not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents. 

 

	 	(b)	The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents

Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises: 

  

	 	(i)	the Account Party on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and
instructions, to execute on its behalf any Accession Letter, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations (in each case, however fundamental) capable of being given, made or effected by any Guarantor
(notwithstanding that they may increase the Guarantor’s obligations or otherwise affect the Guarantor) and to give confirmation as to continuation of surety obligations, without further reference to or the consent of that Guarantor; and

  

	 	(ii)	each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Guarantor pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Account Party, 

and in each case the Guarantor shall be bound as though the Guarantor itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without
limitation, any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 

 

	 	(b)	Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors’
Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of a Guarantor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any Guarantor and whether occurring before or after such Guarantor became a Guarantor
under any Finance Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Guarantor as if that Guarantor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent
and any Guarantor, those of the Obligors’ Agent shall prevail.

within any time limit specified by the Account Party in the Facility Extension Request (being not less than 20 Business Days) then, subject to compliance with the terms of this clause 7 (Extension of the Facility), any other bank, financial
institution, 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 and which is acceptable to the Lenders (an “Approved New
Lender”) may provide or participate in that Facility Extension provided that such Approved New Lender is an Approved Credit Institution.

	 	(i)	the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has
ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or published
concession of any relevant taxing authority provided, however, this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent (x) the relevant Lender is a New Lender that is a Qualifying Lender at the date it becomes a New Lender (or it would have been a
Qualifying Lender on that date but for a change in any Treaty which change occurs between the date of this agreement and the date on which it becomes a New Lender) and (y) the corresponding Existing Lender would have received, in respect of a
payment, at the time of transfer or assignment to that New Lender, additional amounts with respect to such Tax Deduction pursuant to paragraphs (c) above; or 

 

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

  

	 	(e)	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. 

  
 30 

	 	(f)	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 a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other 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. 

  

	 	(g)	A Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for
that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. 

  

	 	(h)	If the Facility Agent or Security Agent is required by FATCA (including, without limitation, any voluntary agreement entered into with the Internal Revenue Service) to
withhold under FATCA with respect to a payment to a Lender, the Obligor will pay the Facility Agent or Security Agent, as applicable, such amount which (after the Obligor, the Facility Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, makes any
withholding (including, without limitation, any withholding under FATCA) with respect to such additional payment) would leave the Lender an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no such withholding under FATCA had been made.

  

	13.3	Tax Indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	The Account Party 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)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under clause 13.2 (Tax Gross-Up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in clause
13.2(d) (Tax Gross-Up) applied. 

  

	 	(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 Account Party. 

  
 31 

	 	(d)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this clause 13.3, notify the Facility Agent. 

 

	 	(e)	To the extent required by FATCA, the Facility Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Finance Document an amount equivalent to any such applicable
deduction. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Facility Agent without the applicable deduction pursuant to FATCA being withheld from such payment and the Facility Agent subsequently validly has paid over the applicable deduction to a
taxing authority, or a tax authority subsequently validly asserts a claim that the Facility Agent did not properly pursuant to FATCA withhold from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was
not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Facility Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the
Facility Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Facility Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the
Facility Agent (in each case, otherwise than by reason of the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or by reason of the Facility Agent having failed to comply with its obligations under FATCA for reasons other than that
Lender’s failure to provide information to the Facility Agent). To the extent a Lender indemnifies the Facility Agent pursuant to this paragraph (the amount of such indemnity, the “FATCA Indemnity Amount”), the Obligor will
indemnify the Lender (to the extent not otherwise indemnified under any other provision hereof) as if such FATCA Indemnity Amount was withheld by the Facility Agent on a payment to the Lender under clause 13.2(h) (Tax Gross-Up) or section 6.01(h)
(Tax Gross-Up) of the Parent Guarantee. 

  

	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 all or part of that Tax Payment; and 

  

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

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

	13.5	Lender Status Confirmation 

Each Lender which becomes a Party to this agreement after the date of this agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate,
Assignment Agreement or Accession Letter which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Facility Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in: 

 

	 	(a)	not a Qualifying Lender; 

  

	 	(b)	a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or 

  

	 	(c)	a Treaty Lender. 

 If a New
Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this clause 13.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the
Facility Agent which category applies (and the Facility Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Account Party). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of
a Lender to comply -with this clause 13.5. 

  
 32 

	13.6	United States Federal Withholding Tax 

 If a payment made to a Lender under any Finance Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax under FATCA if that Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), that Lender shall deliver to the Obligor and the Facility Agent (at such time or times reasonably requested by the Obligor or the
Facility Agent) such forms, documentation or other information prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service as may be necessary for an Obligor or the Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine either
that that Lender has complied with that Lender’s obligations under FATCA or the amount to deduct and withhold from that payment. This clause shall not apply to the extent that the provision of documentation or other information would breach any
laws applicable to that Lender or any contractual obligation binding on it. 
  

	13.7	Stamp Taxes 

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

	13.8	VAT 

  

	 	(a)	All amounts set out or expressed in a Finance Document to be payable 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 paragraph (b) below, 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
promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such 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 “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 it reasonably determines is in respect of such 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 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. 

  
 33 

	 	(d)	Any reference in this clause 13.8 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and
unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994). 

 

	14.	INCREASED COSTS 

  

	14.1	Increased Costs 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to clause 14.3 (Exceptions) the Account Party 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 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, provided, however, that for purposes of this agreement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, rules, requests,
guidelines and directives in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law or regulation regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 
  

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

  

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

 

	 	(ii)	an additional or increased cost; or 

  

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

 which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates 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. 
  

	14.2	Increased Cost Claims 

  

	 	(a)	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 14.1 (Increased Costs) shall notify the Facility Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following
which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Account Party. 

  

	 	(b)	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 

  

	 	(a)	Clause 14.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent that any Increased Cost is: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	compensated for by clause 13.3 (Tax Indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under clause 13.3 (Tax Indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of
the exclusions in clause 13.3(b) (Tax Indemnity) applied); or 

  
 34 

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

 

	 	(b)	In this clause 14.3, a reference to a “Tax Deduction” has the same meaning given to the term in clause 13.1 (Definitions). 

 

	15.	OTHER INDEMNITIES 

  

	15.1	Currency Indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	If any sum due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be
converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of: 

 

	 	(i)	making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor; 

  

	 	(ii)	obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings, 

that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is
due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate
or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum. 
  

	 	(b)	Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it
is expressed to be payable. 

  

	15.2	Other Indemnities 

 The
Account Party shall (or shall procure that an Obligor will), within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Finance Party as a result of: 

 

	 	(a)	the occurrence of any Event of Default; 

  

	 	(b)	a failure by an Obligor to pay any amount due under a Finance Document on its due date, including without limitation, any cost, loss or liability arising as a result of
clause 32 (Sharing among the Finance Parties); 

  

	 	(c)	issuing or making arrangements to issue a Letter of Credit requested by the Account Party in a Utilisation Request but not issued by reason of the operation of any one
or more of the provisions of this agreement (other than by reason of default or negligence by that Finance Party alone); and 

  

	 	(d)	any claim by the Facility Agent against any Lender pursuant to clause 29.10 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent). 

 

	15.3	Indemnity to the Facility Agent 

 The Account Party shall promptly indemnify the Facility Agent against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) as a result of: 

 

	 	(a)	investigating any event which it reasonably believes is a Default; or 

  
 35 

	 	(b)	acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which it reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised. 

 

	15.4	Indemnity to the Security Agent 

  

	 	(a)	Each Obligor shall promptly indemnify the Security Agent and every Receiver and Delegate against any cost, loss or liability incurred by any of them:

  

	 	(i)	(acting reasonably) as a result of the taking, holding or protection of the Security; 

 

	 	(ii)	as a result of enforcement of the Security; 

  

	 	(iii)	(acting reasonably at any time other than when a Default is continuing) as a result of the exercise of any of the rights, powers, discretions and remedies vested in the
Security Agent and each Receiver and Delegate by the Finance Documents or by law; or 

  

	 	(iv)	any default by any Obligor in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in the Finance Documents. 

 

	 	(b)	The Security Agent may, in priority to any payment to the Secured Parties, indemnify itself out of the Charged Property in respect of, and pay and retain, all sums
necessary to give effect to the indemnity in this clause 15.4 and shall have a lien on the Security and the proceeds of the enforcement of the Security for all monies payable to it. 

 

	16.	ILLEGALITY 

 The
provisions of this clause 16 shall take effect subject to clause 17.1 (Mitigation). If, at any time, it is or becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or prohibited pursuant to any request from or requirement of any central bank or other
fiscal, monetary or other authority (being a request or requirement with which banks are accustomed to comply) for a Lender to make, fund, issue, participate in or allow to remain outstanding all or part of the Letters of Credit, or to perform any
of its obligations as contemplated by this agreement, then: 
  

	 	(a)	that Lender shall, promptly after becoming aware of the same, deliver to the Account Party through the Facility Agent a notice to that effect; 

 

	 	(b)	that Lender shall not, following delivery of a notice in accordance with paragraph (a) above, be obliged to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit and its
Commitment shall be immediately reduced to zero; 

  

	 	(c)	if that Lender so requires, the Account Party shall, on such date as the Facility Agent shall have specified: 

 

	 	(i)	repay all amounts owing to that Lender under this agreement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	ensure that the liabilities of that Lender under or in respect of each affected Letter of Credit are reduced to zero or otherwise secured by providing Cash Collateral
in an amount equal to that Lender’s Proportion of the Outstandings under that Letter of Credit; and 

  

	 	(d)	the Account Party shall use best endeavours to procure that the liabilities of that Lender under or in respect of each affected Letter of Credit are promptly reduced to
zero and/or a replacement Lender is identified who is prepared to take an assignment of the liabilities of that Lender in accordance with clause 27.5 (Procedure for Transfer or Accession). 

  
 36 

	17.	MITIGATION BY THE LENDERS 

  

	17.1	Mitigation 

  

	 	(a)	Each Finance Party shall, in consultation with the Account Party, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any

under the Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office.

under clause 17.1 (Mitigation). 

  

	 	(b)	A Finance Party is not obliged to take any steps under clause 17.1 (Mitigation) if, in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might be
prejudicial to it. 

  

	18.	COSTS AND EXPENSES 

  

	18.1	Transaction Expenses 

 The
Account Party shall, promptly on demand pay the Facility Agent, the Arrangers and the Security Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
printing, execution, syndication and perfection of: 
  

	 	(a)	this agreement and any other documents referred to in this agreement and the Security; and 

 

	 	(b)	any other Finance Documents executed after the date of this agreement. 

  

	18.2	Amendment Costs 

 If
(a) an Obligor or the Parent requests an amendment, waiver or consent or (b) an amendment is required pursuant to clause 33.9 (Change of Currency), the Account Party shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the Facility
Agent, the Security Agent and any Receiver for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in responding to, evaluating, negotiating or complying with that request or requirement. 

 

	18.3	Security Agent’s Ongoing Costs 

  

	 	(a)	In the event of: 

  

	 	(i)	a Default; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Security Agent considering it necessary or expedient; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Security Agent being requested by an Obligor, the Parent or the Majority Lenders to undertake duties which the Security Agent and the Account Party agree to be of
an exceptional nature and/or outside the scope of the normal duties of the Security Agent under the Finance Documents, the Account Party shall pay to the Security Agent any additional remuneration that may be agreed between them.

  
 37 

	 	(b)	If the Security Agent and the Account Party fail to agree upon the nature of the duties or upon any additional remuneration, that dispute shall be determined by an
investment bank (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Security Agent and approved by the Account Party or, failing approval, nominated (on the application of the Security Agent) by the President for the time being of the Law
Society of England and Wales (the costs of the nomination and of the investment bank being payable by the Account Party) and the determination of any investment bank shall be final and binding upon the Parties. 

 

	18.4	Enforcement and Preservation Costs 

 The Account Party shall, within three Business Days of demand, pay to the Arrangers and each other Secured Party the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by it in connection

	19.	DEFAULT INTEREST AND BREAKAGE COSTS 

  

	19.1	Default Interest Periods 

 If any sum due and payable by an Obligor under a Finance Document is not paid on its due date or if any sum due and payable by the Obligor under any judgement of any court in connection with any Finance
Document is not paid on the date of such judgement, the period beginning on such due date or, as the case may be, the date of such judgement and ending on the date upon which the obligation of such Obligor to pay such sum is discharged shall be
divided into successive periods, each of which (other than the first) shall start on the last day of the preceding such period and the duration of each of which shall (except as otherwise provided in this clause 19) be selected by the Facility
Agent. 
  

	19.2	Default Interest 

 An
Unpaid Sum shall bear interest during each Term in respect thereof at the rate per annum which is the sum from time to time of 2.0 per cent per annum above LIBOR (on the Quotation Day therefor) plus: 

 

	 	(a)	in respect of any portion of an Unpaid Sum under clause 10.1 (Account Party’s Indemnity to the Lenders) which is Cash Collateralised, 0.30 per cent per annum;
and 

  

	 	(b)	in respect of the balance of an Unpaid Sum or any other Unpaid Sum, 2.125 per cent per annum. 

 

	19.3	Payment of Default Interest 

 Any interest which has accrued under clause 19.2 (Default Interest) in respect of an Unpaid Sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the Obligor owing such Unpaid Sum on the last day of each
Interest Period in respect thereof or on such other dates as the Facility Agent may specify by notice to such Obligor or the Parent (as the case may be). 
  

	19.4	Break Costs 

 If any
Lender or the Facility Agent on its behalf receives or recovers all or any part of an Unpaid Sum otherwise than on the last day of a Term in respect thereof, the Account 

  
 38 

 
Party shall pay to the Facility Agent on demand for the account of that Lender an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) the additional interest which would have been payable on
the amount so received or recovered had it been received or recovered on the last day of such Term exceeds (b) the amount of interest which in the opinion of the Facility Agent would have been payable to the Facility Agent on the last day of
that Term in respect of a sterling deposit equal to the amount so received or recovered placed by it with a prime bank in the London Interbank Market for a period starting on the first Business Day following the date of such receipt or recovery and
ending on the last day of that Term. 
  

	20.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 

  

	20.1	Absence of Quotations 

Subject to clause 20.2 (Market Disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not
supply a quotation by 11.00 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	20.2	Market Disruption 

  

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

  

					
	(i)	    	two per cent per annum; plus
		
	(ii)	    	the rate notified to the Facility 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 Unpaid Sum from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
			
	(iii)	    	(A)	    	in respect of any portion of an Unpaid Sum under clause 10.1 (Account Party’s Indemnity to the Lenders) which is Cash Collateralised, 0.30 per cent per annum;
and
			
		    	(B)	    	in respect of the balance of an Unpaid Sum or any other Unpaid Sum, 2.125 per cent per annum.

  

	 	(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 Facility
Agent to determine 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 Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in
a Loan exceed 35 per cent of that Unpaid Sum) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.

  

	20.3	Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding 

  

	 	(a)	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Account Party so requires, the Facility Agent and the Account Party shall enter into negotiations (for
a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. 

  
 39 

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

  

	21.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 

  

	21.1	Guarantee and Indemnity 

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally: 

 

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Guaranteed Finance Party punctual performance by each other Group Obligor of all that Group Obligor’s obligations under the Guaranteed
Documents; 

  

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

  

	 	(c)	agrees with each Guaranteed 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 Guaranteed Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Account Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or
illegality, have been payable by it under any Guaranteed 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 21 if the amount
claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 

  

	21.2	Continuing Guarantee 

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

	21.3	Reinstatement 

 If any
discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Group Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Guaranteed Finance 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 each Guarantor under this clause 21 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release
or arrangement had not occurred. 
  

	21.4	Waiver of Defences 

 The
obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 21 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 21 (without limitation and whether

part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Guaranteed Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Guaranteed Document where such rights or security are

	 	(iii)	 the Facility Agent, the Arrangers, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between

  
 63 

	 	
themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that
extent the Facility Agent, the Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

	 	(c)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(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 27.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the
relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with clause 27.5 (Procedure for Transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender)
provided that they comply with the conditions set out in clause 27.2 (Conditions of Assignment, Transfer or Accession).

a party to any of the Finance Documents; or 

  

	 	(ii)	require any payments to be made by an 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.

Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Facility Agent nor the Arrangers are obliged to disclose to any other person:

  

	 	(i)	any confidential information; or

	 	(a)	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

and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt 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, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of clause 36.2 (Addresses) and clause 36.6(a)(iii) (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. 

  

	29.14	Credit Appraisal by the Lenders 

 Without affecting the responsibility of any Group Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the
Arrangers that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

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.

part of any such delegate or sub-delegate. 

  

	30.24	Additional Security Agents 

  

	 	(a)	The Security Agent may at any time appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with it (i) if it considers
that appointment to be in the interests of the Secured Parties or (ii) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions which the Security Agent deems to be relevant or (iii) for obtaining or enforcing
any judgment in any jurisdiction, and the Security Agent shall give prior notice to the Account Party and to the Facility Agent of that appointment.

	32.	SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

 If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from any Obligor other than in accordance with clause 33 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered
Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then: 
  

	 	(a)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the 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 33 (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 33.5 (Partial Payments).

  

	32.2	Redistribution of Payments 

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance

	32.3	Recovering Finance Party’s Rights 

 On a distribution by the Facility Agent under clause 32.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the

	32.4	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 

  
 79 

	 	(b)	as between the relevant 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 Obligor. 

  

	32.5	Exceptions 

  

	 	(a)	This clause 32 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this clause, have a valid and enforceable
claim against the relevant Obligor. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	it notified 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.

	33.1	Payments to the Facility Agent 

  

	 	(a)	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the

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 with such bank as the Facility Agent specifies.

  

	33.2	Distributions by the Facility Agent 

 Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to clause 33.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and clause 33.4 (Clawback), be made available by the

Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London).

  

	33.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with clause 34 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency
and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 
  

	33.4	Clawback 

  

	 	(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

 80 

	 	(b)	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. 

  

	33.5	Partial Payments 

  

	 	(a)	If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility

	 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility Agent and the Security Agent under the Finance Documents;

  

	 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this agreement;

deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 
  

	33.7	Business Days 

  

	 	(a)	Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the
preceding Business Day (if there is not). 

  

	 	(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate
payable on the original due date.

	 	(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 Account Party); 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 Account Party)
specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. 

 

	33.10	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 the Account Party that a Disruption Event has occurred: 

 

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

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 Account Party shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding
upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of clause 40 (Amendments and Waivers); 

  
 82 

	 	(e)	the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category

Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each
case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

this clause 33.11 shall give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Facility Agent for distribution in accordance with clause 33.2
(Distributions by the Facility Agent). 

  

	34.	SET-OFF 

 Following an
Event of Default which is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance
Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual

Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within five 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.

 Letter of Comfort 
 [on Lloyd’s letterhead] 

To: 
 Chaucer Holdings plc 

Plantation Place 
 30 Fenchurch Street

 London, EC3M 3AD 
 [date]

 Dear Sir / Madam 
 CHAUCER
HOLDINGS PLC 
  

	1.	We acknowledge that Chaucer Holdings plc (Holdings) has procured or may procure the provision to Lloyd’s of: (i) a syndicated letter of credit provided to
Lloyd’s in respect of Chaucer Corporate Capital (No.2) Limited (CCCL2) by Lloyds TSB Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc pursuant to a facility agreement dated on or about the date of this letter, such letter of
credit having a face value (at the date of this letter) of U.S.$180,000,000 (the Bank LOC); and (ii) a letter of credit having a face value (at the date of this letter) of U.S.$94,900,000 issued pursuant to a reinsurance agreement with
Flagstone Reassurance Suisse S.A. - Bermuda Branch (the Reinsurer LOC). The Bank LOC and the Reinsurer LOC (together the Letters of Credit) form part of the funds at Lloyd’s of CCCL2. 

 

	2.	We further acknowledge that the Bank LOC and the Reinsurer LOC, together with a covenant to pay in respect of CCCL2 in the amount of £230,500,000 given by
Holdings pursuant to a Deed of Covenant with Lloyd’s to be dated on or around the date of this letter have been made interavailable to Chaucer Corporate Capital (No.3) Limited (CCCL3) to support its underwriting in respect of Syndicates 1084
and 1176 for the 2012 and 2013 years of account (together the Interavailable FAL). 

  

	3.	We further acknowledge that CCCL3’s Lloyd’s deposit account includes cash and/or investments in the amount of £84,000,000 which forms part of its funds
at Lloyd’s (CCCL3 Own FAL). 

  

	4.	You have asked whether, in the event of monies having to be drawn down or applied out of CCCL2 and CCCL3’s funds at Lloyd’s, the Letters of Credit and other
funds at Lloyd’s of CCCL2 and CCCL3 may be drawn down in a pre-determined order namely: 

  

	 	(a)	in respect of CCCL2’s participation on Syndicates 1084 and 1176 for the 2011 and prior open years of account, Syndicate 4242 for the 2010 and prior open years of
account and Syndicate 4000 for the 2008 open year of account: 

  

	 	(i)	first, from any of CCCL2’s funds at Lloyd’s (other than CCCL2’s funds at Lloyd’s comprising the Bank LOC and the Reinsurer LOC) (to the extent not
previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of CCCL3 pursuant to paragraph 3(b) below) until such funds are exhausted; 

  
 104

	 	(ii)	secondly, from the Reinsurer LOC (to the extent not previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of CCCL3 pursuant to paragraph 3(b) below) until such funds are
exhausted; and 

  

	 	(iii)	thirdly, from the Bank LOC (to the extent not previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of CCCL3 pursuant to paragraph 3(b) below) until such funds are
exhausted, 

  

	 	(b)	in respect of CCCL3’s participation on Syndicates 1084 and 1176 for the 2012 and 2013 years of account: 

 

	 	(i)	first, from the CCCL3 Own FAL; 

  

	 	(ii)	secondly, from any of the Interavailable FAL (other than the Bank LOC and the Reinsurer LOC) (to the extent not previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of
CCCL2 pursuant to paragraph 3(a) above) until such funds are exhausted; 

  

	 	(iii)	thirdly, from the Reinsurer LOC (to the extent not previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of CCCL2 pursuant to paragraph 3(a) above) until such funds are
exhausted; and 

  

	 	(iv)	fourthly, from the Bank LOC (to the extent not previously applied to meet a Lloyd’s obligation of CCCL2 pursuant to paragraph 3(a) above) until such funds are
exhausted. 

  

	5.	As you are aware, the Letters of Credit and other funds at Lloyd’s of CCCL2 and CCCL3 are held by Lloyd’s in its capacity as trustee. Any decision to draw
down or apply any such Letter of Credit involves an exercise of discretion in light of the circumstances prevailing at the time of such decision and thus no binding undertaking can be given now by Lloyd’s as to the order of drawdown or
application. 

  

	6.	However, we confirm that at the time of considering the drawdown or application of CCCL2’s and CCCL3’s funds at Lloyd’s (as the case may be),
Lloyd’s will take into account the requested order of drawdown set out in paragraph 3 of this letter. 

  

	7.	In relation to paragraph 5 above, it should be noted that the funds at Lloyd’s requirements of CCCL2 and CCCL3 for the 2013 year of account have not yet been
determined by Lloyd’s. Accordingly, this letter should not be taken as confirmation that the assets comprising CCCL2’s and CCCL3’s funds at Lloyd’s for the 2012 year of account will meet the funds at Lloyd’s requirement of
those members for the 2013 year of account (and paragraph 2 of this letter should be construed accordingly). 

  

	8.	For the avoidance of doubt, Lloyd’s shall not be responsible to you or any other person for any losses incurred by you or such other person as a consequence of
acting in reliance upon this letter. 

  

	
	Yours faithfully
	
	  

	
	for and on behalf of
	
	Lloyd’s of London

 ARTICLE II

 GUARANTY 
 Section 2.01 The Guaranty. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the due and punctual payment of any amounts due under or in
connection with any Guaranteed Document, together with all renewals, modifications, consolidations or extensions thereof and whether now or hereafter due, owing or incurred in any manner, whether actual or contingent, whether incurred solely or
jointly with any other Person and whether as principal or surety (and including all liabilities in connection with any notes, bills or other instruments accepted by any Guaranteed Finance Party in connection therewith), together in each case with
all renewals, modifications, consolidations or extensions thereof (all such obligations being herein collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a
maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any
provisions of applicable state Law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer
Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of the Guarantor (i) in 
  
 Parent Guaranty 
 DC 58448

respect of intercompany indebtedness to any other Group Obligor or any of its Affiliates to the extent that such indebtedness (A) would be discharged or would be subject to a right of
set-off in an amount equal to the amount paid by the Guarantor hereunder or (B) has been pledged to, and is enforceable by, the Security Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Finance Parties and (ii) under any guaranty of Debt subordinated in
right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations which guaranty contains a limitation as to a maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph pursuant to which the liability of the Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken
into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets of the Guarantor to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of the Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable Law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among the Guarantor and any other Group Obligor and its Affiliates of obligations
arising under guaranties by such parties (including the agreements in Article II of this Agreement). If the Guarantor’s liability hereunder is limited pursuant to this paragraph to an amount that is less than the total amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations, then it is understood and agreed that the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations for which the Guarantor is liable hereunder shall be the last portion of the Guaranteed Obligations to be repaid. 

Section 2.02 Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Documents, regardless of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Guaranteed Finance Parties with respect thereto. The obligations of the
Guarantor under this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the
Account Party or any other Group Obligor or whether the Account Party or any other Group Obligor is joined in any such action or actions. This Agreement is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment when due, and not of collection, by the
Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in each and every particular. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are several from those of the other Group Obligors and are primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal obligor.
The Guaranteed Finance Parties shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which
the Guarantor may have at any time against any other Group Obligor or any Guaranteed Finance Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any Group Obligor to any Guaranteed Finance Party under the Guaranteed Documents but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Account Party or such Group Obligor. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected or impaired by: 

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, acceleration, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any
Group Obligor or any Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing any Guaranteed Obligation, by operation of Law or otherwise; 

(ii) any change in the manner, place, time or terms of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any other amendment,
supplement or modification to the Facility Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing any Guaranteed Obligation; 

(iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any Guaranteed Obligation, any
sale, exchange, surrender, realization upon, offset against or other action in respect of any direct or indirect security for any Guaranteed Obligation or any release of any other Group Obligor or any other guarantor or guarantors of any Guaranteed
Obligation; 
  
 Parent Guaranty 

DC 58448 

  
 12 

 (iv) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Group
Obligor or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or other similar proceeding affecting any Group Obligor or its assets or any resulting disallowance, release or discharge of all or any
portion of any Guaranteed Obligation, other than in connection with the payment in full of all obligations under and termination of the Guaranteed Documents; 
 (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against any other Group Obligor, any Guaranteed Finance Party or any other Person, whether in connection
herewith or any unrelated transaction; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Group Obligor for any reason of the Facility Agreement,
any other Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing any Guaranteed Obligation or any provision of applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment by any Group Obligor of any Guaranteed Obligation; 

(vii) any failure by any Guaranteed Finance Party: (A) to file or enforce a claim against any Group Obligor or its
estate (in a bankruptcy or other proceeding); (B) to give notice of the existence, creation or incurrence by any Group Obligor of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation under or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (C) to
commence any action against any Group Obligor; (D) to disclose to the Guarantor any facts which such Guaranteed Finance Party may now or hereafter know with regard to any Group Obligor; or (E) to proceed with due diligence in the
collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (viii) any
direction as to application of payment by any Group Obligor or any other Person; 
 (ix) any subordination by any
Guaranteed Finance Party of the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation to the payment of any other liability (whether matured or unmatured) of any Group Obligor to its creditors; 

(x) any act or failure to act by any Guaranteed Finance Party under this Agreement or otherwise which may deprive the
Guarantor of any right to subrogation, contribution or reimbursement against any other Group Obligor or any right to recover full indemnity for any payments made by the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; or 

(xi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Group Obligor or any Guaranteed Finance Party or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this clause, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

The Guarantor has irrevocably and unconditionally delivered this Agreement to the Facility Agent and the Security Agent, for the benefit
of the Guaranteed Finance Parties, and the failure by any other Group Obligor or any other Person to sign this Agreement or a guaranty similar to this Agreement or otherwise shall not discharge the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The
irrevocable and unconditional liability of the Guarantor hereunder applies whether it is jointly and 
  
 Parent Guaranty 
 DC 58448 

  
 13 

 
severally liable for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or only for a pro-rata portion, and without regard to any rights (or the impairment thereof) of subrogation, contribution or
reimbursement that the Guarantor may now or hereafter have against any other Group Obligor or any other Person. This Agreement is and shall remain fully enforceable against the Guarantor irrespective of any defenses that any Group Obligor may have
or assert in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, except that the Guarantor may
assert the defense of final payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 2.03 Payments.

 (a) Payments to be Made When Due. The Guarantor shall, forthwith on demand of the Facility Agent or (as
applicable) the Security Agent following the failure of any Group Obligor to make any payment under the Guaranteed Documents when due, including following the acceleration of the maturity of any Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to Clause 26.27
(Events of Default, Acceleration and Cancellation) of the Facility Agreement, pay the aggregate amount of all Guaranteed Obligations to the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent. 

(b) General Provisions as to Payments. Each payment hereunder shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other
deduction, in immediately available funds, to the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent at the address(es) referred to in Section 7.01. 
 (c) Application of Payments. All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent in connection with this Agreement (the

(i) in discharging any sums owing to the Facility Agent or Security Agent under the Guaranteed Documents; 

(ii) in payment to the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Finance Parties (or, in the case of the Overdraft Facility,
directly to Security Agent on behalf of the Overdraft Provider), for application on a pro rata basis towards the discharge of all sums due and payable by any Group Obligor under any of the Guaranteed Documents (to be applied) in accordance with
Clause 33.5 (Payment Mechanics, Partial Payments) of the Facility Agreement and the Overdraft Facility Letter to the extent that it constitutes Permitted Financial Indebtedness. 

(d) Investment of Proceeds. Prior to the application of the proceeds of the Guaranty Payments in
accordance with subsection (c) above, the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent may, in its discretion, hold all or part of those proceeds in an interest-bearing suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of the Facility Agent
or (as applicable) the Security Agent with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Facility Agent shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending the application from time to time of those
monies in the Facility Agent’s or (as applicable) the Security Agent’s discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.03. 
 (e) Currency Conversion. 
 (i) For the purpose of, or
pending the discharge of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent may convert any moneys received or recovered by the Facility Agent from one currency to another, at the Facility Agent’s spot

 Parent Guaranty 

DC 58448 

  
 14 

 (ii) The obligations of the Guarantor 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. 
 (f)
Permitted Deductions. The Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent shall be entitled, in its discretion, (i) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and (ii) to make and pay, any deductions and
withholdings (on account of taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity
as Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent under any of the Guaranteed Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under the Guaranteed Documents). 

Section 2.04 Discharge; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect until the latest to occur of: 
 (i) payment in full in cash of all Debt
outstanding, together with all interest (including interest accruing on or after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not a claim for such interest is, or would be, allowed in such proceeding under any Debtor

remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations until the Discharge of Finance Obligations. If at any time any payment by any other Group Obligor or any other Person of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned

other Group Obligor or other Person or any substantial part of its respective property or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such
time. The Guarantor party hereto agrees that payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other acts which toll any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall also toll the statute of limitations
applicable to the Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

 (v) any full or partial release of the liability of any other Group Obligor
or of any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, it being recognized,
acknowledged and agreed by the Guarantor that it may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other Person, and the Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Agreement on the basis of a
contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that any party other than the Account Party will be liable to perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that the Guaranteed Finance Parties will look to any other party to perform the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(ix) the failure of the Guaranteed Finance Party or any other Person to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the

contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any collateral; 

(xi) [reserved]; 
 (xii) any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices the Guarantor or
increases the likelihood that the Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of the Guarantor that the Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the
Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not contemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment

or

 (xv) any other circumstance that might in any manner or to any extent
otherwise constitute a defense available to, vary the risk of, or operate as a discharge of, the Guarantor as a matter of Law or equity. 
 All
waivers herein contained shall be without prejudice to the right of the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent at its option to proceed against any Group Obligor or any other Person, whether by separate action or by joinder.

 Section 2.06 Agreement to Pay; Subordination of Subrogation Claims. In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right that any Guaranteed Finance Party has at Law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Group Obligor to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, or such Guaranteed Finance Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid
Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Facility Agent or any Guaranteed Finance Party as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against any other Group Obligor arising as a result thereof by way of right of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations and Discharge of Finance
Obligations. No failure on the part of any other Group Obligor or any other Person to make any payments in respect of any subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right (or any other payments required under applicable Law or
otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Finance Parties and shall forthwith be turned over to the Facility Agent in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly endorsed by the Guarantor to
the Facility Agent, if required) to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Documents. 

Section 2.07 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any other
Group Obligor under or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of such other Group Obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Facility any Guaranteed Document or
any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Facility Agent or (as applicable) the Security Agent or, following payment in full
of the Guaranteed Obligations, the applicable Guaranteed Finance Parties under the applicable Guaranteed Documents, in the manner provided in Section 2.01. 
 Section 2.08 No Set-Off. No act or omission of any kind or at any time on the part of any Guaranteed Finance Party in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in any way affect or
impair the rights of any Guaranteed Finance Party to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement, and no set-off, claim, reduction or diminution of any Guaranteed Obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which the Guarantor has
or may have against any other Group Obligor or any Guaranteed Finance Party shall be available against any Guaranteed Finance Party in any suit or action brought by any Guaranteed Finance Party to enforce any right, power or benefit provided for by
this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion by the Guarantor of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by the Guarantor of any rights
or claims which it may have against any Guaranteed Finance Party hereunder or otherwise, but any recovery upon such rights and claims shall be had from such Guaranteed Finance Party separately, it being the intent of this Agreement that the
Guarantor shall be unconditionally, absolutely and jointly and severally obligated to perform fully all its obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder for the benefit of each Guaranteed Finance Party.

Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the net worth of the
Guarantor on the date that the obligation(s) supporting such claim were incurred under the Guaranteed Documents and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Group Obligors (other than the Account Party) on such date. Any

 Section 4.05 Relation to Facility Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
none of the provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 4.04) shall be deemed to alter or modify in any way the representations, covenants or obligations of the Obligors under the Facility Agreement (including,
but not limited to Clause 25 (General Undertakings) of the Facility Agreement). 
 Section 4.06 Certain
Agreements. The Guarantor hereby additionally represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 (a) (i) The Guarantor
agrees to comply with each of the covenants contained in the Facility Agreement that impose or purport to impose, through agreements with the Account Party, restrictions or obligations on the Guarantor and (ii) the Guarantor hereby agrees that
Clause 33.11 of the Facility Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement, and references therein to “Obligor” shall be deemed to be references to the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a); 

(b) The Guarantor acknowledges that any default in the due observance or performance by the Guarantor of any covenant, condition or
agreement contained herein may constitute an Event of Default under Clause 26 (Events of Default) of the Facility Agreement; 
 (c) The Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Guaranteed Finance Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. The Guarantor has investigated fully the benefits and advantages which will be derived by it from execution of this Agreement, and the Board of Directors (or persons performing similar functions in case of the
Guarantor which is not a corporation) of the Guarantor has decided that a direct or an indirect benefit will accrue to the Guarantor by reason of the execution of this Agreement; 

(d) (i) This Agreement is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person to which the Guarantor is or will become,
on or after the date hereof, indebted; and (ii) the Guarantor has received at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Agreement; 
 (e) The Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that the Facility Agent is acting as an agent on behalf of itself and the other Guaranteed Finance Parties pursuant to Clause 29 (Role of the Facility Agent
and the Arrangers) of the Facility Agreement, and the Security Agent is acting as an agent on behalf of the Overdraft Provider pursuant to Clause 30 (Role of the Security Agent) of the Facility Agreement; and 

(f) If the Guarantor agrees after the date hereof to any covenants in the Hanover Credit Agreement that are more stringent or restrictive
as to the Guarantor than such limitations or covenants in this Agreement, then this Agreement will be deemed amended automatically, without any further action by the Guarantor, the Facility Agent or any other Person, to benefit from such covenants
that are more stringent or restrictive, as the case may be, such that a breach thereof shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, regardless of any waiver or forbearance granted by the creditors under the Hanover Credit Agreement; provided that
such limitations and financial covenants shall be deemed included in this Agreement for only so long as the same shall be in effect in the Hanover Credit Agreement. The Guarantor agrees to inform the Facility Agent promptly of any such amendments to
the Hanover Credit Agreement and to furnish a copy of the documentation containing such covenants. The Guarantor and the Facility Agent further agree to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as reasonably requested by the Facility Agent or
the Guarantor so as to conform this Agreement to the changes contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.06(f) (including its proviso), it being understood that the failure to effect any such amendment shall not limit the
effectiveness of the first sentence of this Section 4.06(f) (including its proviso).

Section 4.08 Subordination by Guarantor. In addition to the terms of subordination provided for under
Section 2.07, the Guarantor hereby subordinates in right of payment all indebtedness of the other Group Obligors owing to it, whether originally contracted with the Guarantor or acquired by the Guarantor by assignment, transfer or
otherwise, whether now owed or hereafter arising, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, together with all renewals, extensions, increases or rearrangements thereof, to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether now owed or hereafter arising, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such
proceeding), fees, expenses or otherwise, together with all renewals, extensions, increases or rearrangements thereof. 

ARTICLE V 

SET-OFF

and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Facility Agreement, each Guaranteed Finance Party (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Guaranteed Finance Party (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Guaranteed Finance Party wherever located) to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor against
obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor then due to the Guaranteed Finance Parties hereunder, under the other Guaranteed Documents or otherwise, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Guaranteed Finance Party subsequent thereto. The Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent permitted by Law any Person purchasing a participation in the Facility, whether or
not acquired pursuant to the arrangements provided for in Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders) of the Facility Agreement, may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Guaranteed
Finance Party.

Deduction is required by law. 
 (b) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Guarantor, the amount of the
payment due from the Guarantor 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; provided, however, in no event shall a
Guaranteed Finance Party be entitled to receive a payment from the Guarantor under this Section 6.01(b) in respect of amounts that would not have been entitled to be increased by an Obligor under Clause 13.2 (Tax Gross-Up) of the
Facility Agreement. 
  
 Parent Guaranty 

DC 58448

 (c) A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (b) above by reason of a Tax
Deduction on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom if on the date on which the payment falls due: 
 (i)
the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the
date it became a Lender under the Facility Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority provided, however, this
clause (i) shall not apply to the extent (x) the relevant Lender is a New Lender that would have been a Qualifying Lender on the date of the Facility Agreement and (y) the corresponding Existing Lender would have received, in respect
of a payment, at the time of transfer or assignment to that New Lender, additional amounts with respect to such Tax Deduction pursuant to paragraphs (c) above; or 

(ii) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Guarantor is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made
to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Clause 13.2(g) (Tax Gross-Up) of the Facility Agreement. 
 (d) A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (b) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by the United States if it relates to: 

(i) any Tax (other than a withholding Tax under FATCA) that is in effect at such time that a payment is first required to
be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement and would apply (even if the proper certificates and documentation were given to the Guarantor) to amounts payable hereunder at such time a Lender becomes a party to the Facility Agreement, or designates
a new Facility Office, except to the extent such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new Facility Office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to
Section 6.01(b); and 
 (ii) Taxes imposed as a result of Section 6.01(e)(iii).

 (i) Each Lender that is not a “U.S. person” as defined in section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, on or prior to the date that a payment is first required to be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter as required by law or as requested in writing by the Guarantor, shall (but only so
long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) provide the Guarantor with an applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States, or if a Lender is not the beneficial owner of any obligation of the Guarantor (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), duly completed
copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and the applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9 from each beneficial owner.

of the Code, on or prior to the date that a payment is first required to be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter as required by law or as requested in writing by the Guarantor (but only so long as such Lender
remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Guarantor with an IRS Form W-9 or any successor form certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. 

(iii) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Guarantor with the appropriate form
described in Section 6.01(e)(i) or (ii) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required
under the first sentence of Section 6.01(e)(i) or (ii) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to increase under Section 6.01(b) with respect to Tax Deductions imposed by the United States. 

(f) If the Guarantor is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with
that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 
 (g) Within 30 days of making either a
Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other 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. 
 (h) If the Facility Agent or Security Agent is required by FATCA (including, without limitation, any voluntary agreement entered into with the Internal Revenue Service) to withhold under FATCA with
respect to a payment to a Lender, the Guarantor will pay the Facility Agent or Security Agent, as applicable, such amount which (after the Guarantor, the Facility Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, makes any withholding (including, without
limitation, any withholding under FATCA) with respect to such additional payment) would leave the Lender an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no such withholding under FATCA had been made. 

Section 6.02 Currency Indemnity. 
 (a) If any sum due from the Guarantor under the Guaranteed Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency

 (i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor; 
 (ii)
obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings, 
 the Guarantor shall as an
independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the
rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.
