9.1 Calculation of interest

(a) Margin; and

(b) LIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in euro, EURIBOR.

9.2 Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than 6 Months, on the dates falling at 6 monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

Less than or equal to 2.50:1 and greater than 2.00:1	1.80
Less than or equal to 2.00:1 and greater than 1.5:1	1.55
Less than or equal to 1.5:1 and greater than 1:1	1.30
Less than or equal to 1:1	1.05

(i) the date that is 5 Business Days after the date of receipt by the Agent of the relevant Compliance Certificate or,

(ii) if the relevant Compliance Certificate is not delivered on time, on the last date on which that Compliance Certificate should have been delivered pursuant to clause 20.2(a) (Compliance Certificate) of this Agreement.

(e) For so long as an Event of Default is continuing, or a Compliance Certificate relating to financial statements for a Relevant Period has not been delivered by the Company within the applicable period and remains outstanding, the Margin will be the highest applicable rate, being 2.30% per annum.

37

CONFORMED COPY

(f) If the Margin has been calculated on the basis of a Compliance Certificate but would have been higher if it had been based on the subsequent financial statements of the Group, the Margin will instead be calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements of the Group. If, in this event, any amount of interest has been paid by a Borrower on the basis of the Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must immediately on demand pay to the Agent any shortfall in the amount which would have been paid to the Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements.

9.4 Default interest

Any interest accruing under this clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b) If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 1% per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

11.1 Unavailability of Screen Rate

(b) Cost of funds: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR for:

(i) the currency of a Loan; or

(ii) the Interest Period of a Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate,

11.2 Market disruption

If before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35% of that Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from the wholesale market for the relevant currency would be in excess of LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR then clause 11.3 shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

11.3 Cost of funds

(b) Each Finance Party agrees not to enforce the guarantee and indemnity (the Guarantee) created under this Agreement by a German Guarantor against a German Guarantor if and to the extent that Guarantee guarantees any liability of an Obligor which is a shareholder or an Affiliate (verbundenes Unternehmen) of a shareholder of that German Guarantor (other than that German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries) (the Guaranteed Obligor) if and to the extent that a payment under the Guarantee would cause such German Guarantor’s (or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partners’) Net Assets (determined pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d) and/or (e) below) to be reduced below zero, or further reduced if already below zero.

If and to the extent that the Net Assets as determined by the Auditors’ Determination are lower than the amount enforced in accordance with the Management Determination, the Agent shall release to the relevant German Guarantor (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor to its general partner) such excess enforcement proceeds promptly upon the written demand by such German Guarantor, provided that such demand for repayment is made within one (1) month from the date of the enforcement of the Guarantee. The Agent may withhold any amount received pursuant to an enforcement of this Guarantee until final determination of the amount of the Net Assets pursuant to the Auditors’ Determination.

(g) In addition, each German Guarantor and, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, also its general partner, shall within two (2) months after receipt of the Enforcement Notice realise, to the extent legally permitted and at arm’s length terms, any and all of its assets which are not required for the relevant German Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially lower than the market value of the relevant assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the Guarantee, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero.

Such calculation shall, upon the Agent’s request, be confirmed by an auditor within a period of 15 Business Days following the respective request.

(B) a reasonably possible risk of any criminal liability based on the advice of its legal counsel if such Subsidiary was to provide a guarantee and/or Security for the Facility; or

(iv) in the case of any Non Wholly Owned Subsidiary, by reason of any applicable restriction contained in any relevant constitutional document, shareholders’ agreement, joint venture agreement or similar agreement.

This clause 24.2(e) shall not apply:

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations);
