          WHEREAS, certain of the Parties entered into a Facilities Agreement dated 31 July 2009 (as
amended on 25 September 2009) (the “Facilities Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, certain of the Parties entered into a Security Sharing Agreement dated 25 September

          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

          Unless a contrary intention appears in this Global Amendment, any word or expression defined
in the Facilities Agreement, the Subordination Agreement or the Security Sharing Agreement (as
applicable) shall have the same meaning when it is used in this Global Amendment.

          The Parties hereby acknowledge that as a result of a technical error (“erreur matérielle”) the
SG Forward Financing Agreement is incorrectly referred to in the Security Sharing Agreement as
having been executed on 25 September 2009 while it was the intention of the parties thereto to
execute the SG Forward Financing Agreement on 29 September 2009.

          The Parties hereby recognize that such technical error (“erreur matérielle”) does not affect
in any manner whatsoever the validity and binding nature of the Security Sharing Agreement or any
of its provisions and the Parties thereto hereby confirm that the Security Sharing Agreement is in
effect as from the date of its execution (i.e., 25 September 2009).

          Each Party hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the SG Forward Financing
Agreement and confirms that it is satisfactory to it.

          The Parties to the Security Sharing Agreement hereby further agree that the Security Sharing
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “SG Forward Financing Agreement”
appearing in clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Security Sharing Agreement and inserting the following
definition in lieu thereof:

““SG Forward Financing Agreement” means the term loan agreement to be entered into on 29
September 2009 among the SG Financing Debtor as borrower, Parent as guarantor, Biarritz
Holdings S.à r.l. as guarantor and Société Générale as lender.”.

 

 

          The Parties hereby agree that any reference to the SG Forward Financing Agreement in any
Finance Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the SG Forward Financing Agreement as defined
