to provide cash cover to an account with the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of that Letter of Credit and in the currency of that Letter of Credit then that Borrower shall do so within
five Business Days after the notice is given. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of Clause 1.2 (Construction), the Issuing Bank may agree to the withdrawal of amounts up to the level of that cash cover from
the account if: 

  

	 	(i)	it is satisfied that the relevant Lender is no longer a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; or 


 

	 	(ii)	the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or


  

	 	(iii)	an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake the obligations in respect of the relevant Lender’s L/C Proportion of the Letter of Credit. 


 

	 	(c)	To the extent that a Borrower has complied with its obligations to provide cash cover in accordance with this Clause 7.5, the relevant Lender’s L/C Proportion
in respect of that Letter of Credit will remain (but that Lender’s obligations in relation to that Letter of Credit may be satisfied in accordance with paragraph (d)(ii) of Clause 1.2 (Construction)). However, the relevant
Borrower’s obligation to pay any Letter of Credit fee in relation to the relevant Letter of Credit to the Agent (for the account of that Lender) in accordance with paragraph (b) of Clause 22.5 (Fees payable in respect of Letters of
Credit) will be reduced proportionately as from the date on which it complies with that obligation to provide cash cover (and for so long as the relevant amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral). 


 

	 	(d)	The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the extent to which a Borrower provides cash cover pursuant to this Clause 7.5 and of any change in
the amount of cash cover so provided.

 the Agent will give notice to the Relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time on

	 	(iii)	for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Facility Loan, 


the Agent will apply the new Revolving Facility Loans in or towards repayment of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan so that:

  

	 	(A)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans: 


 

	 	(1)	the Relevant Borrower will only be required to pay an amount in cash in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

	 	(B)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans: 


 

	 	(1)	the Relevant Borrower will not be required to make any payment in cash; and

new Revolving Facility Loans exceeds that Lender’s participation (if any) in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and the remainder of that Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made
available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan. 

  

	 	(c)	At any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Revolving Facility Loans then outstanding will
be automatically extended to the Termination Date in relation to the Revolving Facility and will be treated as separate Loans (the “Separate Loans”), denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding.


  

	 	(d)	A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a
copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

	 	(a)	that Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event; 


 

	 	(b)	upon the Agent notifying the Company, the Issuing Bank shall not be obliged to issue any Letter of Credit;

outstanding at such time. 

  

	16.3	Voluntary cancellation 

  

	 	(a)	The Relevant Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than three Business Days (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the
whole or any part (being a minimum amount of US$10,000,000) of an Available Facility. Any cancellation under this Clause 16.3 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably under that Facility. 


 

	 	(b)	Without prejudice to Clauses 9.5 and 12.5 (Conditions of assignment and transfer) but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Revolving
Facility Commitment of a Lender which has (or has an Affiliate which has) a Dollar Swingline Commitment or Euro Swingline Commitment (such Lender, a “Swingline Lender”) would otherwise be reduced to an amount which is exceeded by
the aggregate of that Swingline Lender’s Dollar Swingline Commitment and Euro Swingline Commitment, there will be an automatic cancellation of that Swingline Lender’s Dollar Swingline Commitment and/or Euro Swingline Commitment to the
extent required to reduce that excess to zero. For these purposes (i) the Euro Swingline Commitment of a Swingline Lender shall be notionally converted into the Base Currency on the date of the relevant reduction of Revolving Facility
Commitments at the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on that date and (ii) if a reduction of a Swingline Lender’s Dollar Swingline Commitments and Euro Swingline Commitments is required as a result of the operation of this paragraph, such
reduction shall be applied pro rata to the respective amounts of the Dollar Swingline Commitments and Euro Swingline Commitments of the relevant Swingline Lender (notionally converting into the Base Currency any Euro Swingline Commitments in
accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above).

amount of US$25,000,000 and in multiples of US$1,000,000). 


  

	 	(b)	A Term Loan may only be prepaid after the last day of the Availability Period applicable to the Term Facility (or, if earlier, the day on which the applicable Available
Facility is zero). 

  

	16.5	Voluntary prepayment of Revolving Facility Utilisations 


A Borrower to which a Revolving Facility Utilisation has been made may, if it or the Company gives the Agent not less than three Business
Days (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, prepay the whole or any part of a Revolving Facility Utilisation (but if in part, being an amount that reduces the Base Currency Amount of the Revolving Facility
Utilisation by a minimum amount of US$25,000,000).

	19.	INTEREST 

  

	19.1	Calculation of interest 


The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

  

	 	(a)	Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	LIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in euro, EURIBOR; and 

  

	 	(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any. 

  

	19.2	Payment of interest 

 The
Relevant Borrower shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

  

	19.3	Default interest 

  

	 	(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the
date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment,
constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 19.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on
demand by the Agent. 

  

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


  

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


  

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the
overdue amount had not become due. 

  

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

	20.1	Selection of Interest Periods and Terms 

  

	 	(a)	The Relevant Borrower (or the Company on behalf of a Borrower) may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan is a

	 	(b)	Each Selection Notice for a Term Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Relevant Borrower (or the Company on behalf of the Borrower) to which
that Term Loan was made not later than the Specified Time.

Month. 

  

	 	(d)	Subject to this Clause 20, a Borrower (or the Company) may select an Interest Period of one Month, two, three or six Months or any other period agreed between the

	 	(ii)	end on the same date; and 

  

	 	(iii)	are made to the same Borrower, 


those Term Loans will, unless that Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) specifies to the contrary in the Selection Notice for the next

	 	(b)	Subject to Clause 4.4 (Maximum number of Utilisations), and Clause 5.3 (Currency and amount) if the Relevant Borrower (or the Company on its

	21.1	Absence of quotations 


Subject to Clause 21.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the

	21.2	Market disruption 

  

	 	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest
Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Margin; 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that
which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

	21.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding 

  

	 	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than

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

  

	 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up); or 


 

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in
paragraph (d) of Clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up) applied. 

  

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

Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 

 


	 	(b)	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit, 


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

	23.5	Stamp taxes 

 The Company
or ABIWW shall pay and, within ten Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration, excise and other similar Taxes payable in respect of
any Finance Document except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a Transfer Certificate and, with respect to Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement), any Luxembourg tax payable due to a registration
of a Finance Document when such registration is not required to maintain or preserve the rights of any Finance Party. 
  

	23.6	Value added tax 

  

	 	(a)	All amounts set out, or 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
VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (c) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document,
that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party), or where
applicable, directly account for such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by articles 44 and 196 of the European Directive 2006/112/EC (replacing European Directive 77/388/EC) and any relevant tax provisions
of the jurisdiction in which such Party receives such supply (in which case no amount equal to the amount of VAT will be due to the Finance Party). 

  

	 	(b)	If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a
Finance Document, and any Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the
Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay (as the case may be) to the Recipient or to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will
promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

	 	(c)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance
Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to
credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

	24.1	Increased costs

implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates).

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all that Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 


 

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

  

	 	(c)	indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes
unenforceable, invalid or illegal. The amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover. 


 

	28.2	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. 
  

	28.3	Reinstatement 

 If any
payment by an Obligor or any discharge given by a Finance Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:

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;

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


 

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


  

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


 

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


  

	 	(g)	any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

  

	28.5	Guarantor Intent 

 Without
prejudice to the generality of Clause 28.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition
of or to any of the 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: 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. 
  

	28.6	Immediate recourse 

 Each
Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under

	28.7	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 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 on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 28.


  

	28.8	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights 


Without prejudice to the obligations of the Company under the Parent Contribution Agreement, 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 will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its
obligations under the Finance Documents (other than pursuant to the Parent Contribution Agreement): 
  

	 	(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; and/or 


 

	 	(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. 


If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights (other than pursuant to the Parent Contribution
Agreement) 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 38 (Payment Mechanics) of this Agreement.

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

  

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

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering

the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party 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 Finance Party for its
proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and

	 	(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. 

  

	38.2	Distributions by the Agent 


Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 38.3 (Distributions to
an Obligor) and Clause 38.4 (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 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). 
  

	38.3	Distributions to an Obligor 


The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with [****]) 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. 

 

	38.4	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

	 	(b)	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.

accordance with this Clause 38.5 shall 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 in accordance with

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

	41.	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES 

  

	41.1	Accounts

	43.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the Company, and which is acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably) and (in the case of any transfer of a Revolving Facility
Commitment), the Issuing Bank, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations 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 and/or Letter of Credit fees, Break Costs and

doubt unanimity) of the Total Commitments or Total Revolving Facility Commitments has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents, that Defaulting Lender’s Commitments will be
reduced by the amount of its Available Commitments.

	44.5	Replacement of a Defaulting Lender 

  

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

Finance Document; and 

  

	 	(ii)	agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.


  

	 	(b)	If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Company (on behalf of all the Obligors)
must immediately (and in any event within ten days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose. 


 

	 	(c)	Each Obligor expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Clause 48 and Clause 47 (Governing Law).

 SCHEDULE 4 

MANDATORY COST FORMULA 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the
Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 


 

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage
participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the
minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 


 

	 	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

							
		 	AB + C(B – D) + Ex0.01	  	% per annum	  	
		 	100 – (A + C)	  	  	

  

	 	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling: 

  

							
		 	Ex0.01	  	% per annum

England. 

  

	 	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 


 

	 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge
supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of
England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in
force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

	6.	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 

  

	7.	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of
charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the
average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 

 

	9.	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the

Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 


 

	10.	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be
entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 


 

	11.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender
based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 

  

	12.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 

  

	13.	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made
to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which

 SCHEDULE 10 

GUARANTEE PRINCIPLES 
  

	1.	The guarantees to be provided will be given in accordance with the agreed guarantee principles set out in this Schedule 10. This Schedule addresses the manner in which
the agreed guarantee principles (the “Guarantee Principles”) will impact on the guarantees proposed to be taken in relation to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. 


 

	2.	The Guarantee Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal, contractual and practical difficulties in obtaining guarantees from all
Obligors in every jurisdiction in which Obligors are located. In particular: 

  

	 	(a)	general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, earnings stripping and similar
principles may limit the ability of a member of the Group to provide a guarantee or may require that the guarantee be limited by an amount or otherwise; the Company will use all reasonable endeavours to assist in demonstrating that adequate
corporate benefit accrues to Anheuser-Busch and each Obligor; and 

  

	 	(b)	members of the Group will not be required to give guarantees if it would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal or regulatory
prohibition (including, without limitation, any prohibition contained in case law) or result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer provided that the relevant Group member shall use its all reasonable
endeavours to overcome any such obstacle.
