EXHIBIT 4.2

DESCRIPTION OF REGISTERED SECURITIES

As of December 31, 2020, Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (“Radius” or the “Company”) had only one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: its shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). The following summary description of the Class A Common Stock of Radius does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the Certificate of Incorporation which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the Bylaws which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this Exhibit 4.2 is a part, as well as the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

General

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Radius has the authority to issue up to 1,590 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). Each share of Class A Common stock has the same relative rights, and is identical in all respects, with each other share of Class A Common Stock. Class A Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ under the symbol "RADI". Radius also has the authority, under the Certificate of Incorporation, to issue up to (i) 200,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”); and (ii) 202,986,033 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), of which (i) 1,600,000 is designated “Series A Founder Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Founder Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 1,386,033 is designated “Series B Founder Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Founder Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Founder Preferred Stock, the “Founder Preferred Stock”). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) is authorized to issue additional shares of authorized capital stock of Radius without stockholder approval (except as may be required by the listing standards of Nasdaq).

Voting Rights

The holders of shares of the Class A Common Stock and the holders of the shares of the Class B Common Stock, vote together as a single class on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of shares of the Series A Founder Preferred Stock and Series B Founder Preferred Stock. Delaware law could require either holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock  to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:

	
 
	
•
	
if we were to seek to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of a class of stock, or to increase or decrease the par value of a class of capital stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and

	
 
	
•
	
if we were to seek to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences, or special rights of a class of capital stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.

Each holder of record of shares of Class A Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote for each shares Class A Common Stock standing in such holder’s name on the stock transfer records of the Company. The holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Dividends

Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to ratably receive dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor, subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company.

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding and the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, each voting separately as a single class, no dividend will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the shares of Class A Common Stock in (i) shares of Class A Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock unless there will also be or have been declared and set apart for payment on the shares of Class B Common Stock, a dividend of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock or (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock unless there will also be or have been declared and set apart for payment on the shares of Class B Common Stock, a dividend of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock or rights options or warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends in respect of their shares of Class B Common Stock.

No Preemptive Rights

Holders of the shares of the Class A Common Stock are not be entitled to preemptive rights.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the Company, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of shares of preferred stock of the Company.

Conversion

Shares of Class A Common Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other class or series of capital stock of the Company.

Stock Splits

Without the prior vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding and the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, each voting separately as a single class, no reclassification, subdivision or combination will be effected on the shares of Class A Common Stock unless the same reclassification, subdivision or combination, in the same proportion and manner, is made on the shares of Class B Common Stock.

Merger or Consolidation

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity), the holders of each share of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration on a per share basis

Anti-Takeover Provisions 

The provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, discourage or prevent another party from acquiring control of us, even if the acquisition could be beneficial to stockholders. These provisions discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with the Board, which may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of the stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

Board and Committee Composition

So long as TOMS Acquisition II LLC, Imperial Landscape Sponsor LLC and William Berkman, their affiliates and their permitted transferees in aggregate hold 20% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Founder Preferred Stock, four of the Company’s nine directors are “Founder Directors”, appointed by the holders of the shares of Founder Preferred Stock without any vote of the holders of the shares of Common Stock. In addition, 

 

 

William Berkman, Berkman Family Investments, LLC, Scott Bruce, Richard Goldstein and their permitted transferees have the right to designate a majority of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, and at least four-ninths of each committee of the Board are comprised of Founder Directors or other directors selected by them. As a result, holders of the shares of Common Stock have the right to elect only five out of nine Directors, which will limit a potential acquirors’ ability to influence the composition of the Board and, in turn, potentially influence and impact actions taken by the Board.

Further, so long as shares of Founder Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company is not permitted to increase the size of the Board to more than nine Directors without the prior vote or consent of the holders of at least 80% in voting power of the outstanding shares of Founder Preferred Stock.

Cumulative Voting

The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulative votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. The Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Director Vacancies

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize only the Board to elect a director to fill vacancies on the Board resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, or from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause (in each case, subject to the rights of the holders of the shares of Founder Preferred Stock). These provisions will prevent stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Board and would therefore prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of the Board and then gaining control of the Board by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. 

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise stated in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, the stockholders may act by written consent without a meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the stockholders may not take action by written consent; provided, however, that holders of the shares of Founder Preferred Stock may act by written consent in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. As a result, stockholders (other than holders of shares of the Founder Preferred Stock) may only take action at annual or special meetings of the stockholders.

Special Meeting of Stockholders; Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals

The Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, (a) may be called at any time, but only by (i) the chairman of the Board, if there is one, or if there are co-chairmen of the Board, either of them, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, (iii) the Board or (iv) an officer authorized by the Board to do so and (b) shall be called by (i) the chairman of the Board, if there is one, or, if there are co-chairmen of the Board, either of them, or (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, upon the written request of the holders of at least 30% of the voting power of the then outstanding capital shares of the Company generally entitled to vote on the matter for which such special meeting of stockholders is called.

In addition, the Bylaws establish advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting, including that any such stockholder must give timely notice of any stockholder proposal in writing to the Company’s corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. To be timely, such notice is generally be required to be delivered or mailed and received not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude the stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. These procedures may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

 

 

Further, any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned or postponed from time to time by the chairman of such meeting or by the Board, without the need for approval thereof by stockholders to reconvene or convene, respectively, at the same or some other place. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if they are favored by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

Authorized but Unissued Preferred Shares

The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board, by resolution and without further action by the stockholders, to provide from time to time out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock, and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the powers (including voting powers), if any, of the shares of such series and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of such series. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved preferred shares could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provides for certain limitations on liability and indemnification for the Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The effect of such provisions is to restrict the Company’s rights and the rights of the stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its Directors and through employment agreements, it executive officers. 

Exclusive Forum

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless consented in writing by the Company to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware (unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, in which case the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware).

The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and have consented to the forum provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 203 of the DGCL

The Company is governed by Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”). In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:

	
 
	
•
	
prior to such transaction, the corporation’s board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder;

	
 
	
•
	
upon completion of such transaction, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (with certain exclusions); or

 

 

	
 
	
•
	
at the time or after the person became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized by a vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales, stock sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is defined as an entity or person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, based on voting power, and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such an entity or person. Although a Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision either with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or in an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws approved by its stockholders, the Company did not opt out of Section 203. Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to the Company and, accordingly, may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by the stockholders.

Amendment of Bylaws

Under the Bylaws, the Board can adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws, subject to limitations under the DGCL. The Company’s stockholders also have the power to amend or repeal the Bylaws.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Its address is 150 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, USA.radi-ex1023_374.htm

(b)
	
to the extent that the Holder's Promissory Certificates have not been transferred pursuant to this Agreement (such transfer to be treated as if it were a transfer in accordance with Clause 22.1(d) and as if an Event of Default had occurred that is continuing), the Company shall redeem the Promissory Certificates held by that Holder on the Payment Date occurring after the Holder has notified the Company or, if earlier, the date specified by the Holder in the notice delivered to the Company (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law) at a price equal to: 

	
 
	
(i)

Tax gross-up

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

	
 
	
(b)
	
If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or applicable withholding agent under any Finance Document and the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount of the payment due from the relevant Obligor 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 of an Indemnified Tax had been required.

	
 
	
(c)
	
If an Obligor or applicable withholding agent is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor or applicable withholding agent 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.

	
 
	
(d)
	
As soon as practicable after making a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company (or applicable withholding agent) shall deliver to the Holder entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Holder that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

	
 
	
(e)
	

	
 
	
(i)
	
Any Holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Finance Document shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Holder, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Clause) shall not be required if in the Holder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Holder.

- 45 -
	
 

 

 

	
 
		
indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

	
 
	
(C)
	
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), copies of an executed version of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

	
 
	
(D)
	
each Holder shall deliver to the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Holder has complied with such Holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Holder agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Treatment of Certain Refunds.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Clause 11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Clause), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Clause with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person. 

	
11.5
	
Stamp taxes

The Company shall pay and, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Holder against any cost, loss or liability that Holder incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing and other similar Taxes payable that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Finance Document except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment.

SECTION 7
GUARANTEE

	
16.
	
Guarantee and Indemnity

	
16.1
	
Guarantee and indemnity

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

	
 
	
(a)
	
guarantees to each Holder punctual performance by the Company of all the Company's obligations under the Finance Documents;

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

	
 
	
(c)
	
agrees with each Holder that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Holder immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Company not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 16 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

	
16.2
	
Continuing guarantee

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

	
16.3
	
Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Holder in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 16 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

	
16.4
	
Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 16 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 16, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause  16 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Holder) including:

	
 
	
(a)
	
any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

 

			
	
 
	
- 52 -
	
 

 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

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

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

	
 
	
(e)
	
any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of the maturity of the Promissory Certificates or any increase in the principal amount of the Promissory Certificates or other document or security;

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

	
 
	
(g)
	
any insolvency or similar proceedings.

	
16.5
	
Guarantor Intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 16.4 (Waiver of defences), the Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents (for avoidance of doubt, including any PIK Interest that has been capitalised under Clause 9.3 (Payment of interest - PIK)) and/or any increase in the Principal Amount of the Promissory Certificates for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature, increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carry out restructurings; refinancing the existing Promissory Certificates; refinancing any other indebtedness; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which the Promissory Certificates might be used from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing. 

	
16.6
	
Immediate recourse

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Holder (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 16. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

	
16.7
	
Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Holder (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 Holder (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 the Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

 

			
	
 
	
- 53 -
	
 

 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 16.

	
16.8
	
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 Holders otherwise direct, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights 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 16:

	
 
	
(a)
	
to be indemnified by the Company;

	
 
	
(b)
	
to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of 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 Holders under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Holder;

	
 
	
(d)
	
to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring the Company to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 16.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

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

	
 
	
(f)
	
to claim or prove as a creditor of the Company in competition with any Holder.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Holders by the Company under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Holders and shall promptly pay or transfer the same as the Holders may direct for application in accordance with Clause 27 (Payment Mechanics).

	
16.9
	
Additional security

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Holder.

SECTION 9
CHANGES TO PARTIES

	
22.
	
Changes to the Holders

	
22.1
	
Transfer of Promissory Certificates

	
 
	
(a)
	
Subject to Clause 6.5 (Regulations concerning transfers and registration), Clause 22.2 (Conditions of transfer of Promissory Certificates) and Clause 22.7 (New Holders), a Promissory Certificate may be transferred by a Holder (the "Existing Holder") to a New Holder upon surrender of the relevant Promissory Certificate Voucher, together with an Assignment Agreement (and a Secured Party Accession Undertaking if the proposed transferee is not already a Party to this Agreement) duly completed and duly executed by the Existing Holder and the New Holder, to be delivered to the Registrar and notified to the Company, together with such evidence as the Company may reasonably require to prove the title of the Existing Holder and the authority of the individuals who have executed the Assignment Agreement.

	
 
	
(b)
	
A Promissory Certificate may not be transferred unless the Principal Amount of Promissory Certificates transferred and (where not all of the Promissory Certificates held by a Holder are being transferred) the Principal Amount of the balance of Promissory Certificates not transferred are Authorised Denominations. 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Where not all the Promissory Certificates represented by the surrendered Promissory Certificate Voucher are the subject of the transfer, a new Promissory Certificate Voucher in respect of the balance of the Promissory Certificates will be issued to the Existing Holder.

	
 
	
(d)
	
Subject to this Clause 22, an Existing Holder may only (i) assign any of its rights or (ii) transfer by novation or otherwise any of its rights and obligations, under any Finance Document, in either of sub-clauses (i) or (ii), to an Eligible Purchaser (the "New Holder"), unless an assignment or transfer is:

	
 
	
(i)
	
made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing, in which case an Existing Holder may transfer any of its rights and obligations under any Finance Document to any third party; or

	
 
	
(ii)
	
made at a time when the Company is in breach of its Interest Coverage obligations, in which case an Existing Holder may transfer any of its rights and obligations under any Finance Document to a third party that is not a Non-Restricted Purchaser.

 

 

			
	
 
	
- 76 -
	
 

 

 

	
22.2
	
Conditions of transfer of Promissory Certificates

	
 
	
(a)
	
An Existing Holder must provide at least 10 Business Days' notice to the Company before it may make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 22.1 (Transfer of Promissory Certificate).

	
 
	
(b)
	
A transfer of the Promissory Certificates by way of assignment will only be effective on:

	
 
	
(i)
	
receipt by the Registrar, with a copy to the Company, (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Holder (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) that the New Holder will assume the same obligations to the other Holders as it would have been under if it was an Original Holder; 

	
 
	
(ii)
	
in respect of any New Holder that is not already a Party to this Agreement, receipt by the Share Pledge Agent and the Registrar, with a copy to the Company, of a duly completed and duly executed Secured Party Accession Undertaking; and

	
 
	
(iii)
	
the recordation of such assignment or transfer in the Register in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clauses 6 (Register and Title) and 22.7 (New Holders).

	
 
	
(c)
	
If:

	
 
	
(i)
	
a Holder assigns any of its rights under the Finance Documents or changes its Specified Office; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Holder or Holder acting through its new Specified Office under Clause 11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

then the New Holder or Holder acting through its new Specified Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Holder or Holder acting through its previous Specified Office would have been if the assignment or change had not occurred.  

	
 
	
(d)
	
Each New Holder, by executing the relevant Assignment Agreement, confirms that it will execute any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Holder or Holders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Holder would have been had it remained a Holder.

 

			
	
 
	
- 77 -
	
 

 

 

	
22.3
	
Limitation of responsibility of Existing Holders

	
 
	
(a)
	
Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Holder makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Holder for:

	
 
	
(i)
	
the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
the financial condition of any Obligor;

	
 
	
(iii)
	
the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

	
 
	
(iv)
	
the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Each New Holder confirms to the Existing Holder and the other Holders that it: 

	
 
	
(i)
	
has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its holding of the Promissory Certificates and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Holder in connection with any Finance Document; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents.

	
 
	
(c)
	
Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Holder to:

	
 
	
(i)
	
accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Holder of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 22; or 

	
 
	
(ii)
	
support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Holder by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

	
22.4
	
Procedure for assignment

	
 
	
(a)
	
Subject to:

	
 
	
(i)
	
the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions of transfer of Promissory Certificates) and Clause 22.7 (New Holders) a transfer of Promissory Certificates by way of assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (b) below when the Existing Holder delivers to the Company a duly completed Assignment Agreement (and a duly completed and duly executed Secured Party Accession Undertaking in respect of any New Holder that is not already a Party to this Agreement) and records such assignment in the Register.

 

			
	
 
	
- 78 -
	
 

 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
On the Transfer Date:

	
 
	
(i)
	
the Existing Holder will assign absolutely to the New Holder of the Promissory Certificates held by it that are being transferred together with all the rights under the Finance Documents relating to such Promissory Certificates expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
the Existing Holder will be released by each Obligor and the other Holders from the obligations owed by it which relate to such Promissory Certificates (the "Relevant Obligations") and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and

	
 
	
(iii)
	
the New Holder will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations. 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Holders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 22.4 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor, to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Holders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Holder) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Conditions of transfer of the Promissory Certificates).

	
22.5
	
Pro rata interest settlement

If the Company has notified the Holders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Holders and New Holders where 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 in respect of the Promissory Certificates to be so transferred to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Holder up to but excluding that Transfer Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Holder (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period; and

	
 
	
(b)
	
the rights transferred by the Existing Holder 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 Holder; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
the amount payable to the New Holder on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 22.5, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

	
 
	
(c)
	
An Existing Holder which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 22.5 but which does not hold any Promissory Certificates shall be deemed not to be a Holder for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Holders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Holders under the Finance Documents.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Holder shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c)

Jurisdiction

	
 
	
(a)
	
The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a "Dispute").  

	
 
	
(b)
	
The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

	
 
	
(c)
	
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, no Holder shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by law, the Holders may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Obligor incorporated in England and Wales):

	
 
	
(i)
	
irrevocably appoints Vistra Trust Company Limited as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and

	
 
	
(ii)
	
agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

	
 
	
(b)
	
If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Company (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within 10 Business Days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Holders. Failing this, the Holders may appoint another agent for this purpose.
