	 	(B)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance 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 sum deemed to be received or
receivable) by that Finance Party; or 
  

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

  

	 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross up); 

  

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (d) of Clause 14.2 (Tax
gross up) applied; or 

  

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

  

	 	(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the
Parent.

the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories the nominee falls in:

notification, shall inform the Parent). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 14.5.

	 	(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) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance 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 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 Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall at the same time 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 14.7 (VAT) 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). 


  
 72 









	 	(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 shall promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that

	 	(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable passthru percentage or other information required under the 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 14.8(a)(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. 

  

	 	(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 policy of that Finance Party; 

  

	 	(iii)	any fiduciary duty; or 

  

	 	(iv)	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 percentage then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable passthru percentage is
100%, 


  
 73 








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

	14.9	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 Parent, the Agent and the other Finance Parties.

	 	(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 an 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. The amount payable by a Guarantor or CCML under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 


 

	19.2	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.

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 each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

 The obligations of each Guarantor and CCML under this Clause 19
will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (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 Restricted 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

change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security; 


 

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

 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.4 (Waiver of
defences), each Guarantor and CCML 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 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. 
  

	19.6	Immediate recourse 

 Each Guarantor and CCML 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 that Guarantor and CCML under this Clause 19. This waiver
applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 
  

	19.7	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 or CCML shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and 

  

	 	(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or CCML or on account of any Guarantor’s or CCML’s liability under this Clause 19. 


  
 80 









	19.8	Deferral of Guarantors’ 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, no Guarantor or CCML will 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 19: 
  

	 	(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 any Guarantor or CCML has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under
Clause 19.1 (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 a
Guarantor or CCML 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 32
(Payment mechanics). 
  

	19.9	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution 

 If any Guarantor or CCML (a
“Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor or any Holding Company of that Retiring Guarantor, then on
the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor: 
  

	 	(a)	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor and CCML (as applicable) from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor or
CCML (as applicable) arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor or CCML of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and 


  
 81 









	 	(b)	each other Guarantor or CCML (as applicable) 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. 

  

	19.10	Additional security 

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

	19.11	Guarantee Limitations 

 The guarantee created under this Clause 19 does not apply to
any liability to the extent that it would result in the guarantee being illegal and with respect to any Additional Guarantor is subject to the limitations set out in the Accession Deed applicable to such Additional Guarantor.

provided that such Subsidiary meets the requirements for such designation set out in Schedule 11 (Restrictive Covenants). 

  

	 	(b)	If a member of the Restricted Group is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, each Obligor will (i) ensure that the Unrestricted Subsidiary does not (and will, for so long as it is an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
not) legally or beneficially own shares in any Restricted Subsidiary; and (ii) use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that no member of the Restricted Group has any material liabilities (including pension, environmental and Tax liabilities) to

	 	(c)	the circumstances giving rise to it have not been procured by or approved by any member of the Group (other than the Target Group), provided that knowledge of the breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant
or Event of Default does not equal procurement or approval by any member of the Group (other than the Target Group); and 

  

	 	(d)	it is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 If the relevant circumstances
are continuing after the Clean-Up Period, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant or Event of Default, as the case may be notwithstanding the above (and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Finance
Parties). 
  

	24.21	Excluded Matters 

 None of the steps or events set out in the Tax Structure Report or the
actions or intermediate steps necessary to implement any of those steps, actions or events shall constitute a breach of any representation or warranty or undertaking contained in the Finance Documents or result in the occurrence of an Event of
Default and shall be expressly permitted under the terms of the Finance Documents. 

  
 124 









	25.	INVESTMENT GRADE STATUS 

  

	25.1	For so long as the Notes (or any Permitted Financial Indebtedness issued by a member of the Restricted Group to refinance or replace the Notes or in exchange for the Notes) have an Investment Grade Status (the
“Suspense Period”), the following clauses of this Agreement shall not apply: 

  

	 	(a)	Clauses 21.5 (Presentations) and 21.6 (Year-end); 

  

	 	(b)	Clauses 22.14 (Insurance), 22.16 (Pensions), 22.18 (Share capital) and 22.19 (Treasury Transaction). 


 

	25.2	Any obligations arising under the Clauses specified in Clause 25.1 above and, in the case that a Suspense Period ceases to apply, any events or circumstances properly taken at any time during a Suspense Period (and
not taken in contemplation of the Suspense Period coming to an end) that would but for this Clause 25 have given rise to a misrepresentation, breach, Default or Event of Default and which would as a result of the Suspense Period ceasing to
apply constitute a misrepresentation, breach, Default or Event of Default, shall be deemed not to give rise to a misrepresentation, breach, Default or Event of Default. 


 

	26.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 

  

	26.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

 Subject to this Clause 26 and
Clause 27 (Restriction on Debt Purchase Transactions), a Lender (the “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 any other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”).

  

	26.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraph (b) below, the consent of the Parent is required before an Existing Lender may make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 26.1 (Assignments and transfers by the
Lenders) prior to the Initial Maturity Date which would result in any Original Lender holding less than 50.1% of the aggregate principal amount of its Facility A Commitment or Facility B Commitment as of the Closing Date or the Loans made by it
under Facility A or Facility B, as applicable, unless the assignment or transfer is: 

  

	 	(i)	to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; 

  

	 	(ii)	to any bank or financial institution; 


  
 125 









	 	(iii)	if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender; or 

  

	 	(iv)	made at a time when an Event of Default or Demand Failure Event is continuing. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in no circumstances may an Existing Lender make an assignment or transfer to, or enter into any sub-participation with, a person: 


 

	 	(i)	that is incorporated or established, or carries on business, in a jurisdiction that is a Sanctioned Country; or 

  

	 	(ii)	is a Competitor, 

 unless that person is already a Lender (other than as a result of a breach of
this Clause 26.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer)) or that assignment or transfer is made at a time when a Demand Failure Event is continuing, and any assignment or transfer purported to be made other than in compliance with this
condition shall be void ab initio. 
  

	 	(c)	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 and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; 

  

	 	(ii)	the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall
promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	The amount of the Existing Lender’s Commitment assigned or transferred must be a minimum of £1,000,000 and in integral multiples of £1,000,000 unless the assignment or transfer is: 


 

	 	(i)	to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; 

  

	 	(ii)	if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(iii)	made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; or 

  

	 	(iv)	of all of the relevant Existing Lender’s Commitment (and not part thereof). 


  
 126 









	 	(e)	A transfer will only be effective if the New Lender enters into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement and if the procedure set out in Clause 26.6 (Procedure for
transfer) is complied with. 

  

	 	(f)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office or nominates a branch or affiliate that is not an Existing Lender to participate in any Facility
under Clause 4.7 (Lending Affiliates); and 

  

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer, change or nomination, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender, affiliate or Lender acting through its new Facility
Office or branch under Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) or Clause 14 (Tax gross up and indemnities), 


then the New Lender, affiliate or Lender acting through its new Facility Office or branch 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, change or nomination had not occurred. This paragraph (f) shall not apply, (i) in respect
of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the facilities or (ii) in relation to Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up), to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference
number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii)(B) of Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender. 

 

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

  

	 	(h)	The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Parent and Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement and Increase Confirmation delivered to it and a register for
the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Utilisations owing or attributable to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 


  
 127 









	26.3	Agreement between Arrangers 

  

	 	(a)	The Arrangers hereby agree between themselves that, until the earlier of (i) 31 May 2014 and (ii) the delivery of a Permanent Financing Notice (as defined in the Fee Letter at paragraph (a) of such
definition), unless otherwise agreed among all the Arrangers, each Arranger will not and will procure that none of its subsidiaries or affiliates will, enter into (or agree to enter into) any agreement with any bank or financial institution, or with
any 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, under which that bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity
shares any risk or participates in the exposure of any Arranger (or its affiliate or subsidiary which is a Lender under this Agreement) under the Initial Facility A Loans, the Initial Facility B Loans or any Commitments in respect thereof. Each of
the Arrangers confirms that it has not, and that none of its subsidiaries or affiliates have, entered into (or agreed to enter into) any such agreement on or prior to the date of this Agreement. 


 

	 	(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not prohibit any agreement (i) whereby Initial Facility A Loans, Initial Facility B Loans or any Commitments in respect thereof will be sold, participated, assigned or transferred by
the Arrangers (or its affiliate or subsidiary which is a Lender under this Agreement) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Commitments (disregarding any Arranger (or its affiliate or subsidiary which is a Lender under this Agreement) that
declines to participate in such sale, participation, assignment or transfer), (ii) entered into by an Arranger (or its affiliate or subsidiary which is a Lender under this Agreement) solely with its subsidiaries or affiliates; or
(iii) entered into by an Arranger (or its affiliate or subsidiary which is a Lender under this Agreement) or in each case any of its subsidiaries or affiliates who in each case is operating on the public side of an information barrier unless
such person is acting on the instructions of a person who has received Confidential Information. 

  

	 	(c)	Paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) above constitute an agreement solely between the Arrangers and may be waived or amended only with the consent of all the Arrangers and no consent from any Obligor shall be
required. No Obligor shall have any responsibility to monitor compliance with the terms of this Clause 26.3 (Agreement between Arrangers). 

  

	26.4	Assignment or transfer fee 

 Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an
assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) to a Related Fund or (iii) made in connection with primary syndication of the Facilities, 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. 

  
 128 









	26.5	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 Transaction Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents; 


 

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor; 

  

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


 

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


and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 
  

	 	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Finance Parties and the Secured 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 or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; 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 25; 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 Transaction Documents or otherwise. 


 

	26.6	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below 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 paragraph (b) below, 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. 


  
 129 









	 	(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
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 26.10 (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 and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors and
the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of
the Transaction Security 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 or
other member of the Restricted Group and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Agent, the Arrangers, the Security Agent, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they
would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers, the Security Agent and the Existing
Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”. 

  

	26.7	Procedure for assignment 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly
completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing
on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement. 


  
 130 









	 	(b)	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement 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
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 26.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;


  

	 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”) expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which
it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and 

  

	 	(iii)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations. 


 

	 	(d)	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 26.7 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with
Clause 26.6 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the
conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer). 

  

	26.8	Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Parent 


The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation
send to the Parent a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation. 
  

	26.9	Security over Lenders’ rights 

 In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders
under this Clause 26.9, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any
Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation: 
  

	 	(a)	any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and 

  

	 	(b)	 in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders)
of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities, 



  
 131 









	 	 
except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall: 


  

	 	(i)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or


  

	 	(ii)	require any payments to be made by an Obligor or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents. 


 

	26.10	Pro rata interest settlement 

 If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to
distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 26.6 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 26.7
(Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period): 
  

	 	(a)	any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer
Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on
the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and 

  

	 	(b)	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt: 


 

	 	(i)	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 26.10, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.


  

	26.11	Sub-participations 

 Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the ability of a Lender to
sub-participate or sub-contract any or all of its rights and/or obligations hereunder, provided that: 
  

	 	(a)	such Lender remains a Lender under this Agreement with all rights and obligations pertaining thereto and remains liable under this Agreement in relation to those obligations sub-participated; and 


 

	 	(b)	prior to the Conversion Date, such Lender retains the unrestricted right to exercise no less than 50.1% of the voting and similar rights in respect of its Commitments (the “Voting Rights”), free of any
obligation to act on the instructions of any other person. 


  
 132 









	26.12	Voting 

 If a transfer or sub-participation does not comply with the conditions set out
in this Clause 26, the New Lender’s (or, in the case of a sub-participation, the Existing Lender’s) Commitments and/or participation shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total Commitments, Facility A Total
Commitments, Facility B Total Commitments, Incremental Facility Commitments or participations under the Facilities or, as applicable, the relevant Facility when ascertaining whether any relevant percentage (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, unanimity) of Total Commitments, Facility A Total Commitments, Facility B Total Commitments, Incremental Facility Commitments and/or participations has been obtained. 

 

	26.13	Acquisition Closing Date 

 To the extent an Original Lender assigns, transfers or enters
into a sub-participation or sub-contract prior to the Acquisition Closing Date (in accordance with Clause 26.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer)) in respect of any of its Facility A Commitments, such Original Lender shall remain
liable to fund the full amount of its Facility A Commitment (as at the date of this Agreement) on the Acquisition Closing Date notwithstanding any assignment, transfer or sub-participation or sub-contract of such Facility A Commitment prior to such
date and provided further that: 
  

	 	(a)	that Original Lender retains exclusive control over all rights and obligations in relation to its Commitment, including all rights in relation to waivers, consents, modifications and amendments and confirmations as to
satisfaction of conditions precedent regardless of any agreement or understanding with any transferee, assignee or sub-participant pursuant to which it is required to or will consult with any other person in relation to the exercise of any such
rights and/or obligations; and 

  

	 	(b)	if that Original Lender assigns or transfers any portion of its Facility A Commitment prior to the Acquisition Closing Date and the transferee becomes a Defaulting Lender with respect to its obligation to provide its
pro rata share of a Loan to be made on the Acquisition Closing Date under Facility A then the Original Lender which has made the assignment or transfer (or sub-participation or sub-contract) agrees to provide the amount that the Defaulting Lender
was obliged to provide up to the amount that such Original Lender had assigned or transferred to such Defaulting Lender and the Parent agrees to exercise its rights under Clause 38.4 (Replacement of Lender) to enable an assignment or a
transfer of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender back to the Original Lender which had assigned or transferred the commitment to the Defaulting Lender as soon as possible after the Acquisition Closing Date. 


 

	27.	RESTRICTION ON DEBT PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS 

  

	27.1	Prohibition on Debt Purchase Transactions by the Group 

 The Parent shall not, and shall
procure that no other member of the Group shall, enter into any Debt Purchase Transaction or beneficially own all or any part of the share capital of a company that is a Lender or a party to a Debt Purchase Transaction of the type referred to in
paragraphs (b) or (c) of the definition of Debt Purchase Transaction. 

  
 133 









	27.2	Disenfranchisement on Debt Purchase Transactions entered into by Sponsor Affiliates 

  

	 	(a)	For so long as a Sponsor Affiliate (i) beneficially owns a Commitment or (ii) has entered into a sub-participation agreement relating to a Commitment or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially
similar economic effect and such agreement or arrangement has not been terminated: 

  

	 	(i)	in ascertaining the Majority Lenders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments, Facility A Total Commitments, Facility B Total Commitments
and/or Incremental Facility Total Commitments has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents such Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; and 


 

	 	(ii)	for the purposes of Clause 38.3 (Exceptions), such Sponsor Affiliate or the person with whom it has entered into such sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Lender
(unless in the case of a person not being a Sponsor Affiliate it is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Commitment). 

  

	 	(b)	Each Lender shall, unless such Debt Purchase Transaction is an assignment or transfer, promptly notify the Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction with a Sponsor Affiliate (a
“Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction”), such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part I of Schedule 10 (Forms of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice). 


 

	 	(c)	A Lender shall promptly notify the Agent if a Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction to which it is a party: 

  

	 	(i)	is terminated; or 

  

	 	(ii)	ceases to be with a Sponsor Affiliate, 

 such notification to be substantially in the form set
out in Part II of Schedule 10 (Forms of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice). 
  

	 	(d)	Each Sponsor Affiliate that is a Lender agrees that: 

  

	 	(i)	in relation to any meeting or conference call to which all the Lenders are invited to attend or participate, it shall not attend or participate in the same if so requested by the Agent or, unless the Agent otherwise
agrees, be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in its capacity as Lender, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not be entitled to receive any report or other document prepared at the behest of, or on the instructions of, the Agent or one or more of the
Lenders. 


  
 134 









	28.	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS 

  

	28.1	Assignment and transfers by Obligors 

 No Obligor or any other member of the Restricted
Group may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents. 
  

	28.2	Additional Borrowers 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Clause 21.10 (“Know your customer” checks), the Parent may request that any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries becomes
a Borrower under a Facility. That Subsidiary shall become a Borrower under that Facility if: 

  

	 	(i)	it is incorporated in the same jurisdiction as an existing Borrower or if all the Lenders approve the addition of that Subsidiary; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Parent and that Subsidiary deliver to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Deed; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Subsidiary is (or becomes) a Guarantor prior to becoming a Borrower; 

  

	 	(iv)	the Parent confirms that no Default is continuing or would occur as a result of that Subsidiary becoming an Additional Borrower; and 


 

	 	(v)	the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part II of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent and Conditions Subsequent) in relation to that Additional Borrower, each in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	The Agent shall notify the Parent and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in Part II of Schedule 2
(Conditions Precedent and Conditions Subsequent). 

  

	28.3	Resignation of a Borrower 

  

	 	(a)	In this Clause 28.3, Clause 28.5 (Resignation of a Guarantor) and Clause 28.7 (Resignation and release of security on disposal), “Third Party Disposal” means the disposal of
an Obligor or a Holding Company of an Obligor to a person which is not a member of the Group where that disposal is permitted by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement (and the Parent has confirmed this is the case). 


 

	 	(b)	If a Borrower, other than the Original Borrower, is the subject of a Third Party Disposal, the Parent may request that such Borrower (other than the Parent) ceases to be a Borrower by delivering to the Agent a
Resignation Letter. 


  
 135 









	 	(c)	The Agent shall accept a Resignation Letter and notify the Parent and the other Finance Parties of its acceptance if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Parent has confirmed that no Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Letter; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Borrower is under no actual or contingent obligations as a Borrower under any Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(iii)	where the Borrower is also a Guarantor (unless its resignation has been or is contemporaneously accepted in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Resignation of a Guarantor)), its obligations in its capacity as
Guarantor continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect (subject to the Legal Reservations) and the amount guaranteed by it as a Guarantor is not decreased (and the Parent has confirmed this is the case).


  

	 	(d)	Upon notification by the Agent to the Parent of its acceptance of the resignation of a Borrower, that company shall cease to be a Borrower and shall have no further rights or obligations under the Finance Documents as a
Borrower except that the resignation shall not take effect (and the Borrower will continue to have rights and obligations under the Finance Documents) until concurrently with the Third Party Disposal taking effect. 


 

	 	(e)	The Agent may, at the reasonable cost and expense of the Parent, require a customary legal opinion from counsel to the Agent confirming the matters set out in paragraph (b)(iii) above and the Agent shall be under
no obligation to accept a Resignation Letter until it has obtained such opinion in form and substance satisfactory to it. 

  

	28.4	Additional Guarantors

after that FATCA Application Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 14.8 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application
Date; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Agent notifies the Parent and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

 146 









	29.14	Replacement of the Agent 

  

	 	(a)	After consultation with the Parent, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority

obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligation under paragraph (b) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Clause 16.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 29 (and any agency fees for
the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

address, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 34.2 (Addresses) and paragraph (a)(iii) of Clause 34.6 (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the

	31.	SHARING AMONG THE LENDERS 

  

	31.1	Payments to Lenders 

 If a Lender (a “Recovering Lender”) receives or
recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then: 

 

	 	(a)	the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent; 

  

	 	(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in
accordance with Clause 32 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 


 

	 	(c)	the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the
Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 32.6 (Partial payments). 

  

	31.2	Redistribution of payments 

 The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been
paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) (the “Sharing Lenders”) in accordance with Clause 32.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to
the Sharing Lenders. 
  

	31.3	Recovering Lender’s rights 

 On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 31.2
(Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Lender from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Lender, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having
been paid by that Obligor. 
  

	31.4	Reversal of redistribution 

 If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by
a Recovering Lender becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Lender, then: 
  

	 	(a)	each Sharing Lender shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Lender an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is
necessary to reimburse that Recovering Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and 


  
 150 









	 	(b)	as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Lender, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor. 


 

	31.5	Exceptions 

  

	 	(a)	This Clause 31 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Lender would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 31, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.


  

	 	(b)	A Recovering Lender is not obliged to share with any other Lender any amount which the Recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if: 


 

	 	(i)	it notified the other Lenders of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the other Lenders had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration
proceedings. 

  

	32.	PAYMENT MECHANICS 

  

	32.1	Payments to the Agent 

  

	 	(a)	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance
Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. 


 

	 	(b)	Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to Euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank
as the Agent specifies. 

  

	32.2	Distributions by the Agent 

 Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance
Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 32.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 32.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment
in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal
financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to Euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London). 

  
 151 









	32.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in
accordance with Clause 33 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or
towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 
  

	32.4	Clawback 

  

	 	(a)	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has
been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless paragraph (c) applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of
any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of
funds. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Agent is willing to make available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then
receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower: 

  

	 	(i)	the Agent shall notify the Parent of that Lender’s identity and the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent)
which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender. 

  

	32.5	Impaired Agent 

  

	 	(a)	If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 32.1 (Payments to the
Agent) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or, if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the
relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acceptable Bank” and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is
continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the “Paying Party”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents
(the “Recipient Party” or “Recipient Parties”). In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents. 


  
 152 









	 	(b)	All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements. 


 

	 	(c)	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 32.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts
standing to the credit of the trust account. 

  

	 	(d)	Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 29.14 (Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to
paragraph € below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the Recipient Party or Recipient Parties
in accordance with Clause 32.2 (Distributions by the Agent). 

  

	 	(e)	A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent: 

  

	 	(i)	that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and 

  

	 	(ii)	that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party, 

 give all
requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party. 
  

	32.6	Partial payments 

  

	 	(a)	If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents,
the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under those Finance Documents in the following order: 

  

	 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent and the Security Agent under those Finance Documents; 


 

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; 


 

	 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; 


  
 153 









	 	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

	32.8	Business Days 

  

	 	(a)	Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).


  

	 	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date. 


 

	32.9	Currency of account

	 	(a)	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then: 


 

	 	(i)	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country
designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Parent); and 


  
 154 









	 	(ii)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or

	 	(b)	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Parent) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally
accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Agent is notified by the Parent that a Disruption Event has occurred:

waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 38 (Amendments and Waivers); 

  

	 	(e)	the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based

	 	(ii)	the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of more than the Majority Lenders; and

 unless it has received notice to the contrary from the Lender concerned (together with any supporting evidence reasonably
requested by the Agent) or the Agent is otherwise aware that the Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. 
  

	38.6	Replacement of a Defaulting Lender 

  

	 	(a)	The Parent may, at any time a Lender has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender: 


 

	 	(i)	replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or


  

	 	(ii)	require such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of the undrawn Commitment of the Lender; 


to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the Parent
which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations or unfunded participations (as the
case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Utilisations and all accrued
interest, Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

	1.2	Section 1.1 shall not prohibit the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness: 

  

	 	(a)	Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility (including letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances issued or created under any Credit Facility), and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof and
Guarantees in respect of such Indebtedness in a maximum aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding (i) the greater of (x) £85.0 million and (y) 10.0% of ERC, plus (ii) in the case of any

	 	(B)	without limiting Section 3 (Limitation on Liens), Indebtedness arising by reason of any Lien granted by or applicable to such Person securing Indebtedness of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary so long

 205 









	 	(ii)	any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, and any sale or other
transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this paragraph (c) by the Parent or such Restricted

of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment or other assets (including Capital Stock) used in the business of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and in each case any Refinancing Indebtedness in
respect thereof, in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this paragraph (f) and then outstanding, will not exceed at any time outstanding
the greater of (i) £10.0 million and (ii) 3.0% of Total Assets; 

  

	 	(g)	Indebtedness in respect of (i) workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, performance, indemnity, surety, judgment, appeal, advance payment, customs, VAT or other tax or other guarantees or
other similar bonds, instruments or obligations and completion guarantees and warranties provided by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or relating to liabilities, obligations, indemnities or guarantees Incurred in the ordinary course of business

 206 









	 	(h)	Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for customary guarantees, indemnification, obligations in respect of earn-outs or other adjustments of purchase price or, in each case, similar obligations, in each case,
Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets or Person or any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring or disposing of such business or
assets or such Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition or disposition); provided that, in the case of a disposition, the maximum liability of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of all such Indebtedness

Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; 

  

	 	(i)	   

  

	 	(i)	Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such

	 	(j)	Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof and the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this
paragraph (j) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (i) £20.0 million and (ii) 6.0% of Total Assets; 

  

	 	(k)	Indebtedness represented by Permitted Purchase Obligations; and 

  

	 	(l)	 Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof and the
principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this paragraph (l) and then outstanding, will not exceed 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Parent from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of
its Subordinated Shareholder Funding or Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock, Designated Preference Shares or an Excluded Contribution) or otherwise contributed to the equity (other than through the issuance of Disqualified Stock, Designated
Preference Shares or an 



  
 207 









	 	
Excluded Contribution) of the Parent, in each case, subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) any such Net Cash Proceeds that are so received or contributed shall
be excluded for purposes of making Restricted Payments under Section 2.1 and paragraphs (a), (f) and (l) of Section 2.2 to the extent the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries incur Indebtedness in reliance thereon and
(ii) any Net Cash Proceeds that are so received or contributed shall be excluded for purposes of Incurring Indebtedness pursuant to this paragraph (l) to the extent the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries makes a Restricted
Payment under Section 2.1 and/or paragraphs (a), (f) or (m) of Section 2.2 in reliance thereon. 

  

	1.3	For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness):


  

	 	(a)	in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness), the Parent, in its sole discretion, will classify,
and may from time to time reclassify, such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the paragraphs of Section 1.2; provided that Indebtedness incurred pursuant to
paragraph (a) of Section 1.2 may not be reclassified, and Indebtedness under the Cabot RCF Agreement incurred or outstanding on the date of this Agreement will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception
provided in paragraph (a) of Section 1.2; 

  

	 	(b)	Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a
particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; 

  

	 	(c)	if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to paragraphs (a),
(f) or (j) of Section 1.2 and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included; 


 

	 	(d)	the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase
price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; 

  

	 	(e)	for the purposes of determining “ERC” under paragraphs (a)(i)(y) of Section 1.2, (i) ERC shall be adjusted to give effect to purchases or disposals of sub-performing or charged-off consumer
accounts, installment loans or other similar accounts or portfolios thereof (including through the use of Right to Collect Accounts) made since the last measurement date and prior to such date of calculation, on the basis of estimates made on a
pro forma basis by management acting in good faith and (ii) ERC shall be measured on or about the date on which the Parent obtains new commitments (in the case of revolving facilities) or incurs new Indebtedness (in the case of term
facilities); 


  
 208 









	 	(f)	Indebtedness permitted by this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness) need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such
provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness) permitting such Indebtedness; and 

  

	 	(g)	the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined on the basis of GAAP. 


 

	1.4	Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortisation of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of
dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in GAAP, including a change from UK GAAP to IFRS, will not be
deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness). The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be calculated as specified under the definition of
“Indebtedness.” 

  

	1.5	If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not
permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness), the Parent shall be in default of this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness)). 


 

	1.6	 For purposes of determining compliance with any pound sterling-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Sterling Equivalent of
the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or, at the option of the
Parent, first committed, in the case of Indebtedness Incurred under a revolving credit facility; provided that (a) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than pound sterling, and
such refinancing would cause the applicable pound sterling-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such pound sterling-denominated restriction shall be
deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; (b) the Sterling Equivalent of the principal amount of any such
Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Agreement shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of this Agreement; and (c) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to a Currency
Agreement with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness, if denominated in pound sterling, will be the amount of the principal payment
required to be made under such Currency Agreement and, otherwise, the Sterling Equivalent of such amount plus the Sterling 



  
 209 









	 	
Equivalent of any premium which is at such time due and payable but is not covered by such Currency Agreement. For purposes of calculating compliance with paragraph (a) of Section 1.2
or for calculating the amount of Indebtedness outstanding under the Cabot RCF Agreement, to the extent a Credit Facility is utilized for the purpose of guaranteeing or cash collateralizing any letter of credit or guarantee, such guarantee or
collateralization and issuance of such letter of credit or guarantee shall be deemed to be a utilization of such Credit Facility permitted under paragraph (a) of Section 1.2 without double counting. 


 

	1.7	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1 (Limitation on Indebtedness), the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 1
(Limitation on Indebtedness) shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a
different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Subsidiary), whether owned on the date of this Agreement or acquired after that date, or any interest therein or any

the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction. 
  

	4.2	The provisions of Section 4.1 shall not prohibit: 

  

	 	(a)	any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to (i) the Cabot RCF Agreement, (ii) the Finance Documents, (iii) any Note Indenture, (iv) prior to its cancellation the Marlin RCF Agreement, or (v) any
other agreement or instrument, in each case, in effect at or entered into on the date of this Agreement;

paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 4.2 or this paragraph (c) (an “Initial Agreement”) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to an agreement referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) of
this Section 4.2 or this paragraph (c); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement or instrument are no less favorable in any material respect to the
Lenders taken as a whole than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such refinancing or amendment, supplement or other modification relates (as determined in good faith by the Parent);


  

	 	(d)	any encumbrance or restriction: 

  

	 	(i)	that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other

	 	(j)	any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to Currency Agreements, Interest Rate Agreements or Commodity Hedging Agreements; 

  

	 	(k)	any encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to an agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 1 (Limitation on
Indebtedness) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than (i) the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Cabot RCF
Agreement, together with the security documents associated therewith as in effect on the date of this Agreement or (ii) in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Parent) and where, in the case of clause (ii), the Parent
determines at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred that such encumbrances or restrictions will not adversely affect, in any material respect, the Borrower’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Utilisations or the ability of
the Borrower to make principal or interest payments on the Proceeds Loan; 

  

	 	(l)	restrictions relating to Permitted Purchase Obligations SPVs effected in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Purchase Obligations that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Parent,

 216 









	5.	Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. 

  

	5.1	The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless: 

  

	 	(a)	the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at
least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent, of the shares and assets subject to
such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap); 

  

	 	(b)	in any such Asset Disposition, or series of related Asset Dispositions (except to the extent the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap), at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition (excluding any
consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than Indebtedness) received by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of
cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments; and 

  

	 	(c)	an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be: 


 

	 	(i)	 to the extent the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary), (A) to prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of the Original Borrower) or
Indebtedness under the Cabot RCF Agreement (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) within 365 days from the later of (x) the date of such Asset Disposition and (y) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided,
however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (A), the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related commitment (if any)
(except in the case of the Cabot RCF Agreement) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; or (B) to prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness at a price of no more than 100% of
the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, repayment or purchase within 365 days from the later of (A) the date of such Asset Disposition and (B) the receipt
of such Net Available Cash; provided that the Parent shall redeem, repay or repurchase Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (B) only if the Parent makes (at such time or subsequently in compliance with this
Section 5) an offer to the Lenders to repay all Loans or portions thereof of each Lender for which such Lender has properly elected repayment 



  
 217 









	 	
thereof in accordance with the provisions set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer for an aggregate principal amount of Loans at least equal to the proportion that (x) the total
aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding bears to (y) the sum of the total aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding plus the total aggregate principal amount outstanding of such Pari Passu Indebtedness; or 


 

	 	(ii)	to the extent the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in or commit to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net
Available Cash received by the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the later of (i) the date of such Asset Disposition and (ii) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that
any such reinvestment in Additional Assets made pursuant to a definitive binding agreement or a commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent that is executed or approved within such time will satisfy this requirement, so long as such
investment is consummated within 180 days of such 365th day; provided further, that if the assets (including Capital Stock) sold constitute Collateral, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Parent shall pledge or shall cause the
applicable Restricted Subsidiary to pledge any acquired Additional Assets (to the extent such assets (including Capital Stock) were of a category of assets included in the Collateral as of the date of this Agreement) in favor of the Loans on a
first-ranking basis (subject to pre-existing Liens and Permitted Collateral Liens); 

  

	5.2	Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such
Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement. 

  

	5.3	Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in paragraph (c) of Section 5.1, or offered to be applied in accordance with
paragraph (c)(i)(B) of Section 5.1 above, will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day after an Asset Disposition, or at such earlier date that the Parent elects, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds £10.0 million (or equivalent thereof), the Borrower shall be required to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Lenders and, to the extent the Borrower elects, to all holders of other outstanding Pari Passu
Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Loans and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in respect of the Loans in an
amount equal to (and, in the case of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, an offer price of no more than) 100% of the principal amount of the Loans and 100% of the principal amount of Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, in accordance with Clause 8.6 (Application of mandatory prepayments) of this Agreement or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable. 


  
 218 









	5.4	To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Parent may use any
remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of the Loans surrendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Lenders and other Pari Passu Indebtedness
surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Excess Proceeds shall be allocated among the Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness electing repayment. For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of any such Indebtedness not denominated in pound sterling, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting any such principal
amount into its Sterling Equivalent determined as of a date selected by the Borrower that is within the Asset Disposition Offer Period (as defined below). Upon completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset
at zero. 

  

	5.5	To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Loans is denominated in a currency other than pound sterling, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Loans shall not exceed the net
amount of funds in pound sterling that is actually received by the Borrower upon converting such portion into pound sterling. 

  

	5.6	The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of not less than 20 Business Days following its commencement (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the
termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Borrower shall repay the principal amount of Loans and, to the extent they elect, Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to
this Section 5 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.


  

	5.7	For the purposes of paragraph (b) of Section 5.1 the following will be deemed to be cash: 

  

	 	(a)	the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness of the Parent or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Parent or any Guarantor) and the release of the Parent or such
Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; 

  

	 	(b)	securities, notes or other obligations received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within
180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; 

  

	 	(c)	Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Parent and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any
Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; 


  
 219 









	 	(d)	consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Parent or the Borrower (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the date of this Agreement from Persons who are not the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;
and 

  

	 	(e)	any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration
received pursuant to this Section 5 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of £10.0 million and 3.0% of Total Assets (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at
the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 

  

	6.	Limitation on Affiliate Transactions 

  

	6.1	The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or
exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with or for the benefit of any Affiliate of the Parent (such transaction or series of transactions being, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate value in excess of
£1.0 million unless: 

  

	 	(a)	the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction

delivers to the Agent a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the
Parent or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s length basis.

unaffiliated party; 

  

	 	(i)	any transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Parent or an Associate or similar entity that would constitute an Affiliate

shall expressly assume, (x) by Accession Deed, executed and delivered to the Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, all the obligations of the Parent or the Original Borrower, as applicable, under this Agreement and (y) all
obligations of the Parent or the Original Borrower, as applicable, under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Transaction Security Documents; 

  

	 	(b)	immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having
been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  


	 	(c)	immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (i) the Successor Company would be able to Incur at least an additional £1.00 of Indebtedness under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in
Section 4.09(a) of the 2020 Note Indenture, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would not be lower that it was immediately prior to

	 	(d)	the Parent shall have delivered to the Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Accession Deed (if any) comply with this
Agreement, and that all conditions precedent therein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Accession Deed (if any) has been duly authorised, executed and delivered and is
a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Successor Company, and this Agreement constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Successor Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms (in each case, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent); provided that in giving an Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to any matters of fact, including as to satisfaction of paragraphs (b) and

Original Borrower, which properties and assets, if held by the Parent or the Original Borrower, as applicable, instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Parent or the Original Borrower,
as applicable, on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Parent or the Original Borrower, as applicable.

purpose of changing the legal domicile of the Parent, reincorporating the Parent in another jurisdiction, or changing the legal form of the Parent.

obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Transaction Security Documents and, if applicable, the Proceeds Loan Agreement; and




  
 224 









	 	
(B) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Subsidiary
Guarantor (in each case other than to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Agreement. 

  

	8.	[Reserved.] 

  

	9.	Impairment of Security Interest 

  

	9.1	The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the
Collateral (it being understood that the Incurrence of Permitted Collateral Liens shall under no circumstances be deemed to materially impair the security interest with respect to the Collateral) for the benefit of the Finance Parties, and the
Parent, shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, grant to any Person other than the Security Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the other beneficiaries described in the Transaction Security Documents, any interest whatsoever in
any of the Collateral that is prohibited by Section 3 “Limitation on Liens;” provided, that the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Collateral Liens and the Collateral may be discharged, transferred or released
in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the applicable Transaction Security Documents. 

  

	9.2	 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 9 shall restrict the discharge and release of any security interest in accordance with this
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Security Documents may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or released (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at
least equivalent ranking over the same assets) to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein; (ii) provide for Permitted Collateral Liens; (iii) add to the Collateral; or (iv) make any other change thereto
that does not adversely affect the Finance Parties in any material respect; provided, however, that, except where permitted by this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, no Transaction Security Document may be amended, extended, renewed,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or released (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets), unless contemporaneously with such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement or
modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets), the Parent delivers to the Security Agent and the Agent, either (1) a solvency opinion, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Security Agent and the Agent, from an independent financial advisor or appraiser or investment bank of international standing which confirms the solvency of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect
to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets), (2) a certificate from the
chief financial officer or the Board of Directors of the relevant Person which confirms the solvency of the person granting the security 



  
 225 









	 	
interest after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a lien of at
least equivalent ranking over the same assets), or (3) an opinion of counsel (subject to any qualifications customary for this type of opinion of counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent and the Agent,
confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same
assets), the Lien or Liens created under the Transaction Security Document, so amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, modified or released and retaken are valid and perfected Liens not otherwise subject to any limitation, imperfection
or new hardening period, in equity or at law, that such Lien or Liens were not otherwise subject to immediately prior to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or release and retake and to which the new
Indebtedness secured by the Permitted Collateral Lien is not subject. In the event that the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries comply with the requirements of this Section 9.2, the Agent and the Security Agent shall (subject to customary
protections and indemnifications) consent to such amendments without the need for instructions from the Finance Parties.

Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the
“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, assumption, Guarantee, redemption, defeasance, retirement or extinguishment of

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, any Investment, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed or discontinued
operations that have been made by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation
Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed or discontinued operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the

Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed or discontinued any operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to

occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a
transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or chief accounting officer of the Parent (including synergies and cost savings). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is
being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any


  
 239 








 
Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalised Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or
accounting officer of the Parent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalised Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit
facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may
optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such
optional rate chosen as the Parent may designate.

elect to establish that GAAP shall mean UK GAAP as in effect on or prior to the date of such election; provided that any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable. At any time after the date of this Agreement, the Parent may elect
to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of UK GAAP and, upon any such election, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS (except as otherwise provided in this Schedule 11), including as to the ability of the
Parent to make an election pursuant to the previous sentence; provided that any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable; provided, further, that any calculation or determination in this Schedule 11 that requires the application
of UK GAAP for periods that include Financial Quarters ended prior to the Parent’s election to apply IFRS shall remain as previously calculated or determined in accordance with UK GAAP; provided, further, however, that the Parent may
only make such election if it also elects to prepare any subsequent financial statements required to be delivered under this Agreement by the Parent, in IFRS. The Parent shall give notice of any such election made in accordance with this definition

	(2)	entered into primarily for purposes of assuring in any other manner the obligee of such Indebtedness of the payment thereof or to protect such obligee against loss in respect thereof (in whole or in part), provided,

 SCHEDULE 13 

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES 
  

	1.	SECURITY PRINCIPLES 

  

	 	(a)	The guarantees and security to be provided in connection with the proposed Transactions will be given in accordance with the security principles set out herein (the “Agreed Security Principles”).


  

	 	(b)	The Agreed Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining security and guarantees from all proposed grantors of security and guarantees (the
“Grantors”) in every jurisdiction in which the Grantors are incorporated. In particular: 

  

	 	(i)	general statutory limitations, capital maintenance, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, retention of title claims and similar principles may limit the
ability of a Grantor to provide guarantees or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited by an amount or otherwise. The Parent will use reasonable endeavours to assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues
to each Grantor. Limitation language will be included in respect of all guarantees and security documents limiting the liability under the guarantees and the enforceability of the security as required or customary under applicable law;


  

	 	(ii)	the security and extent of its perfection will be agreed taking into account the cost to the Restricted Group of providing security so as to ensure that it is proportionate to the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); 

  

	 	(iii)	any assets subject to third party arrangements which are not prohibited by the Debt Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and which prevent those assets from being granted as security will be excluded in
any relevant Transaction Security Document provided that reasonable endeavours to obtain consent to grant security interests over any such assets shall be used by the relevant Grantor if the relevant asset is material, and provided further
that when making a Permitted Acquisition referred to in paragraph (v) of that definition no member of the Restricted Group shall enter into any agreement or undertaking at the time of such acquisition with a minority shareholder that
prevents such entities from providing guarantees or those assets from being granted as security as contemplated in that paragraph (v); 

  

	 	(iv)	Grantors will not be required to give guarantees or enter into Transaction Security Documents to the extent that it would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or officers or contravene any legal or
regulatory prohibition or result in a risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any director or officer;

	 	(v)	perfection of Security, when required pursuant to these Agreed Security Principles, and other legal formalities will be completed as soon as practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the
Transaction Security Documents or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Transaction Security Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection. The perfection of
Security granted will not be required if it would have an unreasonable adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Grantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the Debt
Documents. The registration of security interests in intellectual property will (at all times subject to paragraph (iii) above and (c) below) only be in respect of material intellectual property in jurisdictions to be agreed;


  

	 	(vi)	the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties as well as the tax cost to the Restricted Group where the benefit of
increasing the granted or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fee, taxes and duties or tax cost to the Restricted Group; 

  

	 	(vii)	no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where Grantors are not incorporated; 

  

	 	(viii)	where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting Security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such Security, Security will be granted
over the material assets only; 

  

	 	(ix)	unless granted under a global security document governed by the law of the jurisdiction of an Obligor or under English law or as otherwise required by applicable law, all Security (other than share security over
subsidiaries of the relevant Grantor and other assets of the relevant Grantor incorporated or located in jurisdictions other than the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Grantor) shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of
that Grantor; 

  

	 	(x)	the Security Agent will hold one set of security for the Finance Parties; and 

  

	 	(xi)	the Parent shall be responsible for costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Finance Parties and the Restricted Group (including reasonable legal expenses, disbursements, registration costs and all taxes, duties
and fees (notarial or otherwise)) in respect of guarantees and security. 

  

	 	(c)	The Security Agent or the Finance Parties, as the case may be, shall promptly discharge any guarantees and release any Security which is or are subject to any legal or regulatory prohibition as is referred to in
paragraph (b)(iv) above. 


  
 267 









	2.	GRANTORS AND SECURITY 

  

	 	(a)	Each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee and each guarantee and security will be for all liabilities of each Debtor (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement and including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Senior Note Issuer (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and each Obligor) and any Grantors under the Debt Documents in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles in each relevant
jurisdiction. 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent possible, all security shall be given in favour of the Security Agent and not the Secured Parties individually. “Parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary; such provisions will be
contained in the Intercreditor Agreement or the relevant transaction document and not the individual security documents unless required under local laws. To the extent possible, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the
guarantees or security when a Lender transfers any of its participation in the Facilities to a new Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	If any guarantee and/or security is not permitted under the Senior Note Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), such guarantee and/or security shall not be required in relation to the Facilities.


  

	 	(d)	The form of guarantee is set out in Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of this Agreement and, with respect to any Additional Guarantor incorporated in a jurisdiction in respect of which no limitation
language has been agreed before, is subject to any limitations set out in the Accession Deed applicable to such Additional Guarantor. 

  

	3.	TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS 

 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of
any security taken as part of this transaction: 
  

	 	(a)	the security will be first ranking, to the extent possible; 

  

	 	(b)	security will not be enforceable unless an event of default (howsoever described) has occurred and notice of acceleration has been given by the Creditor Representative under paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of
Clause 24.18 (Acceleration) of this Agreement, or any equivalent provision of any other Primary Finance Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (a “Relevant Acceleration Event”); 


 

	 	(c)	the Security Agent will be entitled, where the relevant Grantor fails to fulfil its obligations under a Transaction Security Document (after the expiry of any applicable grace period), to perfect the Security, where
such perfection is contemplated under these principles and the Transaction Security Document; 

  

	 	(d)	 the Transaction Security Documents shall only operate to create Security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, they shall not
contain additional representations or undertakings (such as in respect of 



  
 268 









	 	
title, validity, insurance, maintenance of assets, information or the payment of costs) unless the same are required for the creation or perfection of the Security or the assets subject to the
Security and shall not operate so as to prevent transactions which are otherwise permitted under the Debt Documents or to require additional consents, authorisations or notifications; 


 

	 	(e)	prior to an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing (or in the case of Clauses 4 (Bank Accounts), 6 (Insurance Policies), 7 (Intellectual Property) and 9 (Trade Receivables)
only, prior to a Relevant Acceleration Event), the provisions of each Security Document will not be unduly burdensome on the Grantor or interfere unreasonably with the operation of its business; 


 

	 	(f)	the Security Agent shall only be able to exercise a power of attorney following an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing (or in the case of Clauses 4 (Bank Accounts), 6 (Insurance
Policies), 7 (Intellectual Property) and 9 (Trade Receivables) only, after a Relevant Acceleration Event) or if the relevant Grantor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation (after the expiry of any
applicable grace period); 

  

	 	(g)	Transaction Security Documents, will where possible and practical, automatically create Security over future assets of the same type as those already secured; 


 

	 	(h)	Information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, in the opinion of counsel to the Lenders, these are required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the security or to ensure the security can be
enforced and, unless required to be provided by local law more frequently, in that case be provided annually or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, on the Security Agent’s reasonable request provided that no such regular
information is required to be provided in respect of assets located in the United Kingdom. 

  

	4.	BANK ACCOUNTS 

  

	 	(a)	If a Grantor grants Security over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with those accounts in the ordinary course of its business until a Relevant Acceleration Event (or until a later event has occurred as agreed
upon in the relevant Transaction Security Document). 

  

	 	(b)	In relation to any bank accounts opened prior to the date of this Agreement, notice of the Security will be served on the account bank after a Relevant Acceleration Event, if so requested by the Security Agent. There
will be no restriction on the closure of any bank accounts which are no longer required by the Restricted Group. 

  

	 	(c)	In relation to any bank accounts opened after the date of this Agreement, notice of the Security will be served on the account bank promptly after such bank account is opened and the Grantor shall use reasonable
endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement by the account bank, if so requested by the Security Agent. 


  
 269 









	 	(d)	Any Security over bank accounts may be subject to any prior security interests in favour of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank.


  

	 	(e)	No Security shall be taken over monies standing to the credit of a bank account where such money is held on trust for third parties. 


 

	5.	FIXED ASSETS 

  

	 	(a)	If a Grantor grants Security over its fixed assets it shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 


 

	 	(b)	No notice whether to third parties or by attaching a notice to the fixed assets shall be prepared or given until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 


 

	 	(c)	If required under local law Security over fixed assets will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles. 


 

	6.	INSURANCE POLICIES 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to these Agreed Security Principles, each Grantor shall grant Security over its insurance policies (other than third party liability and public liability insurance) in relation to assets that are also subject to
Security. No Security will be granted over any insurance policies which cannot be secured under local law or under the terms of the relevant policy. Insurance claims will be collected by the Grantor in the ordinary course of business until a
Relevant Acceleration Event. 

  

	 	(b)	Notice of the Security will be served on the insurance provider after a Relevant Acceleration Event, if so requested by the Security Agent. 


 

	7.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

  

	 	(a)	If a Grantor grants Security over its Intellectual Property it shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business (including, without limitation, allowing its Intellectual Property to lapse if no
longer material to its business and if permitted by this Agreement) until a Relevant Acceleration Event. 

  

	 	(b)	No Security shall be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be prepared or given to any third party from whom intellectual
property is licensed until a Relevant Acceleration Event. 

  

	 	(c)	If required under local law, security over Intellectual Property will be registered under the law of that security document or at a relevant supra-national registry (such as the EU) subject to the general principles set
out in these Agreed Security Principles. 


  
 270 









	8.	INTERCOMPANY RECEIVABLES 

  

	 	(a)	If a Grantor grants Security over its intercompany receivables from time to time it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business (subject to the Debt Documents) until an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. 

  

	 	(b)	Notice of the Security will be served on the intercompany debtor as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	in the case of an intercompany receivable in excess of £3,000,000 (or its equivalent) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if so requested by the Security Agent; and 


 

	 	(ii)	in the case of an intercompany receivable less than £3,000,000 (or its equivalent) after a Relevant Acceleration Event, if so requested by the Security Agent. 


 

	9.	TRADE RECEIVABLES 

  

	 	(a)	If a Grantor grants Security over its trade receivables it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business until a Relevant Acceleration Event. 


 

	 	(b)	No notice of Security shall be served on a debtor until a Relevant Acceleration Event, including for the avoidance of doubt, upon the underlying debtors in Portfolio Accounts. 


 

	 	(c)	No Security will be granted over any trade receivables which cannot be secured or assigned under the terms of the relevant contract. 


 

	 	(d)	Nothing contained in the relevant Transaction Security Documents shall cause the Grantor to violate any applicable data protection laws. 


 

	10.	SHARES / PARTNERSHIP INTEREST 

  

	 	(a)	The Transaction Security Document will be governed by the laws of the person whose shares or partnership interests are being secured and not by the law of the country of the person granting the Security.


  

	 	(b)	Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares or partnership interests pledged by it in a manner which does not materially
adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security and the company whose shares or partnership interests have been pledged will, subject to the terms of the Debt Documents, as applicable, be permitted to pay dividends (with the proceeds
to be available to the recipient). 

  

	 	(c)	Where customary, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of execution of the share pledge (and in any event within the time periods specified in the Transaction Security Documents), the share certificate
and a stock transfer form executed in blank will be provided to the Security Agent (as applicable). 


  
 271 









	 	(d)	Unless the restriction is required by law, the constitutional documents of the company whose shares or partnership interests have been pledged will be amended to remove any restriction on the transfer or the
registration of the transfer of the shares on enforcement of the Security granted over them. 

  

	11.	REAL ESTATE 

  

	 	(a)	There will be no Security granted over real estate other than (i) real estate which, immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, is charged to secure the Existing Facilities and (ii) after the date of
this Agreement, any other real estate acquired by a Debtor subject to these Agreed Security Principles. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to these Agreed Security Principles, each Grantor shall use its reasonable endeavours to obtain any consent required to grant Security over its real estate but will be under no obligation to obtain such consent
if the granting of the Security would contravene any legal prohibition. 

  

	 	(c)	In respect of any real estate security to be granted, there will be no obligation to investigate title, register mortgages with land registries, provide surveys or other insurance or environmental diligence.


  

	12.	RELEASE OF SECURITY 

 Other than release of the Security upon final payment in full of
all the obligations secured by the Security (and no Secured Party having any actual or contingent liability to advance further monies to, or incur liabilities on behalf of, any Debtor under the Finance Documents), no circumstances in which the
Security shall be released should be dealt with in individual Transaction Security Documents unless required by local law. If so required, such circumstances shall, except to the extent required by local law, be the same as those set out in the
Intercreditor Agreement.

FORM OF EXCHANGE REQUEST 
  

			
		
	To:	  	 [—]

as Agent

		
		  	 [Cabot Financial Holdings Group Limited]
 as
Borrower

		
	From:	  	[The Lender]
		
	Dated:	  	[—]

 [Cabot Financial Holdings Group Limited]–
£[—] Senior Secured Bridge Facilities 
 Agreement dated [—] 2014 (the “Facilities Agreement”) 
 We refer to the Facilities Agreement. This is an
Exchange Request pursuant to Clause (xv) (Manner of Exchange of Term Loans) of the Facilities Agreement. Terms defined in the Facilities Agreement have the same meaning in this notice unless given a different meaning in this notice. 

We confirm as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	our legal name is [            ]; 

  

	 	(b)	the Exchange Date for this Exchange Request is [            ], a Business Day not fewer than five Business Days after the date of this Exchange Request;


  

	 	(c)	the name of the proposed registered Holder of the Exchange Notes to be issued pursuant to this Exchange Request is [            ]; 


 

	 	(d)	the principal amount of our participation in the [Facility A Term Loans] to [Facility B Term Loans] be exchanged for [Facility A Exchange Notes] [Facility B Exchange Notes] pursuant to this Exchange Request is
[            ], which amount complies with the requirements of Clause (xv) (Manner of Exchange of Term Loans) of the Facilities Agreement; and 


 

	 	(e)	the amount of each [Facility A Exchange Notes] [ Facility B Exchange Notes] requested hereunder is [            ], which complies with the requirements of
Clause (xv) (Manner of Exchange of Term Loans) of the Facilities Agreement. 

 We confirm that: 

 

	 	(a)	 we are either (1) an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act), that we are engaged in the business of purchasing and selling securities of entities such as the Borrower or (2) are not a U.S. person (and are not acquiring any Exchange Notes for the account or benefit of a
U.S. person) and are acquiring any Exchange Notes pursuant to an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. We are requesting any Exchange Notes hereunder




  
 280 









	 	
for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor” as defined above) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion. We
are acquiring Exchange Notes solely for investment purposes and not with a view to the resale or distribution of Exchange Notes, except in accordance with U.S. securities laws. 


 

	 	(b)	we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Exchange Notes, and we are experienced in investing in capital markets and
are able to bear the economic risk of investing in the Exchange Notes. 

  

	 	(c)	an investment in the Exchange Notes involves a high degree of risk, and the Exchange Notes are, therefore, a speculative investment. 


 

	 	(d)	none of the Obligors, the Arrangers, the Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates has given any investment advice or rendered any opinion to us as to whether an investment in the Exchange Notes is prudent
or suitable, and we are not relying on any representation or warranty by the Obligors, the Arrangers, the Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates. 

  

	 	(e)	we acknowledge that none of the Obligors, the Arrangers, the Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates has provided, and will not be providing, us with any material regarding the Exchange Notes or the
Borrower. We acknowledge that neither the Arrangers nor the Agent are responsible for the contents of any document. We have not requested the Obligors, the Arrangers, the Agent or any of their respective agents or affiliates to provide us with any
other information. In addition, we acknowledge that the Agent may facilitate the exchange of information between us and the Borrower, but that such information is not being provided by the Agent. We also acknowledge that, prior to the date hereof,
the Borrower has (a) offered us the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Borrower or persons acting on behalf of the Borrower, (b) offered to furnish us with all other materials that we consider relevant to an
investment in the Exchange Notes and (c) offered to give us the opportunity fully to perform our own due diligence. 

  

	 	(f)	we have access to all information that we believe is necessary, sufficient or appropriate in connection with our receipt and investment in the Exchange Notes. We have made an independent decision to invest in the
Exchange Notes from the Borrower based on the information concerning the business and financial condition of the Borrower and other information available to us, which we have determined is adequate for that purpose, and we have not relied on any
information (in any form, whether written or oral) furnished by the Agent or on their behalf in making that decision. 

  

	 	(g)	 in making our decision to invest in the Exchange Notes, (a) we have not relied on any investigation that the Agent, or any person acting on their
behalf, may have conducted with respect to the Borrower or the Exchange Notes and (b) we have made our own investment decision regarding the Exchange Notes (including, without limitation, the income tax consequences of purchasing, owning or
disposing of the Exchange Notes in light of our particular situation

and tax residence(s) as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any taxing jurisdiction) based on our own knowledge (and information we may have or which is publicly available) with
respect to the Borrower and the Exchange Notes. 

  

	 	(h)	we acknowledge that the Agent, the Borrower and their respective agents and affiliates may possess material non-public information not known to us regarding or relating to the Borrower or the Exchange Notes, including,
but not limited to, information concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or restructuring plans of the Borrower. We acknowledge that none of the Agent, the Borrower or any of their respective agents or
