	13	 TAX GROSS UP AND INDEMNITIES 

 

	13.1	 Definitions 

  

	(a)	 In this Agreement: 

“Protected Party” means a Finance Party which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or
on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document. 

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax. 

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than
a FATCA Deduction. 
 “Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under
Clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity). 
  

	(b)	 Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 13 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) reference to
“determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination. 

  

	13.2	 Tax gross-up 

 

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

  

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

  

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

 

	(d)	 If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor 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 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction,
the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility 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. 

  
 54 

	13.3	 Tax indemnity 

 

	(a)	 The Obligors shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Facility 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: 

 

	 	(i)	 with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: 

 

	 	(A)	 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 

  

	 	(B)	 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 
  

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

 

	 	(A)	 is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.2 (Tax
gross-up); or 

  

	 	(B)	 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 Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors.

notify the Facility Agent. 

  

	13.4	 Tax Credit 

If an Obligor 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 received; and 

  

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

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

  
 55 

	13.5	 Stamp taxes 

The Obligors shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability which that
Secured Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document. 
  

	13.6	 VAT 

  

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

 

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

  

	 	(i)	 (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant
Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this sub-paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to
the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 

 

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

  

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

  

	(d)	 Any reference in this Clause 13.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a
member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the
supply, under the grouping rules provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or equivalent provisions imposed elsewhere) so that a reference to a Party shall be
construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at
the relevant time (as the case may be). 

  
 56 

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

  

	13.7	 FATCA Information 

 

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

  

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

 

	 	(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
as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and 

  

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

  

	(b)	 If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to sub-paragraph
(i) of paragraph (a) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly. 

 

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

  

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

  
 57 

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

  

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

  

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

supply to the Facility Agent: 
  

	 	(iv)	 a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or 

  

	 	(v)	 any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Facility Agent may require to
certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation. 

  

	(f)	 The Facility Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or
waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the Borrowers. 

  

	(g)	 If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the
Facility Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation
or waiver to the Facility Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent). The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement,
document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrowers. 

  

	(h)	 The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or
waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.

  

	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 each Obligor and the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

 SECTION 7 

GUARANTEE AND JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS 
  

	18	 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 

 

	18.1	 Guarantee and indemnity 

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

	(a)	 guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantor of
all such other Transaction Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

  

	(b)	 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever a Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantor does not pay
any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; and 

 

	(c)	 agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or
illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantor not paying any amount which
would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would
have had to pay under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 

  

	18.2	 Continuing guarantee 

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

	18.3	 Reinstatement 

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Transaction Obligor or any security for those
obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation,
then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	18.4	 Waiver of defences 

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and in respect of any Transaction Security will not be
affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 18.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) or in respect of
any Transaction Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including: 

  
 66 

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

  

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

  

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

 

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

  

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

  

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

  

	(g)	 any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

 

	18.5	 Immediate recourse 

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or
enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Finance Document or to enforce any Transaction Security) before claiming or commencing proceedings under this
Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 
  

	18.6	 Appropriations 

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Transaction Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been
irrevocably paid in full, each Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may: 
  

	(a)	 refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party
(or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the
same; and 

  

	(b)	 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the
Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity). 

  
 67 

	18.7	 Deferral of Guarantor’s rights 

All rights which the Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this guarantee, a mortgage or any other transaction) against any
Borrower, any other Transaction Obligor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties under the Finance Documents and until the end of the Security Period and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs,
the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have (whether in respect of any Finance Document to which it is a Party or any other transaction) by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of
any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity): 
  

	(a)	 to be indemnified by a Transaction Obligor; 

 

	(b)	 to claim any contribution from any third party providing security for, or any other guarantor of, any
Transaction Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

  

	(c)	 to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the
Secured Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Secured Party; 

 

	(d)	 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Transaction Obligor to make any payment, or
perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 18.1 (Guarantee and indemnity); 

  

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

  

	(f)	 to claim or prove as a creditor of any Transaction Obligor in competition with any Secured Party.

 If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit,
payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Transaction Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured
Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics). 

 

	18.8	 Additional security 

This guarantee and any other Security given by the Guarantor is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by, and shall not prejudice,
any other guarantee or Security or any other right of recourse now or subsequently held by any Secured Party or any right of set-off or netting or right to combine accounts in connection with the Finance
Documents. 
  

	18.9	 Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other Security 

Clauses 18.2 (Continuing guarantee), 18.3 (Reinstatement), 18.4 (Waiver of defences), 18.5 (Immediate recourse),
18.6 (Appropriations), 18.7 (Deferral of Guarantor’s rights) and 18.8 (Additional security) shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any Security which the Guarantor creates (whether at the time at which it signs
this Agreement or at any later time) to secure the Secured Liabilities or any part of them. 

  
 68 

	19	 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS

All liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall, whether expressed to be so or not, be joint and several.

with any other Borrower;

	19.5	 Deferral of Borrowers’ rights 

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Borrower will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents:

 SECTION 9 

CHANGES TO PARTIES 
  

	29	 CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 

 

	29.1	 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

Subject to this Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may: 

 

	(a)	 assign any of its rights; or 

 

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

under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or
established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”). 
  

	29.2	 Conditions of assignment or transfer 

 

	(a)	 The Existing Lender shall consult with the Borrowers for up to 5 Business Days before completing an assignment
or transfer pursuant to Clause 29.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders), unless the assignment or transfer is: 

  

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

 

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

 

	 	(iii)	 to the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Sustainability Agent or an Affiliate of the Mandated Lead Arranger or the
Sustainability Agent and made in connection with the primary syndication or the Utilisation of the Facility; or 

  

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

 

	(b)	 An assignment will only be effective on: 

 

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

 

	 	(ii)	 performance by the Facility 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 Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender. 

 

	(c)	 Each Obligor on behalf of itself and each Transaction Obligor agrees that all rights and interests (present,
future or contingent) which the Existing Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the New Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which a Borrower or any
other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender. 

  
 110 

	(d)	 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) is
complied with. 

  

	(e)	 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, a Transaction
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 under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance
Document 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. This paragraph
(e) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility. 
  

	(f)	 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the
avoidance of doubt, that the Facility 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. 

 

	29.3	 Assignment or transfer fee 

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of
$3,000. 
  

	29.4	 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 Transaction Documents, the Transaction
Security or any other documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	 the financial condition of any Transaction Obligor; 

 

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

  

	 	(iv)	 the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Transaction 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 and the Secured Parties that it:

  
 111 

	 	(i)	 has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial
condition and affairs of each Transaction Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in
connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Transaction Obligor and its
related entities throughout the Security Period. 

  

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

 

	 	(i)	 accept a re-transfer or
re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 29 (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 Transaction Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise. 

  

	29.5	 Procedure for transfer 

 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), a transfer is
effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility 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 this Agreement and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

  

	(b)	 The Facility 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. 

 

	(c)	 Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	 each of the Transaction 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 Transaction Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Transaction Obligor and the Existing Lender;

  

	 	(iii)	 the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Sustainability Agent, the New Lender
and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security 

  
 112 

	 	
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
Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Sustainability Agent, and the Existing Lenders shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and 

 

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

 

	29.6	 Procedure for assignment 

 

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment
may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph
(b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute
that Assignment Agreement. 

  

	(b)	 The Facility 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.

  

	(c)	 Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	 the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”)
expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and 

 

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

  

	(d)	 Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 (Procedure for assignment)
to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Transaction Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Transaction Obligor from the
obligations owed to that Transaction 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 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

  

	29.7	 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrowers 

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

  
 113 

	29.8	 Security over Lenders’ rights 

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may without consulting
with or obtaining consent from any Transaction Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that
Lender including, without limitation: 
  

	(a)	 any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

  

	(b)	 any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities, 

 except that no
such charge, assignment or Security shall: 
  

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

  

	 	(ii)	 require any payments to be made by a Transaction Obligor other than or in excess of, 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. 

  

	29.9	 Pro rata interest settlement 

 

	(a)	 If the Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a
“pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.6 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer
Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period): 

  

	 	(i)	 any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the
lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on
the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and 

 

	 	(ii)	 The rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so
that, for the avoidance of doubt: 

  

	 	(A)	 when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

  

	 	(B)	 the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of
this Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 

  
 114 

	(b)	 In this Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) references to “Interest Period” shall be
construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees. 

  

	(c)	 An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.9 (Pro rata
interest settlement) but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver,
amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 

  

	30	 CHANGES TO THE TRANSACTION OBLIGORS 

 

	30.1	 Assignment or transfer by Transaction Obligors 

No Transaction Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents. 

 

	30.2	 Release of security 

 

	(a)	 If a disposal of any asset subject to security created by a Security Document is made in the following
circumstances: 

  

	 	(i)	 the disposal is permitted by the terms of any Finance Document; 

 

	 	(ii)	 all the Lenders agree to the disposal; 

 

	 	(iii)	 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; or 

  

	 	(iv)	 the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Security Document, 

the Security Agent may release the asset(s) being disposed of from any security over those assets created by a Security Document. However, the
proceeds of any disposal (or an amount corresponding to them) must be applied in accordance with the requirements of the Finance Documents (if any). 
  

	(b)	 If the Security Agent is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Clause 30.2 (Release of
security) (at the request and expense of the Borrowers) 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. Any release will not affect the obligations of any other Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents. 

  
 115

opposed to its role of Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Parties. 

  

	(e)	 If giving effect to instructions given by the Majority Lenders would in the Facility Agent’s opinion have
an effect equivalent to an amendment or waiver referred to in Clause 45 (Amendments and Waivers), the Facility Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Party (other than
the Facility Agent) whose consent would have been required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

	(h)	 Without prejudice to the remainder of this Clause 31.2 (Instructions), in the absence of instructions,

	 	(ii)	 any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Finance Parties has not been
exercised; and

desirable. 

  

	(e)	 The Facility Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or

	(i)	 Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Facility Agent is not obliged to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of

liability, any liability of the Facility Agent arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document or the Security Property shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as
determined by reference to the date of default of the Facility Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Facility Agent at any
time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages,

the Borrowers, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Facility Agent. 

  

	(c)	 If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Facility Agent in accordance with paragraph
(b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Facility Agent may appoint a successor Facility Agent. 

  

	(d)	 If the Facility Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer
appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Facility Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Facility Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Facility Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to
persuade the proposed successor Facility Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Facility Agent) agree with the proposed successor Facility Agent amendments to this Clause 31 (The Facility Agent, the Sustainability Agent and the
Reference Banks) and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees. 

  
 122 

	(e)	 The retiring Facility Agent shall make available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and records and
provide such assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the
retiring Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance. 

 

	(f)	 The Facility Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

  

	(g)	 Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further
obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 15.4 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent) and this Clause 31 (The Facility Agent,
the Sustainability Agent and the Reference Banks) and any other provisions of a Finance Document which are expressed to limit or exclude its liability (or to indemnify it) in acting as Facility Agent. Any fees for the account of the retiring
Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date. Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original
Party. 

  

	(h)	 The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Facility Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph
(b) above. In this event, the Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above but the cost referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be for the account of the Borrowers. 

 

	(i)	 The consent of any Borrower (or any other Transaction Obligor) is not required for an assignment or transfer of
rights and/or obligations by the Facility Agent. 

  

	(j)	 The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable,
shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under
the Finance Documents, either: 

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	 the Facility Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have
ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; 

 and (in each case) a Lender reasonably
believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign. 

  
 123 

	31.14	 Confidentiality 

 

	(a)	 In acting as Facility Agent for the Finance Parties, the Facility Agent shall be regarded as acting through its
agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments. 

  

	(b)	 If information is received by a division or department of the Facility Agent other than the division or
department responsible for complying with the obligations assumed by it under the Finance Documents, that information may be treated as confidential to that division or department, and the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it nor
shall it be obliged to disclose such information to any Party. 

  

	(c)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, none of the Facility Agent, the
Mandated Lead Arranger or the Sustainability Agent is obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach
of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty. 

  

	31.15	 Relationship with the other Finance Parties 

 

	(a)	 Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Facility Agent may treat the person shown in
its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Facility Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office: 

 

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

 

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

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

	(b)	 Each Finance Party shall supply the Facility Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably
specify (through the Facility Agent) as being necessary or desirable to enable the Security Agent to perform its functions as Security Agent. Each Finance Party shall deal with the Security Agent exclusively through the Facility Agent and shall not
deal directly with the Security Agent and any reference to any instructions being given by or sought from any Finance Party or group of Finance Parties to or by the Security Agent in this Agreement must be given or sought through the Facility Agent.

  

	(c)	 Any Lender may by notice to the Facility Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices,
communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under
Clause 38.5 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention
communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 38.2 (Addresses) and sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of Clause 38.5 (Electronic communication) and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices,
communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

of its respective assets under, or in connection with, any Transaction Document, the Security Property, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document or the Security Property;

	31.18	 Deduction from amounts payable by the Facility Agent 

If any Party owes an amount to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent may, after giving notice to that Party,
deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Facility Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the
purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted. 

  
 125 

	31.19	 Reliance and engagement letters 

Each Secured Party confirms that each of the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Sustainability Agent and the Facility Agent has authority to accept on
its behalf (and ratifies the acceptance on its behalf of any letters or reports already accepted by the Mandated Lead Arranger, the Sustainability Agent or the Facility Agent) the terms of any reliance letter or engagement letters or any reports or

	34	 SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 

 

	34.1	 Payments to Finance Parties 

If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from a Transaction Obligor other than in
accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due to it under the Finance Documents then: 
  

	(a)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to
the Facility Agent; 

  

	(b)	 the Facility 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 Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 35 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the
Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 

  

	(c)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the
Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in
accordance with Clause 35.5 (Application of receipts; partial payments). 

  

	34.2	 Redistribution of payments 

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Transaction Obligor and distribute it among the
Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 35.5 (Application of receipts; partial payments) towards the obligations of that Transaction Obligor to the
Sharing Finance Parties. 
  

	34.3	 Recovering Finance Party’s rights 

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 34.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance
Party from a Transaction Obligor, as between the relevant Transaction Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Transaction Obligor. 

 

	34.4	 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 Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account
of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing
Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and 

  
 143 

	(b)	 as between the relevant Transaction Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the
relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Transaction Obligor. 

  

	34.5	 Exceptions 

  

	(a)	 This Clause 34 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) 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 Transaction Obligor. 

  

	(b)	 A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering
Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if: 

  

	 	(i)	 it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did
not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

 SECTION 11 

ADMINISTRATION 
  

	35	 PAYMENT MECHANICS 

 

	35.1	 Payments to the Facility Agent 

 

	(a)	 On each date on which a Transaction Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document,
that Transaction Obligor or Lender shall make an amount equal to such payment available to the Facility 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
Facility 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 such Participating Member State or London, as specified by the Facility Agent) and with such bank as the Facility Agent, in each case, specifies. 

 

	35.2	 Distributions by the Facility Agent 

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 35.3 (Distributions to a
Transaction Obligor) and Clause 35.4 (Clawback and pre-funding) be made available by the Facility 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 Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party 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), as specified by that Party or, in the case of an Advance, to such account of such
person as may be specified by the Borrowers in the Utilisation Request. 
  

	35.3	 Distributions to a Transaction Obligor 

The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Transaction Obligor or in accordance with Clause 36
(Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Transaction Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Transaction Obligor under
the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 
  

	35.4	 Clawback and pre-funding 

 

	(a)	 Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility
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)	 Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to
be the case that the Facility 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 Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent
together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 

  
 145 

	(c)	 If the Facility Agent is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrowers before receiving
funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Facility Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrowers: 

 

	 	(i)	 the Borrowers shall on demand refund it to the Facility Agent; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if the Lender fails to do so, the Borrowers,
shall on demand pay to the Facility Agent the amount (as certified by the Facility Agent) which will indemnify the Facility Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that
Lender. 

  

	35.5	 Application of receipts; partial payments 

 

	(a)	 If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable
by a Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Transaction 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, and any other amounts
owing to, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate under the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(ii)	 secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest and fees due but unpaid to the Lenders
under this Agreement; 

  

	 	(iii)	 thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid to the Lenders 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 Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary, or instruct the Security Agent to vary
(as applicable) the order set out in sub-paragraphs (ii) to (iv) of paragraph (a) above. 

  

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

  

	35.6	 No set-off by Transaction Obligors 

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

	35.7	 Business Days 

 

	(a)	 Any payment under the Finance Documents 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). 

  
 146 

	(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 or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date. 

  

	35.8	 Currency of account 

 

	(a)	 Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, dollars is the currency of account and payment for any sum due
from a Transaction Obligor under any Finance Document. 

  

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

  

	(c)	 Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than dollars shall be paid in that other currency.

  

	35.9	 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 Facility Agent (after consultation with the Borrowers); 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 Facility Agent (acting reasonably). 

 

	(b)	 If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Facility Agent (acting
reasonably and after consultation with the Borrowers) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

  

	35.10	 Currency Conversion 

 

	(a)	 For the purpose of, or pending any payment to be made by any Servicing Party under any Finance Document, such
Servicing Party may convert any moneys received or recovered by it from one currency to another, at a market rate of exchange. 

  

	(b)	 The obligations of any Transaction 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. 

  

	35.11	 Disruption to Payment Systems etc. 

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

	(a)	 the Facility Agent may, and shall if requested to do so by a Borrower, consult with the Borrowers with a view
to agreeing with the Borrowers such changes to the operation or administration of the Facility as the Facility Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances; 

  
 147 

	(b)	 the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Borrowers in relation to any changes mentioned in
paragraph (a) above if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes; 

 

	(c)	 the Facility Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph
(a) above but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances; 

  

	(d)	 any such changes agreed upon by the Facility Agent and the Borrowers shall (whether or not it is finally
determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties and any Transaction Obligors as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 45
(Amendments and Waivers); 

  

	(e)	 the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value
or any liability 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 Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or
failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 35.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.); and 

  

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

  

	36	 SET-OFF 

A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from a Transaction 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 Transaction 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. 

 

	37	 BAIL-IN 

Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to a Finance
Document, each Party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to a Finance Document under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution

IV of Directive 2011/16/EU. 
  

	46.4	 Disclosure to numbering service providers

	(c)	 Each Obligor represents, on behalf of itself and the other Transaction Obligors, that none of the information

 SECTION 12 

GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT 
  

	49	 GOVERNING LAW 

This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed
by English law. 
  

	50	 ENFORCEMENT 

  

	50.1	 Jurisdiction 

  

	(a)	 Unless specifically provided in another Finance Document in relation to that Finance Document, the courts of
England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of any Finance Document or any
non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document) (a “Dispute”). 

  

	(b)	 The Obligors accept that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle
Disputes and accordingly no Obligor will argue to the contrary. 

  

	(c)	 This Clause 50.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. As a result, no Secured
Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 

 

	50.2	 Service of process 

 

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

  

	 	(i)	 irrevocably appoints Hill Dickinson LLP at its current address at The Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street,
London EC2A 2EW, England, as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and 

 

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

  

	(b)	 If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service
of process, the Borrowers (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within 5 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Facility Agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint
another agent for this purpose. 

 This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

mortgages, charges, notices, instructions, acknowledgments, proxies and powers of attorney), as the Security Trustee may specify (and in such form as the Security Trustee may require in favour of the Security Trustee or its nominee(s)):

  

	 	(i)	 to create, perfect, vest in favour of the Security Trustee or protect the priority of the Security Interest or
any right or any kind created or intended to be created under or evidenced by the Finance Documents as amended and restated and/or supplemented by this Deed (which may include the execution of a mortgage, charge, assignment or other Security
Interest over all or any of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Security Interest created by a Finance Document) or for the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Security Trustee, any Receiver or the Creditor
Parties provided by or pursuant to the Finance Documents as amended and restated and/or supplemented by this Deed or by law; 

  

	 	(ii)	 to facilitate or expedite the realisation and/or sale of, the transfer of title to or the grant of, any
interest in or right relating to the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Security Interest created by a Finance Document or to exercise any power specified in any Finance Document as amended and restated and/or supplemented
by this Deed in respect of which the Security Interest has become enforceable; and/or 

  
 10 

	 	(iii)	 to enable or assist the Security Trustee to enter into any transaction to commence, defend or conduct any
proceedings and/or to take any other action relating to any item of the Trust Property. 

  

	(c)	 The Released Borrower and each Security Party shall promptly, take all such action as is available to it
(including making all filings and registrations) as may be necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of any Security Interest conferred or intended to be conferred on the Security Trustee or the Creditor
Parties by or pursuant to the Finance Documents as amended and restated and/or supplemented by this Deed. 

  

	10.2	 Additional corporate action 

At the same time as the Released Borrower or a Security Party delivers to the Agent or Security Trustee any document executed under this Clause
8 (Further Assurance), the Released Borrower and any relevant Security Party shall deliver to the Agent or Security Trustee as applicable a certificate signed by an officer of the Released Borrower or any relevant Security Party (as the case
may be) which shall: 
  

	(a)	 set out the text of a resolution of the Released Borrower’s or that Security Party’s directors
specifically authorising the execution of the document specified by the Agent or the Security Trustee as applicable; and 

  

	(b)	 state that either the resolution was duly passed at a meeting of the directors validly convened and held,
throughout which a quorum of directors entitled to vote on the resolution was present, or that the resolution has been signed by all the directors of officers and is valid under the Released Borrower’s or that Security Party’s articles of
incorporation or other constitutional documents. 

  

	11	 COSTS AND EXPENSES 

Clause 20.3 (costs of variation, amendments, enforcement etc.) of the Loan Agreement, as amended and restated by this Deed, applies to

 11 

	15	 ENFORCEMENT 

  

	15.1	 Jurisdiction 

  

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

  

	(b)	 The Released Borrower and each of the Security Parties accept that the courts of England are the most
appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly the Released Borrower and each of the Security Parties will not argue to the contrary. 

  

	(c)	 This Clause 15.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Creditor Parties only. As a result, no
Creditor Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Creditor Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

  

	15.2	 Service of process 

 

	(a)	 Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Released Borrower and each
of the Security Parties: 

  

	 	(i)	 irrevocably appoints Hill Dickinson LLP at their office for the time being, presently at The Broadgate Tower,
20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW, England as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Released Borrower and each of the Security Parties of the
process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. 

  

	(b)	 If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service
of process, the Released Borrower and each of the Security Parties must immediately (and in any event within 7 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent may appoint another agent
for this purpose. 

 This Deed has been duly executed by or on behalf of the parties hereto as a Deed and has, on the date stated at
the beginning of this Deed, been delivered as a Deed.
