request that the Commitments relating to any Facility be increased (and the Commitments relating to that Facility shall be so increased) in an aggregate amount in the Base Currency of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Commitments relating to that Facility so cancelled as follows:

(iii)

the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an "Increase Lender") selected by the German Borrower (each of which shall not be a member of the Group) and each of which confirms in writing (whether in the relevant Increase Confirmation or otherwise) its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender;

(iv)	each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(v)

each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(ii)

in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase the Agent being satisfied that it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments by that Increase Lender. The Agent shall promptly notify the German Borrower, the Increase Lender upon being so satisfied.

(c)

Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective.

(d)	The Borrowers shall, promptly on demand, pay the Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2.

(e)

The Increase Lender shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee in an amount equal to the fee which would be payable under Clause 26.3 (Assignment or transfer fee) if the increase was a transfer pursuant to Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer) and if the Increase Lender was a New Lender.

(f)

The German Borrower may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the German Borrower and the Increase Lender in a letter between the German Borrower and the Increase Lender setting out that fee.

(g)	Clause 26.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to:

(i)	an "Existing Lender" were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase;

(ii)	the "New Lender" were references to that "Increase Lender"; and

a "re-transfer" and "re-assignment" were references to respectively a "transfer" and "assignment".

2.3	Finance Parties' rights and obligations

(a)

The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(b)	The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor shall be a separate and independent debt.

7.2	Availability

(a)

If the German Borrower and a Lender agree and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Lender may provide an Ancillary Facility on a bilateral basis in place of all or part of that Lender's unutilised Commitment (which shall (except for the purpose of determining the Majority Lenders) be reduced by the amount of the Ancillary Commitment under that Ancillary Facility) provided that the aggregate Base Currency Amount of all Ancillary Commitments may at no time exceed EUR 30,000,000.

(b)	An Ancillary Facility shall not be made available unless, not later than five Business Days prior to the Ancillary Commencement Date for an Ancillary Facility, the Agent has received from the German Borrower:

No amendment or waiver of a term of any Ancillary Facility shall require the consent of any Finance Party other than the relevant Ancillary Lender unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Clause). In such a case, the provisions of this Agreement with regard to amendments and waivers will apply.

(c)	Subject to compliance with paragraph (b) above:

(i)	the Lender concerned will become an Ancillary Lender; and

(ii)	the Ancillary Facility will be available,

with effect from the date agreed by the relevant Borrower and the Ancillary Lender.

(a)	Except as provided below, the terms of any Ancillary Facility will be those agreed by the Ancillary Lender and the relevant Borrower.

(b)	However, those terms:

(i)	must be based upon normal commercial terms at that time (except as varied by this Agreement);

(iii)

may not allow the Ancillary Outstandings to exceed the Ancillary Commitment;

(iv)	may not allow the Ancillary Commitment of a Lender to exceed the Available Commitment of that Lender;

(vi)

must require that the Ancillary Commitment is reduced to zero, and that all Ancillary Outstandings are repaid (or cash cover provided in respect of all the Ancillary Outstandings) not later than the Termination Date for the Facility (or such earlier date as the Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender (or its Affiliate) is reduced to zero).

(c)

If there is any inconsistency between any term of an Ancillary Facility and any term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail except for (i) 34.3(Day count convention) which shall not prevail for the purposes of calculating fees, interest or commission relating to an Ancillary Facility and (ii) an Ancillary Facility comprising more than one account where the terms of the Ancillary Documents shall prevail.

(a)	An Ancillary Facility shall cease to be available on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which its expiry date occurs or on which it is cancelled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)	If an Ancillary Facility expires in accordance with its terms the Ancillary Commitment of the Ancillary Lender shall be reduced to zero (and its Available Commitment shall be increased accordingly).

(c)

No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment or prepayment of any amounts made available, or demand cash cover for any liabilities incurred, by it under its Ancillary Facility (except where the Ancillary Facility is provided on a net limit basis to the extent required to bring any gross outstandings down to the net limit) unless:

(i)	the Total Commitments have been cancelled in full, or all outstanding Loans have become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the Agent has declared all outstanding Loans immediately due and payable, or the expiry date of the Ancillary Facility occurs; or

(ii)	it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the Ancillary Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in its Ancillary Facility.

(d)	On the making of a Loan to refinance Ancillary Outstandings:

(i)

each Lender will participate in that Loan in an amount (as determined by the Agent) which will result as nearly as possible in the aggregate amount of its participation in Loans then outstanding bearing the same proportion to the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding as its Commitment bears to the Total Commitments; and

(ii)	the relevant Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled.

7.5	Ancillary Outstandings

Each Borrower and each Ancillary Lender agrees with and for the benefit of each Lender that the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility provided by that Ancillary Lender shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment applicable to that Ancillary Facility and where the Ancillary Facility is an overdraft facility comprising more than one account, Ancillary Outstandings under that Ancillary Facility shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount in respect of that Ancillary Facility.

7.7	Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Lenders

(a)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of a Lender may become an Ancillary Lender.

For the purposes of calculating the Lender's Available Commitment with respect to the Facility, the Lender's Commitment shall be reduced to the extent of the aggregate of the Ancillary Commitments of its Affiliates.

(b)	The relevant Borrower shall specify any relevant Affiliate of a Lender in any notice delivered by the relevant Borrower to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of Clause 7.2(Availability).

(c)	An Affiliate of a Lender which becomes an Ancillary Lender shall accede to this Agreement by delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Affiliate Accession Undertaking.

7.8	Commitment Amounts

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement each Lender shall ensure that at all times its Commitment is not less than:

(a)	its Ancillary Commitment; or

(b)	the Ancillary Commitment of its Affiliate.

SECTION 4

REPAYMENT, PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

REPAYMENT

8.1	Repayment of Loans

(a)	Each Borrower which has drawn a Loan shall repay that Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

(b)	Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligation under paragraph (a) above, if:

(i)	one or more Loans are to be made available to a Borrower:

(A)	on the same day that a maturing Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower;

(B)	in the same currency as the maturing Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of Clause 6.2 (Unavailability of a currency)); and

(C)	in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan; and

(ii)	the proportion borne by each Lender's participation in the maturing Loan to the amount of that maturing Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender's participation in the new Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Loans,

the aggregate amount of the new Loans shall, unless the relevant Borrower notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Loan so that:

(A)	if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Loans:

(1)	the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

(2)

each Lender's participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's participation in the maturing Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans; and

(B)	if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Loans:

(1)	the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent); and

(2)

each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Loans exceeds that Lender's participation in the maturing Loan and the remainder of that Lender's participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's participation in the maturing Loan.

(c)

At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date and will be treated as separate Loans (the "Separate Loans") denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding.

(d)	A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving 10 Business Days' prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

(e)

Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan.

(f)	The terms of this Agreement relating to Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (c) to (e) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan.

9.	PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

9.1	Illegality

If it becomes unlawful after the date of this Agreement in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or participate in any Loan and without prejudice to its rights and obligations under Clause 18 (Mitigation by the Lenders):

(b)	upon the Agent notifying the German Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers), the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

(c)

upon cancellation of such Lender's Commitment, each Borrower shall repay that Lender's participation in the Loans made to that Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan outstanding as at the date upon which the Agent has so notified the German Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).

9.2	Voluntary cancellation

The German Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than ten (10) days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior written notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of EUR 10,000,000) of the Available Facility. Any cancellation under this Clause 9.2 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably.

9.3	Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender

(a)

If:

(i)	any sum payable to any Lender by an Obligor is required to be increased under Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(ii)	any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrowers under Clause 15.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 16.1 (Increased costs);

(iii)

any Lender notifies the Agent of its Additional Cost Rate under paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 (Mandatory Cost formulae); or

(iv)	at any time on or after the date which is one month before the earliest FATCA Application Date for any payment by a Party to a Lender, that Lender is not, or has ceased to be, a FATCA Exempt Party,

the German Borrower may, whilst (in the case of paragraphs (i), (ii) and above) the circumstance giving rise to the requirement or indemnification continues or (in the case of paragraph (iii) above) that the Additional Cost Rate is greater than zero, or that Lender continues not to be a FATCA Exempt Party, give the Agent notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender's participation in the Loan.

(b)	On receipt of a notice from the German Borrower referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

(c)	On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the German Borrower has given notice under paragraph (a) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the German Borrower in that notice), each Borrower to which a Loan is outstanding shall repay that Lender's participation in that Loan.

(d)	If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the German Borrower may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent not less than five Business Days' notice of cancellation of each Available Commitment of that Lender.

(e)	On the notice referred to in paragraph (d) above becoming effective, each Available Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

INTEREST

10.1	Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a)

Margin;

(b)	LIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in euro, EURIBOR; and

(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any.

10.2	Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

11.	DEFAULT INTEREST

11.1	Default interest periods

If any sum due and payable by an Obligor hereunder is not paid on the due date therefor in accordance with Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent) or if any sum due and payable by an Obligor under any judgment of any court in connection herewith is not paid on the date of such judgment, the period beginning on such due date or, as the case may be, the date of such judgment and ending on the date upon which the obligation of such Obligor to pay such sum is discharged shall be divided into successive periods, each of which (other than the first) shall start on the last day of the preceding such period and the duration of each of which shall (except as otherwise provided in this Clause 11 (Default Interest)) be selected by the Agent.

11.2	Default interest

An Unpaid Sum shall bear interest, or, insofar as it relates to unpaid interest, shall give rise to a claim for lump sum damages, during each Interest Period in respect thereof at the rate per annum which is one per cent. per annum above the percentage rate which would apply if it had been a Loan in the amount and currency of such Unpaid Sum and for the same Interest Period (provided that in the case of lump sum damages, the Obligor shall be free to prove that no damage has arisen or that damage has not arisen in the asserted amount, whereas in the case of lump sum damages and default interest the Finance Party shall be entitled to assert further damages), provided that if such Unpaid Sum relates to a Loan which became due and payable on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period relating thereto:

(a)	the first Interest Period applicable to such Unpaid Sum shall be of a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(b)	the percentage rate of interest applicable thereto from time to time during such period shall be that which exceeds by one per cent. the rate which would have been applicable to it had it not so fallen due.

11.3	Payment of default interest

Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 11.2 (Default Interest) in respect of an Unpaid Sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the Obligor owing such Unpaid Sum on the last day of each Interest Period in respect thereof or on such other dates as the Agent may specify by notice to such Obligor.

11.4	Notification of rates of interest

The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the relevant Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

12.	INTEREST PERIODS

12.1	Selection of Interest Periods

(d)	Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date.

(e)	A Loan has one Interest Period only.

12.2	Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period, as the case may be, will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

13.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

13.1	Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 13.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR or EURIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

13.2	Market disruption

(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i)	the Margin;

(ii)

the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

(iii)

the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's participation in the Loan.

(b)	In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

(i)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or

(ii)

before close of business in Luxembourg on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR.

13.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the German Borrower so requires, the Agent and the German Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(b)	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the German Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

13.4	Break Costs

Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Break Costs incurred by such Finance Party in respect of the relevant Interest Period), pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by that Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

All payments to be made by an Obligor to any Finance Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of Tax unless such Obligor is required to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of Tax, in which case the sum payable by such Obligor (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that such Finance Party receives a sum net of any withholding or deduction equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

15.3	Tax indemnity

Without prejudice to Clause 15.2 (Tax Gross-up), if any Finance Party is required to make any payment of or on account of Tax on or in relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder (including any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by such Finance Party whether or not actually received or receivable) or if any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against any Finance Party, the Borrowers shall, upon demand of the Agent, promptly indemnify the Finance Party which suffers a loss or liability as a result against such payment or liability together with any interest, penalties, costs and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith, provided that this Clause 15.3 (Tax indemnity) shall not apply to:

any Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income actually received or receivable by such Finance Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by such Finance Party but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction in which such Finance Party is incorporated and any other jurisdiction where such Finance Party is subject to such tax; or

(b)

any Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income of the Facility Office of such Finance Party actually received or receivable by such Finance Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by such Finance party but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction in which its Facility Office is located and any other jurisdiction where such Finance Party is subject to such tax.

15.5	Notification of requirement to deduct Tax

If, at any time, an Obligor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated), such Obligor shall promptly notify the Agent.

15.6	Evidence of payment of Tax

If an Obligor makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall deliver to the Agent for each Lender, within sixty days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority, an original receipt (or a certified copy thereof) issued by such authority evidencing the payment to such authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld in respect of that Lender's share of such payment.

15.7	Excluded Claims

If any Lender is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender, or if the circumstances set out in Clause 26.2(f) apply or if any Lender fails to cooperate as required under Clause 15.4(b) , no Obligor shall be liable to pay to that Lender under Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up) or Clause 15.3 (Tax indemnity) any amount in respect of Taxes asserted, assessed, levied or imposed in excess of the amount it would have been obliged to pay if that Lender had been or had not ceased to be a Qualifying Lender or had cooperated provided that this Clause 15.7 (Excluded claims) shall not apply (and each Obligor shall be obliged to comply with its obligations under Clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up) or Clause 15.3 (Tax indemnity)) if:

(a)

after the date hereof and after the date when such Lender first becomes a Lender for the purposes of this Agreement, there shall have been any introduction of, change in, or change in the interpretation, administration or application of, any law or regulation or order or governmental rule or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant tax authority and it is as a result thereof that such Lender was not or ceased to be a Qualifying Lender; or

(b)	such Lender is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender but would have been or would not have ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender, had all representations, confirmations and other documents and information provided by each Obligor to any Finance Party been true and accurate.

15.8	Tax credit payment

If an additional payment is made under Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) by an Obligor for the benefit of any Finance Party, including for the avoidance of doubt any payment in respect of any deduction or withholding, and such Finance Party, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it has obtained a credit against, a relief or remission for, or repayment of, any tax, then, if and to the extent that such Finance Party, in its sole opinion, determines that:

(a)	such credit, relief, remission or repayment is in respect of or calculated with reference to the additional payment made pursuant to Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities); and

(b)	its tax affairs for its year in respect of which such credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been finally settled,

such Finance Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to such Obligor such amount as such Finance Party shall, in its reasonable opinion, determine to be the amount which will leave such Finance Party (after such payment) in no worse after-tax position than it would have been in had the additional payment in question not been required to be made by such Obligor.

15.9	Tax credit clawback

If any Finance Party makes any payment to an Obligor pursuant to Clause 15.8 (Tax credit payment) and such Finance Party subsequently determines, in its reasonable opinion, that the credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of which such payment was made was not available or has been withdrawn or that it was unable to use such credit, relief, remission or repayment in full, such Obligor shall reimburse such Finance Party such amount as such Finance Party determines, in its reasonable opinion, is necessary to place it in the same after-tax position as it would have been in if such credit, relief, remission or repayment had been obtained and fully used and retained by such Finance Party.

15.10

Tax and other affairs

Subject to the provisions of Clause 18 (Mitigation by the Lenders) no provision of this Agreement shall interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, oblige any Finance Party to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of any payment under Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) in priority to any other credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it nor oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its tax or other affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

(b)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT.

(i)	any law or regulation;

(c)

The German Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly.

If the Agent receives such notification from a Finance Party it shall notify the German Borrower and that Obligor.

(d)

Within thirty days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Obligor making that FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant governmental or taxation authority.

FATCA Deduction by a Finance Party

(a)

Each Finance Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required by FATCA to make, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Finance Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction.

(b)	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

26.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

26.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

(a)	Subject to this Clause 26, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

(i)	assign (Abtretung) any of its rights; or

(ii)	transfer by way of assignment and assumption of debt (Vertragsübernahme) any of its rights and obligations,

to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender").

26.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)	Any such assignment or transfer shall be in a minimum amount of EUR 4,000,000 except in the case of an assignment or transfer which has the effect of reducing the participation of the relevant Lender to zero.

(b)	The consent of the German Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or unless a Default has occurred which is continuing.

(c)

The consent of the German Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The German Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the German Borrower within that time.

(d)	An assignment will only be effective on:

(i)	receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;

(ii)	performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(e)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

(f)

If:

(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 16 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred, provided that this paragraph (f) shall not apply to the extent that the payment under Clause 15 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) relates to a FATCA Deduction.

26.3	Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of EUR 3,500.

26.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents;

(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 26; or

(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

26.5	Procedure for transfer

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b)

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c)	On the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by assignment and assumption its rights (the "Transferred Rights") and obligations (the "Transferred Obligations") under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security;

(ii)	the Transferred Rights of the Existing Lender shall be transferred to the New Lender and the Transferred Obligations of the Existing Lender shall be assumed by the New Lender so that each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall have those obligations and/ or rights towards one another;

(iii)

the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Security Agent, the New Lender, the other Lenders shall have the same rights and the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they would have had, had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations transferred to or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(iv)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby agreed that the benefit of the guarantees and indemnities granted pursuant to Clause 20 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and the benefit of each of the Security Documents shall be transferred to the New Lender following a transfer pursuant to this Clause 26.

26.6	Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time assign, charge, pledge or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(a)	any assignment, charge, pledge or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

(b)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any assignment, charge, pledge or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such assignment, charge, pledge or Security shall:

(i)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant assignment, charge, pledge or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii)	require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

The European Central Bank or any member of the European system of central banks to whom all or part of a Lender's rights or interest under this Agreement may have been assigned or pledged as Security as well as any third party to whom the rights or interests have been assigned in the case of an enforcement of such Security shall not be subject to the limitations on assignments and transfers provided for under this Agreement, including Clause 26.3 (Assignment or transfer fee) and Clause 38 (Confidentiality).

SCHEDULE 4

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:

(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan:

per cent. per annum

(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:

per cent. per annum.

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in sub-Clause (a) of Clause 11.2 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)	"Eligible Liabilities" and "Special Deposits" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)	"Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c)	"Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d)	"Tariff Base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10.

The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

13.

The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the German Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

FORM OF AUDITOR'S REPORT

ILLUSTRATIVE REPORT ON CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION ACCOMPANYING the Consolidated Financial Statements

Separate Report Accompanying Standard Audit Report

[PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Office Letterhead]

Report of Independent Accountants

on Accompanying Consolidating Information

To Board of Directors and Common Stockholder of Kronos International, Inc.:

The report on our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Kronos International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 200_ and for the year then ended appears on page __ of this document. That audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating information as set out in the attached Schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the individual companies. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the individual companies. However, the consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
