9. Interest

9.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Term is the percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the applicable:

(a) Margin; and

(b) LIBOR or EURIBOR (as applicable).

34

9.2 Payment of interest

Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last day of each Term and also, if the Term is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of that Term.

9.3 Margin

(a) In this Subclause:

Consolidated Total Net Borrowings and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA have the meanings given to them in Clause 19 (Financial covenants).

(b) The initial Margin for:

(i) Facility A is 2.75 per cent. per annum;

(ii) Facility B is 2.75 per cent. per annum; and

(iii) the Revolving Facility is 2.35 per cent. per annum.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Subclause, the Margin for each Term Facility and the Revolving Facility will, following the delivery of the first Compliance Certificate pursuant to Clause 18.3 (Compliance Certificate), be calculated by reference to the table below and the information set out in the relevant Compliance Certificate and financial statements for the relevant person:

Ratio of Consolidated Total Net Borrowings to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA	Margin for each Term Facility (per cent. per annum)	Margin for the Revolving Facility (per cent. per annum)
greater than or equal to 3.5	3.50	3.25
less than 3.5 but greater than or equal to 3.0	3.15	2.80
less than 3.0 but greater than or equal to 2.5	2.75	2.35
less than 2.5 but greater than or equal to 2.0	2.30	1.95
less than 2.0 but greater than or equal to 1.5	1.90	1.60
less than 1.5 but greater than or equal to 1.0	1.60	1.25
less than 1.0	1.30	1.00

(d) Any change in the Margin for the Term Facilities and the Revolving Facility will, subject to paragraph (e) below, apply on the third Business Day following receipt by the Facility Agent of the relevant Compliance Certificate and financial statements.

(e) For so long as:

(i) the Company is in default of its obligation under this Agreement to provide a Compliance Certificate or relevant financial statements; or

35

(ii) an Event of Default is outstanding,

the Margin will be the highest applicable rate, being 3.50 per cent. per annum for each Term Facility and 3.25 per cent. per annum for the Revolving Facility.

(f) If the Margin has been calculated on the basis of a Compliance Certificate but would have been higher if it had been based on the subsequent financial statements of the Company the Margin will instead be calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements of the Company. Any change will have a retrospective effect. If, in this event, any amount of interest has been paid by a Borrower on the basis of the Compliance Certificate, that Borrower must promptly pay to the Facility Agent any shortfall in the amount which would have been paid to the Lenders if the Margin had been calculated by reference to the subsequent financial statements.

9.4 Interest on overdue amounts

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents on its due date, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

(b) Interest on (i) an overdue amount in respect a particular Facility is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan under that Facility in the currency of the overdue amount and (ii) any other overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan under Facility B in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably):

(i) select successive Terms of any duration of up to three months; and

(ii) determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Term, then:

(i) the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and

(ii) the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan.

After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

(d) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded (to the extent permitted under any applicable law, including Article 1283 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 120 of the Italian Banking Law and any relevant implementing regulation, each as amended, supplemented or implemented from time to time) with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable.

9.5 Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent must promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

36

9.6 Criminal Code (Canada)

For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Facility Agent will be prima facie evidence of such rate.

(c) Except as provided below, if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from the Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after

42

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

(d) Except as provided below, an Obligor is not required to make an increased payment under paragraph (c) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by the UK:

(i) if on the date on which the payment in respect of which the Tax Deduction is required falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was, or had not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not, or ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in respect of that Obligor; or

(ii) to a Lender which is a Qualifying Lender solely because it is a UK Non-Bank Lender if:

(A) an officer of HM Revenue and Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction under section 931 of the ITA 2007 (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a party to this Agreement) which relates to the relevant payment;

(B) the Lender has received from that Obligor a certified copy of that direction; and

(C) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction in the absence of that direction; or

(iii) if that Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction would not have been required if the Lender had complied with its obligations under paragraph (h) below.

(e) Sub-paragraph (d)(i) above will not apply if the Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender in respect of that Obligor by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or Treaty or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.

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

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

(h) (i) Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below, a Treaty Lender and each Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled must promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

(ii) (A) A Treaty Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Original Parties); and

43

(B) a New Lender or an Increase Lender that is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation which it executes,

and, having done so, that Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above.

(iii) Each Lender that includes the confirmation described in sub-paragraph (ii)(a) above in Schedule 1 (Original Parties) or the confirmation described in sub-paragraph (ii)(b) above in the relevant Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation thereby notifies each Borrower (including any Additional Borrower) that, to the extent that that Lender is a Lender under a Facility made available to that Borrower and the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme is to apply in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan to that Borrower, that Borrower must file a Borrower DTTP Filing.

(i) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-paragraph (h)(ii) above and:

(i) a Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or

(ii) a Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but:

(A) that Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs;

(B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing; or

(C) HMRC gave but subsequently withdrew authority for the Borrower to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction or such authority has otherwise terminated or expired or is due to otherwise terminate or expire with the next 3 months,

and in each case, the Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

(j) A Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that Borrower DTTP Filing to the Facility Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(k) If a Lender does not include the indication referred to in sub-paragraph (h)(ii), no Obligor may file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender with HM Revenue & Customs.

(l) If a Lender is expressed to be a UK Non-Bank Lender when it becomes a Party as a Lender, it provides a Tax Confirmation to the Company by entering into this Agreement.

(m) A UK Non-Bank Lender must promptly notify the Company and the Facility Agent of any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.

44

12.3 Tax indemnity

(a) Except as provided below, the Company must or must procure that an Obligor will indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability or cost which that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines will be or has been suffered (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document.

(b) Paragraph (a) above does not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which:

(i) 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

(ii) 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 by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose.

(c) Paragraph (a) above does not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(i) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 12.6 (Stamp taxes);

(ii) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not compensated solely because one of the exclusions in that Clause applied;

(iii) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(iv) is attributable to the Bank Levy.

(d) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Company of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

(e) A Finance Party must, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause notify the Facility Agent.

12.4 Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) 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 required; and

(b) it has obtained, used and retained that Tax Credit,

45

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

12.5 Lender Status Confirmation

(a) Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation which it executes on becoming a Party, which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

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

(iii) a Treaty Lender.

(b) If a New Lender or an Increase Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Subclause 12.5 (Lender Status Confirmation) then such New Lender or Increase Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Facility Agent which category applies (and the Facility Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause.

12.6 Stamp taxes

The Company must or must procure that an Obligor will pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document.

12.7 Value added taxes

(a) All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is or becomes 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 the Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the 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 paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant

46

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 costs or expenses, that Party must also at the same time reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of such costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Finance Party (reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

(d) Any reference in this Subclause to any Party will, 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 as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by a member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a 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 head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and if reasonably requested by the Finance Party, the Party must promptly give the Finance Party details of its VAT registration number and any other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Finance Party’s reporting requirements for the supply.

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.

(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 the Company, the Facility Agent and the other Finance Parties.

12.9 FATCA Information

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

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

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

47

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(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 or regulation relating to a similar exchange of information regime.

(b) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(i) 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 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 its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with 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 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.

(e) If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or where the Facility Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

(i) where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

(ii) where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date (or date on which the increase in Commitments described in the relevant Increase Confirmation takes effect);

(iii) the date a new US Tax Obligor accedes as a Borrower; or

(iv) where the Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Facility Agent,

supply to the Facility Agent:

(A) a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or

(B) any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the Facility Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.

48

The Facility Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e) to the Borrower and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers to the Borrower. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (f).

13. Increased Costs

13.1 Increased Costs

Except as provided below in this Clause, the Company must (or must procure that an Obligor will) pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of:

(b) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; or

(c) the implementation or application of or compliance with Basel III or CRD IV or any other law or regulation that implements or applies Basel III or CRD IV (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates),

13.2 Exceptions

The Company need not make any payment for an Increased Cost to the extent that the Increased Cost is:

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

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

(c) compensated for by Subclause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Subclause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in paragraph (b) of Subclause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) applied);

49

(d) attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully failing to comply with any law or regulation;

(e) attributable to the Bank Levy; or

(f) attributable to the implementation or application of or compliance with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework” published by the Basel Committee in June 2004 in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (but excluding any amendment arising out of Basel III) (Basel II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates).

13.3 Claims

(a) A Finance Party intending to make a claim for an Increased Cost must, as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, notify the Facility Agent of the circumstances giving rise to and the amount of the claim, following which the Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company.

(b) Each Finance Party must, together with a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Cost and containing reasonable details of the basis of its claim.

14. Mitigation

14.1 Mitigation

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

(i) any Tax Payment or Increased Cost being payable to that Finance Party;

(ii) that Finance Party being able to exercise any right of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement by reason of any illegality; or

(iii) that Finance Party incurring any cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank,

No term of any Finance Document 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 in respect of Tax or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

(a) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency; or

(b) in the case of euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London,

as it may notify to that Party for this purpose by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice.

51

(c) Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received it. However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been received by the Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

15.6 Business Days

(a) If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not) or whatever day the Facility Agent determines is market practice.

(b) During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable on the original due date.

15.7 Partial payments

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

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

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

52

(iv) must notify the Finance Parties of any changes agreed under this Subclause.

(b) Any agreement between the Facility Agent and the Company will be, (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred), binding on the Parties notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 27 (Amendments and waivers).

(c) The Facility Agent accepts the discretions given to it by this Subclause only on the basis that it will not be liable (either in contract or tort) for any damages, costs or losses of any kind (other than in respect of the fraud of the Facility Agent) which any Party may incur or sustain as a result of the Facility Agent taking or not taking any action under this Subclause.

(d) If the Facility Agent makes any payment to any person in respect of a liability incurred as a result of taking or not taking any action under this Subclause, each Lender must indemnify the Facility Agent for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment made or of any loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent under this Subclause (unless the Facility Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor under a Finance Document).

16. Guarantee and indemnity

16.1 Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all its obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b) undertakes with each Finance Party that, whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor in respect of that amount; and

(c) agrees with each Finance Party that if, for any reason, any amount claimed by a Finance Party under this Clause is not recoverable from that Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee then that Guarantor will be liable as a principal debtor and primary obligor to indemnify that Finance Party in respect of any loss it incurs as a result of a Borrower failing to pay any amount expressed to be payable by it under a Finance Document on the date when it ought to have been paid. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause had the amount claimed been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

16.2 Continuing guarantee

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

16.3 Reinstatement

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

(b) Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

16.4 Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause. This includes:

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

54

(b) any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;

(c) 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 person;

(d) 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;

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

(f) any amendment 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;

(g) any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

(h) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

16.5 Immediate recourse

(a) Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other right or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause.

(b) This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

16.6 Appropriations

(a)	(i)            refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) against those amounts; or
	(ii)           apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and

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

16.7 Non-competition

Unless:

(a) 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; or

55

(b) the Facility Agent otherwise directs,

no Guarantor will, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause:

(i) be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf);

88

reimbursed by an Obligor under a Finance Document), except to the extent that the loss or liability is caused by the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(b) If a Party owes an amount to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent may, after giving notice to that Party:

(i) deduct from any amount received by it for that Party any amount due to the Facility Agent from that Party under a Finance Document but unpaid; and

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

(i) has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and

(ii) has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document.

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

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

(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise.

28.9 Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office

If:

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

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

then unless that Tax Payment or Increased Cost is as a result of Clause 14 (Mitigation), the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred. This Subclause 28.9 shall not apply in relation to Subclause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-paragraph (h)(ii) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender, unless the relevant payment falls due before (or less than five Business Days after) the Company receives a copy of the Transfer Certificate entered into by that Treaty Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) of Subclause 28.6 (Procedure for transfer using a Transfer Certificate).

28.10 Additional Obligors

(a) If the Company:

(i) requests that one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries becomes an Additional Obligor; or

(ii) is required to make one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries an Additional Obligor,

it must give not less than five Business Days prior notice to the Facility Agent (and the Facility Agent must promptly notify the Lenders).

(b) If the accession of an Additional Obligor requires any Finance Party to carry out customer due diligence requirements in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company must promptly on request by any Finance Party supply to that Finance Party any documentation or other evidence which is reasonably requested by that Finance Party (whether for itself, on behalf of any Finance Party or any prospective new Lender) to enable a Finance Party or prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied with the results of all applicable customer due diligence requirements.

(c) If one of the wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company is to become an Additional Obligor, then the Company must (following consultation with the Facility Agent) deliver to the Facility Agent the relevant documents and evidence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents).

(d) The prior consent of all the Lenders is required if the Additional Obligor is an Additional Borrower and is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside the UK.

(e) If the Additional Obligor is an Additional Guarantor and is incorporated in a jurisdiction in which no other Guarantor is incorporated, the relevant Subsidiary will not become an Additional Obligor until the Finance Documents have been amended in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders, each acting reasonably) to reflect customary provisions having regard to the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Additional Guarantor.

(f) The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Obligor when the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and the Company that it has received all of the documents and evidence referred to in paragraph (c) above in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable.

(g) Upon becoming an Additional Borrower, that Subsidiary must make any relevant filings (and provide copies of those filings) as required by paragraph (h) (iii) of Subclause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) in accordance with those provisions.

(h) Delivery of an Accession Agreement, entered into by the relevant Subsidiary and the Company, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and the Company that the Repeating Representations are correct as at the date of delivery.

(a) The Company may request that an Obligor (other than the Company) ceases to be an Obligor by giving to the Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request.

(b) Upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event, the Company will be deemed to have given the Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request in respect of each Guarantor (other than

100

the Company). If a Resignation Request is not accepted by the Facility Agent under sub-paragraphs (i) and/or (iv) of paragraph (c) below, the Company will be deemed to have given the Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request in respect of each Guarantor (other than the Company) at the time sub-paragraphs (i) and (iv) of paragraph (c) below cease to apply.

(c) The Facility Agent must accept a Resignation Request and notify the Company and the Lenders of its acceptance if:

(i) in the case of a Guarantor and prior to the occurrence of the Trigger Event, the Company has provided evidence and computations in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that the covenant in Subclause 19.5 (Guarantor Cover) will be satisfied following the acceptance of the Resignation Request;

(ii) it is not aware that a Default is outstanding or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Request;

(d) No Party (other than the relevant Reference Bank) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of any Reference Bank in respect of any claim it may have against that Reference Bank or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document, or to any Reference Bank Quotation, and any officer, employee or agent of each Reference Bank may rely on this Clause, subject to paragraph (d) of Clause 1.2 (Construction) and the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

(e) Any Reference Bank may rely on this Clause 28.12 (Reference Banks), Clause 27.2 (Exceptions) or 31 (Confidentiality of Funding Rates and Reference Bank Quotations), subject to paragraph (d) of Clause 1.2 (Construction) and the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security Interest 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 Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

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

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

104

29.3 Term-out of Loans

(a) At any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the shares of that Lender in the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Final Maturity Date and will be treated as separate Loans (the Separate Loans) denominated in the currency in which the relevant shares are outstanding.

(i) the undrawn Commitments of a Defaulting Lender under Subclause 29.4 (Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender), or

request that the Total Commitments be increased in aggregate up to the amount of the undrawn Commitments or the Commitments, referred to above, which have been cancelled.

105

(b) Following a request under paragraph (a) above:

(i) the increased Commitment will be assumed by a Lender or other bank or financial institution or 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 (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) (an Increase Lender) selected by the Company and in respect of which the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) has carried out and been satisfied with the results of all customer due diligence requirements, and each of which confirms that it has assumed all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that increased Commitment as if it had been an Original Lender;

(ii) each of the Obligors and the Increase Lender will assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(iii) the Increase Lender will become a Party as a Lender and the Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties will assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(iv) the Commitments of the other Lenders will continue in full force and effect; and

(v) the increase will become effective on the date referred to in the notice delivered under paragraph (a) above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (c) below are satisfied.

(c) An increase in the Total Commitments will only be effective on:

(i) the execution by the Facility Agent of confirmation (the Increase Confirmation) from the Increase Lender substantially in the form set out in Schedule 9 (Form of Increase Confirmation) that the Increase Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender; and

(ii) in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase the performance by the Facility Agent of all necessary customer due diligence requirements in relation to that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent must promptly notify to the Company and the Increase Lender.

(d) Each Increase Lender, by entering into the Increase Confirmation, confirms that the Facility Agent has authority to enter into on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the relevant Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or before the date on which the increase becomes effective.

(e) Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment is assumed by an existing Lender, the Company must on the date that the increase becomes effective, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of £3,000 and the Company must promptly on demand pay the Facility Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause.

106

(f) The Company may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and the Increase Lender in a letter which for these purposes is designated a Finance Document.

(g) Subclause 28.8 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender) applies in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Subclause to:

(i) an Existing Lender were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase;

(ii) the New Lender were references to that Increase Lender; and

(iii) a re-transfer and re-assignment were references to respectively a transfer and assignment.

(h) The Facility Agent must, as soon as reasonably practicable, after it has executed an Increase Confirmation send a copy to the Company.

29.6 Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders

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

(b) For the purposes of this Clause, the Facility Agent may assume that the following Lenders are Defaulting Lenders:

(i) any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent that it has become a Defaulting Lender;

(ii) any Lender in relation to which it is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of Defaulting Lender above has occurred,

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

29.7 Excluded Commitments

If any Defaulting Lender fails to respond to a request for a consent, waiver, amendment of or in relation to any term of any Finance Document or any other vote of Lenders under the terms of this Agreement within 10 Business Days (unless the Company and the Facility Agent agree to a longer time period in relation to any request) of that request being made;

(a) its Commitment(s) shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total Commitments under the relevant Facility when ascertaining whether any relevant percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of Total Commitments has been obtained to approve that request; and

107

(b) its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve that request.

29.8 Impaired Agent

(a) If, at any time, the Facility Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with a bank or financial institution which has a rating for its long-term unsecured and non credit-enhanced debt obligations of A or higher by S&P or Fitch (or any successor to its ratings business) or A2 or higher by Moody’s or a comparable rating from an internationally recognised credit rating agency and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case the payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

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

(c) A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause will be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and will not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

(d) Promptly on the appointment of a successor Facility Agent under this Agreement, each Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause must give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Facility Agent for distribution in accordance with the Finance Documents.

29.9 Replacement of Impaired Agent

(a) If the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent, after consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice (or any shorter notice the Majority Lenders may agree) replace the Facility Agent by appointing a successor Facility Agent.

(b) The replacement of the Facility Agent and appointment of a successor Facility Agent under this Subclause will take effect on the date specified in the notice referred to in paragraph (a) above. As from this date, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Subclause and Subclause 22.13 (Resignation of the Facility Agent) (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

(c) Any successor Facility Agent 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.

(d) Other than as set out in this Subclause, the provisions of Subclause 22.13 (Resignation of the Facility Agent) apply to any replacement of the Facility Agent under this Subclause.

108

29.10 Other agency matters

(b) The Facility Agent must provide to the Company within 10 Business Days of a request by the Company (but no more frequently than once per calendar month) a list (which may be in electronic form) setting out the names of the Lenders as at the date of that request, their respective Commitments and the address (and the department or officer, if any, for whose attention any communication is to be made) of each Lender for any 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 to that Lender under the Finance Documents.

29.11 Communication when Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent

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

31.2 Disclosure of Funding Rates and Reference Bank Quotations

(a) The Facility Agent may disclose:

(i) any Funding Rate (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Reference Bank Quotation) to the relevant Borrower pursuant to Clause 9.5 (Notification of rates of interest); and

(ii) any Funding Rate or any Reference Bank Quotation to any person appointed by it to provide administration or settlement services in respect of one or more of the Finance Documents including, without limitation, in relation to the trading of participations in respect of the Finance Documents, to the extent necessary to enable such service provider to provide any of the services in respect of this sub-paragraph (ii) if the service provider to whom that information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of the LMA Master Confidentiality Undertaking for Use with Administration/Settlement Service Providers or such other form of confidentiality undertaking agreed between the Facility Agent and the relevant Lender or Reference Bank as the case may be.

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

(i) to any of its Affiliates and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, professional advisers, auditors, partners and Representatives if any person to whom that Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation is to be given pursuant to this sub-paragraph (i) is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to professional

113

obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the Funding Rate or Reference Bank Quotation or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation it;

(ii) to any person:

(A) to whom information is required or requested to be disclosed by any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority or similar body, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation 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 the Facility Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may be, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

(B) 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 the Facility Agent or the relevant Obligor, as the case may be, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances; or

(C) with the consent of the relevant Lender or Reference Bank as the case may be.

(c) The Facility Agent’s obligations under this Clause 31 (Confidentiality of Funding Rates and Reference Bank Quotations) are without prejudice to its obligation to make notifications under Clause 9.5 (Notification of rates of interest) provided that (other than pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above, the Facility Agent shall not include the details of any individual Reference Bank Quotation as part of such notification.

(d) The Facility Agent and each Obligor acknowledge that each Funding Rate and in the case of the Facility Agent each Reference Bank Quotation is or may be price sensitive information and that its use may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market abuse and the Facility Agent and each Obligor undertakes not to use any Funding Rate or, in the case of the Facility Agent, Reference Bank Quotation for any unlawful purpose.

(e) The Facility Agent and each Obligor agree (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform the relevant Lender or Reference Bank, as the case may be,:

(ii) upon becoming aware that any information has been disclosed in breach of this Clause.

32. Set-off

While an Event of Default is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by

114

that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to an Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. That Finance Party shall promptly notify that obligor of any such set-off or conversion.

33. Pro Rata Sharing

33.1 Redistribution

If a Finance Party (the recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with this Agreement (a recovery) and applies that amount to a payment due under a Finance Document, then:

(a) the recovering Finance Party must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Agreement without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to a recovery or distribution; and

(c) the recovering Finance Party must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution).

33.2 Effect of redistribution

(a) The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Finance Parties, other than the recovering Finance Party, accordingly.

(b) When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

(c) If and to the extent that the recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

(d) If:

(i) a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

(ii) the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

each Finance Party, on the request of the Facility Agent, must reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

115

33.3 Exceptions

Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that:

(a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or

(b) it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

(i) the recovering Finance Party notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and

(ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them.

34. Severability

If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any jurisdiction, that will not affect:

(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or

(b) the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents.

35. Counterparts
