TAXES 
 Payment without withholding 
 13.1 All sums payable to a Qualifying Noteholder shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of any Irish tax. 

13.2 All sums payable to a Noteholder in respect of any Note and all other sums payable by the Issuer to any person party to this Agreement in any
capacity (each such Noteholder and each such person a Tax Affected Person) shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Tax unless the Issuer is required by law to make such a payment
subject to the withholding or deduction of Tax, in which case, the sum payable by the Issuer in respect of which such withholding or deduction is required to be made shall, subject to Clause 13.6 (unless the relevant Noteholder shall have been
indemnified by the relevant Seller in respect of such deduction or withholding pursuant to clause 8.10 of the Framework Deed), be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such withholding or deduction, the relevant Tax
Affected Person (subject to, in the case of payment by the Issuer, the relevant Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments), receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which
it would have received and so retained had no such withholding or deduction been made or required to be made. No sum payable by the Issuer shall be increased under this Clause 14.2 where the sum is payable in respect of interest on a Note and on the
relevant Interest Payment Date the Tax Affected Person is a Noteholder that is not a Qualifying Noteholder. 
 Notice of obligation to
withhold 
 13.3 If, at any time, the Issuer is required by law to make any withholding or deduction from any sum payable by it in respect of
any Note or under this Agreement, (or if thereafter there is any change in the rate at which or the manner in which such withholding or deduction is calculated), the Issuer shall promptly notify the Noteholder. 

Payment of withholding 
 13.4 If the
Issuer makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is required to make any withholding or deduction of Tax, it shall pay the full amount required to be withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed
for payment to the applicable authority. An original receipt (or a certified copy thereof) issued by such authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Affected Person shall be evidence of the payment to such authority of all
amounts so required to be withheld or deducted in respect of such payment and the Issuer shall deliver such receipt to such Tax Affected Person within thirty days after it has made such payment or when such receipt is available (whichever is later).

 Reimbursement of Tax Credit 

13.5 If and to the extent that the Issuer pays any additional amount under Clause 13.1 in respect of any Tax and the relevant Tax Affected Person
receives and retains the benefit of a refund of Tax or credit or other relief against Tax otherwise payable by it which is attributable to such Tax (a Tax Credit), that Tax Affected Person shall, to the extent it can do so without
prejudice to the retention of the amount of the credit, reimburse to the Issuer such amount as it shall at its own absolute discretion, acting reasonably, determine will leave that Tax Affected Person after that reimbursement, in no better or worse
position than it would have been if payment of the relevant additional amount had not been required (taking account of any interest paid or credited in respect of the Tax). The relevant Tax Affected Person shall make reasonable efforts to identify
any available Tax Credits, but shall not be under any obligation to make such claim and, if it does so claim, it shall have absolute discretion as to the extent, order and manner in which it does so and in which refunds, reliefs and credits are to
be regarded as used for these purposes. The relevant Tax Affected Person shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Issuer and its certificate as to the amount to be reimbursed shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive. 
 After Tax amount 
 13.6 In the event that any taxing authority seeks to charge to Tax any sum paid to a Tax Affected Person (other than any Tax assessed on the Noteholder under the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation
of the relevant Tax Affected Person or of the jurisdiction of the office through which the relevant Tax Affected Person is acting in connection with this Agreement 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 the relevant Tax Affected Person) as a result of the indemnities or other obligations contained in this Agreement or the relevant Note then the amount so payable shall be grossed up
by such amount as will ensure that after payment of the Tax so charged there shall be left a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under such indemnity or obligation. 
 Duties and taxes 
 13.7 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction
Document other than as set out in Condition 2.6 the Issuer agrees with each Note Purchaser, each Noteholder and each other Affected Person that it shall pay any stamp, documentary, transfer, excise, registration, filing and other similar duties,
levies, fees or other similar taxes to which: 
  

	(a)	this Agreement, a Note or any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or a Note; or 


  
 Page 19








 Execution version 

 
  

	(b)	the enforcement of the rights of each Note Purchaser, each Noteholder and each other Affected Person under this Agreement or Note, 


may be subject or give rise and the Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priority of Payments, shall fully indemnify each Note Purchaser,
each Noteholder and each other Affected Person, on a joint and several and 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. 
 Value added tax and sales tax 
 13.8 Any amounts stated in this Agreement or a Note to be payable, or payable in connection with this Agreement or a Note, by the Issuer (the Payment Amounts) are exclusive of value added
tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties arising under the laws of any Relevant Jurisdiction and accordingly, to the extent that any such taxes arise in respect of any such payments under the laws of such jurisdictions, the
Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, shall, in addition, pay any amount properly charged in respect of any such taxes or duties. For the avoidance of doubt, Payment Amounts are inclusive of value added tax,
sales tax, purchase tax or any similar taxes or duties arising under the laws of any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Jurisdiction, the Issuer shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts in respect of such taxes and duties under the laws of
such other jurisdictions. 
 14. DEFAULT INTEREST 
 If the Issuer fails to pay any sum payable by it to any Affected Person under this Agreement or a Note when due, the Issuer shall pay interest on such sum to the relevant party from the date when it
became due and payable to the date of payment at the Default Rate as from time to time applicable (both before and after any judgment obtained under the relevant Transaction Document). 
 15. COSTS AND EXPENSES 
 15.1 Without prejudice
to the provisions of any other Transaction Document, to the extent that the same have not been satisfied in full by the relevant Seller pursuant to clause 8.1 of the Framework Deed, the Issuer hereby agrees (without double counting and duplication)
from time to time to indemnify each Indemnified Party on a full after Tax basis all costs, claims, fees, liabilities, losses and damages and expenses (including, without limitation, all properly documented out of pocket fees or disbursements of one
law firm for each applicable jurisdiction for all the Indemnified Parties taken as a whole, including VAT) suffered or otherwise incurred (provided that, in the case of paragraphs (a), (c) and (d) below such costs, fees and expenses are
reasonably incurred) by any Indemnified Party in connection with: 
  

	(a)	any variation, consent or approval, or any steps taken with a view to any variation, consent or approval, in each case relating to or in connection with any of the
Transaction Documents or any related document which was requested by or required by a Seller, a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Parent or a Subordinated VLN Facility Provider;

associated with such costs, fees and expenses (if any) howsoever charged to, or suffered by such Indemnified Party. 
 16.
INDEMNITY FOR OTHER AMOUNTS 
 Break Costs indemnity 

16.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction Document, to the extent that the same have not been satisfied in full by the relevant
Seller pursuant to clause 5.1 of the Intercreditor and Indemnity Deed, the Issuer hereby agrees from time to time to indemnify (without double counting and duplication) each Affected Person for, and to pay to it on demand, an amount equal to:

  

	(a)	any costs, increased costs, broken funding costs or reduced rates of return incurred or suffered directly or indirectly by such Affected Person as a result of any
amount being paid in respect of a Note other than on a Settlement Date; and 

  

	(b)	any additional or termination cost payable to the provider of any swap, cap, collar, floor or other hedging arrangement entered into by such Affected Person in
connection with the Variable Funding Agreement or any advance or payment made thereunder (together, Break Costs) provided that such Break Costs have not arisen as a direct result of the negligence, default or recklessness of such
Affected Person. 

 If such Affected Person is obliged to make any payment of Break Costs then it shall in good faith use
reasonable endeavours to take such reasonable steps as may reasonably be open to it to mitigate or avoid the effects of such payment of Break Costs.

 Increased costs indemnity 

16.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction Document, to the extent that the same have not been satisfied in full by the relevant

	(a)	increasing the cost to such Affected Person with respect to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related credit or liquidity support agreement,
including, without limitation, the ownership, maintenance or financing of any interest in a Note or the Receivables Pool or payments of amounts due hereunder or thereunder, any funding hereunder or under any related credit or liquidity support
agreement, the obligation to advance funds hereunder or any related credit or liquidity support agreement, or the fees or interest charged to it hereunder or thereunder; or 


 

	(b)	reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or assets (or on the capital or assets of such Affected Person’s holding company) as a
consequence of such Affected Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any related credit or liquidity support agreement, to a level below that which such party could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change
or Accounting Change (taking into consideration the policies of such party with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity coverage), 

 the Issuer hereby agrees from time to time to indemnify (without double counting and duplication) each Affected Person, as the case may be, on an after tax basis in full in respect of such increased cost
or reduction in return. 
 16.3 Upon demand by the Funding Agent, the Issuer shall pay to the Funding Agent, for the benefit of the relevant
Affected Person, such amounts as such Affected Person reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse (without double counting or duplication) such Affected Person for:

	(b)	reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person; or

or any portion of the assets and liabilities of a Conduit Purchaser that are subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of an Affected Person, whether such consolidation occurs
prior to or after the 2013 Closing Date.

 16.4 Clause 16.2 does not apply to the extent any increased cost or reduction
in rate of return and Clause 16.3 does not apply to the extent any fee, expense, increased, cost, reduction in rate of return, internal capital charge or other imputed cost is: 

 

	(a)	attributable to any withholding or deduction in respect of Tax required to be made by the Issuer pursuant to Clause 13.2;

 16.5 An Affected Person may not recover an increased cost or reduction in rate of return in respect of Basel III under Clauses 16.2 and 16.3 from the Issuer unless that Affected Person provides a
certificate to the Issuer confirming that its policy is to seek to recover such increased costs or reductions in rate of return to a similar extent from other similar persons in relation to similar transactions, in such form and manner as it may
deem appropriate from case to case. For these purposes, a written and duly signed statement by an Affected Person giving the required confirmations will be sufficient evidence and an Affected Person will not be required to provide any further
evidence or otherwise to substantiate its policy concerning such increased costs or reductions in rate of return. 
 16.6 Subject to the
applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, the Issuer shall pay each Affected Person within 30 Business Days of demand by the Affected Person, such amount payable under Clause 16.1, 16.2 and Clause 16.3, as stated in a certificate of the
Affected Person accompanying its demand, setting out the amount of such increased cost or reduction in return (which certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes). 

Currency indemnity 
 16.7 If any sum due
from the Issuer in respect of a Note or under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation to any such sum has to be converted from the currency (the first currency) in which the same is payable hereunder or under

	(a)	making or filing a claim or proof against the Issuer; 

  

	(b)	obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal; or

 the Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, shall indemnify, on an after Tax basis, and hold harmless each Note Purchaser, each Noteholder and any other Affected Person
from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange
at which the Note Purchaser or the Noteholder or such other Affected Person may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any
such order, judgment, claim or proof.

pursuant to, Clause 16.2 to Clause 16.8, and shall exercise whatever rights it has to require an Affected Person to so mitigate, provided that this sentence does not in any way limit the obligations of the Issuer under Clause 16.2 to Clause 16.8.

 17. ILLEGALITY AND MITIGATION 
 17.1 If at any time it becomes unlawful in any relevant jurisdiction for a Note Purchaser or a Noteholder to give effect to any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to maintain, make,
