|(a) | All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Creditor 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 Creditor Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Creditor Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Creditor Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Creditor Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

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 sub-paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably 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 Creditor Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Creditor Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part of it as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Creditor Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

|    |
