65

6.2 Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans

(a) Each Borrower which has drawn a Revolving Facility Loan shall repay that Loan on the last day of its Interest Period or, if earlier, the Termination Date.

(b) Without prejudice to each Borrower's obligation under paragraph (a) above, if:

(i) one or more Revolving Facility Loans are to be made available to a Borrower:

(A) on the same day that a maturing Revolving Facility Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower;

(B) in the same currency as the maturing Revolving Facility Loan; and

(C) in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Facility Loan; and

(ii) the proportion borne by each Lender's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan to the amount of that maturing Revolving Facility Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender's participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Revolving Facility Loans,

the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans shall, unless the relevant Borrower or the Company notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan so that:

(A) if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans:

I. the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 40.1 (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

II. each Lender's participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 40.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans; and

(B) if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans:

I. the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 40.1 (Payments to the Agent); and

II. each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 40.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans exceeds that Lender's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and the remainder of that Lender's participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender's participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan.

66

(c) At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Revolving Facility Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date in relation to the Revolving Facility and will be treated as separate Revolving Facility Loans (the Separate Loans).

(d) A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving three Business Days' prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.

(e) Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan.

(f) The terms of this Agreement relating to Revolving Facility Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (c) to (e) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan.

6.3 Effect of cancellation and prepayment on scheduled repayments

(a) If the Company cancels the whole or any part of the Term Commitments in accordance with Clause 7.5 (Right of cancellation and repayment in relation to a single Lender) or if the Available Commitment of any Lender is cancelled under Clause 7.1 (Illegality) then (other than, in any relevant case, to the extent that any part of the relevant Term Commitment(s) so cancelled is subsequently increased pursuant to Clause 2.3 (Default Increase)) the amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Term Facility Repayment Date falling after that cancellation will reduce pro rata by the amount cancelled.

(b) If the Company cancels the whole or any part of the Term Commitments in accordance with Clause 7.2 (Voluntary cancellation) or if the whole or part of any Term Commitment is cancelled pursuant to Clause 5.6 (Cancellation of Commitment) then, the amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Term Facility Repayment Date falling after that cancellation will reduce in inverse chronological order by the amount cancelled.

(c) If any Term Loan is repaid or prepaid in accordance with Clause 7.5 (Right of cancellation and repayment in relation to a single Lender) or Clause 7.1 (Illegality) then, other than to the extent that any part of the relevant Commitment is subsequently increased pursuant to Clause 2.3 (Default Increase)), the amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Term Facility Repayment Date falling after that repayment or prepayment will reduce pro rataby the amount of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid.

(d) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with Clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Term Loans), or Clause 8.2 (Disposal, Insurance and Acquisition Proceeds and Excess Cashflow) then the amount of the Repayment Instalment for each Term Facility Repayment Date falling after that prepayment will reduce in inverse chronological order by the amount of the Term Loan prepaid.

(b) If the Compliance Certificate received by the Agent which relates to the relevant Annual Financial Statements shows that a higher Margin should have applied during a certain period, then the Company shall (or shall ensure the relevant Borrower shall) promptly pay to the Agent any amounts necessary to put the Lenders in the position they would have been in had the appropriate rate of the Margin applied during such period.

10.3 Default interest

Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b) If any overdue amount 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:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross- up);

19. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

19.1 Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

(a) guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents (the Guaranteed Obligations);

(b) undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c) agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

19.2 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.

19.3 Reinstatement

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, business rescue proceedings, liquidation, administration, judicial management or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

19.4 Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (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 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;

91

(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 person;

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

(g) any insolvency, business rescue or similar proceedings.

19.5 Guarantor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

19.6 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 rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 19. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

(b) Without limiting the generality of this Clause 19.6, each Obligor incorporated in the Philippines hereby irrevocably waives (i) any right of excussion or any right to require a Finance Party to exhaust first all the properties of the Obligor or to avail itself first of remedies against any Obligor or against the other Guarantors, or (ii) any benefit of division or any right to require the Finance Party to claim from the other Guarantors their share in the obligation, that such Obligor incorporated in the Philippines may have under any applicable law.

19.7 Appropriations

Until 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, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(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 Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 19.

92

19.8 Deferral of Guarantors' rights

Until 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 and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 19:

(a) to be indemnified by an Obligor;

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

(c) 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 the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

(d) 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 Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 19.1 (Guarantee and indemnity), and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and of Clause 19.4 (Waiver of defences), in the case of any Obligor incorporated in the Philippines, to obtain release from the guarantee, or to demand a security that shall protect it from any proceedings by the creditor and from the danger of insolvency of any Obligor;

(e) 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 a Guarantor 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 amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid 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 40 (Payment Mechanics).

19.9 Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

If any Guarantor (a Retiring Guarantor) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

(a) that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(b) each other Guarantor 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 Guarantor.

(c) US Guarantor Guarantee Limitations:

(i) Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Clause 19 or any other term in this Agreement or any Finance Document, each Finance Party agrees that the US Guarantor's liability under this Clause, without the requirement of amendment or any other formality, be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its liability hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provision of comparable state law, in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such US Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such US Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

(ii) The US Guarantor acknowledges that:

(A) it will receive valuable direct or indirect benefits as a result of the transactions financed by the Finance Documents; and

(B) those benefits will constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the purpose of any fraudulent transfer law.

(iii) The US Guarantor represents and warrants to each Finance Party that:

(A) the aggregate amount of its debts (including its obligations under the Finance Documents) is less than the aggregate value (being the lesser of fair valuation and present fair saleable value) of its assets;

(iv) Each representation and warranty in this Clause 19.11(c):

(A) is made by the US Guarantor on the date of the Second Amendment Agreement;

(B) is deemed to be repeated by:

I. each Additional Guarantor on the date that Additional Guarantor becomes a US Guarantor; and

is, when repeated, applied to the circumstances existing at the time of repetition.

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Clause shall remain in full force and effect until the obligations under the Finance Documents are discharged in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Clause 19.12(b) constitutes, and this Clause 19.12(b) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(c) An assignment 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 Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

147

(ii) the performance by the Agent, and as may be required for the Security Agent and Secondary Security Agent, of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that Clause to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (d) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facilities.

(e) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or 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 transfer or 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.

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor 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 or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and

(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

203

(vi) 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 (except this paragraph (vi) does not permit the disclosure of any information under section 275(1) and 275(4) of the Australian PPSA unless section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies);

SCHEDULE 11

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. Considerations

(a) In determining what Security and/or guarantees will be provided by any member of the Group in support of the Facilities (and any related hedging arrangements in respect of the types of liabilities and/or risks which this Agreement requires to be hedged) the following matters will be taken into account. Security and/or guarantees shall not be created/granted or perfected to the extent that it would:

(i) result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, capital maintenance, fraudulent preference or thin capitalisation laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction or would otherwise be contrary to the law in that jurisdiction;

(ii) result in a significant risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of Security and/or guarantee of contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or of civil or criminal liability;

(iii) result in any breach of any licenses, permits or tax or other government incentives, any existing joint venture/shareholder agreements or any other existing material contractual obligations of any member of the Group; or

(iv) result in costs that, in the opinion of the Agent, are disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of that Security and/or guarantee.

(b) If at any time any such law, regulation, restriction, duty, liability or cost ceases to apply, the Company must procure the creation/grant or perfection of any Security and/or guarantee by the relevant member of the Group that was not previously created or perfected due to that law, regulation, restriction, duty, liability or cost. In addition, at all times, each Obligor must use, and must procure that the relevant person uses, all reasonable endeavours lawfully available to avoid any such unlawfulness or liabilities of its officers and, if at any time the unlawfulness or liabilities ceases to apply with respect to any such person, the Company must comply with its obligations in respect of that person at that time.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in these Agreed Security Principles, "cost" includes, but is not limited to, income tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any Security and/or guarantee, stamp duties, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred or will be incurred by the relevant grantor of Security and/or guarantee (as the case may be) or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(d) The perfection of security and/or guarantee (as the case may be) granted will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Obligor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Finance Documents such as where such perfection would require the freezing of an operating account with a bank which is not otherwise required to be subject to blocking arrangements under the Finance Documents.

(e) No perfection action will be required in jurisdictions where neither Obligors nor their material assets are located.

253

2. Obligations to be Secured

(a) Subject to paragraph 1 (Considerations) and to paragraph (c) below, the obligations to be secured and/or guarantee (as the case may be) are the Secured Obligations (as defined below). Unless otherwise provided in a Finance Document, any Security is to be granted in favour of the Security Agent on behalf of each Lender from time to time, the Agent, the MLABs and any Hedge Counterparty.

(b) For ease of reference, the following definitions should, to the extent legally possible, be incorporated into each Transaction Security Document:

Liability means any present or future liability (actual or contingent), together with:

(i) any permitted novation, deferral or extension of that liability;

(ii) any further advance which may be made under any agreement expressed to be supplemental to any document in respect of that liability, together with all related interest, fees and costs;

(iii) any claim for damages or restitution in the event of rescission of that liability or otherwise;

(iv) any claim flowing from any recovery by a payment or discharge in respect of that liability on the grounds of preference or otherwise; and

(v) any amount (such as post-insolvency interest) which would be included in any of the above but for its discharge, non-provability, unenforceability or non-allowability in any insolvency or other proceedings.

Secured Obligations means all the Liabilities and all other present and future liabilities and obligations at any time due, owing or incurred by any member of the Group to any Secured Party under the Finance Documents, both actual and contingent and whether incurred solely or jointly and as principal or surety or in any other capacity.

Secured Parties means the Finance Parties, any Receiver or Delegate.

(c) The secured obligations will be limited:

(i) to avoid any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference, thin capitalisation rules or the laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction; and

(ii) to avoid any risk to officers of the relevant member of the Group that is granting Transaction Security and/or guarantee (as the case may be) of contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or civil or criminal or personal liability.

3. General

(a) Where appropriate, defined terms in the Transaction Security Documents should mirror those in this Agreement.

(b) The parties to this Agreement agree to negotiate the form of each Transaction Security Document in good faith and will ensure that all documentation required to be entered into as a condition precedent to first drawdown under this Agreement (or immediately thereafter) is in a finally agreed form as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. The form of guarantee is set out in Clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of this Agreement and, with respect to any Additional Guarantor, is subject to any limitations set out in the Accession Deed applicable to such Additional Guarantor.

254

(c) The Security shall, to the extent possible under local law, be enforceable following receipt by the Company of a notice from the Agent declaring that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a Declared Default).

(d) Unless there is a Declared Default, the relevant Security Provider will be permitted to retain and exercise voting rights to any pledged shares (in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security or cause an Event of Default to occur) and to receive and retain dividends.

(e) If an Obligor owns shares in a member of the Group that is not an Obligor or a Material Company, no steps shall be taken to create or perfect security over those shares unless it is organised in the same jurisdiction as an Obligor or Material Company whose shares are subject to the same security in favour of the Security Agent.

(f) Any rights of set off will not be exercisable until the occurrence of an Event of Default and will only be exercisable for so long as such Event of Default is continuing.

(g) Notification of receivables security to debtors (other than intra-group debtors where prompt notice will be given) will only be given if a Declared Default has occurred.

4. Bank accounts

(a) If any Obligor grants security over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal with those accounts (other than the Mandatory Prepayment Account, the Holding Account and the Debt Service Account (together, the Facility Accounts)), in the course of its business until a Declared Default.

(b) In respect of any security over any account (other than the Facility Accounts) granted by any Obligor, if required by local law to perfect (or ensure the intended priority of) such security:

(i) notice of the security or a form of account control agreement (as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) will be served on the account bank by the relevant Obligor (also being the holder of such account) within 30 days of the security being granted; and

(ii) the relevant Obligor shall use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice or acceptance of such account control agreement within thirty Business Days of service, provided that an account control agreement will only need to be entered into with an account bank, if at any time, the aggregate of account balances at the relevant account bank exceeds US$250,000.

(c) Any security over any account (other than the Facility Accounts) shall be subject to any prior security interests in favour of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank or as part of the Group's cash management arrangements. The notice of security may request these are waived by the account bank but the Obligor shall not be required to change its banking arrangements if these security interests are not waived or only partially waived.

5. Undertakings/Representations and Warranties

(a) Any representations, warranties or undertakings which are required to be included in any Transaction Security Document shall reflect (to the extent to which the subject matter of such representation, warranty and undertaking is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty and undertaking in this Agreement) the commercial deal set out in this Agreement (save to the extent that Secured Parties' local counsel deem it necessary to include any further provisions (or deviate from those contained in this Agreement) in order to protect or preserve the Security granted to the Secured Parties).

255

(b) There shall be no additional Events of Default or requirements to pay costs, provisions for default or penalty interest, tax gross-up or any indemnities in the Transaction Security unless the security provider is not a party to this Agreement or these are required as a matter of local law for the creation or perfection of the Security and are identical (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in this Agreement.

(c) Information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, and only to the extent, required by local law to be provided to perfect or register the security and, unless required to be provided by local law more frequently, be provided semi-annually (or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, on the Security Agent's request).

(d) The Security Agent, Lenders and/or hedging providers (as applicable) shall only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing or if the relevant Obligor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation within five Business Days of being notified of that failure and being requested to comply.

(e) The Transaction Security Documents should not operate so as to prevent transactions which are permitted under this Agreement or to require additional consents or authorisations from the Finance Parties that would not otherwise be required under the Finance Documents.

(f) The Transaction Security Documents will not accrue interest on any amount in respect of which interest is accruing under this Agreement.

6. Scope of Security
