Words and expressions defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used in this Letter (unless otherwise defined herein).

 

We are writing to you in our capacity as Agent acting on behalf of all of the Lenders and with their consent as required under clause 27.2 of the Loan Agreement.

 

You have requested, and we, as Agent acting with the authority of all of the Lenders, have agreed that pursuant to clause 2.5 (Margin renegotiation) of the Loan Agreement, the definition of “Margin” in clause 1.1 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended with effect from 31 January 2017 by deleting the current definition of “Margin” and replacing it with the following new definition as follows:

We confirm that as a consequence of the amendment to the Margin, paragraph (b) of the definition of Maturity Date applies.

 

This Letter and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the provisions of clauses 30.2 to 30.6 (inclusive) of the Loan Agreement shall apply to this Letter.
