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 between the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Trustee and the 2010 Security 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 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt respectively;

 

 

8

 

 

	 	
(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 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 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 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 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 of any Distribution Moneys which it recovers pro rata in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) in any currency other than the Local Currency.

 

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 2007 Trustee (in respect of the 2007 Notes Debt), the 2008 Trustee (in respect of the 2008 Notes Debt), the 2009 Note Trustee (in respect of the 2009 Notes Debt), the 2010 Note Trustee (in respect of the 2010 Notes Debt) and the 2010 Agent (in respect of the 2010 RCF Debt) on the basis of the most recent information provided by the International Monetary Fund.

 

 

9

 

 

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.

(e) 

	
If any of the Security becomes enforceable, the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) and the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) may (but shall not be obliged to) consult with the other Secured Parties and endeavour to agree a course of action under the Finance Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that any of the Security has become enforceable, the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) and the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) may, by notice to the other Secured Parties (an “Enforcement Notice”), request a joint enforcement of the Security in accordance with paragraph (g).

 

	
(f) 

	
For the avoidance of doubt:

 

	 	
(i) 

	
if a Party shall have served an Enforcement Notice on its Subsequent Parties, such Subsequent Parties (and in the context of the 2010 Debt, the 2010 Agent and the 2010 Note Trustee (as applicable)) shall declare such amount of the Amount Outstanding owed to such Subsequent Parties (and in the context of the 2010 Debt, the 2010 Agent and the 2010 Note Trustee (as applicable)) to be immediately due and payable, and such Subsequent Parties shall co-operate with the Party that has served the Enforcement Notice to enforce all relevant Security on a pari passu basis and in accordance with the provisions of, sub-paragraphs (i)-(iii) of 3.04(g) below; and

 

	 	
(ii) 

	
if a Party shall have served an Enforcement Notice on its Prior Parties, such Prior Parties may declare such amount of the Amount Outstanding owing to such Prior Parties to be immediately due and payable and co-operate with the Party that has served the Enforcement Notice, but shall not be required to do so, and (A) if any such Prior Parties elect to so cooperate, then the co-operating parties shall enforce all relevant Security on a pari passu basis and in accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraphs (i)-(iii) of 3.04(g) below, and (B) if all such Prior Parties elect not to cooperate and not to enforce, then the Party that has served the Enforcement Notice may enforce independently, as contemplated by the provisions of 3.04(h) below.

 

 

11

 

 

	
(g) 

	
If an Enforcement Notice is served by the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) and/or the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) then the Secured Parties (and in the context of the 2010 Debt, the 2010 Agent and the 2010 Note Trustee (as applicable)) shall (to the extent not already so due and payable) declare all amounts of the 2007 Notes Debt, the 2008 Notes Debt, the 2009 Notes Debt and the 2010 Debt, respectively, to be immediately due and payable under Section 6.2 of the 2007 Indenture, Section 6.02 of the 2008 Indenture, Section 6.2 of the 2009 Indenture Section 6.2 of the 2010 Indenture or Clause 23.19 of the 2010 RCF and shall co-operate with each other to enforce the Security on a pari passu basis and in accordance with the following provisions:

 

	 	
(i) 

	
the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security and the 2010 Security shall be enforced jointly and, so far as practicable, by the same method;

 

	 	
(ii) 

	
such enforcement will be effected with the aim of maximising recoveries with the objective of achieving an expeditious realisation of assets subject to the Security; and

 

	 	
(iii) 

	
in the case of the exercise of a power of sale in accordance with the Security Documents, each of the Secured Parties shall execute such release or other necessary document so as to permit a good title free from any Security to be passed to the purchasers.

 

	
(h)

	
For the avoidance of doubt, neither the 2007 Trustee, the 2008 Trustee, the 2009 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2009 Note Trustee) nor the 2010 Security Trustee (acting on instructions of the 2010 Notes Trustee and/or the 2010 Agent, as the case may be) shall be prevented from separately commencing enforcement action under the 2007 Notes Security, the 2008 Notes Security, the 2009 Notes Security or the 2010 Security (as applicable), at any time prior to an Enforcement Notice having been served by the other Secured Parties, provided that, such Secured Party seeking to enforce its Security has delivered an Enforcement Notice on the other Secured Parties prior to commencing such action.

 

	 	
(i) 

	
Each of the Secured Parties shall keep the other Secured Parties informed of any proceedings to enforce the Security or any part thereof, any other proceedings against the Company and any other material matters which may affect the operation of this Agreement.

(b)

	
A Relevant Creditor’s proportion of the loss or liability set out in paragraph (a) above is the proportion which the amount owing to that Relevant Creditor bears to the aggregate of all the amounts owing to all the Relevant Creditors on the date the loss or liability was incurred by the Security Agent.

any default by any Obligor in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in the Finance Documents; or

	
  

	
(ii)

	
which otherwise relates to any of the Transaction Security or any other amounts or property which the Security Agent is required by the terms of the Finance Documents to hold as trustee on trust or the performance of the terms of this Agreement (otherwise than as a result of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct).

	
  

	
(e)

	
Each Obligor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the continuation of its indemnity obligations under paragraph (d) above will not be prejudiced by any release or disposal in accordance with this Agreement.

	
  

	
(f)

	
The Security Agent and every Receiver and Delegate may, in priority to any payment to the Relevant Creditors, indemnify itself out of the assets which from time to time are, or are expressed to be, the subject of the Transaction Security, in respect of, and pay and retain, all sums necessary to give effect to the indemnity in paragraph (d) above and shall have a lien on the Transaction Security and the proceeds of the enforcement of the Transaction Security for all moneys payable to it.

33

  

	
  

	
(c)

	
If no successor Security Agent has been appointed under paragraph (a) above within 30 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Security Agent may appoint a successor Security Agent to it.

(f)

	
The resignation of a Security Agent and the appointment of a successor Security Agent will both become effective only when the resigning Security Agent has assigned to the successor Security Agent any independent rights of the resigning Security Agent in its individual capacity under any of the Relevant Finance Documents by an assignment not constituting a novation of debt and to the extent legally possible not having any negative effect on the Transaction Security Documents executed in favour of the resigning Security Agent, the benefit of which shall be explicitly reserved to the successor Security Agent.

	
  

	
(g)

An Obligor must (at its own cost after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing or where the resignation of the Security Agent was due to an act or omission of any of the Obligor) take any action and execute any document which is reasonably required by the Security Agent so that a Transaction Security Document provides for effective and perfected security in favour of any successor Security Agent.

  

34

  

	
18.14

In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under this Agreement where either:

	
  

	
(i)

	
it has not received any instructions from the Majority Creditors as to the exercise of that discretion; or

	
  

	
(ii)

	
the exercise of that discretion is subject to clause 18.5(g)(iv) above,

the Security Agent may do so having regard to the interests of all the Relevant Creditors.

(i)

	
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Security Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with instructions given in accordance with this Agreement or taking any action in the exercise of any of its rights, powers and duties under the Finance Documents until it has received such security as it may require for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated VAT or other taxes) which it may incur in complying with such instructions or taking such action.

(ii)

	
without prejudice to the other provisions of the Finance Documents.

	
  

	
(d)

	
Each Parallel Debt of an Obligor is an obligation of such Obligor that is a separate and independent obligation from such Obligor’s Underlying Debt.  Each Parallel Debt represents the Security Agent’s own independent right to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from the relevant Obligor.

	
  

	
(e)

	
No Obligor may pay any Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the Security Agent provided that no Obligor shall be obliged to pay any Parallel Debt before corresponding Underlying Debt has fallen due.

	
  

	
(f)

	
Any payment made, or amount recovered, in respect of an Obligor’s Parallel Debt shall reduce the Underlying Debt to a Finance Party by the amount which that Finance Party has received out of that payment or recovery under the Finance Documents.

  

37

  

	
18.21

(ii)

	
for the purpose of complying with any law, regulation or other condition in any relevant jurisdiction; or

	
  

	
(iii)

	
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment against any Obligor or enforcing any Relevant Finance Document against any Obligor in any jurisdiction,

provided that such appointment shall not impair the ranking of the Transaction Security created in favour of the Relevant Creditors or result in new hardening periods commencing in respect of it.

	
  

	
(b)

	
Any appointment under this paragraph (b) will only be effective if the co-security agent confirms to the Security Agent and the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Security Agent.

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Security Agent may remove any co-security agent appointed by it and may appoint a new co-security agent in its place.

	
  

	
(d)

38

  

	
  

	
(ii)

	
to confer on the Security Agent, on behalf of the Relevant Creditors, Security over any property and assets of that Obligor or Group Company located in any jurisdiction equivalent or similar to the Transaction Security intended to be conferred by or pursuant to the Transaction Security Documents.

	
  

	
(b)

	
The Company and each Obligor shall and the Parent shall procure that each other Group Company which is a party to a Relevant Finance Document shall take all such action as is available to it (including making all filings and registrations) as may be necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection, protection or maintenance or release (including (without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt) in respect of any confirmation and extension of the Security created under the Transaction Security Documents) of any Security conferred or intended to be conferred on the Security Agent, on behalf of the Relevant Creditors, by or pursuant to the Transaction Security Documents.

	
18.24

	
Currency conversion

Any rate, method and sate so specified will be binding on all Parties.
