SECTION 5
COSTS OF UTILISATION

9. INTEREST

9.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan at any time during an Interest Period relating thereto is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:

(a) the Margin; and

(b) LIBOR for such Loan and such Interest Period.

9.2 Payment of interest

On the last day of each Interest Period relating to a Loan the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on such Loan.

9.3 Default interest

(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on such overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two (2) per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if such overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of such overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 on any overdue amount owing by an Obligor shall be immediately payable by that Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i) the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii) the rate of interest applying to that Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be two (2) per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if that Unpaid Sum had not become due.

(c) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on any Unpaid Sum will be compounded with that Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but will remain immediately due and payable.

9.4 Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

10. INTEREST PERIODS

10.1 Selection of Interest Periods

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement:

(i) the Borrower may select an Interest Period for any Loan in the Utilisation Request relating thereto or (if such Loan has already been borrowed) in a Selection Notice;

(ii) each Selection Notice in respect of an Interest Period for any Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Facility Agent by the Borrower not later than three Business Days prior to the commencement of that Interest Period;

(iii) if the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Facility Agent in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) above in relation to any Interest Period for any Loan, such Interest Period will, subject to paragraph (b), be three Months; and

(iv) the Borrower may (pursuant to paragraph (a)(i)) select an Interest Period for any Loan of one, three or six Months (or such other duration agreed between the Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders)).

(b) No Interest Period for any Loan shall extend beyond the Final Maturity Date. An Interest Period for any Loan that would otherwise extend beyond any Repayment Date (excluding any Interest Period commencing on that Repayment Date) shall end on that Repayment Date.

(c) Each Interest Period for any Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date for such Loan or (in the case of any Loan which is already made) on the last day of the preceding Interest Period relating to such Loan.

10.2 Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is no such next Business Day in that calendar month).

10.3 Changes to Interest Periods

(a) Prior to determining the interest rate for the Term Loan or a Greenshoe Loan, the Facility Agent may shorten an Interest Period for the Term Loan or any Greenshoe Loan to ensure (i) the Term Loan or the Greenshoe Loan has an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date or (ii) that an Interest Period for a Loan ends on a Syndication Date and any Interest Period which would otherwise end during the Month preceding or extend beyond the Syndication Date shall end on the Syndication Date or (iii) that an Interest Period for a Greenshoe Loan ends on the last day of an Interest Period for the Term Loan.

11. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

11.1 Market disruption

(a) Subject to any alternative basis agreed and consented to as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Clause 11.2 (Alternative basis of interest or funding), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period relating thereto, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s participation in that Loan at any time during that Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the Margin; and

(ii) (subject to paragraph (b)) the percentage rate per annum notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender, as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period (or such later date as may be acceptable to the Facility Agent), as the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (provided that if such percentage rate per annum is below zero, then such percentage rate per annum shall be deemed to be zero).

(b) In relation to a Market Disruption Event (in respect of any Loan and any Interest Period relating thereto) falling within paragraph (c)(ii), if the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above in respect of such Loan and such Interest Period is less than LIBOR for such Loan and such Interest Period or if a Lender shall fail to notify the Facility Agent of any such percentage rate per annum pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above in respect of such Loan and such Interest Period, then the cost of that Lender of funding its participation in such Loan for such Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a)(ii) above, to be equal to LIBOR for such Loan and such Interest Period, and such Lender shall be deemed to have notified the Facility Agent of such cost of funding pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above.

(c) In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means in relation to any Loan and any Interest Period relating thereto:

(i) LIBOR for such Loan and such Interest Period is zero or negative; or

(ii) as at 5:00 p.m. (Singapore time) on the Business Day immediately following the Quotation Day for such Loan and such Interest Period, the Facility Agent has received notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose aggregate participations in such Loan exceed 35 per cent. of such Loan) that the cost to it or them of funding its/their participation(s)

in such Loan from whatever source(s) it/they may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR for such Loan and such Interest Period.

(d) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any Loan and any Interest Period relating thereto, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof upon becoming aware of the same.

11.2 Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest under this Agreement.

(b) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed at the end of such thirty-day period, the rate of interest shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation Clause 11.1 (Market disruption)).

11.3 Break Costs

(a) The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or any Unpaid Sum being paid by or recovered from any Obligor on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or that Unpaid Sum.

(b) Each Finance Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs in relation to any Loan or any Unpaid Sum and any Interest Period relating thereto.

(b) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable by an Obligor to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.

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

made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(i) any Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income actually received or receivable by such Finance Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by such Finance Party but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction in which such Finance Party is incorporated;

(ii) any Tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net income of the Facility Office of such Finance Party actually received or receivable by such Finance Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes of Tax to be received or receivable by such Finance Party but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction in which its Facility Office is located; or

If any Indirect Tax is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Party shall pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such Indirect Tax.

(b) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify that Finance Party against all Indirect Tax incurred by that Finance Party in respect of such costs or expenses to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such Indirect Tax.

(c) Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party (or (in the case of an Obligor only) that it is not a US Tax Obligor or FATCA FFI) 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 (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party (and (in the case of an Obligor only) as if it is or has become a US Tax Obligor or FATCA FFI) until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(e) If a Lender fails to supply any form, documentation or other information in accordance with this Clause 13.7, or any form, documentation or other information provided by a Lender to the Facility Agent is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, then such Lender shall indemnify the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss, Tax or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Facility Agent (including any related interest and penalties) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents as a result of such failure.

(f) If the Facility Agent provides an Obligor with sufficient information to determine its withholding obligations under FATCA, but such Obligor fails to withhold as required by FATCA, the Borrower shall indemnify the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss, Tax or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Facility Agent (including any related interest and penalties) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents as a result of such failure.

(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 (to which such FATCA Deduction relates) and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent shall (upon receiving such notification) notify the other Finance Parties.

29. SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

29.1 Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers (whether by set-off or otherwise) any amount from or in respect of any Obligor (the “Relevant Obligor”), other than through a Transaction Agent and in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics), (such amount being a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under any of the Finance Documents then:

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of such receipt or recovery, to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether such receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount that the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had such receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to such receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made (by reference to such receipt or recovery) in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments).

29.2 Redistribution of payments

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with

162

Clause 30.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations owing to such Sharing Finance Parties.

29.3 Recovering Finance Party’s rights

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments), as between such Relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of such Recovered Amount equal to such Sharing Payment shall be treated as not having been paid by such Relevant Obligor (and such Relevant Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to such Sharing Payment, which debt is immediately due and payable).

29.4 Reversal of redistribution

To the extent that any part of such Recovered Amount received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party (which Recovered Amount gives rise to any Sharing Payment) becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

(a) each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to (i) the appropriate part of its share of such Sharing Payment (that is attributable to such Recovered Amount so repayable and repaid by such Recovering Finance Party) together with (ii) an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on such part of such Sharing Payment (or on such part of such Recovered Amount to which such Sharing Payment is attributable) which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay ((i) and (ii) being collectively the “Redistributed Amount”); and

(b) as between such Relevant Obligor and each Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to such Redistributed Amount shall be treated as not having been paid by such Relevant Obligor (and such Relevant Obligor shall be liable to such Sharing Finance Party for a debt equal to such Redistributed Amount, which debt is immediately due and payable).

29.5 Exceptions

(a) This Clause 29 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 Relevant Obligor.

(b) A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which that Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i) it notified that other Finance Party of those legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) 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.

30.2 Distributions by the Facility Agent

(a) Each payment received or recovered by the Facility Agent under any Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 30.3 (Distributions to an Obligor), Clause 30.4 (Clawback), Clause 30.5 (Partial payments) and Clause 28.16 (Deduction from amounts payable by Transaction Agents), be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt or recovery to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the currency of such payment.

(b) The Facility Agent shall distribute payments received or recovered by it (and shall instruct the Security Agent to distribute payments received or recovered by the Security Agent) in relation to all or any part of a Loan to the applicable Lender(s) indicated in the records of the Facility Agent as being so entitled on the applicable date, provided that the Facility Agent is authorised to distribute (and/or instruct the Security Agent to distribute) payments to be made on the

164

(c) Neither Transaction Agent is under any obligation to make payment to any Finance Party on account of any amount owing by any Obligor to such Finance Party in the same currency as that in which such latter-mentioned amount is denominated.

30.4 Clawback

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to a Transaction Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, that Transaction Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

(b) To the extent that a Transaction Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that such Transaction Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by such Transaction Agent shall on demand refund the same to such Transaction Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by such Transaction Agent, calculated by such Transaction Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

30.5 Partial payments

165

(i) first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of, and other amounts owing to, any Administrative Party, any Receiver or any Delegate (in each case for its own account) under the Finance Documents;

(e) the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility

167
