      On Demand Guarantee

      

      

      dated this 8th day of March 2022, by

      

      

      Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp., of Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, MH96960, Republic of the Marshall Islands

      (hereinafter “Guarantor”),

      

      

      in favor of

      

      

      Uniper Global Commodities SE, Holzstrasse 6, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany

      (hereinafter “UGC”).

      

      

      WHEREAS, Partner Marine Co., of Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, MH96960, Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Counterparty”),

        being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, has entered into a novation agreement dated March 8, 2022 in relation to the charterparty dated September 14, 2018 entered into between UGC and Partner Shipping Co. Limited, of Malta for the time
        charter of the M/V Partnership (the “Vessel”) on the terms and conditions agreed therein (the “Contract”) (such charterparty,
        as the same may from time to time be modified, amended and supplemented, shall be referred hereinafter to as the “Contract”); and

      

      

      WHEREAS, pursuant to the said novation agreement, the Counterparty has agreed to substitute the owners, Partner Shipping Co. Limited, under the Contract from March 9, 2022 replacing the owners and to be bound as
        owners under the Contract.

      

      

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

      

      

      	1.	
              Guarantee: The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the timely performance of the obligation of the
                  Counterparty to provide the use and hire of the Vessel to UGC in relation to the hire payable in advance by UGC in accordance with Clause 4 of the Contact (the “Obligation”). UGC acknowledges and
                  agrees that the Guarantor shall only be obligated to pay money and shall have no obligation to perform otherwise under the Contract, including, without limitation, to sell, deliver, supply or transport any commodity.

            

       

      The Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee shall be limited to US$1,000,000 (United States Dollars one million) (the “Cap”).

      

      

      	2.	
              Payment Demand and Terms of Payment: If the Counterparty fails or refuses for whatever reason to fulfil the Obligation, UGC
                  shall notify the Guarantor in writing of the manner in which the Counterparty has failed to perform and demand that payment be made by the Guarantor under this Guarantee (a “Payment Demand”).

            

       

      Upon receipt of a Payment Demand, the Guarantor shall make payment in an amount not exceeding the lesser of (i) the Cap, and (ii) the amount of any hire paid in advance in accordance with Clause
        4 of the Contact, in no event later than ten (10) German business days after the receipt of such Payment Demand, to the bank account specified in the Payment Demand.  Payment shall be made irrespective of any potential right of set-off,
        counterclaims or other defenses, together with all interest, attorneys’ fees and other reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by UGC in connection with the Counterparty’s failure to promptly, fully and faithfully perform its
        Obligation.

       

      
        1

        
          

      

      	3.	
              Waivers: This is an unconditional and absolute on demand Guarantee (Garantie) and not merely a surety (Bürgschaft).
                  Therefore Guarantor hereby waives (a) any right to assert any counterclaim or other defenses before payment and to exercise any right to set-off; (b) any right to require that any action or proceeding be brought against the Counterparty
                  or any other person; and (c) to require that UGC seek enforcement of any other credit support or performance assurance securing the fulfillment of the Obligation, prior to any action against the Guarantor under the terms hereof.

            

      

      

      No delay of UGC in the exercise of or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights, a waiver of any other rights or a release of the Guarantor from any
        obligations hereunder.

       

      	4.	
              The Guarantor hereby consents to the renewal, compromise, extension, acceleration or other changes in the time of performance of or other changes in the terms of the Obligation of the Counterparty under the Contract, or any part thereof
                or any changes or any other modifications to the terms of the Contract.

            

      

      

      	5.	
              Assignment: The Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of UGC, assign to any entity its rights or
                  obligations under this Guarantee. UGC may at any time with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Guarantor assign the whole or any part of its rights under this Guarantee to any person to whom the whole or any
                  part of the rights of UGC under the Contract has been assigned.

            

      

      

      	6.	
              Subrogation: The Guarantor agrees that it shall not exercise any right which it may at any time have (a) to be indemnified
                  by the Counterparty or (b) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any right of UGC or of any other security taken in respect of the Counterparty’s Obligation.

            

      

      

      	7.	
              Termination: This Guarantee shall terminate on the expiration of the hire period under the Contract. UGC and the Guarantor
                  acknowledge and agree that termination and cancellation of this Guarantee shall be considered earlier upon receipt by UGC of the Counterparty’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022 and based on UGC’s internal
                  credit assessment the creditworthiness of the Counterparty will be considered adequate to cancel this Guarantee.

            

      

      

      	8.	
              Representations and warranties: The Guarantor represents and warrants that:

            

       

      (a) it is an entity duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms
        and provisions of this Guarantee;

      (b) no authorisation, approval, consent or order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Guarantor is required on the part of the
        Guarantor for execution and delivery of this Guarantee; and

      (c) this Guarantee, when executed and delivered, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Guarantor.

      

      

      
        2

        
          

      

      	9.	
              Miscellaneous: This Guarantee shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of
                  and be enforceable by UGC, its successors and assigns.

            

      

      

      This Guarantee and any other non-contractual obligations connected with it shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England.

       

      No term or provision of this Guarantee, included this provision, shall be amended, modified, altered, waived or supplemented except in writing duly signed by the Guarantor and UGC.

    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders make available to the Borrowers in two Tranches a dollar term loan facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Total
      Commitments in two Tranches.

     

    	2.2	
            Finance Parties’ rights and obligations

          

     

    	(a)	
            The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several.  Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does 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 to a Finance Party from a Transaction
              Obligor is a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below.  The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party
              under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of the Loan or any other amount owed by a Transaction Obligor which relates to a Finance Party’s participation in the Facility or its role under a Finance Document
              (including any such amount payable to the Facility Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Transaction Obligor.

          

     

    	(c)	
            A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

          

     

    	2.3	
            Borrowers’ Agent

          

     

    	(a)	
            Each Borrower by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints the Guarantor to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            the Guarantor on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including Utilisation Requests), to make
              such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Borrower notwithstanding that they may affect any Borrower, without further reference to or the consent of that
              Borrower; and

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    and in each case the Borrowers shall be bound as though the Borrowers themselves 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.

     

    
      27

      
        

    

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

    	(e)	
            If any part of the Loan is prepaid in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss), the prepayment amount shall be applied towards full
              prepayment of the Tranche which financed the Ship that is sold or becomes a Total Loss and any remaining amount following such prepayment will reduce the Repayment Instalments of the other Tranche pro rata.

            Termination Date

          	(i)	
            any sum payable to any Lender by a Transaction Obligor is required to be increased under paragraph (c) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or under that clause as incorporated
              by reference or in full in any other Finance Document; or

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrowers under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased costs),

          

     

    the Borrowers may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the requirement for that increase or indemnification continues, give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the
      Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

     

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

            Calculation of interest

          

     

    The rate of interest on the Loan or any part of the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:

     

    	(a)	
            the Margin; and

          

     

    	(b)	
            LIBOR.

          

     

    	8.2	
            Payment of interest

          

     

    	(a)	
            The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the Loan or any part of the Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (each an “Interest Payment Date”).

          

     

    	(b)	
            If an Interest Period is longer than three Months, the Borrowers shall also pay interest then accrued on the Loan or the relevant part of the Loan on the dates falling at three Monthly intervals after the first
              day of the Interest Period.

          

     

    	8.3	
            Default interest

          

     

    	(a)	
            If a Transaction Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the Unpaid Sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before
              and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two (2) per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted part of the Loan in
              the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent.  Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 (Default interest) shall be immediately
              payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

          

     

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

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Loan or that part of the Loan; and

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            the rate of interest applying to that Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be two (2) per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if that Unpaid Sum had not become due.

          

     

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

    	(b)	
            Each Selection Notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Facility Agent by the Borrowers not later than the Specified Time.

          

     

    	(c)	
            If the Borrowers fail to select an Interest Period in a Utilisation Request or fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Facility Agent in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the relevant Interest

    	(f)	
            In respect of a Repayment Instalment, the Borrowers may request in the relevant Selection Notice that an Interest Period for a part of the Loan equal to such Repayment Instalment shall end on the Repayment Date
              relating to it and, subject to paragraph (d) above, select a longer Interest Period for the remaining part of the Loan.

          

     

    	(g)	
            The first Interest Period for a Tranche shall start on the Utilisation Date in respect of that Tranche and each subsequent Interest Period shall start on the last day of the preceding Interest Period.

          

     

    	(h)	
            Except for the purposes of paragraph (f) above and Clause 9.2 (Changes to Interest Periods), each Tranche shall have one Interest Period only at any time.

    	(a)	
            In respect of a Repayment Instalment, prior to determining the interest rate for the Loan, the Facility Agent may establish an Interest Period for a part of the Loan equal to such Repayment Instalment to end on
              the Repayment Date relating to it and the remaining part of the Loan shall have the Interest Period selected in the relevant Selection Notice, subject to paragraph (d) of Clause 9.1 (Selection of Interest
                Periods).

          

     

    
      37

    	(b)	
            If this Clause 10.4 (Cost of funds) applies and the Facility Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Facility Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a

            Subject to Clause 44.4 (Replacement of Screen Rate), any substitute or alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the

              Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

          

     

    	(d)	
            If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount
              required by law.

          

     

    	(e)	
            Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party
              entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

            Tax indemnity

          

     

    	(a)	
            The Obligors shall (within three (3) 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:

            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 12.2 (Tax gross-up); or

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

          

     

    	(c)	
            A Protected Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the
              Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors.

          

     

    	(d)	
            A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity), notify the Facility Agent.

            Tax Credit

          

     

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

     

    	(a)	
            a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was received; and

          

     

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

          

     

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

            Stamp taxes

          

     

    The Obligors shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability which that Secured Party incurs in
      relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

     

    	12.6	
            VAT

          

     

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

          

     

    	(b)	
            If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”)

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(d)	
            Any reference in this Clause 12.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes,
              include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules provided for in Article 11 of
              Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that
              Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).

          

     

    
      43

      
        

    

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

          

     

    	12.7	
            FATCA Information

          

     

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            a FATCA Exempt Party; or

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with
              FATCA; and

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(c)	
            Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything and sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable
              opinion constitute a breach of:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            any law or regulation;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            any fiduciary duty; or

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            any duty of confidentiality.

          

     

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

          

     

    	12.8	
            FATCA Deduction

          

     

    	(a)	
            Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of
              which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

          

     

    
      44

      
        

    

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

          	(ii)	
            acting as Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate under the Finance Documents or which otherwise relates to any of the Security Property or the performance of the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance

    SECTION 7

      

      GUARANTEE AND JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS

     

    	17	
            GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

          

     

    	17.1	
            Guarantee and indemnity

          

     

    The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(c)	
            agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party
              immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor other than the Guarantor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under
              any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and
                Indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

          

     

    	17.2	
            Continuing guarantee

          

     

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

     

    	17.3	
            Reinstatement

          

     

    If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party
      in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 17
      (Guarantee and Indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

     

    	17.4	
            Waiver of defences

          

     

    The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and in respect of any Transaction Security will not be
      affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 17.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity) or in respect of any Transaction Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including:

     

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

          

     

    
      51

      
        

    

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

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(g)	
            any insolvency or similar proceedings.

          

     

    	17.5	
            Immediate recourse

          

     

    The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or
      security or claim payment from any person (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Finance Document or to enforce any Transaction Security) before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity).  This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

     

    	17.6	
            Appropriations

          

     

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

     

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

          

     

    	(b)	
            hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity).

          

     

    	17.7	
            Deferral of Guarantor’s rights

          

     

    All rights which the Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this guarantee, a mortgage or any other transaction) against a Borrower, any other Obligor or their
      respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties under the Finance Documents and until the end of the Security Period and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which
      it may have (whether in respect of any Finance Document to which it is a Party or any other transaction) by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising,
      under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity):

     

    
      52

      
        

    

    	(a)	
            to be indemnified by an Obligor;

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(d)	
            to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under
              Clause 17.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable
      all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility
      Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 34 (Payment Mechanics).

     

    	17.8	
            Additional security

          

     

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

     

    	17.9	
            Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other Security

          

     

    Clauses 17.2 (Continuing guarantee), 17.3 (Reinstatement), 17.4 (Waiver of defences), 17.5 (Immediate recourse), 17.6 (Appropriations), 17.7 (Deferral of Guarantor’s rights)
      and 17.8 (Additional security) shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any Security which the Guarantor creates (whether at the time at which it signs this Agreement or at any later time) to secure
      the Secured Liabilities or any part of them.

     

    	18	
            JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS

          

     

    	18.1	
            Joint and several liability

          

     

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

     

    	18.2	
            Waiver of defences

          

     

    The liabilities and obligations of a Borrower shall not be impaired by:

     

    
      53

      
        

    

    	(a)

    	(b)	
            any Lender or the Security Agent entering into any rescheduling, refinancing or other arrangement of any kind with any other Borrower;

          

     

    	(c)	
            any Lender or the Security Agent releasing any other Borrower or any Security created by a Finance Document; or

          

     

    	(d)	
            any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with any other Borrower or other person;

          

     

    	(e)	
            the release of any other Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

          

     

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

          

     

    	(g)	
            any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any other Borrower or any other person;

          

     

    	(h)	
            any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental, and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without

    SECTION 9

      

      CHANGES TO PARTIES

     

    	28	
            CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

          

     

    	28.1	
            Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

          

     

    Subject to this Clause 28 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

     

    	(a)	
            assign any of its rights; or

          

     

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

          

     

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

     

    	28.2	
            Conditions of assignment or transfer

          

     

    	(a)	
            A 10-day prior notice to the Borrowers is required (but no consent from the Borrowers or any Transaction Obligor) for an assignment or transfer by a Lender pursuant to Clause 28.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders).

          

     

    	(b)	
            An assignment will only be effective on:

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(d)	
            A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 28.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

          

     

    	(e)	
            If:

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Transaction Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility
              Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance Document or Clause 13 (Increased

                Costs),

          

     

    
      94

      
        

    

    then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or
      Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.  This paragraph (e) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary
      syndication of the Facility.

     

    	(f)	
            Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or
              waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is
              bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

          

     

    	28.3	
            Assignment or transfer fee

          

     

    The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of two thousand five hundred Dollars
      ($2,500).

     

    	28.4	
            Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

          

     

    	(a)	
            Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            the financial condition of any Transaction Obligor;

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

     

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    
      95

      
        

    

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

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 28 (Changes to the Lenders); or

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	28.5	
            Procedure for transfer

          

     

    	(a)	
            Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Facility
              Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a
              duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with this Agreement and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

          

     

    	(b)	
            The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer”
              or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

          

     

    	(c)	
            Subject to Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    
      96

      
        

    

    	28.6	
            Procedure for assignment

          

     

    	(a)	
            Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the
              Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by
              it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

          

     

    	(b)	
            The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer”
              or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

          

     

    	(c)	
            Subject to Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	(d)	
            Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 28.6 (Procedure for assignment) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not,
              without the consent of the relevant Transaction Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Transaction Obligor from the obligations owed to
              that Transaction Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 28.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

          

     

    	28.7	
            Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower

          

     

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

     

    	28.8	
            Security over Lenders’ rights

          

     

    In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 28 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may without consulting
      with or obtaining consent from any Transaction Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that
      Lender including, without limitation:

     

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

          

     

    
      97

      
        

    

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

          

     

    except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            require any payments to be made by a Transaction Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the
              Finance Documents.

          

     

    	28.9	
            Pro rata interest settlement

          

     

    	(a)	
            If the Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect
              of any transfer pursuant to Clause 28.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 28.6 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of
              which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been
              payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

          

     

    	(b)	
            In this Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

          

     

    	(c)	
            An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) but which does not have a Commitment shall
              be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance
              Documents.

    	29.1	
            Assignment or transfer by Transaction Obligors

          

     

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

     

    	29.2	
            Release of security

          

     

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            the Majority Lenders agree to the disposal;

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            the disposal is being made at the request of the Security Agent in circumstances where any security created by the Security Documents has become enforceable; or

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

     

    	(b)	
            If the Security Agent is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Clause 29.2 (Release of security) (at the request and expense of the Borrower) each Finance Party
              must enter into any document and do all such other things which are reasonably required to achieve that release.  Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent to enter into any such document.  Any release will not affect
              the obligations of any other Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents.

    	(b)	
            Each of the Arranger and the Lenders authorises the Facility Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to
              the Facility Agent under, or in connection with, the Finance Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

            Instructions

          

     

    	(a)	
            The Facility Agent shall:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Facility Agent in accordance with any instructions given
              to it by:

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            all Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is an all Lender decision; and

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            in all other cases, the Majority Lenders; and

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above (or, if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or
              group of Finance Parties, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties).

          

     

    	(b)	
            The Facility Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any
              other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, from that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Facility
              Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

          

     

    	(c)	
            Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance
              Document, any instructions given to the Facility Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

          

     

    	(d)	
            Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            where a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            where a Finance Document requires the Facility Agent to act in a specified manner or to take a specified action;

          	(iii)	
            in respect of any provision which protects the Facility Agent’s own position in its personal capacity as opposed to its role of Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Parties.

          

     

    	(e)	
            If giving effect to instructions given by the Majority Lenders would in the Facility Agent’s opinion have an effect equivalent to an amendment or waiver referred to in Clause 44 (Amendments and Waivers), the Facility Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Party (other than the Facility Agent) whose consent would have been
              required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

          

     

    	(f)	
            In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under the Finance Documents where it has not received any instructions as to the exercise of that discretion the Facility Agent shall do so
              having regard to the interests of all the Finance Parties.

          

     

    	(g)	
            The Facility Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Finance Party or group of Finance Parties until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its
              discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability (together with any applicable VAT) which it may incur in complying with
              those instructions.

          

     

    	(h)	
            Without prejudice to the remainder of this Clause 30.2 (Instructions), in the absence of instructions, the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to take any action  (or
              refrain from taking action) even if it considers acting or not acting to be in the best interests of the Finance Parties.  The Facility Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Finance Parties.

          

     

    	(i)	
            The Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Finance Party (without first obtaining that Finance Party’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document.  This
              paragraph (i) shall not apply to any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection of rights under the Security Documents or enforcement of the Transaction Security or Security Documents.

    	(e)

              communication to be made or document to be delivered under or in connection with the Finance Documents, the electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by electronic mail or
              other electronic means to and by each Lender to whom any communication under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made by that means and the account details of each Lender for any payment to be distributed by the Facility Agent

            Nothing in any Finance Document constitutes the Facility Agent or the Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

          

     

    	(b)	
            Neither the Facility Agent nor the Arranger shall be bound to account to other Finance Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

          

     

    	30.6	
            Application of receipts

          

     

    Except as expressly stated to the contrary in any Finance Document, any moneys which the Facility Agent receives or recovers in its capacity as Facility Agent shall be applied
      by the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 34.5 (Application of receipts; partial payments).

     

    	30.7	
            Business with the Group

    	30.8	
            Rights and discretions

          

     

    	(a)	
            The Facility Agent may:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            assume that:

          

     

    
      102

      
        

    

    	

          	(A)	
            any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Finance Parties or any group of Finance Parties are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            rely on a certificate from any person:

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

          

     

    as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

     

    	(b)	
            The Facility Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the other Finance Parties) that:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 27.2 (Non-payment));

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            any notice or request made by the Borrowers (other than a Utilisation Request or a Selection Notice) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Transaction Obligors.

          

     

    	(c)	
            The Facility Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts.

          

     

    	(d)	
            Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above or paragraph (e) below, the Facility Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Facility
              Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if the Facility Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable.

          

     

    	(e)	
            The Facility Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by the Facility Agent or by any other
              Party) and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

          

     

    	(f)	
            The Facility Agent may act in relation to the Finance Documents and the Security Property through its officers, employees and agents and shall not:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            be liable for any error of judgment made by any such person; or

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission or default on the part of any such person,

          

     

    
      103

      
        

    

    unless such error or such loss was directly caused by the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

     

    	(g)	
            Unless a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise the Facility Agent may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as agent under the Finance Documents.

          

     

    	(h)	
            Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Facility Agent nor the Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might, in its reasonable opinion,
              constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

          

     

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

          

     

    	30.9	
            Responsibility for documentation

          

     

    Neither the Facility Agent nor the Arranger is responsible or liable for:

     

    	(a)	
            the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Arranger, a Transaction Obligor or any other person in, or in
              connection with, any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any
              Transaction Document; or

          

     

    	(b)	
            the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document or the Security Property or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
              anticipation of, under or in connection with, any Transaction Document or the Security Property; or

          

     

    	(c)	
            any determination as to whether any information provided or to be provided to any Finance Party or Secured Party is non-public information the use of which may be regulated or prohibited by applicable law or
              regulation relating to insider dealing or otherwise.

          

     

    	30.10	
            No duty to monitor

          

     

    The Facility Agent shall not be bound to enquire:

     

    	(a)	
            whether or not any Default has occurred;

          

     

    	(b)	
            as to the performance, default or any breach by any Transaction Obligor of its obligations under any Transaction Document; or

          

     

    	(c)	
            whether any other event specified in any Transaction Document has occurred.

          

     

    
      104

      
        

    

    	30.11	
            Exclusion of liability

          

     

    	(a)	
            Without limiting paragraph (b) below (and without prejudice to paragraph (e) of Clause 34.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.) or any other provision of any Finance
              Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Facility Agent), the Facility Agent will not be liable for:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of taking or not taking any action under or in connection with any Transaction Document or
              the Security Property, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            exercising, or not exercising, any right, power, authority or discretion given to it by, or in connection with, any Transaction Document, the Security Property or any other agreement, arrangement or document
              entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with, any Transaction Document or the Security Property; or

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            any shortfall which arises on the enforcement or realisation of the Security Property; or

          

     

    	

          	(iv)	
            without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) above, any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of:

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            any act, event or circumstance not reasonably within its control; or

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            the general risks of investment in, or the holding of assets in, any jurisdiction,

          

     

    including (in each case and without limitation) such damages, costs, losses, diminution in value or liability arising as a result of nationalisation, expropriation or other
      governmental actions; any regulation, currency restriction, devaluation or fluctuation; market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions or the value of assets (including any Disruption Event); breakdown, failure or malfunction
      of any third party transport, telecommunications, computer services or systems; natural disasters or acts of God; war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or strikes or industrial action.

     

    	(b)	
            No Party other than the Facility Agent may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Facility Agent or in respect of any
              act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Transaction Document or any Security Property and any officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent may rely on this paragraph (b) subject to Clause 1.5 (Third party rights) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

          

     

    	(c)	
            The Facility Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Facility Agent if the Facility
              Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Facility Agent for that purpose.

          

     

    	(d)	
            Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Facility Agent or the Arranger to carry out:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person; or

          

     

    
      105

      
        

    

    	

          	(ii)	
            any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Finance Party,

          

     

    on behalf of any Finance Party and each Finance Party confirms to the Facility Agent and the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry
      out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Facility Agent or the Arranger.

     

    	(e)	
            Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Facility Agent’s liability, any liability of the Facility Agent arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document
              or the Security Property shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Facility Agent or, if later, the date on which
              the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Facility Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss.  In no event shall the Facility Agent be liable for
              any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Facility Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

          

     

    	30.12	
            Lenders’ indemnity to the Facility Agent

          

     

    	(a)	
            Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify
              the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any
              cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 34.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.) notwithstanding the Facility Agent’s negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but
              not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Facility Agent has been reimbursed by a Transaction Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).

          

     

    	(b)	
            Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment that Lender makes to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

          

     

    	(c)	
            Paragraph (b) above shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the Lender claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Facility Agent to an Obligor.

          

     

    	30.13	
            Resignation of the Facility Agent

          

     

    	(a)	
            The Facility Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower.

          

     

    	(b)	
            Alternatively, the Facility Agent may resign by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrowers, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Facility Agent.

          

     

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

          

     

    
      106

      
        

    

    	(d)	
            If the Facility Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Facility Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Facility
              Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Facility Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Facility Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Facility Agent) agree
              with the proposed successor Facility Agent amendments to this Clause 30 (The Facility Agent, the Arranger and the Reference Banks) and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or
              obligations of the Facility Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are
              consistent with the successor Facility Agent’s normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

          

     

    	(e)	
            The retiring Facility Agent shall make available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of
              performing its functions as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents.  The Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees)
              properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.

          

     

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

          

     

    	(g)	
            Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (e) above) but
              shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.4 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent) and this Clause 30 (The Facility Agent, the Arranger and the Reference Banks)
              and any other provisions of a Finance Document which are expressed to limit or exclude its liability (or to indemnify it) in acting as Facility Agent.  Any fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and
              shall be payable on) that date.  Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	30.14	
            Confidentiality

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    
      107

      
        

    

    	(c)	
            Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Facility Agent nor the Arranger is obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any
              other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

          

     

    	30.15	
            Relationship with the other Finance Parties

          

     

    	(a)	
            Subject to Clause 28.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Facility Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of
              the Facility Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

     

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

          

     

    	(c)	
            Any Lender may by notice to the Facility Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance
              Documents.  Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 37.5 (Electronic communication)) electronic
              mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a
              notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 37.2 (Addresses) and
              sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of Clause 37.5 (Electronic communication) and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices,
              communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

          

     

    	30.16	
            Credit appraisal by the Finance Parties

          

     

    Without affecting the responsibility of any Transaction Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Transaction Document, each Finance Party
      confirms to the Facility Agent and the Arranger 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 Transaction Document
      including but not limited to:

     

    	(a)	
            the financial condition, status and nature of each Transaction Obligor;

          

     

    
      108

      
        

    

    	(b)	
            the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document, the Security Property and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
              anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document or the Security Property;

          

     

    	(c)

          	(i)	
            unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent in accordance with any instructions given
              to it by:

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            all Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf) if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is an all Lender decision; and

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            in all other cases, the Majority Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf); and

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above (or if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or
              group of Finance Parties, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties).

          

     

    	(b)	
            The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or the Facility Agent on their behalf) (or, if the relevant Finance Document
              stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, from that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right,
              power, authority or discretion and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

          

     

    	(c)	
            Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance
              Document, any instructions given to the Security Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

          

     

    	(d)	
            Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

          

     

    	

          	(i)

          	(iii)	
            in respect of any provision which protects the Security Agent’s own position in its personal capacity as opposed to its role of Security Agent for the relevant Secured Parties.

          

     

    	

          	(iv)	
            in respect of the exercise of the Security Agent’s discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under any of:

    	(e)	
            If giving effect to instructions given by the Majority Lenders would in the Security Agent’s opinion have an effect equivalent to an amendment or waiver referred to in Clause 44 (Amendments and Waivers), the Security Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Party (other than the Security Agent) whose consent would have been
              required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

          

     

    	(f)	
            In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under the Finance Documents where either:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            it has not received any instructions as to the exercise of that discretion; or

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            the exercise of that discretion is subject to sub-paragraph (iv) of paragraph (d) above,

    	(g)	
            The Security Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Finance Party or group of Finance Parties until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its
              discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability (together with any applicable VAT) which it may incur in complying with
              those instructions.

          

     

    	(h)	
            Without prejudice to the remainder of this Clause 31.4 (Instructions), in the absence of instructions, the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) take such
              action in the exercise of its powers and duties under the Finance Documents as it considers in its discretion to be appropriate.

          

     

    	(i)

              paragraph (i) shall not apply to any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection of rights under the Security Documents or enforcement of the Transaction Security or Security Documents.

      113

    	(d)	
            If the Security Agent receives notice from a Party referring to any Finance Document, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the other Finance
              Parties.

          

     

    	(e)

            No fiduciary duties

          	(i)	
            rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            assume that:

          	(B)	
            unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked;

          

     

    	

          	(C)	
            if it receives any instructions to act in relation to the Transaction Security, that all applicable conditions under the Finance Documents for so acting have been satisfied; and

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            rely on a certificate from any person:

          

     

    	

          	(A)	
            as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

          

     

    	

          	(B)	
            to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

          

     

    
      114

      
        

    

    as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

     

    	(b)	
            The Security Agent shall be entitled to carry out all dealings with the other Finance Parties through the Facility Agent and may give to the Facility Agent any notice or other communication required to be given

    	(d)	
            The Security Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts.

          

     

    	(e)	
            Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above or paragraph (f) below, the Security Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Security
              Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Facility Agent or the Lenders) if the Security Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable.

          

     

    	(f)	
            The Security Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by the Security Agent or by any other

    	(b)	
            If information is received by a division or department of the Security Agent other than the division or department responsible for complying with the obligations assumed by it under the Finance Documents, that

    	(c)	
            Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Security Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if

    	(c)	
            No Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate shall be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for any damages, costs or losses incurred by reason of any misconduct, omission or default on the part of any

          	(i)	
            if it considers that appointment to be in the interests of the Secured Parties; or

            Releases

          

     

    Upon a disposal of any of the Security Assets pursuant to the enforcement of the Transaction Security by a Receiver, a Delegate or the Security Agent, the Security Agent is

            all of the Secured Liabilities and all other obligations secured by the Security Documents have been fully and finally discharged; and

          

     

    	(b)	
            no Secured Party is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Transaction Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents,

          

     

    then

    Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Security Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. 
      Where there are any inconsistencies between (i) the Trustee Acts 1925 and 2000 and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement and any other Finance Document, the provisions of this Agreement and any other Finance Document shall, to the extent permitted by
      law and regulation, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement and any other Finance Document shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of the Trustee Act 2000.

            set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet, and 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; and

          

     

    	(b)	
            pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Security Property, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Security Agent under any of the Finance
              Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement).

          

     

    	31.30	
            Prospective liabilities

          

     

    Following enforcement of any of the Transaction Security, the Security Agent may, in its discretion, or at the request of the Facility Agent, hold any Recoveries in an
      interest bearing suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of the Security Agent with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Security Agent shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) for
      later payment to the Facility Agent for application in accordance with Clause 31.28 (Application of receipts) in respect of:

     

    	(a)	
            any sum to the Security Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate; and

          

     

    	(b)	
            any part of the Secured Liabilities,

          

     

    that the Security Agent or, in the case of paragraph (b) only, the Facility Agent, reasonably considers, in each case, might become due or owing at any time in the future.

    Prior to the payment of the proceeds of the Recoveries to the Facility Agent for application in accordance with Clause 31.28 (Application of
        receipts) 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 Security Agent with such financial institution (including itself) and for so
      long as the Security Agent shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending the payment from time to time of those moneys in the Security Agent’s discretion in accordance with the provisions of Clause 31.28 (Application of receipts).

     

    	31.32

              rate of exchange.

          

     

    	(b)	
            The obligations of any Transaction Obligor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied to the extent of the amount of the due currency purchased after deducting the costs of conversion.

          

     

    	31.33	
            Good discharge

          

     

    	(a)	
            Any payment to be made in respect of the Secured Liabilities by the Security Agent may be made to the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and any payment made in that way shall be a good discharge,
              to the extent of that payment, by the Security Agent.

          

     

    	(b)	
            The Security Agent is under no obligation to make the payments to the Facility Agent under paragraph (a) above in the same currency as that in which the obligations and liabilities owing to the relevant Finance
              Party are denominated.

          

     

    	31.34	
            Amounts received by Obligors

      hold the amount received or recovered on trust for the Security Agent and promptly pay that amount to the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    	31.35	
            Application and consideration

          

     

    In consideration for the covenants given to the Security Agent by each Obligor in relation to Clause 31.2 (Parallel Debt (Covenant to pay the
        Security Agent)), the Security Agent agrees with each Obligor to apply all moneys from time to time paid by such Obligor to the Security Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Clause 31 (The

        Security Agent).

     

    	31.36	
            Full freedom to enter into transactions

      of law or equity to the contrary, the Security Agent shall be absolutely entitled:

     

    
      125

      
        

    

    	(a)	
            to enter into and arrange banking, derivative, investment and/or other transactions of every kind with or affecting any Transaction Obligor or any person who is party to, or referred to in, a Finance Document
              (including, but not limited to, any interest or currency swap or other transaction, whether related to this Agreement or not, and acting as syndicate agent and/or security agent for, and/or participating in, other facilities to such
              Transaction Obligor or any person who is party to, or referred to in, a Finance Document);

          

     

    	(b)	
            to deal in and enter into and arrange transactions relating to:

          

     

    	

          	(i)	
            any securities issued or to be issued by any Transaction Obligor or any other person; or

          

     

    	

          	(ii)	
            any options or other derivatives in connection with such securities; and

          

     

    	(c)	
            to provide advice or other services to the Borrowers or any person who is a party to, or referred to in, a Finance Document,

          

     

    and, in particular, the Security Agent shall be absolutely entitled, in proposing, evaluating, negotiating, entering into and arranging all such transactions and in connection
      with all other matters covered by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, to use (subject only to insider dealing legislation) any information or opportunity, howsoever acquired by it, to pursue its own interests exclusively, to refrain from disclosing
      such dealings, transactions or other matters or any information acquired in connection with them and to retain for its sole benefit all profits and benefits derived from the dealings transactions or other matters.

     

    	32	
            CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

          

     

    No provision of this Agreement will:

     

    	(a)	
            interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

          

     

    	(b)	
            oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

          

     

    	(c)	
            oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

          

     

    	33	
            SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

          

     

    	33.1	
            Payments to Finance Parties

          

     

    If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from a Transaction Obligor other than in accordance
      with Clause 34 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due to it under the Finance Documents then:

     

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

          

     

    	(b)	
            the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility
              Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 34 (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

          

     

    
      126

      
        

    

    	(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 34.5 (Application of
                receipts; partial payments).

          

     

    	33.2	
            Redistribution of payments

          

     

    The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Transaction Obligor and distribute it among the Finance Parties (other than the
      Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 34.5 (Application of receipts; partial payments) towards the obligations of that
      Transaction Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

     

    	33.3	
            Recovering Finance Party’s rights

          

     

    On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 33.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance
      Party from a Transaction Obligor, as between the relevant Transaction Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Transaction Obligor.

     

    	33.4	
            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

          

     

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

          

     

    	33.5	
            Exceptions

          

     

    	(a)	
            This Clause 33 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this
              Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Transaction Obligor.

          

     

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

          

     

    	

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

          

     

    	

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

    	34.1	
            Payments to the Facility Agent

          

     

    	(a)	
            On each date on which a Transaction Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Transaction Obligor or Lender shall make an amount equal to such payment available to the
              Facility Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Facility Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant
              currency in the place of payment.

          

     

    	(b)	
            Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency and with such bank as the Facility Agent, in each case, specifies.

          

     

    	34.2	
            Distributions by the Facility Agent

          

     

    Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 34.3 (Distributions to a
        Transaction Obligor) and Clause 34.4 (Clawback and pre-funding) be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with
      this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal
      financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London), as specified by that Party or, in the case of an Advance, to such account of such person as may
      be specified by the Borrowers in the relevant Utilisation Request.

     

    	34.3	
            Distributions to a Transaction Obligor

          

     

    The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Transaction Obligor or in accordance with Clause 35 (Set-Off)) apply any amount
      received by it for that Transaction Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any
      currency to be so applied.

     

    	34.4	
            Clawback and pre-funding

          

     

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

          

     

    	(b)	
            Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that
              amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the
              Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

          

     

    
      128

            The Facility Agent may disclose any Funding Rate or any Reference Bank Quotation, and each Obligor may disclose any Funding Rate, to:

              to be given pursuant to this sub-paragraph (i) is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that it may be price sensitive information except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to

              sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the opinion of the Facility Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may be, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

          

     

    	

          	(iii)	
            any person to whom information is required to be disclosed in connection with, and for the purposes of, any litigation, arbitration, administrative or other investigations, proceedings or disputes if the person
              to whom that Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation is to be given is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that it may be price sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the opinion of

              prejudice to its obligations to make notifications under Clause 8.4 (Notification of rates of interest) provided that

    	49.1	
            Jurisdiction

          

     

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

          

     

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

          

     

    	(c)	
            This Clause 49.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only.  As a result, no Secured Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a
              Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

          	(i)	
            irrevocably appoints Messrs E. J. C. Album Solicitors, presently at 47 Lyndale Avenue, London NW2 2QB, England (attention: Mr Edward Album, tel: +44 20 7794 6080, +44 20 7431 2942 and +44 7980 798659
              and email: ejca@mitgr.com) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and

          

     

    	

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

          

     

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

          

     

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