	2.7	Purpose

	2.9	Payment of Interest on Term Loan 

  

	 	2.9.1	Interest Rate Term Loan

	 	2.9.2	Default Rate

impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by an Obligor pursuant to the Loan Documents (including Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the Default Rate. Payment

30 April 2018 (in respect of Tranche 2 only) or such other date as Agent may in its absolute discretion agree. Such notice shall be in the form of a completed Loan Payment/Advance Request Form in the form attached as Exhibit
A and shall specify (i) the date the Term Loan is to be made (which in respect of Tranche 1 only shall be a date falling at least 10 Business Days after the date of this Agreement), subject to the provisions of this Clause 3.4;
(ii) the amount of such Term Loan; and (iii) such other procedural requirements as Agent has notified to Borrower in advance of the Drawdown Date. If such notification is by telephone, Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by

given by a Person whom the Finance Parties reasonably believe is a Responsible Officer or designee. The Obligors shall indemnify the Finance Parties for any loss the Finance Parties suffer due to such reliance unless caused by the Finance Parties
negligence or intentional misconduct.

initial perfection of such interest in favour of the Security Agent continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (it being acknowledged by the parties hereto that perfection of a security interest shall only be
required to the extent (and in the jurisdictions) set out in the Loan Documents). If this Agreement is terminated, Security Agent’s Lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations are fully satisfied.


  

	5	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 Each Obligor, as the case may be, represents and
warrants to the Finance Parties as follows: 
  

	5.1	Due Incorporation and Authorisation; Power and Authority 

  

	 	5.1.1	 The Borrower is a public company and each Guarantor is a private company with limited liability, duly
incorporated and validly existing under the laws of England and Wales and has power to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to own its property and other assets. In connection with this Agreement, the Borrower has delivered to the
Agent a certificate signed by it and, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”) relating to itself and each Guarantor. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Finance Parties that: (a) its
exact legal 



  
 11 









	 	name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) it is an organisation of the type, and is incorporated in the jurisdiction, set out in the Perfection Certificate; and
(c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets out each Obligor’s registered number; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets out such Obligor’s corporate seat and its registered office as well as such Obligor’s
postal address if different from its registered office, and (e) all other information set out in the Perfection Certificate pertaining to such Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries including as to its assets and liabilities, the material
Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that such Obligor may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Closing Date to the extent permitted by one or
more specific provisions in this Agreement). 

  

	 	5.1.2	The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Obligor is a party are within the corporate powers of such Obligor, have been duly authorised by all necessary
corporate and other action and do not and will not conflict with (i) any law or regulation applicable to it; (ii) the constitutional documents of such Obligor or any other organisational documents; (iii) any agreement or instrument
binding on such Obligor or (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full
force and effect and customary filings with any Governmental Authority necessary to register or perfect any Lien created pursuant to the Loan Documents) or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which such Obligor is
bound. Each Obligor is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it or its assets are bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Obligor’s business.


  

	 	5.1.3	No Obligor is a FATCA FFI or a US Tax Obligor. 

  

	5.2	Collateral 

  

	 	5.2.1	Each Obligor has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or any Lien arising in the ordinary course of business of such Obligor which is discharged in the ordinary course of business of such
Obligor. Each Obligor has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Agent in connection herewith, or of which such Obligor has given Agent notice and taken such actions as are
necessary to give Security Agent a perfected security interest therein. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of each relevant Account Debtor. 

  

	 	5.2.2	 The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise
provided in the Perfection Certificate. 



  
 12 









	 	None of the components of any tangible Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Clause 9.6 (Encumbrance). 


 

	 	5.2.3	Each Obligor is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licences granted to its customers, agents, partners or suppliers, in the ordinary course of
business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed or sub-licensed to such Obligor and noted on the Perfection Certificate. Save in respect of any Permitted
Liens, each Obligor’s Intellectual Property is not subject to any Liens. To the knowledge of each Obligor, each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to such Obligor’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part
of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to such Obligor’s business has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of each Obligor’s knowledge, no claim has
been made that any part of the Intellectual Property infringes the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Obligor’s business. 


 

	 	5.2.4	Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, each Obligor is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted Licence. 

  

	5.3	Litigation 

 There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of such
Obligor’s Responsible Officers or legal counsel, threatened (save for any speculative claims by employees or former employees or oppositions to any third party intellectual property filings in the ordinary course of an Obligor’s protection
of its intellectual property rights) by or against such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, One Hundred Thousand Pounds (£100,000) (or its equivalent in any other
currency. 
  

	5.4	Financial Statements; Financial Condition 

  

	 	5.4.1	All consolidated financial statements for the Obligors and any of their Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates (if any) truly and fairly present the Group’s financial condition and results of operations. There has not been
any material deterioration in the Group’s assets, liabilities, financial condition or prospects as a whole since the date of such financial statements (“Accounts Date”). 


 

	 	5.4.2	The unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries since the Accounts Date up to 30 June 2017 (“Management Accounts Date”) fairly present the assets, liabilities,
financial condition and prospects of the Group and so far as the Borrower is aware there has been no material deterioration in the Group’s assets, financial condition or prospects since the Management Accounts Date. 


  
 13 









	5.5	Forecasts and projections

behalf of an Obligor to the Agent were carefully prepared and believed by such Obligor to be not misleading in any material respect at the date on which they were provided.

	5.8	Regulatory Compliance 

 To the best of each Obligors’ knowledge, each Obligor has
not breached any laws, ordinances or rules or regulations, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of any Obligor’s (or any of its Subsidiaries/Affiliates) property or assets has been used by
such Obligor or, to the best of such Obligor’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Each Obligor (and each of its Subsidiaries/Affiliates) has
obtained all consents, approvals and authorisations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to be detrimental to such Obligor’s business. 
  

	5.9	Subsidiaries; Investments 

 Each Obligor does not own any stock, partnership interest or
other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. 
  

	5.10	Taxation 

 Each Obligor has complied in all material respects with all Taxation laws in
all jurisdictions in which it is subject to Taxation and has paid all Taxes due and payable by it and no claims are being asserted against it in respect of Taxes save for 

  
 14

latest accounts of such Obligor or information delivered to Agent under this Agreement. 
  

	5.11	Full Disclosure 

 No written representation, warranty or other statement of any Obligor
in any certificate or written statement given to Agent, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Agent, contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognised by Agent that the projections and forecasts provided by such Obligor in good faith
and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results). 

 

	5.12	No winding-up 

 Each Obligor has not taken any corporate or other action nor has any
application been made or have any other steps been taken or legal proceedings been started or (to the best of such Obligor’s knowledge and belief having made due and proper enquiry) threatened against such Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries/Affiliates for its winding-up or for the appointment of a trustee, liquidator, receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or similar officer of it or of any or all of its assets. 

 

	5.13	AIM Status 

 The shares of the Borrower are duly admitted to trading on AIM and no
circumstances exist to the Borrower’s knowledge which are reasonably likely to cause the suspension or cancellation of such admission. The Borrower has complied and continues to comply with all AIM Rules and Disclosure and Transparency Rules

	5.14	Patents 

 The Borrower owns the Patents and has good title to, has rights in, and the

or otherwise restricts such Obligor from granting a charge in such Obligor’s interest in such licence or agreement or any other property. Each Obligor shall provide written notice to Agent within fifteen (15) days of entering or becoming
bound by, any such 

  
 15 








 licence or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s
business or financial condition. Each Obligor shall take such steps as Agent reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, authorisation by or waiver by, any Person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licences or contract rights to be
deemed Collateral and for Agent to have a charge in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such licence or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future. 

 

	5.16	Subordinated debt

 For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a
representation or warranty is made to any Obligor’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” such Obligor’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable

such Obligor’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

  

	 	6.1.2	Obtain all of the Governmental Approvals (if any) necessary to carry on its business and for the performance by such Obligor of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security

respect of the purchase of any of its share capital except in each case in respect of any long term incentive plans or employee and officer shares schemes in operation in respect of each Obligor. 

 

	9.8	Transactions with Affiliates 

 Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any
material transaction with any Affiliate of an Obligor, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of such Obligor’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favourable to such Obligor than would be obtained in an

remedies provided by law, or in equity. Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver,

 A Finance Party may make any FATCA Deduction it
is required by FATCA to make together with any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and the relevant Finance Party shall not 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. If a Finance Party becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another Party (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA
Deduction), it shall notify that Party. 

  
 37 









	 	11.6.15	Tax credit and FATCA 

 If an Obligor makes a FATCA Payment and a Finance Party
determines that: 
  

	 	(a)	a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax is attributable to an increased payment of which that FATCA Payment forms part, to that FATCA Payment or to a FATCA Deduction in consequence of which
that FATCA Payment was required; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that credit, 

 the Finance Party shall
pay an amount to the Obligor which the Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same position after Tax as it would have been in had the FATCA Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor. 

 

	11.7	Tax indemnity 

  

	 	11.7.1	On the later of ten (10) Business Days before the due date for payment of the relevant Tax and ten (10) Business Days after the date on which a Lender serves a demand on the Borrower requesting payment
pursuant to this Clause 11.7.1, the Borrower shall pay the Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which the Lender reasonably determines that it has directly or indirectly suffered or will directly or indirectly suffer in relation to
Tax in respect of amounts payable to it under a Loan Document. A Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Borrower in writing as soon as it is aware that it may be reasonably likely to make a claim pursuant to the indemnity in this
Clause 11.7.1. In the event that, after receiving a demand for payment pursuant to this Clause 11.7.1, the Borrower, acting reasonably, believes that such claim is inaccurate or can be mitigated, the relevant Lender and the Borrower shall engage in
good faith discussions for a period not exceeding one month after the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the demand for payment, to seek to resolve such claim by mutual agreement and any timeframes for payment of Tax by the Borrower shall be
extended accordingly. If any such demand that is contested pursuant to the foregoing sentence is not resolved in such one month period, it shall constitute a Dispute and resolved pursuant to Clause 15. 


 

	 	11.7.2	Clause 11.7.1 shall not apply to: 

  

	 	(a)	any Tax assessed on the Lender under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Lender is incorporated or resident for tax purposes if that Tax is imposed on, or calculated by reference to, the net income, profits or
gains received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by the Lender; or 

  

	 	(b)	the extent that a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.6 (Withholding; Gross-up); 


  
 38 









	 	(c)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.6 (Withholding; Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because Clause 11.6.3 applied; or 


 

	 	(d)	the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by any party. 

  

	 	11.7.3	If the Agent on behalf of the Lenders makes (or intends to make) a claim under Clause 11.7.1, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event which has caused (or will cause) that claim. 


 

	11.8	Stamp taxes 

 The Borrower shall pay and, within five (5) Business Days of demand,
indemnify the Agent on behalf of the Lender against any cost, loss or liability the Lender incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document. 

 

	11.9	Value Added Tax 

  

	 	11.9.1	All amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under a Loan Document, that (in whole or in part) constitute consideration for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of VAT. Subject to Clause 11.9.2, if VAT is
chargeable on any supply made by the Lender to the Borrower under a Loan Document, the Borrower shall pay the Agent (in addition to, and at the same time as, paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT and the Lender shall
promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrower. 

  

	 	11.9.2	Where a Loan Document requires the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for any costs or expenses, the Borrower shall, at the same time, reimburse and indemnify the Agent on behalf of the Lenders against all VAT incurred by
the Lender in respect of those costs or expenses. The amount payable shall be the amount that the Lender reasonably determines is the amount that neither it, nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes, is entitled to
recover from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT. 

  

	11.10	Other indemnities 

  

	 	11.10.1	Each Obligor indemnifies, defends and holds each Finance Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents or any other person affiliated with or representing such Finance Party (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless against: 

  

	 	(a)	all direct obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents including without
limitation, any cost, loss or liability arising as a result of clause 5 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) of the Agency and Security Trust Deed; 


  
 39 









	 	(b)	any payment made to the Agent or the Security Agent pursuant to clause 3.11 of the Agency and Security Trust Deed; and 

  

	 	(c)	all direct losses or bank expenses incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person from, following, or consequential to transactions between the Finance Parties and such Obligors (including legal and audit fees and
expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

  

	11.11	Illegality 

 If it shall become unlawful for the Lenders to continue to fund or maintain
any Credit Extensions, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Agent, the Obligors shall prepay the Credit Extensions in full with all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by such Obligors hereunder. The Term Loan
Early Termination Fee shall not be payable by the Obligors where such illegality or unlawfulness arises as a result of an act or omission on the part of the Agent but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loan Early Termination Fee shall be payable
by the Obligors where such illegality or unlawfulness arises as a result of any act or omission on such Obligor’s part. 
  

	11.12	Additional Costs 

  

	 	11.12.1	Borrower shall pay Agent, promptly after receipt of a written demand and suitable evidence of the cost having been incurred by Agent, from time to time such amounts as Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to
compensate it for any costs incurred by Agent that Agent determines are directly attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Agent hereunder in respect of any Credit Extensions relating thereto (such increases in costs and
reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any regulatory change which: 

  

	 	(a)	changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Agent under this Agreement in respect of any Credit Extensions (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Agent by
the jurisdiction in which Agent has its principal office); 

  

	 	(b)	imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Agent; or 


 

	 	(c)	imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities), 


  
 40 








 (each of the events specified at Clauses 11.12.1(a), 11.12.1(b) and 11.12.1(c) (except an event
attributable to the wilful breach by the Agent or any of its Affiliates of any law or regulation) being a “Regulatory Change”). 
  

	 	11.12.2	Agent will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle Agent to compensation pursuant to this Clause 11.12 (Additional Costs) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge
thereof and determines to request such compensation. Agent will furnish Borrower with a statement setting out the basis and amount of each request by Agent for compensation under this Clause 11.12 (Additional Costs). Determinations and allocations
by Agent for purposes of this Clause 11.12 (Additional Costs) of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Credit Extensions, of making or maintaining Credit Extensions, or on amounts receivable by it in
respect of Credit Extensions, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Agent in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 


 

	 	11.12.3	If Agent shall determine (acting reasonably) that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Agent or any person or entity controlling Agent (a
“Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) days after demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay to Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent for such reduction. A statement of
Agent claiming compensation under this Clause 11.12 (Additional Costs) and setting out the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 


 

	11.13	Indemnity to the Agent 

  

	 	11.13.1	The Borrower shall promptly indemnify the Agent against: 

  

	 	(a)	any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Agent (acting reasonably) as a result of: 

  

	 	(i)	investigating any event which it reasonably believes is an Event of Default; 


  
 41 









	 	(ii)	acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which it reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; or 


 

	 	(iii)	instructing lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts as permitted under this Loan Agreement; and 


 

	 	(b)	any reasonable cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent’s gross negligence
or wilful misconduct) in acting as Agent under the Loan Documents. 

  

	11.14	Indemnity to the Security Agent 

  

	 	11.14.1	Each Obligor jointly and severally shall promptly indemnify the Security Agent and every Receiver against any reasonable cost, loss or liability incurred by any of them as a result of: 


 

	 	(a)	any failure by the Borrower to comply with its obligations under Clause 2.10.2 (Lenders Expenses) and Clause 11.4 (Lenders Expenses); 


 

	 	(b)	acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which it reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; 


 

	 	(c)	the taking, holding, protection or enforcement of the Security Document; 

  

	 	(d)	the exercise of any of the rights, powers, discretions, authorities and remedies vested in the Security Agent and each Receiver by the Loan Documents or by law; 


 

	 	(e)	any default by any Obligor in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in the Loan Documents; or 

  

	 	(f)	acting as Security Agent or Receiver under the Loan Documents or which otherwise relates to any of the Collateral (otherwise, in each case, than by reason of the relevant Security Agent’s or Receiver’s gross
negligence or wilful misconduct). 

  

	 	11.14.2	The Security Agent and every Receiver may, in priority to any payment to the Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify itself out of the Collateral in respect of, and pay and retain,
all sums necessary to give effect to the indemnity in this Clause 11.14 and shall have a lien on the Security Documents and the proceeds of the enforcement of the Security Documents for all moneys payable to it. 


  
 42 









	11.15	FINANCE PARTIES OBLIGATION 

  

	 	11.15.1	The Finance Parties each acknowledge that the Borrower is a company whose financial instruments are traded in a Multilateral Trading Facility and that information of the Group provided to them pursuant to the Loan
Documents may constitute inside information for the purposes of the Market Abuse Regulation (“MAR”) and other applicable legislation. Accordingly, each of the Finance Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenant with the
Obligors that: 

  

	 	(a)	such Finance Party will create and keep up to date a list of any individuals who have access to any information from the Group in respect of the Loan Documents (or disclosed to them in connection with the Loan
Documents) in the form provided to such Finance Party by the Borrower on or around the date of this Agreement or in such other form as may be reasonably agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Finance Party (such lists being “Finance Party
Insider Lists”); 

  

	 	(b)	such Finance Party shall promptly provide a copy of any Finance Party Insider List held by it to the Borrower or to the Financial Conduct Authority upon request in writing by either of the foregoing; 


 

	 	(c)	such Finance Party shall retain all copies of any Finance Party Insider Lists held by it for not less than five (5) years after the expiration of any obligations owed by the Obligors to the Finance Parties pursuant
to the Loan Documents; 

  

	 	(d)	such Finance Party shall take reasonable measures to ensure that any person named on a list is aware of the sanctions that may apply for any misuse or unauthorised distribution of any inside information held by them in
respect of any members of the Group; and 

  

	 	(e)	such Finance Party shall take all measures necessary or desirable within its control to ensure that it is in compliance with the requirements of MAR and any similar applicable legislation in relation to such inside
information provided to it pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

  

	12	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 

  

	12.1	Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally: 

  

	 	12.1.1	guarantees to the Finance Parties punctual performance by the Borrower of all such Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents; 


  
 43 









	 	12.1.2	undertakes with the Finance Parties that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Loan Document and after any applicable grace period has expired, that Guarantor shall
promptly and without delay on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and 

  

	 	12.1.3	agrees with the Finance Parties that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Finance Parties promptly and
without delay on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Loan Document on the date
when it would have been due. 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. 


 

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


  

	12.3	If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of the Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Agent 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 each Guarantor under this Clause 12 will continue or be reinstated as if the
discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

  

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

  

	 	12.4.1	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Borrower or other person; 

  

	 	12.4.2	the release of the Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Borrower; 


 

	 	12.4.3	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, the Borrower 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; 


  
 44 









	 	12.4.4	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrower or any other person; 


 

	 	12.4.5	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Loan 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 Loan Document or other document or security; 


 

	 	12.4.6	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Loan Document or any other document or security; or 


 

	 	12.4.7	any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

  

	12.5	Without prejudice to the generality of this Clause 12, each 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 Loan Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Loan Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital;
enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; 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	Each 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 each Guarantor under this Clause 12 provided the Borrower is in breach of the Obligations and any applicable grace period has been exhausted. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Loan Document to the
contrary. 

  

	12.7	Unless: 

  

	 	12.7.1	all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or 

  

	 	12.7.2	the Agent otherwise directs, 


  
 45 








 each Guarantor shall not, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment by it under
this Clause 12: 
  

	 	(a)	present claims for the creditor’s meeting to the bankruptcy trustee or administrator of, or vote as a creditor of the Borrower that is bankrupt in competition with the Finance Parties; or 


 

	 	(b)	receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment from or on account of the Borrower, or exercise any right of set-off against the Borrower. 


 

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


 

	 	12.8.1	to be indemnified by the Borrower; 

  

	 	12.8.2	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents; 

  

	 	12.8.3	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 Loan Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in
connection with, the Loan Documents by any Finance Party; 

  

	 	12.8.4	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring the Borrower to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which such Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause
12.1; 

  

	 	12.8.5	to exercise any right of set-off against the Borrower; and/or 

  

	 	12.8.6	to claim or prove as a creditor of the Borrower in competition with the Finance Parties. 

  

	 	12.8.7	If the Borrower 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 Loan 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.


  

	12.9	This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by the Finance Parties. 


 

	12.10	This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance.

	14	AGENCY AND SECURITY TRUST DEED 

 The terms of the Agency and Security Trust Deed shall be
deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement as though set out in full in this Agreement, with any reference to “this Deed” being deemed to be a reference to “this Agreement”, subject to any necessary changes. 

 

	15	CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION 

  

	15.1	This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law. 


  
 48 









	15.2	The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute (a “Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or
termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement). It is agreed that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party
will argue to the contrary. 

  

	15.3	This Clause 15 (Choice of Law and Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, the Finance Parties shall not be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts
with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 

  

	16	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  

	16.1	Changes to the Parties 

  

	 	16.1.1	This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. 

  

	 	16.1.2	No Borrower may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in the Agent’s sole
discretion). 

  

	 	16.1.3	The Finance Parties have the right, with prior written notice, but without the consent of the Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, their
obligations, rights and benefits under any Loan Document to a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no transfer shall be made to any person which is a Competitor of the Borrower or any other Group Company.


  

	 	16.1.4	In the case of any assignments under any Loan Documents, the Obligors shall only be required to make any additional payments under Clause 11.6.2 (Withholding; Gross-up) to the same extent as would have been the case if
the sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation or participation had not occurred. This Clause 16.1.4 shall not apply to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance
with Clause 11.6.4(b) if the Obligor has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender. 

  

	 	16.1.5	An assignment or transfer of part of the Kreos Commitment or the SVB Commitment or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement by a Lender must be in a minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Pounds

	16.2	Accession of Borrowers 

  

	 	16.2.1	The Agent may request that any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries becomes a Borrower and/or a Guarantor. Upon such request from the Agent, the Subsidiary and the Borrower shall within thirty (30) days of such
request provide the Agent with: 

  

	 	(a)	a duly completed and executed Accession Deed; 

  

	 	(b)	if the relevant Subsidiary is incorporated in a jurisdiction different to the existing Obligors or if otherwise required, an amendment to this Agreement setting out such additional matters as the Agent’s local
counsel may advise are required; and 

  

	 	(c)	such Security and other documents (including, but not limited to, opinions of counsel) and evidence as it may reasonably request (in form and substance similar to the items provided by the Obligors pursuant to Clause 3
(Conditions of Loans). 

  

	 	16.2.2	The Agent shall notify the Obligors promptly upon being satisfied that it has received all of the items listed in Clause 16.2.1. 

  

	16.3	Right of Set-Off 

  

	 	16.3.1	Each Obligor at any time whilst an Event of Default is continuing, authorises each Finance Party to apply (without prior notice) any credit balance (whether or not then due) to which such Obligor is at any time
beneficially entitled on any account at, any sum held to its order by and/or any liability or obligation (whether or not matured) of, any office of SVB in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due and payable by it to any Finance Party under the
Loan Documents and unpaid and, for that purpose, to convert one currency into another, provided that nothing in this Clause 16.3 shall create a charge. 

  

	 	16.3.2	The Finance Parties shall not be obliged to exercise any of their rights under this Clause 16, which shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right
(including the benefit of the Loan Documents) to which it is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise). 

  

	16.4	Sanctions 

 Each Obligor undertakes to the Agent that it is not: 

 

	 	16.4.1	a Restricted Party and is not engaging in any transaction or conduct that could be reasonably expected to result in it becoming a Restricted Party; 


 

	 	16.4.2	subject to any claim, proceeding, formal notice or investigation with respect to Sanctions; 


  
 50 









	 	16.4.3	is engaging in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or breaches or attempts to breach, directly or indirectly, any Sanctions applicable to it; or 


 

	 	16.4.4	is engaging, directly or indirectly, in any trade, business or other activities with or for the benefit of a Restricted Party. 

  

	16.5	Severability of Provision
