                                            Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Facility Lender been an Original
                                            Lender;

                                            are satisfied.



 


		(b)	An increase
                                            in the Total Commitments will only be effective on:

                                            Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt)
                                            that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that

		(e)	The Company
                                            may pay (or procure the payment) to the Facility Increase Lender a fee in the amount and
                                            at the times agreed between the Company and the Facility Increase Lender in a Fee Letter.

the Market Disruption Amount,

		(ii)	the weighted average of the rates notified to the Agent by each Lender as soon as practicable but in any
event:



 


		(A)	in relation to a Term Rate Loan, within five Business Days before the date on which interest is due to

demand by the Facility Agent, pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the cost, loss or liability which that Protected Party determines
will be or has been (directly or indirectly) incurred for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a payment received
or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) or otherwise under a Finance Document.



 


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



 


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



 


		(A)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction
(or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or



 






    	 	64 	 



     


    

 


		(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 cost, loss or liability:



 


		(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax Gross-Up); or



 


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



 


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



 


		(d)	A Protected Party must, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 12.3 (Tax Indemnity),
notify the Facility Agent promptly.



 


		12.4	Tax Credit



 


If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and
the relevant Finance Party determines that:


 


		(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable to, and identifiable by the relevant Finance Party as:



 


		(i)	an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part;



 


		(ii)	that Tax Payment; or



 


		(iii)	a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and



 


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



 


the Finance Party must 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.


 


		12.5	Stamp Taxes



 


The Company shall pay and, within three
Business Days of demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability that Secured Party incurs in relation to all

to such stamp duty, registration or similar Tax, incurred by a Finance Party in respect of a transfer or assignment of its rights and/or
obligations under a Finance Document.


 


		12.6	Value Added Taxes



 


		(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 the 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).



 






    	 	65 	 



     


    

 


		(b)	If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”)
to any other 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 such
VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit
or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable
on that supply; and



 


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



 


		(c)	Where VAT is or becomes chargeable in Nigeria on any supply made by the Supplier to the Recipient under
a Finance Document, and the Recipient is required by law to withhold, remit and make returns on the VAT to the relevant tax authority,
the Recipient shall do so on or before the due date for the remittance or making the returns, and shall promptly provide the Supplier
evidence of the Recipient’s compliance.



 


		(d)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or
expense, that Party must reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) the Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including
that part which represents VAT, except to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment
in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.



 


		(e)	Any reference in this Clause 12.6 (Value Added Taxes) to any Party will, at any time when
that Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a
reference to the representative member of that group at that time (the term representative member to have the same meaning as in
the Value Added Tax Act 1994).



 


		(f)	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 must, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request
by another Party:

		(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or



 






    	 	66 	 



     


    

 


		(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;



 


		(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under
FATCA as that other Party requests to enable that other Party to comply 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 paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt
Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be, a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party must notify that other Party
reasonably promptly.



 


		(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) 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 relating to its status under FATCA requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including where paragraph (c) above
applies), then that Party may be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made under them) as if it is not a FATCA
Exempt Party until it provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.



 


		12.8	FATCA Deduction



 


		(a)	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection
with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction
or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.



 


		(b)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any
change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify
the Company and the Facility Agent, and the Facility Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.



 


		12.9	Other Information



 


		(a)	Subject to paragraph (b) below, each Party must, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request
by another Party, supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party
requests to enable that other Party to comply with any applicable law or regulation implementing international arrangements for the exchange
of Tax or financial information between jurisdictions.



 






    	 	67 	 



     


    

 


		(b)	No Party is obliged to do anything under paragraph (a) above which would or might in its reasonable
opinion constitute a breach of any applicable:



 


		(i)	law or regulation;



 


		(ii)	fiduciary duty; or



 


		(iii)	duty of confidentiality.

invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any
cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs as a result of the Company not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability,
invalidity or illegality, have been payable by the Company under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount

facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business
acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing
existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension
of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated
with any of the foregoing.


 


		16.5	Waiver of Defences

this Clause will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any
of its obligations under this Clause including (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party):


 


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



 


		(b)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement

or any failure to realise the full value of any security;



 


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



 


		(f)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension (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;



 


		(g)	any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any obligation of any person under
any Finance Document or any other document or security; or



 


		(h)	any insolvency, resolution or similar proceedings.



 






    	 	73 	 



     


    

 


		16.6	Immediate Recourse



 


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



 


		(b)	This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.



 


		16.7	Appropriations



 


Until all amounts which may be or become
payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any
trustee or agent on its behalf) may:


 


		(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance
Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees
fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor will be entitled to the benefit of such moneys, security or rights;
and



 


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



 


		16.8	Deferral of Guarantors’ Rights



 


		(a)	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance
Documents have been irrevocably paid in full or unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which
it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or
liability arising under this Clause:



 


		(i)	to be indemnified by an Obligor;



 


		(ii)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance
Documents;



 


		(iii)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights
of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the
Finance Documents by any Finance Party;



 


		(iv)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform
any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under this Clause;



 


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



 


		(vi)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.



 


		(b)	If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it must hold that
benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by
the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and must promptly
pay or transfer them to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment
Mechanics).

disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:


 


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



 


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

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


 


		16.11	Limitations

by that Guarantor.

		(iii)	such
                                            payment can be lawfully withheld and failure to pay those Taxes would not be reasonably likely
                                            to have a Material Adverse Effect.



  


		(b)	The

                                            any Loan in a manner which would, or would be reasonably likely to:



 


		(i)	result
                                            in the guarantee or indemnity from a Guarantor under Clause 16 (Guarantee and Indemnity)

                                            to be void, avoidable, invalidated or otherwise ineffective.

                                            title of any Obligor to any Security Asset (and the Security Agent may allow any bank providing
                                            safe custody services or any professional adviser to the Security Agent to retain any such
                                            deed or document in its possession);



 


		(b)	obtain
                                            any licence, consent or other authority for the execution, delivery, legality, validity,

                                            file or record or otherwise protect its rights under any Security Document (or the priority
                                            of any Security created under any Security Document) under any law or regulation or to give
                                            notice to any person of the execution of any Security Document or the existence of any such

		(d)	take,
                                            or to require any Obligor to take, any step to perfect its title to any Security Asset or
                                            to render any Security created under any Security Document effective or to secure the creation

		24.3	Insurance
                                            by Security Agent



 


		(a)	The
                                            Security Agent will not be obliged:



 


		(i)	to
                                            insure any of the Security Assets;



 


		(ii)	to
                                            require any other person to maintain any insurance; or

a result of the lack of, or inadequacy of, any such insurance.


 


		(b)	Where
                                            the Security Agent is named on any insurance policy as an insured party, it will not be liable
                                            for any cost, loss or liability whatsoever any person incurs or any diminution in value arising
                                            as a result of the Security Agent’s failure to notify the insurers of any material
                                            fact relating to the risk assumed by the insurers or any other information of any kind, unless
                                            the Majority Lenders request it to do so in writing and the Security Agent fails to do so
                                            within 14 days after receipt of that request.



 


		24.4	Acceptance
                                            of Title

		24.5	Release
                                            of Security



 


		(a)	If
                                            a Guarantor:



 


		(i)	ceases
                                            to be a member of the Group; or



 


		(ii)	is
                                            released from its obligations under the Finance Documents,



 


in a manner
permitted or not prohibited under the Finance Documents, any Security Interest created by that Guarantor over its assets under the Security
Documents will be released.


 


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



 


		(i)	the
                                            disposal is allowed by the terms of the Finance Documents and will not result in, or could
                                            not reasonably be expected to result in, any Default;



 


		(ii)	all
                                            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 asset
being disposed of (and, in the case of a disposal of shares in a Guarantor which results in it ceasing to be a member of the Group, all
of the assets of that Guarantor) will be released from any Security over it 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).


 


		(c)	Any
                                            release under this Clause 24.5 (Release of Security) will not become effective
                                            until the date of the relevant disposal or otherwise in accordance with the consent of the
                                            Majority Lenders.



 


		(d)	If
                                            a disposal is not made, then any release relating to that disposal will have no effect, and
                                            the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents will continue in full force and
                                            effect.



 


		(e)	If
                                            the Security Agent is instructed by the Facility Agent that a release is allowed under this
                                            Clause 24.5 (Release of Security), (at the request and expense of the relevant
                                            Obligor) 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.



 


		24.6	Certificate

		24.7	Enforcement
                                            Through Security Agent Only



 


The Finance
Parties have no independent power to enforce, and no recourse to, any of the Security Documents or to exercise any right, power, authority
or discretion arising under the Security Documents except through the Security Agent.

		24.8	Information
                                            for Security Agent



 


Each
Finance Party and each Obligor must supply the Security Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably specify as
being necessary or desirable to enable it to perform its functions as Security Agent.


 


		25.	Changes
                                            to the Lenders

Subject
to the other provisions of this Clause and Clause 26 (Restriction on Debt Purchase Transactions), a Lender (the “Existing
Lender”) may:


 


		(a)	assign
                                            any of its rights; or



 


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



 


under
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”).


 


		25.2	Conditions
                                            of Assignment or Transfer



 


		(a)	The
                                            consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer unless the assignment or
                                            transfer is:



 


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



 


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



 


		(iii)	to
                                            an entity included on the White List; or



 


		(iv)	effected
                                            at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.



 


		(b)	The
                                            Facility Agent has no obligation to verify that the conditions set out in paragraph (a) above
                                            have been satisfied.



 


		(c)	Notwithstanding
                                            the above or any other provisions of this Agreement, an Existing Lender must obtain the prior
                                            written consent of the Company (to be granted in its absolute discretion) before entering
                                            into any assignment, transfer, sub-participation or derivative transaction (which transfers
                                            any discretion with regard to the exercise of voting rights) with or in favour of any person
                                            that is a Trade Competitor at the time of such assignment, transfer, sub-participation or
                                            derivative transaction.



 


For this
purpose “Trade Competitor” means a person, or an Affiliate of such person, where such person’s primary business,
or a material portion of such person’s business, is substantially the same as the business of the Company, including the business
of passive telecommunication infrastructure.


 


		(d)	Except
                                            in the case of paragraph (c) above, the consent of the Company to an assignment
                                            or transfer (if required) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will
                                            be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the Company is given notice of
                                            the request unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time.



 


		(e)	Unless
                                            the Company and the Facility Agent otherwise agree, a transfer of part of a Commitment or
                                            of part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement by an Existing Lender must be
                                            in a minimum amount of USD1,000,000 or, if the Commitment of an Existing Lender is less than
                                            USD1,000,000, the whole amount of that Existing Lender’s Commitment.

		(f)	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, in relation to the assigned rights, assume obligations to the other Parties
                                            equivalent to those it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender; and



 


		(ii)	performance
                                            by the Facility Agent of any “know your customer” checks or other similar checks
                                            required under any applicable law or regulation in relation to such assignment to a New Lender,
                                            the completion of which the Facility Agent must notify to the Existing Lender and the New
                                            Lender promptly.



 


		(g)	A
                                            transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 25.5 (Procedure
                                            for Transfer) is complied with.



 


		(h)	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,
                                            an Obligor would be obliged to make a Tax Payment or a payment relating to Increased Costs,



 


then the
relevant Obligor is only obliged to make that Tax Payment or payment relating to Increased Costs to the same extent that it would have
been obliged to pay if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.


 


		(i)	Each
                                            New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms
                                            that:



 


		(i)	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 before the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance
                                            with this Agreement; and



 


		(ii)	it
                                            is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it
                                            remained a Lender.



 


		25.3	Assignment
                                            or Transfer Fee



 


Unless

                                            rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar
                                            as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that

                                            it as a result of the transfer and to that extent each Administrative Party and the Existing

                                            to compliance with paragraph (c) below, if a Subsidiary is to become a Guarantor
                                            (other than the Guarantors as at the date of this Agreement), the Company must notify the

                                            if:



 


		(i)	the
                                            Company delivers to the Facility Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Letter; and



 


		(ii)	the
                                            Facility Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part 2
                                            of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent) in relation to that Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor,
                                            each in form and substance satisfactory to the Relevant Lenders (or the receipt of such documents
                                            and evidence has been waived by the Relevant Lenders).



 


		(b)	The
                                            relevant Subsidiary will become a Guarantor when the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance

		(c)	If
                                            the accession of a Guarantor requires any Finance Party or prospective new Lender to carry
                                            out “know your customer” checks or other similar checks under any applicable
                                            law or regulation in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available
                                            to it, the Company must, promptly on request by any Finance Party, supply, or procure the
                                            supply of, any documentation or other evidence reasonably requested by that Finance Party
                                            (whether for itself, or on behalf of any other Finance Party or any prospective new Lender)
                                            to enable a Finance Party or prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied with the
                                            results of those checks.

                                            it must promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

                                            Administrative Party will be bound to account to any other Finance Party or (in the case

		(b)	If
                                            it is also a Lender, each Administrative Party has the same rights and powers under the Finance
                                            Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those rights and powers as though it were
                                            not an Administrative Party.



 


		(c)	Each
                                            Administrative Party may carry on any business with any member of the Group or its related

                                            it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and



 


		(iii)	without
                                            prejudice to the generality of paragraph (ii) above, rely on a certificate from
                                            any person:

		(B)	to
                                            the effect that the person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action
                                            or thing,

                                            counsel to that Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if that
                                            Agent, in its reasonable opinion, deems this to be necessary.



 


		(e)	Each

                                            for any error of judgment made by any person; or



 


		(ii)	bound
                                            to supervise, or in any way responsible for any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission
                                            or default on the part of any such person,



 


	 	unless such error or such loss was directly caused
                                            by that Administrative Party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

                                            a Receiver or a Delegate arising under or in connection with any Finance Document is limited
                                            to the amount of actual loss suffered (as determined by reference to the date of that Administrative
                                            Party’s, Receiver’s or Delegate’s default or, if later, the date on which
                                            the loss arises as a result of the default) but without reference to any special conditions
                                            or circumstances known to that Administrative Party, Receiver or Delegate at any time which
                                            increase the amount of that loss. In no event will an Administrative Party, a Receiver or
                                            a Delegate be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity
                                            or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether
                                            or not that Administrative Party, Receiver or Delegate was advised of the possibility of
                                            such loss or damages.

                                            Indemnity to the Agents

or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately before their reduction to zero) indemnify
each Agent, Receiver and Delegate against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category
of liability whatsoever) incurred by that Agent, Receiver or Delegate (other than by reason of that Agent’s, Receiver’s or
Delegate’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 32.10
(Disruption to Payment Systems), 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 Agent, Receiver or Delegate
under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent, Receiver or Delegate has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).


 


		28.12	Appointment
                                            and Resignation of an Agent



 


		(a)	A

                                            by the approved person entering into such relevant documentation to confirm (in form and
                                            substance satisfactory to the Company and the Majority Lenders) that it is bound by the terms
                                            of this Agreement as if it were the Security Agent as at the date of this Agreement. Any
                                            person so appointed will have the rights, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding
                                            those contemplated to be given to a security agent under or in connection with the Finance
                                            Documents contemplated in, and as at the date of, this Agreement) and the duties, obligations
                                            and responsibilities that are given or imposed by the instrument of appointment.



 


		(b)	An
                                            Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates (acting through an office in Europe) as
                                            its successor by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and the Company.



 


		(c)	Alternatively,
                                            an Agent may, without giving reasons and without being responsible for the cost thereof,
                                            resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the other Finance Parties and the Company,
                                            in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the other Finance Parties and
                                            the Company) may appoint a successor Agent.



 


		(d)	If
                                            the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (c) above
                                            within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation
                                            with the other Finance Parties and the Company) may appoint a successor Agent (acting through
                                            an office in Europe).



 


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



 


		(f)	The
                                            retiring Agent must:

                                            any assistance the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing
                                            its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents; and



 






    	 	120 	 



     


    

 


		(ii)	enter
                                            into and deliver to the successor Agent those documents and effect any registrations as may
                                            be reasonably required for the transfer or assignment of all of its rights and benefits under
                                            the Finance Documents to the successor Agent.



 


		(g)	The

		(h)	The
                                            Security Agent’s resignation will only take effect on:



 


		(i)	the
                                            appointment of a successor; and



 


		(ii)	the
                                            transfer to that successor of the Security granted to the Security Agent,



 


	 	so long as no other
                                            Finance Party has notified the Facility Agent that it is not satisfied with the creditworthiness
                                            of the proposed successor Security Agent within seven days of the Security Agent’s
                                            notification under paragraph (a) above.



 


		(i)	When
                                            its resignation takes effect:



 


		(i)	the
                                            retiring Agent will be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents
                                            (other than its obligations under paragraph (f) above and, in the case of the Security
                                            Agent, under Clause 28.22 (Winding Up of Security Arrangements)) but will remain
                                            entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent), Clause 14.4
                                            (Indemnity to the Security Agent), Clause 24.2 (No Responsibility to Perfect
                                            Security), Clause 24.3 (Insurance by Security Agent), Clause 24.4 (Acceptance
                                            of Title) and this Clause 28;



 


		(ii)	the
                                            Company must immediately pay to the retiring Agent any facility or security agency fees that
                                            have accrued for the account of the retiring Agent and no further agency fees will accrue
                                            for the account of the retiring Agent; and



 


		(iii)	any
                                            successor and each of the other Parties will have the same rights and obligations amongst
                                            themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.



 


		(j)	After
                                            consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving notice to an Agent, require
                                            it to resign under paragraph (c) above. In this event, that Agent must resign in
                                            accordance with paragraph (c) above.



 


		(k)	The
                                            Company or, after consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving notice
                                            to the Facility Agent and the other Parties, replace the Facility Agent with effect on and
                                            from the date specified in the notice by appointing a successor Facility Agent (acting through
                                            an office in the UK) if either:



 


		(i)	the
                                            Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.7 (FATCA Information)
                                            and the Company or 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



 






    	 	121 	 



     


    

 


		(iii)	the
                                            Facility Agent notifies the Company 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, the Company or 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 the Company or that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.



 


		28.13	Confidentiality



 


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



 


		(b)	If
                                            information is (in the opinion of an Agent) received by another division or department of
                                            that Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and that Agent
                                            will not be deemed to have notice of it.



 


		(c)	No
                                            Agent is obliged to disclose to any person any confidential information supplied to it by
                                            or on behalf of a member of the Group solely for the purpose of evaluating whether any waiver
                                            or amendment is required in respect of any term of the Finance Documents.



 


		28.14	Relationship
                                            with the Lenders



 


		(a)	Subject
                                            to Clause 25.9 (Pro Rata Interest Settlement), the Facility Agent may treat the
                                            person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Facility
                                            Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the
                                            Lender acting through its Facility Office:



 


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



 


		(ii)	entitled
                                            to receive and act on any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision
                                            or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,



 


unless
it has received not less than five Business Days’ notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.


 


		(b)	The
                                            Facility Agent may at any time, and must if requested to do so by the Majority Lenders, convene
                                            a meeting of the Lenders.



 


		(c)	



 


		(i)	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.



 


		(ii)	Any
                                            such notice:



 


		(A)	must
                                            contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic
                                            means is permitted under this Agreement) electronic mail address and/or any other information
                                            required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the
                                            department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made); and



 






    	 	122 	 



     


    

 


		(B)	will
                                            be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address
                                            (or such other information), and department or officer, by that Lender for the purposes of
                                            the Finance Documents.



 


		(d)	The
                                            Facility Agent is entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such
                                            notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.



 


		28.15	Credit
                                            Appraisal by the Lenders



 


Without
affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document,
each Lender confirms to the Administrative Parties that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent
appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including without limitation:


 


		(a)	the
                                            financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group;



 


		(b)	the
                                            legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and
                                            any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation
                                            of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;



 


		(c)	whether
                                            that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or
                                            any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions
                                            contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered
                                            into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;



 


		(d)	the
                                            adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by an Agent, any other Party
                                            or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions
                                            contemplated by any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered
                                            into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;
                                            and



 


		(e)	the
                                            right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of any part of, the Security
                                            Assets, the priority of any Security created under the Security Documents or the existence
                                            of any other Security affecting the Security Assets.



 


		28.16	Deduction
                                            From Amounts Payable by the Facility Agent



 


If any
Party owes an amount to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, 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 will be regarded as having received the amount so deducted.


 


		28.17	Notice
                                            Period



 


Unless
expressly provided to the contrary, where this Agreement specifies a minimum period of notice to be given to an Agent, that Agent may,
at its discretion, accept a shorter notice period.


 


		28.18	Conflict
                                            with Security Documents



 


If there
is any conflict between this Agreement and any Security Document with regard to instructions to, or other matters affecting, the Security
Agent, this Agreement will prevail.

		28.19	Custodians
                                            and Nominees



 


The Security
Agent may appoint and pay any person to act as a custodian, agent or nominee on any terms (including for the receipt of moneys) in relation
to any document or asset it holds on the terms of this Agreement as the Security Agent may determine, including for the purpose of depositing
with a custodian this Agreement or any other document and the Security Agent will not be bound to supervise or be in any way responsible
or liable for any cost, loss or liability whatsoever any person incurs or any diminution in value arising as a result of the misconduct,
omission or default of any such custodian or nominee.


 


		28.20	Delegation
                                            by the Security Agent



 


		(a)	Each
                                            of the Security Agent, any Receiver and any Delegate may, at any time, delegate by power
                                            of attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any rights, powers, authorities
                                            or discretions vested in it in its capacity as such.



 


		(b)	That
                                            delegation may be made on any terms and conditions (including the power to sub-delegate)
                                            and subject to any restrictions that the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case
                                            may be) may, in its discretion, think fit in the interests of the Secured Parties.



 


		(c)	No
                                            Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate will be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible
                                            or liable for any cost, loss or liability whatsoever any person incurs or any diminution
                                            in value arising as a result of any misconduct, omission or default of any such delegate.

		(a)	The
                                            Security Agent may appoint any person to act as a separate security agent or a co-security
                                            agent jointly with it:



 


		(i)	if
                                            it considers that appointment to be in the interests of the Secured Parties;



 


		(ii)	for
                                            the purpose of complying with any law, regulation or other condition in any jurisdiction;

                                            Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment

                                            Finance Party’s Rights



 


		(a)	On
                                            a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 31.2 (Redistribution of Payments)
                                            the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which
                                            have shared in that redistribution.



 


		(b)	If
                                            and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under
                                            paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the Recovering Finance Party
                                            a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.



 


		31.4	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 must, on 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”);



 


		(b)	at
                                            the time of the request by the Facility Agent under paragraph (a) above, the Sharing
                                            Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Recovering Finance Party in respect
                                            of the relevant Redistributed Amount; and



 


		(c)	if
                                            and to the extent that the Sharing Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under
                                            paragraph (b) above as between the relevant 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 Obligor.

		(a)	This
                                            Clause will 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
                                            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.

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



 


		(b)	Unless
                                            a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be made in another manner, each
                                            payment must be made to such account in New York and with such bank as the Facility Agent
                                            specifies.



 


		32.2	Distributions
                                            by the Facility Agent



 


Each
payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party must, except as provided in this Clause, be paid
by the Facility Agent to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account
of its Facility Office) as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt, to such account in New York and with such bank as that Party
may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice.


 


		32.3	Distributions
                                            to an Obligor



 


The Facility
Agent may (with the consent of an Obligor or in accordance with Clause 33 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor
in or towards payment (as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents.
For this purpose the Facility Agent may apply the received sum in or towards the purchase of any amount of any currency to be paid.

                                            and Pre-Funding



 


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

		(b)	If
                                            the Facility Agent or its Affiliate or Representative on its behalf or direction (the Facility
                                            Agent and its applicable Affiliate or Representative, a “Facility Agent Entity”)
                                            pays an amount to another Party (unless paragraph (c) below applies) or, at the direction
                                            of such Party, that Party’s Affiliate, Related Fund or Representative (such Party and
                                            its applicable Affiliate, Related Fund or Representative, an “Other Party Entity”)
                                            and it proves to be the case (in the sole determination of the Facility Agent) that (i) neither
                                            the Facility Agent nor the applicable Facility Agent Entity actually received that amount
                                            or (ii) such amount was otherwise paid in error (whether such error was known or ought
                                            to have been known to such other Party or applicable Other Party Entity), then the Party
                                            to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid (or on whose
                                            direction its applicable Other Party Entity was paid) by the applicable Facility Agent Entity
                                            shall hold such amount on trust or, to the extent not possible as a matter of law, for the
                                            account (or will procure that its applicable Other Party Entity holds on trust or for the
                                            account) of the Facility Agent Entity and on demand (or will procure that its applicable
                                            Other Party Entity shall) refund the same to the Facility Agent Entity together with interest
                                            on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent Entity,
                                            calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.



 


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



 


		(i)	the
                                            Facility Agent must notify the Company promptly of that Lender’s identity and the Company
                                            must hold such amount on trust or, to the extent not possible as a matter of law, for the
                                            account, of the Facility Agent and on demand refund it to the Facility Agent; and



 


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



 


		32.5	Partial
                                            Payments



 


		(a)	If
                                            the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then
                                            due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent must apply
                                            that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following
                                            order:



 


		(i)	first,
                                            in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to the Administrative Parties,
                                            any Receiver or any Delegate under the Finance Documents;



 


		(ii)	secondly,
                                            in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fees or commission due but
                                            unpaid under this Agreement;



 


		(iii)	thirdly,
                                            in or towards payment pro rata of any principal sum due but unpaid under this Agreement;
                                            and



 


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



 


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



 


		(c)	Paragraphs (a) and
                                            (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

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



 


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

		(a)	Unless
                                            a Finance Document specifies otherwise, USD is the currency of account and payment for any

                                            costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred.



 


		(c)	Any
                                            amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than USD will be paid in that other currency.

                                            of Currency



 


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

                                            in, the currency of that country will be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency
                                            unit of that country designated by the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Company);
                                            and



 


		(ii)	any

		(b)	Any
                                            agreement between the Facility Agent and the Company will (whether or not it is finally determined
                                            that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding on the Parties as an amendment to (or, as
                                            the case may be, a waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions

		(c)	Notwithstanding
                                            any other provision of this Agreement, the Facility Agent will not be liable (whether in
                                            contract, tort or otherwise and whether caused by 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) for any cost, loss or liability whatsoever any
                                            person incurs or any diminution in value arising as a result of the Facility Agent taking
                                            or not taking any action under or in connection with this Clause 32.10 (Disruption
                                            to Payment Systems).



 


		(d)	The
                                            Facility Agent must notify the Finance Parties promptly of all changes agreed pursuant to

                                            of Payments



 


If a
Finance Document does not provide for when a particular payment is due, that payment will be due within three Business Days of demand
by the person to whom the payment is to be made (or, if that person is a Finance Party, the Facility Agent).


 


		33.	Set-Off



 


A Finance
Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance
Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch
or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the 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.

as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of
any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in each Finance Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law and may be waived only in writing and specifically.
