procedures that it is required (or deems desirable) to conduct in relation to the transfer to such replacement Lender. 

  

	(f)	A Lender shall perform the procedures described in paragraph (e)(iv) above as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of a notice referred to in paragraph

	(g)	  	(i)	    	If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent two Business Days’ notice of
cancellation of each Available Commitment of that Lender.

  

	 	(ii)	On the notice referred to in paragraph (i) above becoming effective, each Available Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

	8.	INTEREST 

  

	8.1	Calculation of interest

	(a)	Margin; and 

  

	(b)	LIBOR. 


  
 Page 35










	8.2	Payment of interest 

 The Company shall pay
accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period relating to that Loan (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).

  

	8.3	Default 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 Unpaid Sum from the due date to the date of
actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is, subject to paragraph (b) below, two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted
a Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.


  

	(b)	If any Unpaid Sum 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 Unpaid Sum 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 Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have applied if the
Unpaid Sum had not become due. 

  

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

  

	8.4	Notification of rates of interest 

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

	9.	INTEREST PERIODS 

  

	9.1	Selection of Interest Periods 

  

	(a)	The Company may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan is a Term Facility Loan which has already been borrowed)
in a Selection Notice. 

  

	(b)	Each Selection Notice for a Term Facility Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Company not later than 11.00 a.m. two (2) Business Days
prior to the Quotation Date for that Interest Period. 


  
 Page 36










	(c)	If the Company fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will, subject to Clause 9.2
(Changes to Interest Periods), be one Month. 

  

	(d)	Subject to this Clause 9, the Company may select an Interest Period of 1, 2, 3 or 6 Months or any other period agreed between the Company and the Agent (acting on the
instructions of all the Lenders in relation to the relevant Loan). 

  

	(e)	In addition in relation to Facility C the Company may select an Interest Period of less than one Month, if necessary to ensure that there are sufficient Facility C
Loans (with an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the applicable Facility C Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Facility C Repayment Date for the Company to make the Facility C Repayment Instalment due on that
date. 

  

	(f)	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Final Repayment Date applicable to its Facility. 


 

	(g)	Each Interest Period for a Term Facility Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date or (if a Term Facility Loan has already been made) on the last day of the preceding
Interest Period of such Loan. 

  

	(h)	A Revolving Facility Loan has one Interest Period only which shall start on the Utilisation Date of that Revolving Facility Loan. 


 

	9.2	Changes to Interest Periods 

  

	(a)	Prior to determining the interest rate for a Facility C Loan, the Agent may shorten an Interest Period for any Facility C Loan to ensure there are sufficient Facility C
Loans (with an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the Facility C Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Facility C Repayment Date for the Company to make the Facility C Repayment Instalment due on that date.


  

	(b)	If the Agent makes any change to an Interest Period referred to in this Clause 9.2, it shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders. 


 

	9.3	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). 

 

	9.4	Consolidation and division of Term Facility Loans 

  

	(a)	Subject to paragraph (b) below, if two or more Interest Periods: 

  

	 	(i)	relate to Loans under the same Term Facility; and 

  

	 	(ii)	end on the same date, 

 those
Term Facility Loans will, unless the Company specifies to the contrary in the Selection Notice for the next Interest Period, be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Term Facility Loan on the last day of the Interest Period. 

 

	(b)	Subject to Clause 4.3 (Maximum number of Loans) and Clause 5.3 (Currency and amount), if the Company requests in a Selection Notice that a Term Facility
Loan be divided into two or more Term Facility Loans, that Term Facility Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided with amounts specified in that Selection Notice, being an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Term
Facility Loan immediately before its division.

	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 noon (local time) on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the
quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	10.2	Market disruption 

  

	(a)	Subject to any alternative basis agreed and consented to as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Clause 10.3 (Alternative basis of interest or
funding), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the
sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Margin; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the percentage rate per annum notified to the Agent by that Lender, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than five Business Days before interest is due to
be paid in respect of that Interest Period, as the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source(s) it may reasonably select. 


 

	(b)	In relation to a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (c)(ii) below, if the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above shall
be less than LIBOR or if a Lender shall fail to notify the Agent of any such percentage rate per annum, the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of
paragraph (a) above, to be LIBOR. 

  

	(c)	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 Agent to determine LIBOR for US Dollars and Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	at 5.00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders
(whose participations in the relevant 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. 


 

	(d)	If a Market Disruption Event shall occur, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company thereof. 


  
 Page 38










	10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding 

  

	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Company 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 Company, be binding on all Parties.


  

	(c)	For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed at the end of the thirty day period, the rate of interest shall continue to be determined in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	10.4	Break Costs 

  

	(a)	The Company shall, within five (5) 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 Company on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum. 

  

	(b)	Each Lender shall, together with its demand, provide a certificate confirming the amount and the basis of calculation of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in
which they accrue.

40 per cent. of the Margin applicable from time to time to the Revolving Facility, 

 at close of business (in
New York) on each day of the relevant Availability Period falling after the Commitment Fee Commencement Date (or, if any such day shall not be a Business Day, at such close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day). 

  
 Page 39










	(b)	The accrued commitment fee is payable (but without double counting): 

  

	 	(i)	on the last day of each successive period of three Months which ends during the relevant Availability Period commencing with the period of three Months starting on the
Initial Utilisation Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	on the last day of the relevant Availability Period; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if a Lender’s Commitment is reduced to zero before the last day of the relevant Availability Period, on the day on which such reduction to zero becomes effective.


  

	(c)	No commitment fee is payable to the Agent (for the account of a Lender) on any Available Commitment of that Lender for any day on which that Lender is a Defaulting

Payment was required; and 

  

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

 the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in no better and no worse position in respect of its worldwide tax liabilities
than it would have been in had the Obligor not been required to make the Tax Payment. 
  

	12.5	Stamp taxes 

 The Company shall: 

 

	(a)	pay all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document, and

amount of the Indirect Tax. 

  

	(b)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance

	 	(ii)	compensated for by Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely

arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must

 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, while an Event of Default is continuing 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 (bearing interest at market rates) received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability
under this Clause 17. 

  

	17.7	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 or otherwise enjoy the benefit of any
right which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 17: 

 

	(a)	to be indemnified by an Obligor; 

  

	(b)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 


 

	(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;

guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 17.1 (Guarantee and indemnity); 

  

	(e)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or 

  

	(f)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party. 

 If any Guarantor shall receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to any such right it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution (or so much of it as may be necessary to enable all
amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be paid in full) on trust for the Finance Parties, and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the
Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics).

terms, or any laws or regulations applicable thereto, provide for or require a different means of assignment of such right or release or assumption of such obligation or prohibit or restrict any assignment of such right or release or assumption of
such obligation, unless such prohibition or restriction shall not be applicable to the relevant assignment, release or assumption or each condition of any applicable restriction shall have been satisfied.

	23.10	Security over Lenders’ rights 

 In addition
to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 23, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or
otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation: 
  

	(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, 

 except that no such
charge, assignment 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 

  

	 	(ii)	require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to
the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents. 

  

	23.11	Pro-rata interest settlement 

 If the Agent has
notified the Lenders and the Company (which it shall be under no obligation to do) that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to
Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 23.6 (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 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 of this Clause 23.11, have been payable to it on that date,
but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

Deed as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof; 

  

	 	(iii)	where the Composite Share Charge has been entered into, the Holding Company of such proposed Additional Guarantor delivers to the Security Agent a duly completed and

 Page 83

	(b)	The Agent shall accept a Resignation Letter and notify the Company and the Lenders of its acceptance if: 


 

	 	(i)	the Guarantor or its Holding Company is subject to a disposal (a “Third Party Disposal”) that is permitted under the Finance Documents and that is to a

shares (or equivalent) and issue certificates of non-crystallisation.

	25.	DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION 


 

	25.1	Obligation to keep information confidential 

  

	(a)	Each Finance Party must keep confidential all information relating to the Company, any Guarantor, the Group, the Finance Documents or a Facility of which a Finance
Party becomes aware in its capacity as, or for the purpose of becoming, a Finance Party or which is received by a Finance Party in relation to, or for the purpose of becoming a Finance Party under, the Finance Documents or a Facility from either
(i) any Group Member or any of its advisers; or (ii) another Finance Party, if the information was obtained by that Finance Party directly or indirectly from any Group Member or any of its advisers (regardless of the form such information
takes, and including information given orally and any document, electronic file or any other way of representing or recording information which contains or is derived or copied from such information) and shall not use any such information except in
connection with the Finance Documents and the Facilities. 


  
 Page 84










	(b)	However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information referred to in paragraph (a) above: 


 

	 	(i)	if such information is publicly available, other than as a direct or indirect result of a breach by that Finance Party of, or action by its Affiliates that is contrary
to the provisions of, this Clause; 

  

	 	(ii)	if required to do so in connection with any legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings or procedure; 


 

	 	(iii)	if required to do so under any applicable law or regulation; 

  

	 	(iv)	if required or requested to do so by any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority; 


 

	 	(v)	to its professional advisers and any other person providing services to it (including, without limitation, any provider of administrative or settlement services and
external auditors) provided that such person is under a duty of confidentiality, contractual or otherwise, to that Finance Party; 

  

	 	(vi)	to the head office, branches, representative offices, Subsidiaries, related corporations or Affiliate of any Finance Party (each a “Finance Party Related
Party”) and each Finance Related Party shall be permitted to disclose information as if it were a Finance Party; 

  

	 	(vii)	to any other Finance Party; 

  

	 	(viii)	to any person permitted in writing by any Obligor; 

  

	 	(ix)	to any Obligor; or 

  

	 	(x)	to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) or any Credit Derivatives Determination Committee or sub-committee of ISDA where
such disclosure is required by them in order to determine whether the obligations under the Finance Documents will be, or in order for the obligations under the Finance Documents to become, deliverable under a credit derivative transaction or other
credit linked transaction which incorporates the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and Auction Settlement Supplement or other provisions substantially equivalent thereto. 


 

	(c)	A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any potential transferee, assignee or Participant to which a transfer, assignment or sub-participation is not expressly
prohibited under Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) but for the avoidance of doubt not to an Industrial Competitor: 

  

	 	(i)	a copy of any Finance Document; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document. 


  
 Page 85









 However, before a potential transferee, assignee or Participant may receive any confidential
information, it must execute in favour of the relevant Finance Party a Confidentiality Undertaking and deliver a copy of the same to the Company. A Participant may itself disclose the documents and information referred to in sub-paragraphs
(i) and (ii) to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer of an economic or other interest in, or related to, this Agreement so long as the relevant Affiliate or transferee executes in
favour of the relevant potential transferee, assignee or Participant a Confidentiality Undertaking and delivers a copy of the same to the Company. 
 This Clause supersedes any previous agreement relating to the confidentiality of such information. 
  

	25.2	Relevant information 

 Without affecting the
responsibility of the Obligors for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each of the Lenders accepts and acknowledges that: 

 

	(a)	some or all of the information (including, without limitations, financial projections and/or other financial data) that has or may be provided to the Lenders (through
the Agent, the Security Agent or otherwise) is or may constitute relevant information in relation to the Company (the “Price Sensitive Information”) and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable
laws and regulations relating to, among other things, insider dealing and/or market abuse; 

  

	(b)	upon possession of the Price Sensitive Information, a Lender may be prohibited or restricted under the applicable laws and regulations from, among other things, dealing
in or counselling or procuring another person to deal in the listed securities of the Company or its derivatives, or the listed securities of a related corporation of the Company or its derivatives, or otherwise from using or disclosing the Price
Sensitive Information; 

  

	(c)	none of the Agent, the Security Agent nor the Mandated Lead Arrangers will be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with distributing the information
provided that where it is required to act on the instructions of any Lender or Lenders, the Agent or the Security Agent may ask for a confirmation or certificate (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent or the Security Agent, as relevant)
confirming that the instructing Lender or Lenders is or are not in possession of any Price Sensitive Information and that it is or they are not instructing the Agent or Security Agent, as relevant, to act as a consequence of being in possession of
any Price Sensitive Information; and 

  

	(d)	any information received under or in connection with the Finance Documents shall not be used for any unlawful purpose, and each Lender shall make an independent
evaluation of, and ensure its compliance with, any legal and regulatory restrictions on the use and/or disclosure of such information.

	(a)	Subject to paragraph (b) below, the Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Agent for that Party
by any other Party. 

  

	(b)	Without prejudice to Clause 23.7 (Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Company), paragraph (a) above shall not
apply to any Transfer Certificate, any Assignment Agreement or any Increase Confirmation. 

  

	(c)	Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it

	(d)	If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly
notify the Finance Parties. 

  

	(e)	If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than to any Administrative Party)
under this Agreement it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties. 

  

	(f)	The Agent shall provide to the Company within ten (10) Business Days of the last Business Day of each calendar month, a list (which may be in electronic form)
setting out the names of the Lenders as at that Business Day, their respective Commitments, the address and fax number (and the department or office, if any, for whose attention any communication is to be marked) of each Lender for any
communications to be made or document to be delivered under or in connection with the Finance Documents, the electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt by electronic mail or other electronic means

	(a)	Any Administrative Party may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Group Member.


  

	(b)	Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favour of the Agent, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Agent acting in various capacities
under the Finance Documents or for other customers of the Agent. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Agent and its affiliates (together, the “Agent Parties”) may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future
provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Agent acting as Agent
or Security Agent under the Finance Documents, that the Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender. 

  

	(c)	Consistent with its long-standing policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, the Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any
Lender (without its consent) to any of the Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that
each of the Agent Parties may deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any party and that such dealing or giving of advice, will not constitute a conflict of interest for the purposes of the Finance
Documents.

within his power to verify. 

  

	(b)	The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that: 


 

	 	(i)	no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 22.1 (Non-payment)); 


 

	 	(ii)	any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or the Majority Lenders has not been exercised; and

Obligors.

omission) if it acts (or refrains from taking any action) in accordance with an instruction of the Majority Lenders. 

  

	(b)	Unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all the Finance Parties.

Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any delay in the crediting to any account of an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent shall have taken all necessary steps as
soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for the purpose of such payment. 


 

	(b)	No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or

Party.

action (whether or not having the force of law) of any relevant government, government agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organisation to which the Agent is subject. 


  
 Page 90










	(e)	Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be liable under any circumstances for special, punitive, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, whether or not foreseeable, or for any loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit, whether arising directly or indirectly and whether or not forseeable, even if the Agent is actually aware
of or has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for such loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary obligation or otherwise. The provisions
of this Clause shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Agent.

the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) may appoint a successor Agent. 

  

	(c)	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within thirty (30) days after notice of resignation was
given, the retiring Agent (with the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) may appoint a successor Agent. 

  

	(d)	The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for

the Agent otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 26 shall be effective immediately in the event that the Agent’s continuing appointment would conflict with (and such resignation would be required by) applicable law or the
Agent’s internal policies (including without limitation with respect to “know-your-client” and/or any conflict of interest) that in each case, cannot be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent. 


 

	(f)	Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to
the benefit of this Clause 26.12. Any successor 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. 


 

	(g)	After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In this event,

	 	(i)	the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 26.14 (FATCA information) and the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or
will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	any information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 26.14 (FATCA information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA
Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date,


 and (in each case) the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA
Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Company or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

	26.13	Replacement of the Agent 

  

	(a)	After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired
Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders) replace the Agent or by appointing a successor Agent (acting through an office in Hong Kong). 


 

	(b)	The retiring 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 Agent such documents
and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. 


 

	(c)	The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Clause 26.13 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from
(and shall be payable on) that date). 

  

	(d)	Any successor 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. 

  

	26.14	FATCA Information 

  

	(a)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Agent shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by the Company or a Lender: 


 

	 	(i)	confirm to that other Party whether it is: 

  

	 	(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or 

  

	 	(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 

  

	 	(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment
percentage” or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with
FATCA. 


  
 Page 93










	(b)	If the Agent confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has
ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, the Agent shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly. 

  

	(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige the Agent to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: 


 

	 	(i)	any law or regulation; 

  

	 	(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or 

  

	 	(iii)	any duty of confidentiality. 

  

	(d)	If the Agent fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then: 

  

	 	(i)	if the Agent failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then the Agent shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is
not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if the Agent failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then the Agent shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and
payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%, 

 until (in each
case) such time as the Agent provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. 
  

	26.15	Confidentiality 

  

	(a)	In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, each of the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency or, as the case may be, trustee division which shall be
treated as a separate legal person from any other of its branches, divisions or departments. 

  

	(b)	If information is received by another branch, division or department of the legal person which is the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that branch, division
or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it. 

  

	(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent shall not be obliged to disclose to any Finance Party any information supplied to
it by the Company or any Affiliates of the Company on a confidential basis and for the purpose of evaluating whether any waiver or amendment is or may be required or desirable in relation to any Finance Document. 


  
 Page 94










	26.16	Relationship with the Lenders 

  

	(a)	Subject to Clause 28.2 (Distributions by the Agent), the Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and acting through
its Facility Office unless it has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 


 

	(b)	Each Lender shall supply the Agent with any information that the Agent may reasonably specify as being necessary or desirable to enable the Agent to perform its
functions as Agent. 

  

	(c)	Any Lender may by notice to the 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. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 30.5 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address
and/or any other information required to enable the sending and 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 30.2 (Addresses) and paragraph (a) of Clause 30.5 (Electronic communication) and the 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. 


 

	26.17	Credit appraisal by the Lenders 

 Without
affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to each Administrative Party that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for
making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to: 
  

	(a)	the financial condition, status and nature of each Group Member; 

  

	(b)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and the Transaction Security and any other agreement, arrangement or document
entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security; 

  

	(c)	whether that Finance Party has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any
Finance Document, the Transaction Security, 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;


  

	(d)	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information provided by the Agent, the Security Agent, any Party or by any other
person 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 

  

	(e)	the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of any part of the Charged Property, the priority of any of the Transaction Security or the
existence of any Security affecting the Charged Property. 


  
 Page 95










	26.18	Reference Banks 

 If a Reference Bank (or, if a
Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Agent shall (with the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or any
bank approved by the Majority Lenders to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

	26.19	Agent’s management time 

 Any amount payable
to the Agent under Clause 15.3 (Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and Expenses) and Clause 26.11 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent) shall include the reasonable cost of utilising the Agent’s management time or
other resources in respect of any duties which are outside the scope of the normal duties of the Agent under the Finance Documents and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Parent and
the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 11 (Fees). For the avoidance of doubt, any action required to be undertaken by the Agent in respect of or in relation to any Default, change in structure of
the Facility, including acts contemplated in Clauses 16.2 (Amendment costs) and 16.3 (Enforcement costs) shall not be regarded as tasks falling within the scope of the normal duties of the Agent under the Finance Documents. In the
event of any dispute in respect of such cost of utilising the Agent’s management time or other resources, the costs to be paid shall be as reasonabably determined by the Agent. 

 

	26.20	Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent 

 If
any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the 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. 

 

	27.	SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 


 

	27.1	Payments to Finance Parties 

 If a Finance Party
(a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers (whether by set off or otherwise) any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 28 (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 Agent; 


 

	(b)	the 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 Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and


  

	(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such
receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.6 (Partial payments). 


  
 Page 96










	27.2	Redistribution of payments 

 The Agent shall
treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 28.6
(Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties. 
  

	27.3	Recovering Finance Party’s rights 

  

	(a)	On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the
relevant Obligor 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 that Obligor. 


 

	(b)	If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor shall be liable to the
Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 

  

	27.4	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 Agent, pay to the 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 relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by
that Obligor. 

  

	27.5	Exceptions 

  

	(a)	This Clause 27 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 relevant Obligor. 

  

	(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.

	28.1	Payments to the Agent 

  

	(a)	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent

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 Agent specifies. 


 

	28.2	Distributions by the Agent

(Clawback), Clause 28.6 (Partial payments) and Clause 26.28 (Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent) be made available by the 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): 

  

	 	(i)	with respect to the Borrower and the Original Lenders, to such account as specified in Schedule 14 (Account details) (or such other account as that Party may
notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency); or 

  

	 	(ii)	with respect to any other Party, to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal
financial centre of the country of that currency. 

  

	(b)	The Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to all or any part of a Loan to the Lender indicated in the records of the Agent as being so entitled on
that date PROVIDED THAT the Agent is authorised to distribute payments to be made on the date on which any transfer becomes effective pursuant to Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) to the Lender so
entitled immediately before such transfer took place regardless of the period to which such sums relate. 

  

	28.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Agent may (with
the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 29 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance
Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 

  
 Page 98










	28.4	Clawback 

  

	(a)	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the 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)	If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the 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 Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect
its cost of funds. 

  

	28.5	Impaired Agent 

  

	(a)	If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance
with Clause 28.1 (Payments to the 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 and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor 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 for payment under the Finance Documents.

to their respective entitlements. 

  

	(c)	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 28.5 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 Agent in accordance with Clause 26.13 (Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent
that that Party has given an instruction pursuant 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 Agent for
distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 28.2 (Distributions by the 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, 


  
 Page 99









 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. 
  

	28.6	Partial payments 

  

	(a)	If any Finance Party receives or recovers an amount from or in respect of any Obligor under or in connection with any Finance Document which amount is insufficient to,
or is not applied to, discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, then (subject, in the case of any receipt or recovery under any Security Document, to the provisions of such Security Document) the Agent
shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order: 

  

	 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any costs, charges, losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Security Agent and any receiver(s) in
connection with the exercise or enforcement of the Transaction Security in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Account and the rights or remedies under the Account Charge; 


 

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


 

	 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee (other than as provided in (ii) above) or commission due but unpaid under the
Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and 


 

	 	(v)	fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents. 


 

	(b)	The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(iii) to (v) above. 


 

	(c)	Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor. 


 

	28.7	No set-off by Obligors

by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 
  

	28.8	Business Days 

  

	(a)	Any payment which is due to be made on a day (other than a Final Repayment Date) that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar
month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not). If a Final Repayment Date is not a Business Day, any payment which is due to be made on that Final Repayment Date shall be made on the preceding Business Day.


  

	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under paragraph (a) above, interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at

in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company); and 

  

	 	(ii)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that
currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company). 

  

	(b)	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company) specifies to
be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 


 

	29.	SET-OFF 


While an Event of Default is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent
beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies,
the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. That Finance Party shall promptly notify that Obligor of any such set-off or conversion.

	31.	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES 


 

	31.1	Accounts 

 In any litigation or arbitration
proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts maintained by a Finance Party are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate. 

 

	31.2	Certificates and determinations 

 Any
certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document shall set out the basis of calculation in reasonable detail and 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. 
  

	32.	PARTIAL INVALIDITY 

 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. 

 

	33.	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 of any such right or remedy or constitute
an election to affirm any of the Finance Documents. No election to affirm any of the Finance Documents on the part of any Finance Party shall be effective unless it is in writing. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall 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.

results in that Defaulting Lender’s Total Commitments being zero, that Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

required to allow the Lenders to respond to the relevant request in an informed manner); or

 (unless, in either case, the Company and the Agent agree to a longer time period in relation to any request): 

 

	 	(i)	its Commitment(s) shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total Commitments under the relevant Facility/ies when ascertaining whether any relevant
percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of Total Commitments has been obtained to approve that request; and 

  

	 	(ii)	its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve that

Costs), Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) to any Lender; or 

  

	 	(iii)	any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, 

 then the Company may, on fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and, to the extent permitted by law, such
Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank, financial institution or other entity (a “Replacement
Lender”) selected by the Company, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender in accordance with Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) for a purchase price in cash payable at
the time of transfer in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Utilisations and all accrued interest (to the extent that the Agent has not given a notification under Clause 23.11
(Pro-rata interest settlement)), Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

the Finance Documents; and

	(c)	A Lender shall perform the checks described in paragraph (b)(v) above as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of a notice referred to in paragraph
(a) above and shall notify the Agent and the Company when it is satisfied that it has complied with those checks. 

  

	(d)	In the event that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company or the Agent (at the request of the Company) has requested the Lenders to give a consent in relation to, or to agree to a waiver or amendment of, any
provisions of the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of all the Lenders; and 


 

	 	(iii)	Lenders whose Commitments aggregate more than eighty per cent. (80%) of the Total Commitments (or, if the Total Commitments have been reduced to zero, aggregated
more than eighty per cent. (80%) of the Total Commitments prior to that reduction) have consented or agreed to such waiver or amendment, 

 then any Lender who does not and continues not to consent or agree to such waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

Holdco”) or a new holding company between the Company and its shareholders. 

  

	(b)	If any such re-organisation is proposed, the Company may notify the Agent, giving details thereof and details of any proposed amendments to the terms of the Finance
Documents in connection therewith (the “Proposed Amendments”). The Agent shall promptly notify the Finance Parties of all details so received.

Amendments that may be requested by the Agent or its advisers.

Finance Parties, enter into such amendments as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the Proposed Amendments (which for the avoidance of doubt may include the novation of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder to an
Intermediate Holdco and/or the accession of an Intermediate Holdco as an Additional Guarantor), provided that the Agent will not be required to enter into such amendments if: 


 

	 	(i)	the Company is unwilling to procure such legal opinions or to meet such other conditions (not to include payment of fees) as may be reasonably requested by the Agent in
connection with such amendments; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agent considers in good faith that such amendments are adverse to the interests of the Finance Parties in a material respect. 


(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the matters referred to in this Clause 34.8 (including

 Dear Sirs 
 We understand that you are considering acquiring an interest in the Facilities

which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to one or more Finance Documents and/or one or more Obligors or by way of investing in or otherwise financing, directly or indirectly, any such novation, assignment, sub-participation or

	 	(b)	until the Acquisition is completed, to use the Confidential Information only for the Permitted Purpose. 


 

	2.	Permitted Disclosure 

 You
may disclose Confidential Information: 
  

	 	(a)	to any member of the Purchaser Group, its professional advisers, officers, directors, employees, auditors and other persons providing services to it (provided that such
person is under a duty of confidentiality in relation to the Confidential Information, professional, contractual or otherwise, to you) to the extent necessary for the Permitted Purpose, if such person to whom the Confidential Information is to be
given pursuant to this paragraph is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information, except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient

 provided that such person has delivered to you (with a copy to the Company) a letter in equivalent form to this letter; and 
  


	 	(d)	notwithstanding paragraphs (a) to (c) above, to such persons to whom, and on the same terms as, a Finance Party is permitted to disclose Confidential
Information under the Facilities Agreement, as if such permissions were set out in full in this letter and as if references in those permissions to a Finance Party were references to you. 


 

	3.	Notification of Required or Unauthorised Disclosure 

 To the extent practicable and permitted by law and regulation, you agree to inform us:

	 	(b)	destroy or permanently erase all copies of Confidential Information made by you; and 


 

	 	(c)	use reasonable endeavours to ensure that anyone who has received any Confidential Information destroys or permanently erases such Confidential Information and all

other securities of any member of the Purchaser Group are listed or in accordance with internal policy, or where the Confidential Information has been disclosed under paragraph 2(b) above. 

However, you and any such recipients shall not be under any obligation to return, destroy or permanently erase any Confidential
Information: 
  

	 	(i)	contained in any work produced by any member of the Purchaser Group, its professional advisers or other persons providing services to it, to the extent that any of them
are required by any applicable law, rule or regulation or by any competent banking, taxation, judicial, governmental, supervisory, regulatory or equivalent body or stock exchange or by internal policy to retain such work; or


  

	 	(ii)	contained in any computer record or file which has been created by or pursuant to any automatic electronic archiving system or IT back-up procedure.

letter and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express or implied, regarding the information the subject of this letter. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this letter will operate as a waiver thereof nor
