Borrowers a multicurrency revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Commitments. 
  

	2.2	Increase 

  

	 	(a)	The Company may by giving prior notice to the Agent by no later than the date falling five Business Days after the effective date of a cancellation of: 

 

	 	(i)	the Available Commitments of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with paragraph (f) of Clause 7.5 (Right of replacement or repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender); or 

 

	 	(ii)	the Commitment of a Lender in accordance with Clause 7.1 (Illegality), 

 request that
the Total Commitments be increased (and the Total Commitments under that Facility shall be so increased) in an aggregate amount in the Base Currency of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Commitments so cancelled as follows: 

 

	 	(iii)	the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an “Increase Lender”) selected by the Company (each of
which shall not be a member of the Group and which is further acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably)) and each of which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the
increased Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender; 

  

	 	(iv)	each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the
Increase Lender been an Original Lender; 

  

	 	(v)	each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that
Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender; 

  

	 	(vi)	the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and 

  

	 	(vii)	any increase in the Total Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Company in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (b) below are satisfied.

  

	 	(b)	An increase in the Total Commitments will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(i)	the execution by the Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender; and 

  
 21 

	 	(ii)	in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase, the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all
applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments by that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Company and the Increase Lender. 

 

	 	(c)	Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, 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 increase becomes effective. 

  

	 	(d)	Unless the Agent otherwise agrees, the Company (or Delcor) shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of EUR 2,500 and the Company (or Delcor) shall promptly on

	 	(f)	Clause 23.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 (Increase) in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to:

  

	 	(i)	an “Existing Lender” were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase; 

  

	 	(ii)	the “New Lender” were references to that “Increase Lender”; and 

  

	 	(iii)	a “re-transfer” is a reference to a “transfer”. 

  

	2.3	Extension of Termination Date 

  

	 	(a)	Provided that no Default is continuing at the relevant time, the Company may, by notice to the Agent (an “Extension Notice”) delivered not more than 90 and not less than 45 calendar days prior to:

  

	 	(i)	the date falling one year from the date of this Agreement; and/or 

  

	 	(ii)	the date falling two years from the date of this Agreement, 

 request an extension of the then
current Termination Date of all (and not less than all) Commitments (the “Original Termination Date”) to: 
  

	 	(A)	(in the case of a request made pursuant to paragraph (i) above) the date which is six years after the date of this Agreement; and 

 

	 	(B)	(in the case of a request made pursuant to paragraph (ii) above): 

  

	 	(x)	in respect of Commitments of which the Termination Date has previously been extended, the date which is seven years from the date of this Agreement; and 

  
 22 

	 	(y)	in respect of any other Commitments, the date which is six years or seven years from the date of this Agreement. 

(an “Extension”). 
  

	 	(b)	If the Agent has received an Extension Notice in accordance with paragraph (a) above: 

  

	 	(i)	it shall promptly notify the Lenders of the receipt of that Extension Notice; 

  

	 	(ii)	at the latest on the fifteenth Business Day following the date of the Agent’s notice referred to in paragraph (i) above, each Lender shall notify the Agent of its consent or refusal (which shall be in such
Lender’s sole discretion, and a lack of response by such date being deemed a refusal) to accept the requested Extension in respect of all (and not less than all) of its Commitment (the Lenders consenting to the requested Extension being the
“Accepting Lenders”); 

  

	 	(iii)	at the latest on the eighteenth Business Day following the date of the Agent’s notice referred to in paragraph (i) above, the Agent shall notify the Company of the amount of the aggregate Commitments of the
Accepting Lenders; 

  

	 	(iv)	not later than the third Business Day following the date of the Agent’s notice referred to in paragraph (iii) above, the Company may, by notice to the Agent: 

 

	 	(A)	revoke the relevant Extension Notice (in which case, on the relevant Original Termination Date, each Commitment (for the avoidance of doubt, including the Commitment of Accepting Lenders) shall be cancelled and the
Borrowers shall repay in full each Lender’s participation in any Loans that are outstanding); or 

  

	 	(B)	accept the Extension in respect of the Commitments of all (and not less than all) the Accepting Lenders. 

  

	 	(c)	Provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company has accepted the Extension of the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders in accordance with paragraph (b)(iv) above; and 

  

	 	(ii)	no Event of Default is continuing on the relevant Original Termination Date, 

 then, with
effect as of the Company’s acceptance (but subject in each case to the occurrence of the relevant Original Termination Date in respect of such Commitments), the Termination Date shall be extended in respect of the Commitments of the Accepting
Lenders to: 
  

	 	(A)	(in the case of a request made pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above) the date which is six years after the date of this Agreement; and 

 

	 	(B)	(in the case of a request made pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above): 

  

	 	(x)	in respect of Commitments of which the Termination Date has previously been extended, the date which is seven years from the date of this Agreement; and 

  
 23 

	 	(y)	in respect of any other Commitments, the date which is six years or seven years (as set out in the relevant Extension Notice) from the date of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(d)	For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender which is not an Accepting Lender in respect of an Extension requested pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above, may nevertheless be an Accepting Lender in respect of an Extension requested
pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above (in which case the Termination Date of such Lender’s Commitment shall be extended to the date which is six years or seven years (as set out in the relevant Extension Notice) from the date of this Agreement).

  

	 	(e)	On each relevant Original Termination Date, the Commitment of each Lender who is not an Accepting Lender shall be cancelled and the Borrowers shall repay in full each such Lender’s participation in any Loans that
are outstanding on such date; 

  

	 	(f)	The Borrower may not request more than two Extensions, and only one such request may be made at each of the respective times specified for such purpose in paragraph (a) above. 

 

	 	(g)	Nothing herein shall oblige any Lender to agree to any Extension. 

  

	2.4	Finance Parties’ rights and obligations 

  

	 	(a)	The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under
the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor shall be a
separate and independent debt. 

  

	 	(c)	A Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under the Finance Documents. 

 

	2.5	Designated Entities 

  

	 	(a)	A Lender (the “Related Lender”) may designate one of its Affiliates or a substitute lending office (a “Designated Entity”) as its Facility Office for the purpose of participating in
Loans to Borrowers in a particular jurisdiction. 

  

	 	(b)	An Affiliate or lending office of a Bank may be designated for the purposes of paragraph (a) by: 

  

	 	(i)	appearing in the list of Designated Entities in Schedule 13 (List of Designated Entities) and having executed this Agreement as a Designated Entity; or 

 

	 	(ii)	acceding as a Designated Entity by signing a Designated Entity Accession Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	A Designated Entity does not have any Commitment and does not have any obligations under this Agreement prior to such Designated Entity participating in a Loan. 

  
 24 

	 	(d)	When a Designated Entity participates in a Loan: 

  

	 	(i)	subject to paragraph (e) below, it shall be entitled to all the rights of a Lender and have the corresponding obligations of a Lender, in each case under the Finance Documents, relating to its participation in any
such Loan; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the other parties to the Finance Documents shall treat the Designated Entity as a Lender for these purposes, and the Designated Entity is a Party for these purposes. 

 

	 	(e)	For the purposes only of voting in connection with any Finance Document, the participation of a Designated Entity in any outstanding Loan shall be deemed to be a participation of the Related Lender. 

 

	 	(f)	Any notice or communication to be made to a Designated Entity shall be delivered to the Related Lender in accordance with this Agreement or, where the Related Lender or Designated Entity so request, served directly on
the Designated Entity at the address supplied to the Facility Agent by the Related Lender or the Designated Entity (as the case may be in the relevant Designated Entity Accession Agreement). 

 

	 	(g)	A Designated Entity may transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its participation in any Loan (and the Related Lender may transfer any corresponding Commitment) in accordance with
Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders). 

  

	 	(h)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if: 

  

	 	(i)	a Related Lender designates one of its Affiliates or a substitute lending office as its Facility Office for the purpose of participating in Loans in accordance with this Clause 2.5; and 

 

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the designation of that Designated Entity occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the Related Lender or the Designated Entity under Clause 12 (Tax
gross up and indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased costs), 

 then the Related Lender and the relevant Designated
Entity are only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent (in aggregate) as the Related Lender would have been had the Related Lender not designated a Designated Entity. 

 

	2.6	Obligors’ agent 

  

	 	(a)	Each Obligor (other than the Company) by its execution of this Agreement or an Accession Letter irrevocably appoints the Company to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably
authorises: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower, Utilisation
Requests), to execute on its behalf any Accession Letter, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the
Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and 

  
 25 

	 	(ii)	each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Company, 

and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without
limitation, any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 

 

	 	(b)	Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Company or given to the Company under any Finance Document on behalf
of another Obligor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that
Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Company and any other Obligor, those of the Company shall prevail. 

 

	3.	PURPOSE 

  

	3.1	Purpose 

 Each Borrower shall apply all amounts borrowed by it under the Facility
towards: 
  

	 	(a)	refinancing of all Financial Indebtedness of any member of the Group under the Existing Facility Agreement; and

precedent referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Part I (Conditions Precedent to Initial Utilisation) of Schedule 2, only subject to prior unanimous consent of the Lenders), without prejudice to the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to require
fulfilment of such conditions in whole in respect of any other Utilisation. 

  
 27

 A Borrower may utilise the Facility by delivery to
the Agent of a duly completed Utilisation Request not later than the Specified Time. 
  

	5.2	Completion of a Utilisation Request 

  

	 	(a)	Each Utilisation Request is irrevocable and will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless: 

  

	 	(i)	the proposed Utilisation Date is a Business Day within the Availability Period; 

  

	 	(ii)	the currency and amount of the Utilisation comply with Clause 5.3 (Currency and amount); and 

  

	 	(iii)	the proposed Interest Period complies with Clause 9 (Interest Periods).

	 	(ii)	if the currency selected is US dollars, an amount the Base Currency Amount of which is at least EUR 5,000,000 and which must be an integral multiple of USD 1,000,000 or, if less, the Available Facility.

  

	5.4	Lenders’ participation 

  

	 	(a)	If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met and subject to Clause 6 (Repayment), each Lender shall make its participation in each Loan available by the Utilisation Date through its Facility Office.

  

	 	(b)	The amount of each Lender’s participation in each Loan will be equal to the proportion borne by its Available Commitment to the Available Facility immediately prior to making the Loan. 

 

	 	(c)	The Agent shall determine the Base Currency Amount of each Loan which is to be made in US dollars and shall notify each Lender of the amount, currency and the Base Currency Amount of each Loan and the amount of its
participation in that Loan and, if different, the amount of that participation to be made available in accordance with Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent), in each case by the Specified Time. 

 

	5.5	Cancellation of Commitment 

 The Commitments which, at that time, are unutilised shall be
immediately cancelled at the end of the Availability Period. 

  
 28 

	6.	REPAYMENT 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Borrower which has drawn a Loan shall repay that Loan on the last day of its Interest Period. 

 

	 	(b)	Without prejudice to each Borrower’s obligation under paragraph (a) above, if: 

  

	 	(i)	one or more Loans are to be made available to a Borrower: 

  

	 	(A)	on the same day that a maturing Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower; 

  

	 	(B)	in the same currency as the maturing Loan; and 

  

	 	(C)	in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the proportion borne by each Lender’s participation in the maturing Loan to the amount of that maturing Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender’s participation in the new Loans to the aggregate
amount of those new Loans, 

 the aggregate amount of the new Loans shall, unless the Company notifies the Agent to the
contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Loan so that: 
  

	 	(A)	if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Loans: 

  

	 	(1)	the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and 

 

	 	(2)	each Lender’s participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Loan and that
Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans; and 

  

	 	(B)	if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Loans: 

  

	 	(1)	the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent); and 

  

	 	(2)	each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Loans exceeds that
Lender’s participation in the maturing Loan and the remainder of that Lender’s participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s
participation in the maturing Loan. 

  
 29 

	 	(c)	At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date and will be
treated as separate Loans (the “Separate Loans”) denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding. 

  

	 	(d)	A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this
paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt. 

  

	 	(e)	Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the
Defaulting Lender on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan. 

  

	 	(f)	The terms of this Agreement relating to Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (b) to (e) above, in which case those paragraphs shall
prevail in respect of any Separate Loan. 

  

	7.	PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION 

  

	7.1	Illegality 

 If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender to
perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of a Lender for that Lender to do so: 

 

	 	(a)	that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event; 

  

	 	(b)	upon the Agent notifying the Company, the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and 

  

	 	(c)	each Borrower shall repay that Lender’s participation in the Loans made to that Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan occurring after the Agent has notified the Company or, if earlier, the
date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law). 

  

	7.2	Change of control 

  

	 	(a)	If any person or group of persons acting in concert gains control of the Company: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event; 

  

	 	(ii)	a Lender shall not be obliged to fund a Utilisation (except for a Rollover Loan); 

  

	 	(iii)	a Lender may notify the Company (with a copy to the Agent) that it wishes to discuss and consult with the Company in respect of that change of control; and 

  
 30 

	 	(iv)	if a Lender so requires and notifies the Agent, then, after not less than 15 Business Days but not more than 30 Business Days following the notification made to the Company in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) above,
the Agent shall, by not less than five days notice to the Company, cancel the Commitment of that Lender and declare the participation of that Lender in all outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest, and all other amounts accrued under the
Finance Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon the Commitment of that Lender will be cancelled and all such outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable. 

 

	 	(b)	For the purpose of paragraph (a) above: 

  

	 	(i)	“acting in concert” means a group of persons who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal), actively co-operate, through the acquisition of shares in the Company by any of
them, either directly or indirectly, to obtain or consolidate control of the Company; and 

  

	 	(ii)	“control” in respect of a person shall be construed so as to mean either: 

  

	 	(A)	the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the share capital or similar rights of ownership of that person; or 

  

	 	(B)	the de facto or de iure power to exercise, directly or indirectly, a decisive influence on the designation of a majority of the directors or managers of that person or on the direction of the management
and policies of that person. 

  

	7.3	Voluntary cancellation 

 The Company may, if it gives the Agent not less than three
Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of EUR 10,000,000) of the Available Facility. Any cancellation under this Clause 7.3 shall reduce the
Commitments of the Lenders rateably. 
  

	7.4	Voluntary Prepayment of Loans 

 The Borrower to which a Loan has been made may, if it
gives the Agent not less than three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, prepay the whole or any part of a Loan (but if in part, being an amount that reduces the Base Currency Amount of the
Loan by a minimum amount of EUR 10,000,000). 
  

	7.5	Right of replacement or repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender 

  

	 	(a)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	any sum payable to any Lender by an Obligor is required to be increased under paragraph (c) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up); or 

 

	 	(ii)	any Lender claims indemnification from the Company under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased costs), 

the Company may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the requirement for that increase or indemnification continues, give the Agent notice
of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Loans or give the Agent notice of its intention to replace that Lender in accordance with paragraph
(d) below. 

  
 31 

	 	(b)	On receipt of a notice of cancellation referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero. 

 

	 	(c)	On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the Company has given notice of cancellation under paragraph (a) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Company in that notice), each Borrower to
which a Loan is outstanding shall repay that Lender’s participation in that Loan. 

  

	 	(d)	The Company may, in the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) above, on five Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent and that Lender, replace that Lender by requiring that Lender to (and, to the extent

	8.	INTEREST 

  

	8.1	Calculation of interest 

 The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is
the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of : 
  

	 	(a)	the Applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	(b)	EURIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in US dollars, LIBOR. 

  

	8.2	Payment of interest 

 The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued
interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (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 overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after
judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount
for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent. 

 

	 	(b)	If any overdue amount 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 overdue amount 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 overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be one per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due. 

 

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

  

	8.4	Notification of rates of interest 

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

	9.	INTEREST PERIODS 

  

	9.1	Selection of Interest Periods 

  

	 	(a)	A Borrower (or the Company on behalf of a Borrower) may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan. 

  
 34 

	 	(b)	Subject to this Clause 9, a Borrower (or the Company) may select an Interest Period of one, two, three, six or twelve Months or any other period agreed between the Company and the Agent (acting on the instructions of
all the Lenders). 

  

	 	(c)	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

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). 
  

	10.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 

  

	10.1	Absence of quotations 

 Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if EURIBOR or,
if applicable, LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable EURIBOR or LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the
quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	10.2	Market disruption 

  

	 	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which
is the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the
cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (and, if that rate is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero). 

 

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

  

	 	(i)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period EURIBOR or LIBOR (as applicable) is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate
to the Agent to determine EURIBOR or LIBOR (as applicable) for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	before close of business in Brussels on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders that the cost to it of funding its participation in the relevant Loan
from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR. 

  
 35 

	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. 

 

	10.4	Break Costs 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower shall, within three 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 that Borrower on a day other
than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

	 	(b)	The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three Months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period and, if cancelled in full, on the

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (d) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up)

	 	(c)	No provision of this Agreement shall oblige any Finance Party to claim any Tax Credit in respect of any payment under this Clause 12 in priority to any other credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it.

	 	(b)	If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 12.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender
until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation shall not be invalidated by any
failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 12.5. 

  

	12.6	Stamp taxes

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 Luxembourg registration duties (droits
d’enregistrement) or any Tax payable due to a registration, submission or filing made by any Finance Party at its own initiative in circumstances where such registration, submission or filling would not reasonably be considered to be
required to maintain or preserve the rights of such party under a Finance Document). 
  

	12.7	VAT 

  

	 	(a)	 All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration
for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes 

  
 42 

	 	
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 must
pay to such 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 the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that 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 “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify 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 Relevant 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 Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which 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 Relevant 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 12.7 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. 

  

	 	(e)	In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that
Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply. 

 

	12.8	FATCA Information 

  

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

  

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

  
 43 

	 	(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. 

 

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

  

	 	(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party 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 a Party 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 that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and 

 

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

be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (e). 
  

	 	(f)	Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or
incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. The Agent shall provide any such updated
withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers to the Company. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (f).

makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in

 49 

	17.	GUARANTEE 

  

	17.1	Guarantee 

 Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally: 

 

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all that Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

 

	 	(b)	undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that 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 a Borrower 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 17 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 

 

	17.2	Nature of guarantee 

  

	 	(a)	The obligations of each Guarantor under Clause 17.1 (Guarantee) constitute, and shall be construed so as to constitute, an independent guarantee on first demand (abstracte garantie op eerste verzoek/garantie
indépendante à première demande) and not a surety (borgtocht/caution). To the extent required, the Guarantor hereby waives the application of Articles 2011 through 2039 of the Belgian Civil Code. 

 

	 	(b)	This guarantee is an unconditional, irrevocable and 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. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders), this guarantee has no intuitu personae character. 

  

	17.3	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 each Guarantor under this Clause 17 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	17.4	Waiver of defences 

 The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 17 will not be
affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 17.4, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 17 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including: 

  
 50 

	 	(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 any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any
change in the purpose of, any extension of or any 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. 

  

	17.5	Guarantors’ intent 

 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 17.4 (Waiver
of defences), each 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: 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. 
  

	17.6	Immediate recourse 

 Each 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 that Guarantor under this Clause 17. This waiver applies irrespective of any law
or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 
  

	17.7	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 

  
 51 

	 	
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 received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 17. 

 

	17.8	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 Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will 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 17: 
  

	 	(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 any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 17.1
(Guarantee); 

  

	 	(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 a
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 for the account of 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). 
  

	17.9	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution 

 If any Guarantor (a “Retiring
Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor: 
  

	 	(a)	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the
performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(b)	each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents 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 any Finance Document or of any Security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or any such Security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring
Guarantor. 

  
 52 

	17.10	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. 
  

	17.11	Belgian guarantee limitations 

 The total liability of each Guarantor that is a Belgian
Obligor (other than the Company) under this Clause 17, shall at times be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of: 
  

	 	(a)	the aggregate of: 

  

	 	(i)	any amounts borrowed (or otherwise owed) by it or its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, if any, to the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents; and 

 

	 	(ii)	the aggregate of all loans, advances or facilities made to that Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries by any other member of the Group directly and/or indirectly using all or part of the proceeds under this Agreement
(whether or not such loan, advance or facility is retained by that Guarantor or the relevant Subsidiary for its own purposes or on-lent) at the time the relevant demand is made (without any reduction for any repayment thereof); and

  

	 	(b)	the higher of: 

  

	 	(i)	the aggregate of: 

  

	 	(A)	ninety per cent. of that Guarantor’s net assets (netto-actief/actif net) as referred to in the Belgian Companies Code, as shown by its most recent audited annual financial statements at the date of this
Agreement; and 

  

	 	(B)	an amount equal to any subordinated debt owes at the date of this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the aggregate of: 

  

	 	(A)	ninety per cent. of that Guarantor’s net assets (netto-actief/actif net) as referred to in the Belgian Companies Code, as shown by its most recent audited annual financial statements at the time the relevant
demand is made; and 

  

	 	(B)	an amount equal to any subordinated debt it may owe at the time a demand for payment under this Clause 17 is made. 

  

	17.12	Luxembourg guarantee limitations 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Agreement, the aggregate exposure of each Luxembourg Guarantor under this Clause 17 shall, from time to time, be limited to an amount not exceeding the greater of: 
  

	 	(a)	the aggregate of: 

  
 53 

	 	(i)	any monies directly or indirectly received or to be received by that Guarantor and/or any of its Subsidiaries under the Finance Documents; 

 

	 	(ii)	90 per cent. of that Guarantor’s capitaux propres (as referred to in Article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and
annual accounts of undertakings); and 

  

	 	(iii)	any debt owed by that Guarantor to its Holding Companies (the “Group Debt”), 

as reflected in that Guarantor’s last annual accounts, or last interim accounts, approved by that Guarantor’s general meeting of
shareholders and available on the date payment is requested from that Guarantor under this Clause 17; and 
  

	 	(b)	the aggregate of:

	 	(ii)	90 per cent. of that Guarantor’s net assets, calculated as:

by the president of the Institut Luxembourgeois des Réviseurs d’Entreprises upon request of the Agent; less 

  

	 	(B)	its then outstanding debt other than its Group Debt. 

  

	17.13	United States guarantee limitations 

  

	 	(a)	Each US Obligor and each Finance Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the guarantee under this Clause 17) hereby confirms that it is its intention that the guarantee under this Clause 17 by each US Obligor shall
not constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law.

  

	 	(b)	To effectuate the foregoing intention, each US Obligor and each Finance Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the guarantee under this Clause 17) hereby irrevocably agrees that the maximum aggregate amount of the
obligations for which such US Obligor shall be liable under such guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such US Obligor that are
relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to contribution, whether pursuant to any agreement providing for contribution among such US Obligor and the other Obligors or otherwise, result in such obligations of such US Obligor
not constituting a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance subject to avoidance under such laws. 

  

	 	(c)	 Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally jointly and severally undertakes to provide such
funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any US Obligor to permit such US Obligor to honour all of its obligations under this Clause 17 in respect of Swap Obligations (as defined in paragraph (d) below) (except that each
Qualified ECP 

  
 54 

	 	
Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of such liability that can be incurred hereby without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations under
this paragraph, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Finance Document, as they relate to such Qualified ECP Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).
The obligations of each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor under this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect until the date on which all amounts payable by the Obligors under or in connection with this Agreement and each other
Finance Document have been irrevocably paid in full and all Commitments have been cancelled or otherwise cease to be available. Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed
to constitute, a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of each US Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the US Commodity Exchange Act. 

For the purposes of this paragraph: 

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Obligor that (i) has total assets
exceeding USD10,000,000 at the time the relevant obligations of that Obligor under the guarantee set forth in this Clause 17, or the grant of the relevant security interest, becomes or would become effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, or
(ii) qualifies at such time as an “eligible contract participant” under and as defined in the US Commodity Exchange Act and can cause another person or entity to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time
under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the US Commodity Exchange Act. 
  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement or in any other Finance Document to the contrary, the obligations under this Agreement or under any other Finance Document that are guaranteed by a US Obligor, or are
otherwise secured or supported directly or indirectly by the assets of a US Obligor (determined only after giving effect to any “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of such US Obligor, whether pursuant to the foregoing
paragraph (c) or otherwise), shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations. 

 For the purposes of this paragraph: 

“Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any US Obligor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all
or a part of the guarantee of that US Obligor of, or the grant by that US Obligor of a security interest to secure or support, that Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the US Commodity Exchange Act or any rule,
regulation or order of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such US Obligor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant”
as defined in the US Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee by that US Obligor, or the grant by that US Obligor of Security, becomes effective with respect to that related Swap Obligation. 

“Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any US Obligor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement,
contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the US Commodity Exchange Act. 

  
 55

	23.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

 Subject to this Clause 23, a Lender (the “Existing
Lender”) may transfer by assignment of rights (cessie/cession) and assumption of obligations (schuldoverneming/reprise de dette) (a “transfer”) 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”). 
  

	23.2	Conditions of transfer 

  

	 	(a)	The consent of the Company is required for a transfer by an Existing Lender. 

  

	 	(b)	The consent of the Company to a transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is
expressly refused by that Borrower within that time.

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

  

	 	(ii)	contemplated in Clause 23.7 (Security over Lenders’ rights); or 

  

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

gross up and indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased costs), 

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

 

	 	(g)	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, 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 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.

to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of EUR 2,500. 
  

	23.4	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: 

  

	 	(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 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 from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 23; 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. 

 

	23.5	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Each Finance Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf. 

 

	 	(b)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 23.2 (Conditions of transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (d) below
when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender 

  
 80 

	 	
and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (c) 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. 

  

	 	(c)	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 other
similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

  

	 	(d)	Subject to Clause 23.8 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer 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 (being 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 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 and other Lenders 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 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”. 

  

	23.6	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation to Company 

 The Agent shall, as
soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Increase Confirmation, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation. 

 

	23.7	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 any Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank, except that no such Security shall: 

 

	 	(a)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or 

  
 81 

	 	(b)	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. 

 

	23.8	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 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) 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 23.8, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

  

	24.	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

	 	(a)	The Company may request that a Borrower ceases to be a Borrower by delivering to the Agent a Resignation Letter. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	(in case the resigning Borrower is the Company or Delhaize America, LLC) all the Lenders have consented to the resignation of such Borrower; 

 

	 	(ii)	no Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Letter (and the Company has confirmed this is the case); and 

 

	 	(iii)	the Borrower is under no obligations as a Borrower under any Finance Documents, 

 whereupon
that company shall cease to be a Borrower and shall have no further rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

	 	(a)	Subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Clause 19.9 (“Know your customer” checks), the Company may request that any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries become an
Additional Guarantor. That Subsidiary shall become an Additional Guarantor if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company delivers to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Letter; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part II of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent) in relation to that Additional Guarantor, each in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if that Additional Guarantor is not a Belgian Obligor or a US Obligor, the Finance Documents are amended (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) to reflect the requirements of the laws of the jurisdiction in
which that Additional Guarantor is incorporated or organised. 

  

	 	(b)	The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in Part II of Schedule 2
(Conditions precedent). 

  

	24.5	Repetition of representations 

 Delivery of an Accession Letter constitutes confirmation
by the relevant Subsidiary that the Repeating Representations are true and correct in relation to it as at the date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing. 

  
 83 

	24.6	Resignation of a Guarantor 

  

	 	(a)	The Company may request that a Guarantor (other than the Company) ceases to be a Guarantor by delivering to the Agent a Resignation Letter. 

 

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

	 	(ii)	no other Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Letter (and the Company has confirmed this is the case); and 

 

	 	(iii)	in case the aggregate EBITDA (as defined in Clause 20.1 (Financial definitions)) of the resigning Guarantor and the aggregate gross assets of the resigning Guarantor (calculated on an unconsolidated basis and
excluding all intra-group items and investments in Subsidiaries of any member of the Group) represent 10 per cent or more of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in Clause 20.1 (Financial definitions)) and consolidated gross assets of the
Group, the Majority Lenders have consented to the Company’s request, 

 provided that the conditions set out in
(i) and (iii) above shall not apply if the resignation of the Guarantor results from a disposal permitted pursuant to paragraph (b) of Clause 21.4 (Disposals).

 88 

	 	(i)	the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.8 (FATCA Information) and 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)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.8 (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) a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the

	 	(i)	entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and 

  

	 	(ii)	entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day, 

unless it has received not less than five Business Days’ prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. 
  

	 	(b)	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 e-mail address, address, fax number 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 e-mail address, address, fax number, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 30.2 (Addresses) 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. 

  
 89 

	25.14	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 the Agent and the Arranger 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 member of the Group; 

  

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

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 

 

	 	(d)	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the 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. 

  

	25.15	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 (in consultation with the Company) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (in each case, which accepts to act as a Reference Bank) to replace that Reference Bank.

  

	25.16	Agent’s Management Time 

 Any amount payable to the Agent under Clause 14.3
(Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and expenses) and Clause 25.10 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Agent’s management time or other resources and will be calculated on
the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Company and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 11 (Fees). 

 

	25.17	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. 

  
 90 

	26.	CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES 

 No provision of this Agreement will: 

 

	 	(a)	interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; 

  

	 	(b)	oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or 

 

	 	(c)	oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax. 

 

	27.	SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 

  

	27.1	Payments to Finance Parties 

 If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance
Party”) receives or recovers 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). 

 

	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 

 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. 
  

	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: 

  
 91 

	 	(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

	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 (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance
Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. 

 

	 	(b)	Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank
as the Agent specifies. 

  

	28.2	Distributions by the Agent 

 Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance
Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 28.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 28.4 (Clawback) 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), 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 (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London). 
  

	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 (on the date and 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. 
  

	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 pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph
(a) of the definition of “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

  
 93 

	 	
payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case such payments must be made on the
due date for payment under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that trust account pro rata 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. 

  

	28.6	Partial payments 

  

	 	(a)	If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, 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 unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent under the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement; 

  

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

  

	 	(iv)	fourthly, 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)(ii) to (iv) above. 

  

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

  

	28.7	No set-off by Obligors

	28.8	Business Days 

  

	 	(a)	Any payment which is due to be made on a day 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).

  

	 	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date. 

 

	28.9	Currency of account

	 	(c)	Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued. 

 

	 	(d)	Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred. 

 

	 	(e)	Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency. 

  

	28.10	Change of currency 

  

	 	(a)	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then: 

 

	 	(i)	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country
designated by the Agent (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). 

  

	 	(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. 

  

	28.11	Disruption to Payment Systems etc. 

 If either the Agent determines (in its discretion)
that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Agent is notified by the Company that a Disruption Event has occurred:

necessary in the circumstances;

	 	(d)	any such changes agreed upon by the Agent and the Company shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be,
waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 34 (Amendments and Waivers); 

  
 95 

	 	(e)	the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based
on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 28.11; and 

  

	 	(f)	the Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above. 

  

	29.	SET-OFF 

 A Finance Party may set off any obligation due from an Obligor under the
Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch, maturity 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.

particular, shall survive and remain binding on you until (a) if you become a party to the Agreement as a lender of record, the date on which you become such a party to the Agreement; (b) if you enter into the Acquisition but it does not

Information. 

  

	7.2	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right or remedy under this letter will operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm this letter. No election to affirm this

	7.3	The terms of this letter and your obligations under this letter may only be amended or modified by written agreement between us. 

  

	8.	INSIDE INFORMATION
