"TREATY STATE" means a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement (a "TREATY") with the jurisdiction of the source of the interest which makes provision for full exemption from tax imposed by the jurisdiction of the source of the interest. 12.1.2 Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 12 a reference to "DETERMINES" or "DETERMINED" means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination. 12.2 TAX GROSS-UP 12.2.1 Any payments to be made under or in connection with any Finance Document shall be made without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. 12.2.2 The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower. 12.2.3 If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 12.2.4 The Borrower is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 12.2.3 above for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by the jurisdiction of the source of the interest (excluding, however, Tax Deductions imposed by the United States) from a payment of interest on the Loan, if on the date on which the payment falls due: 12.2.4.1 the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result 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 Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority which is applicable to the Borrower; or 47 12.2.4.2 German tax authority has imposed on the Borrower an obligation to make a withholding on account of tax according to Section 50a paragraph 7 of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz); or 12.2.4.3 the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Clause 12.2.7 below. 12.2.5 If the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 12.2.6 Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority. 12.2.7 A Treaty Lender and the Borrower when making a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. Any non co-operation by the Borrower under this Clause shall invalidate the application of Clause 12.2.4.3 above. 12.2.8 Each Original Lender warrants and represents to the Borrower on the date of this Agreement that, except with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States it is a Qualifying Lender. Each Original Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower if it ceases to be a Qualifying Lender. Any Lender other than an Original Lender shall give a Tax Confirmation to the Borrower on the day it becomes a Lender. 12.2.9 Upon the request of the Borrower, the Lender shall provide certification to the Borrower on Internal Revenues Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY of its status as a non-U.S. person in respect of any backup withholding tax imposed by the United States under Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 12.3 TAX INDEMNITY 12.3.1 The Borrower shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document. 48 12.3.2 Clause 12.3.1 above shall not apply: 12.3.2.1 with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: 12.3.2.1.1 under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or 12.3.2.1.2 under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office or permanent establishment is located or otherwise subject to non-resident tax liability in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction; if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or 12.3.2.2 to the extent a loss, liability or cost: 12.3.2.2.1 is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up); 12.3.2.2.2 is compensated for by Clause 13.1 (Increased Cost) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 13.1 (Increased Cost) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 13.3 (Exceptions) applied); 12.3.2.2.3 is attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation; or 12.3.2.2.4 would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 12.2.4 of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) applied. 12.3.3 A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 12.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the Borrower. 12.3.4 A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause 12.3, notify the Agent. 12.4 REFUND If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion, that: 12.4.1 a refund is attributable to that Tax Payment or any part of it; and 12.4.2 that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that refund; the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion, will leave it (after that payment) in the 49 same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been made by the Borrower. 12.5 STAMP TAXES The Borrower shall pay and, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, notary fees, registration and other similar Taxes and fees payable in respect of any Finance Document other than stamp duty payable in respect of an assignment or transfer pursuant to Clause 23.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders). 12.6 VALUE ADDED TAX 12.6.1 All consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT. Subject to Clause 12.6.2 below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party). 12.6.2 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 the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is not entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT. 12.6.3 If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the "SUPPLIED") 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 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 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. 13. INCREASED COSTS 13.1 INCREASED COSTS 13.1.1 Subject to Clause 13.3 (Exceptions) the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement. 50 13.1.2 In this Agreement "INCREASED COSTS" means: 13.1.2.1 a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party's (or its Affiliate's) overall capital; 13.1.2.2 an additional or increased cost; or 13.1.2.3 a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document, which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document. 13.2 INCREASED COST CLAIMS 13.2.1 A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower. 13.2.2 Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs together with such information as the Borrower may reasonably require to allow the computation of the amount that it is or would be payable under this Clause to be verified. 13.2.3 No Finance Party shall be entitled to recover any increased cost under this Clause 13.2 if it has not made a demand in respect of the same within 6 months of the date such Increased Costs have occurred. 13.3 EXCEPTIONS 13.3.1 Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is: 13.3.1.1 attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by the Borrower; 13.3.1.2 compensated for by Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 12.3.2 (Tax indemnity) applied); 13.3.1.3 compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; 13.3.1.4 would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 12.2.4 of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) applied; or 13.3.1.5 attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation. 51 In this Clause 13.3, a reference to a "TAX DEDUCTION" has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 12.1 (Definitions). 13.4 NON-DISCLOSURE Nothing in this Clause 13 (Increased Costs) will require a Finance Party to disclose any information which it regards as confidential or commercially sensitive. 14. OTHER INDEMNITIES 14.1 CURRENCY INDEMNITY 14.1.1 If any sum due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents (a "SUM"), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the "FIRST CURRENCY") in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the "SECOND CURRENCY") for the purpose of: 14.1.1.1 making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower; 14.1.1.2 obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings; the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum. 14.1.2 The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 14.2 OTHER INDEMNITIES 14.2.1 The Borrower shall , within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against (or pay to any Finance Party for the account of any of its Affiliates) any cost, loss or liability incurred or sustained or to be incurred or sustained by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of: 14.2.1.1 the occurrence of a Default or the operation of Clause 22.21 (Acceleration); 14.2.1.2 a failure by the Borrower to pay any amount due under a Finance Document on its due date, including without limitation, any cost, loss or liability arising as a result of Clause 27 (Sharing among the Finance Parties); 14.2.1.3 the Loan (or any part thereof) not being advanced after a Utilisation Request has been delivered for the Loan (or the relevant part) as a result of (i) the Borrower failing to satisfy the conditions precedent listed in Schedule 2 for such Utilisation or (ii) the Borrower declining to accept the Loan or otherwise claiming that it no longer requires the Loan for whatever reason; 52 14.2.1.4 the Loan (or part thereof) not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or 14.2.1.5 any prepayment, accelerated payment or any other repayment of the Loan (or part of the Loan) other than pursuant to Clause 6.1 (Repayment of Loan) otherwise than on an Interest Payment Date. 14.2.1.6 the receipt or recovery by a Finance Party of all or any part of the Loan, any interest or an Unpaid Sum otherwise than on an Interest Payment Date. 14.2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the liability of the Borrower in each case shall include, without limitation, any servicer's fees and any loss or expense sustained or incurred by a Finance Party and/or its Affiliate in liquidating or employing or redeploying deposits or funds acquired, borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund, effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof or any amount repaid or prepaid (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred because the rate obtainable by the Finance Party and/or its Affiliate or the redeployment of funds repaid or prepaid is less than the cost to the Finance Party and/or its Affiliate of funding the amount so repaid or prepaid). 14.3 INDEMNITY TO THE FINANCE PARTIES The Borrower shall promptly indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss expense or liability incurred by that Finance Party as a result of: 14.3.1 investigating any event which it believes is a Default; or 14.3.2 acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which it believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised. 14.4 FIXED RATE BREAK COSTS AND BREAK GAINS 14.4.1 The Borrower expressly acknowledges that one of more of the Finance Parties or their Affiliates may enter (or may have already entered) into one or more Related Funding Arrangements in connection with or by reference to all or part of its participation in a Loan with the intention of matching or correlating its obligations under those arrangements with the obligations of the Borrower under such Loan or may have taken a position generally with respect to interest rates which is partly dependent on the Borrower making payments in relation to such Loan strictly in accordance with the terms which apply to such Loan. 53 14.4.2 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 14.2 (Other Indemnities) if one of the events listed in Clause 14.2.1.1 to 14.2.1.6 above occurs or a Related Funding Arrangement is cancelled or terminated in whole or in part the Borrower shall, forthwith on demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent (for the account of the Finance Parties or their Affiliates) an amount equal to any loss or expense: 14.4.2.1 arising from the unwinding, cancellation, termination or variation of, or utilising for different purposes of, all or any part of any Related Funding Arrangement. 14.4.2.2 on the basis of the cost to the Finance Party or its Affiliate of unwinding, varying, cancelling or terminating any Related Funding Arrangement or any part thereof; or 14.4.2.3 which would arise if all or any part of any Related Funding Arrangement were unwound, cancelled, terminated, varied or utilised for a different purpose (even though the same are not actually unwound, cancelled, terminated, varied or utilised for a different purpose; or 14.4.2.4 which would arise if interest rate (or other hedging) contracts were purchased (whether or not such contracts are actually purchased) which replace the income stream which would have flowed from the relevant Loan under this Agreement. 14.4.3 The certificate of a Finance Party as to the amount of any loss or expense incurred by it or its Affiliate shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount payable by the Borrower under this Clause 14. 14.4.4 Clause 14.4.2 above shall not apply to early termination or cancellation arising by reason of: 14.4.4.1 the occurrence of an event of default under the Related Funding Arrangement happening in relation to such Finance Party and/or its Affiliate (other than where caused as a result of non-payment of any amount due from the Borrower under this Agreement); or 14.4.4.2 the voluntary termination or cancellation of the Related Funding Arrangement by such Finance Party and/or its Affiliate (unless such voluntary termination or cancellation has been made following the occurrence of one of the events listed in Clauses 14.2.1.1 to 14.2.1.6 above. 14.4.5 If a Related Funding Arrangement is cancelled or terminated and such cancellation or termination produces an amount payable to a Finance Party and/or its Affiliate (as determined by the relevant Finance Party) (a "Break Gain"), the relevant Finance Party shall pay the Break Gain to the Borrower unless a Default is outstanding, in which case the Break Gain shall be used to prepay (on behalf of the Borrower) the Loan in accordance with Clause 7 (Prepayment and Cancellation). 54 14.5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY Each Borrower shall, promptly on demand by a Finance Party, indemnify that Finance Party from and against any payments, losses or damages incurred by that Finance Party (together with any costs of defending (successfully or otherwise) any claim) arising from or based on Environmental Law which relates to a Property or the provision of the Facility to the Borrowers. 14.6 INDEMNITY TO THE SECURITY TRUSTEE 14.6.1 The Borrowers shall promptly indemnify the Security Trustee against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Security Trustee as a result of: 14.6.1.1 the taking, holding, protection and/or enforcement of the Security created under the Security Documents;

MITIGATION BY THE LENDERS 15.1 MITIGATION 15.1.1 Each Finance Party shall take such reasonable steps as such Finance Party determines to be available to it, to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, or cancelled pursuant to, any of Clause 7.1 (Illegality), Clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities), Clause 13 (Increased costs) or paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 (Mandatory Cost formula) including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office. 15.1.2 Clause 15.1.1 above does not in any way limit the obligations of the Borrower under the Finance Documents. 15.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 15.2.1 The Borrower shall indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of steps taken by it under Clause 15.1 (Mitigation). 15.2.2 A Finance Party is not obliged to take any steps under Clause 15.1 (Mitigation) if, in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might be prejudicial to it. 55 15.3 CONFIRMATION REGARDING SECURITY 15.3.1 In this Clause 15.3: "DECREE" means the general letter rulings of the German Federal Ministry of Finance, dated 15 July 2004, docket nr IV A 2 - S 2742a - 20/04, and dated 22 July 2005, docket nr. IV B 7 - S 2742a - 31/05 (each and jointly a Decree) regarding the interpretation of sec. 8 a of the German Corporate Income Tax Act (Korperschaftsteuergesetz) "LONG TERM INTEREST BEARING DEPOSIT" means any interest bearing financial asset with a term or maturity of at least twelve months as defined in more detail in marginal notes 20 and 37 (Textziffern) of the Decree dated 15 July 2004 in conjunction with the general administration guidelines on the Trade Tax Act (Gewerbesteuerrichtlinien). Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits include (without limitation) bank accounts which record a `zero' or negative balance for less than 8 days per financial year, bank accounts which record a 'zero' or negative balance for more than 7 days per financial year, but only due to a structuring which is considered to bean abuse of legal structuring for tax purposes as defined by sec. 42 German General Tax Code ('Abgabenordnung'), and intra group receivables (including without limitation Shareholder loans). 15.3.2 Each Original Lender hereby confirms that the Facility made available to the Borrower is only secured by the Security under the Security Documents. 15.3.3 As soon as practical after the signing of this Agreement each Lender shall confirm to the Borrower by letter substantially in the form as attached as Schedule 7 (Confirmation Letter, together with the confirmation given in Clause 15.3.2 above, the "CONFIRMATIONS") which Security have been granted to the Lenders in relation to the Facility including a reference to any restrictions regarding Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits. Each Lender shall send an updated Confirmation Letter if and when the Security in regard of the Facility are amended or changed or at the reasonable request of the Borrower at any other point in time. 15.3.4 The Confirmations are provided solely to assist the Borrower in demonstrating the absence of any back to back financing to the German tax authorities. No Finance Party is responsible for the tax affairs or position of the Borrower or for achieving any particular tax treatment of the Borrower and the Shareholders and the Borrower may not make any claim against a Finance Party in respect of or in connection with the Confirmations. 15.3.5 The parties acknowledge that the interpretation of the term "recourse" (Ruckgriff) and the concept of back to back financing as understood and applied by the German tax authorities in the context of the German thin capitalisation regime (sec. 8a CITA, Korperschaftsteuergesetz) is still somewhat unclear. To the extent the German tax authorities require the Borrower to provide, in addition to the Confirmations, further evidence or information the Lender shall support the Borrower in this regard. Each Lender shall, subject to receipt of adequate substitute security, as determined by the 56 Lender in its sole discretion, release or restrict its security interest or issue further confirmation letters or certificates or otherwise provide information to the Borrower or the German tax authorities, including, without limitation, in relation to the existence or non-existence of any Long Term Interest Bearing Receivables maintained by any of the Borrower's shareholders or related parties (as defined by sec. 1 para 2. of the German Foreign Relations Tax Act, AuBensteuergesetz) thereof with any Finance Parties. 15.3.6 The Confirmations 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 capitalization rules (Section 8a of the German Corporate Income Tax Act (KStG) and any administrative guidance issued in respect thereof) or otherwise in respect of this Agreement. 15.3.7 If and to the extent any right under any Security is directly or indirectly created over any receivable of the Borrower or any Shareholder or Affiliate of any Borrower or any Shareholder and that receivable is or becomes a Long Term Interest Bearing Deposit, the Lenders agree with the Borrower and each Shareholder and Related Person that such Security Right over such Long Term Interest Bearing Deposit shall not secure any payment obligation under any Finance Document. This restriction shall not apply with regard to (i) any Security Right granted by the Borrower to the extent such Security Right secures its own borrowings, and (ii) the land charges (Grundschulden) and the submissions to immediate foreclosure in rem (dingliche Zwangsvollstreckungsunterwerfungen in das Grundstuck) granted by any of the Borrower or Shareholders to any of the Finance Parties in respect of any Property. Guarantees which are provided for the obligations of the Borrower by a Shareholder or a Related Person are restricted such that no Finance Party may execute a claim into the Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits of a Shareholder. 15.3.8 In respect of Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits the relevant Shareholder shall not be subject to any restriction to transfer, assign, sell, withdraw or to terminate the underlying agreement relating to such Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits or otherwise to dispose of (verfugen) such Long Term Interest Bearing Deposits. Any such restriction imposed on the Borrower shall automatically be terminated at the time the liability of the Borrower towards the Finance Parties under this Agreement, excluding, however any obligations or liabilities of the other Borrowers, which the Borrower has assumed under the Finance Documents by way of guarantee or other legal instrument, has been fully repaid and such restriction shall be exclusively limited to securing the aforementioned liability. For the avoidance of doubt this Clause 15.3.8. shall override all other provisions in this agreement including without limitation Clauses 20.4 (Negative Pledge), 20.5 (Transaction Similar To Security) and 20.6 (Disposals). 57 16. COSTS AND EXPENSES 16.1 TRANSACTION EXPENSES The Borrower shall promptly on demand pay the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Arranger the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees, surveyors fees, environmental consultancy fees, registration and other out of pocket expenses) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the negotiation, preparation, printing, execution of: 16.1.1 this Agreement, the other Finance Documents and any other documents referred to in this Agreement; and 16.1.2 any other Finance Documents executed after the date of this Agreement. 16.2 AMENDMENT COSTS If (a) the Borrower requests an amendment, waiver or consent or (b) an amendment is required pursuant to Clause 28.9 (Change of currency), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand, reimburse the Agent and the Security Trustee for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Agent and/or the Security Trustee in responding to, evaluating, negotiating or complying with that request or requirement. 16.3 ENFORCEMENT COSTS The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand, pay to each Finance Party the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal and servicer's fees) incurred by that Finance Party in connection with the enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Finance Document. 16.4 SECURITY TRUSTEE EXPENSES The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand, pay the Security Trustee the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the administration or release of any Security created pursuant to any Security Document. 16.5 VALUATION EXPENSES The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay the costs of any Valuation under Clause 18.7 (Valuations Update) save for any Valuation under Clause 18.7.1.2.2 (Valuations Update) if it indicates that no Default has occurred. 17.

In this event, the Agent or the Security Trustee shall resign in accordance with Clause 25.2 above. 25.13 CONFIDENTIALITY 25.13.1 The Agent (in acting as agent for the Lenders), and the Security Trustee (in acting as security trustee for the Finance Parties) shall be regarded as acting through its respective agency or security trustee division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments. 25.13.2 If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, or, as the case may be, Security Trustee, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent, or, as the case may be, Security Trustee, shall not be deemed to have notice of it. 101 25.14 RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LENDERS 25.14.1 The Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and acting through its Facility Office unless it has received not less than five Business Days prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 25.14.2 Each Lender shall supply the Agent with any information required by the Agent in order to calculate the Mandatory Cost in accordance with Schedule 4 (Mandatory Cost Formula). 25.15 CREDIT APPRAISAL BY THE LENDERS Without affecting the responsibility of the Borrower for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to: 25.15.1 the financial condition, status and nature of the Borrower, the Shareholders and the Subordinated Creditors; 25.15.2 the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, Security, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; 25.15.3 whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, Security, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and 25.15.4 the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, Security, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document. 25.16 REFERENCE BANKS If a Reference Bank which is a Lender (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, but is an Affiliate of a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Agent shall appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 102 25.17 MANAGEMENT TIME Any amount payable to the Agent under Clause 15.2.1 (Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and expenses) and Clause 25.11 (Lenders' indemnity to the Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Agent's management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Borrower and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 10 (Fees). 25.18 DEDUCTION FROM AMOUNTS DUE AND PAYABLE If any Party owes an amount to the Agent or the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent or the Security Trustee would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount due and payable. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted. 26. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES No provision of this Agreement will: 26.1.1 interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; 26.1.2 oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or 26.1.3 oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax. 27. SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 27.1 PAYMENTS TO FINANCE PARTIES If a Finance Party (a "RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY") receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment mechanics) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then: 27.1.1 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent; 27.1.2 the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 103 27.1.3 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Partial payments). 27.2 REDISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Partial payments). 27.3 RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY'S RIGHTS 27.3.1 On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution. 27.3.2 If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under Clause 27.3.1 above, the Borrower shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 27.4 REVERSAL OF REDISTRIBUTION If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then: 27.4.1 each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and 27.4.2 that Recovering Finance Party's rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Borrower will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed. 27.5 EXCEPTIONS 27.5.1 This Clause 27 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower. 27.5.2 A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if: 27.5.2.1 it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 104 27.5.2.2 that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings. 28. PAYMENT MECHANICS 28.1 PAYMENTS TO THE AGENT 28.1.1 On each date on which the Borrower or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, the Borrower (subject to Clause 28.10 (Payments to the Security Trustee)) or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. 28.1.2 Payment shall be made to the Agent to its account at such office or bank in Dublin (or such other place) as the Agent may notify to the Borrower or the Lenders. 28.2 DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE AGENT Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 28.3 (Distributions to Borrower) and Clause 28.4 (Clawback) and Clause 28.10 (Payments to the Security Trustee) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days' notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency. 28.3 DISTRIBUTIONS TO OBLIGOR The Agent and the Security Trustee may (with the consent of the Borrower or in accordance with Clause 29 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for the Borrower in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 28.4 CLAWBACK 28.4.1 Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent or the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee, is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum. 28.4.2 If the Agent or the Security Trustee pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid shall on demand refund the same to the Agent or, as the 105 case may be, the Security Trustee, together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee, calculated by it to reflect its cost of funds. 28.5 PARTIAL PAYMENTS 28.5.1 If the Agent, or, as the case may be the Security Trustee, receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under the Finance Documents, the Agent, or, as the case may be the Security Trustee, shall apply that payment towards the obligations of the Borrower under the Finance Documents in the following order: 28.5.1.1 FIRST, payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses (not being amounts referred to in Clause 28.5.1.2 of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents;

and 28.5.1.4 FOURTH, any balance to be used to repay principal. 28.5.2 The Borrower waives any right to make an appropriation in respect of a partial payment. 28.6 NO SET-OFF BY BORROWER All payments to be made by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 28.7 BUSINESS DAYS 28.7.1 Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not). 28.7.2 During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date. 28.8 CURRENCY OF ACCOUNT 28.8.1 Subject to Clauses 28.8.2 and 28.8.3 below, euro is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from the Borrower under any Finance Document. 28.8.2 Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred. 106 28.8.3 Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than euro shall be paid in that other currency. 28.9 CHANGE OF CURRENCY 28.9.1 Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then: 28.9.1.1 any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Borrower); and 28.9.1.2 any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent. 28.9.2 If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 28.10 PAYMENTS TO THE SECURITY TRUSTEE Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document at any time after any Security created by or pursuant to any Security Document becomes enforceable, the Security Trustee may require: 28.10.1 the Borrower to pay all sums due under any Finance Document; or 28.10.2 the Agent to pay all sums received or recovered from the Borrower under any Finance Document; in each case as the Security Trustee may direct for application in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents. 29. SET-OFF A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 107 30.

REMEDIES AND WAIVERS No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

LOAN TRANCHES The Agent may at any time require that the Loan be divided into two or more tranches, of which the aggregate weighted average interest rate shall, as of any sale or securitisation of the Loan, equal the interest rate on the Loan on the date immediately prior to such tranching, but each of which may have a different interest rate and a different amortisation profile PROVIDED always that the impact of such division shall not result in any additional financial obligation to the Borrower over the Term. 39. FURTHER ASSURANCE The parties hereto shall on being reasonably requested to do so by the Agent now or at any time while this Agreement is still in force do or perform all such further acts and things and/or execute and deliver such further deeds, documents or instruments (or procure that the same are executed and delivered) in a manner and form reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Lenders for implementing or giving full effect to the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "ADDITIONAL COST RATE") for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in the Loan 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. 4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: (a) in relation to a sterling Loan: AB + C (B-D) + EX - 0.01 per cent., per annum ------------------------ 100 - (A+C) (b) in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling: E0.01 per cent., per annum ----- 300 Where: A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. B is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in Clause 8.3 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 122 C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. E is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per L1,000,000. 5. For the purposes of this Schedule: (a) "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL DEPOSITS" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; (b) "FEES RULES" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; (c) "FEE TARIFFS" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and (d) "TARIFF BASE" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 7. If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per L1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: (a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and (b) any other information that the Agent may require for such purpose. 123 Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 10. The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 11. The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 12. Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 13. The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 124 SCHEDULE 8 PROPERTIES ALLOCATED LOAN AMOUNT (24.7399% OF THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS) PROPERTY (EUR) ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- 1.
