	15.4
	Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:
		
	(a)
	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part or to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax 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 the same after‐Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.
		
	15.5
	Stamp taxes

Each Obligor shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document, except for any such amount payable in respect of an assignment or, transfer or sub-participation by that Finance Party.
		
	15.6
	VAT

		
	(a)
	All amounts set out or expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

		
	(b)
	If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

		
	(i)
	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.  The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which 

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	39
	 

the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
		
	(ii)
	(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

		
	(c)
	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

		
	(d)
	Any reference in this Clause ‎15.6 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time. 

		
	15.7
	FATCA Deduction and gross-up by Obligor

		
	(a)
	If an Obligor is required to make a FATCA Deduction, that Obligor shall make that FATCA Deduction and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by FATCA.

		
	(b)
	If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required.

		
	(c)
	A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (b) above by reason of a FATCA Deduction if on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to that Lender (or to the Agent on behalf of such Lender) without a FATCA Deduction if such Lender (or Agent) were a FATCA Exempt Party, except where, in the case of any Lender that is a Party as at the date of this Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement, being or becoming a FATCA Exempt Party would constitute a breach of any law in that Lender’s jurisdiction. 

		
	(d)
	The Guarantor shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Finance Party shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Finance Party. If the Agent receives such notification from a Finance Party it shall notify the Guarantor and that Obligor.

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	40
	 

		
	(e)
	    Within thirty days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Obligor making that FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant governmental or taxation authority.

		
	15.8
	Tax Credit and FATCA

If an Obligor makes a FATCA Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:
		
	(a)
	a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that FATCA Payment forms part, to that FATCA Payment or to a FATCA Deduction in consequence of which that FATCA 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 the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the FATCA Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

	FATCA Information

		
	(a)
	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA;

		
	(iii)
	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

		
	(b)
	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 15.8(a)(i)(A) 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, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

		
	(c)
	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	41
	 

		
	(i)
	any law or regulation;

		
	(ii)
	any fiduciary duty; or

		
	(iii)
	any duty of confidentiality.

		
	(d)
	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

SECTION 7 
GUARANTEE
		
	20.
	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

		
	20.1
	Guarantee and indemnity

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:
		
	(a)
	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

		
	(b)
	undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor 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 Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor 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 a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 20 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

		
	20.2
	Continuing Guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
		
	20.3
	Reinstatement

If any 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 Finance Party 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 20 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.
		
	20.4
	Waiver of defences

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	48
	 

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 20 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 20, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 20 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:
		
	(a)
	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

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

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

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

		
	(e)
	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document 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.

		
	20.5
	Guarantor Intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 20.4 (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 and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents 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; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.
		
	20.6
	Immediate recourse

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this 

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	49
	 

Clause 20. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.
		
	20.7
	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 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 the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

		
	(b)
	hold in an interest‐bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 20.

		
	20.8
	Deferral of Guarantor’s 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, 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 20:
		
	(a)
	to be indemnified by an Obligor;

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

		
	(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;

		
	(d)
	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 20.1 (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 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 Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance 

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	50
	 

Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 31 (Payment mechanics).
		
	20.9
	Additional security

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

SECTION 9 
CHANGES TO PARTIES
		
	26.
	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

		
	26.1
	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 26, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:
		
	(a)
	assign any of its rights; or

		
	(b)
	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”) and, at any time when an Event of Default is continuing, to any third party.
		
	26.2
	Conditions of assignment or transfer

		
	(a)
	An Existing Lender must notify with the Borrowers before it may make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 26.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders) unless the assignment or transfer is:

		
	(i)
	to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

		
	(ii)
	if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender; or

		
	(iii)
	made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

		
	(b)
	An assignment will only be effective on:

		
	(i)
	receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

		
	(ii)
	the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

		
	(c)
	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

		
	(d)
	If:

		
	(i)
	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	67
	 

		
	(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 Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 16 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that Clause to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.
		
	(e)
	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender;

		
	(f)
	In order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the amount transferred under this Clause 26 shall include an outstanding portion of at least EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) per Lender or such other amount as may be required from time to time by the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (or implementing legislation) or if less, the New Lender shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers that it is a professional market party within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.

		
	26.3
	Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of EUR 3,000.
		
	26.4
	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

		
	(a)
	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender 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 Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	68
	 

		
	(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 participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party 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 or any Commitment is in force.

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

		
	(i)
	accept a re‐transfer or re‐assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 26; or

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

		
	26.5
	Procedure for transfer

		
	(a)
	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

		
	(b)
	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

		
	(c)
	Subject to Clause 26.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

		
	(i)
	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

		
	(ii)
	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor 

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	69
	 

or other member of the Group and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;
		
	(iii)
	the Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender, the other Lenders and any relevant Ancillary Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arranger and any relevant Ancillary Lender and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

		
	(iv)
	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

		
	26.6
	Procedure for assignment

		
	(a)
	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

		
	(b)
	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

		
	(c)
	Subject to Clause 26.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

		
	(i)
	the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

		
	(ii)
	the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”) expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and

		
	(iii)
	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

		
	(d)
	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 26.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	70
	 

		
	26.7
	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement 

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, an Assignment Agreement or an Increase Confirmation, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation.
		
	26.8
	Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26, 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 other Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

		
	(ii)
	require any payments to be made by an Obligor 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.

		
	26.9
	Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders 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 26.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 26.6 (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; 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:

	
			
	PRAGUE 2451640
	71
	 

		
	(i)
	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of 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 26.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

		
	27.
	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents provided, however, this provision shall not prevent any of the Borrowers from merging into one entity.

	(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.

	(ii)
	agrees that failure by an agent for service of process 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, each Obligor must immediately (and in any event within five days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent.
