Section 8 CHANGES TO PARTIES 22. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 22.1 Transfers by the Lenders 22.1.1 Subject to this Clause 22, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may transfer any of its rights (including such as relate to that Lender's participation in each Loan) and/or obligations, to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”). 22.1.2 The consent of the Finance Parties is hereby given to a transfer by an Existing Lender to a New Lender. 22.2 Company consent 22.2.1 The consent of the Company is required for a transfer by an Existing Lender, provided that the Company hereby consents to a transfer: (A) to another Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender; or (B) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing. 22.2.2 Notwithstanding the above, no transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a Utilisation by and/or Commitment to the Company may be effected to a New Lender incorporated or acting through the Facility Office situated in a Non- Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Company. In case of a transfer of obligations, the New Lender shall be a credit institution duly authorised to lend in France in accordance with French law. 22.2.3 The consent of the Company to a transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Provided that, during such period of time, the Company has been provided with (i) the name of the New Lender, (ii) its place of incorporation, (iii) its rating and (iv) the list of sanctions laws or regulations applicable to the New Lender, the Company will be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time. 22.2.4 The consent of the Company to a transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time. 22.3 Other conditions of transfer 22.3.1 Subject to any applicable laws and regulations regarding procedures for specific transfer, a transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 22.6 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.


 
07/16927352_14 63 22.3.2 If: (A) a Lender transfers any of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and (B) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the transfer or change occurs, the Company 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 Clause 13 (Increased Costs), 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 transfer or change had not occurred. This Clause 22.3.2 shall not apply in respect of a transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of any Facility. 22.3.3 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the 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 becomes effective and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender. 22.4 Transfer fee The New Lender shall, on the date upon which a transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of €3,000. 22.5 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders 22.5.1 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for: (A) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents; (B) the financial condition of the Company; (C) the performance and observance by the Company of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; (D) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document; or (E) the existence of any transferred rights or receivables or their accessories including without limitation as to the transfer or the continued benefit of the French State Guarantee with respect thereto, and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 22.5.2 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: (A) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Company 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 in connection with any Finance Document; and (B) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.


 
07/16927352_14 64 22.5.3 Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to: (A) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations transferred under this Clause 22; or (B) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Company of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise. 22.6 Procedure for transfer 22.6.1 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 22.2 (Company consent) and Clause 22.3 (Other conditions of transfer) and subject to any applicable laws and regulations regarding procedures for specific transfer, a transfer of rights and/or obligations is effected as against the Existing Lender, the New Lender, the Agent and the other Finance Parties in accordance with Clause 22.6.3 below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 22.6.2 below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer 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 Transfer Agreement. 22.6.2 The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer 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 transfer to such New Lender. 22.6.3 Subject to Clause 22.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), as from the Transfer Date: (A) to the extent that in the Transfer Agreement the Existing Lender seeks to transfer its rights and its obligations under the Finance Documents, the Existing Lender shall be discharged to the extent provided for in the Transfer Agreement from further obligations towards the Company and the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and the Company and the other Finance Parties hereby consent to such discharge; (B) the rights and/or obligations of the Existing Lender with respect to the Company shall be transferred to the New Lender, to the extent provided for in the Transfer Agreement; (C) the Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have had 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 Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and (D) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”. 22.7 Copy of Transfer Agreement to Company The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Agreement, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Agreement.


 
07/16927352_14 65 22.8 Security over Lenders' rights 22.8.1 In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 22, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from the Company, at any time transfer, charge, pledge 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 transfer, charge, pledge or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank) including, without limitation, any transfer of rights to a special purpose vehicle where Security over securities issued by such special purpose vehicle is to be created in favour of a federal reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank); and (B) any transfer, charge, pledge 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 transfer, charge, pledge or Security shall: (1) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant transfer, charge, pledge or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or (2) require any payments to be made by the Company 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. 22.8.2 The limitations on transfers by a Lender set out in any Finance Document, in particular in Clause 22.1 (Transfers by the Lenders), Clause 22.2 (Company consent) and Clause 22.4 (Transfer fee) shall not apply to the creation of Security pursuant to paragraph 22.8.1 above. 22.8.3 The limitations and provisions referred to in paragraph 22.8.2 above shall further not apply to any transfer of rights under the Finance Documents or of the securities issued by the special purpose vehicle, made by a federal reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank) to a third party in connection with the enforcement of Security created pursuant to paragraph 22.8.1 above. 22.9 Pro rata interest settlement 22.9.1 If the 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 22.6 (Procedure for transfer) 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): (A) 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 (B) the rights transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:


 
07/16927352_14 66 (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and (2) the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 22.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 22.9.2 In this Clause 22.9 references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.] 22.9.3 An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 22.9 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. 23.

07/16927352_14 67 (A) unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by: (1) all Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is an all Lender decision; and (2) in all other cases, the Majority Lenders; and (B) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph 24.2.1(A) above. 24.2.2 The 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 Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion. The Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested. 24.2.3 Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties. 24.2.4 The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders 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 which it may incur in complying with those instructions. 24.2.5 In the absence of instructions, the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders. 24.2.6 The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document. 24.3 Duties of the Agent 24.3.1 The Agent's duties under the Finance Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature. 24.3.2 Subject to Clause 24.3.3 below, the Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Agent for that Party by any other Party. 24.3.3 Without prejudice to Clause 22.7 (Copy of Transfer Agreement to Company), Clause 24.3.1 above shall not apply to any Transfer Agreement. 24.3.4 Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party. 24.3.5 If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties. 24.3.6 If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than the Agent or the Coordinator ) under this Agreement it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.


 
07/16927352_14 68 24.3.7 The Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Finance Documents to which it is expressed to be a party (and no others shall be implied). 24.4 Role of the Coordinator Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, the Coordinator has no obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with any Finance Document. 24.5 No fiduciary duties 24.5.1 Nothing in any Finance Document constitutes the Agent as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person. 24.5.2 The Agent shall not be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account. 24.6 Business with the Group The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any member of the Group. 24.7 Rights and discretions 24.7.1 The Agent may: (A) rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; (B) assume that: (1) any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and (2) unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and (C) rely on a certificate from any person: (1) as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or (2) to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing, (3) as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph 24.7.1(C)(1) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate. 24.7.2 The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that: (A) no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 21.1 (Non-payment)); (B) any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and (C) any notice or request made by the Company (other than a Utilisation Request or Selection Notice) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of the Company. 24.7.3 The Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts. 24.7.4 Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 24.7.3 above or paragraph 24.7.5 below, the Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any

In this case, the Agent shall resign and a replacement Agent shall be appointed by the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Company) within 30 days after notice of replacement was given. 24.12.4 If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 24.12.2 above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent (acting through an office in France). 24.12.5 If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph 24.12.4 above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 24 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the 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 Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties. 24.12.6 The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as


 
07/16927352_14 72 Agent under the Finance Documents. The Company shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring 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. 24.12.7 The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor. 24.12.8 Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph 24.12.6 above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 24 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring 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. 24.12.9 After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with Clause 24.12.2 above. In this event, the Agent shall resign in accordance with Clause 24.12.2 above. 24.12.10 The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph 24.12.2 above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to paragraph 24.12.4 above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either: (A) the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.8 (FATCA information) and the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; (B) the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.8 (FATCA information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or (C) the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date, and (in each case) the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Company or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign. 24.13 Confidentiality 24.13.1 In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the 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. 24.13.2 If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it. 24.14 Relationship with the Lenders 24.14.1 Subject to Clause 22.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent's principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office: (A) entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and


 
07/16927352_14 73 (B) 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. 24.14.2 Any Lender may by notice to the 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 30.5 (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 30.2 (Addresses) and Clause 30.5.1(B) of Clause 30.5 (Electronic communication) and the 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. 24.15 Credit appraisal by the Lenders Without affecting the responsibility of the Company for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to: 24.15.1 the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group; 24.15.2 the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; 24.15.3 whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and 24.15.4 the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document. 24.16 Agent's management time Any amount payable to the Agent under Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and Expenses) and Clause 24.11 (Lenders' indemnity to the Agent) shall include the cost of utilising the Agent's management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Company and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 11 (Fees). 24.17 Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the


 
07/16927352_14 74 Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted. 24.18 Role of Reference Banks 24.18.1 No Reference Bank is under any obligation to provide a quotation or any other information to the Agent. 24.18.2 No Reference Bank will be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, or for any Reference Bank Quotation, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 24.18.3 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 might 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 24.18. 25.

SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES 27.1 Payments to Finance Parties If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers any amount from the Company other than in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then such Recovering Finance Party shall be deemed to have been substituted for the Agent for purposes of receiving or recovering a Sharing Payment (as defined below) and: 27.1.1 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent; 27.1.2 the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 27.1.3 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Partial payments).


 
07/16927352_14 78 27.2 Redistribution of payments The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Company and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 28.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of the Company to the Sharing Finance Parties. 27.3 Recovering Finance Party's rights On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from the Company, as between the Company 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 the Company to the Recovering Finance Party. 27.4 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: 27.4.1 each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the 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 27.4.2 as between the Company and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Company to the relevant Sharing Finance Party. 27.5 Exceptions 27.5.1 This Clause 27 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 Company. 27.5.2 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: (A) it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and (B) 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.
