Interest will accrue on the Advance at the rate of 7% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will, subject to the Intercreditor Deed, be payable semi-annually in cash, in arrears two Business Days prior to 15 February and 15 August of each year, commencing on 15 August 2003; provided that payment of the amount by which any such interest payment exceeds the total of (A) interest on the Notes, (B) Additional Amounts and (C) Additional Interest, in each case, payable in cash on the next succeeding interest payment date with respect to the Notes may, at the Borrower's election, be deferred until such time when the Borrower elects to make such payment and in any event no later than the date on which the Advance is repaid in full. All such interest paid in cash shall be transferred in same day funds to such account or accounts with such person or persons as the Lender may designate to the Borrower for this purpose.

3.2 Effective global rate

For the purpose of articles L. 313-1 et seq of the Code de la consommation, the effective global rate ("taux effectif global") payable by the Borrower under this Agreement is 7.91% per annum.

3.3 Increased Costs

4. MATURITY, PREPAYMENT AND REPAYMENT

4.1 Maturity

The Borrower will, subject to the Intercreditor Deed, repay the Advance, together with any other sums then owed by it under this Agreement, upon the earlier of (A) prior written demand being made by the Lender and (B) the date specified in either clause 4.2 or clause 4.3.

4.2 Repayment

Except pursuant to clauses 4.1 and 4.3, at any time while any Notes are outstanding, the Borrower may not, without the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, prepay, repay, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire the Advance, except as a consequence of the extinguishment, by operation of law, of the Advance in connection with a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination transaction between the Borrower and the Lender which complies with the Indenture and as a consequence of which the Borrower or the Lender ceases to have separate legal existence. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the Intercreditor Deed, the Advance may be prepaid or reduced at any time to facilitate or otherwise accommodate or reflect a redemption or repurchase of outstanding Notes by the Lender. Where any redemption premium is payable by the Lender in respect of Notes to be redeemed, a repayment premium of an equivalent amount shall, subject to the Intercreditor Deed, be payable by the Borrower in respect of that part of the Advance which is prepaid in order to facilitate such redemption.

4.3 Automatic Acceleration

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation to the Borrower, the Advance and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice.

5. PAYMENTS

5.1 Method of Payment

(a): All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder are to be made in immediately cleared funds not later than 10 a.m. (London time) on the date in question.
(b): All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder will be made in euro, provided that notwithstanding that the Advance is denominated in euro, the Borrower may make payments in the US Dollar Equivalent if the Lender so agrees.

5.2 No Payment into Charged Accounts

No payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder may be made into any Charged Account and any payment which is so made shall not constitute a valid discharge of the Borrower's obligations under this Agreement.

5.3 No Withholding

All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement must be made in full without set-off or counterclaim and not subject to any condition and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes or any other purpose. If any deduction or withholding for or on account of taxes or any other deduction from any payment made or to be made by the Borrower to the Lender is required by law, then the Borrower will:

(a)

ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;

(b)

pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities within the period for payment permitted by the applicable law, the amount which is required to be paid in consequence of the deduction (including the full amount of any deduction from any additional amount paid under this Clause 5);

(c)

promptly pay to the Lender an additional amount equal to the amount required to procure that the aggregate net amount received by the Lender will equal the full amount which would have been received by it if no such deduction or withholding had been made; and

(d)

indemnify the Lender against any losses incurred by it by reason of:

(i): any failure by the Lender to make any deduction or withholding; or
(ii): any such additional amount not being paid on the due date for payment of that amount.

6. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

At any time while any Notes are outstanding, no amendment or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be made by the Lender or the Borrower unless such amendment or waiver is permitted by and made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and any amendment or waiver made in contravention of this Clause 6 shall be void.

7. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude further or other exercise of any right, remedy or power, whether the same or any other right, remedy or power.

8. SUBORDINATION

8.1 Agreement to Subordinate

The Borrower, for itself and its successors, and the Lender, agree that the payment of the principal, interest and all other amounts on or with respect to the Advance is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Clause 8, to the prior payment in full in cash of all sums due and payable under all Senior Debt of the Borrower whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter incurred.

This Clause 8 shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt of the Borrower, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt of the Borrower, and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

8.2 Subordination

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors of the Borrower upon an Insolvency Event of the Borrower, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Debt of the Borrower shall first be paid in full, or provision shall have been made for such payment, in cash or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of the Borrower, before any payment is made on account of amounts due by the Borrower under this Agreement. Following such Insolvency Event, any payment or distribution of assets in accordance with the foregoing shall be applied in priority by the Borrower or by any receiver, trustee, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator, agent or other person making such payment or distribution towards the discharge of Senior Debt of the Borrower.

8.3 Turnover

In the event that the Lender receives any payment on or with respect to the Advance at a time when such payment is prohibited by Clause 8.2, such payment will be held by the Lender in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt of the Borrower for application to the payment of such Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such obligations in full in cash in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt of the Borrower. As between the Lender and the Borrower, the Advance shall be deemed not to have been reduced to the extent of any amounts turned over in accordance with this clause 8.3.

8.4 Intercreditor Arrangements

In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, the Advance shall constitute "High Yield Notes Funding Bonds Debt" for purposes of the Existing Intercreditor Deed and the Advance and the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to all provisions of such intercreditor deed until the Final Discharge Date (as defined in the Existing Intercreditor Deed (the "Final Discharge Date")).

At any time following the Final Discharge Date, each of the Borrower and the Lender agree to (and are authorised to) enter into such new Intercreditor Agreement(s) as may be necessary or required by future holders of Designated Senior Debt of the Borrower to ensure that the Advance is subordinated to such future Designated Senior Debt on the same terms as the Advance is currently subordinated to the Existing Senior Credit Facility pursuant to the Existing Intercreditor Deed as in effect on the date hereof. Such new Intercreditor Agreement may include any or all of the provisions dealing with payment blockages, remedy bars and restrictions on enforcement, turnover obligations and subrogation rights. The execution, delivery and performance of any such new intercreditor agreement is authorised and permitted without any action by any third party, for purposes of clause 16 of this agreement.

In addition, the Borrower and the Lender agree to (and are authorised to) enter into such new Intercreditor Agreement(s) as may be necessary or required by future holders of Senior Debt of the Borrower which does not constitute Designated Senior Debt to ensure that the Advance is subordinated to such future Senior Debt on the terms set out in clauses 8.1 to 8.3 hereof.
