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

Following repayment or prepayment of the Global Loans, any remaining amounts standing to the credit of the Global blocked account must be applied by the Company in or towards repayment or prepayment of the Global Letters of Credit. (d) If the Company notifies the Global Facility Agent within 30 days of the receipt of any net proceeds (a NOTIFICATION DATE) that those net proceeds are: (i) in the case of any net proceeds resulting from an insurance claim, to be applied in replacement of the lost or damaged asset which was the subject of that insurance claim with an asset or assets of comparable or superior type, quality and value; or (ii) in the case of any net proceeds resulting from a disposal, to be applied in replacement of the relevant disposed asset with an asset or assets of comparable or superior type, quality and value, then: (A) provided that those net proceeds are not released under sub-paragraph (B) below, those net proceeds will not be applied under paragraph (c) above until the date falling 180 days after the receipt of the relevant net proceeds (a REINVESTMENT BACKSTOP DATE); and (B) during the period from the relevant notification date and the relevant reinvestment backstop date the Global Facility Agent, if requested by the Company, must release or must procure that its Affiliate releases those net proceeds from the Global blocked account to the Company and the Company must apply those net proceeds in accordance with the purpose provided for in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

Any other prepayment of a Loan may not be re-borrowed. 12.13 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS (a) Any notice of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement is irrevocable and must specify the relevant date(s) and the affected Credits and Commitments. The relevant Facility Agent must notify the Lenders promptly of receipt of any such notice. (b) All prepayments under this Agreement must be made with accrued interest on the amount prepaid. No premium or penalty is payable in respect of any prepayment except for Break Costs. (c) The Global Majority Lenders may agree, acting reasonably, to a shorter notice period for a voluntary prepayment or a voluntary cancellation in respect of the Global Facility. (d) The South African Majority Lenders may agree, acting reasonably, to a shorter notice period for a voluntary prepayment or a voluntary cancellation in respect of the South African Facility. (e) No prepayment or cancellation is allowed except in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. (f) No amount of the Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement may subsequently be reinstated. 13. INTEREST 13.1 CALCULATION OF INTEREST The rate of interest on each Loan for each Term is the percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the applicable: (a) Margin; (b) IBOR; and (c) (i) in relation to each Global Loan, Mandatory Cost; and (ii) in relation to each South African Loan, Lender Regulatory Costs. 13.2 PAYMENT OF INTEREST Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last day of each Term and also, if the Term is longer than three months, on the dates falling at three-monthly intervals after the first day of that Term. 48 13.3 MARGIN ADJUSTMENTS FINANCIAL COVENANTS (a) In this Subclause: CONSOLIDATED TOTAL BORROWINGS and CONSOLIDATED EBITDA have the meanings given to them in Clause 24 (Financial Covenants) provided that, for the purposes of this Subclause, Consolidated Total Borrowings will exclude the amount of any counter-indemnity obligation of any member of the Group under any Customs Guarantee. (b) Subject to paragraph (e) below, from the date of this Agreement to and including the date of the first change to the Margin under paragraph (c) below, the Margin is 1.00 per cent. per annum. (c) Beginning with the information provided in the third Compliance Certificate delivered under this Agreement (and the financial statements delivered with that Compliance Certificate) and subject to the other provisions of this Subclause, the Margin will be calculated by reference to the table below and the information set out in each Compliance Certificate and each set of financial statements of the Company delivered to the Coordinating Facility Agent:

(d) Any change in the Margin will apply to each Loan made or outstanding on the Business Day falling 5 Business Days after receipt by the Coordinating Facility Agent of the Compliance Certificate demonstrating that a change to the Margin should occur. (e) For so long as an Event of Default is outstanding the Margin will be 3.20 per cent. per annum. (f) If the Margin has been calculated on the basis of a Compliance Certificate but would have been higher or lower if it had been based on the subsequent financial statements of the Company the Margin will instead be calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements of the Company. Any change will have a retrospective effect. If, in this event: (i) any amount of interest has been paid by a Borrower on the basis of the Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must immediately pay to the relevant Facility Agent any shortfall in the amount which would have been paid to the relevant Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements; and (ii) the Coordinating Facility Agent must, within five Business Days of delivery of the relevant financial statements to it, pay to the relevant Borrower the difference between the amount paid by the relevant Borrower and the amount which would have been paid by that Borrower if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements. 49 13.4 INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS (a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Global Facility Agent in the case of an Obligor under the Global Facility or the South African Facility Agent in the case of an Obligor under the South African Facility 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 relevant Facility Agent to be the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan under the Facility to which the relevant Facility Agent attributes the overdue amount in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the relevant Facility Agent may (acting reasonably): (i) select successive Terms of any duration of up to three months; and (ii) determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term. (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Term, then: (i) the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and (ii) the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan. After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above. (d) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable. (e) In the event that French law so requires, and in respect of Obligors incorporated in France, interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount in accordance with article 1154 of the French Civil Code but will remain immediately due and payable. 13.5 NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST The relevant Facility Agent must promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement. 14. TERMS 14.1 SELECTION (a) Each Loan has one Term only. (b) A Borrower must select the Term for a Loan in the relevant Request. (c) Subject to the following provisions of this Clause, each Term for a Loan will be one, two, three or six months or any other period agreed by the relevant Borrower and the Lenders under the Facility under which the relevant Loan is drawn. 50 14.2 NO OVERRUNNING THE FINAL MATURITY DATE If a Term for a Loan would otherwise overrun the Final Maturity Date, it will be shortened so that it ends on the Final Maturity Date. 14.3 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS Each Facility Agent and the Company may enter into such other arrangements as they may agree for the adjustment of Terms and the consolidation and/or splitting of Loans. 14.4 NOTIFICATION The relevant Facility Agent must notify each relevant Party of the duration of each Term promptly after ascertaining its duration. 15. MARKET DISRUPTION 15.1 FAILURE OF A REFERENCE BANK TO SUPPLY A RATE If IBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 12.00 noon (local time) on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable IBOR will, subject as provided below, be calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Banks. 15.2 MARKET DISRUPTION (a) In this Clause, each of the following events is a MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT: (i) IBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but no, or only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 12.00 noon (local time) on the Rate Fixing Day; or (ii) the relevant Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from at least two Lenders whose combined shares in the relevant Loan exceed 30 per cent. of that Loan that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is in excess of IBOR for the relevant Term. (b) The relevant Facility Agent must promptly notify the Company and the Lenders under the relevant Facility of a market disruption event. (c) After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on each Lender's share in the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable: (i) Margin; (ii) rate notified to the relevant Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Term, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its share in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and (iii) in relation to each Global Loan, the Mandatory Cost and in relation to each South African Loan, Lender Regulatory Costs. 51 15.3 ALTERNATIVE BASIS OF INTEREST OR FUNDING (a) If a market disruption event occurs and a Facility Agent or the Company so requires, the Company and that Facility Agent must 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 affected Loan. (b) Any alternative basis agreed will be, with the prior consent of all the Lenders under the relevant Facility, binding on all the Parties. 16. TAXES 16.1 GENERAL In this Clause TAX CREDIT means a credit against any Tax or any relief or remission for Tax (or its repayment). 16.2 TAX GROSS-UP (a) Each Obligor must 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 must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must promptly notify the relevant Facility Agent. That Facility Agent must 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 an Agent, the amount of the payment due from the 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) Except as provided below, a Borrower is not required to make an increased payment under paragraph (c) above to a Lender that is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in respect of that Borrower in excess of the amount that the Borrower would have had to pay had the Lender been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in respect of that Borrower. (e) Paragraph (d) above will not apply if the Lender: (i) has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender in respect of that Borrower 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; or (ii) is not or has ceased to be an Exempt Lender in respect of that Borrower by reason of any act or omission of, or any circumstances connected with, that Borrower. 52 (f) A Borrower is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above if that Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction would not have been required if the Lender had complied with its obligations under paragraph (i) below. (g) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed 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 must 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 must co-operate with each Borrower by using its reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. (j) If a Lender is expressed to be a U.K. Non-Bank Lender when it becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender, it will be deemed to have confirmed its status for the purpose of the definition of U.K. NON-BANK LENDER. A Lender expressed to be a U.K. Non-Bank Lender when it becomes a party to this Agreement must promptly notify the Company and the Facility Agent of any change to its status that may affect any confirmation made by it. 16.3 TAX INDEMNITY (a) Except as provided below, each Obligor under the Global Facility must indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines will be or has been suffered (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) from that Obligor under a Finance Document to the extent that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines that that loss or liability is attributable to the Global Facility. (b) Except as provided below, each Obligor under the South African Facility must indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines will be or has been suffered (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) from that Obligor under a Finance Document to the extent that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines that that loss or liability is attributable to the South African Facility. (c) Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which: (i) that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party has a Facility Office and is treated as resident for tax purposes; or (ii) that Finance Party's Facility Office is located 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 by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount 53 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. (d) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Company of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim. 16.4 TAX CREDIT If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines that: (a) a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and (b) it has used and retained that Tax Credit, the Finance Party must pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines (in its absolute discretion) will leave that Finance Party (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. 16.5 STAMP TAXES (a) The Company must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a Transfer Certificate to the extent that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines that that stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax is attributable to the Global Facility. (b) The South African Borrowers must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a Transfer Certificate to the extent that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines that that stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax is attributable to the South African Facility. 16.6 VALUE ADDED TAXES (a) Any amount (including costs and expenses) payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Obligor must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax. (b) The obligation of any Obligor under paragraph (a) above will be reduced to the extent that the Finance Party determines (acting reasonably) that it is entitled to repayment or a credit in respect of the Tax. 16.7 US TAX FORMS (a) In this Subclause: US OBLIGOR means an Obligor that is incorporated or organised under the laws of the United States of America or any State of the United States of America (including the District of Columbia). 54 UNITED STATES PERSON has the meaning given to it in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. (b) Except as provided below, each Lender that is not a United States person must supply to the Facility Agent and each US Obligor the US Internal Revenue Service forms that are necessary to enable that US Obligor to make payments to that Lender under the Finance Documents without any deduction or withholding in respect of any Tax in the United States of America. (c) A Lender must comply with its obligations under paragraph (b) above as soon as practicable after the date it becomes a Party or (if later) the date the US Obligor becomes a Party. (d) A Lender is not obliged to supply any form under paragraph (b) above if it is unable to do so by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority. (e) A US Obligor is not obliged to pay any Tax Payment to a Lender to the extent that the Tax Payment would not have been payable if that Lender had complied with its obligations under this Subclause 16.7 (US tax forms). 17. INCREASED COSTS 17.1 INCREASED COSTS (a) Except as provided below in this Clause, the Company must pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines, acting reasonably, is attributable to the Global Facility incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of: (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or any change 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. (b) Except as provided below in this Clause, each South African Borrower must pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost that the Coordinating Facility Agent determines is attributable to the South African Facility incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of: (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or any change 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. 17.2 EXCEPTIONS Neither the Company nor any South African Borrower need make any payment for an Increased Cost to the extent that the Increased Cost is: (a) compensated for under another Clause or would have been but for an exception to that Clause; (b) attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully failing to comply with any law or regulation; or 55 (c) attributable to the implementation or application of or compliance with the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form existing on the date of this Agreement and as interpreted by the Lenders at the date of this Agreement (BASEL II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulation, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates). 17.3 CLAIMS (a) A Finance Party intending to make a claim for an Increased Cost must notify the relevant Facility Agent of the circumstances giving rise to and the amount of the claim, following which the relevant Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company or the South African Borrowers (as the case may be). (b) Each Finance Party must, as soon as practicable after a demand by a Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Cost. 18.

(b) Paragraph (a) above does not in any way limit the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance Documents. (c) The Company must indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of any step taken by it under this Subclause and which the Coordinating Facility Agent determines are attributable to the Global Facility. (d) Each South African Borrower must indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of any step taken by it under this Subclause and which the Coordinating Facility Agent determines are attributable to the South African Facility.

(b) If the accession of an Additional Obligor requires any Finance Party to carry out know your customer requirements in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company must promptly on request by any Finance Party supply to that Finance Party any documentation or other evidence which is reasonably requested by that Finance Party (whether for itself, on behalf of any Finance Party or any prospective new Lender) to enable a Finance Party or prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied with the results of all applicable know your customer requirements.

(e) The prior consent of all the Global Lenders is required if the Additional Obligor is an Additional Borrower and is incorporated in a jurisdiction which is not a jurisdiction in which an Original Borrower under the Global Facility is incorporated. (f) The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Obligor when the Coordinating Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and the Company that it has received all of the documents and evidence referred to in paragraph (c) above in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Coordinating Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable. (g) Delivery of an Accession Agreement, executed by the relevant Subsidiary and the Company, to the Coordinating Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and the Company that the Repeating Representations are then correct. 34.8 RESIGNATION OF AN OBLIGOR (OTHER THAN THE COMPANY) (a) The Company may request that an Obligor (other than the Company) cease to be an Obligor by giving to the Coordinating Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request. (b) The Coordinating Facility Agent must accept a Resignation Request and notify the Company and the Lenders of its acceptance if: 126 (i) in the case of a Global Guarantor, the Global Majority Lenders have consented to the Resignation Request; (ii) in the case of a South African Guarantor, the South African Majority Lenders have consented to the Resignation Request; (iii) it is not aware that a Default is outstanding or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Request; and (iv) no amount owed by that Obligor under this Agreement is still outstanding. (c) The Obligor will cease to be a Borrower and/or a Guarantor, as appropriate, when the Coordinating Facility Agent gives the notification referred to in paragraph (b) above. (d) An Obligor (other than the Company) may also cease to be an Obligor in any other manner approved by the relevant group of Majority Lenders. 34.9 CHANGES TO THE REFERENCE BANKS If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the relevant Facility Agent must (in consultation with the Company) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 34.10 AFFILIATES OF LENDERS (a) Each Lender may fulfil its obligations in respect of any Credit through an Affiliate if: (i) the relevant Affiliate is specified in this Agreement as a Lender or becomes a Lender by means of a Transfer Certificate in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) the Credits in which that Affiliate will participate are specified in this Agreement or in a notice given by that Lender to the relevant Facility Agent and the Company. In this event, the Lender and the Affiliate will participate in Credits in the manner provided for in sub-paragraph (ii) above. (b) If paragraph (a) above applies, the Lender and its Affiliate will be treated as having a single Commitment and a single vote, but, for all other purposes, will be treated as separate Lenders. 34.11 THE REGISTER (a) The Coordinating Facility Agent, as an agent of the Borrowers solely for the purposes of this Subclause, shall maintain at its address a register (the REGISTER) with respect to each Facility for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount owing to, each Lender from time to time under such Facility. (b) Any failure to make or update the Register, or any error in the Register, will not affect any Obligor's obligations in respect of such Facility. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause: (i) the transfer of any Commitment or any other right or obligation under the Finance Documents will not be effective until that transfer is recorded on the Register; and 127 (ii) before its recording, all amounts owing by the Obligors under the Finance Documents to the relevant transferor with respect to those Commitments and Loans will remain owing to such transferor. (d) The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Obligor or any Finance Party at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Each Party irrevocably authorises the Coordinating Facility Agent to make the relevant entry in the Register on its behalf for the purposes of this Subclause without any further consent of, or consultation with, such Party. 34.12 REPLACEMENT OF LENDER (a) If at any time an Obligor becomes obliged to repay any amount in accordance with Subclauses 12.1 (Mandatory prepayment - illegality under the Global Facility) or 12.2 (Mandatory prepayment - illegality under the South African Facility) or to pay additional amounts pursuant to Subclause 17.1 (Increased Costs) or Subclause 16.2 (Tax gross-up) to any Lender in excess of amounts payable to the other Lenders generally, then the Company may, on 20 Business Days' prior written notice to the Coordinating Facility Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer under this Clause all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a REPLACEMENT LENDER) selected by the Company, and which is acceptable to the Coordinating Facility Agent, the relevant Facility Agent (acting reasonably) and the relevant Issuing Bank, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender's participations on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the outstanding Loans and all accrued interest and/or Letter of Credit fees, Break Costs and other amounts payable to such Lender in relation thereto under the Finance Documents. (b) The replacement of a Lender under this Subclause shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Company shall have no right to replace any Agent; (ii) no Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Company to find a Replacement Lender; and (iii) in no event shall the Lender replaced under this Subclause be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents. 35. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION (a) Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information: (i) which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach by that Finance Party of this Clause; (ii) in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings; 128 (iii) if required to do so under any law or regulation; (iv) to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority; (v) to its officers, directors, employees and professional advisers; (vi) to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below; (vii) to another Obligor; or (viii) with the agreement of the relevant Obligor. (b) A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this Agreement (a PARTICIPANT): (i) a copy of any Finance Document; and (ii) any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document. However, before a participant may receive any confidential information, it must agree with the relevant Finance Party to keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a) above. (c) This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a Party. 36. SET-OFF A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor 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 an Obligor, 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. 37. PRO RATA SHARING - GLOBAL FACILITY 37.1 REDISTRIBUTION If any amount owing by an Obligor in respect of the Global Facility under this Agreement to a Finance Party (the RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY) is discharged by payment, set-off (including by means of set-off under Clause 36 (Set-off)) or any other manner other than in accordance with this Agreement (a RECOVERY), then: (a) the recovering Finance Party must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Global Facility Agent; (b) the Global Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed by the Global Facility Agent under this Agreement; and 129 (c) the recovering Finance Party must pay to the Global Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the REDISTRIBUTION). 37.2 EFFECT OF REDISTRIBUTION (a) The Global Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Finance Parties under the Global Facility, other than the recovering Finance Party, accordingly. (b) When the Global Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution. (c) If and to the extent that the recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. (d) If: (i) a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and (ii) the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 37.3 EXCEPTIONS Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: (a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or (b) it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where: (i) the recovering Finance Party notified the Global Facility Agent of those proceedings; and (ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them. 38. PRO RATA SHARING - SOUTH AFRICAN FACILITY 38.1 REDISTRIBUTION If any amount owing by an Obligor in respect of the South African Facility under this Agreement to a Finance Party (the RECOVERING FINANCE PARTY) is discharged by payment, set-off (including by 130 means of set-off under Clause 36 (Set-off))or any other manner other than in accordance with this Agreement (a RECOVERY), then: (a) the recovering Finance Party must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the South African Facility Agent; (b) the South African Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed by the South African Facility Agent under this Agreement; and (c) the recovering Finance Party must pay to the South African Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the REDISTRIBUTION). 38.2 EFFECT OF REDISTRIBUTION (a) The South African Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Finance Parties under the South African Facility, other than the recovering Finance Party, accordingly. (b) When the South African Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution. (c) If and to the extent that the recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. (d) If: (i) a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and (ii) the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 38.3 EXCEPTIONS Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: (a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or (b) it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where: (i) the recovering Finance Party notified the Global Facility Agent of those proceedings; and 131 (ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them. 39. SEVERABILITY If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any jurisdiction, that will not affect: (a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or (b) the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents. 40.

(d) Any communication given to the Company in connection with a Finance Document will be deemed to have been given also to the other Obligors. (e) Each Finance Party may assume that any communication made by the Company is made with the consent of each other Obligor. 134 41.5 USE OF WEBSITES (a) Except as provided below, the Company may deliver any information under this Agreement to a Lender by posting it on to an electronic website if: (i) the Coordinating Facility Agent and the Lender agree; (ii) the Company and the Coordinating Facility Agent designate an electronic website for this purpose; (iii) the Company notifies the Coordinating Facility Agent of the address of and password for the website; and (iv) the information posted is in a format agreed between the Company and the Coordinating Facility Agent.

LANGUAGE (a) Any notice given in connection with a Finance Document must be in English. (b) Any other document provided in connection with a Finance Document must be: (i) in English; or 135 (ii) (unless the Coordinating Facility Agent otherwise agrees) accompanied by a certified English translation. In this case, the English translation prevails unless the document is a statutory or other official document. 43. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement is governed by English law. 44. ENFORCEMENT 44.1 JURISDICTION (a) The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with any Finance Document. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, any New York State court or Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York also has jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with any Finance Document and for the benefit of the Finance Parties, each Obligor submits to the jurisdiction of those courts. (c) The English and New York courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute in connection with any Finance Document. Each Obligor agrees not to argue to the contrary and waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum, objection to venue or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with any Finance Document. (d) This Clause is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. To the extent allowed by law, a Finance Party may take: (i) proceedings in any other court; and (ii) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. (e) References in this Clause to a dispute in connection with a Finance Document includes any dispute as to the existence, validity or termination of that Finance Document. 44.2 SERVICE OF PROCESS (a) Each Obligor not incorporated in England and Wales irrevocably appoints Paul Hastings Administrative Services Limited as its agent under the Finance Documents for service of process in any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document. (b) Each Obligor not incorporated in New York State irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company as its agent for service of process in any proceedings before any New York State courts in connection with any Finance Document. (c) If any person appointed as process agent is unable under this Clause for any reason to so act, the Company (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within three days of the event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose. (d) Each Obligor agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate the relevant proceedings. 136 (e) This Clause does not affect any other method of service allowed by law. 44.3 WAIVER OF IMMUNITY Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) agrees not to claim any immunity from proceedings brought by a Finance Party against it in relation to a Finance Document and to ensure that no such claim is made on its behalf; (b) consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and (c) waives all rights of immunity in respect of it or its assets. 44.4 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FINANCE DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY ANY FINANCE DOCUMENT. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY COURT. 45. FORMALITIES 45.1 ESCRITURA PUBLICA (a) Each Spanish Obligor agrees that, at its cost, this Agreement, and any amendment to it, may, at the request of the Coordinating Facility Agent, be formalised in a Spanish notarial document (escritura publica). (b) Each Spanish Obligor acknowledges that the escritura publica will expressly state that a Finance Party is entitled to claim all amounts outstanding under the Finance Documents following any non-payment of principal by any Spanish Obligor. This does not prejudice the exercise of any other right or remedy of any Finance Party. 45.2 EXECUTIVE PROCEEDINGS (a) For the purpose of Article 571 et seq. of the Civil Procedural Law (Law 1/2000 of 7 January) (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil): (i) the amount due and payable under the Finance Documents that may be claimed in any executive proceedings will be contained in a certificate supplied by a Facility Agent or a Lender and will be based on the accounts maintained by that Facility Agent or that Lender in connection with this Agreement; and (ii) each Finance Party may (at the cost of the relevant Spanish Obligor) have the certificate notarised. (b) A Finance Party may start executive proceedings by presenting to the relevant court: (i) an original notarial copy of this Agreement; and (ii) a notarial document (acta notarial) incorporating the certificate of that Finance Party referred to in subparagraph (a)(i) above. 137 However, each Finance Party must notify the relevant Spanish Obligor of the details of the certificate at least 10 days before the start of the executive proceedings. 45.3 OREGON LAW Under Oregon law, most agreements, promises and commitments made by the Lenders concerning loans and other credit extensions which are not for personal, family or household purposes or secured solely by the borrower's residence must be in writing, express consideration and be signed by the Lenders to be enforceable. 46. USA PATRIOT ACT Each Global Lender notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the PATRIOT ACT), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Global Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Borrower will promptly provide this information upon request of a Global Lender. 47. COMPLETE AGREEMENT The Finance Documents contain the complete agreement between the Parties on the matters to which they are related and supersede all prior commitments, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, on those matters. THIS AGREEMENT has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement. 138 SIGNATORIES COMPANY UTI WORLDWIDE INC.
