Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Loans. 
  

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

  

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

 9.7 Restrictions 
  

	(a)	Any notice of cancellation or prepayment given by any Party under this Clause 9 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify the
date or dates upon which the relevant cancellation or prepayment is to be made and the amount of that cancellation or prepayment.

applicable: 
  

	 	(a)	Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	EURIBOR or, in relation to any Loan not denominated in euro, LIBOR; and 

  

	 	(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any. 

 10.2 Payment of interest 
 The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on
the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period). 
 10.3 Margin adjustments - ratings 
  

	(a)	In this Subclause, Rating Agency means Moody’s or S&P or any other rating agency of similar international stature which has been approved by the Majority Lenders.

  

	(b)	The initial Margin is 0.875 per cent. per annum and this rate shall apply until changed under this Subclause. 

  

	(c)	Subject to the other provisions of this Subclause, the Margin will be subsequently calculated by reference to the table below: 

  

					
	 Column 1
	  	 Column 2
 Margin
 (per cent. per
annum)

	 S&P Rating
	  	 Moody’s Rating
	  
	BBB- or above	  	Baa3 or above	  	0.725
	BB+	  	Ba1	  	0.875
	BB	  	Ba2	  	1.075
	BB – or below	  	Ba3 or below	  	1.375

  

	(d)	The Company must notify the Agent of any notification to it by a Rating Agency of a change in its Moody’s Rating or S&P Rating. 

  

 30 

	(e)	If, following the notification referred to above, the Moody’s Rating or S&P Rating (as applicable) is such that two different Margins would be applicable to each rating
according to the table set out in paragraph (c) above: 

  

	 	(i)	in the case where the different applicable Margins are adjacent to each other as set out in the table in paragraph (c) above, the applicable Margin will be the average of those
Margins; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in the case where the different applicable Margins are not adjacent to each other as set out in the table in paragraph (c) above, the applicable Margin will be:

  

	 	(A)	if there is one row separating the different applicable Margins, the Margin set out in that row; or 

  

	 	(B)	if there are two rows separating the different applicable Margins, the average of the Margins set out in those two rows. 

  

	(f)	If only one Rating Agency has supplied a rating at any particular time, the rating to be attributed to the Rating Agency for the purposes of paragraph (c) above that has failed
to supply a rating at that time shall be deemed to be BB- or below or Ba3 or below, as appropriate. 

  

	(g)	Any change in the Margin will, subject to paragraphs (h) and (i) below, apply to each Loan made, on the date of notification by the Rating Agency or the Rating Agencies,
as the case may be, of the change in the Moody’s Rating or S&P Rating (as applicable). 

  

	(h)	For so long as an Event of Default is outstanding or the Company has not delivered a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Clause 21.2 (Compliance Certificate), the Margin will
be the highest applicable rate, being 1.375 per cent. per annum. 

  

	(i)	On the Additional Security Date, the applicable Margin shall be decreased by 0.15 per cent. per annum and, thereafter, each rate set out in Column 2 of the table above and
the rate set out in paragraph (h) above will be reduced by 0.15 per cent. per annum. 

 10.4 Default interest 
  

	(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual
payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is one per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a
Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the
Agent. 

  

	(b)	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan: 

 

	 	(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

  

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be one per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue
amount had not become due. 

  

 31 

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

 12. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

 12.1 Absence of quotations 
 Subject
to Clause 12.2 (Market disruption), if EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable EURIBOR or
LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
 12.2 Market disruption 
  

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

  

	 	(i)	the Margin; 

  

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

  

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

  

 32 

	(b)	In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means: 

  

	 	(i)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to
determine EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(ii)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan
exceed 30% of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of EURIBOR or, if applicable, LIBOR. 

 12.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding 
  

	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days)
with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. 

  

	(b)	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

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

	(b)	The commitment fee from time to time will be calculated by reference to the figures in the first column below (as determined in accordance with Clause 10.3 (Margin adjustments -
ratings)) and determined in accordance with the following table: 

  

			
	 Margin - per cent. per annum (as determined in
accordance with
Clause 10.3 (Margin adjustments - ratings))
	  	 Commitment fee (as percentage of Margin)

	0.725	  	30
	0.875	  	35
	1.075	  	40
	1.375	  	50

  

	(c)	If the Additional Security Date has occurred, the figures in the first column above shall be amended on that date to reflect the operation of Clause 10.3(i) (Margin adjustments
- ratings). 

  

 33 

	(d)	Any change in the commitment fee referred to in paragraph (b) above will apply on the date of notification by the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies, as the case may be, of the
change in the Moody’s Rating or S&P Rating, as applicable.

of the extension of the then current Termination Date under that Clause. 

  

	(c)	An extension fee is payable in respect of each period of 364 days that a Lender agrees to extend its Termination Date.

 Tax Deduction means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document.

 34 

	(b)	Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 14 a reference to determines or determined means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person
making the determination. 

 14.2 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 Company 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 Agent
accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Company 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 Agent for

 14.3 Tax indemnity 
  

	(a)	Each Obligor shall (within three Business Days of demand by the 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 loss, liability or cost suffered for or on account of 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; 

  

	 	(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; or

  

	 	(C)	under the law of any jurisdiction in which that Finance Party otherwise conducts business, 

 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the overall net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable
but not actually received, such as, without limitation, a Tax Deduction) by that Finance Party (or a branch of such Finance Party); or 
  

 35 

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

  

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

  

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because of non-compliance by a relevant Lender with its
obligations under Clauses 14.7(b) or 14.7(c) (except to the extent that such non-compliance by the relevant Lender resulted from it not being permitted by law to comply with such obligations). 

  

	(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Agent of the event (giving (to the extent reasonably practicable to
do so) reasonable detail of the claim and the amount in question) which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the relevant Obligor.

 14.4 Tax Credit 
 If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment
and the relevant Finance Party determines that: 
  

	 	(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and 

  

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

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

	(a)	All amounts set out, or 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 VAT purposes
shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (c) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, that Party shall
pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party). 

 

	(b)	If VAT is 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 (the
Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party
shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant
tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply. 

  

 36 

	(c)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party
against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to
credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT. 

 14.7 US Tax forms 
  

	(a)	The Borrower hereby confirms to each Original Lender that it has made an election to be disregarded as an entity separate from Smithfield International Investments, Inc., a Delaware

forwarding to the Borrower (on or before the date of the first payment of interest after such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) a duly completed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8ECI, if applicable, or any successor
forms, or any other forms as may be necessary to establish a reduction in, or complete exemption from, US withholding tax on payments of interest on the Loans. 

  

	(c)	To the extent that any such forms become obsolete as a result of lapse of time or change in circumstances, each Lender shall (promptly on the request of the Borrower in the case of
such form becoming obsolete as a result of lapse of time), to the extent permitted by law, deliver to the Agent for forwarding to the Lenders, revised forms as may be necessary to establish a reduction in, or complete exemption from, US withholding
tax on such payments. 

  

	(d)	A Lender is not obliged to supply any form under paragraph (b) above if it is unable to do so by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in (or in the
interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority. 

  

	(e)	The Borrower is not obliged to pay any Tax Payment to a Lender to the extent that the Tax Payment would not have been payable if that Lender had complied with its obligations under
this Subclause. 

 15. INCREASED COSTS 
 15.1 Increased costs 
  

	(a)	Subject to Clause 15.2(c) (Increased cost claims) and Clause 15.3 (Exceptions) the Company shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the 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
or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

	(c)	The Company shall not be required to compensate a Finance Party under Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) if the relevant Finance Party has not made a demand under this Clause within 270
days after it has become aware that it has incurred an Increased Cost. 

 15.3 Exceptions 
  

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

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	compensated for by Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions
in paragraph (b) of Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) applied); 

  

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

  

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

published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form existing on the Signing Date (Basel II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a
government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates).

	(a)	Each Obligor must, promptly on request by a Finance Party incorporated in the Republic of Poland, pay to that Finance Party any amount paid by that Finance Party to the Bank

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

	(a)	Subject to this Clause 25, a Lender (the Existing Lender) may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement 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). 

  

	(b)	Unless the Borrower and the Agent otherwise agree, a transfer of part of a Commitment or the rights and obligations under this Agreement by the Existing Lender must be in a minimum
amount of euro 5,000,000. 

  

	(c)	Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant Security in relation to all or any part of its rights under the Finance Documents to secure obligations of that Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to US Federal Reserve Bank, and the provisions of this Clause (other than this Subclause) shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of Security. 

 25.2 Conditions of assignment or transfer 
  

	(a)	The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (and
if it is a requirement of Dutch law on the date of assignment or transfer that a Lender must be a Professional Market Party, the New Lender is a Professional Market Party) or unless an Event of Default has occurred which is continuing.

  

 77 

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

  

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

  

	(d)	The Agent is not obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate or otherwise give effect to an assignment or transfer until it has completed all “know your customer”
requirements to its satisfaction. The Agent must promptly notify the Existing Lender and the New Lender if there are any such requirements. 

  

	(e)	A transfer of obligations will be effective only if rights are assigned, corresponding obligations are released and equivalent obligations are acceded to in accordance with the
provisions of Clause 25.3 (Procedure for transfer by way of assignment, release and accession). 

  

	(f)	Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement. 

  

	(g)	A New Lender will execute any document which, in the opinion of the Agent, is necessary or desirable to ensure that the New Lender takes the benefit of any rights under the Finance
Documents and the Security Interests created under the Security Documents. 

  

	(h)	If the consent of the Company is required for any assignment or transfer (irrespective of whether it may be unreasonably withheld or not), the Agent is not obliged to execute a
Transfer Certificate if the Company withholds its consent. 

  

	(i)	If, on the date of an assignment or transfer, it is a requirement of Dutch law that each Lender must be a Professional Market Party on the date the assignment or transfer becomes
effective, the New Lender must make the representation as set out in paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 (Form of Transfer Certificate). 

  

	(j)	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 14 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 15 (Increased Costs), 

 then the New Lender or
Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or
change had not occurred. 
 25.3 Procedure for transfer by way of assignment, release and accession 
  

	(a)	In this Subclause:

 a reference to an assignment includes any related release and assumption. 
  

	(b)	An assignment, release and accession is effected if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agent executes it. 

 The Agent must execute as soon as
reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order. 
  

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

  

	(d)	For a transfer by assignment, release and accession under a Transfer Certificate in the form of Schedule 5 (), on the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the Existing Lender’s rights expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Transfer Certificate;

  

	 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations expressed to be the subject of the release in the Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the New Lender will become party to this Agreement as a Lender and will be bound by obligations equivalent to those from which the Existing Lender is released under paragraph
(ii) above. 

  

	(e)	A transfer under this Clause does not extinguish or otherwise affect the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance Documents. 

 25.4 Assignment or transfer fee 
 The New Lender
shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 3,500.

 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 
  

 79 

	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance
Documents or any Commitment is in force. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 25; or 

  

	 	(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.

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

reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or 

  

	 	(c)	to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation, 

 any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate and if, in the case of paragraphs
(a) and (b) above, the Person to whom the information is to be given has, prior to the receipt of any such information, entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

 No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents. 
 26.2 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries 
 The
Company may designate any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary (which is not then a member of the Polish Group or a member of the Romanian Group) at the time such Subsidiary is

the Polish Group or a member of the Romanian Group) that immediately prior to such time was a Joint Venture, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement, by delivering to the Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer (and the
Agent shall promptly forward a copy of such certificate to each Lender) containing such designation and stating that the conditions set forth in this Subclause have been satisfied with respect to such designation provided that no such designation

claims),

any asset over which security is intended to be created by any Security Document. 
 27.5 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.

provided (and whether or not expressly in the names of the Finance Parties) on its behalf.

the Security Agent, this Agreement will prevail.

	 	(i)	the Security created under the Campofrio Security Document be released under Clause 23.18(c) (Security); or

for the benefit of the Finance Parties, each Obligor submits to the jurisdiction of those courts. 

  

	(c)	The Obligors agree that the courts of England and New York are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly each Obligor waives objection to those
courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to any Dispute.

(FAO: Richard Poulson) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before any court located in the State of New York in connection with any Finance Document,

event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose. 

 41.3 Waiver of immunity

 SCHEDULE 4 
 MANDATORY COST FORMULAE 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with: 

  

	 	(a)	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or

  

	 	(b)	the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

			
	

	 	per cent. per annum

  

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

			
	

	 	per cent. per annum.

 Where: 
  

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

  

	 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of
Clause 10.4 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 

  

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

  

 108 

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

  

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

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

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

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

	9.	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon
the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same
as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 

  

 109 

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

  

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

  

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

  

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