version anglaise:
" Art. 5. The subscribed capital of the corporation is fixed at FORTY-THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOL-
LARS US (43,400.- USD), represented by ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR (124) shares with a par value of
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS US (350.- USD) each.
The authorized capital of the corporation is fixed at FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS US
(434,000.-USD), to be divided into ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY (1,240) shares with a par value
of THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS US (350.- USD).
The authorized and subscribed capital of the corporation may be increased or reduced by a decision of the general
meeting of shareholders, voting with the same quorum as for an amendment of the articles of incorporation.
The board of directors may, during a period of five years from the date of publication of the extraordinary general
meeting dated December 7th, 2009 increase the subscribed capital within the limits of the authorized capital. Such increase
may be subscribed for and issued in the form of shares with or without an issue premium, as the board of directors shall
determine.
Moreover, the board of directors is authorized to issue ordinary or convertible bonds, in registered or bearer form,
with any denomination and payable in any currencies. Any issue of convertible bonds may only be made within the limits
of the authorized capital.
The board of directors shall determine the nature, the price, the interest rate, the conditions of issue and reimbur-
sement and any other conditions which may be related to such bond issue.
A ledger of the registered bondholders will be held at the registered office of the company.
The board of directors is specifically authorized to make such issues, without reserving for the existing shareholders,
a preferential right to subscribe for the shares to be issued. The board of directors may delegate to any duly authorized
person, the duty of accepting subscriptions and receiving payment for shares representing part or all of such increased
amounts of capital.
After each increase in the subscribed capital performed in the legally required form by the board of directors, the
present article will be adapted to this modification.
Shares may be evidenced at the owner's option, in certificates representing single shares or in certificates representing
two or more shares.
Shares may be issued in registered or bearer form, at the shareholder's option.
The corporation may, to the extent and under the terms permitted by law, purchase its own shares.
version française:
" Art. 5. Le capital social est fixé à QUARANTE-TROIS MILLE QUATRE CENTS DOLLARS US (43.400,-USD), re-
présenté par CENT VINGT QUATRE (124) actions d'une valeur nominale de TROIS CENT CINQUANTE DOLLARS

Le capital autorisé et le capital souscrit de la société peuvent être augmentés ou réduits par décision de l'assemblée
générale des actionnaires statuant comme en matière de modification des statuts.
le conseil d'administration est, pendant une période de cinq ans à partir de la publication de l'assemblée générale
extraordinaire datée du 7 décembre 2009, autorisé à augmenter en une ou plusieurs fois le capital souscrit à l'intérieur
des limites du capital autorisé. Ces augmentations de capital peuvent être souscrites et émises sous forme d'actions avec
ou sans prime d'émission ainsi qu'il sera déterminé par le conseil d'administration.
De même, le conseil d'administration est autorisé à émettre des emprunts obligataires convertibles ou non sous forme
d'obligations au porteur ou autre, sous quelque dénomination que ce soit et payables en quelque monnaie que ce soit,
étant entendu que toute émission d'obligations convertibles ne pourra se faire que dans le cadre du capital autorisé.
Le conseil d'administration déterminera la nature, le prix, le taux d'intérêt, les conditions d'émission et de rembour-
sement et toutes autres conditions y ayant trait.
Un registre des obligations nominatives sera tenu au siège social de la société.
Le conseil d'administration est spécialement autorisé à procéder à de telles émissions sans réserver aux actionnaires
antérieurs un droit préférentiel de souscription des actions à émettre. Le conseil d'administration peut déléguer tout
administrateur, directeur, fondé de pouvoir, ou toute autre personne dûment autorisée, pour recueillir les souscriptions
et recevoir paiement du prix des actions représentant tout ou partie de cette augmentation de capital.
Chaque fois que le conseil d'administration aura fait constater authentiquement une augmentation du capital souscrit,
il fera adapter le présent article.
Les actions de la société peuvent être créées au choix du propriétaire en titres unitaires ou en certificats représentatifs
de plusieurs actions.
Les titres peuvent aussi être nominatifs ou au porteur, au gré de l'actionnaire.

15.4. In determining the Market Value of any Ordinary Shares or Rollover PECs the subject of the Compulsory Transfer
Notice:
9731
(a) in the case of any Senior Executive who is a Departing Employee, the Company may propose to the relevant Senior
Executive a price (calculated on the basis set out in article 15.5) which if accepted by him shall be deemed to be the
Market Value for his Shares or Rollover PECs (as applicable). In the absence of agreement, Market Value shall be deter-
mined in accordance with article 15.5; and
(b) in the case of any other Departing Employee, Market Value shall be determined by the Corporate Group Remu-
neration Committee (acting reasonably) provided that the Corporate Group Remuneration Committee shall, in deter-
mining the Market Value, adopt the valuation principles set out in article 15.5 below.
15.5. Subject to article 15.4, the Market Value of any Ordinary Shares (the "Transferred Shares") or Rollover PECs
(the "Transferred Rollover PECs") the subject of the Compulsory Transfer Notice shall be their market value as at the
date of the Compulsory Transfer Notice as between a willing buyer and a willing seller as certified by the Auditors (subject
to article 15.6) acting as experts and not arbitrators and whose determination shall be final and binding on the parties
concerned in the absence of manifest error.
In arriving at the Market Value of any Transferred Shares, the Auditors shall be instructed to:
(a) disregard any rights or restrictions attached to the Shares and no discount shall be made by reason of such Shares
constituting a minority;
(b) determine the "Enterprise Value" which shall mean the price obtainable on a sale of:
(i) all of the issued shares of the Company of whatever class; and
(ii) all Debt Securities in issue (including all accruals and arrears of interest thereon),
together the "Stapled Equity" between a willing buyer and a willing seller (on the assumption that the Stapled Equity
is being sold for cash), assuming for the purpose of this article 15.5 that the Company is free of any indebtedness outs-
tanding under the Financing Documents as at the date of the Compulsory Transfer Notice;
(c) deduct from the Enterprise Value an amount equal to such amount which would be required as at the date of the
Compulsory Transfer Notice to refinance all amounts (including all arrears and accruals of interest, fees and other costs,
and expenses payable (other than any repayment penalties or fees" outstanding under the Financing Documents;
(d) deduct from the resultant figure an amount equal to that which would be required as at the date of the Compulsory
Transfer Notice to refinance all amounts (including all arrears and accruals of interest, fees and other costs and expenses
payable (other than any repayment penalties or fees" outstanding under the Debt Securities then in issue;
(e) use the resultant figure as the valuation of all of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company from which to
determine the market value of the Transferred Shares as between a willing buyer and a willing seller; and
(f) in determining the market value of any B Ordinary Shares, to assume that the date of the Compulsory Transfer
Notice is the Exit Date for the purpose of article 38 and that any Ordinary Shares which would, pursuant to article 38,
have been repurchased on such Exit Date have been repurchased.
In arriving at the Market Value of any Transferred Rollover PECs, the Auditors shall be instructed that, provided the
valuation of the issued share capital of the Company calculated in accordance with articles 15.5(a) to (e) (inclusive) above
is a positive figure, the Market Value of any Transferred Rollover PECs shall not be less than the nominal value of such
Rollover PECs plus any unpaid interest and penalty interest accrued thereon as at the date of the Compulsory Transfer
Notice and shall disregard any transfer restrictions attached to such Rollover Notes.
15.6. If the Auditors are unwilling or unable to act under article 15.5, then an Independent Expert shall determine the
Market Value in accordance with article 15.5 and the provisions of this article 15 shall apply as if references therein to
"Auditors" were to "Independent Expert" provided that in such circumstances the identity of the Independent Expert
shall be nominated by the Board and the relevant Senior Executive who is a Departing Employee or in the case of
disagreement as to such nomination, appointed at the request of the Board or the relevant Senior Executive who is a
Departing Employee by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
15.7. Where a Departing Employee who is a Senior Executive becomes a Departing Employee for a Good Reason, he
shall be entitled by written notice to the Company within six months after his Cessation Date to require the Board to
serve a Compulsory Transfer Notice in respect of all (but not some only) of his Rollover Equity and Rollover PECs, which
the Board shall serve within 10 Business Days after receiving such notice and which shall provide that the price for such
Rollover Equity and Rollover PECs shall be their Market Value and that the Rollover Equity and Rollover PECs shall be
transferred to persons in accordance with articles 15.9 and 15.10. If the Board is unable to procure purchasers for all of
such securities within 20 Business Days after the date of such Compulsory Transfer Notice (the "Notice Period"), the
Subscribers shall be obliged to acquire such securities for their Market Value in proportion to their holdings of A Ordinary
Shares within 20 Business Days of the end of the Notice Period.
15.8. The costs and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Company which shall be reimbursed by the
Departing Employee as to 50 per cent of such costs and expenses unless the value determined by the Auditors is 10 per
cent or more higher than that proposed by the Company, in which case such costs and expenses shall be borne by the
Company.
15.9. The Shares and Rollover PECs to be transferred pursuant to a Compulsory Transfer Notice shall be offered to
such Executives, employees of the Group, future employees of the Group and/or any Employee Trust and in such amounts
as the Chief Executive and Finance Director determine, provided that:
9732
(a) the number of B Ordinary Shares which may be acquired by the Executives pursuant to any such Compulsory
Transfer Notice shall not exceed one per cent, of the total equity share capital of the Company at such time;
(b) the number of A Ordinary Shares which may be acquired by the Executives pursuant to any such Compulsory
Transfer Notice shall not exceed GBP 500,000.- worth of A Ordinary Shares (calculated by reference to their Market
Value determined pursuant to Article 15.2);
(c) a pro rata amount of PECs must be acquired with any A Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to this article 15.9;
and
(d) (but only to the extent that) the effect of any such acquisition on the Group is tax neutral.
15.10. Any Shares or Rollover PECs not taken up by the persons to whom they are offered pursuant to article 15.9
shall be offered to employees, prospective employees of the Group or an Employee Trust as determined by the Chief
Executive and Finance Director or otherwise warehoused for future allocation by the Chief Executive and Finance Di-
rector to employees or prospective employees of the Group.
15.11. The rights attaching to the B Ordinary Shares set out in this article 15 shall not be varied or abrogated by the
Shareholders or the Company without the prior consent or sanction of the holders of more than 3/4 (three quarters) in
nominal value of the issued B Ordinary Shares provided that, in the case of this article 15 only, such consent shall not be
required if the variation or abrogation of rights is: (i) a variation or abrogation of the rights only of persons who are not
holders of B Ordinary Shares at that time; or (ii) does not adversely affect the holders of B Ordinary Shares at that time.
Art. 16. Transfer for Subscribers and DIC Co-Investors other than BLACKSTONE.
16.1. If at any time a Subscriber (other than a BLACKSTONE Shareholder, a DIC Shareholder or a DIC Co-Investor)
proposes to transfer or dispose of any of its Shares otherwise than in accordance with articles 10.1, 12, 13 or 14, it shall
first give notice in writing (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company of its desire to do so. The Transfer Notice shall:
(a) specify the number of Shares desired to be transferred or disposed of, being all (but not some only) of the Shares
(the "Offered Shares") held by the relevant and its their respective Associates (the "Vendor");
(b) specify the price per Share which the Vendor is willing to accept for the Offered Shares (the "Offer Price"), and
the identity of the proposed transferee, if any (the "Proposed Transferee");
(c) constitute the Company by its Managers as the Vendor's agent to offer and sell the Offered Shares to the other
Shareholders at the price per share specified in the Transfer Notice; and
(d) not be withdrawn except with BLACKSTONE's consent or as provided in article 16.5.
16.2. On receipt by the Company of a Transfer Notice it will, within seven days, offer the Offered Shares to the other
Shareholders who hold shares of the same class as the Offered Shares in proportion (as nearly as may be) to the number
of Shares of the same class as the Offered Shares held by them respectively. Every such offer shall be made in writing
specifying the offer price and the number of Shares offered (the "Proportionate Entitlement") and shall be accompanied
by forms of application for use by the Shareholder in applying for his Proportionate Entitlement (or part thereof) and for
any Shares in excess of such entitlement which he is prepared to purchase ("Excess Shares"). Every such offer shall be
open for acceptance in whole or in part within 21 days from the date of its despatch (which shall be specified in the
notice). Such offer shall, to the extent that the same is not accepted by any Shareholder in whole or in part within 21
days of the said date, be deemed to have been declined by such Shareholder.
16.3. At the expiry of the 21-day period under article 16.2, the Company shall allocate the Offered Shares in the
following manner:
(a) to each Shareholder who has accepted the offer in whole or part ("Purchasing Member"), there shall be allocated
his Proportionate Entitlement or such lesser number of Offered Shares for which he may have applied;
(b) if the number of any Offered Shares which remain unallocated is less than the total number of Excess Shares applied
for, the unallocated shares shall be allocated (as nearly as may be) in the proportions which the applications for Excess
Shares bear to one another;
(c) if the number of any Offered Shares which remain unallocated equals or is greater than the number of Excess Shares
applied for, each Shareholder who has applied for Excess Shares shall be allocated the number of Excess Shares for which
he applied.
16.4. Within seven days of the expiry of the 21-day period under article 16.2, the Company will notify the Vendor and
all Purchasing Members of the details of the applications which have been made and of the allocations made as between
Purchasing Members under article 16.3.
16.5. To the extent that the Company shall not find buyers for all the Offered Shares pursuant to the procedure set
out in articles 16.1 to 16.4 (inclusive), the Transfer Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn in respect of the Offered
Shares or, solely at the discretion of the Vendor, the provisions of article 16.7 shall apply.
16.6. The Vendor shall be bound, upon payment of the offer price (which payment shall be made within 14 days of
receipt of the final notification referred to in article 16.4), to transfer the shares which have been allocated to the
Purchasing Members pursuant to article 16.3 to such Purchasing Members. If, after becoming so bound, the Vendor makes
default in transferring the shares, the Company may receive the purchase money and the Vendor shall be deemed to have
appointed any one Manager of the Company as his duly appointed agent with full power to execute complete and deliver
9733
on behalf of the Vendor a transfer of the relevant shares to the Purchasing Members and, upon execution of such transfer,
the Company shall hold the purchase money in trust for the Vendor. The receipt of the Company for the purchase money
shall be a good discharge to each Purchasing Member and, after his name has been entered in the register of members
of the Company, the validity of the proceedings shall not be questioned by any person. The purchase money shall be paid
to the Vendor upon delivery up to the Company of his certificate or certificates for the relevant shares.
16.7. If all the Shares comprised in a Transfer Notice are not accepted by a Purchasing Member or Purchasing Members,
so that the Transfer Notice is deemed withdrawn under article 16.5, the Vendor may within six months after the date
on which he received notification of the details of the applications by Purchasing Members under article 16.4, transfer all
(but not some) of the remaining unsold Offered Shares to any person on a bona fide sale at a price per share not less
than the offer price save that:
(a) in the case of a transfer to a proposed transferee who is a person considered by the Board to be a competitor or
connected with a competitor of the business of Group a transfer may not be registered unless it shall first have been
approved by the Board; and
(b) the Board may require to be satisfied in such manner as it may reasonably require that the Offered Shares are
being sold in pursuance of a bona fide sale at a price per Share not less than the offer price without any deduction, rebate
or allowance whatsoever to the buyer and if not so satisfied may refuse to register the instrument of transfer.
16.8 A DIC Shareholder or a DIC Co-Investor may only transfer or dispose of any of their Shares in accordance with

Art. 33. The Company's financial year commences on the first of January and ends on the thirty-first of December.
Art. 34. Each year on the thirty-first of December, the accounts are closed and the Managers prepare an inventory
including an indication of the value of the Company's assets and liabilities. Each Shareholder may inspect the above
inventory and balance sheet at the Company's registered office.
Art. 35. Five per cent (5%) of the net profits are set aside for the establishment of a statutory reserve, until such
reserve amounts to ten per cent (10%) of the share capital. The balance may be freely used by the Shareholders.
The Shareholders may decide to pay interim dividends on the basis of a statement of accounts prepared by the manager
or the Board showing that sufficient funds are available for distribution, it being understood that the amount to be
distributed may not exceed realized profits since the end of the last fiscal year, increased by carried forward profits and
distributable reserves, but decreased by carried forward losses and sums to be allocated to a reserve to be established
by law or by these articles of incorporation.
Dividends in respect of Shares shall be allocated to Shareholders according to the following allocation scheme:
(a) a percentage of the aggregate amount available for distribution equal to the percentage of all the Shares in issue
represented by the B Ordinary Shares shall be allocated to the holders of the B Ordinary Shares and split between them
in the following proportions:
The holders of B1 Ordinary Shares, B2 Ordinary Shares, B3 Ordinary Shares and B4 Ordinary Shares shall be granted
a right to receive, pro rata, a preferred dividend representing 0.25% of the aggregate amount available with respect to
such shareholders' B Ordinary Shares. After the payment of any such preferred dividends, all remaining income available
9739
for allocation to the holders of B Ordinary Shares in the Company, if any, shall be paid to the holders of B5 Ordinary
Shares;
Should the B5 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the
time of the allocation, the holders of B4 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive all remaining income available for
allocation to the holders of B Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata payment of any preferred dividends to the holders
of B1 Ordinary Shares, B2 Ordinary Shares and B3 Ordinary Shares;
Should the B5 Ordinary Shares and B4 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their redemption, repurchase
or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of B3 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive all remaining
income available for allocation to the holders of B Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata payment of any preferred
dividends to the holders of B1 Ordinary Shares and B2 Ordinary Shares;
Should the B5 Ordinary Shares, B4 Ordinary Shares and B3 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their
redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of B2 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled
to receive all remaining income available for allocation to the holders of B Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata
payment of any preferred dividends to the holders of B1 Ordinary Shares; and
Should the B5 Ordinary Shares, B4 Ordinary Shares, B3 Ordinary Shares and B2 Ordinary Shares all have been cancelled
following their redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of B1 Ordinary Shares
shall be entitled to receive all remaining income available for allocation to the holders of B Ordinary Shares, if any.
(b) the remainder shall be allocated to the holders of the A Ordinary Shares and split between them in the following
proportions:
The holders of A1 Ordinary Shares, A2 Ordinary Shares, A3 Ordinary Shares and A4 Ordinary Shares shall be granted
a right to receive, pro rata, a preferred dividend representing 0.25% of the aggregate amount available with respect to
such shareholders' A Ordinary Shares. After the payment of any such preferred dividends, all remaining income available
for allocation to the holders of A Ordinary Shares in the Company, if any, shall be paid to the holders of A5 Ordinary
Shares;
Should the A5 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the
time of the allocation, the holders of A4 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive all remaining income available for
allocation to the holders of A Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata payment of any preferred dividends to the holders
of A1 Ordinary Shares, A2 Ordinary Shares and A3 Ordinary Shares;
Should the A5 Ordinary Shares and A4 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their redemption, repurchase
or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of A3 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive all remaining
income available for allocation to the holders of A Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata payment of any preferred
dividends to the holders of A1 Ordinary Shares and A2 Ordinary Shares;
Should the A5 Ordinary Shares, A4 Ordinary Shares and A3 Ordinary Shares have all been cancelled following their
redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of A2 Ordinary Shares shall be entitled
to receive all remaining income available for allocation to the holders of A Ordinary Shares, if any, after the pro rata
payment of any preferred dividends to the holders of A1 Ordinary Shares; and
Should the A5 Ordinary Shares, A4 Ordinary Shares, A3 Ordinary Shares and A2 Ordinary Shares all have been
cancelled following their redemption, repurchase or otherwise at the time of the allocation, the holders of A1 Ordinary
Shares shall be entitled to receive all remaining income available for allocation to the holders of A Ordinary Shares, if any.
6. G. Dissolution - Liquidation
Art. 36. In the event of a dissolution of the Company, the Company shall be liquidated by one or more liquidators,
which do not need to be Shareholders, and which are appointed by the general meeting of Shareholders which will
determine their powers and fees. Unless otherwise provided, the liquidators shall have the most extensive powers for
the realisation of the assets and payment of the liabilities of the Company.
Art. 37. On a return of capital on liquidation, reduction of capital or otherwise, the surplus assets of the Company
remaining after payment of its liabilities (including the PECs) shall be distributed amongst the holders of the Ordinary
Shares in the proportions set forth in article 35.
Art. 37A. The Shareholders may at any time (subject to the necessary consent of BLACKSTONE and subject to the
relevant provisions of Luxembourg law) resolve upon the liquidation, buyback or other capital reduction of all the Shares
representing one or more classes of Ordinary Shares (a "Partial Return of Capital") save that a return of capital through
the liquidation, buyback or other capital reduction of one class of A Ordinary Shares may only be effected if at the same
time one class of B Ordinary Shares is also liquidated, bought back or otherwise reduced and vice versa. Where a Partial
Return of Capital would result in no Shares remaining in issue, the provisions of article 37 shall apply. On a Partial Return
of Capital the surplus assets of the Company remaining after payment of its liabilities (including the PECs) shall be distri-
buted amongst the holders of Ordinary Shares in the proportions set forth in article 35.
Art. 38. Ratchet.
38.1. On the Exit Date, immediately prior to the occurrence of the relevant Exit (as appropriate), a number of B
Ordinary Shares (divided equally between all the classes of B Ordinary Shares in issue at the time) shall be repurchased
9740
by the Company at their nominal value, pro rata in respect of the holding of each B Ordinary Shareholder, rounded up
as necessary to the nearest whole B Ordinary Shares and/or (as appropriate) a number of A Ordinary Shares (divided
equally between all the classes of A Ordinary Shares in issue at the time) shall be repurchased at their nominal value, pro
rata in respect of the holding of each A Ordinary Shareholder, rounded up as necessary to the nearest whole A Ordinary
Share, as shall be determined in accordance with the principles set out in this article 38.
38.2. The "Ratchet Conditions" are satisfied where:
(a) the IRR is greater than 22 1/2 per cent; and
(b) the Subscribers have together received and/or are entitled to receive Cash Receipts equal to at least 2 1/2 times
all Subscribers' Cash Payments.
38.3. The total number and class of Ordinary Shares to be repurchased shall be such that, following such conversion,
the percentage of the Ratchet Share Capital represented by the B Ordinary Shares shall be determined as follows:
(a) first, establish the required value of the Ratchet Share Capital on the Exit Date ("X") such that, when allocated A
% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and the rest to the other Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share
Capital, is the lowest value that meets both the Ratchet Conditions;
(b) if the proportionate amount of the Equity Capitalisation attributable to the Ratchet Share Capital ("M") is less than
X then M shall be notionally allocated in the proportion A% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and the rest to the
other Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital;
(c) if M is greater than X, then X shall be notionally allocated in the proportion A% to the B Ordinary Shares (in
aggregate) and the rest to the other Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital. The excess of M over
X shall be notionally allocated in the proportions 75% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and 25% to the other
Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital;
(d) the notional allocations in articles 38.3(b) or 38.3(c) (as appropriate) shall be made and the proportion which the
aggregate of such allocations to the B Ordinary Shares bears to M shall be the proportion of the Ratchet Share Capital
to be represented by B Ordinary Shares following the repurchase by the Company of Ordinary Shares pursuant to article
38.1, provided that this proportion shall not exceed B%.
38.4. For the purpose of article 38.3 and 38.4A, "A" shall equal 9.5 and "B" shall equal 12.8.
38.4A If one or more Early Distributions have been made prior to the Exit Date, then article 38.3 will not apply and
instead the total number and class of Ordinary Shares to be repurchased shall be such that, following such conversion,
the percentage of the Ratchet Share Capital represented by the B Ordinary Shares shall be determined as follows:
(a) first, establish the required value of the Ratchet Share Capital on the Exit Date which when added together with
the cash amount of the Early Distributions on the A Ordinary Shares and B Ordinary Shares (together "X") such that,
when allocated A% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and the rest to the other Shares (in aggregate) comprised in
the Ratchet Share Capital, is the lowest value that meets both the Ratchet Conditions;
(b) if the proportionate amount of the Equity Capitalisation attributable to the Ratchet Share Capital plus the cash
amount of the Early Distributions on the A Ordinary Shares and B Ordinary Shares (together "M") is less than X, then
M shall be notionally allocated in the proportion A% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and the rest to the other
Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital;
(c) if M is greater than X, then X shall be notionally allocated in the proportion A% to the B Ordinary Shares (in
aggregate) and the rest to the other Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital. The excess of M over
X shall be notionally allocated in the proportions 75% to the B Ordinary Shares (in aggregate) and 25% to the other
Shares (in aggregate) comprised in the Ratchet Share Capital;
(d) the amount of the Equity Capitalisation attributable to the B Ordinary Shares comprised in the Ratchet Share
Capital will be the amount notionally allocated to them under 38.4A(b) or (c) less the cash amount of the Early Distri-
butions made in respect of the B Ordinary Shares provided that the proportion of M allocated to the B Ordinary Shares
cannot exceed B%. The amount of the Equity Capitalisation attributable to the A Ordinary Shares comprised in the Ratchet
Share Capital will be the amount notionally allocated to them under 38.4A(b) or (c) (subject as provided in the previous
sentence) less the cash amount of the Early Distributions made to those A Ordinary Shares.
38.5. If the holders of a majority in nominal value of the A Ordinary Shares and the holders of a majority in nominal
value of the B Ordinary Shares cannot agree the amount of the repurchase under article 38.3 prior to the repurchase
under article 38.1, immediately prior to the repurchase pursuant to article 38.1 the Company shall require the Independent
Expert to prepare a report setting out the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be repurchased and the number of
Ordinary Shares to be held by each Ordinary Shareholder following such conversion based on the provisions of articles
38.1 to 38.4A (inclusive). Such report shall be delivered to the Manager and each Shareholder as soon as reasonably
practicable prior to the meeting of the Company at which the share capital of the Company is reorganised prior the
approval of the Exit (the "Final Meeting"). If it is not possible to produce a final report at that time the Independent Expert
shall produce a draft report containing estimates prior to the Final Meeting and a final report as soon as practicable
thereafter.
38.6. The certificates for the Shares falling to be converted, if any, shall be deemed invalid for all purposes and the
relevant holders shall be bound to deliver the same to the Company for cancellation.
9741
38.7. Repurchase of Ordinary Shares in accordance with article 38.1 shall be deemed to confer an irrevocable authority
on the Company at any time thereafter to repurchase the same at their nominal value, without any requirement to obtain
the consent or sanction of the holders and, for the purposes of such purchase, to appoint a person to execute (on behalf
of the Shareholders) a contract for the sale to the Company of any Shares held by any such holders.
38.8. The rights attaching to the B Ordinary Shares set out in this article 38 shall not be varied or abrogated by the
Shareholders or the Company without the prior consent or sanction of the holders of more than (three quarters) in
nominal value of the issued B Ordinary Shares.
Art. 39. KIRKBI and DIC Group's rights.
39.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, the rights of KIRKBI under:
(a) article 20.2 (nomination of KIRKBI Manager) shall cease if KIRKBI's Actual Equity Percentage is less than 5% and
KIRKBI's Adjusted Equity Percentage is less than 15%;
(b) article 40 (Exit) shall cease if KIRKBI's Actual Equity Percentage is less than 5% and KIRKBI's Adjusted Equity
Percentage is less than 15%; and
(c) article 23.6 (Board observer) shall cease if KIRKBI's Actual Equity Percentage is less than 5%.
39.2. As long as KIRKBI and/or its Associates hold at least half of the number of Shares held by KIRKBI at adoption of
these Articles (but not counting in the number of Shares held by KIRKBI at adoption of these Articles any Shares which
have been transferred by it pursuant to Article 13), in the event that the Licensee terminates any agreement under which
it is licensed to operate Legoland Venues, KIRKBI shall have the option (the "KIRKBI Option") exercisable by written
notice given to the Company and BLACKSTONE within 30 days after such termination to require the Company to
purchase all of the Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders for cash at the Fair Drag Value as agreed between BLACKS-
TONE and KIRKBI or, in the absence of agreement within 10 Business Days after exercise of the KIRKBI Option, as
determined by an Independent Expert in accordance with article 13.4 mutatis mutandis. Completion of the KIRKBI Option
shall occur within 10 Business Days after the agreement or determination of the Fair Drag Value of the Shares held by
the KIRKBI Shareholders. Completion of the KIRKBI Option shall be subject to (i) the consent of each lender to the
Group and (ii) the purchase complying with Luxembourg law. BLACKSTONE undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours
to obtain any such lender consent and to exercise its rights as Shareholder to procure, so far as it is reasonably able to
do so, that all resolutions of the Company required to permit the KIRKBI Option to be completed once exercised are
passed. If, on exercise of the KIRKBI Option, the purchase of the Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders for cash as
contemplated by this article is not permitted by Luxembourg law or any lender to the Group, the consideration payable
by Company for Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders shall (if permitted by Luxembourg law and each lender to the
Group) instead be satisfied by the issue by the Company to KIRKBI of loan notes with an aggregate nominal value equal
to the Fair Drag Value of the Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders and an interest coupon being equal to the higher
of 8%, EURIBOR plus 5.84% and the interest on any PECs, loan notes or other Debt Securities held by any BLACKSTONE
Shareholder, and on terms that such loan notes shall be redeemed (together with any interest accrued thereon) as soon
as permitted by Luxembourg law and each lender to the Group.
39.3. Deliberately left blank.
Art. 40. Exit.
40.1. Subject to article 39, KIRKBI may, at any time following the Exit Target Date (but not more than once in any
calendar year), serve a notice on BLACKSTONE and the Company (an "Exit Notice") stating that it wishes to transfer
its Shares by way of a Listing.
40.2. On receiving an Exit Notice the Company must forthwith instruct the corporate finance group of an investment
bank of international standing which provides equity underwriting services in the United Kingdom (the "Investment Bank")
to:
(a) conduct and present to the Board a preliminary equity valuation of the Company (or a potential Ultimate Holding
Company) on a Listing being completed (the "Listing Valuation Report") including, if appropriate, a valuation of the Com-
pany following a restructuring of the capital (including the debt) of the Group;
(b) determine the "Fair Listing Value", which shall be the value of a Share as at the date of the Listing Valuation Report
(the "Relevant Date"), determined in accordance with the principles set out below:
40.3. The Investment Bank shall deliver a draft of the Listing Valuation Report and determination of the Fair Listing
Value to BLACKSTONE, KIRKBI, the DIC Group, the DIC Co-Investors and the Board within twenty-five (25) Business
Days of being instructed pursuant to article 40.2, and will give each of them a reasonable opportunity to comment on
the basis and assumptions on which it has been prepared before it is finalised. The Investment Bank will deliver its final
Listing Valuation Report and determination of the Fair Listing Value to the Board, BLACKSTONE, KIRKBI, the DIC Group
and the DIC Co-Investors within thirty-five (35) Business Days of being instructed pursuant to article 40.2.
40.4. On or before the day 30 Business Days after the day on which the final Listing Valuation Report is delivered to
the Board, BLACKSTONE may elect (by giving notice to the Board, the DIC Group, the DIC Co-Investors and KIRKBI)
either:
(a) to purchase all the Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders (the "Subject Shares") (the "BLACKSTONE Option")
9742
(b) to require the Company to purchase all the Shares held by the KIRKBI Shareholders (the "Company Option"),
subject to article 40.6.
40.5. The price at which the Subject Shares are acquired will be the price agreed between BLACKSTONE and KIRKBI
or, if BLACKSTONE and KIRKBI are unable to agree a price for all the Subject Shares before the exercise of the
BLACKSTONE Option or the Company Option (as applicable), the Fair Listing Value of the Subject Shares.
40.5a. In determining the Fair Listing Value:
(a) the Investment Bank shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and its determination of the Fair Listing Value shall
be final, in the absence of manifest error;
(b) the Investment Bank shall be permitted to conduct due diligence (including a review of the business and financial
information, business plan and discussions with the Company's shareholders and key management) of the past and current
operations, financial conditions and positioning within the industry, strategic guidelines and prospects of the Group,
including any plans approved by the Board;
(c) the Investment Bank will confine itself to the strategic plans approved by the Board as at the Relevant Date. It will
not take into consideration any potential strategic initiatives or material deviations from any business plan not approved
by the Board and will consider projections only to the extent they have been prepared to the standards that would be
required in any prospectus published in the United Kingdom.
40.5b. the Investment Bank will perform a series of analyses of:
(a) the net asset value of the Company;
(b) the financial projections for the Group prepared to a standard which would be required in a prospectus in the
United Kingdom;
(c) market trading multiples of comparable businesses; and
(d) the market discount appropriate to reflect the fact that markets typically require a discount on a Listing in order
to compensate investors for the risk of buying shares with no price history.
40.5c. The Investment Bank shall:
(a) assume a fully underwritten Listing and a fully subscribed issue of that proportion of the equity in the Company:
(i) most likely to maximise the price of the Shares on a Listing; and (ii) required to retire sufficient of the Group's debt
to satisfy investors as to the viability without further share issues of the Company as a stand alone group;
(b) if the Company is then carrying on business as a going concern, assume that it will continue to do so;
(c) assume that the Subject Shares are capable of being transferred without restriction;
(d) attach no reduced or additional value to any holding of Shares by virtue of the holding comprising or after purchase
conferring a majority or minority of the total issued share capital of the Company;
40.5d. The Investment Bank shall also:
(a) deduct any discount which would be expected to apply upon a Listing, and any fees or commissions to be allowed
to underwriters (assuming a competitive selection process for awarding the mandate) with regard to the methodology
for marketing and placing the Shares deemed most appropriate by the Investment Bank, and other offering expenses
(roadshow, legal, PR, printing etc.); and
(b) take account of the results of the analyses described in article 40.5B.
40.6. Completion of the BLACKSTONE Option or the Company Option shall occur within 20 Business Days after
the exercise of the option. If the BLACKSTONE Option is exercised then payment for the Shares is to be made in cash
to the order of KIRKBI. If the Company Option is exercised then payment in cash to KIRKBI shall be made subject to:
(i) the consent of each lender to the Group; and (ii) the purchase complying with Luxembourg law. BLACKSTONE
undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours to obtain any such lender consent and to exercise its rights as Shareholder
to procure, so far as it is reasonably able to do so, that all resolutions of the Company required to permit the Company
Option to be completed and payment made to KIRKBI in cash once exercised are passed.
40.8. If, on exercise of the Company Option, the purchase of Company Shares for cash as contemplated by this article
40 is not permitted by Luxembourg law or any lender to the Group, the consideration payable by Company for the
