THE FACILITY 
  

	2	 THE FACILITY 


  


	2.1	 The Facility 



Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders make available to the Borrowers a dollar term loan facility in three Tranches in an
aggregate amount not exceeding the Total Commitments. 
  

	2.2	 Finance Parties’ rights and obligations 



 

	(a)	 The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to
perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.



  

	(b)	 The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent
rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from a Transaction Obligor is a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with
paragraph (c) below. The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of the Loan or any other amount owed by a Transaction Obligor which relates
to a Finance Party’s participation in the Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Facility Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Transaction Obligor.



  

	(c)	 A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights
under or in connection with the Finance Documents. 


  

	2.3	 Borrowers’ Agent 



 

	(a)	 Each Borrower by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints Guarantor A to act on its behalf as its
agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises: 


  

	 	(i)	 Guarantor A on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the
Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including the Utilisation Request), to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Borrower
notwithstanding that they may affect the Borrowers, without further reference to or the consent of that Borrower; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Borrower pursuant to the Finance
Documents to Guarantor A, 


 and in each case the Borrowers shall be bound as though that Borrower itself had given the
notices and instructions (including, without limitation, the Utilisation Request) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 

  
 34 














	(b)	 Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or
other communication given or made by Guarantor A or given to Guarantor A under any Finance Document on behalf of a Borrower or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any Borrower) shall be binding for all purposes on that
Borrower as if that Borrower had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of Guarantor A and any Borrower, those of Guarantor A shall prevail. 



 

	3	 PURPOSE 


  

	3.1	 Purpose

 SECTION 5 

COSTS OF UTILISATION 
  

	8	 INTEREST 


  

	8.1	 Calculation of interest 



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

  

	(a)	 the Margin; and 


  

	(b)	 LIBOR. 


  

	8.2	 Payment of interest 



 

	(a)	 The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the Loan or any part of the Loan on the last day of each Interest
Period (each an “Interest Payment Date”). 


  

	(b)	 If an Interest Period is longer than three Months, the Borrowers shall also pay interest then accrued on the
Loan or the relevant part of the Loan on the dates falling at three Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period. 


  

	8.3	 Default interest 



 

	(a)	 If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document other than a Hedging Agreement on
its due date, interest shall accrue on the Unpaid Sum 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 2 per cent. per annum higher than the rate which
would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted part of the Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by
the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 (Default interest) shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of
the Majority Lenders). 


  

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


  

	 	(i)	 the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the
current Interest Period relating to the Loan or that part of the Loan; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 the rate of interest applying to that Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be 2 per cent.
per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if that Unpaid Sum had not become due. 


  

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

	(g)	 If, at any time, the aggregate notional amount of the transactions in respect of the Hedging Agreements exceeds
or, as a result of any repayment or prepayment under this Agreement, will exceed the Loan at that time, the Borrowers must promptly notify the Facility Agent and must, at the request of the Facility Agent, reduce the aggregate notional amount of
those transactions by an amount and in a manner satisfactory to the Facility Agent so that it no longer exceeds or will not exceed the Loan then or that will be outstanding.

termination or close out. 


  

	(m)	 If a Hedge Counterparty is entitled to terminate or close out any transaction in respect of any Hedging

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax. 

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than

required by law. 


  

	(b)	 The Borrowers shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is
any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives
such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrowers and that Obligor. 


  

	(c)	 If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor
shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 



 

	(d)	 If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment
required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 


  

	(e)	 Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction,
the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate

 53 














	12.3	 Tax indemnity 



 

	(a)	 The Obligors shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of a

Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document. 


  

	(b)	 Paragraph (a) above shall not apply: 



 

	 	(i)	 with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or 


  

	 	(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

	(a)	 a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment
or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was received; and 


  

	(b)	 that Finance Party has obtained and utilised 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. 

  
 54 














	12.5	 Stamp taxes 



The Obligors shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability which that
Secured Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document. 
  

	12.6	 VAT 


  

	(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). 



 

	(b)	 If VAT is or becomes 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 other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the
consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): 


  

	 	(i)	 (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant
Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this sub-paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to
the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant
Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from
the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. 


  

	(c)	 Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense,
that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part of it 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 12.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a
member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the
supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union)) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or
the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).




  
 55 














	(e)	 In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably
requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting
requirements in relation to such supply. 


  

	12.7	 FATCA Information 



 

	(a)	 Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by
another Party: 


  

	 	(i)	 confirm to that other Party whether it is: 



 

	 	(A)	 a FATCA Exempt Party; or 



 

	 	(B)	 not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA
as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other
Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation or exchange of information regime. 


  

	(b)	 If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to sub-paragraph
(i) of paragraph (a) 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 and
sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: 



 

	 	(i)	 any law or regulation; 



 

	 	(ii)	 any fiduciary duty; or 



 

	 	(iii)	 any duty of confidentiality. 



 

	(d)	 If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or
other information requested in accordance with sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) of paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall
be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.



  

	(e)	 If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or the Facility Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA

	(a)	 guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Transaction Obligor of all such other
Transaction Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 


  

	(b)	 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Transaction Obligor 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 were the principal obligor; and

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 another Transaction 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 under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under
this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 


  

	17.2	 Continuing guarantee 



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

	17.3	 Reinstatement 



If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Transaction Obligor or any security for those
obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured 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 a Guarantor under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	17.4	 Waiver of defences 



The obligations of the Guarantors under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and in respect of any Transaction Security will not be
affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 17.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) or in respect of
any Transaction Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including: 
  

	(a)	 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Transaction Obligor or other person;




  
 64 














	(b)	 the release of any other Transaction Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or
arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

in perfecting, or refusal or neglect to take up or enforce, or delay in taking or enforcing any rights against, or security over assets of, any Transaction 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 a Transaction 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. 



 

	17.5	 Immediate recourse 



 

	(a)	 Each of the Guarantors waives any right they may have of first requiring any Secured 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 (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Finance Document or to enforce any Transaction Security) before
claiming or commencing proceedings under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 



 

	(b)	 Each of the Guarantors acknowledges the right of the Security Agent pursuant to Clause 28.19
(Acceleration) to enforce or exercise any or all of its rights, remedies powers or discretions under any guarantee or indemnity contained in this Agreement. 



 

	17.6	 Appropriations 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Transaction Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full, each Secured 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 Secured 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 the Guarantors shall not be entitled to the benefit of the
same; and 


  

	(b)	 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantors or on account of any
Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity). 



  
 65 














	17.7	 Deferral of Guarantors’ rights 



All rights which the Guarantors at any time have (whether in respect of this guarantee, a mortgage or any other transaction) against any
Borrower, any other Transaction Obligor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties under the Finance Documents and until the end of the Security Period and unless the Facility Agent (acting on the
instructions of the Lenders) otherwise directs, the Guarantors will not exercise any rights which they may have (whether in respect of any Finance Document to which they are a Party or any other transaction) by reason of performance by the
Guarantors of their obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity): 

 

	(a)	 to be indemnified by a Transaction Obligor; 



 

	(b)	 to claim any contribution from any third party providing security for, or any other guarantor of, any
Transaction 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
Secured Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Secured Party; 



 

	(d)	 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Transaction Obligor to make any payment, or
perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantors have given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 17.1 (Guarantee and indemnity); 



 

	(e)	 to exercise any right of set-off against any Transaction Obligor;
and/or 


  

	(f)	 to claim or prove as a creditor of any Transaction Obligor in competition with any Secured Party.



 If the Guarantors receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights they shall hold that benefit,
payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Transaction Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured
Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) may direct for application in accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics). 

 

	17.8	 Additional security 



This guarantee and any other Security given by the Guarantors is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by, and shall not prejudice,
any other guarantee or Security or any other right of recourse now or subsequently held by any Secured Party or any right of set-off or netting or right to combine accounts in connection with the Finance
Documents. 
  

	17.9	 Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other Security

17.6 (Appropriations), 17.7 (Deferral of Guarantors’ rights) and 17.8 (Additional security) shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any Security which a Guarantor creates (whether at the time at which it signs
this Agreement or at any later time) to secure the Secured Liabilities or any part of them. 

  
 66

obligations under the Hedging Agreements; 


  

	(b)	 undertakes with each Hedge Counterparty that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in
connection with any Hedging Agreement, that Hedge Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; and

invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Hedge Counterparty immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such

invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Hedging Agreement on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Hedge Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed
the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors) 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 Borrower under the Hedging Agreements,
regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 
  

	19.3	 Reinstatement 



If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Borrower or any security for those obligations or
otherwise) is made by a Secured 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 Hedge Guarantor under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	19.4	 Waiver of defences 



The obligations of each Hedge Guarantor under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors) and in respect of any
Transaction Security will not be affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (Guarantee
and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors) or in respect of any Transaction Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including: 
  

	(a)	 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Transaction Obligor or other person;



  

	(b)	 the release of any other Transaction Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or
arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

in perfecting, or refusal or neglect to take up or enforce, or delay in taking or enforcing any rights against, or security over assets of, any Transaction 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 a Transaction 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; 



  
 69 














	(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. 



 

	19.5	 Immediate recourse 



Each Hedge Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured 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 (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Finance Document or to enforce any Transaction Security) before claiming or commencing proceedings
under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 

 

	19.6	 Appropriations 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Hedging Agreements have been irrevocably paid
in full, each Secured 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 Secured 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 Hedge Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the
same; and 


  

	(b)	 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Hedge Guarantor or on account of any
Hedge Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors). 


  

	19.7	 Deferral of Hedge Guarantors’ rights 



All rights which each Hedge Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this guarantee, a mortgage or any other transaction) against any
Borrower, any other Transaction Obligor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties under the Finance Documents and until the end of the Security Period and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs,
no Hedge Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have (whether in respect of any Finance Document to which it is a Party or any other transaction) 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 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors): 
  

	(a)	 to be indemnified by a Transaction Obligor; 



 

	(b)	 to claim any contribution from any third party providing security for, or any other guarantor of, any
Transaction 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
Secured Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Secured Party; 



  
 70 














	(d)	 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Transaction Obligor to make any payment, or
perform any obligation, in respect of which any Hedge Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Hedge Guarantors); 



 

	(e)	 to exercise any right of set-off against any Transaction Obligor;
and/or 


  

	(f)	 to claim or prove as a creditor of any Transaction Obligor in competition with any Secured Party.



 If a Hedge Guarantor 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 Secured Parties by the Transaction Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the
Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics). 

 

	19.8	 Additional security 



This guarantee and any other Security given by a Hedge Guarantor is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by, and shall not
prejudice, any other guarantee or Security or any other right of recourse now or subsequently held by any Secured Party or any right of set-off or netting or right to combine accounts in connection with the
Finance Documents.

19.6 (Appropriations), 19.7 (Deferral of Hedge Guarantors’ rights) and 19.8 (Additional security) shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any Security which a Hedge Guarantor creates (whether at the time at which
it signs this Agreement or at any later time) to secure the Secured Liabilities or any part of them.

	 	(ii)	 if any of the Initial Charters becoming the subject of Qualifying Extension or a Substitute Initial Charter (as
applicable), has a net daily rate (the “New Charter Rate”) which is lower than $32,000 per day (the “Minimum Charter Rate”), then the Borrower owning the Ship to which that Initial Charter or Substitute Initial

	(a)	 one-third of the amount of any Repayment Instalment falling due under
Clause 6.1 (Repayment of Loan ) on the next Repayment Date; and 


  

	(b)	 the relevant fraction of the aggregate amount of interest on the Loan which is payable under this Agreement in
respect of any Interest Period then current, reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment from a Hedge Counterparty due to any Borrower under any Hedging Agreement; and 



 

	(c)	 the relevant fraction of the aggregated net amount which is payable by any Borrower to any Hedge Counterparty
under any Hedging Agreement on the next due date for payment of such amount under the relevant Hedging Agreement.

	 	(i)	 the numerator is one; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the denominator is: 


  


	 	(A)	 the number of months comprised in the relevant then current Interest Period; or 



 

	 	(B)	 if the period is shorter, the number of months from the later of the commencement of the relevant current
Interest Period or the last due date for payment of interest on the Loan or the relevant part of the Loan to the next due date for payment of interest on the Loan or the relevant part of the Loan under this Agreement. 



 

	27.4	 Shortfall in Earnings 



 

	(a)	 If the aggregate of the credit balance on each Earnings Account is insufficient in any calendar month for the
required amount to be transferred to the Retention Account under Clause 27.3 (Monthly retentions), the Borrowers shall make up the amount of the insufficiency on demand (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) from the Facility
Agent. 


  

	(b)	 Without prejudicing the Facility Agent’s right to make such demand at any time (if so instructed by the
Majority Lenders), the Facility Agent may, if so authorised by the Majority Lenders, permit the Borrowers to make up all or part of the insufficiency by increasing the amount of any transfer under Clause 27.3 (Monthly retentions) from the
Earnings received in the next or subsequent calendar months. 


  

	27.5	 Release of Earnings 



Subject to the terms of the General Assignment, any amount standing to the credit of an Earnings Account shall be freely available to the
Borrower owning that Earnings Account for the purpose of the payment of operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of owning, operating, crewing, victualling, maintaining, insuring, managing and repairing the Ship owned by it, for its

	 	(i)	 any Repayment Instalment due on that Repayment Date; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the amount of interest payable on that Interest Payment Date, 



in discharge of the Borrowers’ liability for that Repayment Instalment and that interest. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers rights under this Clause are limited to instructing the Account Bank to release funds to the Facility
Agent and the Borrowers’ right to instruct the Account Bank to effect such release does not afford the Borrowers with signing rights in relation to the Retention Account. 
  


	(c)	 Until an Event of Default occurs, the Borrowers shall instruct the Account Bank to release to any Hedge
Counterparty: 


  

	 	(i)	 the amount payable by any Borrower to any Hedge Counterparty under any Hedging Agreement on each Interest
Payment Date; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 the amount of any Hedging Prepayment Proceeds paid into the Retention Account during the Interest Period ending
on that date, 


 in discharge of the Borrowers’ liability for that amount under any Hedging Agreement or its
prepayment obligation under Clause 7.6 (Mandatory prepayment of Hedging Prepayment Proceeds) as the case may be. 
 For the avoidance
of doubt, the Borrowers rights under this Clause are limited to instructing the Account Bank to release funds to any Hedge Counterparty and the Borrowers’ right to instruct the Account Bank to effect such release does not afford the Borrowers
with signing rights in relation to the Retention Account. 
  

	27.7	 Interest accrued on Retention Account 



Any credit balance on the Retention Account shall bear interest at the rate from time to time offered by the Account Bank to its customers for
dollar deposits of similar amounts and for periods similar to those for which such balances appear to the Account Bank likely to remain on the Retention Account.

Interest accruing under Clause 27.7 (Interest accrued on Retention Account) shall be credited to the Retention Account and, to the
extent not applied previously pursuant to Clause 27.5 (Application of retentions), shall be released to the Borrowers at the end of the Security Period.

 SECTION 9 

CHANGES TO PARTIES 
  

	29	 CHANGES TO THE LENDERS AND HEDGE COUNTERPARTIES 



 

	29.1	 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 



Subject to this Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may: 

 

	(a)	 assign any of its rights; or 



 

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



under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or
established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”). 
  

	29.2	 Conditions of assignment or transfer 



 

	(a)	 The Borrowers consent is not required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender.



  

	(b)	 An assignment will only be effective on: 



 

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



 

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



 

	(c)	 Each Obligor on behalf of itself and each Transaction Obligor agrees that all rights and interests (present,
future or contingent) which the Existing Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the New Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrower or
any other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender. 


  

	(d)	 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) is
complied with. 


  

	(e)	 If: 


  

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


  

	 	(ii)	 as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Transaction
Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance
Document or Clause 13 (Increased Costs), 



  
 121 













 then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to
receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (e) shall not apply in
respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility or in connection with a Relevant Retranching. 
  

	(f)	 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the
avoidance of doubt, that the Facility 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. 



 

	29.3	 Assignment or transfer fee 



The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of
$5,000. 
  

	29.4	 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 Transaction Obligor; 



 

	 	(iii)	 the performance and observance by any Transaction Obligor 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 and 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 Transaction 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 Transaction Obligor and its
related entities throughout the Security Period. 



  
 122 














	(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 29 (Changes to the Lenders); or 



 

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


  

	29.5	 Procedure for transfer 



 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), a transfer is
effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility 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 this Agreement and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.



  

	(b)	 The Facility 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 in its sole discretion that it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New
Lender. 


  

	(c)	 Subject to Clause 29.10 (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 Transaction 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 Transaction 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 Transaction Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Transaction Obligor and the Existing Lender;



  

	 	(iii)	 the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and 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 Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lenders 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”. 



 

	29.6	 Procedure for assignment 



 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment
may be effected in accordance with paragraph (b) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing 



  
 123 














	 	
Lender and the New Lender. The Facility 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. 

  

	(b)	 The Facility 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 in its sole discretion it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New
Lender. 


 Subject to Clause 29.10 (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. 


  

	(c)	 Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 (Procedure for assignment)
to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Transaction Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Transaction Obligor from the
obligations owed to that Transaction 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 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).



  

	29.7	 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrowers 



The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement (and in any
event no later than three Business Days of execution), send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement. 
  

	29.8	 Additional Hedge Counterparties 



 

	(a)	 A Lender may request that it or another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or another bank or financial
institution becomes an Additional Hedge Counterparty, with the prior approval of the Lenders and (in the case of a request by a Lender) the Borrowers, by delivering to the Facility Agent a duly executed Hedge Counterparty Accession Letter.



  

	(b)	 The relevant Lender or Affiliate or other bank or financial institution will become an Additional Hedge
Counterparty when the Facility Agent enters into the relevant Hedge Counterparty Accession Letter. 



  
 124 














	29.9	 Security over Lenders’ rights 



In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may without consulting
with or obtaining consent from any Transaction 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)	 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, 


 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 Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or 


  

	 	(ii)	 require any payments to be made by a Transaction Obligor other than or in excess of, 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. 


  

	29.10	 Pro rata interest settlement 



 

	(a)	 If the Facility 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 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.6 (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): 


  

	 	(i)	 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 



 

	 	(ii)	 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: 


  

	 	(A)	 when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and



  

	 	(B)	 the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of
this Clause 29.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 



  
 125 














	(b)	 In this Clause 29.10 (Pro rata interest settlement) references to “Interest Period” shall be
construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees. 


  

	(c)	 An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.10 (Pro rata
interest settlement) but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver,
amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 


  

	30	 CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS 



 

	30.1	 Assignment or transfer by Obligors 



No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents, without the prior written
consent of the Facility Agent.

	 	(ii)	 the Lenders agree to the disposal; 



 

	 	(iii)	 the disposal is being made at the request of the Security Agent in circumstances where any security created by
the Security Documents has become enforceable; or

the Security Agent may release the asset(s) being disposed of from any security over those assets created by a Security Document. However, the
proceeds of any disposal (or an amount corresponding to them) must be applied in accordance with the requirements of the Finance Documents (if any). 
  

	(b)	 If the Security Agent is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Clause 30.2 (Release of
security) (at the request and expense of the Borrowers) each Finance Party must enter into any document and do all such other things which are reasonably required to achieve that release. Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the
Security Agent to enter into any such document. Any release will not affect the obligations of any other Obligor under the Finance Documents. 


  

	30.3	 Additional Subordinated Creditors 



 

	(a)	 The Borrowers may request that any person becomes a Subordinated Creditor, with the prior approval of the
Facility Agent, by delivering to the Facility Agent:

Agent enters into the Subordination Agreement and the Subordinated Debt Security delivered under paragraph (a) above.

(b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Facility Agent may appoint a successor Facility Agent. 


  

	(d)	 If the Facility Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer
appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Facility Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Facility Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Facility Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to
persuade the proposed successor Facility Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Facility Agent) agree with the proposed successor Facility Agent amendments to this Clause 31 (The Facility Agent, the Arranger and the Reference Banks) and
any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency
fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Facility Agent’s normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days
of demand, reimburse the retiring Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance. 



  
 134 














	(f)	 The Facility Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.



  

	(g)	 Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further

the Arranger and the Reference Banks) and any other provisions of a Finance Document which are expressed to limit or exclude its liability (or to indemnify it) in acting as Facility Agent. Any fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent
shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.



  

	(h)	 The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Facility Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph
(b) above. In this event, the Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above but the cost referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be for the account of the Borrowers. 



 

	(i)	 The consent of any Borrower (or any other Transaction Obligor) is not required for an assignment or transfer of
rights and/or obligations by the Facility Agent. 


  

	(j)	 The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable,
shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under
the Finance Documents, either: 


  

	 	(i)	 the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.7 (FATCA Information) and a Lender
reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 12.7 (FATCA Information) indicates
that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or 


  

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


 and (in each case) a Lender reasonably
believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign. 

 

	31.14	 Confidentiality 



 

	(a)	 In acting as Facility Agent for the Finance Parties, the Facility Agent shall be regarded as acting through its
agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

department responsible for complying with the obligations assumed by it under the Finance Documents, that information may be treated as confidential to that division or department, and the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it nor
shall it be obliged to disclose such information to any Party. 



  
 135 














	(c)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Facility Agent nor the
Arranger is obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a
fiduciary duty.

may be, the Hedge Counterparty: 


  

	 	(i)	 entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or

Business Days’ prior written notice from that Lender or Hedge Counterparty to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

	(b)	 Each Finance Party shall supply the Facility Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably
specify (through the Facility Agent) as being necessary or desirable to enable the Security Agent to perform its functions as Security Agent. Each Finance Party shall deal with the Security Agent exclusively through the Facility Agent and shall not
deal directly with the Security Agent and any reference to any instructions being given by or sought from any Finance Party or group of Finance Parties by or to the Security Agent in this Agreement must be given or sought through the Facility Agent.



  

	(c)	 Any Lender may by notice to the Facility Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices,
communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under

deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Facility Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the
purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted. 
  

	31.19	 Reliance and engagement letters

	(a)	 The Security Agent shall: 



 

	 	(i)	 unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right,
power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by: 


  

	 	(A)	 all Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf) if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is
an all Lender decision; and 


  

	 	(B)	 in all other cases, the Majority Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf); and 



 

	 	(ii)	 not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above (or if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Finance Party or
group of Finance Parties). 


  

	(b)	 The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the
Majority Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf) (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, from that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties) as to
whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has
requested. 


  

	(c)	 Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties
under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Security Agent by the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting
instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties. 



  
 140 














	(d)	 Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

which is acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) sin a specified manner or to take a specified action; 


  

	 	(ii)	 in respect of any provision which protects the Security Agent’s own position in its personal capacity as

	 	(C)	 Clause 32.30 (Prospective liabilities).

would in the Security Agent’s opinion have an effect equivalent to an amendment or waiver referred to in Clause 44 (Amendments and Waivers), the Security Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so
acting is obtained from each Party (other than the Security Agent) whose consent would have been required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

(iii) of paragraph (d) above, 


 the Security Agent shall do so having regard to the interests of all the Secured
Parties.

or liability (together with any applicable VAT) which it may incur in complying with those instructions. 


  

	(h)	 Without prejudice to the remainder of this Clause 32.4 (Instructions), in the absence of instructions,
the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) take such action in the exercise of its powers and duties under the Finance Documents as it considers in its discretion to be appropriate. 



 

	(i)	 The Security Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Finance Party (without first obtaining that Finance

	(e)	 Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Security
Agent or any Receiver or Delegate, any liability of the Security Agent or any Receiver or Delegate arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document or the Security Property shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been

benefit of Clause 14.5 (Indemnity to the Security Agent) and this Clause 32 (The Security Agent) and any other provisions of a Finance Document which are expressed to limit or exclude its liability (or to indemnify it) in acting as
Security Agent. Any fees for the account of the retiring Security Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as
they would have had if such successor had been an original Party. 


  

	(g)	 The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Security Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph

Finance Document to the contrary, the Security Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a
breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

	(a)	 Any amount payable to the Security Agent under Clause 14.5 (Indemnity to the Security Agent), Clause 16
(Costs and Expenses) and Clause 32.12 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Security Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Security Agent’s management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such

remuneration referred to in paragraph (b) above or whether additional remuneration is appropriate in the circumstances, any dispute shall be determined by an investment bank (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the
Security Agent and approved by the Borrowers or, failing approval, nominated (on the application of the Security Agent) by the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales (the costs of the nomination and of the investment
bank being payable by the Borrowers) and the determination of any investment bank shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due to it under the Finance Documents then: 

 

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


  

	(b)	 the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering
Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the
Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 


  

	(c)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the
Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in
accordance with Clause 35.5 (Application of receipts; partial payments). 


  

	34.2	 Redistribution of payments 



The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Transaction Obligor and distribute it among the

Sharing Finance Parties. 
  

	34.3	 Recovering Finance Party’s rights 



On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 34.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance
Party from a Transaction Obligor, as between the relevant Transaction Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Transaction Obligor. 

 

	34.4	 Reversal of redistribution 



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

	(a)	 each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the 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) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and 



  
 155 














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


  

	34.5	 Exceptions 


  

	(a)	 This Clause 34 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering
Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Transaction Obligor. 


  

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


  

	 	(i)	 it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 that other Finance Party 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.

Hedging Agreements.

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

	49	 ENFORCEMENT 


  

	49.1	 Jurisdiction 


  


	(a)	 Unless specifically provided in another Finance Document in relation to that Finance Document, the courts of
England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of any Finance Document or any
non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document) (a “Dispute”). 


  


	(b)	 The Obligors accept that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle
Disputes and accordingly no Obligor will argue to the contrary. 


  

	(c)	 This Clause 49.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. As a result, no Secured
Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 



 

	49.2	 Service of process 



 

	(a)	 Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an
Obligor incorporated or formed in England and Wales): 


  

	 	(i)	 irrevocably appoints Saville & Co. at its registered office for the time being, presently at One Carey
Lane, London EC2V 8AE, England as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 agrees that failure by a process agent 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 Borrowers (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within 3 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint
another agent for this purpose. 


 This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.
