2. THE FACILITY

Subject to, and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Master Purchase Agreements,
the Banks confirm their commitment to make available to the Company a committed buy/sell back
facility equal to the Facility Amount.

During the Facility Availability Period the Company may request funding under the Facility by
delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Funding Request Notice as set out in Clause 4 (Funding
Request Notice) below. If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, each Bank agrees
to make its participation in each such funding available in an amount not to exceed its respective
Commitment through each of the Banks, separately, by entering into Buy/Sell Back Transactions and
thereby purchasing pursuant to its respective Master Repurchase Agreement securities qualifying as
Eligible Securities.

The Company shall apply the funding for general working capital purposes. The Company may utilise
the Facility on a revolving basis, such that any amount “repaid” may be “redrawn” by the Company
during the Facility Availability Period. The Banks shall participate in the Facility, in each
funding under the Facility and in the purchase of the types and proportions of the Eligible
Securities which are the subject of the Transactions to be entered into pursuant to a funding
request, on a pro-rata and several basis equal to its respective share of the Facility Amount as
listed in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. No Bank shall have the amount of its participation increased
or reduced as a result of the failure of any other Bank to provide the amount of its participation.

3. MAIN TERMS OF THE REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

The maximum Term of any Transaction under the Repurchase Master Agreement shall be ninety (90)
days. No Transaction shall have a Repurchase Date falling after the Facility Termination Date.

appropriate, the Banks) until it has received such security as it may require for any cost, loss or
liability (together with any associated VAT) which it may incur in complying with the instructions.

In the absence of instructions from the Banks the Agent may act (or refrain from taking action) as
it considers to be in the best interest of the Banks.

12

 

The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Bank (without first obtaining that Bank’s
consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Facility Document.

Except as specifically provided in the Facility Documents the Mandated Lead Arrangers have no
obligation of any kind to any other party in connection with any Facility Document.

The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the other
parties and the Company.

Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving notice to the other parties and the Company, in which
case the Majority Banks (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent.

If the Majority Banks have not appointed a successor Agent within thirty (30) days after notice of
resignation was given, the Agent (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor
Agent (acting through an office in the European Union).

The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and
records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes
of performing its functions as Agent under the Facility Documents.

The Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further
obligation in respect of the Facility Documents. Its successor and each of the other parties shall
have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor
had been an original party.

After consultation with the Company, the Majority Banks may, by notice to the Agent, require it to
resign. In this event, the Agent shall resign as set out above.

In acting as agent for the parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency
division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or
departments.

If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as
confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have received
notice of it.

waiver thereof or of any other power or right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          dated June 25, 2008 between the Parties.
