	 	(i)	 the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other document; or

accordance with the terms of this Agreement), an undivided interest and participation in the Guarantee in an amount equal to its Guarantee Proportion of that Guarantee. On receipt of demand from the Agent, that Bank shall pay to the Agent (for the
account of the Issuing Bank) an amount equal to its Guarantee Proportion of the amount demanded.

 26 

 the Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the
Specified Time on that day. In this event, any Bank that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 8.2 will be required to participate in the Utilisation in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Bank’s proportion of the Base Currency
Amount or, in respect of a Rollover Loan or Renewal Request an amount equal to that Bank’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the maturing Loan or Guarantee that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate
Utilisation denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period or Guarantee Period as applicable. 
  

	(b)	 If, following a claim under Clause 7.4(b) (Indemnities), a Bank is unable to indemnify the Issuing Bank in the relevant Optional Currency, that Bank

	 	(i)	 on the same day that a maturing Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower; 

 

	 	(ii)	 in the same currency as the maturing Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of Clause 8.2 (Unavailiability of a currency)); and

  

	 	(iii)	 for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan, 

the aggregate amount of the new Loans shall be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Loan so that:

  

	 	(A)	 if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Loans: 

 

	 	I.	 the relevant Borrower will only be required to pay an amount in cash in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

  

	 	II.	 each Bank’s participation (if any) in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards
repayment of that Bank’s participation (if any) in the maturing Loan and that Bank will not be required to make its participation in the new Loans available in cash; and 

 

	 	(B)	 if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Loans: 

  
 27 

	 	I.	 the relevant Borrower will not be required to make any payment in cash; and 

 

	 	II.	 each Bank will be required to make its participation in the new Loans available in cash only to the extent that its participation (if any) in the
new Loans exceeds that Bank’s participation (if any) in the maturing Loan and the remainder of that Bank’s participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of
that Bank’s participation in the maturing Loan. 

  

	(c)	 If a Guarantee or any amount outstanding under a Guarantee becomes immediately payable under the Facility Agreement, the Borrower which requested
that Guarantee shall repay or prepay that amount immediately. 

  

	10.	 PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

	 	(ii)	 any Bank claims indemnification from a Borrower under Clause 15.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 16.1 (Increased costs),

notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Bank and its intention to procure the repayment of that Bank’s participation in the Utilisations.

	(e)	 For so long as an Event of Default is outstanding, each of the Margin, the Financial Guarantee Fee and the Performance Guarantee Fee will be the
highest rate under paragraph (b) above. 

  

	(f)	 If a Borrower is in default of its obligation under this Agreement to provide a Compliance Certificate, each of the Margin, the Financial Guarantee
Fee and the Performance Guarantee Fee shall continue at its current level until such Compliance Certificate has been provided to the Agent. 

  
 31 

 
If, once delivered, the Compliance Certificate shows that the Margin, the Financial Guarantee Fee and/or the Performance Guarantee Fee should be at a higher level, that Borrower must immediately
pay to the Agent any shortfall in the amount which would have been paid to the Banks if the Margin, Financial Guarantee Fee and/or Performance Guarantee Fee (as the case may be) had been calculated at the time the Compliance Certificate should have
been delivered. 
  

	11.4	 Default interest 

  

	(a)	 If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the
due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate equal to the aggregate of:

	 	(ii)	 the rate quoted by the Agent to leading banks in the London interbank market on the relevant rate fixing day for the offering of deposits in the
currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods or, in the case of a Guarantee, successive Guarantee Periods each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably); and 

 

	 	(iii)	 Mandatory Cost, if any. 

 Any interest accruing under this Clause 11.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent. 
  

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

Business Day (if there is not). 
  

	13.	 CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 

  

	13.1	 Absence of quotations 

 Subject to Clause 13.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified
Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR or EURIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	13.2	 Market disruption 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	 the Margin; 

  

	 	(ii)	 the rate notified to the Agent by that Bank as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on the date falling 2 Business Days after
the Quotation Day (or, if earlier, on the date falling 2 Business Days prior to the date on which 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 Bank of
funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and 

  

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

 

	(b)	 In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	 before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Bank or Banks
(whose participations in a Loan exceed 35% of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR or, if applicable, EURIBOR. 

 

	13.3	 Alternative basis of interest or funding 

  

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

  

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

time; and

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

  

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

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

 

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

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

to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established
for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the New Bank). 
 The Parent expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of article 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation made pursuant to this Agreement, the
guarantee given by it guarantees all obligations of the Borrowers (including without limitation, all obligations with respect to all rights and/or obligations so assigned, transferred or novated) and shall be preserved for the benefit of any New
Bank. 
  

	26.2	 Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	(a)	 The consent of the Parent is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Bank, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Bank or an
Affiliate of a Bank or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  
 62 

	(b)	 The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parent will be deemed to have given its
consent five Business Days after the Existing Bank has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Parent within that time. The consent of the Parent to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or
transfer may result in an increase in Mandatory Cost. 

  

	(c)	 The consent of the Issuing Bank is required for any assignment or transfer of any Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The
consent of the Issuing Bank must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Issuing Bank will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Bank has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Issuing Bank
within that time. 

  

	(d)	 An assignment will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(i)	 receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Bank (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Bank will assume the
same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Bank; and 

  

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

  

	(e)	 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with. 

 

	(f)	 If: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	 as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the
New Bank or Bank acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 15 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 16.1 (Increased costs), 

 then the New Bank or Bank acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Bank or Bank acting through its previous
Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 
  

	26.3	 Assignment or transfer fee 

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

	 	(ii)	 the financial condition of any Obligor; 

  
 63 

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

  

	 	(iv)	 the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

	 	(i)	 accept a re-transfer from a New Bank of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 26; or

  

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

  

	26.5	 Procedure for transfer 

  

	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c)

completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Bank. 

 

	(c)	 On the Transfer Date: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	 each of the Obligors and the New Bank shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the
Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Bank have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Bank; 

  
 64 

	 	(iii)	 the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank, the New Bank and other Banks shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between
themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Bank been an Original Bank with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the
Existing Bank shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(iv)	 the New Bank shall become a Party as a Bank.

	 	(a)	 any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank, governmental authority, agency or department
including HM Treasury; and 

  

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

 except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall: 
  

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

  

	 	(ii)	 require any payments to be made by an Obligor or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the
relevant Bank under the Finance Documents. 

  

	26.8	 Disclosure of information 

 Any Bank may disclose to any of its Affiliates and Related Funds and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, professional advisers, auditors, partners, Representatives and any other person:

  

	 	(a)	 to (or through) whom that Bank assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement for the purpose of that actual or potential assignment or transfer; 

  

	 	(b)	 with (or through) whom that Bank enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under

	 	(a)	 the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group; 

  
 72

into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; 

  

	 	(c)	 whether that Bank has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection
with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and

  

	 	(d)	 the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with
any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.

  

	28.16	 Reference Banks 

 If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Bank, the Bank of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Bank, the Agent shall (with the consent of the Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) appoint another Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

	28.17	 Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent 

If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party,
deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the 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.

	30.	 SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 

  

	30.1	 Payments to Finance Parties 

 If a Finance Party (a Recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 31 (Payment Mechanics) 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 Agent;

  
 73 

	 	(b)	 the 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 Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 31 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

  

	 	(c)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the Sharing Payment) equal
to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 31.6 (Partial payments). 

 

	30.2	 Redistribution of payments 

 The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) in accordance with Clause

shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 

  

	30.4	 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 Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 30.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon
request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for 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); and 

  

	 	(b)	 that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be
liable to the reimbursing Bank for the amount so reimbursed. 

  

	30.5	 Exceptions 

  

	(a)	 This Clause 30 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 Bank any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a

 74 

	 	(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

	31.1	 Payments to the Agent 

  

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

in the place of payment. 

  

	(b)	 Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal
financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank as the Agent specifies. 

  

	31.2	 Distributions by the Agent 

 Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 31.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 31.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as
soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Bank, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the 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). 

 

	31.3	 Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 32 (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. 
  

	31.4	 Clawback 

  

	(a)	 Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party
(or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum. 

 

	(b)	 If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the 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 Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by
the Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 

  

	31.5	 Impaired Agent 

  

	(a)	 If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Bank which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the
Agent in accordance with Clause 31.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a)
of the definition of Acceptable Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has 

  
 75 

	 	 
occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Bank 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. 

  

	(b)	 All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that trust account
pro rata to their respective entitlements.

Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account. 

  

	(d)	 Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 28.12 (Replacement of the Agent), each Party which has made a
payment to a trust account in accordance with this Clause 31.5 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 Agent for
distribution in accordance with Clause 31.2 (Distributions by the Agent). 

  

	31.6	 Partial payments 

  

	(a)	 If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents,
the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order: 

  

	 	(i)	 first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent, the Arrangers and the Issuing Bank 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;

  

	 	(iii)	 thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement and any amount due but unpaid under
Clauses 7.3 (Claims under a Guarantee) and 7.4 (Indemnities); and 

  

	 	(iv)	 fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents. 

 

	(b)	 The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Banks, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above. 

 

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

 

	31.7	 No set-off by Obligors

legal set-off) or counterclaim. 
  

	31.8	 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

Sum at the rate payable on the original due date. 

  

	31.9	 Currency of account 

  

	(a)	 Subject to paragraphs (b) to (e) below, the Base Currency is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance
Document. 

  

	(b)	 A repayment of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Utilisation or
Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date. 

  

	(c)	 Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that
interest accrued. 

  

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

  

	(e)	 Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency. 

 

	31.10	 Change of currency 

  

	(a)	 Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as
the lawful currency of that country, then: 

  

	 	(i)	 any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be
translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Parent); 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 Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Parent). 

 

	(b)	 If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the
Parent) 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.

operation or administration of the Facility as the Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances;

 77 

	 	(c)	 the Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) 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 Agent and the Parent 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 37 (Amendments and Waivers); 

 

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

	33.5	 Communication when Agent is Impaired Agent 

If the Agent is an Impaired Agent the Parties may, instead of communicating with each other through the Agent, communicate
with each other directly and (while the Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Finance Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by the Agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and
notices given to or by the relevant Parties directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement Agent has been appointed. 
  

	33.6	 Electronic communication 

  

	(a)	 Any communication to be made between the Agent and a Bank under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made by electronic mail or other

	34.	 CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

matters to which they relate. 
  

	34.2	 Certificates and Determinations 

 Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document shall set out the basis of calculation in reasonable detail and is, in the absence of manifest error,
conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates. 
  

	34.3	 Day count convention 

 Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days or, in any case
where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market differs, in accordance with that market practice. 
  

	35.	 PARTIAL INVALIDITY 

 If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability
of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired. 

 

	36.	 REMEDIES AND WAIVERS 

 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 provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

  
 81 

	37.	 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

  

	37.1	 Required consents 

  

	(a)	 Subject to Clause 37.2 (Exceptions) any term of the Finance Documents may be amended or waived only with the consent of the Majority Banks

consent of the respective Agent, the Arrangers or Issuing Bank. 

  

	37.3	 Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders 

  

	(a)	 For so long as a Defaulting Lender has any Available Commitment, in ascertaining the Majority Banks or whether any given percentage (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments or Total Revolving Commitments has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents, that Defaulting Lender’s Commitments
will be reduced by the amount of its Available Commitments.

 82 

	 	(ii)	 any Bank in relation to which it is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) or

 unless it has received notice to the contrary from the Bank concerned (together with any
supporting evidence reasonably requested by the Agent) or the Agent is otherwise aware that the Bank has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. 
  

	37.4	 Replacement of a Defaulting Lender

Issuing Bank, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Bank (including the assumption of the transferring Bank’s participations or unfunded participations

 SCHEDULE 4 
 MANDATORY COST FORMULAE 
  

	1.	 The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of
England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

 

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(a)	 in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

			
	 AB + C(B – D) + E x 0.01
	 	 per cent. per annum

	 100 – (A + C)
	 

  

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

 

			
	 E x 0.01
	 	 per cent. per annum.

	 300
	 

 Where: 

 

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

  

	 	B	 is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest
specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 11.4 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. 

  

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

  

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

 

	 	E	 is designed to compensate Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent
rates of charge supplied by the 

  
 95 

	 	 
Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

 

	5.	 For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

	 	(a)	 the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  
 96 

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

  

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

  

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

	1.2	 In this agreement, terms defined in the Combination Agreement shall have the same meaning in this agreement unless otherwise defined above or the
context otherwise provides. 

  

	1.3	 In this agreement: 

  

	 	(A)	 headings are inserted for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this agreement; 

 

	 	(B)	 references to clauses are to be construed as references to the clauses of this agreement unless otherwise stated; 

 

	 	(C)	 words importing the plural shall include the singular and vice versa and words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and vice
versa; 

  

	 	(D)	 references to any statutes, statutory provisions, code or rule include any regulation, statute, statutory provision, code or rule which amends,
extends, consolidates or replaces the same, or which has been amended, extended, consolidated or replaced by the same, and shall include any orders, regulations, instruments, other subordinate legislation, codes or rules made under the relevant
provision from time to time; 

  

	 	(E)	 references to a person shall be construed so as to include any individual, firm, company or other body corporate, trust, government, state or agency
of a state, local or municipal authority or government body or any joint venture, association or partnership (whether or not having a separate legal personality); 

 

	 	(F)	 a reference to a day (including within the phrase Business Day) shall mean a period of 24 hours running from midnight to midnight;

  

	 	(G)	 a reference to any English legal term for any action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, legal document, legal status, court, official or any
legal concept of thing shall in respect of any jurisdiction other than England be treated as a reference to any analogous term in that jurisdiction; and 

 

	 	(H)	 the rule known as the ejusdem generis rule shall not apply and general words shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of that fact
they are accompanied by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things. 

  

	2.	 Standstill 

  

	2.1	 For the duration of the Standstill Period, Summer shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, without the prior consent of Spring
and Autumn (in the period prior to Completion) or Autumn (in the period after Completion), as applicable, acquire any 

  
 3 

	 	 
Equity Interests in Spring or Autumn which would increase directly or indirectly the aggregate number of Autumn Shares beneficially held by Summer and its Affiliates to more than 24.9% of the
Outstanding Autumn Shares after Completion. For the purposes of this clause 2 only (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other provision of this agreement), the acquisition by or holdings of Summer and/or its Affiliates of any convertible bonds
under (i) the Spring Convertible Bonds; (ii) the Acergy S.A. USD500,000,000 2.50 per cent. Convertible Note Issue 2013; and (iii) any bonds issued by Spring or Autumn convertible into shares in Spring or Autumn (as applicable)
after the date hereof, in each case shall not be counted towards the restriction on acquiring or holding Equity Interests in Spring or Autumn until the conversion thereof. 

 

	2.2	 If, during the Standstill Period, any Affiliate of Summer acquires any Equity Interests in Spring or Autumn which increases directly or indirectly
the aggregate number of Autumn Shares beneficially held by Summer and its Affiliates to more than 24.9% of the Outstanding Autumn Shares, then Summer shall, on request by Autumn, promptly sell such number of Equity Interests so as to reduce such
aggregate number of Autumn Shares beneficially held by Summer and its Affiliates to not more than 24.9% of the Outstanding Autumn Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Summer nor any Affiliate shall be required to sell any Equity Interests
pursuant to this clause 2.2 if its Percentage Shareholding in Autumn has increased as a result of any reduction in the number of Outstanding Autumn Shares at the relevant time. 

 

	2.3	 The restrictions in clauses 2.1 and 2.2 above shall cease to apply immediately following the announcement of a bona fide offer by a third party for
the acquisition of control of either Spring or Autumn. 

  

	2.4	 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Clause 7 of the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement shall cease to apply from the date of this
agreement. 

  

	3.	 Lock-up 

  

	3.1	 For the duration of the Lock-up Period, Summer shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not transfer, dispose of, or agree to transfer
or dispose of any Autumn Shares beneficially held by it which would result in the aggregate number of Autumn Shares beneficially held by Summer and its Affiliates falling below 80% of the number of Autumn Shares beneficially held by Summer and its
Affiliates immediately after Completion (such number of shares being the Restricted Shares). 

  

	3.2	 If at any time or times in the period of 6 months commencing on the expiry of the Lock-up Period, Summer or its Affiliates wishes to transfer or
dispose of any Restricted Shares, such transfers or disposals shall be carried out in consultation with Autumn and Summer shall use all reasonable endeavours to dispose of or transfer such Autumn Shares in a manner that does not disrupt the market
for the issued capital of Autumn. All transaction expenses relating to such transfers or disposals of Autumn Shares by Summer or its Affiliates pursuant to this clause 3.2 shall be borne by Summer, but for the avoidance of doubt any expenses in
relation to any US registration will be borne by Autumn. 

  
 4 

	3.3	 Nothing in clause 3.1 or 3.2 shall prevent Summer or its Affiliates from: 

 

	 	(A)	 accepting or giving an undertaking to accept an offer for Autumn Shares made to all or substantially all the shareholders of Autumn;

  

	 	(B)	 lending Autumn Shares under the Existing Framework Agreement; 

 

	 	(C)	 granting security over Autumn Shares in relation to the provision of finance (whether debt, equity or other type of finance);

  

	 	(D)	 transferring the legal and/or beneficial interest in any Autumn Shares between Summer and its Affiliates, provided that if the transferee ceases to
be an Affiliate of Summer, then Summer must procure that such Autumn Shares are promptly transferred back to Summer or to an Affiliate of Summer and provided that Summer shall procure that any such Affiliate to whom Autumn Shares are transferred in
accordance with this sub-clause 3.3 (D) complies with the restrictions of this clause 3; 

  

	 	(E)	 disposing of Autumn Shares pursuant to a court order, arbitral award or judgment or as otherwise required by law or regulation;

  

	 	(F)	 effecting any transfer or disposal pursuant to a compromise or arrangement (including without limitation, mergers, divisions, share repurchases or
redemptions or other similar reorganisations) between Autumn and/or its shareholders, or any class of them, in accordance with Luxembourg law; or 

  

	 	(G)	 transferring any of its Autumn Shares to any holder of any Summer Limited Recourse Exchangeable Bonds to the extent Summer is required to or has
elected to deliver Autumn Shares to any such holder pursuant to the terms of the Summer Limited Recourse Exchangeable Bonds. 

  

	4.	 Representation on Autumn Board 

  

	4.1	 It is agreed that, with effect from Completion, and subject at all times to the majority of the directors of the Autumn Board being comprised of
(i) Independent Directors for the duration of the Standstill Period and (ii) “independent directors” (as determined in accordance with the Autumn Articles) thereafter: 

 

	 	(A)	 for as long as Summer (together with its Affiliates) has a Threshold Interest, Summer may, by notice in writing to Autumn, from time to time
nominate two persons for appointment to the Autumn Board (the Summer Nominees) (who shall always be deemed not to be Independent Directors). For the purposes of this clause 4.1(A) and this agreement, Kristian Siem is the first Summer Nominee,
it being understood that at the date of this agreement Summer has not exercised its right to nominate a second Summer Nominee but reserves the right to do so at any time. If, when Summer first exercises its right to nominate a second Summer Nominee,
one of the Designated Spring Directors who was not independent when appointed as an Autumn director at Completion remains 

  
 5 

	 	 
a director of Autumn, Summer will, if it so elects, support the removal of such Designated Spring Director to provide a vacancy for the second Summer Nominee and in such circumstances the second
Summer Nominee shall not be appointed to the Autumn Board until such Designated Spring Director has resigned (or otherwise been removed) from the Autumn Board. Following his resignation, the Autumn Board may re-appoint such Designated Spring
Director as a new director of Autumn provided always that the penultimate paragraph of this clause 4.1 is followed with the references to “Summer Nominee” being deemed references to such Designated Spring Director; and

  

	 	(B)	 for so long as Summer (together with its Affiliates) has an interest below the Threshold Interest but at least the Minimum Interest, Summer may, by
notice in writing to Autumn, from time to time nominate one person (a Summer Nominee) for appointment to the Autumn Board. 

 If the appointment of a Summer Nominee to the Autumn Board in accordance with this clause 4 would result in a majority of the Autumn Board ceasing to be comprised of Independent Directors in the
Standstill Period or “independent directors” (as determined in accordance with the Autumn Articles) thereafter, before such Summer Nominee is elected to the Autumn Board, another Independent Director or “independent director” (as
applicable) (in each case who shall be selected by the Autumn Board) must at the same time be elected to the Autumn Board and Summer undertakes to vote in favour of any resolution at a general meeting of Autumn to elect such person as an Independent
Director or independent director (as applicable) of Autumn. 
 If a shareholder of Autumn, not being an Affiliate
of Summer, gains representation on the Autumn Board, such representative shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for the purposes of this agreement. 
  

	4.2	 Autumn shall take all necessary or reasonably required actions within its control in order to ensure that any Summer Nominee nominated pursuant to
clause 4.1 is promptly and duly appointed to the Autumn Board (whether by board resolution or otherwise). If a resolution of the Autumn shareholders is required for the appointment of any Summer Nominee to the Autumn Board, Autumn shall take all
necessary or reasonably required actions within its control to ensure that such Summer Nominee is appointed at a general meeting of Autumn promptly following the nomination pursuant to clause 4.1. In the event that the nominated Summer Nominee is
not appointed to the Autumn Board at the general meeting, Summer is entitled to nominate another person in accordance with clause 4.1, and this clause 4.2 shall apply to such further nomination. 

 

	4.3	 If a Summer Nominee has not been appointed to the Autumn Board within 3 months after the nomination pursuant to clause 4.1, provided the failure to
appoint such Summer Nominee does not arise from a Designated Spring Director not leaving the Autumn Board, the restrictions under clauses 2, 3 and 5.2 shall cease to apply. 

 

	4.4	 If any Summer Nominee appointed to the Autumn Board is required under the Autumn Articles or by law to submit himself for re-appointment as a
director of Autumn at any general meeting of Autumn, the Autumn Board shall include a resolution for the re-

  
 6 

	 	 
appointment of such Summer Nominee as a director of Autumn in the notice of such general meeting sent to the shareholders of Autumn and Autumn shall take all necessary or reasonably required
actions within its control to ensure the approval of such re-appointment. In the event that any such Summer Nominee is not re-appointed as a director of Autumn, Summer may nominate another person for appointment to the Autumn Board in accordance
with clause 4.1. For the avoidance of doubt, if such other person is not appointed to the Autumn Board within 3 months of the general meeting of Autumn at which the Summer Nominee was proposed to be re-appointed, the restrictions under clauses 2, 3
and 5.2 shall cease to apply. 

  

	4.5	 Summer shall be entitled at any time to cause any Summer Nominee appointed to the Autumn Board to vacate his office as a director of Autumn by
procuring his resignation and nominating another person as a Summer Nominee in accordance with clause 4.1. 

  

	4.6	 If at any time Summer’s holdings (when aggregated with those of its Affiliates) in Autumn Shares falls below the Threshold Interest and at such
time there are two Summer Nominees on the Autumn Board, Summer shall procure that one Summer Nominee on the Autumn Board resigns from his position on the Autumn Board. For the avoidance of doubt, Summer shall not be required to procure the
resignation of a Summer Nominee from the Autumn Board at any time when there is only one Summer Nominee on the Autumn Board, notwithstanding any change in Summer’s shareholding in Autumn. 

 

	4.7	 Summer shall procure that a resignation from any Summer Nominee from his position on the Autumn Board in accordance with clause 4.5 and 4.6 is on
such terms that such Summer Nominee does not seek compensation for loss of office and waives all claims that he may have against Autumn in connection therewith. If any Summer Nominee refuses to resign in accordance with clause 4.5 and 4.6, the
parties shall take all necessary or reasonably required actions within their control to ensure that such Summer Nominee is removed from the Autumn Board as soon as practicable. 

 

	4.8	 Where a Summer Nominee appointed to the Autumn Board receives information in a capacity other than in his position on the Autumn Board, which
imposes on him a duty of confidentiality, he shall not be obliged to disclose that information to Autumn. This clause 4.8 is without prejudice to any obligation on a Summer Nominee appointed to the Autumn Board to disclose any conflict of interest
under applicable laws and regulations, including the governance code applicable to Autumn from time to time. 

  

	4.9	 The rights granted pursuant to this clause 4 are personal to Summer only and are not rights attached to any Autumn Shares held by Summer. None of
the rights granted under this clause 4 may be assigned or transferred to any other person other than any Affiliates of Summer. 

  

	4.10	 Summer acknowledges and agrees that any decisions made by the Autumn Board (including the Summer Nominees appointed to the Autumn Board) shall be in
accordance with the fiduciary duties of the directors. 

  
 7 

	4.11	 The parties acknowledge that no director that has been appointed to the Autumn Board shall use any information obtained through his position on the
Autumn Board for any commercial purpose other than: 

  

	 	(A)	 for Autumn’s business; and 

  

	 	(B)	 in the case of the Summer Nominees appointed to the Autumn Board, in connection with Summer’s and its Affiliate’s shareholding in Autumn
(but always subject to any applicable laws and regulations). 

  

	5.	 Election of Independent Directors 

  

	5.1	 Following Completion and for the remainder of the Standstill Period, whenever the Autumn Board proposes a candidate for election as a new director
of Autumn at a general meeting of Autumn and such candidate is proposed by the Autumn Board as an independent director, the Autumn Board shall either: 

  

	 	(A)	 make such proposal on the basis that such candidate satisfies the definition of Independent Director; or 

 

	 	(B)	 if the Autumn Board determines that such candidate should be proposed as an independent director notwithstanding that he or she does not satisfy the
definition of Independent Director, then the Autumn Board shall provide the shareholders of Autumn, in the notice for the relevant general meeting, with the reasons as to why the Autumn Board proposes such candidate despite such non-compliance.

  

	5.2	 Following Completion, for the remainder of the Standstill Period Summer undertakes to either abstain from voting or to vote against (in its
discretion) any resolution at a general meeting of Autumn to elect a person that has been proposed as a new director of Autumn if the election of such person would mean that a majority of the Autumn Board would cease to be comprised of Independent
Directors, except that Summer shall at all times be free to vote in favour or against or abstain from voting (in its discretion) in respect of any resolution at a general meeting of Autumn to elect or re-elect a person as a director of Autumn where:

  

	 	(A)	 that person has been nominated by Summer in accordance with clause 4; or 

 

	 	(B)	 the Autumn Board has proposed such person as a director of Autumn or has recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the election or re-election
of such person as a director of Autumn. 

  

	5.3	 Any candidate appointed to the Autumn Board shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for the purposes of this agreement if that person was
proposed by the Autumn Board in accordance with clause 5.1(B). Each member of the Autumn Board appointed at the Effective Time in accordance with the Combination Agreement shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for the purposes of this
agreement if that person is 

  
 8 

	 	 
referred to as an “Independent Director” in clause 4 of the Combination Agreement, unless such person is nominated as a Summer Nominee. 

 

	5.4	 Following Completion and for the remainder of the Standstill Period, the Autumn Board shall insert the provisions included at Schedule 2 to this
agreement in the then current terms of reference for the Autumn nominations committee as adopted by the Autumn Board from time to time. 

  

	6.	 Summer undertaking 

  

	6.1	 Summer irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes in favour of Spring and Autumn that it will exercise all voting rights attaching to its
shareholding in Spring at the relevant time by voting (either in person or by proxy): 

  

	 	(A)	 in favour of the resolutions (whether or not amended and whether put on a show of hands or poll) in relation to the proposed combination of Spring
and Autumn and the Scheme to be proposed at the Spring General Meeting and the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof; and 

  

	 	(B)	 against any shareholder resolution relating to any proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to the proposed combination of Spring and Autumn
and the Scheme or the transactions contemplated thereby. 

  

	6.2	 Nothing in clause 6.1 shall prevent Summer voting in favour of any resolution or other motion to adjourn the Spring General Meeting and the Court
Meeting to a date not later than the date on which a quorate general meeting of Autumn to seek the Autumn Shareholder Approval is validly convened and held and Autumn shareholders vote on resolutions relating to the Autumn Shareholder Approval.

  

	6.3	 The undertakings in clause 6.1 above shall cease to apply immediately following the announcement of an offer by a third party for the acquisition of
control of either Spring or Autumn which represents an offer on better terms than the Scheme. 

  

	7.	 Non-solicitation 

 Summer undertakes that, from the date hereof until the Effective Time, neither it nor any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors or employees shall solicit or initiate any Acquisition
Proposal relating to Spring. 
  

	8.	 Warranties 

  

	8.1	 Summer warrants to Spring and Autumn that: 

  

	 	(A)	 Schedule 1 sets out all Equity Interests held by Summer and its Affiliates in Spring and Autumn at the date of this agreement and Summer confirms
that (except in respect of the Equity Interests marked with a ** in Schedule 1 lent out under the Existing Framework Agreement) it is the registered holder of (or is 

  
 9 

	 	 
otherwise able to control the exercise of the voting rights attaching to) the Spring Shares against its and its Affiliates names therein; and 

 

	 	(B)	 at the date of this agreement neither it nor any of its Affiliates owns any Equity Interest or has any other legal or beneficial interest in any
other security conferring voting rights in either Spring or Autumn other than as set out in (A) above. 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, for the purposes of clauses 2, 4 and 6, shares in Spring (marked with a * in Schedule 1) (or shares derived therefrom) which have been lent to
Lehman Brothers International (Europe) to be on-lent to third parties shall be deemed not to be shareholdings or Equity Interests held by Summer or its Affiliates to the extent Summer or its Affiliates (as applicable) are unable at the relevant time
to control the voting rights attaching to such Equity Interests. 
  

	8.2	 Each party hereto warrants to the other parties hereto that: 

 

	 	(A)	 it is a legal entity duly organised or formed, validly existing and in good standing (insofar as such term applies as a legal concept in the
jurisdiction of incorporation of such party) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation or formation, and has all requisite power and capacity, and is duly and validly authorised, to execute and deliver this agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder, and no other actions or proceedings are necessary to authorise the execution and delivery by it of this agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder. This agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligations, and is enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and 

  

	 	(B)	 the execution and delivery of this agreement by it does not, and the performance of this agreement by it will not result in or constitute a
violation of any obligation, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to it or by which it is bound or affected. 

 

	9.	 Consent 

 Summer consents to any public disclosure made by Spring or Autumn incorporating references to this agreement and to its and/or its Affiliates’ ownership of Equity Interests in Spring and Autumn as
described in this agreement, in each case where such references are required by any Applicable Laws; provided that Summer shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure prior to the making of such disclosure. Summer
understands that, if the Scheme is proposed, this agreement may be made available for inspection prior to the Effective Time and that particulars of it will be contained in the Scheme Document and the Prospectus. Summer undertakes to
provide Spring and Autumn with any further information in relation to its and any of its Affiliates’ interests in Spring or Autumn as Spring or Autumn may reasonably require in order to comply with: 

  
 10 

	 	(A)	 the requirements of any relevant securities exchange or applicable regulatory or governmental body to which Spring or Autumn is subject, wherever
situated, and whether or not the requirement for such information has the force of law; and 

  

	 	(B)	 any other legal or regulatory requirements for inclusion of such information in the Scheme Document (or any other document required in connection
with the Scheme) and the Prospectus. 

  

	10.	 Termination 

  

	10.1	 This agreement (except for clause 11 and 19 which shall continue to apply after the termination of this agreement without limitation in time) shall
continue in force unless and until any of the following events occur, in which case this agreement shall automatically terminate: 

  

	 	(A)	 the termination of the Combination Agreement for any reason prior to Completion; 

 

	 	(B)	 an acquisition by a person or a group of persons acting in concert at any time prior to Completion of shares in Autumn and/or Spring that (assuming
Completion occurred at that time) would result in such person or group of persons holding an aggregate shareholding in Autumn that would be greater than that held legally and/or beneficially by Summer and its Affiliates, whether directly or
indirectly, at that time (again assuming that Completion occurred at that time); or 

  

	 	(C)	 an acquisition by a person or a group of persons acting in concert at any time after Completion of shares in Autumn that would result in such person
or group of persons holding an aggregate shareholding in Autumn that is greater than the shareholding in Autumn held legally and/or beneficially by Summer and its Affiliates, whether directly or indirectly, at that time.

  

	10.2	 Any termination of this agreement shall be without prejudice to any provisions hereof which are expressed to continue in force thereafter and shall
be without prejudice to any rights or obligations which may have accrued prior to the date on which this agreement terminated in respect of the relevant party.

	 	(D)	 to the extent the information has come into the public domain through no fault of that party; or 

 

	 	(E)	 to the extent the other parties have given prior written consent to the disclosure. 

Any information to be disclosed pursuant to sub-clauses 11.3(A) or 11.3(B) shall be disclosed only after notice to the
other parties, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  

	11.4	 The restrictions contained in this clause 11 shall continue to apply after the termination of this agreement without limit in time.

  

	12.	 Assignment

dispose of any right or interest in it. 
  

	13.	 Invalidity 

 If at any time any provision of this agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that shall not affect or impair:

it or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
