary, the UK Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied and following the requested UK Borrowing, UK Aggregate Outstandings will not exceed UK Availability (with UK Availability for such purpose calculated as if UK Aggregate Outstandings, and UK Aggregate Outstandings were equal to zero) and Aggregate Outstandings will not exceed Total Excess Availability (with Total Excess Availability for this purpose calculated as if Aggregate Outstandings, US Aggregate Outstandings, and UK Aggregate Outstandings were equal to zero) on any Funding Date for a UK Revolving Loan or Non-Ratable Loan.


	(b) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All UK Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the UK Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no UK Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other UK Lender to perform its obligation to make any UK Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any UK Commitment of any UK Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other UK Lender to perform its obligation to make any UK Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any UK Lender to perform its obligation to make any UK Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any UK Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each UK Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

	(c) Defaulting Lenders. Unless the UK Agent receives notice from an UK Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any UK Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one UK Business Day prior to the date of such UK Borrowing, that such UK Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the UK Agent that UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a UK Borrowing, the UK Agent may assume that each UK Lender has made such amount available to the UK Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the UK Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the UK Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If any UK Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share of a UK Borrowing

EXECUTION COPY


	to the UK Agent in immediately available funds and the UK Agent has transferred a corresponding amount to the UK Borrowers on the Business Day following such Funding Date that UK Lender shall make such amount available to the UK Agent, together with interest at the Bank of America Reference Rate. A notice by the UK Agent submitted to any UK Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If each UK Lender’s full Pro Rata Share of a UK Borrowing is transferred to the UK Agent as required, the amount transferred to the UK Agent shall constitute that UK Lender’s UK Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the UK Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the UK Agent will notify the UK Borrower Representative of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the UK Agent, the UK Borrowers shall pay such amount to the UK Agent for the UK Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such UK Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the UK Revolving Loans comprising that particular UK Borrowing. The failure of any UK Lender to make any UK Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”) shall not relieve any other UK Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a UK Revolving Loan on that Funding Date, No UK Lender shall be responsible for any other UK Lender’s failure to advance such other UK Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of any UK Borrowing.

	(d) Retention of Defaulting Lender’s Payments. The UK Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by a UK Borrower to the UK Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the UK Agent. In its discretion, the Agent may loan the UK Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so loaned to the UK Borrowers shall bear interest at the rate applicable to UK Base Rate Revolving Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were UK Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the UK Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested UK Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing UK Lenders ratably based upon their relative UK Commitments, This Section shall remain effective with respect to such UK Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the UK Commitment of any UK Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by the UK Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder.

	(e) Removal of Defaulting Lender. At the UK Borrower Representative’s request, the UK Agent or an Eligible Transferee reasonably acceptable to the UK Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any

EXECUTION COPY


	Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the UK Agent or such Eligible Transferee, all of the Defaulting Lender’s outstanding UK Commitments and Loans hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated promptly after UK Agent has arranged for a purchase by UK Agent or an Eligible Transferee pursuant to a UK Transfer Agreement, and at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Defaulting Lender’s UK Revolving Loans, plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or discount.

	12.16 Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues, Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the UK Agent shall notify each UK Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement Date.

	(b) Participations in Letters of Credit.

(i) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.4(d), each UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit or the Credit Support provided through the UK Agent to the Letter of Credit Issuer, if not the Bank, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the UK Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto).

(ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the UK Agent receives a payment from a UK Borrower on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit or Credit Support as to which the UK Agent has previously received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a UK Lender, the UK Agent shall promptly pay to such UK Lender such UK Lender’s Pro Rata Share (and in the case of the UK Fronting Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the UK Revolver Participants’ Pro Rata Share) of such payment from the UK Borrowers. Each such payment shall be made by the UK Agent on the next Settlement Date.

(iii) Documentation. Upon the request of any UK Lender, the UK Agent shall furnish to such UK Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, Credit Support for any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

(iv) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each UK Lender (including, the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) to make payments to the UK Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their participation therein or with respect to any Credit Support for any Letter of Credit or with respect to the UK Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the UK Borrowers for whose account the Letter of Credit or Credit Support was issued to make payments to the UK Agent, for the account of the UK Lenders, shall be

EXECUTION COPY

irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(2) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any UK Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any UK Lender, the UK Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the UK Borrowers or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

(3) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(4) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(5) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(6) the failure of the UK Borrowers to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article 8.

(c) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of any UK Borrower received by the UK Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or Credit Support provided for any Letter of Credit and distributed by the UK Agent to the UK Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the UK Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the UK Lenders shall, upon demand by the UK Agent, pay to the UK Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the UK Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the UK Agent receives notice from the UK Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the UK Lenders that the UK Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, the UK Agent may assume that the UK Borrower has made such payment in full to the UK Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the UK Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each UK Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such UK Lender. If and to the extent the UK Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Responsible Agent, each UK Lender (including the UK Fronting Lender as fronting lender for the UK Revolver Participants) shall repay to the UK Agent on demand such amount distributed to such UK Lender, together with interest thereon at the Bank of America Reference Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such UK Lender until the date repaid.

EXECUTION COPY

(d) Indemnification by UK Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the UK Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of any UK Borrower hereunder, the UK Lenders agree to indemnify each applicable Letter of Credit Issuer ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided that no UK Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each UK Lender agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by the UK Borrowers to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the UK Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations.

12.17 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. The UK Agent and each UK Lender authorizes and directs the UK Security Trustee to enter into the other UK Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the UK Agents and the UK Lenders.

This indemnity will survive repayment of all other Obligations.

	(c) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall require the UK Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to take any action which constitutes or will constitute unlawful financial assistance for the purposes of sections 151 to 158 (inclusive) of the Companies Act.

		(iii) Other competent jurisdictions.

13.15 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the US Credit Agreement and the US Loan Documents are intended by the UK Borrowers, the UK Agents, and the UK Lenders to be the final, complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them.

No modification, rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, except by a written agreement signed by the UK Borrowers and a duly authorized officer of each of the UK Agents and the Required Lenders (or where required hereunder, all Lenders).

13.17 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

13.18 Right of Setoff.

106

EXECUTION COPY

and all Obligations owing to such UK Lender by a UK Borrower, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the UK Agent or such UK Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each UK Lender agrees promptly to notify the UK Borrowers and the UK Agent after any such set-off and application made by such UK Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no UK Lender shall exercise any right of set-off, banker’s lien, or the like against any deposit account or property of any UK Borrower held or maintained by such UK Lender without the prior written unanimous consent of the UK Lenders.

13.19 Confidentiality.


	(a) The UK Borrowers hereby consent that each UK Agent and each UK Lender may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of the UK Borrowers and a general description of the UK Borrowers’ businesses and may use the UK Borrowers’ name in advertising and other promotional material.

	(b) Each UK Agent and each UK Lender severally agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as “confidential” or “secret” by the UK Borrowers and provided to such UK Agent or UK Lender by or on behalf of the UK Borrowers, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such UK Agent or UK Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the UK Borrowers, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the UK Borrowers known to such UK Agent or UK Lender; provided, however, that any UK Agent and any UK Lender may disclose such information (1) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such UK Agent or UK Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such UK Agent or UK Lender by any such Governmental Authority; (2) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (3) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (4) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy proceeding) to which any UK Agent, any UK Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (5) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (6) to such UK Agent’s or such UK Lender’s independent auditors, accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; (7) to any prospective Participant or Transferee in connection with the syndication of the Loans and the Aggregate Commitments under any UK Transfer Agreement, actual or potential, provided that such prospective Participant or Transferee agrees to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of any UK Agent and the UK Lenders hereunder; (8) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which any UK Borrower is party with such UK Agent or such UK Lender, and (9) to its Affiliates, provided that any UK Lender agrees to cause its Affiliate to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of any UK Agent or UK Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding anything

107

EXECUTION COPY

herein to the contrary, the information subject to this subsection (b) shall not include, and each UK Agent and each UK Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such UK Agent or such UK Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.

13.20 Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

13.21 Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the Spot Rate at which the UK Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency prevailing on the Applicable Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In the event that there is a change in the rate of Exchange Rate prevailing between the Applicable Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the UK Agent of the amount due, the UK Borrowers will, on the date of receipt by the UK Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the UK Agent and the UK Lenders on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the UK Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other of the Loan Documents in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the UK Agent is able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the UK Borrowers shall indemnify and save the UK Agent and the UK Lenders harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. The indemnity contained herein shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the UK Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or under any judgment or order.

13.22 Reinstatement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this UK Credit Agreement, and the UK Obligations, shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by any Agent or Lender in respect of the UK

108

Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any such Person upon the insolvency, administration, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of UK Borrower or any other Person or upon the appointment of any receiver, intervenor, conservator, trustee or similar official for the UK Borrower or any other Person or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
