the Recovering Creditor shall, within fifteen Business Days of demand by the Sharing Creditor, pay to the Sharing Creditor such amount (the Sharing Payment) as will result in the Creditor Liabilities having been reduced as if both Creditors had received or recovered amounts from the Borrower in accordance with Clause 6.2.
|
6.4
|
On a payment by the Recovering Creditor under Clause 6.3:
|
6.4.1
|
as between the Debtors and the Recovering Creditor, an amount of the Creditor Liabilities owed to the Recovering Creditor equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower to the Recovering Creditor; and
|
6.4.2
|
as between the Debtors and the Sharing Creditor, an amount of the Creditor Liabilities owed to the Sharing Creditor equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as having been paid by the Borrower to the Sharing Creditor.
|
6.5
|
If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by the Recovering Creditor becomes repayable and is repaid by the Recovering Creditor, then:
|
6.5.1
|
the Sharing Creditor shall, upon request of the Recovering Creditor, pay to the Recovering Creditor an amount equal to the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse the Recovering Creditor for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which the Recovering Creditor is required to pay) (the Redistributed Amount); and
|
6.5.2
|
as between the Borrower and the Sharing Creditor, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.
|
6.6
|
This Clause 6 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Creditor would not, after making any payment pursuant to this clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.
|
6.7
|
The Recovering Creditor is not obliged to share with the Sharing Creditor any amount which the Recovering Creditor has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:
|
6.7.1
|
the Recovering Creditor notified the Sharing Creditor of the legal or arbitration proceedings;
|
17
6.7.2
|
the Recovering Creditor was permitted to take such legal or arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Deed; and
|
6.7.3
|
the Sharing Creditor 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.
|

|
Subordination
|
7.1
|
Subject to Clause 3.3, upon an Insolvency Event occurring in respect of any Debtor:
|
7.1.1
|
the claims of the Subordinated Creditor in respect of any Subordinated Liabilities shall be postponed and subordinated in all respects to the Senior Liabilities; and
|
7.1.2
|
where either (i) the Early Repayment Conditions have not been met or (ii) the Gurnet Acquisition has occurred:
|
(a)
|
the Subordinated Creditor shall not, unless otherwise directed by the Senior Creditor, prove for the Subordinated Liabilities until the Senior Liabilities have first been paid or discharged in full (and for all purposes any Distribution received by the Senior Creditor shall only be taken to discharge the Senior Liabilities to the extent of the actual amount received); and
|
(b)
|
if the Subordinated Creditor is directed by the Senior Creditor to prove for the Subordinated Liabilities then it shall (to the extent lawfully able to do so) act in accordance with such directions and shall procure that any resultant Distributions shall be made by the liquidator of the Borrower, or any other person making the Distribution, to the Senior Creditor to the extent necessary to repay all the Senior Liabilities in full.
|
7.2
|
In the event of:
|
7.2.1
|
any payment or other Distribution being made to, or a right of set-off of any of the Debtor Liabilities against any of the Subordinated Liabilities being exercised by, the Subordinated Creditor or any Debtor contrary to the provisions of this Deed;
|
7.2.2
|
any Distribution being made by a liquidator or other person to the Subordinated Creditor (prior to the Senior Discharge Date), rather than to the Senior Creditor, as required by Clause 7.1; or
|
7.2.3
|
the Subordinated Creditor or any Debtor being required to exercise rights of set-off of the Debtor Liabilities against the Subordinated Liabilities under applicable law (as contemplated in Clause 3.1.5 or Clause 3.2.3), the Subordinated Creditor shall forthwith pay to the Senior Creditor an amount equal to the Distributions which shall have been so received by it from the relevant Debtor or the liquidator of that Debtor or such other person up to an aggregate amount equal to the Senior Liabilities or, as the case may be, in the case of set-off, an amount equal to the sum set-off up to an aggregate amount equal to the Senior Liabilities and, until such payment to the Senior Creditor, the Subordinated Creditor will hold such sums on trust for the Senior Creditor and any such sums so paid to the Senior Creditor shall be applied in or toward discharge of the Senior Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Deed.

|
8.1
|
Subject to Clause 8.2, all amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Senior Creditor (i) in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or any part of the Transaction Security or (ii) pursuant to the Guarantee (all such amounts being, for the purposes of this Clause 8, the Recoveries) shall be held by the Senior Creditor on trust to apply them at any time as the Senior Creditor (in its discretion) sees fit, to the extent permitted by applicable law (and subject to the provisions of this Clause 8), in the following order of priority:
|
8.1.1

in discharging any sums owing to the Senior Creditor, any Receiver or any Delegate;

|
8.1.3
|
in discharging any sums outstanding under the Senior Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any principal, interest, default interest, breakage costs, prepayment indemnities or indemnities) in such order as it sees fit;
|
8.1.4
|
if the Debtors are under no further actual or contingent liability under any Senior Finance Document, in payment or distribution to the Subordinated Creditor or any person to whom the Senior Creditor is obliged to pay or distribute in priority to the relevant Debtor; and
|
8.1.5
|
the balance, if any, in payment or distribution to the relevant Debtor.
|
8.2
|
Following a Distress Event the Senior Creditor may, in its discretion:
|
8.2.1
|
hold any amount of the Recoveries which is in the form of cash, and any cash which is generated by holding, managing, exploiting, collecting, realising or disposing of any Non-Cash Consideration, in one or more interest bearing suspense or impersonal accounts in the name of the Senior Creditor with such financial institution (including itself) as the Senior Creditor shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account); and
|
19
8.2.2
|
hold, manage, exploit, collect and realise any amount of the Recoveries which is in the form of Non-Cash Consideration, in each case for so long as the Senior Creditor shall think fit for later application under Clause 8.1 in respect of:
|
(i)
|
any sum to any Senior Creditor, any Receiver or any Delegate; and
|
(ii)
|
any part of the Senior Liabilities, that the Senior Creditor considers, in each case, might become due or owing at any time in the future.
|
8.3
|
Prior to the application of the Recoveries in accordance with clause 8.1 the Senior Creditor may, in its discretion, hold all or part of any Recoveries in one or more interest bearing suspense or impersonal accounts in the name of the Senior Creditor with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Senior Creditor shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending the application from time to time of those monies in the Senior Creditor’s discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 8.
|
8.4
|
For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Creditor Liabilities the Senior Creditor may:
|
8.4.1
|
convert any moneys received or recovered by the Senior Creditor from one currency to another, at such rate as it may select (acting reasonably); and
|
8.4.2
|
notionally convert the valuation provided in any opinion or valuation from one currency to another, at such rate as it may select (acting reasonably).
|
8.5
|
The obligations of any Debtor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied:
|
8.5.1
|
in the case of Clause 8.4.1 above, to the extent of the amount of the due currency purchased after deducting the costs of conversion; and
|
8.5.2
|
in the case of Clause 8.4.2 above, to the extent of the amount of the due currency which results from the notional conversion referred to in that Clause.
|
8.6
|
The Senior Creditor shall be entitled, in its discretion, (a) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and (b) to make and pay, any deductions and withholdings (on account of Taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any law or regulation to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Deed, and to pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Charged Property, or as a consequence of performing its duties or exercising its rights, powers, authorities and discretions, or by virtue of its capacity as Senior Creditor under any of the Senior Finance Documents or otherwise.
|
20
8.7
|
The Senior Creditor is under no obligation to make the payments to the Subordinated Creditor under Clause 8.1 in the same currency as that in which the Subordinated Liabilities are denominated pursuant to the relevant Subordinated Agreement.
|
8.8
|
For the purpose of calculating any person’s share of any amount payable to or by it, the Senior Creditor shall be entitled to notionally convert the Liabilities owed to any person into a common base currency (decided in its discretion by the Senior Creditor), that notional conversion to be made at the spot rate at which the Senior Creditor is able to purchase the notional base currency with the actual currency of the Liabilities owed to that person at the time at which that calculation is to be made.
|

|
