ARTICLE 3 - SHARING AND ENFORCEMENT

 

Section 3.01.                         Application of Distribution Moneys

 

(a)                                 Unless and until the whole of the Amount Outstanding has been paid in full, all Distribution Moneys shall, as among the 2010 Security Trustee, the 2011 Trustee, the 2014 Term Loan Agent, the 2014 RCF Agent and the 2014 Trustee, be applied and divided as follows:

 

(1)                                 first, pro rata in paying all proper costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in the enforcement of the Security or any part thereof or otherwise in collecting Distribution Moneys, which will be pro rata to the Amount Outstanding under the 2010 Notes Debt, the 2011 Notes Debt, the 2014 Term Loan Debt, the 2014 RCF Debt and the 2014 Notes Debt respectively;

 

(2)                                 next, pro rata in paying to each of the Secured Parties the part of the Amount Outstanding which is due and payable to it in respect of the 2010 Notes Debt, the 2011 Notes Debt, the 2014 Term Loan Debt, the 2014 RCF Debt and the 2014 Notes Debt, respectively, and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.01(b); and

 

(3)                                 last, in paying the surplus (if any) to the person or persons entitled thereto.

 

(b)                                 If the Distribution Moneys are or may be insufficient to pay in full all amounts due under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, then the Distribution Moneys shall be apportioned for payment under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, ratably and without preference or priority between the Secured Parties in the proportions that the part of the Amount Outstanding which is due in respect of, respectively, the 2010 Notes Debt, the 2011 Notes Debt, the 2014 Term Loan Debt, the 2014 RCF Debt and the 2014 Notes Debt at the date of such payment bears to the whole of the Amount Outstanding at such date.  Pending such payment, such Distribution Moneys shall be held in a segregated interest-bearing deposit account, and interest thereon shall form part of the Distribution Moneys for payment under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2).

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the existence of a Foreign Exchange Event, none of the Secured Parties shall be required to share with the others any Distribution Moneys in a currency other than the local currency of the jurisdiction of such recovery (in this Section 3.01(c) referred to as the “Local Currency”) or proceeds

Section 3.02.                         Notional Conversion of Amounts

 

For the purposes of determining the respective entitlements of the Secured Parties between themselves at any time or from time to time to any Distribution Moneys, the Secured Parties shall use Euro as the currency of reference.  Any amounts expressed in currencies other than Euro shall be notionally converted into Euro at the effective rate of exchange for buying Euro on the date of such payment as notified by the European Central Bank.  If, in the case of any particular currency, there is no such effective rate of exchange on such date, any amount expressed in that currency shall be notionally converted into Euro at such rate of exchange as may be reasonably determined by the 2010 Notes Trustee (in respect of the 2010 Notes Debt), the 2011 Trustee (in respect of the 2011 Notes Debt), the 2014 Term Loan Agent (in respect of the 2014 Term Loan Debt), the 2014 RCF Agent (in respect of the 2014 RCF Debt) and the 2014 Trustee (in respect of the 2014 Notes Debt) on the basis of the most recent information provided by the International Monetary Fund.

 

Section 3.03.                         Trust

 

In the event that any of the Secured Parties receives any Distribution Moneys in excess of their respective entitlement under this Article, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the remaining Secured Parties and hold any such excess moneys in trust for the remaining Secured Parties, to whom it shall account therefor as soon as the respective entitlement of each of the Secured Parties has been established pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
