70-40731609



where:
DM =     actual number of days to and including the relevant maturity date
CA =    the Certified Amount (as defined in the Supplier Agreement) of the Receivable
IR =     means in respect of GBP the applicable interest rate being (i) Term SONIA plus (ii) the GBP Credit Adjustment Spread plus (iii) the Margin, provided that if the aggregate of (i) and (ii) is less than zero, the applicable reference rate shall be deemed to be zero.
1.3If neither Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (or any other person which takes over the administration of that rate) provides, nor any authorised distributors publish, Term SONIA as of the applicable Calculation Date, the reference rate for the relevant period will be the term adjusted SONIA rate (plus the GBP Credit Adjustment Spread provided that if the aggregate of (i) the term adjusted SONIA rate and (ii) the GBP Credit Adjustment Spread is less than zero, the applicable reference rate shall be deemed to be such a rate that the aggregate of (i) and (ii) is zero) for such period as the Purchaser, acting reasonably, may consider most appropriate having regard to the tenor of Term SONIA used in this Agreement (the "Fallback Rate (SONIA)") provided on the applicable Calculation Date by Bloomberg Index Services Limited (or a successor provider as approved and/or appointed by ISDA from time to time), as the provider of the Fallback Rate (SONIA), on the Fallback Rate (SONIA) Screen (or by other means) or provided to, and published by, any authorised distributors.
1.4If neither Term SONIA nor the Fallback Rate (SONIA) are published or provided on a Quotation Day as set out respectively in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 above, then the reference rate for such period as the Purchaser, acting reasonably, may consider most appropriate having regard to the tenor of Term SONIA used in this Agreement will be (i) the UK Central Bank Rate after making the UK Central Bank Rate Adjustment plus (ii) the GBP Credit Adjustment Spread and provided that if the aggregate of (i) and (ii) is less than zero, the applicable reference rate shall be deemed to be zero.
1.5If (i) the administrator or any relevant supervisor of the administrator or entity with resolution or insolvency authority over the administrator has made a public statement that the administrator has ceased or will cease to provide EURIBOR, Term SONIA or any other applicable alternate or replacement base rate permanently or indefinitely (and there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such rate, (ii) EURIBOR, Term SONIA or any other applicable alternate or replacement base rate has been or will be permanently or indefinitely discontinued or has ceased or will cease to exist without such public statement, (iii) the supervisor of the administrator has made a public statement that EURIBOR, Term SONIA or any other applicable alternate or replacement base rate is not, or will no longer be, representative of the underlying market (and no action to remedy this will be taken), (iv) it has or will become unlawful for either a party to the Agreement or for the financier of the Purchaser to use EURIBOR, Term SONIA or any other applicable alternate or replacement base rate or (v) the administrator or its supervisor has made a public statement that EURIBOR, Term SONIA or any other applicable alternate or replacement base rate may no longer be used, then such rate shall, at the time reasonably determined by the Purchaser, be replaced by a replacement base rate recommended by the relevant authority supervising the administrator or, if there is no such recommendation, a replacement base rate selected by the Purchaser which the Purchaser in its discretion determines is most comparable to the base rate that has been replaced (and for the avoidance of doubt, any replacement rate may include a credit adjustment spread).
10217330290-v9
- 25 -
70-40731609



The Purchaser may, in its discretion, add or deduct an adjustment spread (which may be positive, negative or zero) to such replacement base rate in order to reduce or eliminate, to the fullest extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another as a result of the application of the replacement base rate. Such adjustment spread may be set as a fixed percentage or be established for each relevant interest period using a formula or methodology for calculating a spread, or a combination thereof.
In connection with the changes set out above, the Purchaser is entitled to make such amendments to the Agreement that the Purchaser reasonably determines are required in order for the Agreement to fulfil its intended purpose. The Purchaser shall notify the Seller of the intended changes.

(c)Legal validity: The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement constitute, or when executed by it will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser and, subject to any laws or other procedures affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and principles of equity are enforceable against it.
(d)Non-violation: The execution, signing and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of any of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement do not and will not contravene or breach or constitute a default under or conflict or be inconsistent with or cause to be exceeded any limitation on it or the powers of its officers imposed by or contained in:
(i)any law, statute, decree, rule or regulation to which it or any of its assets or revenues is subject or of any order, judgment, injunction, decree, resolution, determination, or award of any court or any judicial, administrative, or governmental authority or organisation which applies to it or any of its assets or revenues; or
(ii)any agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bond, or any other document, instrument or obligation to which it is a party or by which any of its assets or revenues is bound or affected; or
(iii)any document which contains or establishes or regulates its constitution.
(e)Consents: The Purchaser has duly obtained, made or taken each authorisation, approval, consent, licence, exemption, registration, recording, filing or notarisation which it is required to obtain (or make) in connection with the entry into, or performance of the transactions contemplated in, this Agreement. The Purchaser is not aware of any circumstances which indicate that any such authorisation, approval, consent, licence, exemption, registration, recording, filing or notarisation which has been obtained (or made) is likely to be terminated, revoked or not renewed. No authorisation, approval, consent, licence, exemption, registration, recording, filing or notarisation and no payment of any duty or tax and no other action whatsoever which has not been duly and unconditionally obtained, made or taken is necessary or desirable to ensure the validity, legality, enforceability or priority of the liabilities and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
(f)No default: No event has occurred which constitutes, or which with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time and/or a relevant determination would constitute, a contravention of, or default under, any such law, statute, decree, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, resolution, determination or award or any agreement, document or instrument by which the Purchaser or any of its assets is bound, being a contravention or default which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or condition (financial or other) of the Purchaser or materially and adversely affect its ability to observe or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)Litigation: No litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding or claim of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to observe or perform its obligations under this Agreement, is presently in progress or pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser or any of its assets.
(h)Insolvency procedures: No corporate action has been taken or is pending, no other steps have been taken and no legal proceedings have been commenced (in each case by the Purchaser or, so far as the Purchaser is aware, by any other person) or (so far as the Purchaser is aware) are threatened or are pending for (i) the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, administration or reorganisation of the Purchaser (other than for the purposes of and followed by a solvent reconstruction previously notified to the Seller); or (ii) the Purchaser to enter into any composition or arrangement with its creditors generally; or (iii) the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer in respect of the Purchaser or substantially all of its property, undertaking or assets.
