(a) an Insolvency Event has occurred in respect of:
(i) the Parent; or
(ii) any of the Principal Companies and the Mezzanine

and in each case for so long as it is continuing;

Action in clause 1.1 (Definitions);
(c) the Majority Senior Creditors have enforced or instructed

the Mezzanine Credit Agreement by reason of a Senior
Default) and:-
(i) the Facility Agent has received a corresponding
Default Notice from the Mezzanine Facility Agent;
(ii) a period of not less than:
(A) 60 days in the case of a Mezzanine
Payment Default;
(B) 90 days in the case of any Mezzanine
Default under clause 10.1(b) of the

reason of a breach of the financial
covenants contained in clauses 13.1(f)
to (j) of the Mezzanine Credit Agreement
unless the continuing payment of
interest under clause 3 of the Mezzanine
Credit Agreement has been approved by
the Senior Lenders by notice in writing
from the Facility Agent to the Mezzanine
Facility Agent;
(C) 90 days in the case of any Major
Mezzanine Default; or
(D) 120 days in the case of any Other
Mezzanine Default,
has passed from the date of receipt by the
Facility Agent of the relevant Default Notice (a
"Standstill Period");
(iii) the Mezzanine Facility Agent:
(A) has obtained from an independent
investment bank and/or firm of
accountants, in each case of
international standing, a valuation of
the Guarantor's Group;
-10-
(B) provided a copy of that valuation to the
Facility Agent; and
(C) on the basis of that valuation
determines (acting reasonably) having
consulted with the Facility Agent (also
acting reasonably) that the value of the
Guarantor's Group if sold or otherwise
disposed of at that time at the value
shown in the valuation would be
sufficient to repay the Senior Debt in
full and to repay in whole or in part
the Mezzanine Debt; and
(iv) at the end of the relevant Standstill Period, the
Relevant Mezzanine Default is continuing and has
not been waived by the Majority Mezzanine Lenders.
5.6 Subsequent Mezzanine Defaults
The Mezzanine Finance Parties will have the right to take Enforcement
Action under clause 5.5 (Permitted Enforcement Action) in relation to
a Relevant Mezzanine Default notwithstanding that, at the time
referred to in clause 5.5(d)(ii) (Permitted Enforcement Action) or at
any later time, another Standstill Period has commenced as a result of
a further Mezzanine Default.
5.7 Financial covenant defaults
For the purposes of clause 5.5(d)(ii) (Permitted Enforcement Action),
if the Relevant Mezzanine Default arose as a result of a breach of the
financial covenants contained in clauses 13.1(f) to (j) of the
Mezzanine Credit Agreement, it will be deemed remedied if the Parent
has re-established compliance with all the provisions of clauses
13.1(f) to (j) as if the date (being the date on which compliance with
such financial covenants was tested in accordance with the Mezzanine
Credit Agreement) at which the covenant was in fact breached was
deemed postponed to fall immediately prior to the point in time the
Mezzanine Finance Parties (or any of them) propose to take Enforcement
Action. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 5.7 will
prevent the Mezzanine Finance Parties from implementing the provisions
of clause 5.5 (Permitted Enforcement Action) in respect of subsequent
breaches of clauses 13.1(f) to (j) occurring after such full
compliance has been re-established.

(c) any Group Company makes any payment or distribution of any
