5.1 Payment on demand

(a) Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes with each Secured Party that whenever any member of the Group or any Debtor does not pay to any Secured Party any amount when due under or in connection with any Debt Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand by the Security Agent pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor.

Page | 6 of 21

(b) Each such payment shall be made by such Guarantor to such account as the Security Agent may, on behalf of the relevant Secured Party, from time to time notify in writing.

5.2 Tax gross-up

(a) Each Guarantor shall make all payments under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of tax, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law.

(b) If a Guarantor is required by law to make any such deduction or withholding:

(b) A Secured Party may set off any matured obligation due from a Guarantor under this Agreement (to the extent beneficially owned by that Secured Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Secured Party to that Guarantor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Secured Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

5.4 Default interests

(a) If a Guarantor fails to pay any amount under this Agreement on its due date, default interest shall accrue on such overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is equal to the sum of (i) the rate of interest which at the time applies to the Secured Obligations in respect of which the relevant demand under this Agreement was made (which, for the avoidance doubt, shall not include the rate of any default interest which applies to those Secured Obligations) and (ii) 3.00 per cent. per annum.

(b) Any default interest accruing under this Clause 5.4 shall be immediately payable by such Guarantor on demand.

5.6 Further assurance and power of attorney

(a) Each Guarantor shall promptly do all such acts and execute all such documents (including, without limitation, any transfer documents, notices or instructions) as the Security Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Security Agent may reasonably require) to facilitate the realisation and/or enforcement of the guarantee and indemnity created by and in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Each Guarantor irrevocably appoints the Security Agent as its attorney in fact, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, with full power of substitution, to do any act which any Guarantor is obliged to do, but has failed to do, under this Agreement (including, without limitation, to sign any transfer documents, notices or instructions on such Guarantor's behalf in accordance with this Agreement).

6 DEFERRAL OF GUARANTORS' RIGHTS

(a) During the Security Period, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent, exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents:

(i) to be indemnified by any other Debtor;

(ii) to claim any contribution from any other security provider and/or guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations;

(iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Debt Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Debt Documents by any Secured Party;

(iv) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Debtor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of the Secured Obligations;

(v) to exercise any right of set-off against any other Debtor; and/or

(vi) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Debtor in competition with any Secured Party.

(b) If a Guarantor receives any payment or distribution in relation to the rights described in paragraph (a) above, it shall, to the extent necessary to enable all of the Secured Obligations to be repaid in full, hold that payment or distribution separated from its other assets and promptly pay or transfer the same to the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) This Clause 6 shall be supplemental and without prejudice to, and shall not limit, the provisions set out in the Intercreditor Agreement.

8.2 Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Debtor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

8.3 Waiver of defences and confirmations

Page | 9 of 21

(iv) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Debtor or any other person;

(iii) any deferral, postponement or other forms of extensions granted to a Debtor or any other member of the Group in respect of any repayments, prepayments or payment to be made under any of the Debt Documents; and

(iv) a Debtor's or any other person's bankruptcy proceedings or debt reorganisa‐tion proceedings and/or any application for the latter.

8.5 Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Security Agent or any Secured 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 Agreement. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Debt Document to the contrary.

During the Security Period, the Security Agent and each Secured 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 or on behalf of that Secured 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
