                                         in the maturing Loan and that Lender will not be required to make its participation in

                                         its participation in the new Loans available in cash in accordance with Clause 27.1 (Payments
                                         to the Facility Agent only to the extent that its participation (if any) in the
                                         new Loans exceeds that Lender’s participation (if any) in the maturing Loan and
                                         the remainder of that Lender’s



 




    	- 23 -



    	 



    

  


participation in the new Loans
shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation
in the maturing Loan.


 


		(c)	At any time when a Lender becomes
                                         a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in
                                         the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date and

SECTION 5


COSTS OF UTILISATION


 


		8.	INTEREST



 


		8.1	Calculation of interest



 


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


 


		(a)	Margin; and



 


		(b)	LIBOR.



 


		8.2	Payment of interest



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and,
if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest
Period).



 


		(b)	If the Compliance Certificate received by the Facility Agent which relates to the relevant Annual
Financial Statements shows that a higher or lower Margin should have applied during a certain period, then the interest payment
to be made on the last day of the then current Interest Period shall be increased or reduced by any amounts necessary to put the
Facility Agent and the Lenders or the Borrower (as the case may be) in the position which they should have been in had the correct
Margin been applied during the relevant Interest Period.



 


		8.3	Default interest



 


		(a)	If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date,
interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment)
at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue
amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest
Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall
be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.



 


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



 


		(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired
portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and



 


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



 




    	- 29 -



    	 



    

  


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



 


		8.4	Notification of rates of interest



 


The Facility Agent shall promptly
notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.


 


		9.	INTEREST PERIODS



 


		9.1	Selection of Interest Periods



 


The Borrower may select an Interest
Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan.


 


		(a)	Subject to this Clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of one, three or six Months
or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders).



 


		(b)	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.



 


		(c)	Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date for that Loan.



 


		(d)	A Loan has one Interest Period only.



 


		9.2	Non-Business Days



 


If an Interest Period would otherwise
end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month
(if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).


 


		10.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST



 


		10.1	Absence of quotations



 


Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market
disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation
by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference
Banks.


 


		10.2	Market disruption



 


		(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate
of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the
sum of:



 


		(i)	the Margin; and



 


		(ii)	the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event
before interest is due to be paid in respect



 




    	- 30 -



    	 



    

  


of that Interest Period, to be
that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever
source it may reasonably select.


 


		(b)	In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means:



 


		(i)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available
and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant currency
and Interest Period; or



 


		(ii)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility
Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Loan) that the
cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.



 


		10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding



 


		(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility
Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute
basis for determining the rate of interest.



 


		(b)	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant
                                         to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower,
                                         be binding on all Parties, provided, however, that if no alternative basis is agreed
                                         pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the rate of interest notified pursuant to Clause 10.2(a)(ii)
                                         (Market disruption) shall continue to apply.



 


		10.4	Break Costs



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall, within five Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance
Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the
last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.



 


		(b)	Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide
a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.



 


		11.	FEES



 


		11.1	Commitment fee



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each Lender) a fee in dollars
on that Lender’s Available Commitment for the Availability Period, such fee to be calculated:



 


		(i)	prior to the first reset date (as defined below), at the rate of 0.375 per cent.; and

		(a)	In this Agreement:



 


“Protected Party”
means a Finance Party which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on account of Tax
in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance
Document.


 


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


 


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


 


“Tax Payment” means
either the increase in a payment made by the Borrower to a Finance Party under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment
under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity).


 


		(b)	Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 12 a reference to “determines”
or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.



 


		12.2	Tax gross-up



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction
is required by law.



 


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



 


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



 


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



 


		(e)	Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with
that Tax Deduction, the Borrower making that Tax



 




    	- 33 -



    	 



    

  


Deduction shall deliver to the
Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax
Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.


 


		12.3	Tax indemnity



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected
Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly)
suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.



 


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



 


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



 


		(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



 


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



 


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


 


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



 


		(A)	is compensated for by an increased
                                         payment under Clause 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 shall promptly
notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall
notify the Borrower.



 


		(d)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause 12.3, notify
the Facility Agent.



 


		12.4	Tax Credit



 


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


 


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



 




    	- 34 -



    	 



    

  


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



 


the Finance Party shall pay an
amount to the Borrower 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 Borrower.


 


		12.5	Stamp taxes



 


The Borrower shall pay and, within
five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation
to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document, provided that this Clause 12.5
shall not apply in respect of any stamp duty registration and other similar Taxes which are payable in respect of an assignment,
transfer or other alienation of any kind by a Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under a Finance Document.


 


		12.6	VAT



 


		(a)	All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which
(in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which
is chargeable on that supply and, accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made
by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority
for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for
such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice
to that Party).



 


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



 


		(i)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT)
the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount
of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this 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



 




    	- 35 -



    	 



    

  


the Recipient reasonably determines
that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.


 


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



 


		(d)	Any reference in this Clause 12.6 to any Party shall, at any time when such 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 such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the
Value Added Tax Act 1994).



 


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



 


		12.7	FATCA 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 Borrower, the Facility Agent and the other Finance Parties.

or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application
of) any law or regulation; (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; or (iii) the implementation
or application of, or compliance with, Basel III or any law or regulation that implements or applies Basel III.

overall capital including, without limitation, as a result of any reduction in the rate of return on capital brought about by more

		(B)	an additional or increased cost; or



 


		(C)	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

                                         a claim pursuant to Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Facility Agent
                                         of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall promptly

		(a)	Clause 13.1 (Increased costs)
                                         does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

                                         Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably

		(a)	any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central
bank; and



 


		(b)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to
any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for
those obligations or securities,

or Security shall:


 


		(i)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary
of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

22.6 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is
not on the last day of an Interest Period):


 


		(a)	any interest or fees in respect
                                         of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse
                                         of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding
                                         the Transfer Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due
                                         and payable to the Existing Lender (without



 




    	- 68 -



    	 



    

  


further interest accruing on them)
on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates
which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and


 


		(b)	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the
avoidance of doubt:



 


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



 


		(ii)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application

Majority Lenders) replace the Facility Agent by appointing a successor Facility Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).



 


		(b)	The retiring Facility Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at
the expense of the Lenders) make available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance

                                         Lenders to the retiring Facility Agent. As from this date, the retiring Facility Agent
                                         shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other
                                         than its obligations under paragraph (b) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit
                                         of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent) and this Clause 24 (and any agency
                                         fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall
                                         be payable on) that date).



 


		(d)	Any successor Facility Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations
amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

		24.13	Confidentiality



 


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

as confidential to that division or department and the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.



 


		24.14	Relationship with the Lenders



 


		(a)	Subject to Clause 22.9 (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 upon 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’ prior notice from that Lender to
the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



 


		(b)	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.

                                         receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if
                                         any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification
                                         of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer
                                         by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 29.2 (Addresses) and paragraph (a)(ii)
                                         of Clause 29.5 (Electronic communication) and the Facility Agent shall be 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.



 


		24.15	Credit appraisal by the Lenders



 


			Without affecting the responsibility of
                                         the Borrower for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance
                                         Document, each Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Arranger that it has been,
                                         and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal

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; and



 


		(d)	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information
provided by the Facility Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions

of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.



 


		24.16	Reference Banks

ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent shall (in consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender to replace that Reference Bank.



 


		24.17	Facility Agent’s Management Time



 


			Any amount payable to the Facility Agent
                                         under Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent), Clause 16
                                         (Costs and expenses) and Clause 24.10 (Lenders’ indemnity
                                         to the Facility Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Facility Agent’s
                                         management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable

                                         and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Facility Agent under Clause 11 (Fees).



 


		24.18	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 shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

		26.	SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES



 


		26.1	Payments to Finance Parties



 


			If a Finance Party (a “Recovering
                                         Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other
                                         than in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”)
                                         and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:



 


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



 


		(b)	the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the
Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed
in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility
Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and



 


		(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall,
                                         within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent
                                         an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or
                                         recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering
                                         Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 27.6
                                         (Partial payments).



 


		26.2	Redistribution of payments



 


			The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing
                                         Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance
                                         Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”)
                                         in accordance with Clause 27.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of the
                                         Borrower to the Sharing Finance Parties.



 


		26.3	Recovering Finance Party’s rights



 


			On a distribution by the Facility Agent
                                         under Clause 26.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering
                                         Finance Party from the Borrower, as between the v and the Recovering Finance Party, an
                                         amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having
                                         been paid by the Borrower.



 




    	- 79 -



    	 



    

 


		26.4	Reversal of redistribution



 


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



 


		(a)	each Sharing Finance Party shall,
                                         upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that
                                         Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the
                                         Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering
                                         Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering
                                         Finance Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”);
                                         and



 


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



 


		26.5	Exceptions



 


		(a)	This Clause 26 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after
making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.



 


		(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.

		27.	PAYMENT MECHANICS



 


		27.1	Payments to the Facility Agent



 


		(a)	On each date on which the Borrower or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document,
the Borrower or Lender shall make the same 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 as being customary at the time for settlement
of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.



 


		(b)	Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that
currency with such bank as the Facility Agent specifies.



 


		27.2	Distributions by the Facility Agent



 


			Each payment received by the Facility
                                         Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 27.3
                                         (Distributions to the Borrower) and Clause 27.4 (Clawback) be
                                         made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt 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), to such account as that Party may notify to
                                         the Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the
                                         principal financial centre of the country of that currency.



 


		27.3	Distributions to the Borrower



 


			The Facility Agent may (with the consent
                                         of the Borrower or in accordance with Clause 28 (Set-off))
                                         apply any amount received by it for the Borrower in or towards payment (on the
                                         date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from the Borrower under
                                         the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so
                                         applied.



 


		27.4	Clawback



 


		(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)	Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it
proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the
proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent
together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the
Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.



 




    	- 81 -



    	 



    

 


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



 


		(i)	the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower of that Lender’s identity and the Borrower shall
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 Borrower, shall 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.



 


		27.5	Impaired Agent



 


		(a)	If, at any time, the Facility Agent
                                         becomes an Impaired Agent, the Borrower or a Lender which is required to make a payment
                                         under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 27.1 (Payments
                                         to the Facility Agent) may instead either:



 


		(i)	pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s); or



 


		(ii)	if in its absolute discretion it
                                         considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required
                                         recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing
                                         account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition
                                         of “Acceptable Bank” and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred
                                         and is continuing, in the name of the Borrower or the Lender making the payment (the
                                         “Paying Party”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit
                                         of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents
                                         (the “Recipient Party” or “Recipient Parties”).



 


			In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.



 


		(b)	All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the
benefit of the Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.



 


		(c)	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 27.5 shall be discharged of the
relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing
to the credit of the trust account.



 


		(d)	Promptly upon the appointment of
                                         a successor Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 24.12 (Replacement of the Facility
                                         Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given
                                         an instruction pursuant



 




    	- 82 -



    	 



    

 


			to paragraph (e) below) give all requisite
                                         instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together
                                         with any accrued interest) to the successor Facility Agent for distribution to the relevant
                                         Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 27.2 (Distributions
                                         by the Facility Agent).



 


		(e)	A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:



 


		(i)	that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and



 


		(ii)	that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party, 



 


give all requisite
instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest)
to that Recipient Party.


 


		27.6	Partial payments



 


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



 


		(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility
Agent under the Finance Documents;



 


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



 


		(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal 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 shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs
(a)(ii) to (iv) above.



 


		(c)	Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by the Borrower.



 


		27.7	No set-off by the Borrower
