    If:

    by way of a notice delivered to the Facility Agent no later than 5 Business Days after receipt of any applicable Initial Offer Notice (each such Lender which accepts any applicable Initial Prepayment Offer for the amount of its Distributable Share or any part thereof, being a Participating Lender).  If a Lender fails to advise the Facility Agent of its acceptance of an Initial Prepayment Offer, as required under this paragraph, then it shall be deemed to have accepted the Initial Prepayment Offer in full.

    8.2.2 The Facility Agent will advise the Borrower and the Lenders, by way of a notice (an Acceptances Confirmation) delivered to each of them within 2 Business Days following expiry of the 5 Business Day period within which any applicable Initial Prepayment Offers may be accepted, of the following:

    (b) in relation to each Participating Lender, that portion of the Declined Balance allocable to it (the Additional Prepayment Amount), being its Pro Rata Share (and for purposes of determining its Pro Rata Share it is assumed that the Senior Facility Outstandings of the Lenders declining the Initial Prepayment Offer are nil) of the Declined Balance limited to its Additional Acceptances Limit.

    8.2.3 Upon delivery of an Acceptances Confirmation:

    (a) the Borrower will be irrevocably deemed to have offered (the Additional Prepayment Offer) to pay and discharge to each Participating Lender (in addition to amounts accepted by it pursuant to Clause 8.2.1) its participation in Utilisations and other Senior Facility Outstandings that remain outstanding; and

    (b) each Participating Lender will be deemed to have accepted the Additional Prepayment Offer,

    in each case, for an amount equal to the Additional Prepayment Amount of each such Lender.

    8.3 Payment

    8.3.1 Following a receipt of Recovered Net Proceeds and delivery of an Acceptances Confirmation to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of each Participating Lender, the Accepted Prepayment Amount and the Additional Prepayment Amount (if any) of that Participating Lender, in full:

    (a) on the Interest Payment Date immediately following expiry of the 120 day period referred to in the definition of Excluded Disposal Proceeds and Excluded Insurance Proceeds (as applicable) in Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment - material disposal and insurance proceeds) if the relevant Disposal Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds have not been applied within that 120-day period; or

    
        44

    

    

    (b) if a Default is continuing, no later than the first Business Day following the date on which the Facility Agent delivers an Acceptances Confirmation to the Borrower.

    8.3.2 Following a receipt of Moneyline Proceeds and delivery of an Acceptances Confirmation to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent, for the account of each Participating Lender, the Accepted Prepayment Amount and the Additional Prepayment Amount (if any) of that Participating Lender, in full

For the avoidance of doubt, any payment to a Participating Lender pursuant to this Clause will be deemed to be a mandatory prepayment of the relevant Utilisations and other Senior Facility Outstandings and not a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Clause 7.7 (Voluntary prepayment).

    8.4 Remaining amount of Distributable Balance

    If, after having implemented the provisions of Clauses 8.1 and 8.2, the full amount of any Distributable Balance offered to Lenders is not required to be applied in or towards the payment, repayment or prepayment of Utilisation and other Senior Facility Outstandings, any remaining balance (or any part thereof) may be retained in the Group and used for the general operations of the members of the Group.

    13.2.2 The Borrower 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, as soon as reasonably practicable, 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 Borrower and that Obligor.

    13.2.3 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.

    13.2.4 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.

    13.2.5 Within thirty 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.

    13.3 Tax indemnity

    13.3.1 Each Obligor shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify each Protected Party against, and shall 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) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

    13.3.2 Clause 13.3.1 shall not apply:

    (a) 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;

    (a) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up) or relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

    13.3.3 A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 13.3.1, shall notify the Facility Agent as soon as reasonably practicable of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower or relevant Obligor of such claim.

    13.3.4 A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 13.3, notify the Facility Agent.

    13.4 Tax Credit

    Subject to Clause 29 (Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties), if an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

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

    13.4.2 that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

    the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor, as soon as reasonably practicable, 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.

    13.5 Stamp taxes

    Each Obligor shall (within three Business Days of demand) indemnify each Finance Party against, and shall pay to the relevant Finance Party, any cost, loss or liability that the relevant Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

    13.6 Value added tax

    13.6.1 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 a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Clause 13.6.2, if VAT is or becomes 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 any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party as soon as reasonably practicable).

    
        50

    

    

    13.6.2 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 Subject 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 Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

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

    13.7 FATCA information

    13.7.1 Subject to Clause 13.7.3, each Party shall, within 10 Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

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

    (i) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

    (ii) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

    (b) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable "passthrough percentage" or other information required under the US Treasury regulations or other official guidance including inter-governmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA;

    (c) 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.

    13.7.2 If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 13.7.1 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.

    13.7.3 Clause 13.7.1 shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 13.7.1(c) shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

    
        51

    

    

    (a) any law or regulation;

    (b) any fiduciary duty; or

    (c) any duty of confidentiality.

    13.7.4 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 Clause 13.7.1(a) or (b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 13.7.3 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.

    13.8 FATCA Deduction

    13.8.1 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.

    13.8.2 Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Company and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

    14. CHANGES IN COSTS

    14.1 Increased costs

    14.1.1 Subject to Clause 14.3, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the Facility Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party as a result of:

    (c) compliance with any aspect of the Basel III Framework (including any national regulation which implements the Basel III Framework) whether implemented before or after the Signature Date,

    including, without limitation, any such law or regulation (including the Basel III Framework) concerning capital adequacy requirements, liquid asset holding requirements, special deposit requirements, prudential limits, reserve assets or Tax.

    14.1.2 In this Agreement:

    Increased Costs means:

    (a) a reduction in the rate of return from the Senior Facility or on a Finance Party's overall capital (including, without limitation, as a result of any reduction in the rate of return on capital brought about by more capital being required to be allocated by such Finance Party);

    
        52

    

    

    (b) an additional or increased cost; or

    (c) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

    which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document;

    Basel III Framework means:

    (a) the agreements on capital requirements, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards contained in "Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems", "Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring" and "Guidance for national authorities operating the countercyclical capital buffer" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010, each as amended, supplemented or restated;

    (b) the rules for global systemically important banks contained in "Global systemically important banks: assessment methodology and the additional loss absorbency requirement - Rules text" published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in November 2011, as amended, supplemented or restated; and

    14.2.1 A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 14.1 shall notify the Facility Agent, as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of the claim, of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower as soon as reasonably practicable.

    14.2.2 Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

    14.3 Exceptions

    14.3.1 Clause 14.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

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

    (b) attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;

    (c) compensated for by Clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under that Clause but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in that Clause applied); or

    (d) attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party of any law or regulation.

    14.3.2 In this Clause 14.3, a reference to a Tax Deduction has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 13.1 (Definitions).

    SECTION 6
GUARANTEE

    18. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

    18.1 Guarantee and indemnity

    Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally, as a principal obligor and not merely as a surety and on the basis of discrete obligations enforceable against it:

    18.1.1 guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

    18.1.2 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever an Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; and

    18.1.3 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 an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 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 Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

    18.3 Reinstatement

    If any payment by an Obligor or any discharge, release or arrangement given by a Finance Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of insolvency, business rescue proceedings, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise):

    18.3.1 the liability of each Obligor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

    18.3.2 each Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Obligor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

    18.4 Waiver of defences

    The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

    
        57

    

    

    18.4.1 any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

    18.4.2 the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

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

    18.4.4 any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

    18.4.5 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;

    18.4.6 any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity suspension or cancellation of any obligation of any person under this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any other document or security;

    18.4.7 any insolvency, liquidation, winding-up, business rescue or similar proceedings (including, but not limited to, receipt of any distribution made under or in connection with those proceedings);

    18.4.8 this Agreement or any other Finance Document not being executed by or binding against any other Guarantor or any other party; or

    18.4.9 any other fact or circumstance arising on which a Guarantor might otherwise be able to rely on a defence based on prejudice, waiver or estoppel.

    18.5 Guarantor intent

    Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 18.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

    18.6 Immediate recourse

    Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 18.  This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

    
        58

    

    

    18.7 Deferral of Guarantors' rights

    18.7.1 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 18:

    (a) to be indemnified by an Obligor;

    (b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

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

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

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

    (f) to claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor or shareholder of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

    18.7.2 If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights, it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for, or otherwise for the benefit of, the Finance 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 31 (Payment Mechanics).

    18.8 Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

    If any Guarantor (a Retiring Guarantor) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

    18.8.1 that Retiring Guarantor is automatically 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

    18.8.2 each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation, cession of action or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

    
        59

    

    

    18.9 Additional security

    This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party (which a Finance Party may release as it sees fit, without prejudice to its rights hereunder).

    18.10 Limitations on guarantee under US law

    18.10.1 Each US Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive valuable direct or indirect benefits as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents (including utilisations thereunder).

    18.10.2 Each US Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that:

    (a) the aggregate amount of its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise (including its obligations under the Finance Documents), is not greater than the aggregate value (being the lesser of fair valuation and present fair saleable value) of its assets;

    (b) its capital is not unreasonably small to carry on its business as it is being conducted;

    (c) it has not incurred and does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature; and

    (d) it has not made a transfer or incurred any obligation under any Finance Document with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future creditors.

    18.10.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Finance Document to the extent that any US Bankruptcy or Fraudulent Transfer Law is applicable to this guarantee:

    (a) each Finance Party agrees that the maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and under the other Finance Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable US federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, in each case after giving effect to:

    (i) all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Law (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower to the extent that such Financial Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder); and

    (ii) the value as assets of such Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Law) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Guarantor pursuant to:

    (A) applicable law; or

    (B) any other agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and the Borrower and other Guarantors of obligations arising under this Agreement or other guarantees of such obligations by such parties; and

    
        60

    

    

    (b) each Party agrees that, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity), each such Guarantor shall be entitled to be indemnified from each other Guarantor, to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law and subject to the other limitation of this Clause 18.10 in an amount equal to such payment or distribution, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the contributing Guarantor and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors.

In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Borrower and any other Obligor, those of the Borrower shall prevail.

    34.5.5 Any communication given to the Borrower in connection with a Finance Document will be deemed to have been given also to the other Obligors.

    36. CONFIDENTIALITY

    36.1 Confidential Information

    Each Finance Party agrees to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by Clause 36.2, and to ensure that all Confidential Information is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.

    36.2 Disclosure of Confidential Information

    Any Finance Party may disclose:

    36.2.1 to any of its Affiliates and Related Funds and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, professional advisers, auditors, partners and Representatives such Confidential Information as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate if any person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given pursuant to this Clause 36.2.1 is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the information or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation to the Confidential Information;

    36.2.2 to any other person:

    (a) to (or through) whom it Transfers (or may potentially Transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and to any of that person's Affiliates, Related Funds, Representatives and professional advisers;

    
        111

    

    

    (b) with (or through) whom it enters into (or may potentially enter into), whether directly or indirectly, any sub-participation or other credit participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to, one or more Finance Documents and/or one or more Obligors and to any of that person's Affiliates, Related Funds, Representatives and professional advisers;

    (c) appointed by any Finance Party or by a person to whom paragraphs (a) or (b) above applies to receive communications, notices, information or documents delivered pursuant to the Finance Documents on its behalf;

    (d) who invests in or otherwise finances (or may potentially invest in or otherwise finance), directly or indirectly, any transaction referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) above;

    (e) to whom information is required or requested to be disclosed by any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority or similar body, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation;

    (f) to whom information is required to be disclosed in connection with, and for the purposes of, any litigation, arbitration, administrative or other investigations, proceedings or disputes;

    (g) who is a Party; or

    (h) with the express prior consent of the Borrower,

    in each case, such Confidential Information as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate if:

    (i) in relation to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, the person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking except that there shall be no requirement for a Confidentiality Undertaking if the recipient is a professional adviser and is subject to professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information;

    (ii) in relation to paragraph (d) above, the person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation to the Confidential Information they receive and is informed that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information; and

    (iii) in relation to paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) above, the person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given is informed of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the opinion of that Finance Party, it is not practicable so to do in the circumstances; and

    36.2.3 to any rating agency (including its professional advisers) such Confidential Information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such rating agency to carry out its normal rating activities in relation to the Finance Documents and/or the Obligors.

    
        112

    

    

    36.3 Entire agreement

    This Clause 36 constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties in relation to the obligations of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents regarding Confidential Information and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express or implied, regarding Confidential Information.

    36.4 Inside information

    Each of the Finance Parties acknowledges that some or all of the Confidential Information is or may be price-sensitive information and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market abuse and each of the Finance Parties undertakes not to use any Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose.

    36.5 Notification of disclosure

    Each of the Finance Parties agrees (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform the Borrower:

    36.5.1 of the circumstances of any disclosure of Confidential Information made pursuant to Clause 36.2.2(d) above except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in that Clause during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function; and

    36.5.2 upon becoming aware that Confidential Information has been disclosed in breach of this Clause 36.

    36.6 Continuing obligations

    The obligations in this Clause 36 are continuing and, in particular, shall survive and remain binding on each Finance Party for a period of twelve months from the earlier of:

    36.6.1 the date on which all amounts payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been paid in full and all Commitments have been cancelled or otherwise cease to be available; and

    36.6.2 the date on which such Finance Party otherwise ceases to be a Finance Party.

    37. GENERAL PROVISIONS

    37.1 Sole agreement

    The Finance Documents constitute the sole record of the agreement between the Parties in regard to the subject matter thereof.

    37.2 No implied terms

    No Party shall be bound by any express or implied term, representation, warranty, promise or the like, not recorded in a Finance Document.

    37.3 Rights and remedies

    No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The rights and remedies of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents:

    
        113

    

    

    37.3.1 are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law

    37.3.2 may be exercised as often as the Finance Party requires;

    37.3.3 may be waived only in writing and specifically.

    Delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right.

    37.4 Extensions and waivers

    No latitude, extension of time or other indulgence which may be given or allowed by any Party to any other Party in respect of the performance of any obligation or enforcement of any right under a Finance Document, and no single or partial exercise of any right by any Party, shall be construed to be an implied consent by such Party or operate as a waiver or a novation of, or otherwise affect any of that Party's rights under or in connection with a  Finance Document or estop such Party from enforcing, at any time and without notice, strict and punctual compliance with each and every provision or term of a Finance Document.

    37.5 Partial invalidity

    If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid, unenforceable or inoperable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity, enforceability or operation of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity, enforceability or operation of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.  The term inoperable in this Clause 37.5 shall include, without limitation, inoperable by way of suspension or cancellation.

    37.6 Renunciation of benefits

    Each Obligor renounces, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of each of the legal exceptions of excussion, division, revision of accounts, no value received, errore calculi, non causa debiti, non numeratae pecuniae and cession of actions, and declares that it understands the meaning of each such legal exception and the effect of such renunciation.

    37.7 Further assurances

    Each Obligor must perform, or procure the performance, of all further things, and execute and deliver (or procure the execution and delivery) of all further documents, as may be required by any applicable law or regulation or as may be necessary or desirable to:

    37.7.1 register any Security Documents in any applicable statutory public register;

    37.7.2 create, perfect, protect and maintain the Security Interests created or intended to be created under or evidenced by the Security Documents or for the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Debt Guarantor or the Finance Parties provided by or pursuant to the Finance Documents or by law;

    37.7.3 facilitate the realisation of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of the Transaction Security; and/or

    
        114

    

    

    37.7.4 implement or otherwise give effect to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and the transactions contemplated therein.

    37.8 Independent advice

    Each Obligor acknowledges that it has been free to secure independent legal and other advice as to the nature and effect of all of the provisions of the Finance Documents and that it has either taken such independent legal and other advice or dispensed with the necessity of doing so.  Further, each Obligor acknowledges that all of the provisions of each Finance Document and the restrictions therein contained are part of the overall intention of the Parties in connection with the Finance Documents.

    37.9 Counterparts

    Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

    
        115

    39.2 The Parties agree that the courts of South Africa are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle disputes.  The Parties agree not to argue to the contrary and waive objection to this court on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with any Finance Document.

As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a dispute in any other court with jurisdiction.

    40. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION IN ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCE DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER/GUARANTOR RELATIONSHIP. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, it has relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and it will continue to rely on this waiver in related future dealings. Each party hereto hereby further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE AND MAY NOT BE MODIFIED OTHER THAN BY A WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS CLAUSE 40 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

    41. WAIVER OF IMMUNITY

    Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally:

    41.1 agrees not to claim any immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process brought by a Finance Party against it in relation to a Finance Document, and to ensure that no such claim is made on its behalf;

    41.2 consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and

    
        116
