All leases to which Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound are valid and enforceable against Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries, and are valid and enforceable against the other party or parties thereto and are in full force and effect with only such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and the Note Parties do not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 5% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that secures Indebtedness not permitted by Section 10.5.

(i) Requested Information — with reasonable promptness, such other data and information relating to the business, operations, corporate affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or relating to the ability of any Note Party to perform its obligations hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Note Document as from time to time may be reasonably requested by any such Purchaser or holder of a Note, including information readily available to Parent explaining Parent’s financial statements if such information has been requested by the SVO in order to assign or maintain a designation of the Notes.

(c) Guarantors — setting forth a list of all Parent Subsidiaries that are Guarantors and certifying that each Parent Subsidiary that is required to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.9 is a Guarantor, in each case, as of the date of such certificate of Senior Financial Officer.

provided however, that in no case shall access to such financial statements, other information and Officer’s Certificates be conditioned upon any waiver or other agreement or consent (other than confidentiality provisions consistent with Section 21 of this Agreement); provided further, that (x) in the case of clause (c), Parent shall have given each Purchaser or holder of a Note prior written notice, which may be by e-mail or in accordance with Section 19, of such posting or availability in connection with each delivery; and (y) upon request of any holder to receive paper copies of such forms, financial statements, other information and Officer’s Certificates or to receive them by e-mail, Parent will promptly e-mail them or deliver such paper copies, as the case may be, to such holder.

23

(a) information that Parent determines after consultation with counsel qualified to advise on such matters that, notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 21, it would be prohibited from disclosing by applicable law or regulations without making public disclosure thereof; or

(b) information that, notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 21, Parent is prohibited from disclosing by the terms of an obligation of confidentiality contained in any agreement with any non-Affiliate binding upon Parent and not entered into in contemplation of this clause (b), provided that Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from the party in whose favor the obligation of confidentiality was made to permit the disclosure of the relevant information.

Promptly after determining that Parent is not permitted to disclose any information as a result of the limitations described in this Section 7.5, Parent will provide each of the holders with an Officer’s Certificate describing generally the requested information that Parent is prohibited from disclosing pursuant to this Section 7.5 and the circumstances under which Parent is not permitted to disclose such information.

Section 7.6. Public Debt Meetings. Parent will invite each holder of Notes to all public calls (to the extent held) for the holders of any Public Debt and give each holder of Notes reasonable notice of such calls, provided that no such holder may speak during such calls other than to register their attendance.

SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than two Business Days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.7), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

24

Section 8.3. Prepayment for Tax Reasons.

(a) If at any time as a result of a Change in Tax Law (as defined below) the Company is or becomes obligated to make any Additional Payments (as defined below) in respect of any payment of interest on account of any of the Notes in an aggregate amount for all affected Notes equal to 5% or more of the aggregate amount of such interest payment on account of all of the Notes, the Company may give the holders of all affected Notes irrevocable written notice (each, a “Tax Prepayment Notice”) of the prepayment of such affected Notes on a specified prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice) and the circumstances giving rise to the obligation of the Company to make any Additional Payments and the amount thereof and stating that all of the affected Notes shall be prepaid on the date of such prepayment at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus an amount equal to the Modified Make-Whole Amount for each such Note, except in the case of an affected Note if the holder of such Note shall, by written notice given to the Company no more than 20 days after receipt of the Tax Prepayment Notice, reject such prepayment of such Note (each, a “Rejection Notice”). Such Tax Prepayment Notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Modified Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. The form of Rejection Notice shall also accompany the Tax Prepayment Notice and shall state with respect to each Note covered thereby that execution and delivery thereof by the holder of such Note shall operate as a permanent waiver of such holder’s right to receive the Additional Payments arising as a result of the circumstances described in the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of all future payments of interest on such Note (but not of such holder’s right to receive any Additional Payments that arise out of circumstances not described in the Tax Prepayment Notice or which exceed the amount of the Additional Payment described in the Tax Prepayment Notice), which waiver shall be binding upon all subsequent transferees of such Note. The Tax Prepayment Notice having been given as aforesaid to each holder of the affected Notes, the principal amount of such Notes together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus the Modified Make-Whole Amount shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, except in the case of Notes the holders of which shall timely give a Rejection Notice as aforesaid. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of a Note being so prepaid a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Modified Make-Whole Amount as of such prepayment date.

(b) No prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall affect the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Payments in respect of any payment made on or prior to the date of such prepayment. For purposes of this Section 8.3, any holder of more than one affected Note may act separately with respect to each affected Note so held (with the effect that a holder of more than one affected Note may accept such offer with respect to one or more affected Notes so held and reject such offer with respect to one or more other affected Notes so held).

25

(c) The Company may not offer to prepay or prepay Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 until the Company shall have taken commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the requirement to make the related Additional Payments, and any Tax Prepayment Notice given pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall certify to the foregoing and describe such mitigation steps, if any.

(d) For purposes of this Section 8.3: “Additional Payments” means additional amounts required to be paid to a holder of any Note pursuant to Section 13 by reason of a Change in Tax Law; and a “Change in Tax Law” means (individually or collectively with one or more prior changes) (i) an amendment to, or change in, any law, treaty, rule or regulation of any Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Closing, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such law, treaty, rule or regulation after the date of the Closing, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets the opinion requirements described below or (ii) in the case of any other jurisdiction that becomes a Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Closing, an amendment to, or change in, any law, treaty, rule or regulation of such jurisdiction, or an amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such law, treaty, rule or regulation, in any case after such jurisdiction shall have become a Taxing Jurisdiction, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets such opinion requirements. No such amendment or change shall constitute a Change in Tax Law unless the same would (as supported by a written opinion of counsel having recognized expertise in the field of taxation in the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which shall be delivered to all holders of the Notes prior to or concurrently with the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of such Change in Tax Law) affect the deduction or require the withholding of any Tax imposed by such Taxing Jurisdiction on any payment payable on the Notes.

Section 8.4. Prepayment in Connection with a Noteholder Sanctions Event.

(a) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any Affected Noteholder that a Noteholder Sanctions Event has occurred (which notice shall refer specifically to this Section 8.4(a) and describe in reasonable detail such Noteholder Sanctions Event), the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, make an offer (the “Sanctions Prepayment Offer”) to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of Notes held by such Affected Noteholder (the “Affected Notes”), together with interest thereon to the prepayment date selected by the Company with respect to each Affected Note but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount with respect thereto, which prepayment shall be on a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of the Sanctions Prepayment Offer (the “Sanctions Prepayment Date”). Such Sanctions Prepayment Offer shall provide that such Affected Noteholder notify the Company in writing by a stated date (the “Sanctions Prepayment Response Date”), which date is not later than 10 Business Days prior to the stated Sanctions Prepayment Date, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. If such Affected Noteholder does not notify the Company as provided above, then the holder shall be deemed to have accepted such offer.

26

(b) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 8.4, the Company shall prepay on the Sanctions Prepayment Date the entire unpaid principal amount of the Affected Notes held by such Affected Noteholder who has accepted (or has been deemed to have accepted) such prepayment offer (in accordance with subparagraph (a)), together with interest thereon to the Sanctions Prepayment Date with respect to each such Affected Note, but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount with respect thereto.

(c) If a Noteholder Sanctions Event has occurred but Parent and/or its Controlled Entities have taken such action(s) in relation to their activities so as to remedy such Noteholder Sanctions Event (with the effect that a Noteholder Sanctions Event no longer exists, as reasonably determined by such Affected Noteholder) prior to the Sanctions Prepayment Date, then the Company shall no longer be obliged or permitted to prepay such Affected Notes in relation to such Noteholder Sanctions Event. If Parent and/or its Controlled Entities shall undertake any actions to remedy any such Noteholder Sanctions Event, the Company shall keep the holders reasonably and timely informed of such actions and the results thereof.

(d) If any Affected Noteholder that has given written notice to the Company of its acceptance of (or has been deemed to have accepted) the Company’s prepayment offer in accordance with subparagraph (a) also gives notice to the Company prior to the relevant Sanctions Prepayment Date that it has determined (in its sole discretion) that it requires clearance from any Governmental Authority in order to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.4, the principal amount of each Note held by such Affected Noteholder, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on the later to occur of (but in no event later than the Maturity Date of the relevant Note) (i) such Sanctions Prepayment Date and (ii) the date that is 10 Business Days after such Affected Noteholder gives notice to the Company that it is entitled to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.4 (which may include payment to an escrow account designated by such Affected Noteholder to be held in escrow for the benefit of such Affected Noteholder until such Affected Noteholder obtains such clearance from such Governmental Authority), and in any event, any such delay in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be deemed to give rise to any Default or Event of Default.

(e) Promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days, after the Company’s receipt of notice from any Affected Noteholder that a Noteholder Sanctions Event shall have occurred with respect to such Affected Noteholder, the Company shall forward a copy of such notice to each other Purchaser or holder of Notes.

(f) The Company shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, give written notice to the Purchasers or holders after Parent or any Controlled Entity having been notified that (i) its name appears or may in the future appear on a State Sanctions List or (ii) it is in violation of, or is subject to the imposition of sanctions under, any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, in each case which notice shall describe the facts and circumstances thereof and set forth the action, if any, that Parent or a Controlled Entity proposes to take with respect thereto.

27

(g) The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4 shall be in addition to any rights or remedies available to any Purchaser or holder of Notes that may arise under this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Noteholder Sanctions Event; provided, that, if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 as a result of the events, conditions or actions of Parent or its Controlled Entities that gave rise to a Noteholder Sanctions Event, the remedies set forth in Section 12 shall control.

Section 8.5. Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer. In the event the Company obtains Excess Proceeds from an Asset Sale in accordance with Section 10.3(c), the Company shall offer to prepay (an “Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer”) each outstanding Note in a principal amount which equals the Ratable Portion for such Note, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, but without any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount. The Company shall give written notice of such offer of prepayment to the holders of all outstanding Notes, which notice shall (i) refer specifically to this Section 8.5 and describe in reasonable detail the event or condition giving rise to such offer to prepay the Notes, (ii) specify the Ratable Portion of each Note being offered to be prepaid, (iii) specify a date (which must be a Business Day) for such prepayment not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Disposition Prepayment Date”) and specify the Disposition Response Date (as defined below) and (iv) offer to prepay on the Disposition Prepayment Date such Ratable Portion of each Note together with interest accrued thereon to the Disposition Prepayment Date. Each holder of a Note shall notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Company (provided, however, that any holder who fails to so notify the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such offer) on a date at least 10 days prior to the Disposition Prepayment Date (such date 10 days prior to the Disposition Prepayment Date being the “Disposition Response Date”), and the Company shall prepay on the Disposition Prepayment Date such Ratable Portion of each Note held by the holders who have accepted such offer in accordance with this Section 8.5, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, but without any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount. If, in connection with an Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer, the Company offers to prepay or prepays any Pari Passu Debt with a make-whole amount, yield maintenance or other premium, then in connection with the Company’s offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.5, the Company shall also include in such offer of prepayment the Make-Whole Amount with respect to the Ratable Portion for each Note (provided, however, that in the case where the Make-Whole Amount is included in such offer of prepayment, any holder who fails to notify the Company of its acceptance or rejection of such offer shall be deemed to have accepted such offer). In the case where the Make-Whole Amount is included in such offer of prepayment, the notice of offer of prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such offer of prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes that has accepted (or that has been deemed to have accepted) the offer of prepayment, a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.6. Change of Control Prepayment Offer. Promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after a Change of Control has occurred, the Company shall give

28

written notice (the “Change of Control Prepayment Notice”) of such fact to all holders of the Notes.

(a) The Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall (i) describe the facts and circumstances of such Change of Control in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.6 and the rights of the holders hereunder and (iii) contain an offer to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of Notes held by each holder at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest accrued thereon to the prepayment date selected by the Company, but without any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, which prepayment shall be on a date therein specified (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”), which shall be a Business Day following the Change of Control Response Date referred to in subparagraph (c) below and in any event not more than 60 days after the date of such Change of Control Prepayment Notice.

(b) Each holder of a Note will notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.6 by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Company on or before the date for such notice specified in the Change of Control Prepayment Notice (the “Change of Control Response Date”), which specified date shall be not less than 30 days after the date of receipt by such holder of such Change of Control Prepayment Notice. A failure by any holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.6 on or before the Change of Control Response Date shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. If any holder shall reject (or be deemed to have rejected) such offer with respect to any Note held by such holder on or before the Change of Control Response Date, such holder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 8.6 to require prepayment of such Note for which such offer was rejected (or deemed rejected) in respect of such Change of Control but not in respect of any subsequent Change of Control.

(c) The Company shall prepay on the Change of Control Prepayment Date all of the Notes held by the holders as to which such offer has been so accepted, at 100% of the principal amount of each such Note, together with interest accrued thereon to the Change of Control Prepayment Date, but without any Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount.

(d) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof with respect to the entire principal amount of the Notes outstanding, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable prepayment price.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the

29

consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

Section 8.7. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.5, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.8. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.9. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.10. Make-Whole Amount and Modified Make-Whole Amount.

The terms “Make-Whole Amount” and “Modified Make-Whole Amount” mean, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that neither the Make-Whole Amount nor the Modified Make-Whole Amount may in any event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount and/or Modified Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Applicable Percentage” in the case of a computation of the Modified Make-Whole Amount for purposes of Section 8.3 means 1.00% (100 basis points), and in the case of a computation of the Make-Whole Amount for any other purpose means 0.5% (50 basis points).

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 8.6 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

30

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of the (x) Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

31

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 8.6 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.11. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Note Parties covenant and agree that:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.15, each Note Party will, and Parent will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2. Insurance. Each Note Party will (and Parent shall ensure that each member of the Restricted Group will) maintain insurances (other than in respect of permanent disability for players occurring when players are playing, practicing or training for a member of the Restricted Group) on and in relation to its business and assets against those risks and to the extent as is usual for companies carrying on the same or substantially similar business. All insurances must be with reputable independent insurance companies or underwriters.

32

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. Each Note Party will, and Parent will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Board of Directors of Parent has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Note Party will, and Parent will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed by them in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments relating to taxes, governmental charges, or levies required to be paid by them that are imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises pursuant to applicable law, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that neither Parent nor any such Restricted Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment relating to taxes, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor and for the costs of such contest in accordance with IFRS or GAAP, as applicable, on the books of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Parent will in any event ensure that (i) no Note Party changes its residence for tax purposes where to do so would be, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent, materially prejudicial to the holders of Notes under the Note Documents and (ii) the Company does not become a U.S. Person.

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc.. Subject to Section 10.2, each Note Party will at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, Parent will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into Parent or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of Parent and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of Parent, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with IFRS or GAAP, as applicable, and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over Parent or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets.

33

Section 9.7. Evidence of Insurance. Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that the Purchasers are provided with evidence that the Security Trustee has been named, pursuant to Clause 11 of the Supplemental Debenture, the sole loss payee with respect to the policies of insurance required by Section 9.2, within thirty (30) Business Days of the Closing Date.

Section 9.8. Priority of Obligations. Each Note Party shall ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and Parent shall ensure that the payment obligations of each other Guarantor (including each Additional Guarantor, if any), will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with the claims of all of its unsecured and unsubordinated creditors except those creditors whose claims are mandatorily preferred by laws of general application to companies and the Group’s Football Creditors in relation to matters set out in Rule E.34 (or any equivalent provision) of the “Rules of the Premier League” in the Premier League Handbook. Subject to the Legal Reservations, each Note Party shall ensure that, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and to any Lien which is permitted under this Agreement, the Transaction Security will rank in priority as specified in the relevant Transaction Security Document relating thereto and is not subject to any prior ranking or pari passu ranking Lien; provided, that no undertaking is given concerning whether any Transaction Security is of a fixed or floating nature.

Section 9.9. Further Assurances.

(a) Each Note Party shall (and Parent shall procure that each member of the Restricted Group shall) at all times promptly do all such acts and execute all such documents (including assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, notices and instructions) as the Required Holders or the Security Trustee may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Required Holders or the Security Trustee may reasonably require in favor of the Security Trustee or its nominee(s)):

(i) to perfect the Security created or intended to be created under or evidenced by the Transaction Security Documents (which may include the execution of a mortgage, charge, assignment or other Security over all or any of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Transaction Security) or for the exercise of any rights powers and remedies of the Security Trustee or the holders of the Notes provided by or pursuant to the Note Documents or by law;

(ii) to confer on the Security Trustee or confer on the holders of the Notes over any property and assets of such Note Party or other member of the Restricted Group, as the case may be, located in any jurisdiction equivalent or similar to the Security intended to be conferred by or pursuant to the Transaction Security Documents; and/or

(iii) following the initiation of an enforcement action under Section 12 or otherwise, to facilitate the realization of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Transaction Security.

34

(b) Each Note Party shall (and Parent shall procure that each member of the Restricted Group shall) at all times 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 of any Security conferred or intended to be conferred on the Security Trustee or the holders of the Notes by or pursuant to the Note Documents.

(c) Parent need only perform its obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b) above, to the extent it is not unlawful and would not result in personal liability for the directors or other management of the involved member of the Restricted Group. Each Note Party must use, and must procure that the relevant person uses, all reasonable efforts lawfully available to avoid any such unlawfulness or personal liability.

Section 9.10. Sponsorship Contracts and Arrangements. Parent shall ensure that no Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent will (a) enter into any sponsorship contract and/or arrangement; or (b) have transferred, assigned or novated to it any sponsorship contracts and/or arrangements by any member of the Restricted Group. For the avoidance of doubt, sponsorship contracts and/or arrangements shall not include contracts and/or arrangements relating to (i) paragraphs (a) and (c) of the definition of “New Holdco Business” or (ii) the provision or supply of content, services or other products.

Section 9.11. Rating Requirement. On a date not later than the anniversary of the Closing Date in the year 2016 and in each year thereafter, for so long as any Notes shall remain outstanding, the Company shall cause a Major Rating Agency to furnish a written affirmation of the rating of the Notes as of such date to each holder of Notes.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if any Note Party fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Note Parties covenant and agree that:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates. Parent will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Parent (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(a) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who is not an Affiliate of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

35

(b) Parent delivers to each holder of Notes:

(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of £10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Parent set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 10.1 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Parent or, if there are no disinterested directors in respect of such Affiliate Transaction, an opinion as to the fairness to Parent or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of £20.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Parent or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing;

provided, however, that the following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1:

(1) any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement, consultant agreement, employee benefit arrangements with any employee, consultant, officer or director of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including under any stock option, stock appreciation rights, stock incentive or similar plans, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(2) transactions between or among Parent and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(4) payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or Subordinated Shareholder Funding of Parent to Affiliates of Parent;

36

(6) Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of Section 10.7;

(7) Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments described in clauses (c), (m) and (o) of the definition thereof);

(8) transactions pursuant to, or contemplated by, any agreement in effect on the Closing Date and transactions pursuant to any amendment, modification or extension to such agreement, so long as such amendment, modification or extension, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Note Documents that are fair to Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors of Parent or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated Person;

(10) any payments or other transactions pursuant to a tax sharing agreement or arrangement relating to taxes between Parent and any other Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent and any other Person with which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries files a consolidated tax return or with which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is part of a group for tax purposes or any tax advantageous group contribution made pursuant to applicable legislation; provided, however, that any such tax sharing or arrangement and payment does not permit or require payments in excess of the amounts of tax that would be payable by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis; and

(11) Permitted Reorganizations.

Section 10.2. Merger, Consolidation, Etc.

(a) Parent will not, directly or indirectly: (x) consolidate or merge with or into another Person, whether or not Parent is the surviving corporation, or (y) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(i) either:

37

(A) Parent is the surviving corporation; or

(B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction;

(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of Parent under the Note Documents to which Parent is a party pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders;

(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

(iv) Parent, or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than Parent), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (i) would be permitted to incur at least £1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 10.4(a) or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than it was prior to such transaction; and

(v) Parent delivers to each holder of a Note an Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel, in each case, stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and assumption of obligations under the Note Documents comply with this Section 10.2.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2, a Guarantor (other than Parent or any Guarantor whose Note Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the Note Documents) may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company, Parent or another Guarantor, unless:

(i) either:

(A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (x) is organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction, (y) assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Note Documents to which such Guarantor is a party pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (z) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; or

38

(B) the Net Proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Note Documents.

(c) In addition, no Note Party will, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.2 will not restrict the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or merger or consolidation of (w) the Company or any Guarantor with, into or to any Guarantor, (x) any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary with, into or to the Company or any Guarantor or with, into or to any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, (y) any Permitted Reorganization and (z) Section 10.2(a)(iv) will not apply to any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or merger or consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor with, into or to an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company or such Guarantor in a Permitted Jurisdiction for tax reasons, provided, that (i) any such transaction is consummated in accordance with Section 9.4 and (ii) the Company does not become a U.S. Person.

Section 10.3. Asset Sales.

(a) Parent will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) Parent (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as shown on Parent’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 90 days following the closing of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

39

(C) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent or preferred stock of a Note Party other than Parent, in each case that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries following such Asset Sale are released from any guarantee of such Indebtedness or preferred stock in connection with such Asset Sale;

(D) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or preferred stock of a Note Party other than Parent which is either repaid in full or cancelled in connection with such Asset Sale; and

(E) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (b)(ii) or clause (b)(iv) of this Section 10.3;

provided that, in no event will Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Specified Asset other than to a Note Party.

(b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Parent (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

(i) to repay, repurchase, prepay or redeem (A) Indebtedness of any Note Party incurred pursuant to clause (b)(i) of Section 10.4 that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral and that is not subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of the Note Parties hereunder (including without limitation Section 23 hereof) or under any other Note Document, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent that is not a Guarantor, (C) the Notes pursuant to an offer to all holders of Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, to the date of purchase pursuant to Section 8.2 (a “Notes Offer”) or (D) obligations under any pari passu Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal to the Lien on the Collateral securing the Notes and that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes hereunder (including without limitation Section 23 hereof) or under any other Note Document, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, concurrently with an Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer pursuant to Section 8.5;

(ii) to acquire (or enter into a binding agreement to acquire, provided that such commitment will be subject only to customary conditions (other than financing) and such acquisition will be consummated within 180 days after the end of such 360 day period) all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after

40

giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent;

(iii) to make a Capital Expenditure; or

(iv) to acquire (or enter into a binding agreement to acquire, provided that such commitment will be subject only to customary conditions (other than financing) and such acquisition will be consummated within 180 days after the end of such 360 day period) other assets (other than Capital Stock) that are not classified as current assets under IFRS and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;

provided, however, that pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Parent (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Note Documents.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in clause (b) of this Section 10.3 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds £15.0 million, within five Business Days thereof, the Company will make an Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer to all holders of Notes and may make an offer to all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes or any Note Guaranty containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Agreement with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with Section 8.5 hereof to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of prepayment. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer, Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by Note Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, or if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Notes Offer exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds to be so applied, such Net Proceeds shall be allocated to prepay such Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be prepaid on a pro rata basis based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of any such Indebtedness not denominated in U.S. Dollars, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting any such principal amounts into their U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer is announced. Upon completion of each Excess Proceeds Prepayment Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

41

Section 10.4. Indebtedness; Preferred Stock.

(a) Parent will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Parent will not, and will not permit any other Note Party to, issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(i) subject to clause (c) of this Section 10.4, Parent may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, the Note Parties (other than Parent) may issue Disqualified Stock, and the Note Parties (other than Parent) and New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco (including without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Parent’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period provided that, if the Indebtedness to be incurred is to be incurred by New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco (including, without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) the creditor(s) or, as the case may be, representative of such creditor(s) of such Indebtedness shall have become parties to the Intercreditor Agreement or entered into an intercreditor agreement providing for pro-rata sharing of enforcement proceeds or payments upon default among such creditors and the holders of Notes and otherwise satisfactory to the Required Holders (acting reasonably and in good faith), provided that the terms of such intercreditor agreement are no more onerous to New Holdco and its Subsidiaries than the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(ii) if the Indebtedness to be incurred is Senior Secured Indebtedness, subject to clause (c) of this Section 10.4, the Note Parties and New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco (including without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) may incur such Senior Secured Indebtedness if the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for Parent’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred is less than 4.0 to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if such Indebtedness had been incurred at the

42

beginning of such four-quarter period provided that, if the Senior Secured Indebtedness to be incurred is to be incurred by New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco (including, without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) the creditor(s) or, as the case may be, representative of such creditor(s) of such Indebtedness shall have become parties to the Intercreditor Agreement or entered into an intercreditor agreement providing for pro-rata sharing of enforcement proceeds or payments upon default among such creditors and the holders of Notes and otherwise satisfactory to the Required Holders (acting reasonably and in good faith), provided that the terms of such intercreditor agreement are no more onerous to New Holdco and its Subsidiaries than the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Subject to clause (c) of this Section 10.4, clause (a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, the “Permitted Debt”):

(i) the incurrence by the Note Parties of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this Section 10.4(b)(i) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed £150 million.

(ii) the incurrence by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness; provided that, on or prior to the Closing Date the Indebtedness of the Note Parties evidenced by the Existing Notes and guaranteed pursuant to the Existing Note Guarantees shall be repaid in full;

(iii) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the Note Guaranty;

(iv) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing or refinancing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, lease, installation or improvement of property (real or personal), plant or equipment used or useful in a Permitted Business, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which were used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (iv), not to exceed £50.0 million at any time outstanding;

(v) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge

43

any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Note Documents to be incurred under clause (a) or any of clauses (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv), (b)(v) or (b)(xii) of this Section 10.4;

(vi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Parent and any of such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if any Note Party is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not a Note Party, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations then due with respect to the Notes and the Note Documents; and

(B) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither Parent nor a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (b)(vi);

(vii) the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent to Parent or to any of Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is neither Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (vii);

(viii) the incurrence by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

(ix) the Guaranty by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 10.4(b); provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(x) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, customs, VAT and other tax guarantees, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days;

(xii) Indebtedness of any Person outstanding on the date on which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent or is merged, consolidated, amalgamated or otherwise combined with (including pursuant to any acquisition of assets and assumption of related liabilities) Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness incurred to provide all or any portion of the funds used to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent or was otherwise acquired by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); provided, however, with respect to this clause (xii), that at the time of the acquisition or other transaction pursuant to which such Indebtedness was deemed to be incurred Parent would have been able to incur £1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this Section 10.4 after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (xii);

(xiii) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for customary indemnification, obligations in respect of earnouts or other adjustments of purchase price or, in each case, similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets or Person or any Equity Interests of a Subsidiary, provided that the maximum liability of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of non-cash proceeds (measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value), actually received by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(xiv) the Incurrence by New Holdco, Sponsorship Newco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco of Intra-Group Liabilities (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or Subordinated Liabilities (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); and

(xv) the incurrence by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed £50.0 million;

45

provided, however, that New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of New Holdco (including, without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) shall not be permitted to incur Indebtedness pursuant to paragraphs (i), (iv) and (xv) of this Section 10.4(b).

(c) No Note Party will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Note Parties unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guaranty on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of any Note Party solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.4, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(xv) hereof, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) hereof, Parent will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 10.4. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 10.4; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of Parent as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.4, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

46

(f) For purposes of determining compliance with any sterling-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Sterling Equivalent of the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under a revolving credit facility; provided that (i) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than sterling, and such refinancing would cause the applicable sterling-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such sterling-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; and (ii) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness, if denominated in sterling, will be the amount of the principal payment required to be made under such currency agreement and, otherwise, the Sterling Equivalent of such amount plus the Sterling Equivalent of any premium which is at such time due and payable but is not covered by such currency agreement.

Section 10.5. Liens.

Parent will not and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except (i) in the case of any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted Liens and (ii) in the case of any property or asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens.

Section 10.6. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction with a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent; provided that any Note Party may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

(a) such Note Party could have (i) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section 10.4(a)(i) and (ii) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof;

(b) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Parent of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and

(c) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 10.3 hereof.

47

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of Parent’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of Parent’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Parent and other than dividends or distributions payable to Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries);

(ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Parent) any Equity Interests of Parent or any direct or indirect parent entity of Parent;

(iv) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Shareholder Funding; or

(v) make any Restricted Investments;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(B) Parent would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have

(1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Parent for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 2015 to the end of Parent’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

(2) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Parent since the Closing Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of Parent (other than Disqualified Stock and Excluded Contributions) or from Subordinated Shareholder Funding or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock of Parent or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Parent, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Equity Interests of Parent (including such cash proceeds received in connection with any such conversion or exchange) (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of Parent), excluding, in each case, any such contribution that constitutes Relevant Equity; plus

(3) to the extent that Restricted Investments which were made after the Closing Date are sold for cash and/or Cash Equivalents or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash and/or Cash Equivalents, the lesser of (x) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investments (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (y) the initial amount of such Restricted Investments; plus

(4) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Parent designated as such after the Closing Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of Parent’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (y) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date; plus

49

(6) the initial amount of any Restricted Investment made after the Closing Date in a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; plus

(7) 100% of any dividends received in cash by Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of Parent for such period.

(b) If no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment, the provisions of Section 10.7(a) will not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the Note Documents;

(ii) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Parent) of, Equity Interests of Parent (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital or Subordinated Shareholder Funding to Parent (excluding any such contribution that constitutes Relevant Equity); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from Section 10.7(a)(C)(2);

(iii) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of (A) Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or the Note Guaranty with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; or (B) Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guaranty (other than any Indebtedness so subordinated and held by Affiliates of the Company) upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale to the extent required by the agreements governing such Indebtedness, but only if, prior to offering to purchase, purchasing or repaying such Indebtedness, (x) the Company shall have complied with its obligations under Section 8.5, Section 8.6 or Section 10.3, as the case may be, and shall have prepaid the full principal amount of Notes required to be

50

prepaid under such Sections and (y) the Note Parties shall have otherwise complied with the terms of this Agreement;

(v) the repurchase of Equity Interests of Parent or any Parent Entity deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;

(vi) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of Parent or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary issued on or after the Closing Date in accordance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in clause (i) of Section 10.4(a);

51

to file a consolidated tax return or with which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a part of a group for tax purposes; provided, however, that such payments will not exceed the amount of tax that Parent and its Subsidiaries would owe on a standalone basis and the related tax liabilities of Parent and its Subsidiaries are relieved thereby;

(x) the declaration and payment of dividends or other distributions, or the making of loans, by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any Parent Entity in amounts and at times required to pay:

(A) franchise taxes and other fees, taxes and expenses required to maintain the corporate existence of any Parent Entity;

52

long as any Parent Entity will cause the amount of such expenses to be repaid to Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary out of the proceeds of such offering promptly if completed;

(xi) so long as the Consolidated EBITDA of Parent is equal to or greater than £250.0 million for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment, any Restricted Payment;

(xiv) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed £160.0 million since the Closing Date.

(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

Section 10.8. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) Parent will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to Parent or any of Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Parent or any of Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries;

53

(ii) make loans or advances to Parent or any of Parent’s Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(i) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and the Revolving Credit Facility or any other agreement as in effect at or entered into on the Closing Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Closing Date;

(ii) the Existing Note Indenture, the Existing Notes and the Existing Note Guarantees, the Existing RCF Agreement, the Term Loan Facility, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Transaction Security Documents;

(iii) agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 10.4 and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Note Documents;

(iv) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(v) any agreement or instrument of or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such agreement or instrument was entered into or incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition) and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of any such agreement or instrument, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are (A) no more restrictive or (B) not materially less favorable as determined in good faith by Parent, than the dividend and other payment restrictions contained in such instrument at the time of such acquisition, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness,

54

such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Note Documents to be incurred;

(vi) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of Parent’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

55

is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any other Person, other than such Restricted Subsidiary or its property or assets.

Section 10.9. Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness.

(a) Parent will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Note Parties, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any manner become liable, whether as a borrower, an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect any other Indebtedness of Parent or any of Parent’s other Restricted Subsidiaries unless such specified Restricted Subsidiary shall simultaneously:

(i) enter into (A) a Note Guaranty Joinder Agreement, and thereby become a party to this Agreement as a Guarantor hereunder, (B) a Debtor Accession Deed (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), and thereby become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement as a Debtor thereunder, and (C) all such security agreements, mortgages, deeds, debentures and other agreements and instruments as shall be required or reasonably requested by the Required Holders, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, in order to effectively pledge all of such Subsidiary’s assets and property to secure its obligations under and in respect of the Note Guaranty (and, in connection therewith, Parent will cause all of the Capital Stock in such Restricted Subsidiary owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries to be pledged to secure the Notes and the Note Guaranty and execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional Security documents as shall be required for such purpose), provided, that (x) no security will be required over the assets of New Holdco and/or any New Holdco Subsidiary (including for the avoidance of doubt any Capital Stock of a New Holdco Subsidiary) and (y) no obligation under this Agreement or under any Note Document of a U.S. Note Party may be, directly or indirectly, (A) secured by any assets of a CFC (including any stock held directly or indirectly by a CFC); or (B) secured by a pledge in excess of 65% of the stock (measured by the total combined voting power of the issued and outstanding voting stock) of a CFC, and in no event shall any CFC Note Party grant or be permitted to grant security over any assets of such CFC Note Party with respect to any obligation of a U.S. Note Party; and

(ii) deliver the following to each holder of a Note:

(A) an executed counterpart of each of such Note Guaranty Joinder Agreement, Debtor Accession Deed and Transaction Security Documents;

(B) a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, excluding Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.13 and

56

5.14 (but only with respect to such Subsidiary and such documents required to be entered into by it pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(i) (such Subsidiary’s “Joinder Documents”) rather than the Note Parties);

(C) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, if applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary’s Joinder Documents and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder;

(D) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary’s Joinder Documents as the Required Holders may reasonably request; and

(E) evidence of the acceptance by Corporation Service Company of the appointment of designation provided for by Section 6 of such Note Guaranty Joinder Agreement, as such Subsidiary’s agent to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process, for the period from the date of such Note Guaranty Joinder Agreement to June 26, 2028 (and the payment in full of all fees in respect thereof);

notwithstanding the foregoing, without becoming a Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.9, New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a New Holdco Subsidiary (including without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) may directly or indirectly, guarantee, assume or in any manner become liable, whether as borrower, an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect any Indebtedness of New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a New Holdco Subsidiary (including without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) permitted to be incurred by New Holdco or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a New Holdco Subsidiary (including without limitation, Sponsorship Newco) under Section 10.4.

(b) Any additional Note Guarantee will automatically and unconditionally be released under the same conditions and circumstances that the guarantee of other Indebtedness will be released, so long as no Default or Event of Default is existing or would arise as a result and no other Indebtedness is at that time guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor that would have resulted in the requirement that such Guarantor provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to this Section 10.9.

Section 10.10. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount

57

available for Restricted Payments under Section 10.7 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by Parent. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Parent may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the holders of the Notes by filing with each such holder a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted under Section 10.7. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the Note Documents and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 10.4, Parent will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 10.4 calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 10.11. Limitation on Company Activities.

(a) The Company will not engage in any business activity or undertake any other activity, except any activity (i) reasonably relating to the offering, sale, issuance and servicing, purchase, redemption, refinancing or retirement of the Existing Notes, the Existing RCF Agreement, the Notes, Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, Indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility or the incurrence of other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of the Note Documents, and distributing, lending or otherwise advancing funds to Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) undertaken with the purpose of fulfilling any other obligations under the Existing Notes, the Existing RCF Agreement, the Notes, Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, Indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility, the Proceeds Loan Agreement or other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of the Note Documents, the “Finance Documents” (as that term is defined in the Term Loan Facility as of the Closing Date) any Transaction Security Document to which it is a party or the Intercreditor Agreement; and (iii) other activities not specifically enumerated above that are de minimis in nature. The Company will not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien over any of its property or assets, or any proceeds therefrom, to secure Indebtedness, except for Liens to secure the Existing Notes, the Existing RCF Agreement, the Notes, the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility or other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Note Documents

58

to the extent Liens securing such Indebtedness are permitted to be incurred under the Note Documents.

(b) The Company will at all times remain a wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary of MUL. The Company will not merge, consolidate, amalgamate or otherwise combine with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) or, other than in connection with the incurrence of a Permitted Collateral Lien, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any material property or assets to any Person in one or more related transactions.

(c) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, neither Parent nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will commence or take any action or facilitate a winding-up, liquidation or other analogous proceeding in respect of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proceeds Loans may be prepaid or reduced to facilitate or otherwise accommodate or reflect a prepayment of outstanding Notes.

Section 10.12. Limitation on Holding Company Activities.

(a) Parent will not, at any time, own any assets or property other than cash and Cash Equivalents, the Carrington Premises, Capital Stock in RFJ and MUL, assets that will be used to make a Restricted Payment (other than a Restricted Investment) permitted by Section 10.7 promptly following receipt thereof by Parent, and other assets that are de minimis in nature.

(b) RFJ will not, at any time, own any assets or property other than Capital Stock in MUL and other assets that are de minimis in nature.

(c) In addition, neither Parent nor RFJ will trade, undertake any activity, carry on any business, own any assets, enter into any arrangement or incur any liability other than:

(i) the ownership of shares of MUL and, in the case of Parent, RFJ or any other direct Subsidiary of the Parent and/or RFJ (an “Additional Subsidiary”) that is a member of the Group, in each case to the extent such shares are subject to Transaction Security and provided that any Additional Subsidiary is the only member of the Group (other than RFJ) in which the Parent directly owns shares;

59

(ii) the provision of administrative services (excluding treasury services) to its Subsidiaries of a type customarily provided by a holding company to its Subsidiaries and the receipt of any amounts related thereto to the extent expressly permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement;

(iv) rights and obligations arising under the Note Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement (or any additional intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Transaction Security Documents, the Existing Note Documents, the Existing RCF Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility Documents, any Finance Document (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) or any other agreement existing on the Closing Date to which it is a party relating to the issue and sale of the Notes issued on the Closing Date or the application of the proceeds therefrom;

(v) directly related or reasonably incidental to the establishment and/or maintenance of its corporate existence; or

(vi) the holding of bank accounts and the making of loans (including activities reasonably incidental thereto) permitted by the Note Documents, and the entry into any agreement in relation thereto.

Section 10.13. Financial Condition.

(a) Parent will not permit, for any Relevant Period, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for such Relevant Period to be less than £65,000,000, subject, however, to Section 10.13(c).

(b) Subject to Section 10.13(c), the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.13(a) shall be calculated in accordance with IFRS and tested by reference to each of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) and/or each compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.

(c) For purposes of calculating the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.13(a), if a Champions League Non Qualification Event occurs:

(i) Parent may elect, at any time prior to the end of the Financial Year in which such Champions League Non Qualification Event occurs, to adjust the definition of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for each Financial Quarter falling in the Financial Year in respect of which the first team of MUFC is not in the first round group stages (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Champions League by adding back an amount equal to “X” in each such Financial Quarter (each, an “Adjusted Quarter”) where: “X”

60

corresponds to the amount set out in Schedule 10.13 (Table of Values for X) for that Financial Quarter minus (x) the net amount received by the Restricted Group in that Financial Quarter in respect of matches (both home and away) and media payments relating to UEFA cup performances; and (y) the net amount of any reduction to player salaries in that Financial Quarter arising out of the existing contractual provisions as a result of the Champions League Non Qualification Event.

(ii) At the same time as Parent makes an election under clause (i) of this Section 10.13(c), it shall furnish to each holder of Notes a certificate signed by a director of Parent (ix) confirming the value of X and the amount of each such Adjustment and setting out (in reasonable detail) computation of those amounts and (x) attaching a copy of the Champions League Adjustment Spreadsheet (following the Adjustments).

(iii) If the Required Holders give notice to Parent that they do not agree with the calculations of any of the Adjustments contained in the certificate described in paragraph (c)(ii) above (acting reasonably), Parent and the holders of the Notes will consult in good faith for a period of not more than 10 Business Days with a view to correcting the calculations of the Adjustments.

(iv) If agreement has not been reached within the 10 Business Day period referred to in paragraph (c)(iii) above then, at the request of the Required Holders (and at the expense of Parent), Parent will appoint a firm of independent public accountants of recognized international standing to determine the amount of the Adjustments (and, consequently, the value of “X”) and such determination shall (in the absence of manifest error) be binding on the Note Parties and the each holder of Notes.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.13(a) only, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA in any Relevant Period which contains one or more Adjusted Quarters shall be calculated using the adjusted values of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA set out in paragraph (c)(i) above for each such Adjusted Quarter.

(vi) An election by Parent pursuant to clause (i) above of this Section 10.13(c) (x) may not be made more than twice during the period the Notes are outstanding and (y) may not be made during two consecutive Financial Years.

Section 10.14. Line of Business. Parent will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which Parent, the Note Parties or the Restricted Group (taken as a whole), would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which Parent, the Note Parties or the

61

Restricted Group (taken as a whole), are engaged on the date of this Agreement as described in the Memorandum.

Section 10.15. Economic Sanctions, Etc. Parent will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction would be in violation of, or could result in the imposition of sanctions under, any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws applicable to the Company or such Controlled Entity, except, in the case of this clause (b), to the extent that such violation or sanctions, if imposed, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if any Note Party fails to comply with any provision of Section 10 before or after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes on a pro forma basis, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

An “Event of Default” shall exist if any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal or Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise; or

62

warranty are capable of remedy within such period, the Company shall have failed to remedy such circumstances within 60 days after the earlier of (x) a Responsible Officer obtaining actual knowledge of such false or incorrect representation or warranty or (y) the Company receiving written notice of such false or incorrect representation or warranty from any holder of a Note (any such written notice to be identified as a “notice of default” and to refer specifically to this Section 11(e)), or (ii) any representation or warranty made in writing by or on behalf of any Guarantor or by any officer of such Guarantor in this Agreement or any writing furnished in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document proves to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made and, if the circumstances causing such false or incorrect representation or warranty are capable of remedy within such period, such Guarantor shall have failed to remedy such circumstances within 60 days after the earlier of (x) a Responsible Officer obtaining actual knowledge of such false or incorrect representation or warranty or (y) the Guarantor receiving written notice of such false or incorrect representation or warranty from any holder of a Note (any such written notice to be identified as a “notice of default” and to refer specifically to this Section 11(e)); or

(i) any event occurs with respect to any member of the Restricted Group which under the laws of any jurisdiction is analogous to any of the events described in Section 11(g) or Section 11(h), provided that the applicable grace period, if any, which shall apply shall be the one applicable to the relevant proceeding which most closely corresponds to the proceeding described in Section 11(g) or Section 11(h); or

(j) one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money aggregating in excess of £25.0 million (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment), including any such final order enforcing a binding arbitration decision, are rendered against one or more members of the Restricted Group and which judgments are not, within 60 days after entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within 60 days after the expiration of such stay; or

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount or, solely with respect to a prepayment, Modified Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or Guaranty, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms

65

hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Note or any other Note Document upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 16, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and any stamp, registration, notarial or similar Taxes or fees.

SECTION 13. TAX INDEMNIFICATION; FATCA INFORMATION.

(a) All payments whatsoever under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents will be made by the Note Parties in lawful currency of the United States of America free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied thereon or with respect thereto unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is compelled by law.

(b) If any deduction or withholding for any Tax imposed by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which a Note Party is then incorporated or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision thereof or therein or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of a Note Party or any political subdivision thereof or therein (including for avoidance of doubt, so long as any Note Party is treated as a U.S. Person, any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Note Parties under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Note

66

Documents, the Note Parties will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder of a Note such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Note Documents after such deduction, withholding or payment (including any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such Additional Amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Note Documents before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any Additional Amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

(i) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between a holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof, including such holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident or national thereof, or being or having been incorporated, present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for any Note Party, after the date of the Closing, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document are made to, the jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(ii) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder or beneficial owner (following a written request by the Paying Agent or the Company) in the accurate filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or, if relevant, with the jurisdiction of tax residence of the relevant holder or beneficial owner) of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder or beneficial owner to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms, other than Forms required under Section 13(d)(i) or Section 13(d)(ii), would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder and, provided further, that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b)(ii) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (other than Forms required under Section 13(d)(i)

67

or Section 13(d)(ii)), including refilings or renewals of filings of such Forms, as may be specified in a written request of the Paying Agent or the Company no later than 30 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof);

(iii) any Tax imposed under FATCA; or

(iv) any combination of clauses (i) through (iii) above;

and provided further that in no event shall any Note Party be obligated to pay Additional Amounts to any holder (i) by reason of any withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom, if on the date on which the payment falls due, such payment could have been made to the holder without any such withholding or deduction if that holder had been a Qualifying Purchaser (and, in the case of a Treaty Purchaser, if H.M. Revenue and Customs had issued a direction to the relevant Note Party authorizing it to make the relevant payment without withholding or deduction on account of Tax), but on that date that holder is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Purchaser (other than as a result of any Change in Tax Law after the date it became a holder under this Agreement), (ii) by reason of any withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) on amounts payable to or for the account of such holder pursuant to the law in effect on the date on which such holder becomes a holder of the Note under this Agreement or changes its applicable lending office, (iii) which is not an original Purchaser on the date of Closing, if and to the extent that, as a result of circumstances (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the status of such holder) existing on the date when such holder acquired the relevant Notes, such Note Party would, but for this proviso, be obliged to pay Additional Amounts to such holder and such Additional Amounts would exceed the Additional Amounts (if any) which would have been payable by such Note Party to such holder’s assignor pursuant to this Section 13 if the relevant Notes had not been assigned to such holder, or (iv) registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and the Paying Agent or the Company shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

In this Section 13:

“Change in Tax Law” shall have the same meaning as in section 8.3, but for the avoidance of doubt the last sentence of section 8.3(d), and any related references in section 8.3(d) to the opinion requirements of that subsection, shall not apply for the purposes of this section 13.

unless in respect of such Purchaser or members of such Purchaser a direction under section 931 of the ITA has been given to the Company and a copy of such direction has been provided to such Purchaser; or

(E) a Purchaser:

(1) which is a bank (as defined for the purpose of section 879 of the ITA) and is within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax in respect of any payments of interest made on the Notes held by it or would be within such charge in respect of such payments apart from section 18A of the CTA; or

(2) which holds Notes that were issued to a person that was a bank (as defined for the purpose of section 879 of the ITA) at the time when they were issued and is within the charge to United Kingdom corporation tax in respect of any payments of interest made to it on such Notes; and

(c) By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitation of clause (b)(ii) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly and accurately complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by the Paying Agent or the Company all such forms, certificates, documents and returns (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States, United Kingdom or other jurisdiction, as applicable, and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide the Paying Agent and the Company with such information with respect to such holder as the Paying Agent or the Company may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms or comply with any backup withholding and information reporting requirements, provided that nothing in this Section 13 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly and accurately completed and delivered by such holder to the Paying Agent or the Company or, if relevant, mailed by registered post to the appropriate taxing authority, whichever is applicable, within 30 days following a written request of the Company (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language).

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) any holder of a Note shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Company on or before the date it becomes a holder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Paying Agent or the Company) executed copies of (A) if the holder is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such holder is a U.S. person exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax and providing its U.S. taxpayer identification number, or (B) if the holder is not a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any other applicable Form W-8, together with any required attachments, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to beneficial owners) properly establishing full exemption from, or reduction in, U.S. withholding taxes in respect of payments under the Notes, together with any other statements or certifications reasonably necessary to establish the applicable exemption or reduction;

(ii) each holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times

70

reasonably requested by the Paying Agent and the Company such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Company as may be necessary for the Paying Agent and the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement;

(iii) each holder agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Paying Agent and Company in writing of its legal inability to do so; and

(iv) each holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent or the Company at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Company, as applicable (having regard to whether there is any proposed acquisition, or has been any recent acquisition, of Notes by such holder and whether it appears to the Paying Agent or the Company that there has been any change in the residence or tax status of such holder, any change in the branch or office through which such holder holds its Notes or any other change in circumstances or law, including any tax treaty, which the Paying Agent or the Company reasonably considers might realistically affect whether such holder is a Qualifying Purchaser) written confirmation (but without liability to the Paying Agent or the Company and without prejudice to its rights under this section 13) of (A) whether or not it is a Qualifying Purchaser, (B) if it is a Qualifying Purchaser, which limb of the Qualifying Purchaser definition it falls within and (C) if it is a Treaty Purchaser, which jurisdiction it is resident in and whether or not it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme to apply in relation to its holding of Notes (and, if it so wishes, what its relevant treaty passport details are).

(e) If any payment of Additional Amounts is made by a Note Party to a holder pursuant to this Section 13, then, if such holder determines that it has received or been granted a refund, relief, remission or repayment of Taxes related to the relevant Additional Amount, such holder shall without unreasonable delay reimburse to the Note Parties such amount as such holder shall determine to be attributable to the relevant Additional Amount or Taxes or deduction or withholding related to the relevant Additional Amount such that such holder is in the same after-Tax position that it would have been in if the relevant Taxes, deduction or withholding had not been payable or imposed. Without prejudice to the generality of the preceding sentence, in the event that: (x) United Kingdom Taxes are deducted or withheld by a Note Party from payments to a holder under a Note in satisfaction of such Note Party’s obligations under applicable law; (y) Additional Amounts are, in connection with such deduction or withholding, paid by a Note Party to such holder pursuant to this Section 13; and (z) such holder is a Treaty

71

Purchaser, then such holder shall reasonably cooperate with the relevant Note Party in order to obtain a refund of the United Kingdom Taxes so withheld from H.M. Revenue and Customs (and, in the event that such Taxes are refunded to such holder, such holder shall without unreasonable delay reimburse such Taxes to the relevant Note Party net of any reasonable out of pocket expenses such that such holder is in the same after-Tax position that it would have been in if such Taxes had not been so deducted or withheld). Subject to Section 13(h), nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar Tax liability in respect of such Taxes, withholding or deduction in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in Section 13(b)(ii)) disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof. Any reference in this subsection (e) to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the relevant holder (without any implied duty of reasonableness or other restriction).

(f) The Company will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by the Note Parties of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Note Documents, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of the Company, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

(g) If the Note Parties are required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which the Note Parties would be required to pay any Additional Amounts under this Section 13, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then the Note Parties will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by the Note Parties, and any Additional Amount required as a result of any deduction or withholding of any Tax required in respect of such payment) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

(h) If any of the Note Parties make payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note, including for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clause 13(g) above, and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from the Company (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by the Company, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above..

72

(i) The obligations of the Note Parties under this Section 13 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 13 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and neither the Company nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

Section 14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes; No Transfer to Competitors.

(a) Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(a)(iii) or to any transfer agent appointed by the Company and identified in writing to the Holders (including pursuant to Section 14.4)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other similar tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.

73

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees, and each subsequent holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed, that it will not, directly or indirectly, transfer any Note purchased by it to a Person which is a Competitor (it being understood that such Purchaser or subsequent holder, as the case may be, shall advise any broker or intermediary acting on its behalf in connection with any such transfer that such transfer to a Competitor is limited hereby).

Section 14.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(a)(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver (or direct any transfer agent appointed by the Company to deliver), in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 14.4 Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent. As of the date hereof, The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed by the Company to act as registrar, paying agent and transfer agent for the Notes (in addition to its other agent duties, obligations and responsibilities described hereunder). Until such time as the Company notifies the Holders in writing of the appointment of another registrar, paying agent and/or transfer agent, (a) all notices from the Holders for changes of name, address, contact details or payment details of the Holders shall be sent to The Bank of New York Mellon at the address set forth below in Section 19 and (b) all transfers, exchanges, amendments, replacements or cancellations of Notes shall be addressed to The Bank of New York Mellon as the transfer agent.

The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such

74

place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 15.2. Payment by Wire Transfer. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will, or will cause the Paying Agent to, pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company and the Paying Agent in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company or the Paying Agent made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

SECTION 16. EXPENSES, ETC.

SECTION 17. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Note Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Note Party made as of the date of delivery of such certificate or other instrument (except as otherwise provided therein) under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Note Parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

76

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 22 or 23 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing;

(b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount or Modified Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver or the principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are to purchase pursuant to Section 2 upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing that appear in Section 4, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 18, 21 or 24.8; and

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Purchaser and each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required (in the reasonable discretion of the holders of Notes), to enable such Purchaser and such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or any other Note Document. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 18 to each Purchaser and each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Purchaser or holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note or any other Note Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser and each holder of a Note even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 18 by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate or to any other Person in connection with,

77

or in anticipation of, an acquisition of, tender offer for or merger with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates (either pursuant to a waiver under Section 18.1(c) or subsequent to Section 8.9 having been amended pursuant to Section 18.1(c)) in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 18.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Note Parties without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Note Parties and any Purchaser or holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Note Parties agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit the Note Parties or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Note Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary or confidential in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Note Parties, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or

79

omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, provided, that such source is not known to such Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with any Note Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Purchaser by a contractual or legal obligation, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Note Party or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Note Parties (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (vi) upon the request of any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Note Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Note Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Note Parties, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the

80

purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 23. GUARANTY.

Section 23.1. Guaranty.

(a) Subject to this Section 23, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, interest, Make-Whole Amount (if any), Modified Make-Whole Amount (if any) and any amount payable pursuant to Section 13, if any, on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full, in Dollars, when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, interest Make-Whole Amount (if any), Modified Make-Whole Amount (if any) and any amount payable pursuant to Section 13, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full in Dollars when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise; and

(iii) the prompt performance and observance by the Company of all covenants, agreements and conditions on its part to be performed and observed hereunder and under the Notes, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

(b) Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and

81

severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.

(c) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Agreement.

(d) If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid to such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 12 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 12 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 23.2. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 23, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law of any jurisdiction to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Section 23,

82

result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 23.3. Releases.

(a) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be released:

(1) in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or combination) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 10.2 or 10.3;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 10.2 or 10.3 and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(3) if Parent designates any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 10.10;

(4) upon repayment in full of the Notes;

(5) upon the completion of an enforcement sale of the Capital Stock or all of the assets of such Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(6) in connection with a Permitted Reorganization; or

(7) as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 10.2.

(1) upon repayment in full of the Notes;

(2) in connection with an enforcement sale pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(3) pursuant to an amendment under Section 18;

(4) in connection with a Permitted Reorganization; or

(5) as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 10.2.

Without prejudice to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if a Guarantor or, as the case may be, its assets, is or is proposed to be the subject of release pursuant to this Section 23.3 or a Permitted Reorganization then:

(a) where that Guarantor created Transaction Security over any of its assets or business (including the assets or business of any of its Subsidiaries that is to cease to be a

83

member in favor of the Security Trustee of the Restricted Group as a result of the release), or Transaction Security was created over the shares (or equivalent) of that Guarantor (or any of its Subsidiaries that is to cease to be a member of the Restricted Group as a result of the release), the Security Trustee shall, at the cost and request of the Company, release those assets, business or shares (or equivalent) and issue certificates of non-crystallisation in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement;

(b) the resignation of that Guarantor and related release of Transaction Security referred to in paragraph (a) above shall not become effective until the date of that release or Permitted Reorganization, as applicable; and

(c) if the release or Permitted Reorganization of that Guarantor is not made, the release of Transaction Security referred to in paragraph (a) above shall have no effect and the obligations of the Guarantor and the Transaction Security created or intended to be created by or over that Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall continue in such force and effect as if that release had not been effected.

Section 23.4. Release of Guarantors’ Right of Contribution: If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor (a) that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Note Documents and (b) each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Note Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Holders under any Note Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Note Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

Section 23.5. Guarantee Limitations.

(a) This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Guarantor and, with respect to any Additional Guarantor, is subject to any limitations set out in the relevant Note Guarantee Joinder Agreement applicable to such Additional Guarantor.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 24.2. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with IFRS; provided, that any provisions with respect to the Parent’s Subsidiaries that are expressly determined in accordance with GAAP under this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with IFRS, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Parent to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by International Accounting Standard 39 — Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, International Accounting Standard 9 — Financial Instruments or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

Section 24.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 24.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 14, (b) subject to Section 24.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be

85

construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 24.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 24.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 24.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Note Party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Note Party irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) Each Note Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c) Each Note Party consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail, postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 19, to Corporation Service Company, as its agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. Each Note Party agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

86

(d) Nothing in this Section 24.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Note Parties in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e) The Company hereby irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company to receive for it, and on its behalf, service of process in the United States.

(f) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 24.8. Obligation to Make Payment in Dollars. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars which is made to or for the account of any holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Company or any other Note Party, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of the Note Parties under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such holder, the Note Parties agree to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

87

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of agreement on a counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Company, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you, the Company and the Guarantors.

TABLE OF VALUES FOR X

1. The value of X in any Financial Year will be the amount determined using the Champions League Adjustment Spreadsheet and set out in the row labelled “EBITDA” in the column corresponding to that Financial Year after the following adjustments (the “Adjustments”) have been made in the electronic version of the spreadsheet (and, for the avoidance of doubt, with no other adjustments):

(a) the figure in the Total Match Day income row of the spreadsheet for a Financial Year (the “Relevant Year”) will be determined by: (i) adjusting the revenue in the line item entitled “European Cups” in the annual financial statements for the most recent Financial Year in which the first team of MUFC participated in the Champions League (the “Previous Year”) to reflect any increase or decrease in ticket prices announced prior to the start of the Relevant Year that would be applicable in the Relevant Year; (ii) aggregating the amount described in paragraph (i) above with the revenue (increased or decreased for the then prevailing rate (RPI) of inflation or deflation) in the line items entitled “Hospitality — Match Day” and “Catering (match day)” (minus any intra-Restricted Group items) in the annual financial statements for the Previous Year; (iii) dividing the sum of the amount described in paragraph (ii) by the number of Champions League matches played at the Stadium in the Previous Year; and (iv) multiplying the product of paragraph (iii) by four;

(b) any increase or decrease in the Sterling Equivalent of Media and sponsorship revenues that would have been received by the Restricted Group from UEFA in respect of the Champions League (or, in each case, any replacement body or competition) had the first team of MUFC finished third in the Premier League (or any replacement competition) and qualified for the first knock-out stage of the Champions League will be taken into account in calculating the figure in the row labelled “European TV & Radio” in the column corresponding to that Financial Year; and

(c) any increase or decrease in the portion of revenue from the Specified Contracts described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition thereof (as applicable) (or any replacement contract) that is dependent on the first team of MUFC qualifying for the Champions League in a Financial Year will be taken into account in calculating the figure in the row labelled “Nike” (in relation to the Nike Agreement) and the row labelled “Adidas” (in relation to the adidas Agreement) in the column corresponding to that Financial Year.

2. The add back in respect of each Financial Year shall be applied according to the following quarterly schedule:

Financial Quarter Ending |  | Percentage Application |
September |  | 20.0 | %
December |  | 45.0 | %
