  (ii)   the offer and acceptance of a Conversion Offer shall be deemed by the Parties as an offer and acceptance to enter into a new Loan in the form of a Converted Loan for the amount of the principal amount outstanding under the Acquisition Loan (from which the Converted Loan is being Converted from) and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and deemed to have been advanced as a Converted Loan For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and Lenders of a Converted Loan need not be the same Borrowers and Lenders of the Acquisition Loan (from which the Converted Loan is being Converted from);
 
  (iii)   the Borrower of the Acquisition Loan or the Borrower of the Converted Loan shall make a payment to the Lender on the Conversion Date:
  (A)   such that the Converted Loan’s Loan to Value percentage as of the Conversion Date complies with Clause 2.1(c) (Facility); and
 
  (B)   all amounts of interest accrued but unpaid and any other sums (other than in respect of principal) which fall due on the relevant Conversion Date in accordance with the terms of the relevant Acquisition Loan unless the relevant Conversion Date is not an Interest Payment Date in respect of the Term Loans, in which event any accrued but unpaid interest shall not fall due for payment on such Conversion Date but shall continue to accrue at the rate applicable for the Converted Loan and shall be due and payable on the first Interest Payment Date for such Converted Loan;
  (iv)   on the relevant Conversion Date subject to Clause 8.1(a)(v), no Break Costs or any prepayment fee in accordance with Clause 11.4 (Voluntary Prepayment) shall be payable by the Borrowers;
 
  (v)   if the relevant Borrower(s) and Lender(s) elect for a Conversion Date to be a day other than an Interest Payment Date of the relevant Acquisition Loan that is to be converted, Break Costs shall be payable by the Borrower of the Acquisition Loan (or by the Borrower of the Converted Loan, as the case may be) in accordance with Clause 11.4 (Voluntary Prepayment). For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 18 (Mitigation) shall apply; and
 
  (vi)   the Borrower of the Converted Loan will grant security to the Lender of the Converted Loan, subject to and in accordance with, Clauses 29.7 (ShareCo as a Term Borrower) or 29.8 (PropCo as a Term Borrower) (as the case may be).

Page 36


 

(b)   The first Interest Payment Date of the Converted Loan shall fall on the next Interest Payment Date following its Conversion to a Term Loan.
(c)   The term of a Converted Loan shall commence on (and include) its Conversion Date.
(d)   In respect of each Acquisition Loan for which a Conversion Offer is made, the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), prior to the date of the Conversion Offer for each Acquisition Loan, shall ascertain whether any additional term, document or formality not specifically contemplated in this Agreement is necessary to perfect the Conversion and Security Interests over the relevant Property and/or Shares, as applicable, as contemplated by this Agreement, of each Converted Loan. Such information pertaining to any additional term, document or formality shall be communicated to the relevant Borrower and the AMB Agent as soon as possible and shall be included in the Conversion Offer. The AMB Agent and the relevant Borrower(s) shall accept any such determination if it accepts the Conversion Offer (as such determination may be modified by agreement between the Facility Agent and the AMB Agent) and shall be responsible for the completion (or procuring the completion) of such document or formality. The Lenders shall use their reasonable endeavours to assist the AMB Agent and the relevant Borrower with their respective obligations under this Clause 8.1(d).
(e)   The AMB Agent shall, on demand, reimburse the Facility Agent for all reasonable costs incurred by the Lenders in connection with a Conversion. The Facility Agent will notify the AMB Agent, in writing, of such costs and provide evidence of the relevant amounts (in reasonable detail) with its demand.
9. CALCULATION OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE FACILITIES
(a)   The aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Loans, whether an Acquisition Loan, a New Term Loan or a Converted Loan and after deducting any repayments of any Loan, shall at any time be deemed to be the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Facilities.
(b)   In calculating the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Acquisition Facility:
  (i)   any repayments in respect of any Acquisition Loans shall reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Acquisition Facility and shall increase the funds available for a Request of a new Acquisition Loan and available for utilisation as a Term Loan; and
 
  (ii)   any Acquisition Loan that is Converted to a Converted Loan shall reduce the aggregate amount outstanding of the Acquisition Facility and shall increase the funds available for a Request of a new Acquisition Loan but shall not reduce the aggregate total amount outstanding of the Facilities.
(c)   To calculate the aggregate amount available under the Term Facility, the aggregate principal amount outstanding from time to time under the Acquisition Facility and the outstanding AMB Existing Loans shall be deducted from the Total Commitments. It is acknowledged that the intention of the AMB Agent is to procure that the loans advanced under the AMB Capronilaan Loan Agreement and the AMB Koolhovenlaan Loan Agreement will be refinanced by utilisations of New Term Loans, to be made shortly after the date of this Agreement, rather than be amended by Amending AMB Existing Loan Agreements.

  (ii)   the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled.
11.3 Mandatory Prepayment following the occurrence of certain Trigger Events

  (i)   the Acquisition Margin;
 
  (ii)   EURIBOR as calculated at or about 11.00 a.m. (Central European Time) on the Rate Fixing Day; and
 
  (iii)   Mandatory Costs (if any).
(b)   The rate of interest to be applied to each Term Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:
  (i)   the Term Margin;
 
  (ii)   EURIBOR as calculated at or about 11.00 a.m. (Central European Time) on the Rate Fixing Day; and
 
  (iii)   Mandatory Costs (if any).
12.2 Payment of interest
Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on each of the Interest Payment Dates applicable to that Loan.
12.3 Hedging
(a)   In relation to the Acquisition Facility, upon receipt of written notice from the Facility Agent which may be delivered at any time after the Logistics Fund Accession Date and after (and for so long as) 3 month EURIBOR is more than 100 basis points above the rate of 3 month EURIBOR as at the date of this Agreement (or, in the event that the Acquisition Final Maturity Date is extended, the rate of 3 month EURIBOR as at the date of the most recent extended Acquisition Final Maturity Date), the Fund Party or any other relevant Acquisition Borrower in relation to any Loan advanced to it, shall enter into, at its own cost, such Hedging Arrangements in relation to the Acquisition Facility as the Facility Agent may reasonably instruct within 30 days of receipt of such written notice (subject to these

Page 42


 

    requirements not being any more onerous to the relevant Acquisition Borrowers than the equivalent hedging requirements applicable to Term Loans).
 
(b)   In relation to the Term Facility, from and including the Logistics Fund Accession Date (or, if earlier, 30 June 2007) the Fund Party shall, on receipt of written notice from the Facility Agent, maintain the following Hedging Arrangements (at their cost) in relation to the Term Facility (unless alternative arrangements are agreed between the Facility Agent and the AMB Agent):
  (i)   subject to Clause 12.3(b)(ii), the arrangements shall be provided by a counterparty (the Counterparty) acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) which could be ING Bank Financial Markets or its affiliates;
 
  (ii)   if it is the intention of the Fund Party to have the arrangements provided by a Counterparty other than ING Bank Financial Markets or its Affiliates (the Proposed Counterparty), the Fund Party shall, prior to any binding commitment to the Proposed Counterparty, notify the Facility Agent of this intention in writing and shall give ING Bank Financial Markets the last opportunity to match the pricing, terms and conditions of the Proposed Counterparty in relation to the relevant Hedging Arrangement. If ING Bank Financial Markets or its Affiliates agree to match pricing, terms and conditions of the Proposed Counterparty, the Fund Party shall be obliged to appoint ING Bank Financial Markets or its Affiliates as the Counterparty to the relevant Hedging Arrangements;
 
  (iii)   if ING Bank Financial Markets or its Affiliates are not ultimately appointed as the Counterparty, the Fund Party shall ensure that the terms and conditions of such Hedging Arrangements entered into with the Counterparty are consistent with the terms and conditions of the Finance Documents including, but not limited to, this Clause 12.3 (Hedging) and that the relevant Counterparty enter into appropriate intercreditor arrangements (as a tripartite agreement with the relevant Finance Parties and relevant Obligors) with the Lenders as may be reasonably determined by the Facility Agent. The Finance Parties shall act reasonably in co-operating with the Obligors and the relevant Counterparty (including as to the terms of any intercreditor documentation) so that the Hedging Arrangements can be put in place with such Counterparty that is not ING Bank Financial Markets (or one of its Affiliates);
 
  (iv)   except as otherwise agreed between the Facility Agent and the Fund Party, the arrangements shall have a minimum term of five years or, if earlier, a term which expires on the Term Final Maturity Date;
 
  (v)   the arrangements shall be unsecured;
 
  (vi)   the Fund Party’s obligations under the Hedging Arrangements shall be guaranteed by each Term Borrower but each such guarantee shall be proportionate to the notional amount of the Hedging Arrangements attributable to the aggregate amount outstanding under the Loan of that Term Borrower and otherwise on terms to be agreed;
 
  (vii)   the arrangements shall have a minimum aggregate notional principal amount equal to 50 per cent. of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans; and

Page 43


 

  (viii)   the arrangements shall have settlement dates that coincide with the Interest Payment Dates.
(c)   As at the Logistics Fund Accession Date, each Hedging Agreement to which the Original AMB Party is a party shall be transferred to the Logistics Fund and on terms that provide for there to be no affected parties thereunder and no termination costs arising as a result of any such transfer.
(d)   The terms of any Hedging Arrangements entered into between the AMB Agent and the Proposed Counterparty shall be discussed in good faith between the AMB Agent and the Facility Agent and entered into on terms satisfactory to them (acting reasonably).
(e)   The liability of any Term Borrower or Acquisition Borrower (as the case may be) to any Counterparty under any Hedging Arrangement shall rank at least pari passu with all its other present and future unsecured payment obligations (except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally), subject to and in accordance with Clause 26.3 (Pari passu ranking).
(f)   If, at any time, the notional principal amount of any Hedging Arrangement exceeds the aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding at that time, the relevant Obligors who have entered into the Hedging Arrangements shall, at the request of the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), reduce the notional principal amount of the Hedging Arrangements by an amount, and in a manner, satisfactory to the Facility Agent so that it no longer exceeds the amount of the Loans then outstanding provided that the costs of effecting any such reduction are not commercially unreasonable. Any costs incurred in so doing shall be for the account of the relevant Obligors.
(g)   Unless otherwise agreed by the Facility Agent, neither a Counterparty nor the Fund Party nor any Borrower may terminate or close out any Hedging Arrangement (in whole or in part) except:
  (i)   a partial termination in accordance with Clause 12.3(f);
 
  (ii)   if it becomes illegal for that party to continue to comply with its obligations under that Hedging Arrangement;
 
  (iii)   if the Loans and other amounts outstanding under the Finance Documents have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full;
 
  (iv)   in the case of termination or closing out by the Counterparty, if the Facility Agent serves notice under Clause 28.19 (Trigger Events and Mandatory Prepayment) or, having served notice under Clause 28.21 (Notice of an Event of Default), makes demand; or
 
  (v)   in the case of termination or closing out by the Fund Party and/or any Borrower, with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).
(h)   A Hedging Arrangement relating to a Term Loan may be assigned or novated to a Term Borrower provided always that the Term Loan that it relates to is also held or assigned or novated to that Term Borrower and the assignment or novation, if required, is completed in accordance with Clause 36 (Changes to the Parties). Clause 30 (Substitution) shall apply.

Page 44


 

(i)   Other than pursuant to this Clause 12.3 (Hedging), no member of the Group shall enter into, or be party to, any Hedging Arrangement in relation to the Term Loans.
12.4 Interest on overdue amounts
(a)   If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it shall immediately on receipt of written demand from the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.
(b)   Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent. per annum above the higher of:
  (i)   the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably); and
  (ii)   the rate which expresses (as a percentage rate per annum) the cost to the Lenders of funding the overdue amount from whatever source it may reasonably select plus the relevant Margin, plus the Mandatory Cost (if any).
(c)   Any interest accruing under this Clause 12.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.
(d)   Notwithstanding Clause 12.4(b), if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Interest Period, then:
  (i)   the first Interest Period for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Interest Period; and
  (ii)   the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Interest Period will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan.
(e)   After the expiry of the first Interest Period for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with Clause 12.4(b).
(f)   Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period but will remain immediately due and payable.
(g)   Notwithstanding this Clause 12 (Interest), the amount of interest payable in respect of any Loans (including, without limitation, Italian Loans) shall be limited to the extent required under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

Page 45


 

12.5 Notification of rates of interest
The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.
13. INTEREST PERIODS
13.1 Interest Periods
(a)   Each Interest Period for a Loan will start on its Utilisation Date or on the expiry of its preceding Interest Period and end on the next Interest Payment Date.
(b)   An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Acquisition Loan Repayment Date (in the case of an Acquisition Loan) and the Term Final Maturity Date (in the case of a Term Loan) except in accordance with Clauses 5.4(d), 5.4(e), 5.4(f) (Conversion Offer) and Clause 8.1(a)(iii) (Converted Loans) or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.
(c)   Each Acquisition Loan shall have successive Interest Periods of one, two or three months as selected by the Borrower and specified in the related Request (or as otherwise agreed between the Facility Agent and the AMB Agent (or the relevant Borrower including, without limitation, so as to ensure that Interest Periods end not less than 5 Business Days after the end of each financial quarter)).
(d)   Each New Term Loan and each Converted Loan shall have an Interest Period of three months save as provided in Clause 8.1(a)(iii) (Converted Loans).
(e)   If the Utilisation Date of the Term Loan is not an Interest Payment Date, the first Interest Period of such Term Loan shall be a period of less than 3 months from the Utilisation Date to the next following Interest Payment Date.
14. MARKET DISRUPTION
14.1 Failure of a Reference Bank to supply a rate
If EURIBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Institutions but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 2.00 p.m. (Central European Time) on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable EURIBOR will, subject as provided below, be calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Institutions.
14.2 Market disruption
(a)   In this Clause, each of the following events is a market disruption event:
  (i)   if less than two Reference Institutions supply a rate by 2.00 p.m. (Central European Time) on the Rate Fixing Day; or
  (ii)   the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from the Majority Lenders (or the Lender in the case of a Loan advanced by a sole Lender) that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is in excess of EURIBOR for the relevant Interest Period.

Page 46


 

(b)   The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of a market disruption event.
(c)   After notification under Clause 14.2(b), the rate of interest on each Lender’s share in the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period will be aggregate of the applicable:
  (i)   Acquisition Margin or, as the case may be, Term Margin;
  (ii)   the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its share in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
  (iii)   any Mandatory Costs, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.
14.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding
(a)   If a market disruption event occurs and the Facility Agent or the AMB Agent so require, the AMB Agent and the Facility Agent shall enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding for the Loan.
(b)   Any alternative basis agreed will be, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the AMB Agent, binding on all the Parties.
15. TAXES
15.1 Tax gross-up
(a)   Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(b) If:
  (i)   a Lender is not, or ceases to be, a Qualifying Lender; or
  (ii)   an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor shall be required to make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction),
    it shall promptly notify the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall then promptly notify the affected Parties.
 
(c)   Except as provided below, if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
 
(d)   An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment under Clause 15.1(c) for a Tax Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender that is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that such Obligor would have had to pay had the Lender been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender.

Page 47


 

(e)   Clause 15.1(d) will not apply if the Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.
(f)   An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 15.1(c) for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by relevant tax authorities if, and to the extent that, that Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction would not have been required, or would have been reduced, if the Lender had complied with its obligations under Clause 15.1(i).
(g)   If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and shall make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law and in the amount required by law.
(h)   Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction or payment shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Party evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
(i)   A Treaty Lender and each Borrower which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate by using their respective reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities necessary for the Obligors to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.
(j)   Clause 15.1 (Tax gross-up) may be disapplied in respect of a Tax Payment by the operation of Clause 36.5 (Costs resulting from a change of Lender or Facility Office).
15.2 Tax indemnity
(a)   Except as provided below, each Obligor shall indemnify a Finance Party against any loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines that it has suffered or will suffer (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable from that Obligor under a Finance Document.
(b)   Clause 15.2(a) does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which:
  (i)   that Finance Party is treated as subject to unlimited tax liability;
 
  (ii)   that Finance Party’s Facility Office or permanent establishment to which amounts received or receivable are attributable, is located or that Finance Party is otherwise subject to non-resident tax liability in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction; or
 
  (iii)   under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Finance Party, by virtue of a Security Interest granted to it, is subject to non-resident taxation,
    if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including

Page 48


 

    any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose.
 
(c)   Clause 15.2(a) does not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
  (i)   is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.1 (Tax gross-up); or
 
  (ii)   would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.1 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 15.1(d) or Clause 15.1(f) applied.
(d)   Clause 15.2(a) may be disapplied in respect of a Tax Payment by the operation of Clause 36.5 (Costs resulting from a change of Lender or Facility Office).
(e)   A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under Clause 15.2(a) shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.
15.3 Tax Credit
If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party reasonably establishes that:
(a)   a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or to that Tax Payment; and
(b)   it has used and retained that Tax Credit,
the Finance Party shall pay an amount to that Obligor which that Finance Party reasonably establishes that such payment will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Obligor.
15.4 Miscellaneous taxes
(a)   Each Obligor shall pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that a Finance Party incurs in relation to stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for:
  (i)   any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a Transfer Certificate; and
 
  (ii)   to the extent that any such Tax is payable as a result of any securitisation or other similar transaction involving any part of the rights of any Lender under this Agreement.
15.5 Value added taxes
(a)   All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply.
(b)   If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the

Page 49


 

    consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly claim the full amount of any credit or repayment to which it is entitled in respect of such VAT and pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
 
(c)   Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Finance Party (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.
15.6 German thin capitalisation
(a)   As soon as practical but no later than 60 days after a request is received by the relevant Security Agent by either a Borrower or the German tax authorities, the Security Agent shall for the purpose of providing evidence to the German tax authorities of the absence of any detrimental recourse situation deliver to the AMB Agent a Confirmation Letter at the reasonable cost and expense of the respective Borrower. For purposes of enabling the Security Agent to issue the Confirmation Letter and before any issue of a Confirmation Letter by the Security Agent, the AMB Agent will provide the Security Agent with a draft proposal of a Confirmation Letter listing all guarantees and security interests and other restrictions.
(b)   The delivery of a Confirmation Letter shall not prejudice the rights of the Finance Parties under this Agreement or any other Finance Document. Any Confirmation Letter delivered under this Agreement:
  (i)   is given for the purpose of delivery to the competent tax authorities of the relevant Borrowers and to assist the Borrowers in the administration of their tax affairs and not for any other purpose (the risk of a detrimental recourse situation fully remains with the relevant Borrowers);
 
  (ii)   does not guarantee the achievement of a specific result or conclusion for German tax purposes;
 
  (iii)   is addressed to and is solely for the benefit of the Borrowers in relation to this Agreement; and
 
  (iv)   does not create third party rights of any kind.
(c)   No Finance Party is responsible or liable for the tax affairs or position of any Obligor or Additional Obligor or for achieving any particular tax treatment of any Obligor or Additional Obligor and no Obligor or Additional Obligor may make any claim against a Finance Party in respect of or in connection with the Confirmation Letters, irrespective of their accuracy.
(d)   The Obligors and Additional Obligors undertake to notify the Security Agent should they become aware that any of the Confirmation Letters is not or no longer true, correct, complete and not misleading.

Page 50


 

(e)   The Obligors and Additional Obligors, on a joint and several basis, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Finance Party against claims of other Obligors and Additional Obligors, other Finance Parties and third parties, including without limitation the German tax authorities, in connection with any of the Confirmation Letters.
(f)   The Parties acknowledge that the term back-to-back financing as understood and applied by the German tax authorities in the context of the German thin capitalisation regime (Sec. 8a German Corporate Income Tax Act, CITA, Körperschaftsteuergesetz) is still unclear. To the extent the German tax authorities require a Borrower under the German Loans to provide, in addition to the Confirmation Letters, further evidence or information, the Security Agent shall consider in good faith to what extent it is reasonably practical for it, or for the Lenders, to support the relevant Borrower in this regard. For the avoidance of doubt, no Finance Party shall be under any obligation to release any of its Security Interests or issue further Confirmation Letters or certificates or otherwise provide information to the relevant Borrower or the German tax authorities, including without limitation in relation to the existence or non-existence of any Accounts maintained by any of the Obligors or any Additional Obligors with any Finance Party.
(g)   No error or omission in a Bank Certificate shall constitute a release of any Security Interest.
(h)   The Obligors and Additional Obligors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Finance Parties from any losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees) resulting from or in connection with any request for assistance or support under this Clause 15.6 (German thin capitalisation).
(i)   Each Confirmation Letter shall not constitute the provision by a Finance Party of any legal or tax advice to any other party in respect of the application of the German thin capitalisation regime (Sec. 8a CITA and any administrative guidance issued in respect thereof) or otherwise in respect of this Agreement.
(j)   The Obligors hereby irrevocably waive all confidentiality rights pertaining to the delivery of the Confirmation Letters and all parties agree to allow the Agents freely to communicate among themselves and the Lenders and mandate the Agents irrevocably in order to deliver such Confirmation Letter on behalf of the Lenders to the respective Obligor(s).
(k)   Neither the Security Agent nor any Lender shall be obliged to deliver any information pursuant to a request under this Clause 15.6 (German thin capitalisation) if, by doing so, it would contravene the terms of any applicable Law or any notice, direction or requirement or any governmental or regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law).
(l)   The Obligors may disclose the existence and content of a Confirmation Letter to its professional advisers or its respective Affiliates, as required by applicable law or regulation and to any tax, regulatory or other governmental authority asserting jurisdiction over it.
(m)   Any Security provided with regard to the German Loans under the Finance Documents shall at all times exclude Accounts if, and to the extent, any such Account qualifies as a Long Term Interest Bearing Deposit.
(n)   Any negative pledge or negative disposal covenant provided for in the Finance Documents with regard to the German Loans shall restrict the Obligors’ or Additional Obligors’ rights to

  (ii)   each Obligor hereby acknowledges that:
  (A)   for this purpose the Parallel Obligations constitute undertakings, obligations and liabilities of each Obligor to the Security Agent which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Principal Obligations which each Borrower has to any Finance Party; and
 
  (B)   the Parallel Obligations represent the Security Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Obligations, provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Obligations of the relevant Obligor under this clause shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under all the Principal Obligations of the Obligor to all the Finance Parties.

Page 62

(b)   except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;

(b)   In relation to France, the cross-collateralisation mechanism shall be as described in Clause 29.11 (France).

Page 98


 

29.11 France
(a)   In respect of any Property situated in France, the security described in Clauses 29.7(b)(i) and 29.7(b)(i) shall be modified as follows:
  (i)   a mortgage of the relevant Property for an amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount outstanding or to be outstanding under any Loan, namely, ten per cent, of the Loan plus an amount in respect of accessories which shall not exceed 10 per cent. of the Loan amount;
 
  (ii)   a mandate granted to the nominated notary of the Lender to register the relevant Property for the full amount of the relevant Loan after (and during the subsistence of) an Event of Default under that Loan;
 
  (iii)   a pledge of Shares in accordance with Clause 29.7(b)(i)(B) in combination with a mortgage of the Charged Property from a third party in the case of an acquisition of Shares; and/or
 
  (iv)   any other form of security in accordance with Clause 29.7 (ShareCo as a Borrower) and Clause 29.8 (PropCo as a Borrower) acceptable to the Facility Agent that secures the obligations of the relevant Obligors in respect of that Loan.
(b)   The cross-collateralisation principles set out in Clause 29.10 (Cross-collateralisation by Country of Term Loans) shall be implemented in France as follows (unless otherwise agreed):
  (i)   the cross-collateralisation shall be achieved by:
  (A)   the relevant ShareCo granting a Limited Pledge Guarantee; and
 
  (B)   the relevant ShareCo pledging the Shares it holds in the relevant PropCo;
  (ii)   the only guarantees granted by a ShareCo to effect any cross-collateralisation shall be such Limited Pledge Guarantees;
 
  (iii)   share pledges shall only be granted by a ShareCo over the Shares owned by it in each relevant PropCo in France and such ShareCo shall not be required to grant any further security over its assets in favour of the Finance Parties unless otherwise agreed between the AMB Agent and the Facility Agent. No security shall be taken by the Finance Parties over the shares in the ShareCo or over the shares of any Holding Company of the ShareCo unless otherwise agreed by the AMB Agent and the Facility Agent;
 
  (iv)   if a ShareCo becomes the owner of new PropCos in France, the benefit of the Limited Pledge Guarantee shall be extended to such new PropCos in order to effect the cross-collateralisation structure over all such PropCos in France;
 
  (v)   whenever cross-collateralisation of assets located in France cannot be achieved through a Limited Pledge Guarantee as described above, the parties agree that all PropCos located in France will enter into a Cross-Guarantee. If for any reason such Cross-Guarantee is not effective because of corporate benefit limitations or is validly contested on this basis, Clause 20.3 (France – Cross-collateralisation by a Cross-Guarantee) shall apply; and

Page 99


 

  (vi)   if a ShareCo grants a Limited Pledge Guarantee or other guarantee in favour of the Finance Parties in order to effect cross-collateralisation, the Finance Parties shall, at the request of the AMB Agent, act in good faith to negotiate and agree any intercreditor arrangements that may be required to be entered into between them and any other third party financier of ShareCo or of any Affiliate of ShareCo in relation to which such third party finance is to be or has been provided. The relevant ShareCo shall not grant any other third party financier any Security Interest over its assets other than a Security Interest over a property (and its related leases and income therefrom) or shares in a property owning company that is or is to be financed by that third party financier.
29.12 Germany
(a)   In respect of any Property situated in Germany, the security described in Clauses 29.7(b)(i)(A) and 29.8(b)(i)(A) shall be a first ranking certificated land charge (Grundschuld) for the full amount of the relevant Loan, with an acceptance of debt (Übernahme der persönlichen Haftung) which is immediately enforceable (Unterwerfung unter die sofortige Zwangsvollstreckung) in accordance with Section 800 of the German Code of Civil Procedure for the secured amounts.
(b)   For the purposes of this Clause 29.12, “net assets” means the sum of the balance sheet positions shown under section 266 (2) (A), (B) and (C) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) less the sum of the amounts shown under balance sheet positions pursuant to section 266 (3) (B), (C) and (D) German Commercial Code (HGB), each as shown in a balance sheet as of the date on which the enforcement of the guarantee and/or indemnity is sought (Stichtagsbilanz), and whereby the following balance sheet adjustments shall be made:
  (i)   loans provided to the relevant German Guarantor shall be disregarded, if and to the extent that such loans have been made by the lender from funds made available to such lender directly or indirectly under the Finance Documents, or if and to the extent they are subordinated contractually or by statute and are ranked in accordance with section 39 para. 2 of the German Insolvency Act (Insolvenzordnung);
 
  (ii)   loans and other liabilities incurred in violation of any of the provisions of the Agreement shall be disregarded; and
 
  (iii)   the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor (or, as the case may be, its general partner) that has been effected out of capital reserves (Gesellschaftsmitteln) which was carried out after the date of the execution of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, unless permitted pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deducted from the registered share capital. To the extent claims have not been enforced pursuant to the below-mentioned enforcement limitations the claims under the relevant guarantee and/or indemnity shall not be discharged.
(c)   Each Finance Party undertakes not to enforce any guarantee or indemnity given by an Obligor for the purpose of acquiring any Property or Shares pursuant to this Clause 29 (Security) if it is given:
  (i)   by a GmbH that is not a party to a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) as a dominated company (beherrschte Gesellschaft); or

Page 100


 

  (ii)   a German limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a GmbH as its sole general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) (a German Guarantor),
to the extent that enforcement under that Guarantee and/or indemnity would cause:
  (A)   the amount of such German Guarantor’s (or, as the case may be, its general partner’s) net assets (Reinvermögen), to be reduced below the amount of its (or, as the case may be, its general partner’s) registered share capital which is protected by sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liabilities Companies Act (GmbHG); or
  (iii)   if the German Guarantor’s (or, as the case may be, its general partner’s) net assets already fall short of the amount of its (or, as the case may be) its general partner’s registered share capital which is protected by sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liabilities Companies Act (GmbHG).
(d) The restriction on enforcement pursuant to this Clause 29.12 (Germany) shall not apply:
  (i)   if, following a demand made by a Finance Party under the guarantee or indemnity or following the commencement of the enforcement of the guarantee or indemnity by such Finance Party, the relevant German Guarantor does not provide conclusive evidence, including in particular interim financial statements up to the end of the last completed calendar month, within fifteen (15) days after the date of such demand to the Facility Agent, or if after receipt of unaudited financial statements notification is given to the relevant German Guarantor by the Facility Agent to provide financial statements up to the end of that same calendar month audited by a firm of internationally recognised auditors and such audited financial statements are not provided within forty-five (45) days after the date of such demand; or
 
  (ii)   for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this Agreement secures the own obligations of the German Guarantor.
 
  (iii)   The German Guarantor shall realise any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet or are not recorded at all with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets if the asset is not necessary for the German Guarantor ‘s business (betriebsnotwendig) in a situation where the German Guarantor does not have sufficient:
  (A)   net assets to maintain its (or, as the case may be, its general partner’s) registered share capital; or
 
  (B)   liquidity to fulfil its financial liabilities to its creditors and a Finance Party would (but for Clause 29.12(b)) be entitled to enforce its claims.
If, however, the relevant assets are essential for its business of the German Guarantor, a sale-and-lease back shall be carried out. Furthermore, it shall take any other measures (including, without limitation, set-off claims) to avoid a payment under the guarantee and/or indemnity causing the net assets of the relevant German Guarantor (or, as the case may be, its general partner) to be reduced below the amount of its (or, as the case may be, its general partner’s) registered share capital which is protected by sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG).

Page 101


 

(e)   If, after having been provided with the financial statements according to Clause 29.12(c) which prevented it from enforcing the guarantee or indemnity, the Facility Agent ascertains that the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor as set out in such financial statements has substantially improved, the Facility Agent may, at the relevant German Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of updated audited financial statements of the relevant German Guarantor in order to determine whether and, if so, to what extent the enforcement limitations under this Clause 29.12 (Germany) are no longer applicable as a result of the improvement of the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor.
 
(f)   Clause 29.10 (Cross-collateralisation by Country of Term Loans) shall apply.
 
(g)   This Clause 29.12 (Germany) shall apply analogously to a German limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a Dutch B.V. as its sole general partner (BV & Co. KG) if, and to the extent at the time of, the envisaged enforcement of the Guarantee a German court has held (undisputed by a higher court) that sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liabilities Companies Act apply to such BV & Co. KG.
29.13 Spain
(a)   In respect of any Property or Buildings situated in Spain, the security described in Clauses 29.7(b)(i)(A) and 29.8(b)(i)(A) shall be, depending on the nature of the Property or Buildings, a real estate mortgage (hipoteca inmobiliaria), a chattel mortgage (hipoteca mobiliaria) or a non-possessory pledge (prenda sin desplazamiento) duly registered with the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad) or the moveable property registry (Registro de Bienes Muebles).
 
(b)   The guarantee, obligation, liability, undertaking and other obligations of any Spanish Obligor expressed to be assumed in this Agreement, and/or in any other Finance Document shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Spanish Obligor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of articles 81 of the Spanish Stock Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades Anónimas) and/or article 40 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada) and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be construed accordingly.
29.14 The Netherlands
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 29.14 the guarantee, obligation, liability, undertaking and other obligations of any Dutch Obligor expressed to be assumed in this Agreement, and/or in any other Finance Document shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Dutch Obligor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 2:98(c) or 2:207(c) of the Dutch Civil Code and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be construed accordingly.
29.15 Belgium
(a)   The guarantee, obligation, liability, security interest, undertaking and other obligations of any Belgian Obligor expressed to be assumed in this Agreement, and/or in any other Finance Document shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Belgian Obligor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of articles 329 and/or

Page 102


 

    629 of the Belgian Company Code and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be construed accordingly.

SCHEDULE 5
CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST
1. General
(a)   The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Lender for the cost of compliance with:
  (i)   the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or
 
  (ii)   the requirements of the European Central Bank.
(b)   The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
 
(c)   The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Lender in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Lenders calculated by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of an Interest Period (or as soon as possible after then).
 
(d)   The Facility Agent shall distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.
 
(e)   Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.
2. For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K.
(a)   The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
         
 
  Ex0.01
 
300
   per cent. per annum
    where on the day of application of the formula, E is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Lenders to the Facility Agent under Clause 2(d) of this Schedule and expressed in pounds per £1 million.
 
(b)   For the purposes of this Clause 2:
  (i)   fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
 
  (ii)   fee tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and
 
  (iii)   tariff base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules.

Page 147


 

(c)   Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.
 
(d)   If requested by the Facility Agent, each Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Lender as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Lender.
 
(e)   Each Lender shall supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. In particular, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
  (i)   the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
 
  (ii)   any other information that the Facility Agent reasonably requires for that purpose.
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this Clause 2(e).
(f)   The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of Clause 2(e) of this Schedule are determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it under Clauses 2(d) and 2(e) of this Schedule. Unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the U.K.
 
(g)   The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. The Facility Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects.
 
3.   For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State
 
(a)   The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage rate per annum shall be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s share in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office.
 
(b)   If a Lender fails to specify a rate under Clause 3(a) of this Schedule , the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost.
 
4.   Changes
 
(a)   The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:
  (i)   any change in law or regulation; or

Page 148


 

  (ii)   any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority).
(b)   If the Facility Agent, after consultation with the Borrowers, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. can be calculated by reference to a screen, the Facility Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this.

SCHEDULE 9
SECURITY PRINCIPLES
Part A
1. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to abide by the following Security Principles where applicable to it and its assets (in addition to those provisions in this Agreement relating to security) in order to ensure the perfection of any and all security that is secured pursuant to the Finance Documents.
Part B
– General
1.1 Each form of security pursuant to any Security Document shall, to the extent legally possible, but subject to the principles set out below, will be taken on a first priority perfected basis over the Shares (to the extent required in order to achieve effective country by country cross-collateralisation in the case of the French Security only, as described in Clause 29.11 (France)), Lease Documents, Property and insurance policies (or part thereof relating to the relevant Property).
1.2 Where an Obligor pledges Shares, the Security Document will (subject to agreed exceptions) be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the company whose Shares are being pledged and not by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the pledgor.
1.3 All security shall (unless and to the extent local law considerations require otherwise) be given in favour of the Security Agent and not other Finance Parties individually. Parallel Obligation provisions will be used where necessary in accordance with Clause 21 (Parallel Debt).
1.4 All upstream and cross-stream guarantees may be limited by corporate benefit restrictions, fraudulent preference restrictions, retention of title claims and may be limited by financial assistance restrictions. Additionally guarantees will not be taken in these circumstances where material issues of directors’ personal liability or breach of fiduciary duty or criminal liability arise (assuming Obligors use reasonable endeavours to overcome the same and no limitation wording would enable a guarantee of all or any part of the Facilities to be taken notwithstanding those circumstances or issues).
1.5 The granting of guarantees, perfection of security, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Finance Documents therefore or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Finance Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection. The perfection of security granted will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Obligor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Finance Documents.
1.6 In any jurisdiction where the level of fees, taxes or duties payable to register security or other credit support over or in respect of a Property (and any ancillary assets) is dependent on the amount that is registered or otherwise recorded as secured in respect of that Property this secured amount shall be limited (unless otherwise agreed by the AMB Agent and the Facility Agent), to 10 per cent. of the Loan advanced in respect of that Property (plus in any applicable jurisdiction an amount in respect of accessories (or equivalent costs) on 10 per cent. of the relevant Loan Amount) and provided always that a notary (or equivalent) holds to the Lenders order a power of attorney (or equivalent) giving the

Page 159


 

notary (or equivalent) the right to register the balance of the Loan after the occurrence of (and during the subsistence of) an Event of Default in relation to the relevant Property, PropCo or ShareCo (as the case may be) in accordance with the principles in this Facility Agreement.
1.7 All security (other than any share security over its Obligor subsidiaries) shall be governed by the law of and secure assets located in the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Obligor.
1.8 The Parties acknowledge that:
(a)   no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where Obligors or material assets are not located;
 
(b)   unless the restriction is required by law, the constitutional documents of the pledgor will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer, or the registration of the transfer, of the shares on enforcement of the security granted over them;
 
(c)   local law restrictions may mean that the Lenders may not be able to benefit from the same security; and
 
(d)   security shall not be created or perfected and/or guarantees will not be given to the extent that they would result in costs disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of that security and/or guarantee or impose an undue administration burden on a material inconvenience to the ordinary course of operations of the providers of the guarantee or security
1.9 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken as part of this transaction:
(a)   security will not be enforceable until an Enforcement Event which is continuing;
 
(b)   either the making of the Security Agent a beneficiary:
  (i)   in relation to any general policy of insurance, by endorsing the Security Agent as a “mortgagee/ loss payee” (or equivalent acceptable to the Security Agent acting reasonably);
 
  (ii)   in relation to any general liability policy, by endorsing the Security Agent as an “additional insured-mortgagee, assignee, receiver” (or equivalent acceptable to the Security Agent acting reasonably),
that will permit the relevant Obligor to deal with claims and receive proceeds from any insurer of Group assets until such time as an Event of Default has occurred and notice of enforcement has been given by the Security Agent following an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing;
(c)   the Security Documents should only operate to create and preserve effective security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, they should not contain additional representations or undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, information or the payment of costs) unless these are the same as those contained in this Agreement or are required for the creation, perfection or preservation of the security. For the avoidance of doubt, no notification to third party debtors of security assignments or pledges shall be made unless there is an Enforcement Event under the Finance Documents under which that security assignment or

Page 160


 

    pledge arises or otherwise, unless this is necessary in order to comply with the obligations specified in this Agreement;
 
(d)   in respect of the share pledges, until an Event of Default has occurred (and being continuing) and notice of enforcement has been given by the Security Agent, the pledgors should be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares pledged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the pledgors should be permitted to receive and retain dividends on pledged shares to the extent not otherwise prohibited under the Finance Documents;
 
(e)   security powers of attorney are only to be exercisable after a notice of enforcement given by the Security Agent following an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing, or where relevant chargor has failed to perform an obligation;
 
(f)   any rights of set-off will not be exercisable until an Event of Default has occurred (and being continuing) and notice of enforcement has been given by the Security Agent;
 
(g)   no security will be taken over moveable plant or equipment if it would require any labelling or segregation of that plant or equipment; and
 
(h)   no security shall be taken over any stock in trade;.
1.10 If in a jurisdiction, security over an asset or a class of assets can be taken by way of:
(a)   subject to Clause 29.5 (Pledge or assignment of a Lease Document), an undisclosed document and by way of a disclosed document, security shall be taken by way of an undisclosed document if a disclosed document does not result in a material increase (relative to an undisclosed document) in the qualities or strength of such security.
 
(b)   a registered document or by way of an unregistered document, security shall be taken by way of an unregistered document if a registered document does not result in a material increase (relative to the unregistered document) in the qualities or strength of such Security.
1.11 Assets (other than Shares in companies that are not joint ventures and intellectual property) subject to existing third party arrangements (including, without limitation, any landlord’s superior interest, transfer restrictions, pre-emption rights, permitted security interest and joint venture voting reserved matters or put and call arrangements) which prevent those assets from being charged will not be required to be subject to any security provided that the relevant Obligor uses reasonable endeavours to obtain necessary consent or release which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not require the relevant Obligor to take any action which could reasonably be expected to damage its commercial relationship with the relevant third party.
1.12 If not otherwise required by law upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the obligations secured by the Security Documents, the Security Agent shall promptly thereafter at the costs and expense (such costs and expenses to be reasonable) of the respective chargor release, reassign or retransfer the respective asset or class of assets including all documents deposited with the Security Agent or any nominee of the Security Agent to the charger provided that the Security Agent is reasonably satisfied that there is no risk that any amount of the obligations secured by the Security Documents paid shall be avoided or reduced by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. If the Security Agent or any of its nominees holds physical possession of any asset such physical possession shall be transferred to the charger, subject to the same conditions. Such chargor shall accept such release, reassignment or retransfer. The Security Agent (on behalf of the Finance Parties) will release,

Page 161


 

reassign or retransfer the respective asset or class of assets to a third party if so required by mandatory law. In the event of a permitted disposal of a PropCo or ShareCo, the guarantee granted by that PropCo or ShareCo (and all security and guarantees granted by it and any of its Subsidiaries (if any)) shall be similarly released.
1.13 At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Obligors in accordance with this Agreement which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the security exceeds 110 per cent. of the obligations that are secured, the Security Agent and/or the Finance Parties (as the case may be) shall on demand of the AMB Agent release such part of the security as the Facility Agent may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the security.

1.5 If a Borrower (or PropCo) has delivered evidence to the Security Agent of due registration of a first (or second after existing mortgages in favour of lenders of permitted existing land charges) ranking Land Charge in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent, then the Borrower (or PropCo) shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations in respect of that Land Charge for the purposes of Clause 29 (Security) and this Schedule 9 (Security Principles).

(b)   unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance with a Finance Document, to request any certificate or other document from any Obligor.

Page 169


 

1.8 In acting as an Agent, the agency division of that Agent is treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information acquired by an Agent which, in its opinion, is acquired by it otherwise than in its capacity as Agent may be treated as confidential by that Agent and will not be treated as information possessed by that Agent in its capacity as such.
1.9 Neither Agent is obliged to disclose to any person any confidential information supplied to it by or on behalf of a member of the Group solely for the purpose of evaluating whether any waiver or amendment is required in respect of any term of the Finance Documents.
1.10 Each Obligor irrevocably authorises each Agent to disclose to the other Finance Parties any information which, in that Agent’s opinion, is received by it in its capacity as Agent.
Indemnities
1.11 Without limiting the liability of any Obligor under the Finance Documents, each Lender shall indemnify each Agent for that Lender’s pro rata share of any loss or liability incurred by an Agent in acting as an Agent (unless that Agent has been reimbursed by a Borrower under a Finance Document), except to the extent that the loss or liability is caused by that Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

1.14 An Agent may resign and appoint any of its Affiliates.
1.15 Alternatively, an Agent may resign by giving notice to the Finance Parties and the Borrowers, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Agent.

Page 170


 

1.18 The resignation of a Facility Agent and the appointment of any successor Facility Agent will both become effective only when the successor Agent notifies all the Parties that it accepts its appointment as Facility Agent.

1.19 The resignation of the Security Agent and the appointment of any successor Security Agent will both become effective only when the following conditions have been satisfied:
(a)   the successor Security Agent notifies all the Parties that it accepts its appointment; and
 
(b)   the successor Security Agent has received legal advice to the effect that the rights under the relevant Security Documents (and any related documentation) have been transferred to it.
1.20 each Finance Party (other than the Security Agent) confirms to the Facility Agent that it is satisfied with the credit rating of the proposed successor Security Agent.
1.21 On satisfaction of the above conditions, the successor Security Agent will succeed to the position of the Security Agent and the term Security Agent will mean the successor. All security previously held by the retiring Security Agent and all rights and obligations related to such security shall be transferred or assigned (as the case may be) to the successor Security Agent at the costs of the Finance Parties. Where applicable, successor the Security Agent shall become the sole creditor of any Parallel Debt Obligations.
1.22 The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as the Agent under the Finance Documents.
1.23 Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause will continue to benefit the retiring Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Finance Documents while it was an Agent, and, subject to Clause 1.19 of this Schedule, it will have no further obligations under any Finance Document.
1.24 The Majority Lenders may, by notice to an Agent with a copy to the AMB Agent, require it to resign under Clause 1.15 of this Schedule.
1.25 Relationship with Lenders

1.27 The Facility Agent may at any time convene a meeting of the Lenders.
1.28 The Facility Agent shall keep a record of all the Parties and supply any other Party with a copy of the record on request. The record will include each Lender’s Facility Office(s) and contact details for the purposes of this Agreement.

(a)   Each of the Secured Parties hereby authorises the Security Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents):
  (i)   to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Security Agent by the German Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
 
  (ii)   to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorised under or in accordance with the German Security Documents.
(b)   The Finance Parties shall exempt the Security Agent from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code to perform its duties and obligations as Security Agent hereunder and under the German Security Documents.
 
(c)   All German Security shall be subject to a parallel debt structure in accordance with Clause 21 (Parallel Debt) and the Security Agent of such security shall hold that security pursuant to Clause 21 (Parallel Debt).

  (ii)   notarise this power of attorney before a notary public in their jurisdiction of incorporation (if the process of notarisation exists within that relevant jurisdiction);
(b)   in relation to the Spanish Security the Security Agent is acting in its individual capacity as sole creditor of the Secured Obligations and not as a representative of the other Finance Parties;
 
(c)   each of the Finance Parties hereby authorises the Security Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents):
  (i)   to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Security Agent by the Spanish Security together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

(e)   The Parties acknowledge that the validity and enforceability of parallel debt obligations in accordance with Clause 21 (Parallel Debt) has not been tested in the Spanish courts. If the Spanish courts determine that such arrangements are not valid, enforceable or otherwise effective, the enforcement of the Spanish Security will require that all beneficiaries of such Spanish Security enforce that security in their own name either directly or duly represented by a third party. In this respect, the Spanish Obligors that grant any Security Interest governed by Spanish law undertake to novate the said Security Documents in favour of the Finance Parties in the event that Spanish courts determine that the parallel debt obligations are not legal, valid, enforceable or otherwise effective in Spain.

(d)   To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of Parts I, II, III, IV, or V of the Trustee Act 2000 nor the requirement to discharge the duty of care set out in Section 1(1) of the Trustee Act 2000 in exercising any of the powers contained in sections 15 or 22 of the Trustee Act 1925 shall apply to the trust constituted by this Agreement pursuant to which the Security Agent was appointed as trustee for and on behalf of the Finance Parties or to the role of the Security Agent in relation to such trust.
