	9	Interest

	 	(a)	Margin; and 

  

	 	(b)	in the case of a Loan:

	9.3	Margin adjustments 

  

	 	(a)	In this clause: 

 Total Net Debt and EBITDA have the meanings given to them in
clause 21.1 (Financial definitions). 
  

	 	(b)	The initial Margin is 1.20% per annum. 

  

	 	(c)	The Margin will be calculated by reference to the table below and the information set out in the relevant Compliance Certificate: 

  

					
	 Column 1 Ratio of Total Net Debt to EBITDA
	  	Column 2 Margin (% per
annum)	 
	 Greater than 2.50:1
	  	 	2.45	  
	 Less than or equal to 2.50:1 and greater than 2.00:1
	  	 	1.95	  
	 Less than or equal to 2.00:1 and greater than 1.5:1
	  	 	1.70	  
	 Less than or equal to 1.5:1 and greater than 1:1
	  	 	1.45	  
	 Less than or equal to 1:1
	  	 	1.20	  

  

	 	(d)	Any change in the Margin will, subject to paragraphs (e) and (f) below, apply to each Loan on the date that is five Business Days after the date of receipt by the Agent of the relevant Compliance Certificate
or, if the relevant Compliance Certificate is not delivered on time, on the last date on which that Compliance Certificate should have been delivered in accordance with this Agreement. 


 

	 	(e)	For so long as, an Event of Default is outstanding or a Compliance Certificate relating to financial statements for a Relevant Period has not been delivered by the Parent within the applicable period and remains
outstanding, the Margin will be the highest applicable rate, being 2.45% per annum. 

  

	 	(f)	If the Margin has been calculated on the basis of a Compliance Certificate but would have been higher if it had been based on the subsequent financial statements of the Group the Margin will instead be calculated by
reference to the subsequent financial statements of the Group. If, in this event, any amount of interest has been paid by a Borrower on the basis of the Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must immediately on demand pay to the Agent any shortfall
in the amount which would have been paid to the Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements. 

  

	9.4	Default interest 

  

	 	(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after
judgment), subject to paragraph (b) below, at a rate 1% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive
Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this clause 9.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).

	 	(b)	If any overdue amount consists of all or a part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan: 


 

	 	(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be the sum of 1% and the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due. 


 

	 	(c)	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

	 	(a)	The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the relevant Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement. 


 

	 	(b)	The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower of each Funding Rate relating to a Loan. 

  

	9.6	Minimum interest 

  

	 	(a)	The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation this clause 9, are minimum interest rates. 

  

	 	(b)	When entering into this Agreement, the Parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this clause 9 or in other clauses of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding
Tax. Notwithstanding that the Parties do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, in the event that Swiss Withholding Tax should be imposed on interest payments by a Swiss Obligor and if
a gross-up payment under clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up) is unenforceable for any reason (where such payment would otherwise be required by the terms of clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up)), then the payment of interest due by such Swiss Obligor shall be
increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-refundable Portion (as defined below) of Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been
due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For this purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. 


 

	 	(c)	For the purposes of this clause 9.6, Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax shall mean Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35%) unless a tax ruling issued by the
Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the non-refundable portion is a specified lower rate in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such
Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	If requested by a Lender, the relevant Swiss Obligor shall provide to the Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss
Withholding Tax so deducted.

	 	(b)	Reference Bank Rate / Cost of funds: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR for: 

  

	 	(i)	the currency of a Loan; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Interest Period of a Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate, 


the applicable LIBOR or EURIBOR shall be the Reference Bank Rate as of the Specified Time for the currency of that Loan and for a period equal
in length to the Interest Period of that Loan. 
  

	 	(c)	Cost of funds: If clause 11.1(b) applies but no Reference Bank Rate is available for the relevant currency or Interest Period there shall be no LIBOR or EURIBOR for that Loan and clause 11.4 shall apply to that
Loan for that Interest Period. 

  

	11.2	Calculation of Reference Bank Rate 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to clause 11.2(b), if LIBOR or EURIBOR is to be determined on the basis of a Reference Bank Rate but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the Reference Bank Rate shall be
calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 

  

	 	(b)	If at or about noon 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 Interest Period.

	11.3	Market disruption

select. 

  

	 	(b)	If this clause 11.4 applies and the Agent or the Parent so requires, the Agent and the Parent shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for

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):

determines relates 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 reasonably determines that it 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 reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 


 

	 	(d)	Any reference in this clause 13.7 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 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.

clause 13.8(c) applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation,
forms, documentation or other information. 

  

	 	(e)	If a Borrower is a U.S. Tax Obligor or the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

Borrower or Bilateral Borrower (as the case may be) 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

performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(b)	each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents 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 any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

freely disposable equity is available. 

  

	 	(c)	If and to the extent at the time a payment from a Swiss Guarantor as Guarantor is demanded such payment is subject to the limitation pursuant to paragraph (a) above and may only be made as a distribution of
profits, then such payment shall only be made upon completion of the following measures to the extent they are from time to time required under Swiss corporate law: 


 

	 	(i)	an audited balance sheet of that Swiss Guarantor has been prepared; 

  

	 	(ii)	the auditors of that Swiss Guarantor have approved the amount of the proposed payment based on applicable Swiss corporate law and the articles of association; 


 

	 	(iii)	the shareholder(s) of that Swiss Guarantor must have had access to the above-mentioned audited balance sheet as well as to the auditors’ report; and 


 

	 	(iv)	the shareholders of that Swiss Guarantor must properly be convened (or all shareholders must be present) and vote in favour of the payment of the amount under the guarantee given by that Swiss Guarantor.


  

	 	(d)	Each Swiss Guarantor and each immediate Holding Company of each Swiss Guarantor and the Parent undertake to take and/or cause all measures necessary or useful, as the case may be, to implement the foregoing documents
and other acts referred to in paragraph (c) above. 

  

	 	(e)	Subject only to the foregoing, such payments to be made by a Swiss Guarantor under this guarantee shall be timely made in full as provided for in this Agreement.

	22.18	Guarantors and security 

  

	 	(a)	The Parent shall ensure that (taking into account clause 22.18(e)), any member of the Group which is not a Guarantor which is or becomes a Material Group Company (other than Novoktan GmbH, subject to clause 22.18(j)
below, Innospec Deutschland GmbH and subject to clause 22.30 (Condition subsequent), Independence Oilfield) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within three Months after becoming a Material Group Company, become an Additional
Guarantor in accordance with clause 25.4 (Additional Guarantors). 

  

	 	(b)	The Parent shall ensure that (taking into account clause 22.18(e)) at all times the aggregate (without double counting) of (i) EBITDA of the Guarantors (Guarantor EBITDA) and (ii) gross assets of the
Guarantors (determined in each case by reference to the most recent annual unconsolidated financial statements of each of the Guarantors delivered pursuant to clause 20.1 (Financial statements), shall equal or exceed 65% of (as appropriate)
(A) consolidated EBITDA and (B) consolidated gross assets (as applicable) of the Group (as determined by reference to the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Parent delivered pursuant to clause 20.1 (Financial
statements)). 

  

	 	(c)	Within 120 days after the last day of each of its financial years the Parent shall deliver to the Agent a certificate addressed to the Agent signed by the Chief Financial Officer and one member of Management confirming
that the Parent is in compliance with paragraph (b) above in relation to the financial year of the Parent ending immediately prior to the delivery of such certificate. 


 

	 	(d)	For these purposes, the calculation of Guarantor EBITDA and gross assets shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in relation to any Guarantor shall be made on an unconsolidated basis and Guarantor EBITDA shall be
calculated on the same basis as EBITDA in clause 21.1 (Financial definitions) but adjusted so that it is on an unconsolidated basis applicable to the relevant Guarantor only. 


 

	 	(e)	The Parent shall not be required to meet any of the requirements of clauses 22.18(a), 22.18(b), 22.18(c) or 22.18(g) to the extent that it satisfies the Agent (acting reasonably) that it (or a relevant Subsidiary which
would otherwise meet such requirements) cannot meet such requirements: 

  

	 	(i)	by reason of legal or regulatory impediment which are beyond its or any member of the Group’s control (acting reasonably) (including, but not limited to, prohibitions relating to financial assistance or lack of
corporate benefit); 

  

	 	(ii)	without becoming liable to pay taxes, duties or other amounts which, in the opinion of the Agent (on Majority Lenders’ instructions, acting reasonably), are disproportionate to the value or practical benefit of the
Security or guarantee; 


  
 93 









 CONFORMED COPY 
  


	 	(iii)	because directors of the relevant Subsidiary would be subject to (A) a material risk of civil liability or (B) a reasonably possible risk of any criminal liability based on the advice of its legal counsel if
such Subsidiary was to provide a guarantee and/or Security for the Facilities; or 

  

	 	(iv)	in the case of any Non Wholly Owned Subsidiary, by reason of any applicable restriction contained in any relevant constitutional document, shareholders’ agreement, joint venture agreement or similar agreement.

the Finance Parties (or, if applicable, directly in favour of the Finance Parties) over all its assets, business and undertaking as Security for all indebtedness under the Finance Documents, such Security to provide (to the extent permissible and
practicable under applicable law) equivalent security over such assets, business and undertaking (together Relevant Assets) as granted to the Security Agent (or, as applicable, the Finance Parties) by Group Companies with similar Relevant Assets
incorporated in the same jurisdiction as such Additional Obligor and, if such Additional Obligor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in which no other Group Company incorporated in that jurisdiction with similar Relevant Assets has granted Security.
The Security Documents shall be in such form and substance as (following consultation with the Obligors’ Agent) may be reasonably required by the Agent (having due regard to the practicality and costs involved in taking any such Security).


  

	 	(h)	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (g) above, if a proposed Additional Obligor is required to become an Additional Guarantor as a result of the provisions of paragraph (a) above and without such
Additional Obligor providing Transaction Security other Guarantors which together satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b) above have all provided Transaction Security in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which Transaction
Security continues to remain in place) then such proposed Additional Obligor shall not be required to give any Transaction Security. 

  

	 	(i)	No member of the Group that is not a U.S. Obligor shall, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Finance Document, be required to give a guarantee or create any Transaction Security in respect of the
obligations of any U.S. Borrower or U.S. Bilateral Borrower that would result in any “deemed dividend” to any U.S. Obligor or U.S. Bilateral Borrower pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated and the judicial
and administrative decisions rendered under it. 

  

	 	(j)	If at any time: 

  

	 	(i)	the gross assets of Innospec Deutschland GmbH account for more than 7.5% of the consolidated gross assets of the Group; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the EBITDA of Innospec Deutschland GmbH (Innospec Deutschland EBITDA) accounts for more than 7.5% of the EBITDA of the Group, 


(and for this purpose the calculation of Innospec Deutschland EBITDA and gross assets, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraphs
(b)(i) to (D) of the definition of Material Group Company, save for references to Subsidiary EBITDA shall be

construed as references to Innospec Deutschland EBITDA and references to Subsidiary shall be construed as references to Innospec Deutschland GmbH and its Subsidiaries) then the Parent shall
ensure, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within three Months after Innospec Deutschland GmbH first satisfying either of the tests specified in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above, Innospec Deutschland GmbH accedes to this
Agreement as an Additional Guarantor in accordance with clause 25.4 (Additional Guarantors). 
  

	22.19	Pari passu ranking 

 Each Obligor will ensure that its payment obligations under each of

	22.20	Accounting Reference Date 

  

	 	(a)	The Parent shall not change its accounting reference date from 31 December and shall not change the duration of any of its financial years unless the Majority Lenders have given their prior written consent to any
such change.

any rule, regulation or order of the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

	 	(a)	use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available any part of the proceeds of any Utilisation or other transaction contemplated by the Finance Documents directly or indirectly:

	24	Changes to the Finance Parties 

  

	24.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

 Subject to this clause 24, a Lender
(Existing Lender) may: 
  

	 	(a)	assign any of its rights; or 

  

	 	(b)	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, 

 under any Finance Document to
another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (New Lender) (but not to
a member of the Group or an Affiliate of a member of the Group). 
  

	24.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	 	(a)	An Existing Lender must consult with the Parent for no less than five Business Days before it may make an assignment or transfer, unless the assignment or transfer is: 


 

	 	(i)	to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, which is a Qualifying Bank or a Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank; or 

  

	 	(ii)	made at a time when the occurrence of an Event of Default is continuing. 

  

	 	(b)	An assignment will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(i)	receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations
to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	performance by the Agent of all “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to
a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in clause 24.6 is complied with. 

  

	 	(d)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause
13 (Tax gross up and indemnities) or clause 14 (Increased costs), 

 then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new
Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 

 

	 	(e)	 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has
authority to 



  
 101 









 CONFORMED COPY 
  


	 	
execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the
transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender. 


 

	24.3	Additional Limitation 

 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this clause 24, if a
Swiss Obligor is a party to this Agreement:

	 	(b)	the consent of any Swiss Obligor is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to a Qualifying Bank or is made at a time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default is continuing. The Swiss Obligor may not withhold or delay its consent to any such assignment or transfer if the Non-Qualifying Bank Rules are met at the time at which such consent is sought. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its
consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Swiss Obligor within that time. 

  

	24.4	Assignment or transfer fee 

 The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment
or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £2,500. 
  

	24.5	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders 

  

	 	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for: 


 

	 	(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor; 

  

	 	(iii)	the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or 

  

	 	(iv)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document, 


and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

	 	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 

  

	 	(i)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial 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 Existing Lender 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 amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.


  

	 	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause 24; or 


 

	 	(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise. 


 

	24.6	Procedure for transfer using a Transfer Certificate or an assignment using an Assignment Agreement 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in clause 24.2 a transfer is effected in accordance with clause 24.6(c) when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender
and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to clause 24.6(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 

  

	 	(b)	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	Subject to clause 24.11 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from
further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations); 


 

	 	(ii)	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the
New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; 


  
 103 









 CONFORMED COPY

commitment, obligation or liability (whether actual or contingent) to make Loans or provide other financial accommodation to any Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents, the trusts set out in this Agreement shall be wound up. At that time unless
already released, the Security Agent shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of the Transaction Security then held by it and the rights of the Security Agent under each of the Security Documents, at which time each of the Security Agent,
the Agent, the Finance Parties and the Obligors shall be released from its obligations in respect of these trusts and the Transaction Security (save for those which arose prior to such winding-up). The perpetuity period under the rule against
perpetuities, if applicable to this Agreement, shall be the period of 125 years from the date of this Agreement.
