Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA 2007 which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the Borrower making the payment a certified copy of that Direction and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made, or (iv) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (a)(ii) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and (A) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the relevant UK Borrower or the Company and (B) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the relevant UK Borrower or the Company, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA 2007.

(iv) Within thirty days of making either a UK Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that UK Tax Deduction the Borrower making that UK Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the Recipient entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the UK ITA 2007 or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Recipient that the UK Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to HM Revenue & Customs.

(1) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement (or any amendment hereto) is entered into that (x) holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent on its signature page to this Agreement (or any amendment hereto) or otherwise in writing to the Company; and

(2) a Lender which is a UK Treaty Lender and which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement (or any amendment hereto) is entered into that (x) holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment or Assumption, Increasing Lender Supplement or Augmenting Lender Supplement, as the case may be, or otherwise in writing to the Company,

and having done so, that Lender shall not be under any obligation pursuant to paragraph (A) above.

(C) Upon satisfying either paragraph (A), (B)(1) or (B)(2) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligations under Section 2.17(f)(i) (in respect of a UK Tax Deduction).
(vii) If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.17(h)(vi)(B) above, the UK Borrower(s) making payments to that UK Treaty Lender shall make a UK Borrower DTTP filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if a UK Borrower making a payment to that UK Treaty Lender has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that UK Treaty Lender but:
(A) such UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for Tax within 60 days of the date of such UK Borrower DTTP Filing;

and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that UK Treaty Lender in writing of either (A) or (B) above, then such UK Treaty Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(viii) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.17(h)(vi)(B) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Custom DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.
(ix) Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement (a “Party”) after the date of this Agreement (a “New Lender”) shall indicate in the relevant Assignment and Assumption, Increasing Lender Supplement or Augmenting Lender Supplement (as applicable) which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower, which of the following categories it falls in: (i) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (ii) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (iii) a

9


UK Treaty Lender, and if the New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.17(h)(ix) then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the relevant UK Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption, Increasing Lender Supplement or Augmenting Lender Supplement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 2.17(h)(ix).
(i) VAT.
(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to this Agreement (a “Party”) to any Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Section 2.17(i)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any Party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party shall pay to such Recipient, as applicable, (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Recipient, as applicable, shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any Party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(A) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject 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 VAT Recipient will, where this Section 2.17(i)(ii)(A) applies, promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the VAT Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on the supply; and

(B) where the VAT Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv) Any reference in this Section 2.17(i) to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

10


(v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any Party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that Party must promptly provide details of its VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(ee)Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement is amended to (i) insert the parenthetical “(other than in respect of Designated Loans)” immediately after the phrase “denominated in Dollars” appearing therein, (ii) insert the phrase “or in respect of Designated Loans” immediately after the phrase “payments denominated in a Foreign Currency” appearing therein, (iii) insert the phrase “or Designated Loan, as applicable” immediately after the phrase “city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency” appearing therein, (iv) insert the phrase “or a Designated Loan” immediately after the phrase “Credit Event denominated in a Foreign Currency” appearing therein and (v) insert the phrase “or Designated Loan, as applicable” immediately after the phrase “the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency” the second time it appears therein.

(ff)Clause (b) of Section 2.19 of the Credit Agreement is amended to insert the parenthetical “(other than amounts in respect of Other Taxes or VAT)” immediately after the phrase “any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17” appearing therein.

(gg)Section 2.23 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the following sentence immediately at the end thereof as follows:

Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) other than as expressly set forth in Article X solely with respect to the Company, the parties hereto agree that the Obligations of the Borrowers are several in nature (and not the joint obligations of the Borrowers), including any obligations of Borrowers hereunder to make payments of principal and interest regarding the Loans, and (ii) the parties agree that the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers are not obligated to pay or otherwise liable for, and do not guaranty, collaterally support or otherwise have any responsibility (in any such case, either directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor or otherwise) with respect to, any Obligations of the Company or any other Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.
(hh)Section 3.07 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the following sentences immediately at the end thereof as follows:

In the case of a Luxembourg Borrower, (i) it complies with all legal requirements of the Luxembourg law of 31 May 1999, as amended, regarding the domiciliation of companies and (ii) the head office (administration centrale) and the place of effective management (siège de direction effective) are located at the place of their registered office (siège statutaire) in Luxembourg and, for the purposes of Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings, the centre of main interests (centre des intérêts principaux) is located at the place of its registered office (siège statutaire) in Luxembourg. For the purposes of The Council of the European Union Regulation No. 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings (the “Regulation”), the centre of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Regulation) of each UK Borrower is situated in England and Wales and it has no “establishment” (as that term is used in Article 2(h) of the Regulation) in any other jurisdiction.
(ii)Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the following sentence immediately at the end thereof as follows:

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to ensure that no UK Borrower shall do anything to change the location of its centre of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Regulation) from England and Wales.
(jj)Section 9.01(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended to (i) insert the parenthetical “(other than Designated Loans)” immediately after the phrase “denominated in Dollars” appearing therein and (ii) insert the phrase “and Designated Loans” immediately after the phrase “denominated in Foreign Currencies” appearing therein.

(kk)Section 9.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety as follows:

11
