23.6 The Issuer is entitled to request the removal of a Subsidiary Guarantor, as a
Subsidiary Guarantor, by notice in writing to the Noteholders. The Noteholders will

Guarantee and the Issuer delivers a certificate to the Noteholders confirming that
the Subsidiary seeking to be released is no longer a Material Subsidiary and that if
such Subsidiary is released there will not be any Financial Support Deficit. Subject
to the terms of the Finance Documents, such termination shall take effect from the

ANNEXE "B"
ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS IN RESPECT OF THE GROUP 1 NOTES
ANNEXE "C"
SECURITY STRUCTURE
The Group 1 Notes and other Secured Creditors share in the same Security.
SECURITY SPV
The Security SPV will irrevocably bind itself under a Security SPV Guarantee to Secured Creditors
subject to the conditions stated therein, for the obligations of the Obligors to Secured Creditors
under the Finance Documents. Pursuant to such Security SPV Guarantee, the Security SPV will
undertake in favour of each Secured Creditor to pay it the full amount then owing to it by an
Obligor on written demand from the Security Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors. Such
demand may be made by the Security Agent following a decision to this effect by the Secured
Creditors in terms of the Intercreditor Security Enforcement Agreement. Following an Event of
Default under the Group 1 Notes or following an event of default under the relevant Hedging
Agreement or Facility Agreement, as the case may be, the Trustee (on behalf of the Group 1
Noteholders), a Lender or a Hedging Provider may unilaterally declare the amounts outstanding
under the Group 1 Notes, the relevant Hedging Agreement or Facility Agreement, as the case may
be, to be immediately due and payable. If there is a failure by the Issuer to pay the amount due to a
Secured Creditor upon delivery of such an acceleration notice, a decision may be made by the
Secured Creditors in terms of the Intercreditor Security Enforcement Agreement, requiring the
Security Agent to make a demand under the Security SPV Guarantee.
The liability of the Security SPV pursuant to the Security SPV Guarantee will be limited in the
aggregate to the net amount recovered by the Security SPV from the Obligors arising out of the
Indemnity and, if necessary, the Security Documents referred to below.
The Lenders, Hedge Providers and Group 1 Noteholders will be bound by intercreditor
arrangements in terms of the Intercreditor Security Enforcement Agreement, including in relation to
making a decision to make a demand under the Security SPV Guarantee and to give instructions to
the Security SPV in relation to exercising or enforcing any right or remedy under any of the
Security Documents against the Issuer or any Security Provider.
OBLIGOR INDEMNITY
Each Obligor will indemnify the Security SPV in respect of claims that may be made against the
Security SPV arising out of the Security SPV Guarantee. An Obligor shall not be entitled to refuse
to make payment under the Indemnity to the Security SPV by reason of the fact that the Security
SPV has not paid the claims of the Secured Creditors under the Security SPV Guarantee nor shall
an Obligor be entitled to refuse to make payment by reason of the fact that the liability of the
Security SPV in respect of any such Security SPV Guarantee is limited in the manner set out in the
Security SPV Guarantee.
SECURITY DOCUMENTS
In accordance with the Security Documents, each Obligor agrees to cede in security its right, title
and interest in and to its bank accounts and trade receivables, owned from time to time, all on the
terms and as described in such Security Documents, to the Security SPV, as security for the
obligations of that Obligor to the Security SPV under the Indemnity.
