	 	(i)	the Total Facility A Commitments shall be the same as immediately before such increase; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Total Facility B Commitments shall equal the aggregate of (A) the amount of the Total Facility B Commitments immediately before such increase plus (B) the aggregate
Additional Commitments (the “Increased Total Facility B Commitments”);

 SECTION 5 
  

COSTS OF UTILISATION 
  

	10.	INTEREST 

  

	10.1	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 the applicable: 
  

	 	(a)	Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	LIBOR or, in the case of a Same-Day Dollar Loan, Reference Bank Rate; and 

  

	 	(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any. 

  

	10.2	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). 
  

	10.3	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), subject to paragraph (b) below, at a rate 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 10.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

  

	 	(b)	If any overdue amount consists of all or a 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 the sum of 1 per cent and 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. 

  

	10.4	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. 
  

	10.5	Minimum Interest 

  
 All payments under this Agreement by an Obligor subject to Tax in Switzerland, including, but not limited to, the rate of interest as determined in
accordance with this Clause 10 (Interest) 

  

 - 43 - 

 
have been computed as minimum payments net of any Swiss withholding tax. If it is required under Swiss law to deduct Swiss withholding tax from any amount
payable or paid by the relevant Obligor on account of interest hereunder, then (a) the relevant Obligor shall increase such interest payment by paying such additional amounts as may be necessary to assure that the net amounts received by the
relevant Finance Party after deducting the amount of such Swiss withholding taxes is equal to the full amount which the relevant Finance Party would have received had payments not been subject to such Swiss withholding tax, (b) withholding tax
shall be calculated on the increased interest rate, and (c) the respective Obligor shall provide the documents and information required for the purposes of applying for the refund of Swiss withholding taxes. Without prejudice to the foregoing,
the provisions set forth in Clause 14 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) shall apply in relation to deductions of Tax. 
  

	11.	INTEREST PERIODS 

  

	11.1	Selection of Interest Periods 

  

	 	(a)	A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of a Borrower) may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been
borrowed) in a Selection Notice. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Selection Notice for a Facility A Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of a Borrower) to which that
Facility A Loan was made not later than the Specified Time. 

  

	 	(c)	If a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent) fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the relevant Interest Period will, subject
to Clause 11.2 (Changes to Interest Periods), be one Month. 

  

	 	(d)	Subject to this Clause 11, a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent) may select an Interest Period of one or two weeks or one, two, three or six Months or any other period agreed
between the Obligors’ Agent and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders). In addition a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) may (in relation to Facility A) select an Interest Period of less than one Month, if
necessary to ensure that there are Facility A Loans (with an aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to or greater than the Repayment Instalment) which have an Interest Period ending on a Facility A Repayment Date for the Borrowers to make the
Repayment Instalment due on that date. 

  

	 	(e)	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date applicable to its Facility. 

  

	 	(f)	Each Interest Period for a Facility A Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date or (if already made) on the last day of its preceding Interest Period. 

  

	 	(g)	A Facility B Loan has one Interest Period only. 

  

	11.2	Changes to Interest Periods 

  

	 	(a)	Prior to determining the interest rate for a Facility A Loan, the Agent may shorten an Interest Period for any Facility A Loan to ensure there are sufficient Facility A Loans with
an Interest Period ending on a Facility A Repayment Date for the Borrowers to make the Repayment Instalment due on that Facility A Repayment Date. 

  

 - 44 - 

	 	(b)	If the Agent makes any of the changes to an Interest Period referred to in this Clause 11.2, it shall promptly notify the Obligors’ Agent and the Lenders.

  

	11.3	Non-Business Days 

  
 If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that
calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not). 
  

	11.4	Consolidation and division of Facility A Loans 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	relate to Facility A Loans in the same currency; and 

  

	 	(ii)	end on the same date; and 

  

	 	(iii)	are made to the same Borrower 

  
 those Facility A Loans will, unless that Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) specifies to the contrary in the Selection Notice for the
next Interest Period, be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Facility A Loan on the last day of the Interest Period. 
  

	 	(b)	Subject to Clause 4.4 (Maximum number of Loans and Optional Currencies) and Clause 5.3 (Currency and amount), if a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf)
requests in a Selection Notice that a Facility A Loan be divided into two or more Facility A Loans, that Facility A Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided with Base Currency Amounts specified in that Selection Notice, being
an aggregate Base Currency Amount equal to the Base Currency Amount of the Facility A Loan immediately before its division.

	12.1	Absence of quotations 

  
 Subject to Clause 12.2 (Market disruption), if interest is calculable by reference to the Reference Bank Rate or 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 Reference Bank Rate or LIBOR, as the case may be, shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the
remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	12.2	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

	 	(i)	the Margin; 

  

	 	(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 

  

 - 45 - 

	 	(iii)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	where interest is calculable by reference to the Reference Bank Rate or at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and
none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine the Reference Bank Rate or LIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan
exceed 35 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR. 

  

	12.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding 

  

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

paid by that Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount and basis of calculation of its Break Costs for any
Interest Period in which they accrue.

	 	(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: 

  

	 	(i)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as

	 	(ii)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received
or receivable) in that jurisdiction, in the case of both (i) and (ii) if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income or profits received or receivable by that Finance Party; or 

  

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

  

	 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 10.5 (Minimum Interest) or Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up); or 

  

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated because of a failure to qualify for such compensation
under paragraph (d) of Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up).

	 	(i)	a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment or payment under Clause 10.5 (Minimum Interest); and 

  

	 	(ii)	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised or retained 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 or the payment under Clause 10.5 (Minimum Interest) not been made by the Obligor. 
  

	14.5 	Stamp taxes 

  
 The Obligors’ Agent shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that

	 	(i)	the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation or application of) any law or regulation; or 

  

	 	(ii)	compliance with any law or regulation, 

  
 made after the Restatement Date. 
  

	 	(b)	In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means: 

  

	 	(i)	a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital; 

  

	 	(ii)	an additional or increased cost; or

	15.3 	Exceptions 

  

	 	(a)	Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is: 

  

	 	(i)	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor; 

  

 - 52 - 

	 	(ii)	compensated for by Clause 10.5 (Minimum Interest) or Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) but was

	 	(iii)	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or 

  

	 	(iv)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation or the gross negligence of the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates.

  

	 	(b)	In this Clause 15.3, a reference to a “Tax Deduction” has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 14.1 (Definitions).

 If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose
of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor 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

	19.10 	Specific limitations for Swiss Guarantors

doubt, any obligation to gross-up pursuant to Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) or to indemnify any Finance Party pursuant to this Agreement) of a Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) as a Guarantor would, at
the time payment is due, under Swiss laws and regulations not be permitted or be of an amount rendering the directors of that Swiss Guarantor personally liable pursuant to Swiss law to any of its creditors as a consequence of paying such amount,
then such payment obligations shall remain limited to the amount permitted to be paid and not triggering such directors’ liability. Such limited amount shall however in no event be less than the unrestricted equity capital surplus (including
the unrestricted portion of general reserves, other free reserves, retained earnings and current net profits) freely available for distribution to the shareholder(s) of that Swiss Guarantor under the Swiss Code of Obligations at the time or times
payment(s) under or pursuant to this Agreement is requested from that Swiss Guarantor, less Swiss withholding tax if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time, at the rate of 35% or such other rate as in force from
time to time. 

  

	 	(b)	If and to the extent at the time a payment from a Swiss Guarantor as Guarantor is demanded such payment is subject to the limitation pursuant to paragraph (a) above and may
only be made as a distribution of profits, then such payment shall only be made upon completion of the following measures to the extent they are from time to time required under Swiss corporate law: 

  

	 	(i)	an audited balance sheet of that Swiss Guarantor has been prepared; 

  

 - 59 - 

	 	(ii)	the auditors of that Swiss Guarantor have approved the amount of the proposed payment based on applicable Swiss corporate law and the articles of association;

	 	(iv)	the shareholders of that Swiss Guarantor must properly be convened (or all shareholders must be present) and vote in favour of the payment of the amount under the guarantee given by
that Swiss Guarantor. 

  

	 	(c)	Each Swiss Guarantor and each immediate Holding Company of each Swiss Guarantor and the Parent undertake to taken and/or cause all measures necessary or useful, as the case may be,
to implement the foregoing documents and other acts referred to in paragraph (b) above. 

  
 Subject only to the foregoing, such payments to be made by a Swiss Guarantor under this guarantee shall be timely made in full as provided for in this
Agreement. 
  

	19.11 	Specific Provision for U.S. Guarantors 

  
 Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Clause 19 or any other term in this Agreement or any Finance Document, if any U.S. federal or state
fraudulent conveyance laws are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of a U.S. Guarantor hereunder, such U.S. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to the maximum aggregate amount of
the obligations that would not render such U.S. Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable U.S. federal or state fraudulent conveyance laws.

 - 85 - 

	 	(ii)	if any hedging transaction under any Hedging Agreement to which any Obligor is a party is terminated prior to the Security Release Date and a settlement amount or other amount falls

provisions of that Hedging Agreement, 

  
 if, in
either case, that would be inconsistent with the requirements of this Clause 23.9. 
  

	 	(b)	Each Hedging Bank undertakes that it will not (unless the Majority Creditors have otherwise consented in writing) demand (other than as may be necessary in order to exercise any
right to terminate or close out any hedging transaction as provided in and permitted under paragraph (c) below) payment, prepayment or repayment of, or any distribution in respect of, or on account of, any of the obligations of the relevant
Obligor to it under any Hedging Agreement to which it is party in cash or in kind except: 

  

	 	(i)	for scheduled payments arising under the original terms of any Hedging Agreement to which it is party (without regard to any amendments made after the date of such Hedging Agreement

hedging transaction under any Hedging Agreements to which it is party prior to its

stated maturity (whether by reason of the Obligor counterparty becoming a Defaulting Party or Affected Party thereunder (each as defined therein) or
otherwise) unless:

	 	(iii)	the Agent has served a notice under Clause 24.18 (Acceleration); or 

  

	 	(iv)	all Loans have been prepaid or repaid in full and the Lenders are no longer under any obligation to participate in further Loans; or

terminate or close out that element of the hedging transaction (if any) which corresponds to the amount so prepaid; or

	 	(d)	Each Hedging Bank will, promptly after the Agent has served a notice under Clause 24.18 (Acceleration), exercise any and all rights it may have to terminate the hedging
transactions under each Hedging Agreement to which it is party, unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Creditors) otherwise agrees or requires. 

  

	 	(e)	Each Hedging Bank agrees that (unless the Majority Creditors have otherwise agreed in writing) it will not enforce any Transaction Security or require any other person to enforce
the same in respect of amounts owing under any Hedging Agreement to which it is party.

	 	(b)	 The Parent shall ensure that (taking into account paragraph (e) below) at all times the aggregate (without double counting) of (i) EBITDA of the
Guarantors (“Guarantor EBITDA”) and (ii) gross assets of the Guarantors (determined in each case by 

  

 - 96 - 

	 	 
reference to the most recent annual unconsolidated financial statements of each of the Guarantors delivered pursuant to Clause 21.1 (Financial
Statements) and, prior to the first such financial statements being so delivered, by reference to the most recent annual unconsolidated financial statements of each of the Guarantors) shall equal or exceed 75 per cent. of (as appropriate)

	 	(c)	Within 110 days after the last day of each of its financial years (commencing with its financial year ended 31 December 2005) the Parent shall deliver to the Agent:

  

	 	(i)	a certificate addressed to the Agent signed by two directors or equivalent officers of the Parent confirming that the Parent is in compliance with paragraph (b) above and
paragraph (f) below in relation to the financial year of the Parent ending immediately prior to the delivery of such certificate; or 

  

	 	(ii)	duly executed Accession Letter(s) in relation to a Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) of the Parent acceding as Guarantor(s) together with the documents and other evidence set out in Part
II of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent), each in a form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, such Subsidiary (or Subsidiaries) to be such that, if taken into account as a Guarantor (or Guarantors) for the purposes of determining
compliance with paragraph (b) above in relation to the financial year of the Parent ending immediately prior to the delivery of such documents, would result in the Parent being in compliance with such paragraph (b) in respect of such
financial year. 

  

	 	(d)	For these purposes, the calculation of Guarantor EBITDA and gross assets shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in relation to any Guarantor shall be made on an
unconsolidated basis and Guarantor EBITDA shall be calculated on the same basis as EBITDA in Clause 22.1 (Financial definitions) but adjusted so that it is on an unconsolidated basis applicable to the relevant Guarantor only.

  

	 	(e)	The Parent shall not be required to meet any of the requirements of paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above or (f) or (g) below to the extent that it satisfies the
Agent (acting reasonably) that it (or a relevant Subsidiary which would otherwise meet such requirements) cannot meet such requirements: 

  

	 	(i)	by reason of legal or regulatory impediment which are beyond its or any member of the Group’s control (acting reasonably) (including, but not limited to, prohibitions relating
to financial assistance or lack of corporate benefit); or 

  

	 	(ii)	without becoming liable to pay taxes, duties or other amounts which are disproportionate to the value or practical benefit of the Security or guarantee; or 

 

	 	(iii)	 because directors of the relevant Subsidiary would be subject to (a) a material risk of civil liability or (b) a reasonably possible risk of any criminal
liability 

  

 - 97 - 

	 	 
based on the advice of its legal counsel if such Subsidiary was to provide a guarantee and/or Security for the Facilities; or 

 

	 	(iv)	in the case of any Non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, by reason of any applicable restriction contained in any relevant constitutional document, shareholders’ agreement, joint
venture agreement or similar agreement. 

  
 The
Parent shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that relevant members of the Group do all that is necessary (including, without limitation, following the procedures set out in sections 155-158 of the Companies Act 1985 or equivalent whitewash
procedures) in order to ensure that such relevant members of the Group can become Additional Guarantors. 
  

	 	(f)	The Parent shall ensure that (taking into account paragraph (e) above and paragraphs (g) and (h) below) at all times prior to the Security Release Date Guarantors
required to meet the requirements of paragraph (b) above have each provided Transaction Security in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that all such Transaction Security remains, subject to the provisions of the Finance
Documents, in place until released on the Security Release Date or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(g)	If required by the Agent (and to the extent permitted under applicable law), each entity which is to become an Additional Obligor prior to the Security Release Date shall enter into
Security Documents(s) in favour of the Security Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties (or, if applicable, directly in favour of the Finance Parties) over all its assets, business and undertaking as Security for all indebtedness under the
Finance Documents, such Security to provide (to the extent permissible and practicable under applicable law) equivalent security over such assets, business and undertaking (together “Relevant Assets”) as granted to the Security
Agent (or, as applicable, the Finance Parties) by Group Companies with similar Relevant Assets incorporated in the same jurisdiction as such Additional Obligor and, if such Additional Obligor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in which no other Group
Company incorporated in that jurisdiction with similar Relevant Assets has granted Security. The Security Documents shall be in such form and substance as (following consultation with the Obligors’ Agent) may be reasonably required by the Agent
(having due regard to the practicality and costs involved in taking any such Security). 

  

	 	(h)	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (g) above, if a proposed Additional Obligor is required to become an Additional Guarantor prior to the Security Release Date as a
result of the provisions of paragraph (a) above and without such Additional Obligor providing Transaction Security other Guarantors which together satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b) above have all provided Transaction Security in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which Transaction Security continues to remain in place) then such proposed Additional Obligor shall not be required to give any Transaction Security. 

  

	 	(i)	 As soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Security Agent of a request from the Parent after the Security Release Date, the Security Agent and
each other Finance Party to whom an Obligor has granted Transaction Security (the 

  

 - 98 - 

	 	 
“Security Beneficiaries”) shall release without recourse or warranty the Charged Property held by the Obligors from the Transaction Security and
shall execute any assignments, transfers, releases or other documents and make all filings that are necessary to release the Charged Property from the Transaction Security. The Security Agent shall at the request of the Obligors’ Agent issue
certificates of non crystallization of any floating charges granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 

  

	 	(j)	From and including the Security Release Date, no entity that becomes an Additional Obligor pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) above shall be required to grant Security
over any of its assets, business or undertaking for the Secured Obligations.

Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Parent within that time. For the avoidance of doubt, it will be reasonable for the Parent to refuse to give its consent if the New Lender is not a Qualifying Lender pursuant
to paragraph (a)(i)(A) of the definition of Qualifying Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

	 	(i)	receipt by the Agent 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)	performance by the Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out 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.

	 	(f)	If: 

  

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

  

 - 107 - 

	 	(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 10.5 (Minimum Interest) or Clause 14 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or Clause 15 (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 assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 
  

	25.3	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 £1,000.

	 	(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 25; or 

  

 - 108 - 

	 	(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.

  

	25.5	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (b) 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.

	 	(c)	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 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 Security 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 Security Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall
each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

 Each Finance Party undertakes with each Obligor to keep confidential and not to disclose to anyone any information (including projections) relating to the

	 	(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; and 

  

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

  

	27.16 	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 Parent) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

	27.17 	Insurance by Security Agent 

  
 The Security Agent shall not be under any obligation to insure any of the Charged Property, to require any other person to maintain any insurance or to
verify any obligation to arrange or maintain insurance contained in the Finance Documents. The Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by any person as a result of the lack of or inadequacy of any such insurance.
Where the Security Agent is named on any insurance policy as an insured party, it shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by reason of, directly or indirectly, its failure to notify the insurers of any material fact relating to
the risk assumed by such insurers or any other information of any kind, unless any Finance Party shall have requested it to do so in writing and the Security Agent shall have failed to do so within fourteen days after receipt of that request.

  

	27.18 	Manner of enforcement of Security 

  
 Each of the Obligors waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, all rights it may otherwise have to require that the Transaction Security be
enforced in any particular order or manner or at any particular time or that any sum received or recovered from any person, or by virtue of the enforcement of any Transaction Security or any other Security, which is capable of being applied in or
towards discharge of any of the Secured Obligations is so applied. 
  

	27.19 	Winding-up of Trust and Perpetuity Period 

  
 If the Security Agent, with the approval of the Majority Lenders, determines that (a) all of the Secured Obligations and all other obligations
secured by any of the Security Documents, have been fully and finally discharged and (b) none of the Finance Parties is under any commitment, obligation or liability (whether actual or contingent) to make Loans or provide other financial
accommodation to any Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents, the trusts set out in this Agreement shall be wound up. At that time unless already released on the Security Release Date, the Security Agent shall release, without recourse or
warranty, all of the Transaction Security then held by it and the rights of the Security Agent under each of the Security Documents, at which time each of the Security Agent, the Agent, the Finance Parties and the Obligors shall be released from its
obligations in respect of these trusts and the Transaction Security (save for those which arose prior to such winding-up). The perpetuity period under 

  

 - 119 - 

 
the rule against perpetuities, if applicable to this Agreement, shall be the period of eighty years from the date of this Agreement. 
  

	27.20 	Other Provisions relating to Security Agent 

  

	 	(a)	The Security Agent shall be entitled to carry out all dealings with the Finance Parties through the Agent, to give to the Agent any notice or other communication required to be
given by the Security Agent to the Finance Parties and to rely on a certificate from the Agent as to the amount owed to any of the Finance Parties or by any Obligor. 

  

	 	(b)	The Security Agent may place (at the cost of the Obligors) any of the Finance Documents and any other documents relating to the Transaction Security in any safe custody selected by
the Security Agent or with any financial institution, any company whose business includes the safe custody of documents or any firm of lawyers of good repute and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for, or be required to insure against, any
loss incurred in connection with that deposit. 

  

	 	(c)	The Security Agent may accept without enquiry, and shall not be obliged to investigate, such right and title as each of the Obligors may have to any of the Charged Property and
shall not be liable for or bound to require any Obligor to remedy any defect in its right or title. 

  

	 	(d)	The Security Agent may refrain from doing anything which in its opinion will or may be contrary to any relevant law, directive or regulation of any jurisdiction which would or might
otherwise render it liable to any person, and the Security Agent may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation. 

  

	27.21 	Delegation and Additional Trustees 

  

	 	(a)	The Security Agent may at any time delegate by power of attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any of the rights, powers and discretions vested in it by any of
the Finance Documents and such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions (including the power to sub-delegate) and subject to such restrictions as the Security Agent may think fit in the interest of the Finance Parties and it shall not
be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any misconduct or default on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate; and 

  

	 	(b)	The Security Agent may at any time appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with it (a) if it considers such
appointment to be in the interests of the Finance Parties or (b) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions which the Security Agent deems to be relevant or (c) for obtaining or enforcing any
judgement in any jurisdiction, and the Security Agent shall give prior notice to the Obligors’ Agent and the Agent of any such appointment. Any person so appointed (subject to the terms of this Agreement) shall have such rights, powers and
discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement) and such duties and obligations as are conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The remuneration the Security Agent may pay to any such person, and any
costs and expenses incurred by such person in performing its functions pursuant to that appointment shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be treated as costs and expenses incurred by the Security Agent. 

  

 - 120 - 

	28.	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. 

  

	29.	SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 

  

	29.1	Payments to Lenders 

  
 If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 30
(Payment mechanics) 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 30 (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 30.5 (Partial payments). 

  

	29.2	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) in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments). 
  

	29.3	Recovering Lender’s rights 

  

	 	(a)	On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have
shared in the redistribution. 

  

	 	(b)	 If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor shall be liable to the
Recovering 

  

 - 121 - 

	 	 
Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 

  

	29.4	Reversal of redistribution 

  
 If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party,
then: 
  

	 	(a)	each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to
the Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to 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); and 

  

	 	(b)	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Finance
Party for the amount so reimbursed. 

  

	29.5	Exceptions 

  

	 	(a)	This Clause 29 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 the other Finance Parties of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the 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 or did
not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings. 

  

	 	(c)	This Clause 29 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is a Bilateral Bank or a Hedging Bank and the amounts recovered are amounts which are owing under a
Bilateral Facility or, as the case may be, a Hedging Agreement and are received at a time when no notice has been served by the Agent under Clause 24.18 (Acceleration).

 SECTION 11 
  

ADMINISTRATION 
  

	30.	PAYMENT MECHANICS 

  

	30.1	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. 

  

	30.2	Distributions by the Agent 

  
 Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 30.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and
Clause 30.4 (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). 
  

	30.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

  
 The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 31 (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. 
  

	30.4	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. 

  

	30.5	Partial payments 

  

	 	(a)	 Save in the circumstances described in paragraph (c) below, if the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and
payable by an 

  

 - 123 - 

	 	 
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, the Security Agent and the Arranger under the Finance Documents;

  

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest 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)	If after the service of a notice by the Agent under Clause 24.18 (Acceleration) or pursuant to the provisions of Clause 30.10 (Application of Proceeds by Security
Agent) the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor or a Bilateral Borrower (other than an Obligor) under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the
obligations of that Obligor or Bilateral Borrower (other than an Obligor), as the case may be, 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, the Security Agent and the Arranger under the Finance Documents;

  

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest or commission due but unpaid under the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under the Finance Documents (including without limitation provisions of cash cover in respect of
contingent liabilities and payments due under the Bilateral Facilities and Hedging Agreements); and 

  

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

  
 provided that the amount applied by the Agent in respect of the obligations
of the Bilateral Borrowers incorporated in the U.S. shall not exceed the aggregate amount received by the Agent from, or in respect of the assets of, the Obligors incorporated in the U.S. 
  

	 	(d)	The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Creditors, vary the order set out in paragraphs (c)(ii) to (iv) above provided that any such variation shall be subject to the
proviso to paragraph (c) of Clause 30.5 (Partial Payments). 

  

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

  

 - 124 - 

	30.6 	No set-off by Obligors 

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

	30.7 	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 an Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal at the rate payable on the original due
date. 

  

	30.8 	Currency of account 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraphs (b) to (e) below, the Base Currency is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document.

  

	 	(b)	A repayment of a Loan or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Loan or Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date.

  

	 	(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. 

  

	 	(f)	For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the Secured Obligations the Security Agent may convert any moneys received or recovered by it from one currency to another, at
the spot rate at which the Security Agent is able to purchase the currency in which the Secured Obligations are due with the amount received. The obligations of any Obligor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied to the extent of the
amount of the due currency purchased after deducting the costs of conversion. 

  

	30.9 	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 Parent); 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). 

  

 - 125 - 

	 	(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 Parent) specifies to be necessary,
be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 

  

	30.10 	Application of Proceeds by Security Agent 

  
 All moneys from time to time received or recovered by the Security Agent or Receiver (a) in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or
any part of the Transaction Security or (b) pursuant to a Recovery by a Relevant Bilateral Bank pursuant to Clause 30.15 (Equalisation Payments) shall be held by the Security Agent on trust to apply them as soon as the Security
Agent in its sole discretion determines to be reasonably practicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law (subject to the provisions of this Clause and notwithstanding any purported appropriation by any Obligor), in the following order of
priority: 
  

	 	(a)	in discharging any sums owing to the Security Agent (in its capacity as trustee), any Receiver or any Delegate; 

  

	 	(b)	in payment to the Agent, on behalf of the Finance Parties, for application towards the discharge of all sums due and payable by any Obligor or Bilateral Borrower (other than an
Obligor) under any of the Finance Documents in the order set out in paragraph (c) of Clause 30.5 (Partial Payments); 

  

	 	(c)	if none of the Obligors or Bilateral Borrowers (other than Obligors), is under any further actual or contingent liability under any Finance Document, in payment to any person to
whom the Security Agent is obliged to pay in priority to any Obligor or Bilateral Borrower (other than an Obligor); and 

  

	 	(d)	the balance, if any, in payment to the relevant Obligor. 

  

	30.11 	Investment of Proceeds by Security Agent 

  
 Prior to the application of the proceeds of the Transaction Security in accordance with Clause 30.10 (Application of Proceeds by Security Agent)
the Security Agent may, at its discretion, hold all or part of those proceeds in an interest bearing suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of the Security Agent or Agent with such financial institution (including itself) for so long as the
Security Agent shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending the application from time to time of those monies at the Security Agent’s discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 30. 

 

	30.12 	Permitted Deductions by Security Agent 

  
 Prior to the Security Release Date the Security Agent shall be entitled (a) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and (b) to
make and pay, any deductions and withholdings (on account of Taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, and to pay all Taxes which may be
assessed against it in respect of any of the Charged Property, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Security Agent under any 

  

 - 126 - 

 
of the Finance Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement). 
  

	30.13 	Discharge of Secured Obligations 

  
 Each of the Obligors agrees that the Secured Obligations shall only be discharged to the extent of the receipts by or recoveries of the Security Agent
pursuant to the enforcement of the Transaction Security. Any payment to be made in respect of the Secured Obligations by the Security Agent may be made to the Agent and any payment so made shall be a good discharge to the extent of such payment, to
the Security Agent. 
  

	30.14 	Sums received by Obligors 

  
 If any of the Obligors receives any sum which, pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, should have been paid to the Security Agent, that sum shall be
held by that Obligor on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly be paid to the Security Agent for application in accordance with this Clause. 
  

	30.15 	Equalisation Payments 

  
 If at any time after the delivery of a notice by the Agent under Clause 24.18 (Acceleration) any Relevant Bilateral Bank makes a Recovery in
respect of any sum owed by the relevant Bilateral Borrower whether directly or by set-off or by any other means which, if such sum had been recovered by the Relevant Bilateral Bank from an Obligor, would have fallen to be dealt with under Clause
30.10 (Application of Proceeds by Security Agent) then: 
  

	 	(a)	such Relevant Bilateral Bank will notify details of such Recovery to the Security Agent within 3 Business Days; 

  

	 	(b)	the Security Agent will then determine in good faith the amount by which such Recovery exceeds the amount which such Relevant Bilateral Bank would have received had such Recovery
been affected by the Security Agent from an Obligor pursuant to the Security Documents and applied as provided in Clause 29.10 (Application of Proceeds by Security Agent); 

  

	 	(c)	such Relevant Bilateral Bank will pay an amount equal to the excess to the Security Agent, retaining the balance in pro tanto satisfaction of the amount due to it;

  

	 	(d)	the Security Agent shall treat the excess as if it were a Recovery from an Obligor pursuant to the relevant Security Documents and shall deal with it in accordance with Clause 29.10
(Application of proceeds by Security Agent) (taking into account the amount withheld by the Relevant Bilateral Bank in paragraph (c) above). 

  

	31.	SET-OFF 

  
 Save as otherwise provided in Clause 23.9 (Hedging Arrangements) or Clause 23.10 (Bilateral Facilities), whilst an Event of Default is
continuing a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor,
regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the
purpose of the set-off.

neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired. 
  

	35.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS 

  
 No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any of the Finance Parties or the Arranger, any right or remedy under the Finance
Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are

 SCHEDULE 4 
  

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”)
for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each
Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage
will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum
reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office. 

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

			
	AB + C(B – D) + E x 0.01	  	 per cent. per annum

	100 – (A + C)	  	 

  

	 	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling: 

  

			
	E x 0.01	  	 per cent. per annum.

	300	  	 

  
 Where: 
  

	 	A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash
ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 

  

	 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of
Clause 10.3 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 

  

	 	C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

  

 - 145 - 

	 	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 

  

	 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the
Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998
or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in
respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required
pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and 

  

	 	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

  

	6.	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 

  

	7.	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable
by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee
Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

  

	8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall
supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	 	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

  

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
  

	9.	 The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the
Agent based upon 

  

 - 146 - 

	 	 
the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each
Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

  

	10.	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume
that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 

  

	11.	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the
information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 

  

	12.	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 

  

	13.	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this
Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces
all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
