 COSTS OF LOAN 
  

	12.	INTEREST 

  

	12.1	Calculation of Interest 

 The Agent shall calculate
the rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period which will be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of: 
  

	 	(a)	the Applicable Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	the greater of: 

  

	 	(i)	2 per cent. per annum; and

	 	(c)	Mandatory Costs, if any. 

  

	12.2	Payment of Interest

	 	(a)	If an Obligor 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 two 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 Agent (acting reasonably) (the “Post Default Rate of Interest”). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately
payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	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.

at the request of a Lender or the Borrower notify the requesting party of the determination of the rate of interest applicable to any Interest Period under this Agreement.

	13.1	Absence of quotations 

 Subject to Clause 13.2
(Market disruption), if LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation on or about 11:00 am on the Quotation Day, LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR
shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	13.2	Market disruption

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the Agent by each Lender of such Loan as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of the correct Interest Period in
respect of such Loan, 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; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in a Loan. 

  

	 	(b)	Promptly after determination of the rate of interest in relation to a Loan in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 13.2, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such rate of
interest whereupon the Borrower shall either: (i) proceed with the Loan at the rate of interest provided for in this Agreement; (ii) prepay the Loan in relation to which the rate of interest in paragraph (a) of Clause 13.2 was
determined; or (iii) revoke the Request for Borrowing in relation of which the rate of interest was determined in paragraph (a) of Clause 13.2. 

  

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

determine LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Lender determines in its discretion that before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for calculating interest the Agent receives notifications from a Lender that the
cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR, or if applicable, EURIBOR. 

  

	13.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding 

  

	 	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with
a view to agreeing to 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 the Agent and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties. 


 

 - 54 - 









	 	(c)	During the period of negotiations set forth in paragraph (a) above the rate of interest shall be either: 

  

	 	(i)	the rate of interest on such Loan during the last Interest Period preceding the Market Disruption Event; or 

  

	 	(ii)	if no interest rate existed in respect of such Loan prior to the Market Disruption Event then the rate of interest calculated in accordance with Clause 13.1 above.


 Following the determination of the rate of interest in accordance with paragraph (a) above such rate of interest shall
be deemed to be the rate of interest in respect of such Interest Period, replacing the default rate of interest stipulated under this paragraph (c) and the amount paid, or overpaid, by the Borrower to the Agent in respect of the difference
between the two such interest rates, if any, shall forthwith be paid to the Agent or Borrower as the case may be.

	 	(b)	the Termination Date; and 

  

	 	(c)	the date on which a notice is sent by the Agent pursuant to Clause 23.13 (Acceleration), 

 in accordance with Clause 8.3 (Priority of Payments) provided that for the purposes of paragraph (a) above and Clause 23.1
(Non-payment), no Event of Default shall occur for a failure to pay any Deferred Restructuring Fee in accordance with paragraph (a) above if there is no breach of Section 2(d)(iii) of the Custodial and Account Control Agreement and
Clause 7 (Cash Flow and Asset Reporting) and Clause 8 (Cash Management).

credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

Obligations”); 

  

	 	(ii)	the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only

	36.1	Servicing 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Collateral to be maintained in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in the industry for the same
type of collateral as the Collateral and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing the Borrower provides for mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and equity interests which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as
constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default; or (ii) the transfer of servicing approved by the Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Collateral is serviced by the Borrower, (i) the Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the Security Trustee is the assignee by way of security of all servicing records,
including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history
records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Collateral (the “Servicing Records”). The Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to the Lender or its designee
(including the Custodian) at the Security Trustee’s request. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Collateral is serviced by a third party servicer (such third party servicer, “the Servicer”), the Borrower (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing
agreement to the Security Trustee and the Agent, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, together with all addendums thereto (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”); and (ii) shall provide a Servicer
Notice to the Servicer substantially in the form of Schedule 16 (Servicer Notice) (a “Servicer Notice”) and shall cause the Servicer to acknowledge and agree to the same. Any successor or assignee of a Servicer shall be
approved in writing by the Agent and shall acknowledge and agree to a Servicer Notice prior to such successor’s assumption of servicing obligations with respect to any or all of the Collateral. 

  

	 	(d)	If the servicer of the Collateral is the Borrower or the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Borrower, the Borrower shall provide to the Agent and the Security Trustee a letter from the
Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to the Security
Trustee’s designee, at no cost or expense to the Security Trustee, it being agreed that the Borrower will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the
Security Trustee. 

  

 - 103 - 









	 	(e)	In the event the Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing the Collateral, the Borrower shall permit the Security Trustee and the Agent, upon advance written notice to the Borrower
(unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice shall be required), from time to time to inspect the Borrower’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the
purpose of satisfying the Security Trustee and the Agent that the Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Collateral as provided in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(f)	Irrespective of whether the Servicer is the Borrower or a third party servicer, the Borrower undertakes to procure that any monies received in respect of or derived from the
Collateral will be paid forthwith into a Borrower Bank Account. 

  

	36.2	Periodic Due Diligence Review 

 The Borrower
acknowledges that the Agent and the Security Trustee has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews (a “Due Diligence Review”) with respect to the Collateral and the manner in which they were originated, for the purposes
of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than 5 Business Days) prior notice to the Borrower (unless a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice shall be required), the Agent and the Security Trustee or its authorised representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and
extracts of, the Collateral Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession or under the control of the Borrower and/or the Custodian. The Borrower also shall make
available to the Agent and the Security Trustee a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Collateral Files and the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower
acknowledges that the Lenders may make the Loans to the Borrower based solely upon the information provided by the Borrower to the Agent and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that the Agent, at its option, has the
right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Collateral Files securing the Secured Obligations, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new Appraisals from a valuer and in a form
each reasonably acceptable to the Borrower on the related Encumbered Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Eligible Collateral. The Agent may underwrite the Eligible Collateral itself or engage a mutually
agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. The Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Agent and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing the Agent and any third
party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Eligible Collateral in the possession, or under the control, of the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees that the Borrower shall
reimburse the Agent and the Security Trustee for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and the Security Trustee in connection with the their respective activities pursuant to this Clause 36.2. Provided that the
Borrower shall not reimburse the Agent in respect of any Due Diligence Review carried out in respect of the origination of any item of Collateral, sourced or provided by MS & Co.

or another point in time, or for the same assets at another point in time. 

  

	 	(c)	Asset Value determinations and other information provided to the Borrower do not necessarily reflect the Agent’s internal bookkeeping or theoretical model-based valuations of
the subject Assets or substantially similar assets. 

  

	 	(d)	Asset Value determinations and other information provided to the Borrower may vary significantly from valuation determinations and other information which may be obtained from other
sources. 

  

	 	(e)	Asset Value determinations and other information provided to the Borrower are provided for information purposes only in furtherance of the provisions of this Agreement, and are not
an offer to enter into, transfer and assign, or terminate any transaction. 

  

	 	(f)	Asset Value determinations and other information provided to the Borrower are communicated to the Borrower solely for its use and may not be relied upon by any other person and may
not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent the Agent may withhold or delay in its sole and absolute discretion. 

  

	 	(g)	the Agent makes no representations or warranties with respect to any Asset Value determinations or other information provided to the Borrower, the Agent nor the Lender shall be
liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of any inaccuracy in such valuation determinations and other information provided to the Borrower, including as a result of any act of gross negligence or breach of any warranty.


  

 - 105 - 









	 	(h)	Valuation indications and other information provided to the Borrower in connection with Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans) are only indicative of the Asset Value of the subject
Asset submitted to the Agent for consideration thereunder, and may change without notice to the Borrower prior to, or subsequent to, the pledge by the Borrower of such Asset pursuant to Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans). No indication is
provided as to the Agent’s expectation of the future value of such Asset. 

  

	 	(i)	Valuation indications and other information provided to the Borrower in connection Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans) are to be used by the Borrower for the sole purpose of
determining whether to proceed in accordance with Clause 5 (Procedure for Loans) and for no other purpose.
