	 	(j)	any acquiescence, negligence or mistake on the part of an Agent; 

  

	 	(k)	the Lenders or any Agent being able to raise any right of combination of accounts, set-off or similar rights in view of any Guarantor’s Liabilities; and


  

	 	(l)	any other act, fact, event or omission which but for this provision might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Guarantors’ liability hereunder.


  

	6.2	Unrestricted Right of Enforcement 

 The
Guarantors’ obligations hereunder are in addition to and not in substitution for any Collateral Security which the Security Agent may now or hereafter hold. This Guarantee Agreement may be enforced without the Security Agent first having
recourse to any such Collateral Security and without having to take any steps or proceedings or exhaust any rights against the Borrower or any Other Surety, or may be enforced for any balance due to the Security Agent after having resorted to any
one or more such means of obtaining payment and discharge of all or any part of the Guarantors’ Liabilities. 
  

	7.	TAXES 

  

	7.1	Indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	The Guarantors, as joint and several debtors (als Gesamtschuldner), shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Security Agent) pay to the Protected Party an
amount equal to the loss, liability or cost that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of withholding Tax, stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes by that Protected Party in
respect of a Finance Document. 

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(A)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender is treated as resident for tax
purposes; or 

  

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


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

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

  

	 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 7.2 (Gross-up); or 

  

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 7.2 (Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph
(d) of Clause 7.2 (Gross-up) applied. 

  

 12 









	 	(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make, a claim pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Security Agent of the event which will give, or has given,
rise to the claim, following which the Security Agent shall notify each of the Guarantors. 

  

	 	(d)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from a Guarantor under this Clause 7.1, notify the Security Agent. 

  

	7.2	Gross-Up 

  

	 	(a)	Each of the Guarantors shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. 

  

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


  

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

  

	 	(d)	A Guarantor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of any payment which is capable of attracting a
Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due: 

  

	 	(i)	the payment relates to a Tax referred to in paragraph (b) of Clause 7.1 (Indemnity); 

  

	 	(ii)	the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without the Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying
Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under the Facility Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant
taxing authority; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Guarantor is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to that Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph
(g) below, including timely providing the documents allowing the Guarantor to make the payment without a Tax Deduction. 

  

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

  

	 	(f)	Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the relevant Guarantor shall deliver to the Security
Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.


  

 13 









	 	(g)	A Lender and the relevant Guarantor shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Guarantor to obtain authorisation to make a payment to that Lender
without a Tax Deduction, and such Lender shall provide to the applicable party or parties on a timely basis the necessary documents allowing the Guarantor to make the payment without a Tax Deduction. 

  

	 	(h)	Any difference in the amount which is owed by a Guarantor under paragraph (c) above will not be covered by the Federal/State Guarantee. Any such amount which is paid by that
Guarantor and not recovered by it under Clause 7.3 (Tax Credit) is deemed to reduce the principal amount owed by the Guarantor in relation to the Federal/State Guarantor. 

  

	7.3	Tax Credit 

  

	 	(a)	If a Guarantor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that: 

  

	 	(i)	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and 

  

	 	(ii)	that Lender has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit, or could have obtained, utilised or retained that Tax Credit had it claimed such benefit according to the applicable
procedural rules within the provisions of paragraph (c) below, 

 the Lender shall pay an amount to that Guarantor which
that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Guarantor. Upon the request of the Guarantor, the relevant Lender will use its
reasonable endeavours (to the extent commercially practicable and legally permitted) to recover such Tax Credit. 
  

	 	(b)	If such a Tax Credit by reference to which a Lender has made a payment to the relevant Guarantor under paragraph (a) above is subsequently disallowed or cancelled, the
Guarantor must reimburse any payment made under paragraph (a) above to the relevant Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	If a Guarantor makes a Tax Payment, the relevant Lender shall take reasonable steps to claim a Tax Credit unless in the opinion of that Lender the making of such claim might have an
adverse effect on its business, operations, property, condition or prospects (financial or otherwise). The relevant Guarantor shall bear any costs incurred by a Lender in making such a claim. 

  

	7.4	Lenders’ Confirmation 

 After the Amendment
Date, each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Guarantors (through the Security Agent) if it becomes aware that circumstances have occurred as a result of which it is not a Qualifying Lender. 
  

 14 









	8.	CURRENCY INDEMNITY 

 If any amount is received by
the Security Agent in a currency other than that in which the relevant obligation or liability of that Guarantor was payable (the “Required Currency”) (whether pursuant to a judgment, in the Insolvency of that Guarantor or
otherwise), such obligation or liability shall be discharged only to the extent that an Agent is able, upon receipt of such amount, to purchase the Required Currency with such other currency in accordance with the usual banking procedures of the
Security Agent. If the amount in the Required Currency which may be so purchased is, after deducting any costs of exchange and any other related costs, less than the amount of the relevant obligation or liability, the relevant Guarantor shall, as a
separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any time or other indulgence granted to that Guarantor or any other act, matter or thing, forthwith pay to the Security Agent the amount of the shortfall. 
  

	9.	CLAIMS BY GUARANTOR 

  

	9.1	Limitation on Exercise of Rights 

 So long as any of
the Guarantors’ Liabilities remain outstanding or capable of arising each of the Guarantors waives all rights of subrogation and indemnity against the Borrower and any Other Surety and agrees that it shall not exercise any rights which it may
have by reason of performance by it of its obligations hereunder and under the other Finance Documents and it shall not, except as may be directed by the Security Agent: 
  

	 	(a)	make or enforce any claim or right against the Borrower or any Other Surety whether in respect of any payment hereunder or otherwise and whether by way of defence, set-off,
counterclaim, subrogation, contribution, indemnity or otherwise, except as specifically permitted under the Subordination Agreement; 

  

	 	(b)	claim the benefit of any set-off, counterclaim, proof, dividend, composition or payment to which an Agent may now or hereafter be entitled from or against the Borrower or any Other
Surety, except as specifically permitted under the Subordination Agreement; 

  

	 	(c)	claim the benefit of or participate in any Collateral Security now or hereafter held by the Security Agent or any share therein; 

  

	 	(d)	prove or claim in competition to the Security Agent in the Insolvency of the Borrower or any Other Surety so as to diminish any distribution, dividend or payment which, but for such
proof or claim, the Security Agent would be entitled to receive and the Guarantor shall not claim or receive the benefit of any distribution, dividend or payment arising out of or relating thereto; 

  

	 	(e)	call on an Agent to sue or take proceedings against the Borrower or any Other Surety or raise a defence, set-off or counterclaim of the Guarantor, the Borrower or any Other Surety
in reduction of the relevant Guarantor’s liability hereunder;
