FATCA Deduction
(a)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

The amount payable by an Obligor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.
18.2
Continuing guarantee
This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.



104

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Obligor under this Clause 18 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.
18.4
Waiver of defences
The obligations of each Obligor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:
(a)
any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;
(b)
the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor or any member of the Group;
(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 Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any Security;
(d)
any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other member of the Group or any other person;

18.6
Immediate recourse
(a)
Each Obligor 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 rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Obligor under this Clause 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.
(b)
Each Obligor acknowledges the right of the Agent pursuant to Clause 24.18 (Acceleration) to accelerate the payment of any sum that may become due under any guarantee or indemnity contained in this Clause 18.

(a)
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) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Obligor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and
(b)
hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Obligor or on account of any Obligor's liability under this Clause 18.

to be indemnified by an Obligor;
(b)
to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Obligor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity)

to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or
(f)
to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.
If an Obligor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all the Secured Liabilities to be repaid

106


 


in full, on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment Mechanics).
18.9
Release of Obligors' right of contribution
If any Obligor (Retiring Obligor) ceases to be an Obligor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Obligor then on the date such Retiring Obligor ceases to be an Obligor:
(a)
that Retiring Obligor is released by each other Obligor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Obligor arising by reason of the performance by any other Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and
(b)
each other Obligor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Obligor.
18.10
Additional security
This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.
18.11
Further assurance
Each Obligor agrees that it shall promptly, at the direction of the Agent (acting reasonably), execute and deliver at its own expense any document (executed as a deed or under hand as the Agent may direct in writing) and do any act or thing required in order to confirm or establish the validity and enforceability of the guarantee and indemnity intended to be created by it under this Clause 18.
18.12
Limitations: Luxembourg Guarantors
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the guarantee granted by any Luxembourg Guarantor under this Clause 18 for the obligations of any Obligor which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited at any time, with no double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:
(b)
95% of such Luxembourg Guarantor's capitaux propres (as referred to in article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 on the commercial register and annual accounts as amended (the 2002 Law), determined as at the date on which a demand is made under this guarantee, increased by the amount of any Intra-Group Liabilities; and
(c)
95% of such Luxembourg Guarantor's capitaux propres (as referred to in art 34 of the 2002 Law) determined as at the date of this Agreement, increased by the amount of any Intra‑Group Liabilities.
(d)
For the purpose of determining the amount of the capitaux propres under this Clause 18.12, the assets of the Luxembourg Guarantor will be valued at their market value rather than their book value, as determined in good faith by the Agent or a reputable external expert to be appointed and instructed by the Agent (acting in its absolute discretion). Each Luxembourg Guarantor acknowledges that it is not entitled to challenge the appointment and instruction of an external expert made by the Agent and that

107


 


it is not entitled to challenge the determination of the value of its assets made by the Agent or the external expert, save in case of manifest error.
(e)
For the purposes of this Clause 18.12, Intra-Group Liabilities shall mean any amounts owed by the Luxembourg Guarantor to any other member of the group of companies to which it belongs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owed that are represented by hybrid instruments such as preferred equity certificates) and that have not been financed (directly or indirectly) by a borrowing under the Finance Documents.
(f)
In addition, the above limitation shall not apply to (i) any amounts borrowed by a Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries under the Finance Documents and (ii) any amounts borrowed under the Finance Documents and on-lent, or otherwise made available, to the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (in any form whatsoever).

(a)
the obligations and liabilities of each French Guarantor under the Finance Documents and in particular under this Clause 18 will not include any obligation or liability which if incurred would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of article L. 225-216 of the French Commercial Code and/or misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article L.242-6 or L.244-1 of the French Commercial Code or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts;
(b)
the obligations and liabilities of each French Guarantor under Clause 18 for the obligations under the Finance Documents of any other Obligor which is not a Subsidiary of that French Guarantor (the Guaranteed Obligor), will be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts borrowed directly or indirectly under the Finance Documents by that Guaranteed Obligor and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent or otherwise made available by the Guaranteed Obligor to that French Guarantor or its Subsidiaries under any French Term Loan Agreement, inter-company loan agreement or similar arrangement and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Guarantor under this Clause 18(Guarantee and Indemnity) (it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Clause 18 in respect of such Guaranteed Obligor's payment obligations under the Finance Documents shall automatically extinguish the payment obligations of such French Guarantor or of its Subsidiaries towards such Guaranteed Obligor pro tanto); and
(c)
the obligations and liabilities of each French Guarantor under Clause 18 for the obligations under the Finance Documents of any Obligor which is its Subsidiary shall not, in relation to amounts due by such Obligor as Borrower, be limited and shall therefore cover all amounts due by such Obligor as Borrower and, in relation to amounts due by such Obligor as Guarantor of another Obligor (the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligor), shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts borrowed directly or indirectly under the Agreement by the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligor and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent or otherwise provided by it to that French Guarantor and/or its Subsidiaries under inter-company loan agreements or similar arrangements and

Subject to Clause 25.3 (Assignments by the Original French Facility Lender), an Existing Lender may only assign to any proposed New Lender its rights and obligations in respect of each of Facility A, Facility B, Facility C and each French Facility if, at the time of such assignment, an equal amount of each Facility is assigned to such New Lender.
(b)
An assignment or other disposal will only be effective on:
(i)
receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and
(ii)
performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment or other disposal to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.
(c)
If:
(i)
a Lender assigns or otherwise disposes of any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

151


 


(ii)
as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, disposal or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) or 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 assignment, disposal or change had not occurred. This paragraph (c) shall not apply:
(iii)
in respect of an assignment made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility; or
(iv)
in respect of a payment made by a UK Borrower under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up), to a UK Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subparagraph (i)(ii)(B) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that UK Treaty Lender.
(d)
Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Assignment 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 assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.
(e)
Nothing in any Finance Document shall be construed as prohibiting a Lender from creating Security over any or all of its rights under the Finance Documents (including any Security created under the Finance Documents) in favour of any person at any time.
(f)
The New Lender will, at its costs, arrange for the assignment to be notified to each French Obligor by a bailiff (huissier) in accordance with article 1690 of the French Civil Code.
(g)
Notwithstanding the above, no assignment or sub-participation or sub-contracting may be effected in respect of advances made to the Facility B Borrower to a New Lender incorporated or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.
(h)
No Lender may change its Facility Office to a Facility Office in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, and a Lender must notify the Agent promptly following a change of Facility Office and the Agent shall notify the Company within five Business Days of its having received notice from any Lender of a change in that Lender’s Facility Office.
25.3
Assignments by the Original French Facility Lender
(a)
Except with the consent of all the Lenders (and excluding any assignment pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents), the Original French Facility Lender must not assign any of its rights in respect of any French Facility as long as the Facility B Loan is outstanding.
(b)
At the direction of the Lenders and to the extent the Facility B Loan has not already been paid and discharged in full, the Original French Facility Lender will assign all, but not part only, of its rights and obligations in respect of each French Facility which, at that time is outstanding, to any New Lender

152


 


or New Lenders approved by all the Lenders, provided that relevant changes are made to this Agreement and, as applicable, the French Term Loan Agreements to the satisfaction of all relevant parties acting in good faith.
(c)
Any assignment by the Original French Facility Lender must be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each French Term Loan Agreement and must be made at par (unless the Original French Facility Lender and all the other Lenders otherwise consent).

Upon the assignment by the Original French Facility Lender of all of its rights and obligations under the French Term Loan Agreements to a New Lender or New Lenders, the Original French Facility Lender will direct such New Lender or New Lenders to pay the relevant purchase price directly to the Agent (for the benefit of the Facility B Lender).
(e)
Upon the assignment by the Original French Facility Lender of all of its rights and obligations under the French Term Loan Agreements to a New Lender or New Lenders, each Lender agrees to release, or instruct the Security Agent to release, without any consent, sanction authority or further confirmation from any Finance Party or Obligor, any Transaction Security which has been granted by the Original French Facility Lender over its rights in respect of the French Term Loan Agreements and any Transaction Security granted to secure the Facility B Loan only.
(f)
Notwithstanding the above, no assignment or sub-participation or sub-contracting may be effected by the Original French Facility Lender in respect of any French Facility to a New Lender incorporated or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(ii)
the financial condition of any Transaction Obligor;
(iii)
the performance and observance by any Transaction Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or
(iv)
the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,
and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.
(b)
Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:
(i)
has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Transaction Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any

153


 


information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and
(ii)
will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Transaction Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.
(c)
Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
(i)
accept a re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights assigned of under this Clause 25; or
(ii)
support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non‑performance by any Transaction Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.
25.6
Procedure for assignment
(a)
Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(b)
The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know you customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.
(c)
Subject to Clause 25.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:
(i)
the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights and obligations under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;
(ii)
the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the Relevant Obligations) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and
(iii)
the New Lender shall become a Party as a Lender and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.
(d)
Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 25.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor, to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment).
(e)
Transfer or assignment of the French Facility Loans shall be carried out in compliance with French law and the French Term Loan Agreements, and if necessary for perfecting such transfer or assignment

25.7
Copy of Assignment Agreement to Obligors' Agent

25.8
Security over Lender's rights
(a)
In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 25 and subject to paragraph (b) below, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:
(i)
any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and
(ii)
in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as Security for those obligations or securities,
except that no such charge, assignment or other Security shall:
(iii)
release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or
(iv)
require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.
(b)
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, as long as the Facility B Loan is outstanding, the Original French Facility Lender must only charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all its rights in respect of the French Term Loan Agreements and related Transaction Security in favour of the Security Agent in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the relevant Security Documents.
25.9
Pro rata interest settlement
(a)
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 assignment pursuant to Clause 25.6 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):
(i)
any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

155


 


(ii)
the rights assigned by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:
(A)
when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and
(B)
the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 25.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.
(b)
In this Clause 25.9 references to Interest Period shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

in ascertaining:
(A)
the Majority Lenders; or
(B)
whether (I) any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments; (II) or the agreement of any specified group of Lenders,
has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents such Commitment shall be deemed to be zero and such Sponsor Affiliate or the person with whom it has entered into such sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (A) and (B) above (unless in the case of a person not being a Sponsor Affiliate it is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Commitment). The Sponsor Affiliate or the person with whom it has entered into a sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be bound by any decisions made by the Majority Lenders voting on any request for a consent waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents.
(b)
Each Lender shall, unless such Debt Purchase Transaction is an assignment, promptly notify the Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction with a Sponsor Affiliate (a Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction), such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part 1 of Schedule 11 (Forms of Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction Notice).

Nothing in paragraph (a) above shall prevent any Lender under any French Term Loan Agreement voting in accordance with the provisions set out in this Agreement.

any Security Document governed by French law,
(C)

Parallel Debt
(a)
Other than the security granted by the relevant French Obligor to the French Facility Lender and subject to the guarantee limitation provided in Clause 18.13 (Limitations: French Guarantors), each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (such undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are a result thereof, hereinafter being referred to as its Parallel Debt) to pay to the Security Agent an amount equal the aggregate amount payable by it to any Finance Party under any Finance Document (the Principal Obligations) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Principal Obligations. The Parallel Debt of each Obligor shall become due and payable as and when its Principal Obligations become due and payable.
(b)
Each of the Parties acknowledges that:
(i)
the Parallel Debt of each Obligor constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of such Obligor to the Security Agent (in its personal capacity and not in its capacity as agent) which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, its Principal Obligations and represents the Security Agent's own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from such Obligor; and

the Security created under the Finance Documents to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Security Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.
(c)
Each of the Parties agrees that:

171


 


(ii)
the Principal Obligations of each Obligor shall be decreased if and to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or in the case of guarantee obligations discharged or decreased (in each case in whole or in part and by the amount of such payment, discharge or decrease); and
(iii)
the amount payable under the Parallel Debt of each Obligor shall at no time exceed the amount payable under its Principal Obligations.
(d)

share the proceeds of each Parallel Debt with the other Finance Parties; and

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement subject to limitations (if any) expressly provided for in any Security Document.
(e)
The rights of the Finance Parties (other than the Security Agent) to receive payment of the Principal Obligations of each Obligor are several and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Security Agent to receive payment under the Parallel Debt.
28.4
Enforcement through Security Agent only
The Finance Parties shall not have any independent power to enforce or have recourse to, any of the Security Property or to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising under the Security Documents except through the Security Agent.

not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with sub-paragraph (i) above.
(b)

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 32.6 (Partial Payments)).

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 31.2 (Redistribution of payments), of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount, equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

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

186

32.3
Distributions to an Obligor
The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 33 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards the purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.
32.4
Clawback and pre-funding

(b)
Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or

(c)
If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrowers before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrowers:
(i)
the Agent shall notify the Obligors' Agent of that Lender's identity and the Borrowers to whom that sum was made available shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and
(ii)
the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrowers to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender.
