28

SECTION 5 - COSTS OF UTILISATION

8		Interest
8.1		Calculation of interest
		The rate of interest on the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:
			(a)	Margin;
			(b)	LIBOR; and
			(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any.
8.2		Payment of interest
		The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the dates falling at three monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).
8.3		Default interest
8.3.1		If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document (other than the Hedging Contract) on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to clause 8.3.2 below, is 2% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing in accordance with this clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.
8.3.2		If any overdue amount consists of all or part of the Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to the Loan or the relevant part of it:
			(a)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Loan; and
			(b)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2% higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.
8.3.3		Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.
8.4		Notification of rates of interest
		The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.
9		Interest Periods
9.1		Selection of Interest Periods
9.1.1		The Borrower may select an Interest Period for the Loan in the Utilisation Request or (if the Loan has already been borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

29

9.1.2		Each Selection Notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period.
9.1.3		If the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with clause 9.1.2, the relevant Interest Period will subject to clause 9.2 (Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates), be three months.
9.1.4		Subject to this clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of one, three, six, nine or twelve months or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent on the instructions of all the Lenders.
9.1.5		No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.
9.1.6		The first Interest Period for the Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date and each subsequent Interest Period for the Loan shall start on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.
9.2		Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates
		If the Borrower selects an Interest Period which would overrun any later Repayment Date, the Loan shall be divided into parts corresponding to the amounts by which the Total Commitments are scheduled to be reduced under clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility) on each of the Repayment Dates falling during such Interest Period (each of which shall have a separate Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date) and to the balance of the Loan (which shall have the Interest Period selected by the Borrower).
9.3		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 not).
10		Changes to the calculation of interest
10.1		Absence of quotations
		Subject to clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.
10.2		Market disruption
10.2.1		If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to the Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of the Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:
			(a)	the Margin;
			(b)	the rate notified to the 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, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
			(c)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

30

10.2.2		In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means that:
			(a)	at or about noon (London time) on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or
			(b)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the Loan exceed 30% of the Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.
10.3		Alternative basis of interest or funding
10.3.1		If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
10.3.2		Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause 10.3.1 above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders be binding on all Parties.
10.4		Break Costs
10.4.1		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 the Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or Unpaid Sum or relevant part of it.
10.4.2		Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.
11		Fees
11.1		Commitment commission
11.1.1		The Borrower shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each Lender) a fee in dollars computed at the rate of 0.80% per annum on the undrawn portion of that Lender’s Commitment calculated from 12 September 2011 (the “start date”).
11.1.2		The Borrower shall pay the accrued commitment commission on the last day of the period of three months commencing on the start date, on the last day of each successive period of three months thereafter until and on the earlier of (a) the Last Availability Date and (b) the Utilisation Date and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender’s Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective.
11.2		Arrangement fee
		The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger (for distribution to the Lenders and the Arranger in the Arranger’s discretion) a non-refundable arrangement fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

31

		Tax Deduction means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Contract).

12.2.2		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 Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.
12.2.3		If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor under the relevant Finance Document shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
12.2.4		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.
12.2.5		Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

32

12.3.2		Clause 12.3.1 above shall not apply:

				(ii)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
				if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the overall net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or
			(b)	to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up).

12.5.2		If VAT is charged on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any party to a Finance Document (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT charged on that supply.
12.5.3		Where a Finance Document requires any party to it to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT.

			(a)	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;
			(b)	compensated for by clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in clause 12.3.2 applied);
			(c)	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or
			(d)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation.

19.14.2		the Finance Parties will agree to enter into amendments to the Finance Documents (including a supplemental agreement to this Agreement and the Guarantees), in such form and substance as may be required by the Agent and at the cost and expense of the Borrower, which will effect and implement (inter alios) the following changes to the Finance Documents:

Once approved, no material variations may be agreed to the terms of appointment of any such manager without approval (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignment or novation of the terms of appointment without approval shall constitute a material variation).
20.4		Copy of Mortgage on board
		A properly certified copy of the Mortgage shall be kept on board the Ship with its papers and shown to anyone having business with the Ship which might create or imply any commitment or Security Interest over or in respect of the Ship (other than a lien for crew’s wages and salvage) and to any representative of the Agent or the Security Agent.

51

20.5		Notice of Mortgage
		A framed printed notice of the Mortgage shall be prominently displayed in the navigation room and in the Master’s cabin of the Ship. The notice must be in plain type and read as follows:

			(d)	to an Affiliate.
20.8		Sharing of Earnings
		Except with approval, the Borrower shall not enter into any arrangement under which its Earnings from the Ship may be shared with anyone else.

21.4		Third party owned equipment
		Except with approval, equipment owned by a third party shall not be installed on the Ship, unless it can be removed without risk of causing damage to the structure or fabric of the Ship or without incurring significant expense.

		The Ship’s class shall be the Classification with the Classification Society and neither the Classification nor the Classification Society shall be changed without approval and there must be no material overdue recommendations. The Borrower shall procure that the Agent shall have at all times access to the class records of the Ship with the Classification Society and the Borrower will procure that the Classification Society will deliver any such records and other relevant documents to the Agent directly, as the Agent may require from time to time, and that it will co-operate at all times with the Agent for that purpose.

53

21.9		Release from arrest
		The Borrower shall use its reasonable endeavours that the Ship, its Earnings and Insurances shall promptly within 15 days (or such longer period as may be approved) be released from any arrest, detention, attachment or levy, and that any legal process against the Ship shall be promptly within 15 days (or such longer period as may be approved) discharged, by whatever action is required to achieve that release or discharge.

54

			(c)	the Ship’s master has no claim for disbursements other than those incurred by him in the ordinary course of trading on the voyage then in progress.
21.14		Repairers’ liens
		Except with approval, the Ship shall not be put into any other person’s possession for work to be done on the Ship if the cost of that work will exceed or is likely to exceed the Major Casualty Amount unless the Borrower has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent that it has sufficient reserves with the Account Bank to pay for the cost of such work.
21.15		Codes
		The Ship and the persons responsible for its operation shall at all times comply with the requirements of any applicable code or prescribed procedures required to be observed by the Ship or in relation to its operation under any applicable law or regulation (including but not limited to those currently known as the ISM Code and the ISPS Code). The Agent shall promptly be informed of:
			(a)	any threatened or actual withdrawal of any certificate issued in accordance with any such code which is or may be applicable to the Ship or its operation; and

21.17		Lawful use
		The Ship shall not be employed:
			(a)	in any way or in any activity which is unlawful under international law or the domestic laws of any relevant country;

			(d)	if there are hostilities in any part of the world (whether war has been declared or not), in carrying contraband goods
		and the persons responsible for the operation of the Ship shall take all necessary and proper precautions to ensure that this does not happen including participation in industry or other voluntary schemes available to the Ship and in which leading operators of ships operating under the same flag or engaged in similar trades generally participate at the relevant time.
21.18		War zones
		The Ship may enter or remain in any zone which has been declared a war zone by any government entity or the Ship’s war risk insurers, subject to any requirements of the Ship’s insurers necessary to ensure that the Ship remains properly insured and complies with any requirements (including any requirement for the payment of extra insurance premiums) which the insurers specify.

55

22.1		Insurance terms
		In this clause 22:

			(b)	against P&l risks for the highest amount then available in the insurance market for vessels of similar age, size and type as the Ship (but, in relation to liability for oil pollution, for an amount of not less than $1,000,000,000) and a freight, demurrage and defence cover;
			(c)	against such other risks and matters which the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders) notifies it that it considers reasonable for a prudent shipowner or operator to insure against at the time of that notice; and

		The Borrower shall bear, and reimburse to the Agent where incurred by the Agent, all costs and expenses of providing such a valuation under this clause 23 once every calendar year, except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case the cost and expenses of all such valuations shall be borne by the Borrower.
23.4		Valuations procedure
		The value of the Ship shall be determined in accordance with, and by valuers approved and appointed in accordance with, this clause 23. Additional security provided under this clause 23 shall be valued in such a way, on such a basis and by such persons (including the Agent itself) as may be approved.

59

23.5		Currency of valuation
		Valuations shall be provided by valuers in dollars or, if a valuer is of the view that the relevant type of vessel is generally bought and sold in another currency, in that other currency. If a valuation is provided in another currency, for the purposes of this Agreement it shall be converted into dollars at the Agent’s spot rate of exchange for the purchase of dollars with that other currency as at the date to which the valuation relates.
23.6		Basis of valuation
		Each valuation:
			(a)	will be made without physical inspection (unless required by the Agent);
			(b)	will be made on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for a price payable in full in cash on delivery at arm’s length on normal commercial terms between a willing buyer and a willing seller; and

		The Borrower shall promptly provide to the Agent and any such valuer any information which they reasonably require for the purposes of providing such a valuation.
23.8		Approval of valuers
		All valuers must have been approved. The Agent may from time to time notify the Borrower of approval of one or more independent ship brokers as valuers for the purposes of this clause 23. The Agent shall respond promptly to any request by the Borrower for approval of a broker nominated by the Borrower. The Agent may at any time by notice to the Borrower withdraw any previous approval of a valuer for the purposes of future valuations. That valuer may not then be appointed to provide valuations unless it is once more approved. If the Agent has not approved at least three brokers as valuers at a time when a valuation is required under this clause 23, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the names of at least three valuers which are approved.
23.9		Appointment of valuers
		When a valuation is required for the purposes of this clause 23, the Agent or, if so approved at that time, the Borrower shall promptly appoint approved valuers to provide such a valuation. If the Borrower is approved to appoint valuers but fails to do so promptly, the Agent may appoint approved valuers to provide that valuation.
23.10		Number of valuers
		Each valuation shall be carried out by two approved valuers, one nominated by the Agent and one nominated by the Borrower (or, if the Borrower fails to do so, by the Agent), provided that both valuers will be appointed by the Agent.
23.11		Differences in valuations
		If valuations provided by individual valuers differ, the value of the Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the mean average of those valuations.

60

23.12		Security shortfall
		If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Lenders, by notice to the Borrower require such deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within 14 days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrower may:
			(a)	provide additional security over other approved assets by the Lenders in accordance with this clause 23; and/or
			(b)	cancel part of the Total Commitments under clause 7.2 (Voluntary cancellation) but on five Business Days’ notice instead of the period required by such clause; and/or
			(c)	prepay part of the Loan under clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment) but on five Business Days’ notice instead of the period required by such clause.
23.13		Creation of additional security
		The value of any additional security which the Borrower offers to provide to remedy all or part of a shortfall in the amount of the Security Value will only be taken into account for the purposes of determining the Security Value if and when:
			(a)	that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Lenders;
			(b)	a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent in an approved form and manner;
			(c)	this Agreement has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and
			(d)	the Agent, or its duly authorised representative, has received such documents and evidence it may require in relation to that additional security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 in relation to that additional security and its execution and (if applicable) registration.
23.14		Release of additional security
		If the Security Value shall at any time exceed the Minimum Value, and the Borrower shall previously have provided further security to the Security Agent pursuant to clause 23.12 (Security shortfall), the Security Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice from the Borrower to do so and subject to being indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost of doing so, release any such further security specified by the Borrower provided that the Agent is satisfied that, immediately following such release, the Security Value will equal or exceed the Minimum Value and no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
24		Chartering undertakings

30.1		Assignments and transfers by the Lenders
		Subject to this clause 30, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may assign any of its rights to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”).
30.2		Conditions of assignment
30.2.1		The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment by a Lender, unless the assignment is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Event of Default is continuing. The Agent will immediately advise the Borrower of the assignment.
30.2.2		The Borrower’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and will be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the Lender has requested consent unless consent is expressly refused within that time. The Borrower shall not be entitled to refuse or withhold consent solely because an assignment may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.
30.2.3		An assignment will only be effective:
			(a)	on receipt by the Agent 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;
			(b)	on the New Lender entering into any documentation required for it to accede as a party to any Security Document to which the Original Lender is a party in its capacity as a Lender;
			(c)	on the performance by the Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Lender and the New Lender; and
			(d)	if that Existing Lender assigns equal fractions of its Commitment and participation in the Utilisation (if made) under the Facility.
30.2.4		Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, 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.
30.3		Fee
		The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $3,000.
30.4		Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders
30.4.1		Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:
			(a)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

74

			(b)	the financial condition of any Obligor;
			(c)	the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents;
			(d)	the application of any Basel II Regulation and the Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; or
			(e)	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.
30.4.2		Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties and the Finance Parties that it:
			(a)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of:
				(i)	the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors and their related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and
				(ii)	the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents,
				and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document;
			(b)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the application of any Basel II Regulation and any Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; and
			(c)	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.
30.4.3		Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
			(a)	accept a re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights assigned under this clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders); or
			(b)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of the application of any Basel II Regulation or the Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or otherwise.
30.5		Procedure for transfer
30.5.1		Subject to the conditions set out in clause 30.2 (Conditions of assignment) an assignment is effected in accordance with clause 30.5.2 below when (a) the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and (b) the Agent executes any document required under clause 30.2.3 which it may be necessary for it to execute in each case delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender duly executed by them and, in the case of any such other document, any other relevant person. The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a Transfer Certificate and any such other document each duly completed, appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and such other document. The Obligors and the other Finance Parties irrevocably authorise the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on their behalf without any consultations with them.

75

30.5.2		On the Transfer Date:
			(a)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to be released from its obligations under the Finance Documents, the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards the Obligors and the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and rights of the Obligors and the other Finance Parties against the Existing Lender under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations) (but the obligations owed by the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be released);
			(b)	the New Lender shall assume obligations towards each of the Obligors who are a Party and/or the Obligors and the other Finance Parties shall acquire rights against the New Lender which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the New Lender has assumed and/or the Obligors and the other Finance Parties acquired the same in place of the Existing Lender;
			(c)	the other Finance Parties and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Security Agent, Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and
			(d)	the New Lender shall become a Party to the Finance Documents as a “Lender” for the purposes of all the Finance Documents.
30.6		Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower
		The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate and any other document required under clause 30.2.3, send a copy of that Transfer Certificate and such documents to the Borrower.
30.7		Disclosure of information
		Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and, in relation to (a) and (b) below, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other person:
			(a)	to (or through) whom that Lender assigns (or may potentially assign) all or any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents;
			(b)	with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, the Finance Documents or any Obligor; or
			(c)	to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,
		and any Finance Party may disclose to a rating agency or its professional advisers or (with the consent of the Borrower) any other person, any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate.
31		Changes to the Obligors
		No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

			(b)	secondly, as to a sum equivalent to the aggregate amount then due and owing to the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, for those Finance Parties absolutely, and pro-rata to the amounts owing to them under the Finance Documents;
			(c)	thirdly, until such time as the Security Agent is satisfied that all obligations owed to the Finance Parties have been irrevocably and unconditionally discharged in full, held by the Security Agent on a suspense account for payment of any further amounts owing to

84

				the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and further application in accordance with this clause 32.22.1 as and when any such amounts later fall due;
			(d)	fourthly, to such other persons (if any) as are legally entitled thereto in priority to the Obligors; and
			(e)	fifthly, as to the balance (if any), for the Obligors by or from whom or from whose assets the relevant amounts were paid, received or recovered or other person entitled to them.
32.22.2		The Security Agent and each other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall make each application as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, it save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Security Documents) the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Agent) any other beneficiary of the Security Documents or any receiver or administrator may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Security Agent such other beneficiary of the Security Documents or such receiver or administrator may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable.
32.22.3		The Security Agent and/or any other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall obtain a good discharge in respect of the amounts expressed to be due to the other Finance Parties as referred to in this clause 32.22 by paying such amounts to the Agent for distribution in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics).
32.23		Perpetuities
		The perpetuity period to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be 80 years from the date of this Agreement.
32.24		Powers and duties of the Security Agent as trustee of the security
		In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Trust Property and the Security Documents, the Security Agent:
			(a)	shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Agent by this Agreement and/or any Security Document but so that the Security Agent may only exercise such powers and discretions to the extent that it is authorised to do so by the provisions of this Agreement;
			(b)	shall (subject to clause 32.22 (Order of application)) be entitled (in its own name or in the names of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Trust Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by any Finance Document which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations except for any loss arising from the Security Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
			(c)	may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Security Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent (whether being a lawyer or any other person) to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Agent (including the receipt and payment of money) and on the basis that (i) any such agent engaged in any

85

				profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his or her in connection with such employment and (ii) the Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such agent if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent; and

32.25		All enforcement action through the Security Agent
32.25.1		None of the other Finance Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of those Security Documents which are executed in favour of the Security Agent only or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents except through the Security Agent.
32.25.2		None of the other Finance Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of those Security Documents which are executed in their favour or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Security Documents except with the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).
32.26		Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application
		The other Finance Parties shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent and any receiver or administrator under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 32.22 (Order of application).
32.27		Indemnity from Trust Property
32.27.1		In respect of all liabilities, costs or expenses for which the Obligors are liable under this Agreement, the Security Agent and each Affiliate of the Security Agent and each officer or employee of the Security Agent or its Affiliate (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Trust Property in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses whatsoever properly incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person:
			(a)	in the execution or exercise or bona fide purported execution or exercise of the trusts, rights, powers, authorities, discretions and duties created or conferred by or pursuant to the Finance Documents;
			(b)	as a result of any breach by an Obligor of any of its obligations under any Finance Document;
			(c)	in respect of any Environmental Claim made or asserted against an Indemnified Person which would not have arisen if the Finance Documents had not been executed; and

86

			(d)	in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted in any way in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents relating to the Trust Property or the provisions of any of the Finance Documents.
32.27.2		The rights conferred by this clause 32.27 are without prejudice to any right to indemnity by law given to trustees generally and to any provision of the Finance Documents entitling the Security Agent or any other person to an indemnity in respect of, and/or reimbursement of, any liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by it in connection with any of the Finance Documents or the performance of any duties under any of the Finance Documents. Nothing contained in this clause 32.27 shall entitle the Security Agent or any other person to be indemnified in respect of any liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses to the extent that the same arise from such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
32.28		Finance Parties to provide information
		The other Finance Parties shall provide the Security Agent with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents and, in particular, with such necessary directions in writing so as to enable the Security Agent to make the calculations and applications contemplated by clause 32.22 (Order of application) above and to apply amounts received under, and the proceeds of realisation of, the Security Documents as contemplated by the Security Documents, clause 35.5 (Partial payments) and clause 32.22 (Order of application).
32.29		Release to facilitate enforcement and realisation
		Each Finance Party acknowledges that pursuant to any enforcement action by the Security Agent (or a Receiver) carried out on the instructions of the Agent it may be desirable for the purpose of such enforcement and/or maximising the realisation of the Charged Property being enforced against, that any rights or claims of or by the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Finance Parties) and/or any Finance Parties against any Obligor and/or any Security Interest over any assets of any Obligor (in each case) as contained in or created by any Finance Document, other than such rights or claims or security being enforced, be released in order to facilitate such enforcement action and/or realisation and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents, each Finance Party hereby irrevocably authorises the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Agent) to grant any such releases to the extent necessary to fully effect such enforcement action and realisation including, without limitation, to the extent necessary for such purposes to execute release documents in the name of and on behalf of the Finance Parties.
32.30		Undertaking to pay
		Each Obligor which is a Party undertakes with the Security Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties that it will, on demand by the Security Agent, pay to the Security Agent all money from time to time owing, and discharge all other obligations from time to time incurred, by it under or in connection with the Finance Documents.
32.31		Additional trustees
		The Security Agent shall have power by notice in writing to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower to appoint any person approved by the Majority Lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) either to act as separate trustee or as co-trustee jointly with the Security Agent:
			(a)	if the Security Agent reasonably considers such appointment to be in the best interests of the Finance Parties;
			(b)	for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or

87

			(c)	for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against any person of a judgment already obtained,
		and any person so appointed shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) have such rights (including as to reasonable remuneration), powers, duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Agreement shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Security Agent to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment (being no less onerous than would have applied to the Security Agent but for the appointment). The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.
32.32		Non-recognition of trust
		It is agreed by all the parties to this Agreement that:
			(a)	in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this clause 32, the relationship of the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be construed as one of principal and agent, but to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement; and
			(b)	the provisions of this clause 32 insofar as they relate to the Security Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Finance Parties and the relationship between themselves and the Security Agent as their trustee may be amended by agreement between the other Finance Parties and the Security Agent. The Security Agent may amend all documents necessary to effect the alteration of the relationship between the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties and each such other party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect such amendments.
33		Conduct of business by the Finance Parties
33.1		Finance Parties tax affairs
		No provision of this Agreement will:
			(a)	interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;
			(b)	oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or
			(c)	oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.
33.2		Finance Parties acting together
		Notwithstanding clause 2.2 (Finance Parties’ rights and obligations), if the Agent makes a declaration under clause 28.23 (Acceleration) the Agent shall, in the names of all the Finance Parties, take such action on behalf of the Finance Parties and conduct such negotiations with

88

		the Borrower, any Obligors or any Subsidiaries of an Obligor and generally administer the Facility in accordance with the wishes of the Majority Lenders. All the Finance Parties shall be bound by the provisions of this clause and no Finance Party shall be entitled to take action independently against any Obligor or any of its assets without the prior consent of the Majority Lenders.
		This clause shall not override clause 32 (Roles of Agent, Security Agent and Arranger) as it applies to the Security Agent.
33.3		Majority Lenders
33.3.1		Where any Finance Document provides for any matter to be determined by reference to the opinion of, or to be subject to the consent, approval or request of, the Majority Lenders or for any action to be taken on the instructions of the Majority Lenders (a “majority decision”), such majority decision shall (as between the Lenders) only be regarded as having been validly given or issued by the Majority Lenders if all the Lenders shall have received prior notice of the matter on which such majority decision is required and the relevant majority of Lenders shall have given or issued such majority decision. However (as between any Obligor and the Finance Parties) the relevant Obligor shall be entitled (and bound) to assume that such notice shall have been duly received by each Lender and that the relevant majority shall have been obtained to constitute Majority Lenders when notified to this effect by the Agent whether or not this is the case.
33.3.2		If, within ten Business Days of the Agent despatching to each Lender a notice requesting instructions (or confirmation of instructions) from the Lenders or the agreement of the Lenders to any amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance for the purposes of, or in relation to, any of the Finance Documents, the Agent has not received a reply specifically giving or confirming or refusing to give or confirm the relevant instructions or, as the case may be, approving or refusing to approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance, then (irrespective of whether such Lender responds at a later date) the Agent shall treat any Lender which has not so responded as having indicated a desire to be bound by the wishes of 662/3% of those Lenders (measured in terms of the total Commitments of those Lenders) which have so responded.
33.3.3		For the purposes of clause 33.3.2, any Lender which notifies the Agent of a wish or intention to abstain on any particular issue shall be treated as if it had not responded.
33.4		Conflicts
33.4.1		The Borrower acknowledges that the Arranger and its parent undertaking, subsidiary undertakings and fellow subsidiary undertakings (together an Arranger Group) may be providing debt finance, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other persons with which the Borrower may have conflicting interests in respect of the Facility or otherwise.
33.4.2		No member of an Arranger Group shall use confidential information gained from any Obligor by virtue of the Facility or its relationships with any Obligor in connection with their performance of services for other persons. This shall not, however, affect any obligations that any member of an Arranger Group has as Agent in respect of the Finance Documents. The Borrower also acknowledges that no member of an Arranger Group has any obligation to use or furnish to any Obligor information obtained from other persons for their benefit.
33.4.3		The terms parent undertaking, subsidiary undertaking and fellow subsidiary undertaking when used in this clause have the meaning given to them in sections 1161 and 1162 of the Companies Xxx 0000.

89

33.5		Replacement of a Defaulting Lender
33.5.1		The Borrower may, at any time a Lender has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving 20 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender:
			(a)	replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and to the extent permitted by law such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or
			(b)	require such Lender to (and to the extent permitted by law such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of the undrawn Commitment of the Lender,
		to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the Borrower, and which is acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably) and (in the case of any transfer of any undrawn Commitments), which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations or unfunded participations (as the case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Utilisation and all accrued interest, Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.
33.5.2		Any transfer of rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause shall be subject to the following conditions:
			(a)	the Borrower shall have no right to replace the Agent;
			(b)	neither the Agent nor the Defaulting Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a Replacement Lender;
			(c)	the transfer must take place no later than 60 days after the notice referred to in clause 33.5.1; and
			(d)	in no event shall the Defaulting Lender be required to pay or surrender to the Replacement Lender any of the fees received by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents.
34		Sharing among the Finance Parties
34.1		Payments to Finance Parties
		If a Finance Party (a Recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics) (a Recovered Amount) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:
			(a)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;
			(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and
			(c)	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 35.5 (Partial payments).

90

34.2		Redistribution of payments
		The 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 clause 35.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.
34.3		Recovering Finance Party’s rights
34.3.1		On a distribution by the Agent under clause 34.2 (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.
34.4		Reversal of redistribution
		If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:
			(a)	each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for 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.
34.5		Exceptions
34.5.1		This clause 34 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.
34.5.2		A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if:
			(a)	it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and
			(b)	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.

35.4		Clawback
35.4.1		Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the 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.
35.4.2		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 the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
35.5		Partial payments

35.8.4		All moneys received or held by the Security Agent or by a Receiver under a Security Document in a currency other than dollars may be sold for dollars and the Obligor which executed that Security Document shall indemnify the Security Agent against the full cost in relation to the sale.

			(e)	the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses 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 Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this clause 35.9; and

Mandatory Cost Formula

1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
2	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
3	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State or in Switzerland will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank or the Central Bank of Switzerland (as the case may be) in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
4	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:
	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan:
				per cent. per annum
	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:
			per cent. per annum.
	Where:
A.	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.
B.	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost) and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in clause 8.3.1 (Default interest) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.
C.	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
D.	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

5	For the purposes of this Schedule:
	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
6	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., five per cent. will be included in the formula as five and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose 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 £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
8	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.
	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to 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 same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
10	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
11	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

113

13 The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority, the European Central Bank or the Central Bank of Switzerland (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
