Schedule 4

Disclosures

		
	1.
	Clause 18.35    Tax Returns and Payments

Tax Returns and Payments. The Borrower operates in various U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. The process of determining its anticipated tax liabilities involves many calculations and estimates which are inherently complex. The Borrower believes that it has complied in all material respects with its obligations to pay taxes in these jurisdictions. However, its position is subject to review and possible challenge by the taxing authorities of these jurisdictions. If the applicable taxing authorities were to challenge successfully its current tax positions, or if there were changes in the manner in which the Borrower conducts its activities, the Borrower could become subject to material unanticipated tax liabilities. It may also become subject to additional tax liabilities as a result of changes in tax laws, which could in certain circumstances have a retroactive effect.

		
	(i)
	The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is currently auditing the income tax returns of the Borrower’s Canadian subsidiary for the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2016. The Borrower is in the process of collecting information and responding to questions from the Canada Revenue Agency.  

		
	(ii)
	Except for the Canadian tax audits, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries are currently under audit; however, numerous tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities. 

		
	(iii)
	The Borrower’s Worlds’ End Subsidiary has not timely filed with its taxing authority its income tax returns as the statutory audits of the underlying financial statements have not been completed.

2.    Clause 18.37 

The 5% Notes and Old 8% Notes were converted into equity in accordance with their terms.

	relate to Loans; and

		
	(b)
	end on the same date,

those Loans will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan on the last day of the Interest Period.

		
	10.
	Changes to the Calculation of Interest

		
	10.1
	Unavailability of Screen Rate

		
	(a)
	Interpolated Screen Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for the Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable LIBOR shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.

		
	(b)
	Reference Bank Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for: 

		
	(i)
	Dollars; or

		
	(ii)
	the Interest Period of a Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate, 

the applicable LIBOR shall be the Reference Bank Rate as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Quotation Day for Dollars and for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.
		
	10.2
	Absence of Quotations

Subject to Clause 10.3 (Market Disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined on the basis of a Reference Bank Rate but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Quotation Day, the Reference Bank Rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.
		
	10.3
	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

82
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(ii)
	the rate notified to the BPIFAE 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.

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

		
	(i)
	if paragraph (b) of Clause 10.1 (Unavailability of Screen Rate) applies but no Reference Bank Rate is available for Dollars or the relevant Interest Period;

		
	(ii)
	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period none or only one (1) of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the BPIFAE Agent to determine LIBOR for Dollars for the relevant Interest Period; or

		
	(iii)
	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the BPIFAE Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed thirty per cent. (30%) of that Loan) that the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR.

		
	10.4
	Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding

		
	(a)
	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the BPIFAE Agent or the Borrower so requires, the BPIFAE Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) 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 Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

		
	(c)
	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and:

		
	(i)
	a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than LIBOR; or

		
	(ii)
	a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph (a)(ii) of Clause 10.3 (Market Disruption),

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a)(ii) of Clause 10.3 (Market Disruption), to be LIBOR.
		
	10.5
	Break Costs

		
	(a)
	The Borrower shall, within three (3) 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 the 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 BPIFAE Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

83

	(b)
	The BPIFAE Insurance Premia is due and payable in full to the BPIFAE Agent (for the account of BPIFAE) on the Utilisation Date for the first Utilisation and such amounts have been paid by the Borrower.  

85

	(b)
	Loans made under a Facility on account of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia shall be included in the principal amount of a Facility and repaid to the BPIFAE Agent in accordance with the relevant provisions in this Agreement and the Borrower shall pay interest on such amount at the rates determined under, and in accordance with, Clause 8 (Interest) and repay such amount together with all other principal as stated in Clause 6.1 (Repayment).

		
	(c)
	For the avoidance of doubt, the BPIFAE 2013 Deferred Fee Premium shall not be financed by the proceeds of either Facility.

	(a)
	The Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to pay one hundred per cent. (100%) of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia and the BPIFAE 2013 Deferred Fee Premium as and when they arise is absolute and unconditional.  

		
	(b)
	If the BPIFAE Insurance Premia due and payable is not financed or paid out of any Loans under this Agreement or if the undrawn amount under a Facility is not sufficient to finance one hundred per cent. (100%) of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia due to BPIFAE under the BPIFAE Insurance Policy, the Borrower shall pay directly to the BPIFAE Agent the amount of any such BPIFAE Insurance Premia not so financed or paid.

		
	(c)
	Subject to Clause 12.3(d) below, as of the date of this Agreement the premia due to BPIFAE in respect of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia shall be calculated at a rate estimated to be six point sixty eight per cent. (6.68%), and in an estimated amount being the aggregate of:

		
	(i)
	US$35,272,276 in respect of Facility A; and

		
	(ii)
	US$1,442,880 in respect of Facility B.

		
	(d)
	The BPIFAE Agent will only be notified of the actual amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia on the date of final issuance of each BPIFAE Insurance Policy. 

		
	(e)
	Following receipt of each BPIFAE Insurance Policy, the BPIFAE Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the actual amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia.  If the actual 

86
	
			
	 
	 
	 

amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia is greater than the estimated amount set out in paragraph (c) above, the Borrower shall be obliged to make payment of the actual amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia.  Accordingly, the estimated amount provided in Clauses 3.1(c) (Payment of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia) and 3.2(b) (Payment of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia) shall be automatically increased or reduced by the amounts required to ensure the payment of the premiums after adjustment by BPIFAE, which would result in an increase or reduction by a corresponding amount in the Total Commitments subject to available Commitments).  
		
	(f)
	[Intentionally omitted]

		
	(g)
	Notwithstanding the above, a minimum premium being, as of the date of this Agreement, in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of €1,515 shall be paid to BPIFAE by the Borrower in respect of each BPIFAE Insurance Policy upon the execution of the relevant BPIFAE Insurance Policy.  Such amounts shall remain the property of BPIFAE and are accordingly payable by the Borrower to BPIFAE in any event.

	Subject to paragraph (i) below, the Borrower shall not be entitled to claim any credit or reimbursement of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia or the BPIFAE 2013 Deferred Fee Premium, including in the event of a cancellation, an acceleration or a prepayment of any Loan under this Agreement.

		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding paragraph (h) above and subject to paragraph (j) below:

		
	(i)
	with respect to any partial cancellation of any undisbursed amount of a Facility; and/or

		
	(ii)
	immediately following the end of the Availability Period, where an Available Commitment remains outstanding,

the Borrower shall be entitled to submit a request to the BPIFAE Agent for reimbursement of any proportionate amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia, in an amount up to one hundred per cent. (100%) of the total amount of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia, which relates to such cancelled amount of any undisbursed portion of a Facility and/or outstanding Available Commitment referred to in paragraphs (i)(i) and (ii) above, as the case may be, in each case such amount to be subject to the approval of the BPIFAE Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (i) does not apply to the BPIFAE 2013 Deferred Fee Premium.
		
	(j)
	No reimbursement of the BPIFAE Insurance Premia pursuant to paragraph (i) above shall be made by the BPIFAE Agent if:

		
	(i)
	a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

		
	(ii)
	the BPIFAE Agent has not received funds from BPIFAE in an amount equal to the BPIFAE Insurance Premia to be reimbursed.

		
	(k)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that the Borrower has paid the BPIFAE Insurance Premia on or around Financial Close.  This paragraph (k) does not apply to the BPIFAE 2013 Deferred Fee Premium.

	13.
	Tax gross‐up and Indemnities

		
	13.1
	Tax Gross‐up

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

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

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

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

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

		
	(f)
	A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (c) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

		
	(i)
	the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement:

		
	(A)
	in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant authority; or

		
	(B)
	in the circumstance of the Borrower; or

		
	(ii)
	the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (g) below.

		
	(g)
	Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any Withholding Forms as requested by the Borrower that may be necessary to establish an exemption from withholding of US federal income taxes.

88
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	13.2
	Tax Indemnity

		
	(a)
	The Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the BPIFAE Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

		
	(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 resident for tax purposes; or

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

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party or to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
		
	(A)
	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.1 (Tax Gross‐up); 

		
	(B)
	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.1 (Tax Gross‐up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (f) of Clause 13.1 (Tax Gross‐up) applied; or

		
	(C)
	relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

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

		
	(d)
	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause 13.2, notify the BPIFAE Agent.

		
	13.3
	Tax Credit

If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:
		
	(a)
	a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

		
	(b)
	that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after‐Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Borrower provided that,

89
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(i)
	any Finance Party may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Finance Party, whether to seek a Tax Credit;

		
	(ii)
	if such Tax Credit is subsequently disallowed or reduced, the Borrower shall indemnify the Finance Party for such amount; and

		
	(iii)
	nothing in this Clause 13.3 shall require a Finance Party to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).

		
	13.4
	Stamp Taxes

The Borrower shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.
		
	13.5
	Value Added Tax

		
	(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 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 the 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)
	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.

		
	(c)
	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.

		
	13.6
	Lender Status Confirmation

Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the BPIFAE Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:
(a)    not a Qualifying Lender; or
(b)    a Qualifying Lender.

90
	
			
	 
	 
	 

 If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 13.6 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 BPIFAE Agent which category applies (and the BPIFAE Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower).  For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 13.6.

		
	13.7
	FATCA Information

		
	(a)
	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

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

		
	(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 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 Clause 13.7(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 if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

		
	(e)
	If the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or where the BPIFAE Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

		
	(i)
	where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

91
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(ii)
	where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date; or

		
	(iii)
	where the Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the BPIFAE Agent,   

supply to the BPIFAE Agent:
		
	(A)
	a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or

		
	(B)
	any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the BPIFAE Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.

The BPIFAE Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e) to the Borrower and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification.  The BPIFAE Agent shall not 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 BPIFAE 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 BPIFAE Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  The BPIFAE Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers to the Borrower.  The BPIFAE Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (f).

		
	13.8
	FATCA Deduction 

		
	(a)
	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it 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 addition, shall notify the Borrower, the BPIFAE Agent and the other Finance Parties.

		
	14.

	14.1
	Increased Costs

92
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(a)
	Subject to Clause 14.3 (Exceptions) the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of a demand by the BPIFAE Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of:

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

		
	(ii)
	compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; or

		
	(iii)

	(b)
	Each Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favourable tax treatment) and all other Applicable Laws, except where any failure to comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate.

		
	(c)
	Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust related to such plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, taking into account all applicable tax law changes, and nothing has occurred since the date of each such determination that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of an Employee Benefit Plan with no determination, nothing has occurred that would materially adversely affect the issuance of a favourable determination by the Internal Revenue Service or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification).

		
	(d)
	No liability has been incurred by any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan except for a liability that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of such Obligor or ERISA Affiliate.

		
	(e)
	Except where the failure of any of the following representations to be correct in all material respects would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate, no Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate has:

	engaged in a non‐exempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

	incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding, or reasonably expects to incur any such liability other than the payment of premiums and there are no premium payments which are within the applicable time limits prescribed by Applicable Law, due and unpaid;

	(f)
	No ERISA Termination Event, which individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.

		
	(g)
	Except where the failure of any of the following representations to be correct in all material respects would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate, no proceeding, claim (other than a benefits claim in the ordinary course), lawsuit and/or investigation is 

101
	
			
	 
	 
	 

existing or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower after due inquiry, threatened concerning or involving any:
		
	(i)
	employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) currently maintained or contributed to any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate;

		
	(ii)
	Pension Plan; or

		
	(iii)
	Multiemployer Plan.

		
	(h)
	There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Pension Plan, except for any such Unfunded Pension Liability that individually or together with any other positive Unfunded Pension Liabilities with respect to any Pension Plans, is not reasonably expected to result in a material liability of any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate.

		
	(i)
	If each Obligor and each ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw in a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans as of the date this assurance is given or deemed given, the aggregate withdrawal liability that would be incurred would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of any Obligor or ERISA Affiliate.

		
	(j)
	No Pension Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 or 304 of ERISA.  No Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4062(e) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Pension Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions.  No Lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any Pension Plan.  No Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has any liability under Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

	the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in excess of five (5) Business Days commencing on the day upon which the Existing Lender requests such consent, after which such consent shall be deemed to have been given); provided that, no such consent is required for an assignment or transfer:

		
	(i)
	required by any Applicable Law;

		
	(ii)
	to a Qualifying Lender or to an existing Lender (or any of its Affiliates);

		
	(iii)
	to an Affiliate or other group member of that Lender;

		
	(iv)
	to a trust, a special purpose securitisation vehicle or any other entity as part of a securitisation or covered bond transaction;

		
	(v)
	to a fund, financial institution or insurance company which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets;

		
	(vi)
	while a Default is continuing; 

		
	(vii)
	to BPIFAE; or

		
	(viii)
	made to a “Second Lien Lender” (as such term is defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to, and in accordance with, clause 4.10 (Option to Purchase: Second Lien Lenders) of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and

		
	(b)
	other than in relation to a transfer or assignment made pursuant to clause 4.10(a)(ii)(B) (Option to Purchase: Second Lien Lenders) of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, BPIFAE.

		
	26.2
	Conditions of Assignment or Transfer

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

		
	(b)
	An assignment will only be effective on:

		
	(i)
	receipt by the BPIFAE Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the BPIFAE 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;

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

164
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(iii)
	when the BPIFAE Agent updates the Register (as defined in Clause 26.8 (Register) below) in accordance with the provisions of Clause 26.8 (Register) below; and 

		
	(iv)
	the New Lender entering into documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and 

		
	(c)
	A transfer will only be effective if the New Lender enters into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and if the procedure set out in Clause 26.5 (Procedure for Transfer or Assignment) is complied with.

		
	(d)
	If:

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

		
	(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 13 (Tax gross‐up and Indemnities) or Clause 14 (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.
		
	(e)
	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the BPIFAE Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

		
	26.3
	Assignment or Transfer Fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the BPIFAE Agent (for its own account) a fee of US$2,000.
		
	26.4
	Limitation of Responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

		
	(ii)
	the financial condition of the Borrower or the status of the Project;

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

165
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(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 or reassignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders); or

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

		
	26.5
	Procedure for Transfer or Assignment

		
	(a)
	In respect of any transfer:

		
	(i)
	subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (iii) below when the BPIFAE Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender and updates the Register (as defined in Clause 26.8 (Register) below) in accordance with the provisions of Clause 26.8 (Register) below.  The BPIFAE Agent shall, subject to paragraph (ii) 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

		
	(ii)
	The BPIFAE 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.

		
	(iii)
	On the Transfer Date:

166
	
			
	 
	 
	 

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

		
	(B)
	the Borrower 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;

		
	(C)
	the BPIFAE Agent, the Security Agent, each Mandated Lead 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 BPIFAE Agent, each Mandated Lead Arranger, the Security Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

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

		
	(iv)
	For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of article 1278 of the French Civil Code and only in relation to the Borrower Pledge of Bank Accounts, the Borrower Additional Pledge of Bank Accounts and the Holding Account Pledge Agreement it is expressly agreed that the Pledge of Bank Accounts shall be preserved for the benefit of the New Lender and all other Finance Parties.

		
	(b)
	In respect of any assignment:

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

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

167
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(iii)
	On the Transfer Date:

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

		
	(B)
	the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the “Relevant Obligations”) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and

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

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

		
	26.6
	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower

The BPIFAE Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to the Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

	(b)
	with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub‐participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or

	(a)
	The Borrower hereby designates the BPIFAE Agent, and the BPIFAE Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Clause 26.8, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of 

168
	
			
	 
	 
	 

each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender.
		
	(b)
	Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

		
	(c)
	With respect to any Lender, the transfer or assignment of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until:

		
	(i)
	the Transfer Certificate has been executed by the BPIFAE Agent; and

		
	(ii)
	such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the BPIFAE Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans.  Prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.

		
	(d)
	The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the BPIFAE Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the BPIFAE Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Certificate pursuant to this Clause 26.8.

		
	(e)
	The Borrower agrees to indemnify the BPIFAE Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by the BPIFAE Agent in performing its duties under this Clause 26.8 except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the BPIFAE Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non‐appealable decision).

	Liens over Lenders’ rights

		
	(a)
	In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from the Borrower or the other Lenders, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Lien 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:

		
	(i)
	any charge, assignment or other Lien (including pursuant to Article L 211-38 et seq. of the French monetary and financial code and pursuant to the European Financial Collateral Directive) to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank, or to an Affiliate of a Lender or a special purpose vehicle or any entity set up in connection with a dedicated refinancing scheme for buyer credits in the country of any Lender or in connection with covered bonds programs or to a fund, financial institution or insurance company providing funds dedicated to export credits; and

		
	(ii)
	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Lien granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

169
	
			
	 
	 
	 

except that no such charge, assignment or Lien shall:
		
	(A)
	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Lien for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

		
	(B)
	require any payments to be made by the Borrower 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; provided that, this sub-clause (ii) would not be applicable to any Borrower’s grossing-up obligation arising whenever an Affiliate of a Lender which would be a “société de crédit foncier” would become a Lender further to the implementation of a security interest granted in or over all or any rights of such Lender under any Finance Document in favour of such Affiliate.

		
	(b)
	The Borrower undertakes to comply with all necessary formalities, if any, and take all necessary steps in order for the assignment, charge or Lien over the relevant Lender’s rights to be created

	(c)
	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent in accordance with Clause 28.12(b) within thirty (30) days after notice of resignation was given, the BPIFAE Agent or the Security Agent (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent.

		
	(d)
	If the BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) is entitled to appoint a successor under paragraph (c) above, the BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent (applicable) may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent to become a party to this Agreement) agree with the proposed successor BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) amendments to this Clause 28 consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fees payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor BPIFAE Agent’s or Security Agent’s (as applicable) normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

		
	(e)
	The retiring BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to its successor such documents and records and provide such assistance as its successor may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent under the Finance Documents.

	the transfer of all of any Lien expressed to be created under the Security Documents to that successor.

		
	(h)
	Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Clause 28.12 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring BPIFAE Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

	(i)
	the BPIFAE Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 13.7 (FATCA Information) and a Lender reasonably believes that the BPIFAE 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 BPIFAE Agent pursuant to Clause 13.7 (FATCA Information) indicates that the BPIFAE Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

	the BPIFAE Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the BPIFAE Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date,

	28.14
	Confidentiality

	(e)
	the BPIFAE 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 BPIFAE Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 31.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.); and

regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.

The Security Agent
		
	1.
	Security agent as holder of liens

		
	(a)
	In this Clause:

“Security Agent Claim” means any amount which an Obligor owes to the Security Agent under this Clause.
		
	(b)
	Unless expressly provided to the contrary in any Finance Document, the Security Agent holds:

		
	(i)
	any security created by a Security Document governed by any relevant law;

		
	(ii)
	the benefit of any Security Agent Claims; and

		
	(iii)
	any proceeds of security,

for the benefit, and as the property, of the Finance Parties.
		
	(c)
	The Security Agent will separately identify in its records the property rights referred to in paragraph (b) above.

	The Borrower must pay the Security Agent, as an independent and separate creditor, an amount equal to each Finance Party Claim on its due date.

		
	(e)
	The Security Agent may enforce performance of any Security Agent Claim in its own name as an independent and separate right.  This includes any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of any kind of insolvency proceeding.

		
	(f)
	Each Finance Party must, at the request of the Security Agent, perform any act required in connection with the enforcement of any Security Agent Claim.  This includes joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent.

		
	(g)
	Unless the Security Agent fails to enforce a Security Agent Claim within a reasonable time after its due date, a Finance Party may not take any action to enforce the corresponding Finance Party Claim unless it is requested to do so by the Security Agent.

		
	(h)
	The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Finance Party to join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent in respect of any Security Agent Claim.

		
	(i)
	(A) Discharge by the Borrower of a Finance Party Claim will discharge the corresponding Security Agent Claim in the same amount; and (B) Discharge by the 

222
	
			
	 
	 
	 

Borrower of a Security Agent Claim will discharge the corresponding Finance Party Claim in the same amount.
		
	(j)
	The aggregate amount of the Security Agent Claims will never exceed the aggregate amount of Finance Party Claims.

		
	(k)
	(A) A defect affecting a Security Agent Claim against the Borrower will not affect any Finance Party Claim; and (B) A defect affecting a Finance Party Claim against the Borrower will not affect any Security Agent Claim.

		
	(l)
	If the Security Agent returns to the Borrower, whether in any kind of insolvency proceedings or otherwise, any recovery in respect of which it has made a payment to a Finance Party, that Finance Party must repay an amount equal to that recovery to the Security Agent.

		
	2.
	Responsibility

		
	(a)
	The Security Agent is not liable or responsible to any other Finance Party for:

		
	(i)
	any failure in perfecting or protecting the security created by any Security Document; or

		
	(ii)
	any other action taken or not taken by it in connection with any Security Document,

unless caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
		
	(b)
	The Security Agent is not responsible for:

		
	(i)
	the right or title of any person in or to, or the value of, or sufficiency of any part of the security created by the Security Documents;

		
	(ii)
	the priority of any security created by the Security Documents; or

		
	(iii)
	the existence of any other Lien affecting any asset secured under a Security Document.

		
	3.
	Title

The Security Agent may accept, without enquiry, the title (if any) the Borrower may have to any asset over which security is intended to be created by any Security Document.
		
	4.
	Possession of documents

The Security Agent is not obliged to hold in its own possession any Security Document, title deed or other document in connection with any asset over which security is intended to be created by a Security Document.  Without prejudice to the above, the Security Agent may allow any bank providing safe custody services or any professional adviser to the Security Agent to retain any of those documents in its possession.

223
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	5.
	Investments

Except as otherwise provided in any Security Document, all moneys received by the Security Agent under a Security Document may be:
		
	(a)
	invested in the name of, or under the control of, the Security Agent in any investment for the time being authorised by any relevant law for the investment by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which may be selected by the Security Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders; or

		
	(b)
	placed on deposit in the name of, or under the control of, the Security Agent at any bank or institution (including any Finance Party) and on such terms as the Security Agent may agree.

		
	6.
	Approval

Each Finance Party:
		
	(a)
	confirms its approval of each Security Document; and

		
	(b)
	authorises and directs the Security Agent (by itself or by such person(s) as it may nominate) to enter into and enforce the Security Documents as trustee (or agent) or as otherwise provided (and whether or not expressly in the names of the Finance Parties) on its behalf.

		
	7.
	Conflict with security documents

If there is any conflict between this Agreement and any Security Document with regard to instructions to, or other matters affecting, the Security Agent, this Agreement will prevail.
		
	8.
	Release of security

		
	(a)
	If a disposal of any asset subject to security created by a Security Document is made to a person (which is and will remain) outside the Group in the following circumstances:

		
	(i)
	all the Lenders agree to the disposal;

		
	(ii)
	the disposal is being made at the request of the Security Agent in circumstances where any security created by the Security Documents has become enforceable;

		
	(iii)
	the disposal is allowed by the terms of the Finance Documents and will not result or could not reasonably be expected to result in any Default; and

		
	(iv)
	the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Security Document, the asset(s) being disposed of will be released from any security over it created by a Security Document.

		
	(b)
	Any release under this Subclause will not become effective until the date of the relevant disposal or otherwise in accordance with the consent of all the Lenders.

		
	(c)
	If a disposal is not made, then any release relating to that disposal will have no effect, and the obligations of the Borrower under the Finance Documents will continue in full force and effect.

224
	
			
	 
	 
	 

		
	(d)
	If the Security Agent so requests pursuant to a release under this Subclause, (at the request and expense of the Borrower) each Finance Party must enter into any document and do all such other things which are reasonably required to achieve that release.  Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent to enter into any such document.

		
	9.
	Co-security agent

		
	(a)
	The Security Agent may appoint a separate security agent or a co-security agent in any jurisdiction:

		
	(i)
	if the Security Agent considers that without the appointment the interests of the Lenders under the Finance Documents might be materially and adversely affected;

		
	(ii)
	for the purpose of complying with any law, regulation or other condition in any jurisdiction; or

		
	(iii)
	for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment or enforcing any Finance Document in any jurisdiction.

		
	(b)
	Any appointment under this Subclause will only be effective if the security agent or co-security agent confirms to the Security Agent and the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the Security Agent.

		
	(c)
	The Security Agent may remove any security agent or co-security agent appointed by it and may appoint a new security agent or co-security agent in its place.

		
	10.
	Information

Each Finance Party and the Borrower must supply the Security Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably specify as being necessary or desirable to enable it to perform its functions under this Clause.
		
	11.
	Perfection of security

Borrower must (at its own cost) take any action and enter into and deliver any document which is required by the Security Agent so that a Security Document provides for effective and perfected security in favour of any successor Security Agent.
