if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Subclause 11.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Subclause 11.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because the exclusion in paragraph (d) of Subclause 11.2 (Tax gross-up) applied.

(c) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Company of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

it must give not less than 10 Business Days prior notice to the Facility Agent (and the Facility Agent must promptly notify the Lenders).

(b) If the accession of an Additional Guarantor requires any Finance Party to carry out customer due diligence requirements in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company must promptly on request by any Finance Party supply to that Finance Party any documentation or other evidence which is reasonably requested by that Finance Party (whether for itself, on behalf of any Finance Party or any prospective new Lender) to enable a Finance Party or prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied with the results of all applicable customer due diligence requirements.

(d) The Obligors acknowledge that the right to accede Additional Guarantors on or after 1 January 2013 is subject to certain of the provisions of the Finance Documents being amended to take account of FATCA before any such accession can take effect.

(e) If one of the wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company is to become an Additional Guarantor, then the Company must (following consultation with the Facility Agent) deliver to the Facility Agent the relevant documents and evidence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents).

(f) The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Guarantor when the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and the Company that it has received all of the documents and evidence referred to in paragraph (d) above in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable.

(g) Delivery of an Accession Agreement, entered into by the relevant Subsidiary and the Company, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and the Company that the Repeating Representations are correct as at the date of delivery.

(a) The Company may request that a Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor by giving to the Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request.

(i) all the Lenders have consented to the Resignation Request;

69

(ii) it is not aware that a Default is outstanding or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Request; and

(iii) no amount owed by that Guarantor under this Agreement is still outstanding.

(c) The Guarantor will cease to be a Guarantor when the Facility Agent gives the notification referred to in paragraph (b) above.

(d) A Guarantor may also cease to be a Guarantor in any other manner approved by all the Lenders.

27.11 Changes to the Reference Banks

(b) The Facility Agent may, and must promptly on request by the Company, appoint additional Lenders (or their Affiliates) so there are at least three Reference Banks.

27.12 Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 27, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create any Security Interest 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 charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

(b) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security Interest 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 Security Interest shall:

(i) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii) 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.

27.13 Register

(i) the Majority Lenders; or

(ii) whether:

(A) any given percentage (including, for unanimity) of the Total Commitments; or

(B) 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, that Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under the Facility will be reduced by the amount of its undrawn Commitments under the Facility and, to the extent that the reduction results in that Defaulting Lender’s Total Commitments being zero, that Defaulting Lender will be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

(b) For the purposes of this Clause, the Facility Agent may assume that the following Lenders are Defaulting Lenders:

(i) any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent that it has become a Defaulting Lender;

76

(ii) any Lender in relation to which it is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of Defaulting Lender has occurred,

28.7 Impaired Agent

(a) If, at any time, the Facility Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s) or if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the Paying Party) and designated as an account for the benefit of the Party beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the Recipient Party). In each case the payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

(b) All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the account will be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.

(c) A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause will be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and will not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the account.

(d) Promptly on the appointment of a successor Facility Agent under this Agreement, each Paying Party must (other than to the extent that the relevant Party has given an instruction under paragraph (e) below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Facility Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with the Finance Documents.

(e) A Paying Party must, promptly on request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:

(i) that it has not given an instruction under paragraph (d) above; and

give instructions to the bank with which the account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.

(c) Other than as set out in this Subclause, the provisions of Subclause 21.13 (Resignation of the Facility Agent) apply to any replacement of the Facility Agent under this Subclause.

77

28.9 Other agency matters

(a) The Facility Agent may disclose the identity of a Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Company and must as soon as reasonably practicable disclose the identity on request by the Company or the Majority Lenders.

(b) The Facility Agent must provide to the Company within 10 Business Days of a request by the Company (but no more frequently than once per calendar month) a list (which may be in electronic form) setting out the names of the Lenders as at the date of that request, their respective Commitments, the address and fax number (and the department or officer, if any, for whose attention any communication is to be made) of each Lender for any communication to be made or document to be delivered under or in connection with the Finance Documents, the electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by electronic mail or other electronic means to and by each Lender to whom any communication under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made by that means and the account details of each Lender for any payment to be distributed by the Facility Agent to that Lender under the Finance Documents.

28.10 Communication when Facility Agent is Impaired Agent

If the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent the Parties may, instead of communicating with each other through the Facility Agent, communicate with each other directly and (while the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Finance Document which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by the Facility Agent will be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant Parties directly. This provision will not operate after a replacement Facility Agent has been appointed.

If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

(b) the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Finance Party would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Agreement without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to a recovery or distribution; and

(c) the recovering Finance Party must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution).

32.2 Effect of redistribution

(a) The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Finance Parties, other than the recovering Finance Party, accordingly.

(b) When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Finance Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

(c) If and to the extent that the recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Finance Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

(d) If:

(i) a recovering Finance Party must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

(ii) the recovering Finance Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

each Finance Party, on the request of the Facility Agent, must reimburse the recovering Finance Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

82

32.3 Exceptions

Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Finance Party need not pay a redistribution to the extent that:

(a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or

(b) it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

(i) the recovering Finance Party notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and

(ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them.

33. SEVERABILITY

If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any jurisdiction, that will not affect:

(b) the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents.

SCHEDULE 4

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1. General

(a) The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Lender for the cost of compliance with:

(i) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or

(ii) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b) The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

(c) The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Lender in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Lenders calculated by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of a Term (or as soon as possible after then).

(d) The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.

(e) Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.

2. For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the UK

(a) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the UK is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

E × 0.01		per cent. per annum
300

where on the day of application of the formula, E is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent under paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per £1 million.

(b) For the purposes of this paragraph 2:

(i) fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(ii) fee tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and

(iii) tariff base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules.

(c) Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

94

(d) If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank must, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Reference Bank as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank.

(e) Each Lender must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. In particular, each Lender must supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(i) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(ii) any other information that the Facility Agent reasonably requires for that purpose.

Each Lender must promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this paragraph.

(f) The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above are determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it under paragraphs (d) and (e) above. Unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the UK.

(g) The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. The Facility Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects.

3. For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State

(a) The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage rate per annum must be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s share in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office.

(b) If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost.

4. Changes

(a) The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:

(i) any change in law or regulation; or

(ii) any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority).

(b) If the Facility Agent, after consultation with the Company, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the UK can be calculated by reference to a screen, the Facility Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this.
