Any interest accruing under this Clause11.3shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(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.

|**13.3** | **Alternative basis of interest or funding**

**SECTION 7** **GUARANTEE**






|**20.** | **GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY******
|------- | -------------------------------



|**20.1** | **Guarantee and indemnity******
|-------- | -------------------------------

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:




|(a) | guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all that Borrower's obligations under the Finance Documents;
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal. The amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|**20.2** | **Continuing guarantee**
|-------- | ------------------------

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.




|**20.3** | **Reinstatement**
|-------- | -----------------

If any payment by an Obligor or any discharge given by a Finance Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:




|(a) | the liability of each Obligor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | each Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Obligor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|**20.4** | **Waiver of defences**
|-------- | ----------------------

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 20 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 20 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:




|(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 with any creditor of any member of the Group;
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



38


|(e) | any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security;
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(f) | any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(g) | any insolvency or similar proceedings.
|--- | --------------------------------------



|**20.5** | **Immediate recourse**
|-------- | ----------------------

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




|**20.6** | **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 the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; 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 Clause20.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|**20.7** | **Deferral of Guarantors' rights**
|-------- | ----------------------------------

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 and unless the 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:




|(a) | to be indemnified by an Obligor;
|--- | --------------------------------



|(b) | to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents; and/or
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | 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.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|**20.8** | **Release of Guarantors' right of contribution**
|-------- | ------------------------------------------------

If any Guarantor (a " **Retiring Guarantor** ") ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other 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.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



39


|**20.9** | **Additional security**
|-------- | -----------------------

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.




|**20.10** | **Limitation on U.S. Guarantors**
|--------- | ---------------------------------

Any term or provision of this Clause 20 or any other term in this Agreement or any Finance Document notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations for which any U.S. Guarantor shall be liable under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such U.S. Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement, subject to avoidance under U.S. Bankruptcy law or to being set aside, avoided or annulled under other applicable United States federal or state fraudulent conveyance laws.




|**20.11** | **Maintenance of liable capital**
|--------- | ---------------------------------

|(a) | In this Clause "**German Guarantor**" means any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Germany.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | To the extent the guarantee referred to in this Clause 20 secures any of the obligations of an affiliated company (*verbundenes Unternehmen*) of a German Guarantor (which is constituted in the form of a GmbH) within the meaning of §15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (*Aktiengesetz*) (other than a German Guarantor's Subsidiaries), the enforcement of the guarantee shall be, at all times, limited to the extent that such enforcement would lead to the relevant German Guarantor
not retaining sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital (*Stammkapital*) provided that the enforcement limitations set out in this Clause 20.11 shall not apply in relation to any amounts borrowed by a Borrower under this Agreement for so long and to the extent on-lent to a German Guarantor or any Subsidiary from time to time of the relevant German Guarantor.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | Within 15 Business Days following the demand against a German Guarantor under the guarantee granted in this Clause 20 by the Agent, the managing director(s) on behalf of such German Guarantor shall confirm in writing to the Agent which amount of the guarantee cannot be enforced as this would lead to such German Guarantor not retaining sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital and such confirmation is to be supported by a reasonably detailed calculation (the "**Management Determination**"). If the Agent disagrees with the Management Determination, the Agent may request the German Guarantor to provide a reasonably detailed determination by auditors of international
standard and reputation of the amount enforceable under the guarantee (the "**Auditor's Determination**"). If the relevant German Guarantor does not provide such Auditor's Determination within 60 days from the date of the Agent's respective request, the Agent shall be entitled to engage at the German Guarantor's expense a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation to prepare such Auditor's Determination and the Agent shall give notice of such engagement to the relevant German Guarantor. The German Guarantor will grant access to its books and records as reasonably desired by such auditors for the purpose of preparing the Auditor's Determination.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | The value of the net assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in Germany (GAAP) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the German Guarantor when establishing the previous year's balance sheet.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(e) | Furthermore, if and to the extent legally permissible and commercially justifiable in respect of a German Guarantor's business, the relevant German Guarantor shall, in a situation where:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



40


|(i) | the relevant German Guarantor does not have sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital; and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | the enforcement of the guarantee granted under this Clause 20 would otherwise lead to the relevant German Guarantor not retaining sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital (*Stammkapital*),
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



realise any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value ( *Buchwert* ) which is significantly lower than the market value of the assets if such asset is not necessary for the relevant German Guarantor's business ( *betriebsnotwendig* ).




|(f) | In respect of a German Guarantor, each Obligor undertakes not to increase the registered share capital (*Stammkapital*) by way of a capital increase out of retained earnings (*Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln*) without the prior written consent of the Agent. The Company shall procure that no member of the Group makes such a capital increase out of retained earnings of the relevant German Guarantor. Each German Guarantor undertakes not to incur any loans or to enter
into any contractual liabilities in violation of the provisions of the Finance Documents.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(g) | None of the above restrictions shall apply to the extent this Agreement secures a German Guarantor's own obligations or obligations of such German Guarantor's Subsidiaries.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|**20.12** | **Limitations**
|--------- | ---------------

|(a) | This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of the Companies Act 1985.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | This guarantee does not include any amounts the guaranteeing of which would constitute the providing of unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of article 2:207(c) of the Dutch Civil Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the above carve-out for unlawful financial assistance included in this paragraph (b) only applies to the extent any amount guaranteed under this Clause20has been used for the purposes of a (re-)financing of the subscription of, paying up or acquisition of any of the shares (or depository receipts) in the Obligors incorporated in The Netherlands and/or in their (direct or indirect) parent companies.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | The obligations of each Guarantor incorporated in France (a "**French Guarantor**") under this Clause 20 (*Guarantee and Indemnity*) shall not extend to cover any amounts the guaranteeing of which would (a) breach the prohibition of financial assistance as defined in article L.225-216 of the French Commercial Code for the financing or refinancing of the acquisition or substitution of the shares of such French Guarantor, or (b) constitute a misuse of corporate assets
(*abus de bien social*) of such French Guarantor as defined in article L.242-46 of the French Commercial Code or any other regulation to the same effect.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | The obligations of any French Guarantor under this Clause 20 (*Guarantee and Indemnity*) shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the lesser of:
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(i) | (a) the obligations of any Subsidiary of that French Guarantor acting as Borrower under this Agreement; and (b) in relation to any Borrower (other than the Company or a Subsidiary of that French Guarantor) under this Agreement, an amount equal to any amount borrowed by that Borrower under this Agreement and on-lent by such Borrower to the French Guarantor under an intra-group loan; it being specified that the maximum amount for which such French Guarantor may be liable will be the amount outstanding and owed by it to the Borrower in respect of such intra-group loan; or
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



41


|(ii) | fifty per cent (50%) of the greater of the Net Asset Value:
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------



|(1) | calculated and certified by the statutory auditors on the basis of the last audited financial statements available at the date of this Agreement, and
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | calculated and certified by the statutory auditors on the basis of the most recent audited financial statements available at that time; or
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iii) | The maximum aggregate amount of EUR 1,400,000 in respect of Enodis France S.A. and for any other French Guarantor, such other amount designated as the maximum guarantee amount in the Accession Letter of such other French Guarantor.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For the purposes of this Clause 20 ( *Guarantee and Indemnity* ), " **Net Asset Value** " means the *capitaux propres* (as defined in article 22 of the French Decree no.
83-1020 of 29 November 1983).




For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that any French Guarantors or Guarantors are not acting jointly and severally and are not between themselves, " *co-débiteurs solidaires* " as to their obligations pursuant to the guarantees and indemnities given pursuant to this Clause 20 ( *Guarantee and Indemnity* ).

|(c) | The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

70


|**30.4** | **Reversal of redistribution**

required to pay); and

|------- | ---------------------------------



|**34.1** | **Accounts**

Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days or, in any case where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market differs, in accordance with that market practice.

For the purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada), any rate of interest made payable under the terms of this Agreement at a rate or percentage (the " **Contract Rate** ") for any period that is less than a consecutive 12 month period, such as a 360 or 365 day basis, (the " **Contract Rate Basis** ") is equivalent to the yearly rate or percentage of interest determined by multiplying the Contract Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the consecutive 12 month period commencing on the date such equivalent rate or percentage is being determined and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Contract Rate Basis.

If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.




|**36.** | **REMEDIES AND WAIVERS**
|------- | ------------------------

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall 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 this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

**SCHEDULE 4** **Mandatory Cost Formulae** ****




|1. | The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "**Additional Cost Rate**") for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(a) | in relation to a sterling Loan:
|--- | -------------------------------



AB + C(B - D) + E x 0.01


100- (A + C)   per cent. per annum






|(b) | in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------



E x 0.01


300 per cent. per annum.




Where:




A  is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.




B  is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 11.3 ( *Default interest* )) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.




C  is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.




D  is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.




E  is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.




|5. | For the purposes of this Schedule:
|-- | ----------------------------------



88


|(a) | "**Eligible Liabilities**" and "**Special Deposits**" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | "**Fees Rules**" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | "**Fee Tariffs**" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | "**Tariff Base**" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6. | In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8. | Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(a) | the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
|--- | --------------------------------------------



|(b) | any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.




|9. | The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10. | The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|11. | The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|12. | Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



89


|13. | The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
