addressee, address or fax number for the purposes of this Clause 6.2, provided that such notice shall only be effective on: 
  

	(a)	the date specified in the notice as the date on which the change is to take place; or 


 

	(b)	if no date is specified or the date specified is less than five Business Days after the date on which notice is given, the date following five Business Days after

 7. DEFAULT INTEREST 

7.1 If any sum due and payable by a Seller, a Servicer, the Parent or a Subordinated VLN Facility Provider is not paid on the due date therefor in
accordance with the provisions of the relevant Transaction Documents or if any sum due and payable by a Seller, a Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider under any judgment or decree of any court in connection herewith is not
paid on the date of such judgment or decree, the period beginning on such due date or, as the case may be, the date of such judgment or decree and ending on the date upon which the obligation of such Seller, such Servicer, the Parent or the
Subordinated VLN Facility Provider to pay such sum (the balance thereof for the time being

unpaid being herein referred to as an unpaid sum) is discharged shall be divided into successive periods, each of which (other than the first) shall start on the last day of the preceding such
period and the duration of each of which shall be selected by the person to whom such sum is payable. 
 7.2 During each such period relating
thereto as is mentioned in Clause 7.1 an unpaid sum shall bear interest at the rate per annum which is the sum of two per cent. and the European Interbank offered rate for deposits in EUR for the period for which such rate is to be determined which
appears on Bloomberg page “EBF” or such other page as may replace page “EBF” at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the date upon which quotations would ordinarily be given by prime banks in the European Interbank Market for
deposits in EUR or such other currency as such unpaid sum may be denominated for such period provided that, if, for any such period, no such offered rate appears on the said Reuters screen, the rate of interest applicable to such unpaid sum shall be
the rate per annum at which Citibank N.A., London Branch was offering to prime banks in the European Interbank Market deposits in the currency in which such unpaid sum is denominated for the period for which such rate is to be determined.

 7.3 Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 7.2 in respect of an unpaid sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the
applicable Seller, the applicable Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be) at the end of the period by reference to which it is calculated or on such other dates as the Person to whom such sum is owed may
specify by written notice to the applicable Seller, the applicable Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be). 
 7.4 If the Issuer fails to pay when due any amount payable to an Affected Person under the Variable Funding Agreement or a Note, then interest shall be payable on such amount on the terms and subject to
clause 15 of the Variable Funding Agreement.

	(d)	any audit by any such party and/ or any relevant auditors in relation to transaction cash flows, the performance of the Purchased Receivables, Collections and
procedures relating to Collections, and 

  

	(e)	any currency redenomination solely as a result of a country ceasing to use euro as its currency, 

 and (for the avoidance of doubt) BSM and LCN shall pay to the Master Purchaser and each Note Purchaser, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder or the Funding Agent, as appropriate, such amount as shall
represent any value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties associated with such costs, fees and expenses (if any) howsoever charged to, or suffered by the Master Purchaser, each Note Purchaser, the Security Trustee, each
Noteholder or the Funding Agent). 
 Fees general 
 8.2 All invoices submitted to BSM under this Clause 8 shall be in reasonable detail, provided that invoices with respect to any audits performed pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents shall be in a
form that is consistent with market practice (and the Funding Agent will give BSM prior notice of any quotes it receives as to the costs and expenses of such audits). 
 8.3 If BSM does not pay any of the fees referred to in this Clause 8, the Master Purchaser hereby undertakes that it shall pay such fees in accordance with Clause 8 to the Funding Agent to the extent that
they have not been paid by BSM.

may be subject or give rise and BSM and LCN shall fully indemnify on a joint and several basis the Master Purchaser, each Note Purchaser, the Security
Trustee, each Noteholder and the Funding Agent, on an after-Tax basis, from and against any losses or liabilities which any of them may properly incur or otherwise suffer as a result of any delay in paying or omission to pay such duties, levies,
fees or taxes (other than any Tax on the net income of the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, each Note Purchaser and the Funding Agent). 
 Value Added and Sales Tax 
 8.6 Any amounts stated in any Transaction Document to be
payable, or payable in connection with any Transaction Document, by a Seller, the Master Servicer, any other Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider are exclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar
taxes or duties and accordingly, to the extent that any such taxes arise in respect of such payments, such Seller, such Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be) shall, in addition, pay any amount properly
charged in respect of any such taxes or duties. 
 8.7 Any amounts stated in any Transaction Document to be payable by the Master Purchaser, the
Security Trustee, the Funding Agent and any Noteholder are unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document inclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties. 

Grossing Up 
  

	8.8 (a) 	All payments made by each Seller, any Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider to the Master Purchaser, each Note Purchaser,
the Security Trustee, each Noteholder and the Funding Agent under or in connection with any Transaction Document shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (or otherwise) unless the deduction or withholding is
required by law in which event such Seller, such Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider shall: 

  

	 	(i)	ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; and 


 

	 	(ii)	forthwith pay to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the relevant Noteholder and/or, as the case may be, the Funding Agent such additional amount (other than
any Tax on the net profit of the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the relevant Noteholder or the Funding Agent) so that the net amount received by the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the Security
Trustee, the relevant Noteholder or the Funding Agent as the case may be, will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made. 


 

	(b)	BSM and LCN hereby undertake jointly and severally to indemnify the Master Purchaser, each Note Purchaser, the Security Trustee and each Noteholder, in respect of any
withholding or deduction on account of Tax on the payment of any amount due in respect of any Purchased Receivable or otherwise due under any Transaction Document such that the Master Purchaser, each Note Purchaser, each Note Purchaser, the Security
Trustee and each Noteholder, as the case may be, receives the same amount that it would have received had there been no such withholding or deduction. 


  
 Page 77








 Execution version 

 
  

	(c)	All payments made to a Seller, a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider by the Master Purchaser, any Note Purchaser, any
Noteholder or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent under or in connection with any Transaction Document shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (or otherwise) unless the deduction or
withholding is required by law in which event the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, Noteholder or the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be shall ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum
amount legally required. For the avoidance of doubt, save as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document none of the Master Purchaser, any Note Purchaser, any Noteholder or the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent shall be obliged to
gross up any such payment following any such deduction or withholding. 

 Tax Credits 

8.9 If a Seller, any Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider pays any additional amount (an Additional
Payment) under Clause 8.8 and the Master Purchaser, a Note Purchaser, the Security Trustee, a Noteholder or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, effectively obtains a refund of Tax or credit against Tax on its overall net income by reason
of that Additional Payment (a Tax Credit) and the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, is able to identify such Tax Credit as being
attributable to such Additional Payment, then the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse such Seller, such Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the Parent or such Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be) such amount as the Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall determine to
be the proportion of such Tax Credit as will leave it, after that reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if that Additional Payment had not been required. The Master Purchaser, the relevant Note Purchaser, the
relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to claim any Tax Credit and, if it does so claim, shall have absolute discretion as to the extent, order and manner in which it does so
but shall in no circumstances be liable to any Seller, any Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider for not doing so. 
 After Tax Amount 
 8.10 In the event that any taxing authority seeks to charge or Tax any
sum paid to the Master Purchaser, a Note Purchaser, a Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent as a result of the indemnities contained herein then the amount so payable shall be grossed up by such amount as will ensure that after
payment of the Tax so charged (and taking account of the Tax effect of any loss giving rise to the right to such an indemnity) there shall be left a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under such indemnity or obligation.

 9. WAIVERS; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE 
 9.1 No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document to which it is a party or available at law shall impair such right, power or remedy
or operate as a waiver thereof. The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Deed or any Transaction Document to which it is a party or at law shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy under this Deed or any Transaction Document to which it is a party or at law. 

  
 Page 78








 Execution version 

 
 9.2 The rights of any party to any Transaction Document shall not be capable

9.3 The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Deed and any Transaction Document to which it is a party are cumulative and may be exercised as
often as they are considered appropriate and are in addition to any rights and remedies provided by law.

 No amendment, modification or variation of any or all of the Transaction Documents shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties to the relevant Transaction Document to be so modified or varied or initialled for identification on behalf of such parties or in such other form as may be agreed by
the parties to the relevant Transaction Document for the purposes of minimising or avoiding any liability to stamp tax. 
 11.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT 
 Each and every Transaction Document sets out the entire agreement and understanding between
the parties in respect of the subject matter of the agreements contained therein and supersedes any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter therein. It is agreed that: 

 

	(a)	no party has entered into any Transaction Document in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking of any other party which is not expressly set out or
referred to in any such Transaction Document; 

  

	(b)	except for breach of an express representation or warranty under any Transaction Document no party shall have any claim or remedy under any of the Transaction Documents
in respect of misrepresentation (whether negligent or otherwise, and whether made prior to or at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents) or untrue statement made by any other party; 


 

	(c)	this Clause shall not exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

	(b)	following the application of funds following enforcement of the security interests created under the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge, subject to and in accordance with
the Master Purchaser Post-Enforcement Priorities of Payments, the Issuer will have no assets available for payment of its obligations under this Agreement, any Note, the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge and the other Transaction Documents other than

necessary to pay the matured and maturing notes of such Conduit Purchaser (or such Conduit Purchaser’s related issuing entity). 
 14.3
This Clause 14 shall survive the termination of this Deed.

troubles causing cessation, slow down or interruption of work, or due to any other cause whether of the kind hereinbefore mentioned or not, to the extent that it is beyond the reasonable foresight and control of the party concerned.

Severability 
 16.3 Any provision of any
Transaction Document or this Deed which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby waives any provision of
law but only to the extent permitted by law which renders any provision of any Transaction Document prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 

No Set Off 
 16.4 Except as otherwise
provided in the Transaction Documents and subject to Clause 16.5, all payments required to be made under the Transaction Documents shall be calculated without reference to any set-off or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without

	(q)	Contract: The Contract underlying the Receivable has not been extended, rewritten or otherwise modified for credit related reasons from the original terms
thereof other than any modifications for the purpose of protecting the interest of the Master Purchaser or except as permitted by the relevant Seller Credit and Collection Procedures. The Contract underlying the Receivable does not contain any
confidentiality provisions which may prejudice the sale or enforcement or collectability of the Receivable and/or the Related Security or the creation or enforceability of a first priority security interest therein; 


 

	(r)	Non-interest bearing: The Receivable is a non-interest bearing obligation other than in respect of interest charged for late payment; 


 

	(s)	Credit and Collection Procedures: Any credit given in respect of the Receivable constitutes normal payment extension only and was granted in conformity with the
relevant Seller Credit and Collection Procedures; 

  

	(t)	Unsecured: The Receivable is unsecured other than by way of retention of title; 


 

	(u)	No bill of exchange or promissory note: The Receivable is not represented by a bill of exchange or promissory note or similar document due delivery of which is
required to achieve a true sale or endorsement of such Receivable;

	(w)	Unbilled Receivables: if the Receivable is an Unbilled Receivable, at the time of transfer the aggregate EUR Equivalent Outstanding Balance of Unbilled
Receivables (calculated as if the Unbilled Receivables had been included in the EUR Equivalent Outstanding Balance of all Purchased Receivables) does not exceed 35% of the aggregate EUR Equivalent Outstanding Balance of the Receivables Pool less the
aggregate of all Dilutions (with any such excess constituting Excess Unbilled Receivables); 

  

	(x)	Concentration limit: the aggregate EUR Equivalent Outstanding Balance of: 


 

	 	(i)	the Receivables owed by the same Obligor and which remain outstanding, may not exceed two per cent. of the Net Receivables Pool Balance (the Normal Concentration
Limit) or such other higher percentage for such Obligor designated in Schedule 6 hereto (a Special Concentration Limit), provided that affiliated Obligors shall be treated as if they were one Obligor; and


  

	 	(ii)	the Receivables owed by Obligors domiciled in Italy or Spain may not exceed 40 per cent. of the Outstanding Balance of all Purchased Receivables.


 The Funding Agent may, at its sole discretion (for instance, as a result of a deterioration in the credit
worthiness of an Obligor) reduce or cancel a Special Concentration Limit upon three Business Days’ notice to the Sellers with a copy to the Master Purchaser; 
  

	(y)	Performance of obligations: The Seller has satisfied and fully performed all obligations with respect to such Receivable required to be fulfilled by it other
than customary warranty obligations, and no further action (other than, in the case of an Unbilled Receivable, the processing and mailing of an invoice) is required to be performed by any person with respect thereto other than payment thereon by the
applicable Obligor; 

  

	(z)	Payment of Collections: 

  

	 	(i)	The relevant Obligor has been given instructions to pay amounts due in respect of a Receivable directly into a Master Purchaser Account and either the relevant Obligor
has made at least one payment in respect of a Purchased Receivable directly into such an account of the Master Purchaser or has provided written confirmation that it shall make payment in respect of the relevant Purchased Receivable directly into
such an account. 

  

	 	(ii)	At or prior to the time of purchase, the Funding Agent may choose to exclude any Receivable from any Obligor for bona fide credit reasons; and 


 

	(aa)	Delivering Invoices: if the Receivable is an Unbilled Receivable, an Invoice must be delivered to the relevant Obligor in the name of the Master Purchaser by the
end of the Determination Period immediately succeeding the Determination Period in which such Unbilled Receivable had been purchased.
