	 	(c)	 Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 4.4(b), in the event of any uncertainty or ambiguity in any
instructions given to the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may, at its discretion, either (a) act upon its understanding of the meaning of such instructions, or (b) take no action until the relevant Obligor upon written request by the
Issuing Bank clarifies such instructions to the Issuing Bank’s satisfaction. The Issuing Bank shall not be held liable for any losses incurred by any Obligor as a result of any action which the Issuing Bank takes in the light of such
instructions.

payment to the Agent, before or after any relevant judgment. 
  

	5.4	 Maximum Rate of Interest 



In relation to the obligation of the Guarantor under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Finance
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Finance Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the
Guarantor is liable in relation to interest to be received by any Finance Party in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall, in relation to the Guarantor only, be applied to any other Outstanding Indebtedness or, if and as
long as it exceeds the other Outstanding Indebtedness, the Guarantor shall not be liable for such excess interest under this Agreement. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by a Finance Party exceeds the Maximum
Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterise any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(iii) amortise, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Agreement.

reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document). 


  

	 	(b)	 The obligations of each Bank under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate
balance of sums payable by that Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 


  

	 	(c)	 The obligations of any Bank under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which,
but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other Person) including: 



 

	 	(i)	 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of
Credit or other Person; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the release of any other Obligor or any other Person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any

 - 55 - 

 


	 	7.3) a net amount equal to the full amount which that Finance Party would have received had the payment not been subject to such a Tax Deduction; and 


 

	 	(c)	 such Obligor shall make such a Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with it within the time
allowed, and in the minimum amount required, by law. 


 For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Deduction made specifically with
respect to any U.S. withholding Tax (other than a FATCA Deduction) shall constitute a Tax Deduction for purposes of this Clause 7 (No Set-Off, Counterclaim or Tax Deduction). 

 

	7.4	 Exceptions to gross-up 



 

	 	(a)	 A payment shall not be increased under Clause 7.3 above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed
by the United Kingdom, if on the date on which the payment falls due: 


  

	 	(i)	 the payment could have been made to the relevant Bank without a Tax Deduction if the Bank had been a Qualifying
Bank, but on that date that Bank is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Bank other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Bank under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, implementation or application of)
any law or Treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

Bank; and: 


  

	 	(1)	 an officer of H.M. Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a

	 	(2)	 the payment could have been made to the Bank without any Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or



  

	 	(iii)	 the relevant Bank is a Qualifying Bank solely by virtue of paragraph (ii) of the definition of Qualifying
Bank and: 


  

	 	(1)	 the relevant Bank has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Account Party; and 



 

	 	(2)	 the payment could have been made to the Bank without any Tax Deduction if the Bank had given a Tax Confirmation
to the Account Party, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled the Account Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or



  

	 	(iv)	 the relevant Bank is a Treaty Bank and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment
could have been made to the Bank without the Tax Deduction had that Bank complied with its obligations under Clause 7.5(b) below. 















  
 - 56 - 

 


	7.5	 Obligations in respect of Tax Deductions 



 

	 	(a)	 Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax
Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction
has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority. 


  

	 	(b)	 


  

	 	(i)	 Subject to paragraph (ii) below, a Treaty Bank and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty
Bank is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. 



 

	 	(ii)	 


  

	 	(1)	 A Treaty Bank which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport
under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Schedule 1 (Banks and Commitments); and



  

	 	(2)	 a Transferee Bank that is a Treaty Bank that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and
which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Transfer Certificate which it executes, 



and, having done so, that Bank shall be under no obligation pursuant to paragraph (i) above. 

 

	 	(c)	 If a Bank has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with
paragraph (b)(ii) above and: 


  

	 	(i)	 an Obligor making a payment to that Bank has not made an Obligor DTTP Filing in respect of that Bank; or



  

	 	(ii)	 an Obligor making a payment to that Bank has made an Obligor DTTP Filing in respect of that Bank but:



  

	 	(1)	 that Obligor DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or 



 

	 	(2)	 HM Revenue & Customs has not given the Obligor authority to make payments to that Bank without a Tax
Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Obligor DTTP Filing, 


 and in each case, the Obligor has notified that Bank
in writing, that Bank and the Obligor shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. 

 

	 	(d)	 If a Bank has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with
paragraph (b)(ii) above, no Obligor shall make an 















  
 - 57 - 

 


	 	Obligor DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Bank’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Letter of Credit unless the Bank otherwise agrees.


  

	 	(e)	 An Obligor shall, promptly on making an Obligor DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that Obligor DTTP Filing to the
Agent for delivery to the relevant Bank. 


  

	7.6	 Tax Indemnity 



 

	 	(a)	 Except as provided below, each Obligor must indemnify each Protected Party against any loss or liability which
that Protected Party determines will be or has been suffered (directly or indirectly) by it for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document. Such
Obligor shall (within ten days of demand by the Agent) pay to that Protected Party an amount equal to such loss or liability. 


  

	 	(b)	 Clause 7.6(a) above does not apply to (and no Obligor shall be required under this Agreement to indemnify or
compensate any Protected Party for): 


  

	 	(i)	 any Tax assessed on a Protected Party: 



 

	 	(1)	 under the laws of the jurisdiction in which that Protected Party is incorporated or, if different, the
jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Protected Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or 


  

	 	(2)	 under the laws of the jurisdiction in which that Protected Party’s facility office is located in respect
of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction; 


 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net
income received or receivable (but not any payment deemed to be received or receivable) by that Protected Party (but any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Protected Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net
income received or receivable for this purpose); and 
  

	 	(ii)	 any loss, liability or cost to the extent it: 



 

	 	(1)	 is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 7.3; 



 

	 	(2)	 would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 7.3 but was not so compensated solely
because one of the exclusions in Clause 7.4 applied; or 


  

	 	(3)	 relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party. 



 

	 	(c)	 If the Agent on behalf of a Protected Party makes (or intends to make) a claim under Clause 7.6(a), it shall
promptly notify each Obligor of the event which has caused (or will cause) that claim. 


  

	7.7	 Tax Credit 



If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Protected Party determines that: 

 

	 	(a)	 a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment
or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and 















  
 - 58 - 

 


	 	(b)	 that Protected Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit in whole or in part, 



the Protected Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Protected Party in its sole and absolute discretion determines will leave it
(after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor. This Clause 7.7 shall not apply if the Protected Party has
reasonably determined that its actual or probable administration efforts or other resources or costs involved in making the necessary determinations are disproportionate to the amount otherwise payable by it under this Clause 7.7. 

 

	7.8	 Bank Status Confirmation 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Bank which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the
Transfer Certificate which it executes on becoming such a Party, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in: 



 

	 	(i)	 not a Qualifying Bank; 



 

	 	(ii)	 a Qualifying Bank (other than a Treaty Bank); 



 

	 	(iii)	 a Treaty Bank. 


  

	 	(b)	 If a Bank fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 7.8 then such Bank shall be treated for
the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Bank until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent upon receipt of such notification shall inform the Account Party). For the
avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Bank to comply with this Clause 7.8. 


  

	7.9	 VAT 


  

	 	(a)	 All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or
in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made
by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other
consideration for such supply), upon receipt from such Finance Party of a valid VAT invoice raised in accordance with the requirements of the Value Added Tax Act 1994, an amount equal to the amount of the VAT. 



 

	 	(b)	 If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to
any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the
consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): 


  

	 	(i)	 (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant
Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any
credit or repayment the Recipient is entitled to 















  
 - 59 - 

 


	 	receive from the relevant tax authority in relation to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant
Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in
respect of that VAT. 


  

	 	(c)	 Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense,
that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party is entitled to credit or repayment
in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 


  

	 	(d)	 Any reference in this Clause 7.9 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a
group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value
Added Tax Act 1994). 


  

	 	(e)	 In relation to any supply which is liable to VAT made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document,
if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s
VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply. 


  

	7.10	 FATCA Information 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Banking Days of a reasonable request by
another Party: 


  

	 	(i)	 confirm (by providing United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or any successor form or certificate on which such Party provides its FATCA status and, where applicable, its “global intermediary identification number,” if any) to that other Party
whether it is: 


  

	 	(1)	 a FATCA Exempt Party; or 



 

	 	(2)	 not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA
(including its applicable passthru payment percentage or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that
other Party’s compliance with FATCA. 


  

	 	(b)	 If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to 7.10(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it
subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly. 















  
 - 60 - 

 


	 	(c)	 Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its
reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: 


  

	 	(i)	 any law or regulation; 



 

	 	(ii)	 any fiduciary duty; or 



 

	 	(iii)	 any duty of confidentiality. 



 

	 	(d)	 If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in
accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then: 


  

	 	(i)	 if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be
treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be
treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%, 



until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. 

 

	 	(e)	 If an Obligor is a US Tax Obligor, or where the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA
require it, each Bank shall, within ten Banking Days of: 


  

	 	(i)	 where an Obligor is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Bank is an Original Bank, the date of this Agreement;



  

	 	(ii)	 where an Obligor is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Bank is a Transferee Bank, the date of any relevant
Transfer Certificate; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 where the Obligor is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent, 



supply to the Agent: 
  

	 	(iv)	 a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or 


  

	 	(v)	 any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the Agent may require to
certify or establish the status of such Bank under FATCA. 


 The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate,
withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Bank pursuant to this paragraph (e) to the Account Party and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement,
documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (e). 

 

	 	(f)	 Each Bank agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and
waivers provided to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly
notify the Agent in writing 















  
 - 61 - 

 


	 	of its legal inability to do so. The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers to the Account Party. The Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (f). 

  

	7.11	 FATCA Deduction 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA and any payment required in connection
with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction. 



 

	 	(b)	 Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change
in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Account Party, the Agent and the other Finance Parties. 



 

	7.12	 Immediate collateralisation – FATCA Protected Banks 



If on the date falling three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date for any payment by a Party to a FATCA Protected Bank (or to the
Agent for the account of that Bank), that Bank is not a FATCA Exempt Party and, in the opinion of that Bank (acting reasonably), that Party will, as a consequence, be required to make a FATCA Deduction from a payment to that Bank (or to the Agent
for the account of that Bank) on or after that FATCA Application Date (a “FATCA Event”), that Bank shall give notice to the other Parties. At the end of the expiry of 5 Banking Days after the date of that notice, the Required
Collateral Amount shall be increased so that thereafter it is the amount that it would otherwise have been plus all amounts for which that Bank is actually or contingently liable under all Letters of Credit then outstanding (subject to a maximum
amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent Amount of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), and the Parties shall use reasonable endeavours in good faith to negotiate arrangements whereby the Letters of Credit then outstanding
may be replaced by letters of credit or other assets on terms under which that Bank is not involved. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the other provisions of this Clause 7, including
Clauses 7.6(b)(ii)(3) and 7.11(a), shall apply to any payment made by any Party to a FATCA Protected Bank. 
  

	7.13	 United States Tax Forms 



 

	 	(a)	 On or before the date any Non-U.S. Bank becomes a party to this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Obligor or the Agent), such Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver to each Obligor and the Agent (or to such persons as they may reasonably
designate), whichever of the following is applicable: 


  

	 	(i)	 duly completed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 



 

	 	(ii)	 duly completed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI claiming an exemption from
withholding on payments by virtue of such income being effectively connected to the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and includible in such Non-U.S. Bank’s gross income, or
















  
 - 62 - 

 


	 	(iii)	 in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank or other
non-U.S. lender claiming the benefits of the “portfolio interest exemption” under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certification that such Non-U.S.
Bank is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Obligor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a
“controlled foreign corporation” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (B) duly completed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form). 


  

	 	(b)	 Any Bank that is not a Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver to the relevant
Obligor and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Obligor or the Agent), a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form thereto) or shall otherwise provide that it is exempt from backup withholding. 


  

	 	(c)	 No Finance Party shall be obligated to disclose to any Obligor or any other person any information regarding
its tax affairs or tax computations, nor shall anything in this Agreement interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatsoever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Finance Party shall be under any obligation
to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability by utilizing credits or deductions available to it (and, if it does claim, the extent, order and manner in which it does so shall be at its absolute discretion).



  

	7.14	 Maintenance of Register 



For U.S. federal income tax purposes only, the Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Obligor, shall maintain at one of its offices
a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Finance Parties and the Commitment of each Bank and the participation of each Bank in each Letter of Credit from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Agent and the Finance Parties may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Finance Party hereunder, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors and any Finance Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall
accept such Transfer Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register. Without limitation of any other provision of Clause 28 (Assignments and Transfers), no transfer or assignment shall be effective until recorded in
the Register. 
  

	8.	 ACCOUNTS OF THE BANK



  

	8.1	 Issuing Bank to open accounts 



The Agent will open and maintain on its books accounts showing the amounts owing to each Bank from the Obligors and the amounts of all payments
falling due and received by that Bank. 
  

	8.2	 Conclusiveness of entries 



The obligation of the Obligors to pay the Outstanding Indebtedness in respect of any Letter of Credit or any part thereof, to pay interest
thereon and to pay all other sums due under the Finance Documents shall be conclusively evidenced (in the absence of manifest error) by the entries from time to time made in the accounts opened and maintained under this Clause 8.

	9.	 APPLICATION OF MONEYS 



 

	9.1	 Order of application of partial payments 



 

	 	(a)	 If the Agent, Issuing Bank or Security Trustee receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the
amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Agent, Issuing Bank or Security Trustee shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:



  

	 	FIRST:	 in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent, Issuing Bank or Security
Trustee under the Finance Documents; 


  

	 	SECOND:	 in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;



  

	 	THIRD:	 in or towards payment pro rata of any reimbursement obligation due but unpaid under this Agreement;

	12.	 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

Finance Documents; 


  

	 	(b)	 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever any Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in
connection with any Finance Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; 


  

	 	(c)	 agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or
illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of any Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability,
invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the US Bankruptcy Code,
would become due and any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the relevant Finance Document, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any
such proceeding). The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 12 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee; 



 

	 	(d)	 agrees with each Finance Party that, as between the Guarantor and the Finance Parties, all amounts outstanding
under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of this Clause 12, notwithstanding any stay (including under the US Bankruptcy Code), injunction or other prohibition preventing the
same as against any other Obligor and that, in such event, all such amounts (whether or not due and payable by any such other Obligor) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Clause 12; and
















  
 - 68 - 

 


	 	(e)	 agrees that the obligation of the Account Party to deliver Collateral to the Secured Account and/or the Deposit
Accounts in accordance with Clause 11 (Collateral) will be an obligation covered by its obligations under this Clause 12.1, and that the performance of its obligations under this Clause 12.1 shall require it to transfer Eligible Collateral
into the Secured Account or the Deposit Accounts to the extent required to ensure that the Secured Account and the Deposit Accounts contain Eligible Collateral having a Collateral Value of not less than the Required Collateral Amount.



  

	12.2	 Continuing guarantee 



This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents,
regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 
  

	12.3	 Reinstatement 



If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or
otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability
of the Guarantor under this Clause 12 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 
  

	12.4	 Waiver of defences 



The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 12 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause,
would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 12 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including: 
  

	 	(a)	 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other Person;



  

	 	(b)	 the release of any other Obligor or any other Person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any
creditor of any member of the Group; 


  

	 	(c)	 the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up
or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other Person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement
in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; 


  

	 	(d)	 any legal limitation, incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change
in the members or status of an Obligor or any other Person; 


  

	 	(e)	 any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more
onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any Facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance
Document or other document or security; 


  

	 	(f)	 any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or frustration of any obligation of any Person under any Finance
Document or any other document or security; 


  

	 	(g)	 the failure of any member of the Group to enter into or be bound by any Finance Document;
















  
 - 69 - 

 


	 	(h)	 any action (or decision not to act) taken by a Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in
accordance with Clause 12.8 (Appropriations); or 


  

	 	(i)	 any insolvency, dissolution or similar proceedings or from any law, regulation or order. 



 

	12.5	 Guarantor intent 



Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 12.4 (Waiver of defences), the Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this
guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes
of or in connection with making available Letters of Credit to form part of the Funds at Lloyd’s of any Corporate Member to support its underwriting at Lloyd’s as a member of a syndicate; or any other variation or extension of the purposes
for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing. 
  

	12.6	 Limitation of Liability 



In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or US bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 12 (Guarantee and Indemnity) would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Clause 12, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantor, any Bank, the Agent, the
Security Trustee or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable under applicable state and federal laws without rendering this guarantee a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer
or subordinate to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 
  

	12.7	 Immediate recourse 



The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or
enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 12. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 

 

	12.8	 Appropriations 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may: 
  

	 	(a)	 refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party
(or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same;
and 


  

	 	(b)	 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the
Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 12. 















  
 - 70 - 

 


	12.9	 Deferral of Guarantor’s rights 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability
arising, under this Clause 12: 
  

	 	(a)	 to be indemnified by an Obligor; 



 

	 	(b)	 to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance
Documents; 


  

	 	(c)	 to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the
Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party; 



 

	 	(d)	 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any
obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 12.1 (Guarantee and indemnity); 


  

	 	(e)	 to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or



  

	 	(f)	 to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party. 



If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution
to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or
transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 9 (Application of Moneys).

	13.25	 Pari passu obligations 



The obligations of each Obligor under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents will rank at least pari passu with all of its other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and liabilities (not including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Corporate Member’s obligations and liabilities which its Funds at Lloyd’s and its premium and investment income in respect of its

	 	(a)	 Except as, either individually or in the aggregate, has not, and could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, the Guarantor and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder as they relate to each Plan. No ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 



 

	 	(b)	 Except as, either individually or in the aggregate, has not, and would not reasonably be expected to result in
material liability of the Guarantor or any of its ERISA Affiliates, the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (determined based on the projected benefit obligation with respect to such underfunded Plans based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.



  

	 	(c)	 Except as, either individually or in the aggregate, has not, and would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of Law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan. With respect to each Foreign
Pension Plan, none of the Guarantor, its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that would subject the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to a tax or
civil penalty that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to the Agent
in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable Law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such
















  
 - 77 - 

 


	 	Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the
aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value and
the projected fair market value of the assets held in trust under all such Foreign Pension Plans (including any assets to be funded pursuant to an agreed funding plan). 


 

	13.29	 Margin Regulations 



Neither the Guarantor nor the Account Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit
for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no Letter of Credit will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Guarantor or the Account Party
(respectively) shall consist of Margin Stock. 
  

	13.30	 Sanctions 



No Obligor, nor to the best of the knowledge and belief of any Obligor (having conducted all due and careful enquiry), any of its Affiliates,
directors or officers, is either:

	 	(d)	 a person or entity who is otherwise currently the subject of Sanctions by any Authority such that any Finance
Party cannot deal or otherwise engage in business transactions with such person or entity; 


  

	 	(e)	 aware of, has received formal notice of, or subject to any on-going or
active claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding involving it initiated by any Authority with respect to Sanctions; 


  

	 	(f)	 directly or indirectly engaging in activities for the benefit of any person on a Designated Parties List in
violation of Sanctions that apply to it in respect of those activities in any jurisdiction from which it carries on those activities or it has its head office;

	 	(a)	 a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on the Affected Bank’s (or its Affiliate’s)
overall capital;

return on capital to the Affected Bank or any of its Affiliates;

	20.2	 Notification 



In the event of an Increased Cost claim, the Affected Bank: 
  

	 	(a)	 shall promptly notify the Agent, the other Banks and the Obligors of any Increased Cost incurred by the

Increased Cost. 


  

	20.3	 Indemnification of Bank 



Subject to Clause 20.4 (Exceptions), the Obligors shall, as their joint and several obligation, within three Banking Days of a demand by

	20.4	 Exceptions 



Clause 20.3 (Indemnification of Bank) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is: 

 

	 	(a)	 attributable to a Tax Deduction required by Law to be made by an Obligor; 















  
 - 111 - 

 


	 	(b)	 attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; 



 

	 	(c)	 compensated for by Clause 7.6 (Tax Indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 7.6
(Tax Indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in paragraph (b) of Clause 7.6 (Tax Indemnity) applied); 


  

	 	(d)	 attributable to a wilful breach by the Affected Bank of any Law; or 



 

	 	(e)	 attributable to:

(“Basel II”); or 


  

	 	(ii)	 any other law or regulation which implements Basel II; 



(whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates); but this
Clause 20.4(e) does not apply to any Increased Cost attributable to any matter referred to in Clause 20.1(c).

Bank. 
  

	20.6	 Calculation of Reference Bank Rate  



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to paragraph (b) below, if LIBOR is to be determined on the basis of a Reference Bank Rate but a
Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the Reference Bank Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 



 

	 	(b)	 If at or about 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a quotation,
there shall be no Reference Bank Rate for the relevant period.

	 	(a)	 at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant period LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the
Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant currency and period; or 


  

	 	(b)	 before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant period, the Agent receives
notification from a Bank (an “Affected Bank”) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR. 



If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent, the Affected Banks (if applicable) and/or the Account Party so require, the Agent and the
Account Party shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining a rate of interest. Any alternative basis so agreed shall, with the prior consent














  
 - 112 - 

 

 of the Account Party and all the Banks or (as the case may be) the Affected Bank, be binding on
all of the parties. In the absence of such agreement, LIBOR shall be determined by the Agent by reference to the cost of funds of the Banks (or the relevant one of them) in obtaining such matching deposits. 

 

	20.8	 Separate Debt 



Any amount due from the Account Party under this Clause 20 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement. 
  

	21.	 ILLEGALITY 



 

	21.1	 Causes of illegality 



This Clause 21 applies if the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable Law, or in the interpretation thereof by any authority charged
with the administration thereof or by any court of competent jurisdiction, makes it unlawful for a Bank (the “Affected Bank”) to maintain or give effect to its obligations under this Agreement or makes it unlawful for any Affiliate
of a Bank for that Bank to do so. 
  

	21.2	 Notification 



The Affected Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, the other Banks and the Obligors of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in
Clause 21.1. 
  

	21.3	 Immediate collateralisation 



On so notifying the Obligors, the Affected Bank’s obligations under this Agreement that are unlawful shall terminate at the end of the
expiry of 5 Banking Days’ notice (unless the circumstances necessitate termination forthwith) and the Required Collateral Amount shall be increased so that thereafter it is the amount that it would otherwise have been plus all amounts for which
the Affected Bank is actually or contingently liable under all Letters of Credit then outstanding (subject to a maximum amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent Amount of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), and the
parties shall use reasonable endeavours in good faith to negotiate arrangements whereby the Letters of Credit then outstanding may be replaced by letters of credit or other assets on terms under which the Affected Bank is either not involved or is
involved in a manner that is not unlawful for it. 
  

	21.4	 Force majeure 



No Bank will be liable for any failure on its part to issue any Letter of Credit resulting, directly or indirectly, from any action, inaction
or purported action of any government or Governmental Agency or any strike, boycott or blockade or any cause whatsoever outside its control. 
  

	21.5	 Separate debt 



Any amount due from the Account Party under Clause 21.3 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement.

occurred and is continuing, or (ii) such transfer is to another Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank (being still a credit institution approved by Lloyd’s for the issue of letters of credit in respect of Funds at Lloyd’s).



  

	 	(c)	 The consent of the Account Party to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The

obligations under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, each Obligor and the Transferor Bank shall each be released from further obligations to the other under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and their respective rights
against each other shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this Clause 28.7 as “discharged rights and obligations”); 



 

	 	(b)	 each Obligor, the Transferee Bank and the other Finance Parties shall each assume obligations towards each
other and/or acquire rights against each other which differ from the discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the Transferee Bank has assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Transferor Bank; and 



 

	 	(c)	 the Transferee Bank and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations
between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the Transferee Bank been an original Party to this Agreement as a Bank with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of that transfer. 



 

	28.8	 Issue of replacement Letters of Credit following transfer 















  
 - 127 -

Commitment, rights and obligations of a Transferor Bank have been satisfied, it shall, subject to confirmation from Lloyd’s in a form satisfactory to the Agent that it will permit the same and subject to being satisfied with the applicable
substitution arrangements, issue, in replacement of each Letter of Credit then outstanding, a replacement Letter of Credit in which the Banks participate in proportion to their Commitments following such transfer, and the Issuing Bank shall
immediately cancel each replaced Letter of Credit as soon as such replaced Letter of Credit is returned to it. 


  

	 	(b)	 Each Finance Party and each Obligor hereby authorises the Issuing Bank to issue replacement Letters of Credit
under Clause 28.8(a) notwithstanding that the Commitment Period may have expired or that any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default may be continuing. 



 

	28.9	 Limitation on responsibility of Transferor Banks

condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Transferor Bank in connection with any Finance Document;
and 


  

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

obligations under this Agreement from service of process, jurisdiction, suit, judgment, execution, attachment (whether before judgment, in aid of execution or otherwise) or legal process, or to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be
