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 the 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. 

Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made
by the Guarantor A or given to the 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 the Guarantor A and any Borrower, those of the Guarantor A shall prevail.

reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

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.

required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

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:

	 	(B)	 under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of
amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, 


 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net
income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or 
  

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



 

	 	(A)	 is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.2 (Tax gross-

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. 
  

	11.5	 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.

	11.6	 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 11.6 (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).



  

	(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.

	 	(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

(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:

	 	(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

certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation. 


  

	(f)	 The Facility Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or
waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the Borrowers. 


  

	(g)	 If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the
Facility Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation
or waiver to the Facility Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent). The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement,
document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrowers. 


  

	(h)	 The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or
waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.

 SECTION 7 

GUARANTEE 
  

	16	 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 



 

	16.1	 Guarantee and indemnity 



Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

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


  

	(b)	 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantors 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 



 

	(c)	 agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or
illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantors 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 the Guarantors under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would
have had to pay under this Clause 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 


  

	16.2	 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. 
  

	16.3	 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 an Guarantor under this Clause 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	16.4	 Waiver of defences 



The obligations of the Guarantors under this Clause 16 (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 16.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 16
(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;




  
 46 














	(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; 


  

	(c)	 the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or delay
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. 



 

	16.5	 Immediate recourse 



The Guarantors waive 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 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 
  

	16.6	 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 a non-interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received
from the Guarantors or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity). 


  

	16.7	 Deferral of Guarantor’s 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 otherwise directs
(acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders), 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 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity): 

  
 47 














	(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;

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 16.1 (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 may direct (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) for application in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment Mechanics).

  

	16.8	 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. 
  

	16.9	 Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other Security

defences), 16.5 (Immediate recourse), 16.6 (Appropriations), 16.7 (Deferral of Guarantor’s rights) and 16.8 (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.

simultaneously or on different dates and the Security Agent may take any action referred to in Clause 26.19 (Enforcement of security) if no such notice is served or simultaneously with or at any time after the service of any of
such notice. 
  

	26.19	 Enforcement of security 



On and at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing the Security Agent may, and shall if so directed by the

regulation.

 SECTION 9 

CHANGES TO PARTIES 
  

	27	 CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 



 

	27.1	 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 



Subject to this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may without the
consent of any Obligor: 
  

	(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 or, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, to any other person (in each case, the “New
Lender”). 
  

	27.2	 Conditions of assignment or transfer 



 

	(a)	 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 were 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. 



 

	(b)	 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 Borrowers or
any other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender. 


  

	(c)	 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 27.5 (Procedure for
transfer) is complied with. 


  

	(d)	 If: 


  

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


  

	 	(ii)	 as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Transaction
Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any
other Finance Document or Clause 12 (Increased Costs), 


 then the New Lender or Lender acting through
its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender 

  
 89 













 
acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (d) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer
made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility. 
  

	(e)	 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. 



 

	27.3	 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
$3,500. 
  

	27.4	 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. 


  

	(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 27 (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. 



  
 90 














	27.5	 Procedure for transfer 



 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (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 27.9 (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 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 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”. 



 

	27.6	 Procedure for assignment 



 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an
assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement 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 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 that 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. 



  
 91 














	(c)	 Subject to Clause 27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:



  

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


  

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



 

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


  

	(d)	 Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 27.6 (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 27.5 (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 27.2
(Conditions of assignment or transfer). 


  

	27.7	 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, send to
the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement. 
  

	27.8	 Security over Lenders’ rights 



In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 27 (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. 


  

	27.9	 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 27.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 27.6 (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): 



  
 92 














	 	(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 27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 


  

	(b)	 In this Clause 27.9 (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 27.9 (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. 


  

	28	 CHANGES TO THE TRANSACTION OBLIGORS 



 

	28.1	 Assignment or transfer by Transaction Obligors 



No Transaction 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 (acting on the instructions of the Lenders). 
  

	28.2	 Release of security 



 

	(a)	 If a disposal of any asset subject to security created by a Security Document is made in the following
circumstances: 


  

	 	(i)	 the disposal is permitted by the terms of any Finance Document; 



 

	 	(ii)	 all 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 


  

	 	(iv)	 the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Security Document, 



the Security Agent may (acting on the instructions of the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of the Lenders) 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 (acting on the instructions of the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of the
Lenders) is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Clause 28.2 (Release of security) 



  
 93 














	 	
(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 Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents. 


  
 94

interest or any fee payable to a Finance Party under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties. 


  

	(g)	 The Facility Agent shall provide to the Borrowers within 5 Business Days of a request by the Borrowers (but no

 99 














	(c)	 The Facility Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with

liability, any liability of the Facility Agent 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 finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as

time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages,

zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent (otherwise than by
reason of the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 33.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.) notwithstanding the Facility Agent’s
negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Facility Agent has been reimbursed

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

obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (d) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 13.4 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent) and this Clause 29
(The Facility 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 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.

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

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 33.3 (Distributions to a

the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 
  

	33.4	 Clawback and pre-funding 



 

	(a)	 Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility

	(b)	 If the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility 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 Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from
the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 


  

	33.5	 Application of receipts; partial payments 



 

	(a)	 If the Facility Agent or the Security Agent (as applicable) receives a payment that is insufficient to

Finance Documents in the following order (in addition to any relevant provisions in the Security Documents):

deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 
  

	33.7	 Business Days 



 

	(a)	 Any payment under the Finance Documents which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be

by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) (after consultation with the Borrowers); and




  
 122 














	 	(ii)	 any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange
recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders). 



 

	(b)	 If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Facility Agent (acting

Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

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.

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 5 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority
Lenders). Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.
