To:       Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch as Facility Agent and L/C Bank
The Additional Facility Lenders

 

20 May 2011

 

Dear Sirs

 

Additional Facility Accession Deed (Revolving Facility)

 

This Deed is dated 20 May 2011 and relates to:

 

(a)          the facilities agreement dated 16 March 2010 as amended and
restated on 26th March 2010 and 15th February 2011 (the “Facilities Agreement”)
whereby certain facilities were made available to the Borrowers under the
guarantee of the Guarantors, by a group of banks and other financial
institutions on whose behalf Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch acts as Facility
Agent in connection therewith;

 

(b)          the HYD Intercreditor Agreement;

 

(c)          the Group Intercreditor Agreement; and

 

(d)          the Security Trust Agreement.

 

1.            Terms defined in the Facilities Agreement shall have the same
meaning in this Additional Facility Accession Deed.

 

2.            We refer to Clause 2.6 (Additional Facility) of the Facilities
Agreement.

 

3.            Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms of this Additional
Facility Accession Deed shall be consistent in all material respects with the
terms of the Facilities Agreement including, without limitation, with respect to
interest period, tax gross-up provisions and indemnity provisions,
representations and warranties, utilisation mechanics, cancellation and
prepayment (including the treatment of this Additional Facility Accession Deed
under the prepayment waterfall), fees, costs and expenses, transfers, voting,
amendments and waivers, financial and non-financial covenants and events of
default.

 

4.            No Utilisation may be made of the Additional Facility made
available pursuant to this Additional Facility Accession Deed, if, at the time
of such Utilisation, an Event of Default is continuing or would result from such
Utilisation.

 

5.            The obligations of the Additional Facility Lenders to make the
Additional Facility available shall be conditional upon the Facility Agent
having confirmed to the Company that it has received (or has waived in
accordance with the Facilities Agreement, the requirement to receive) the
documents listed in Appendix 4 (Conditions Precedent to Additional Facility
Utilisation) and that each is satisfactory, in form and substance, to the
Facility Agent, acting reasonably.  The Facility Agent shall notify the Company
and the Additional Facility Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

6.            Each Additional Facility Lender agrees to become a party to and be
bound by the terms of the Facilities Agreement as an Additional Facility Lender
in accordance with Clause 2.6 (Additional Facility).

 

7.            This Additional Facility is made as a revolving loan facility.
This Additional Facility shall be a “Revolving Facility” for the purposes of the
Facilities Agreement, and all provisions of the Facilities Agreement that apply
to the “Revolving Facility” shall apply to this Additional Facility as if set
out here in full mutatis mutandis, except for references to Revolving Facility
in (i) the definition of “Commitment”, (ii) clause 3.1 (Conditions Precedent)
and (iii) clause 16.1 (Commitment Fees), and except as otherwise varied or
superseded by the terms of this Additional Facility Accession Deed. In the case
of any inconsistency between this Additional Facility Accession Deed and the
Facilities Agreement, this Additional Facility Accession Deed shall prevail.

 

8.            The aggregate principal amount of the Additional Facility being
made available under this Additional Facility Accession Deed is £450,000,000.

 

9.            Each Additional Facility Lender’s Commitment under this Additional
Facility is as set forth in Appendix 1 hereto.

 

10.          Interest on the Additional Facility will accrue and be payable in
accordance with Clause 13 (Interest on Revolving Facility Advances) of the
Facilities Agreement. The Additional Facility Revolving Margin is, subject to
paragraph 11 below, 1.825% per annum.

 

11.          The provisions of Clause 13.3 (Margin Ratchet for Revolving
Facility Advances) shall apply to the Additional Facility with the following
amendments:

 

(a)     the words “not less than 6 months after the Original Execution Date” in
the first line of 13.3(a) shall be read as “on or after 31 December 2011”;

 

(b)     each reference to “the Revolving Margin” shall be construed as
references to the Additional Facility Revolving Margin;

 

(c)     the table set out in 13.3(a) shall be replaced by the following table:

Agreement and (ii) to the extent any amounts remain

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

after application in accordance with paragraph (i), for the purposes specified
in clause 2.4 (Purpose) of the Facilities Agreement. Clause 2.4(b) shall apply

Fees

 

14.          The following fees shall be payable in relation to this Additional
Facility:

 

(a)     the Borrowers shall pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each
relevant Additional Facility Lender (other than an Ancillary Facility Lender) a
commitment commission on the aggregate amount of such Additional Facility
Lender’s Available Commitment made available by it (other than an Ancillary
Facility) from day to day during the period beginning on the Utilisation Date
and ending on the Termination Date for the Additional Facility, such commitment
commission to be calculated at a rate of 35% of the applicable Additional
Facility Revolving Margin, payable in arrears on the last day of each successive
period of 3 months which ends during such period and on the Termination Date for
this Additional  Facility, provided that no commitment fee is payable to the
Facility Agent (for the account of an Additional Facility Lender) on any
Available Additional Facility Commitment of that Additional Facility Lender for
any day on which that Additional Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender; and

 

(b)     a utilisation fee shall be payable as an increment to, and at the same
time as, the interest payable on any Additional Facility Advances under this
Additional Facility, such increment to be calculated in accordance with this
paragraph (b) and applied to the Additional Facility Revolving Margin. The
increment shall be the number of basis points specified in the table below set
out opposite the percentage range which corresponds to the daily average of the
total outstanding amount of the Revolving Facility Advances during the relevant
Term in relation to which the interest is payable at that time as a percentage

(c)         the Borrowers intend to issue to the Facility Agent a notice of
voluntary prepayment relating to the Revolving Facility, pursuant to which each
L/C Lender’s obligations in respect of Existing Documentary Credits shall be
cancelled.

 

16.          Notwithstanding the notice of voluntary prepayment referred to in
paragraph 15(c) above and the Utilisation Request referred to in paragraph
15(b) above, the parties hereto agree that on the Utilisation Date:

the continuation of the Existing Documentary Credits in accordance with

Clause 2.6 (Additional Facility) are fulfilled as of the date of this Additional
